A TALE OF DARK LUST 30
ISABELLE’S POV I look towards the garden. No one is here like always. I am now sure that this is that part of the garden which no one ever visits. There are beautiful flowers here. There are some flowers which I have never seen before. Flowers of every color like orange, purple, yellow, and green are present here. The only thing that annoys me is that it is empty. Why is this garden so empty? I don’t know the answer to this. It is empty just like my heart and life. This thought saddens me. I feel loneliness, emptiness, and sadness inside my heart. These are the only things which I am feeling nowadays. My heart feels deserted now. Sometimes I feel like I am in a desert alone. I have no one with me whom I can call family. There is no one here with whom I can share what I feel and what my heart desires. It feels like a long time ago when I felt happiness. Now even the word happy feels so foreign to me. True happiness has become an illusion now. I wonder where my happy days got lost? Wh
A TALE OF DARK LUST 31
ISABELLE’S POV I was looking around when I suddenly remembered what I had been thinking about. I have been thinking about something for quite some days. I am so bored because I have nothing to do so I want something to occupy my mind. I want something which helps to take my mind off stupid things and thoughts. There is something I want and I know only the king can give me permission for this but I don’t know how to ask him about this. I fear that he might get angry. There are chances that he refuses too. I don’t care if he refuses or gets angry but I will ask him. “My king, there is something about which I want to talk with you. I have been thinking about it for some days but I was scared to talk with you about this?” I say with slight hesitation. I am not sure what his reaction will be. “You don’t have to be scared of me. You can ask and talk with me about whatever you want. Is it something that you want?” The king asks me. How did he know that I wanted something? Is it possible
A TALE OF DARK LUST 32
ERIC’S POV I look towards the bracelet. I pick it up and examine the worn-out threads. I think I should give it back to Isabelle. It seemed special to her. It is special for me only because it belongs to Isabelle but why is it special for her? It must be given by someone she loved like some family member. She wanted it. I could see it in her eyes. I cannot forget the way her eyes sparkled when she saw it. She was looking at it with so much love as if many memories of hers are linked with it. If it is this special for her then I think I should give it to her. I cannot let her go back to her village but I can give this bracelet to her. I know this reminds her of her village and maybe that is the reason she values it so much. She will be happy to have it back. I cannot wait to see that smile on her face when I give it to her. I have seen visible changes in Isabelle since the day I left her in the dungeon. I never wanted to hurt Isabelle and it was never in my mind to put her in t
A TALE OF DARK LUST 33
ISABELLE’S POV I moan loudly as the king continues to thrust inside me. I roam my hands on his back. “Ahh… Plea-se”. I moan. My mind is unable to think anything because of so much pleasure. He takes my nipple in his mouth and sucks making me arch my back. Just when I was going to reach my climax, he slowed down his pace. “Tell me, Isabelle, that you are mine. Say it”. The king orders. “I am-m yours”. My words are incoherent because of the pleasure. His slow pace but long thrusts is not giving me time to think. Just when I say these words, he pushes himself inside me with such a force that I climax. After a few more thrusts he releases himself inside me. We both are breathing heavily. He lays on top of me and takes my lips in a deep kiss. He then lay beside me. My breathing has still not become normal. I put my head on the king’s chest and he wrapped his arm around me. His hand is on my stomach and he is making circles with his fingers. I feel tingles whenever he does this. He p

ISABELLE’S POV “I have arranged everything for your escape, Isabelle. You wanted freedom and now you will be free”. She tells me. I stop walking and look at her with shock. For a moment, I thought I heard wrong. I analyze her face and see only sincerity. I don’t think she is kidding me. She is looking so serious at this moment. “But why would you do that? You were against this then why are you helping me to escape?”. I ask her, shocked. It is too hard for me to believe what she is saying. She always told me that escape is not an option and I should accept that I cannot go back then why is she helping me to escape? I remember her words. Whenever I cried and told her that I wanted to escape, she would quiet me. What changed her mind? What convinced her to help me in escaping? Why is she helping me now? She stops walking but does not turn around to look at me. What is she thinking? “You need to tell me everything, Ivy. You are confusing me. I am getting worried. I will not go till yo

ISABELLE’S POV I could not believe what my eyes are seeing. This is not possible. Now I get it. This all was a dream because he cannot be here. I blink my eyes repeatedly but he is still standing in front of me. I did not wake up. It means this is reality. How can this be possible? How can he be here? Is fate playing with me again? It did not take me even a second to recognize him. How can I forget him? He can't be here. Why is he here in this palace? I thought Robert had escaped with the other villagers then how is he here? Only he is the one who can answer my questions. He has not looked my way even once. He is busy talking with Ivy. “Robert! What are you doing here?” I ask him and gain his attention. He looks toward me and his eyes become wide with surprise. He did not know that I was here. He is as shocked as I am to see him here. I did not know that I was going to meet him. I had thought that I would never be able to meet him again. “Belle, is this you?”. He asks me unsure. I
A TALE OF DARK LUST 36
ISABELLE’S POV Suddenly the cart stops and I become worried. Why did it stop? We can't reach the town so soon. From what I remember, the town is quite far from the palace. What made the man stop the cart? I pray to God that it starts moving again. “Why have you not opened the gates? You seem to be new here. Open the gates so that we can go”. I hear the man’s voice. The gates did not open? Why? This means that we are still within the palace’s boundary. “I am not new. I am Barden, the head of all the soldiers who are appointed for the security of the palace’s boundary. The king has given me this position before leaving. The gates will not open unless we have checked the carts”. The man whose name is Barden speaks loudly. His voice held authority and he seemed a pretty serious man. The thing which terrified me was his words. He will not open the gates without checking. If he does the checking then he will find me. The king will never forgive me for this. I will not be able to leave th

ISABELLE’S POV Lillian quickly comes towards us. She becomes angrier when she sees me beside Barden. She glares at me and I look at her while crying. Suddenly, a look of horror crossed her features when her eyes fell on my arm which was in the soldier’s grip. “Leave her arm right now. You cannot touch her. She belongs to the king and is very special to him. The king will cut your hand if he gets to know that you touched her”. She says to the soldier angrily and he immediately leaves my arm. He is looking at me with shock as if he just got to know that he has done a sin. “I did not know that she was someone special to the king. If I had known then I would have not touched her. I thought that she is a random slave. I was checking the carts when I found her in one of them. She was hiding between the wine barrels. I think she was trying to escape”. Barden tells Lillian quickly. Lillian comes toward me angrily. “I will talk with you later, Isabelle. You have welcomed death for yourself
