The figure turned and smiled. āmy name, i donāt have a nameāhe said teasing her.
ādonāt play games with meā, Dianne said.
āwhy,what do you need a name forā.
āso i can find you and kill youā, Dianne spatted out.
āadmit it, you liked itā, the figure said.
āi donāt think, killing, is enough for youā, Dianne said and the bell rang again.
āyour nameā, Dianne prompted.
āLucien, call me, Lucienā, he said and left without another word.
āLucienā, Dianne whispered the name, it sounded so different..
******************
āmy lord, i have been waiting for you a long timeā, Jasper said.
āis he ready to recieve meā, the figure whose name was Lucien said.
āindeed, right this wayā, Jasper said leading him to a room.
āHIS ROYAL LORDSHIP, LUCIEN DA VINCI III HAS ARRIVEDā. Jasper announced as they got into the room.
āi seeā, King Maximillian said as they entered. āyouāre still aliveā, he said.
āas you can see, i am indeedā, Lucien said.
āyou should be dead alongside your parentsā, King Maximillian growledā
āunfortunately, i wasnāt and thatās too badā, he said. āletās quit the frivolities, you know why iām hereā.
āwhat do you want, you insolent creatureā.
āi want every single bloody thing, that is mineā. Lucien said.
āare you declaring war!ā, King Maximillian said.
ādo you think you can stand against meā, Lucien said.
āiām going to make things easier for youā, he added knowing fully well he had the upper hand. āiām going to give you a week to make up your mind, your life and kingdom in exchange for your daughterā, he said and his right- hand man blinked, this was not in the plan, they were no options for him none at all.
āleave my daughter out of this, she is not involved in thisā, King Maximillian said.
āoh, yes, she is, with a body like hers, sheās definitely involvedā, Lucien said licking his lips
āmy daughter is not a bargaining tool, leave her out of thisā, the king said.
āsheās the only saving grace you have left, either way, iāll still have her, iām only making it easier for you, you of all people know i donāt give second chancesā.
āi refuse to allow my daughter, be involved with you, she is not going to be your sex slave, sheās worth more than thatā.
āsex slave, i like the sound of that, what i do with your daughter is none of your damn buisnessā.
āmake a wise decision, i wonāt be paitent for any longerā, he added.
ofāyou wonāt have her, over my dead body!!ā. King maximillian said.
āvery well then, it shall be over your dead bodyā, Lucien said and walked away.
āyou should be grateful, heās bargaining with youā, Jasper said. āhe doesnāt usually does thatā.
āguards!!ā, King maximillian yelled...
***************************
My name...... my name is Lucienā, Dianne groaned for the tenth time, she just couldnāt get the sound of his voice out of her head, his name sounded so different, so strange, so... so..... and his kisses.....
āoh, God, i definitely need to get this out of my systemā, Dianne groaned again.
āyour highnessā, Maria called, āis there anything i can do for youā, she said. Dianne shook her head. āyou seem quite distraughtā, Maria added.
āitās just that...... never mind, itās not something you can doā, Dianne said instead.
It was the first time, someone had gotten on her nerves like that, and she just couldnāt understand how he managed to do that, not even edward whom she had started to like can do that.
āMaria, have you ever felt strange, when youāre with a manā, she said out of the blue.
Maria gasped, āmy princess, donāt tell me, youāve finally slept with a manā, she said, Dianne choked and coughed. āi thought, you said no one here is good for you, you have finally decided to pop your maiden head, your highnessā, Maria gushed.
āno... no, itās not like thatā, dyanne said.
Maria blinked, āthen what is itā, she said.
āi donāt know, myself, itās just strangeā, Dianne said, glancing at herself in the mirror.
āprehaps, you might have.......ā
āno way, itās not pssibleā, Dianne interrupted, ādo i look like the type of person to fall in love with a total stranger, thatās not possibleā.
ābesides, why are we even talking about this, quick, help me undressā.
āyes, your highnessā, Maria said.
Love..... love, my foot.
***********************
King Maximillian paced the throne room in agitation. ā how many soldiers do we have at handā, he asked the royal adviser.
āa thousand soldiers at hand, sireā, the adviser said.
āa thousand soldiers!!ā, he thundered. ā in all my years of conquest, youāre telling me, i have a thousand soldiers at handā, he said.
The royal adviser trembled, āyou have about fifty thousand soldiers,your majesty, but they were all dispatched at your varius places youāve conquered, only a thousand soldiers is at hand now, your majestyā. The royal attendant said.
āwhy?, a thousand soldiers, donāt you know that is it where the king is that needs more protectionā.
āthose where your orders, your majestyā, the royal adviser said.
āi did that?ā, the king said.
āyes, your majesty, you said that no one would dare come against you, thatās why only here has the least protectionā.
The king could see now, that it was a bad decision. āhow soon can an army be dispatched hereā, he said hopefully.
