The Maid’s Night

The master's bride disappeared on their first night.
In the empty chamber of his princess,
the master commanded the bewildered Iveli:
"You shall take the princess's place."
A game begun, half in jest.
Yet the maid's fearful yet unyielding audacity stirred his cruel instincts.
"M-Master."
"Yes. I am your master."
Therefore,
"Quietly offer your tongue."
