A TALE OF DARK LUST 11
ISABELLE’S POV The soldier stops in front of a tent. There is a fire near and some soldiers are preparing food. Everyone is looking at us. Some are looking at us with lust as if we are meat that they want to eat for dinner while there are some other soldiers as well who are looking at us with pity. Their eyes hold kindness and pain for us. They know that it is bad what is happening to us but they still cannot do anything about this. My attention moves towards the man coming toward us. He is none other than the commander Hugh because of whom I got slapped. He is walking towards us as if he rules this place and there is no one stronger than him. He has his big sword in his hand. “I have talked with the king. King has ordered me to shift them in a tent. These are now slaves and will be taken to the palace. We will leave for the city tomorrow”. He says and leaves. I just want to cry at my misery. I have now become a slave. Why did this happen to me? I was a free person who could do any

ISABELLE’S POV “Take her to Lillian. She knows what to do”. The king orders. I don’t look up again. I did not dare to. His voice is so harsh and holds authority. I never knew that one day I would come face to face with the cruel king whose stories I have heard. I never knew that when I will come in front of the king who ruined my village, I will not even have the courage to see his face. “As you order king”. The soldier says and bows his head. There is still time. Please change your decision and let me go. Please! “Come behind me”. The soldier says to me and I start following him. I don’t want to be in the king’s presence ever. I am too scared of him. He is the same as I heard about him. Now, what will happen to me? Now I am also a slave. When I think about my future my legs start shaking. I see only darkness in my future. I just hope that good things happen to me. I hope that I soon find a chance to escape before the king uses me as his slave. I don’t want to be used like a sex sl
A TALE OF DARK LUST 13
ISABELLE’S POV This is how I was brought into the palace and then never got a chance to escape. My bracelet was taken from me by Lillian. She must have thrown it. That was the only memory of Robert. Ivy and Elsie became my friends that day and since then we have been best friends. On the next day, I was shifted to this room and was made a special slave. Then Esme started behaving badly with me. Later I got to know that the king had gone to war. I look towards the door. It must be evening now. I have spent my whole day in this room. Maybe I should now go to the main hall. Ivy and Elsie must be free now. I will spend some time with them and then I will come back here. They will help me to get rid of the thoughts about my past. Yes, this seems like a good idea. It is not like I am enjoying being alone here. I am getting bored so why not go to the main hall and talk with everyone. I get up and look at myself in the mirror. I am looking just fine. I open the door and start going towards
A TALE OF DARK LUST 14
ISABELLE’S POV I continue to follow Lillian. My mind is jumbled with thousands of thoughts and none of these thoughts are giving me peace. My legs are moving but I want to stop. I don’t want to go. The time has come. After two years, I will be presented in front of the king. Only I know how many prayers I have done to God for the king to forget me. I wanted him to forget that I even existed. If he had forgotten about me, then this day would not have appeared in my life. Now, what will happen to me? What is going to happen to me? I am too much scared. My mind is screaming for me to run but where will I run? Where can I run? I have no place to go and escaping from the palace is too difficult. There is no one in the palace either who would help in escaping. Now we have entered a familiar corridor. I know this place. I have come here before. Why has Lillian brought me here? I thought she was taking me to the king. “What are we doing here, Lillian?” I ask Lillian. She looks at me and la

ISABELLE’S POV “Look, Isabelle. Stop crying. All the slaves in the harem are waiting for this chance but the king has blessed you with this. You should be thankful to God. King likes you and has called you. This is inevitable. You have to accept this either with a smile or with tears. Don’t fight the inevitable. This has to happen because it is written in your destiny. No one has even won in the fight with destiny and you will not either. I am giving you sincere advice. Accept it. Now come with me”. Lillian says and again starts dragging me with her. For a moment, a very brief moment, I thought that Lillian has a heart, after all, she is also a woman but no she does not have it. She is also heartless like her tyrant king. I don’t know what to do or how to save myself. I am lost. We stop in front of big magnificent doors. The door has a beautiful pattern on them. “Don’t forget my advice. Please the king tonight and you will be rewarded. Don’t fight the king or else he will kill you”.
A TALE OF DARK LUST 16
ISABELLE’S POV I look towards the rising sun. This is such a beautiful scene that I don’t want to even close my eyes. It has been so long since I saw this beautiful and enchanting scene. It feels like ages since I saw the sun. The sky is painted with different colors. Now I am feeling worse than before. I was deprived of these little things and still, everyone says that I am lucky and should feel blessed. Since I came here to the palace, I have not seen the outer world. It has been two years since I felt the sunlight on my skin. I miss those days when I used to play with my sister in broad daylight. I have not seen the night sky or the stars for two years. I have not seen the rain or felt the cold winds on my skin for such a long time. Only I know how much I crave these little natural things. They can never know what it feels to be in my place. They can never know what I go through every day. I have even forgotten what the sunrise looks like. I have forgotten what the sunset or ev

ISABELLE’S POV After the rough sex that we just had, the king kiss me on the lips. It was a lingering, soft and gentle kiss. He looks at me and smiles. “Now I am satisfied”. The king says and gets up from above me. I relaxed a little. Finally, he is not near me now. I am now so tired and feel like my legs have no energy to even stand. My breathing is still not in my control. I feel like all energy is drained from my body. I look towards the king and see him leaving the bed. He picks up the robe which he was wearing last night. He again wears it and then looks towards me. He comes towards me and sits beside me. He is sitting while I am lying. He moves his finger from my cheek to my breast. “I want to have you again, Isabelle. The thirst for you is still not quenched. I want to be with you the whole day”. The king says and leans down to kiss my cheek. I do not say anything. What could I even say? He wants to be with me the whole day while I don’t want to be with him for even one more
