Son of the Hero King

chapter-279
In the room, the atmosphere had changed to a very ambiguous one. In front of Isis, who was clad in a simple robe, Sol took her hand between his and gently kissed the knuckles.
Feeling the touch of his lips on her hand, she shivered a little out of excitement and a small part of fear.
“How…What do we have to do?”
She wasn’t so naive that she didn’t know what they were about to do. Her question had more to do with the ritual part of the night.
“Pretty simple. We begin with an oath. Repeat after me when I give you the signal. Though, with some twist.”He then proceeded to explain how she would have to answer and how the ceremony would go before they went to the main part. The more he explained, the more Isis was blushing, until her pale skin was nearly completely red.
For once, Sol didn’t make fun of her since he admitted it was a little embarrassing. But compared to some of the things he said, this was absolutely nothing.
Standing up, he held her hand and helped her do the same.
‘Are you ready?’
He asked with his gaze,
‘I am.’
She mouthed, her eyes filled with determination,‘Well then…’
“I call the attention of the world and that of the goddess.”
The moment those words sounded, a large magical circle with intrinsic patterns appeared below them and filled the room with a soft light accompanied by a certain feeling of heaviness that was hard to explain.
This was a vow to be done with the goddess as a witness. This was also one of the reasons why Sol had no choice but to follow Luxuria's order for him to become Dragon Prince. After all, if he refused, outside of any punishment she could give, he wouldn’t be able to sign any biding vow without her or any other goddesses as a witness.
But this didn’t matter now, he nodded at Isis and began,
“I, Sol Dragona Luxuria, affirm my love to you, as I invite you to share my life.”
Isis fought against her own embarrassment as she answered,
“I, Isis Crow, reciprocate your love and accept your invitation.”
The light of the circle that was initially simply white flashed for a while before changing into a beautiful pink hue, prompting Sol to release a sigh of relief. This has been the important part.
The circle had just judged the feeling they had for each other and determined that they were indeed in love enough to pass. Had it not been the case, the circle wouldn’t have changed color. Depending on the type of contract, the introduction would be different and the same went for the change of color.
Motes of light began to fly around, making it as if they were in a fairyland while words slowly formed in their minds,
[Do you swear loyalty, love, and devotion to each other?”
““We do.””
[Then, make your vows.]
“Isis Crow, I promise to love you, to be your best friend, to respect and support you, to be patient with you, to work together with you to achieve our goals, to accept you unconditionally, and to share life with you throughout the years.”
Tears brimmed in the corner of Isis’s eyes, a profound feeling of joy and confidence filling her,
“Sol Dragona Luxuria. I pledge my undying love to you. I promise to be kind, unselfish, respectful, and trustworthy so that together, our dreams of a beautiful future can come true.”
The light between them became far stronger. The words they uttered appeared in the air before swiftly reaching them and entering their bodies and reaching their hearts.
Sol could feel as if a part of him was being filled. As if a pool that was initially completely void of anything was filled with a little more water. Sol easily understood that this pool was his overall capacity and the part being filled represented the number of points Isis was costing him.
He didn’t know by how much exactly but once the ceremony ended, Sol was sure that Isis would cost far more than the 100 points S class magical beings were supposed to cost.
The light of the circle slowly dimmed then, as the first part of the ceremony ended. All the contracts were divided into two-part. The first one consisted of the vow itself, while the second part necessitated an exchange.
If this was a Pride type, Isis would have needed to kneel and swear her loyalty. A Greed one would have Sol giving her one of his most precious possession, and a sloth one would have her sleep in his arm.
As a Lust-type contract, it was of course impossible for it to end without anything lustful happening and the second part of the contract needed one of the contractees to give his or her virginity to the other.
The two of them gazed deep into each other eyes again, a feeling of euphoria washing over them, they could already faintly feel each other existence and once this was done, the two of them would become inseparable.
Sol wanted to ask her once again if she was really sure. If she was ready to follow him in his crazy life. But he refused to voice those questions. They had already come too far and asked her this now would be no different from insulting her.
This was why, leaning down, he delicately raised her chin with his hand and bent down to land a gentle kiss full of love and affection on her lips.
Isis closed her eyes as she felt his lips on her. Then she shivered as he kissed her forehead, her cheeks, and finally nibbled on her earlobe.
His actions were slow. Deliberately heightening her sense of anticipation as he rained hot kisses on her.
In the end, he once again came back to her lips. But this time, the kiss was far different from the earlier chaste one. Partings her lips at the feeling of urgency she felt from him, she moaned when she felt his tongue slither in her mouth while he took her by the hip and hugged her tightly.
Once their lips parted, Sol gently parted a strand of hair with a smile on his face before moving down the strap of her dress, revealing her bare body to his sight.
“Ah…”
Isis let out a gasp as she felt the small breeze move on her skin. Her nipples, like small cherries, were erected and she would be lying if she said that it was only because of the cold air.
Now that she did not even have a stitch of clothes on her, Sol once again realized how beautiful Isis was. She wasn’t at Nerftiti level and he honestly doubted he would meet someone more beautiful outside of a goddess.
Even then, Isis was so beautiful that there was no doubt she had nothing human about her. Her pale skin seemed to glisten under the moonlight. Her breasts were average in size compared to some of the women he knew but no less attractive.
Even though Isis was a little embarrassed, she was happy to see how he reacted to the sight of her body. She had lacked a little confidence since she knew that he was surrounded by women as much if not sometimes more beautiful than her but now she knew she had nothing to fear.
“You like what you are seeing?”
Giving a cheeky smile, she showed boldly her assets to him.
Sol gulped a little, his voice thick with desire when he finally spoke, “Oh Isis. You have no idea what you are doing to me.”
He said before bending down and sweeping her into a princess carry.
Isis let out a cute yelp at the sudden movement and laughed a little bit, “This reminds me of when we first visited the desert. Back then you weren’t so tender with me.”
Sol chortled at that. Indeed during their adventure at that time, the two of them were still quite cross with each other. It was weird how so much time had passed.
“Back when we first meet, I would have never thought that the two of us would end up like this.”
Their first meeting had indeed not been the smoothest and Isis knew that was totally her fault. Then again, Sol didn’t blame her for he knew what her reasons for this were.
Walking toward the bed, he placed her as carefully as if he was handling a fragile piece of crystal that could break at any moment and indeed. Lying there with a mix between sultriness and innocence, Sol was even more excited than he was at first. He felt like he was on the verge of exploding. But he knew that he couldn’t rush. Not now at least.
“Leave everything to me.”
He promised her a night she wouldn’t forget and he would keep that promise no matter what.
