Excitedly, she clicked on the link, her curiosity piqued. The webpage loaded quickly, revealing a thread on the gaming forum that had been posted just minutes ago. Despite its recent creation, the thread had already garnered a significant number of views and replies, indicating the widespread interest in the topic.
Without hesitation, she clicked on the embedded video, eager to see what it contained. Once the video began to play, she leaned in closer to her screen, her eyes glued to the unfolding scenes.
The video played in full screen on her computer. She found herself unable to tear her eyes away from the screen. Despite her attempts to maintain a composed expression, her emotions betrayed her, causing her eyes to widen and her heart to race once more.
The scene unfolding before her was both captivating and unsettling. The emperor and the necromancer were engaged in a hot and passionate kiss, their movements slow and deliberate. Each second felt like an eternity as she watched, unable to look away from the intimate display.
The kiss evoked a flurry of emotions within her, stirring up memories of her own encounter with the emperor earlier. Her heart pounded in her chest, the sensation almost overwhelming as she relived the intensity of their interaction.
Suddenly, she felt as though the emperor's gaze in the video was directed straight at her, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. It sent a chill down her spine, as if he were mocking everyone who dared to watch the intimate moment.
*Ba-thump*
The sound of her heart seemed to echo in her ears, drowning out all other noise. For a moment, she felt as though she were choking, the intensity of the situation threatening to overwhelm her.
Her vision blurred momentarily, and she could have sworn that the emperor's gaze bore a striking resemblance to that of Godlike, the player who had defeated her in the tournament two years ago. The memory sent a shiver down her spine, the resemblance uncanny and unsettling.
"Ha, ha. Very funny, guys," she replied with a sheepish grin, hoping to brush off their comments as mere banter. But deep down, she knew there was a grain of truth to their words.
She prompted her to glance at her reflection on the screen, and she couldn't deny the telltale blush that stained her cheeks. "Anyway, I'm fine," she replied, trying to sound casual despite the butterflies fluttering in her stomach.
She realized that she couldn't continue streaming under these circumstances. The thought of facing her audience with her cheeks aflame was simply too embarrassing to bear. With a sigh, she decided to end her stream, knowing that she needed some time to collect herself and shake off the lingering effects of the battle. "I guess the battle affected me more than I thought," she admitted reluctantly.
NoobNinjaBanana: Take a rest. You need it.
Sir Fartsalot: Nite, Valkyrie.
"Good night, everyone. See you tomorrow," she said with a small wave before clicking the button to end her stream. She bid her viewers goodnight and signed off. She knew that taking care of herself was more important in this moment.
VirtualValkyrie leaned back in her chair. A deep sigh escaped her lips, mingling with the quiet hum of her room. She couldn't help but feel exasperated by her own emotions, which seemed to spiral out of control every time the topic of the emperor arose.
"Ugh, this is ridiculous," she muttered to herself, her hands instinctively rising to cover her face in frustration. It was a feeling she was all too familiar with, one that left her feeling powerless and vulnerable.
It wasn't the first time she had experienced these confusing emotions, and she knew it wouldn't be the last. But each time it happened, she couldn't shake the feeling of embarrassment that washed over her. She prided herself on being in control of her emotions, yet here she was, feeling like a lovesick teenager pining after a celebrity crush.
But VirtualValkyrie knew that her reluctance to embrace these feelings ran deeper than just embarrassment. It was a defense mechanism, a way of protecting herself from the pain and heartache that often came with romantic entanglements. After witnessing the tragic consequences of her friend's infatuation, she had made a conscious decision to guard her heart against such vulnerabilities.
