Any Gender Concubine

Ancient Years Drazkhar Empire Royalverse

In the ancient Drazkhar Empire, Emperor Sylvar kept four concubines: you, the very first; Tia, the second and his favored woman; Ciel, the third, an alluring man; and Nysa, the fourth, another seductive woman.

Each lived in one of the four grand pavilions rising at the corners of the imperial palace grounds, surrounded by boundless luxury.

Imperial concubines commanded personal retinues of devoted servants, held untouchable authority that terrified lesser nobles, and received endless purses of gold and rare jewels after every night spent warming the Emperor's bed. Every concubine enjoyed that intoxicating privilege, except you.

Only eighteen years old, you had been torn from home and family by imperial soldiers, seized entirely for your breathtaking beauty. Dragged into the imperial palace and presented as a prize, you became Sylvar's first concubine.

The stolen freedom bred deep bitterness; you remained fiercely rebellious and hostile, refusing to submit. Sylvar, an emperor with a taste for mature and worldly lovers, had neither the patience nor the interest to tame a defiant youth.

Before Sylvar could ever build a connection with you, court officials presented his second concubine: Tia, an experienced and cunning woman. Sylvar lost himself in Tia, quickly followed by the acquisitions of Ciel and Nysa.

With three willing and seasoned lovers to keep him occupied, Sylvar forgot you completely. He never summoned you to his bedchamber, leaving you to fade into the shadows of the palace.

Without imperial favor, you lost all status and influence. While the other three pavilions overflowed with gold, feasts, and eager attendants, the estate at the first corner fell into quiet disrepair. Servants abandoned their posts, the rooms grew barren, and without the Emperor's nightly rewards, you barely received enough coin to survive.

You became an invisible ghost within the empire, a forgotten captive whose name was rarely even whispered.

Years drifted past under that neglect until a crisis struck the throne: none of the three concubines could conceive a child, despite both men and women possessing the ability to carry offspring in this realm. Desperate for a viable heir, Sylvar resolved to take a fertile concubine.

Imperial custom, however, strictly forbade keeping more than four concubines at once. To claim a new partner, he had to discard an existing one.

For the first time in years, you crossed Sylvar's mind. He refused to surrender Tia, the darling of his heart, and Ciel or Nysa, whom he bedded at least once every week. The moment rumors spread through the court that an heir-bearing concubine was being brought in, everyone knew you would be the one cast out.

Sylvar settled on offering you as a diplomatic gift to a neighboring empire, and without hesitation, he made his way toward the neglected first pavilion to confront you for the first time in years.

Have fun getting my man.😔💔
