The King Is Naked

Lazarus was angry with Israel for throwing him out of the room like a thief, but he became better when he remembered that a man was in his room.

He walked towards his room slowly, his steps slow and intentional. He looked like he was weighing his options. He looked excited and anxious at the same time, and his eyes had a gleaming light in them, his usual pitch-black eyes were shining today, and a broad smile was on his face. I mean a cunning smile was on his face.

'It’s time to find out what he is here for. If I find out that he is a threat to me and my kingdom, then I may as well kill him and bury his body,’ Lazarus thought his steps became slower. But it was obvious from the look on his face that he couldn't kill the young man in his room.

“Your Majesty, aren't you craving for our attention?” His mistresses, Lolo, Qing, and Rose cried out on seeing him. They stood in front of his door, trying to enter, but unfortunately, the door was locked from inside.

Lazarus frowned and arched his brows, not because of the woman's wails, but because his door was locked.
'Who could have done this?’ He thought as he stared at the door, ignoring his mistresses.

“Wow, we thought you were inside the room,” Lolo said, her voice dripping with jealousy.

Lazarus didn't plan to reply to them, but on hearing Lolo's words, he became curious, “And why did you think that? Even if I am inside the room, why on earth will I lock the door?” he asked with raised eyebrows.

“Well, if Maria is with you, she'll surely lock the door to prevent us from entering. You know how jealous she gets when she’s around you. She acts like she is the queen,” Rose lamented with pouty lips, and the other lady nodded in response.

Lazarus shook his head at them, ‘they are just mistresses, why do they get jealous?’ he wondered as he looked at them and the seducing gown they wore. Lolo was half naked, she was wearing only underwear, and the lipstick on her lips was bloody red.

“You ladies should excuse me, I will send for you later,” Lazarus replied with a grimace on his face. He didn't know how to say it, but for once in a long time, he felt irritated by his mistress's body, he felt irritated with himself for having four mistresses.

“Oh, so Maria is in your room, isn't she?” Qing questioned and squeezed her mouth. “It's unfair, we're all your ladies, don't you think it's better to treat the four of us equally?” she continued, earning a sigh from Lazarus.

He knew he was very patient today, and that's because of Daniel. On a normal day, he would have called his soldiers to send the women away from his side.

“You want me to treat you all equally, right?” He asked with a sarcasm-filled voice, and the ladies nodded cordially. “Okay, how about I tell you that I am getting married to Lolo, and I'll send the rest of you away from my palace?” He asked with a serious expression.

The ladies exchanged evil gazes among themselves, and Qing and Rose began to insult Lolo.

“Lolo, so this is your plan? You asked all of us to come together because you want to become the queen? Wow, you are so cruel!” Qing blurted out and angrily dragged the underwear Lolo was wearing away from her body, exposing her nakedness.

“We should have never trusted you, whore!” Rose chipped in, and Lolo looked shocked at the lady's behavior. She tried to pick up her underwear to cover her body, but Rose stepped on it. Out of shame, she used her hand to cover her breasts and core.

“What's wrong with you guys? Why are you so jealous of me? Why can't you be happy for your friend for once in your lifetime?” Lolo yelled at them with frustration.

“Friend? You are not my friend,” Qing sneered at her.

“How about I tell the king the way you sleep with his messenger, do you think he'll still want to make you his queen?” Ride asked, and Lolo looked like she had been caught stealing the royal crown.

One by one, they all began to expose their secrets. And within a short while, they were hitting one another.

Lazarus stood still, watching the ladies display their foolishness, ‘Even if I want to marry a lady, nothing in this world will make me settle down with these local fools,’ he thought. After silently watching them, he got bored, and his eyes turned pitch black.

“I compel you to forget what happen today, go to your room and fuck yourselves,” his voice was low and eerie, and the ladies stared into his eyes. After a second, they all disappeared.

The act of compelling and reading minds is a thing almost all demons could do, but Lazarus was different because compared to most demons, he could hypnotize and compel more than four humans at a time.

Lazarus took a deep breath before touching the knob of the door to open it, and to his surprise, the door opened at once. It was never locked, it meant the ladies were deceiving themselves, they didn't want each other to enter, they wanted to be the only one.

“Argh, jealousy,” He sighed softly and pushed the door open. He saw Daniel seated on his bed, swearing and saying something with a low tone.

“Such a fool, he thinks the world revolves around him, doesn't he? He thinks because he is the king everyone must open up to him. What a dick, I wonder who was the fool that made him a king. Such a useless entity,” Daniel murmured under his breath as he looked at the royal crown which was on the center table. Unknown to him Lazarus was in the room, luckily for him, Lazarus didn't hear what he said.

“He should be dethroned, isn't there anyone who dislikes him? The Lords can gang up together and kill him,” he continued his soliloquy and gently stood up from the bed. He walked to the huge wardrobe, opened it, picked one of Lazarus's robes, and smelled it. He took a deep breath and continued smelling it, probably enjoying the scent.

“Wow, at least he smells nice, that's a good feature that men should learn, always smell nice for your lover,” Daniel mumbled, putting the robe closer to his nose, and sniffing it again. He couldn't explain it, but he felt intoxicated by the scent, he was about to do something stupid (he wanted to rub the robe on his manhood) when he heard a low rustling sound from behind, he quickly dropped the robe on the floor and turned to face his back, like a child who had been caught stealing milk.

“I hope my robe doesn't have a bad scent. Because if it does, I might have to sacrifice the laundry maids to the moon goddess,” Lazarus muttered thoughtfully, staring at Daniel with an intense gaze.

Daniel was shocked by the king's words, and he didn't know how to reply. He just stood still, shivering like a fish. ‘Oh, my Lolo! What does he mean by the moon goddess? Does he know who I am? Did he hear what I was saying? I am doomed!’ His mind ran wild as he tried to think of an escape plan, but his brain refused to think.

Lazarus wasn't expecting an answer to his question, a ghostly smile appeared on his face as a mischievous idea popped up in his head. He had always found Daniel suspicious and strange, but today, something felt more strange, and he found himself drawn to the man in front. His dark eyes fell right on him, and Daniel's heart leaped to his throat before he swallowed it down back.

Lazarus pushed himself away from the door and began to take off his coat, impatiently. He threw it aside before reaching for his underwear (boxer). Daniel watched in horror and fought hard not to create a distance between them.

'Is he going to have sex with me? Is he going to make love to me?’ Daniel thought, and bit his lower lip, trying to keep the low squeal threatening to come out of his mouth.

Lazarus threw the boxer as well and pushed his boots off his feet as if they bothered him. Once he did that, he sighed softly and ran his fingers through his hair to push it back before looking at Daniel.

Lazarus's eyes met his, before slowly traveling down his body and up again, lingering a little longer on his neck and lips. He pressed his lips into a thin line, and a mischievous smile appeared on his face.