āthe closest army, is in the regions, it will take a monthā, the adviser said.
āa month, i donāt have a month!!ā, the King yelled.
āiām afraid, your highness, there is no other optionā.
āhow big is our attackerās armyā, he said.
āyour highness, yours is nothing compared to his, he has armies scattered all over and all of them are skilled in weaponry and are good fighters too, his, is the best in all the plainsā, the adviser said.
āhow many other options do we haveā, the King said.
āiām afraid, your majesty, we donāt have any other optionā, the adviser said, ā he may consider us, if we heed to his demandsā.
āno way, i am not sacrificing my daughter to that worthless creatureā, he said.
āthatās our only option, your majesty, all we have to do is waitā, the adviser said solemnly.
āthen wait, we shallā.
*****************************
āmy lord, you offered him, his life in exchange for his daughter, that was not part of the planā, Jasper said.
āand how does that affect youā, Lucien said.
āmy lord, our original plan was to kill them all, spare no one aliveā, he said.
ābut then, i didnāt know he had such a beautiful daughter, i can always change my mind, when someone has she is, is involvedā, Lucien said.
āwhat makes you think, King Maximillian would give you his daughterā.
āhe has no choiceā.
āa die hard like Maximillian, always have other choicesā, Jasper said, ā and whatās stopping him from using his daughter against you, eventuallyā.
āhe can try, but he wonāt succeedā, Lucien said.
āyou are really just going to let him go after all he has done to you and your entire familyā, Jasper said.
āno, iām notā, Lucien said.āhe deserves more than iām going to do to himā. Jasper smiled, now, thatās what he wanted to hear.
āthen iāll make the arrangements, sireā, he said, āwhat do you intend to doā.
āevery single thing that belongs to him, is mineā, Lucien said. ā but i want him to suffer slowly, above all, let him smell what itās like to lose everything, you ever haveā.
āit shall be done!!ā.....
"your majesty, there has been an attack on the eastern borderā, the royal attendant said as he bustled in.āhow many soldiers survivedā, the King said.ānone, your highnessā, he said. King Maximillian sighed, in just two days he had lost more than half of his kingdom and he knew who was just behind it, and he knew the game he was playing.āhow far will it be before they get to usā, King Maximillian said.āthree daysā.āthatās enough, send a message to the northern kingdomā, he said.ādonāt you think thatās too risky, youāre forfeiting your only chanceā, the attendant said.āther is no other option, i wonāt let him have his hands on her, i have to keep her safeā.āthe princess is more than capable of taking care of her self, youāve seen that yourself on the battle field, sheās even better than most of our soldiersā, the attendant said.ānever the less, i donāt plan on gambling with her life, she is precious to meā, the King said.ābut.... your majesty.......ā.āsilenceā, King Maxi
The next two days went by in a flash, there were a lot of preparation for the impromptu engagement. It was to be done in secret, especially since, there was an axe hanging over their heads, the engagement wasnāt elaborate, in fact it was a very simple one. The entourage of the northern kingdom had arrived with gifts for their beloved bride. The Prince was already in attendance, he has finally gotten the love of his life, he was dressed in white as the tradition demands, to him he would have wanted more time to plan a more elaborate engagement, he understood that everything has to be done in a hurry, never the less, he would make it up in their wedding, he would give her the elaborate wedding she rightly deserves.āPrincesss Dianne Nefertiti Nigel Maximillian, bride to Prince Edward of the northern regions has arrivedā, the royal attendant announced.Dianne walked in, dressed in scarlet which was totally against the tradition, everyone gasped. Worse the dress scantily covered her body,
Dianne sat wearily and stared at herself in the mirror, at long last, she was able to rest. Somehow, father decided to make their journey to the northern kingdoms, a little earlier, they had been trudging non stop through the woods on carriages and horses. Luckily, the northern men had built houses along the roads, making it easier to rest as they went along. Yet, she felt father wasnāt telling her the truth, what could possibly had made him in such a hurry to marry her off, speaking of marriage, she sighed, all to soon she had wished they spent more time on the road. Now, tonight was her wedding, the Prince made sure that her wedding was an elaborate one, kings and queens were invited for their wedding. Here she was, decked out in the traditional wedding attire of the northern, white and baby blue, the two colours she hated the most, she wanted a bolder colour, but father said it was proper, especially since it represented that she was untouched. The dress was hideous, covering
“you must promise me to live your life to the fullest, my princess, i don’t want to die in vain”, she said as her breath became uneven.“you are not going to die, Maria, you are not going to die”.“it is an honor for me, dying at your service”, Maria said and coughed, strugging for breath but it wasn’t forth coming. She finally gave up struggling, she raised her bloodied hand to touch her Princess cheeks..... and took her last breath.“NO!!”, Dianne cried, cried for the death of someone who was very dear to her, someone who was like a sister, now she was dead. Dianne saw red as anger vibrated from her, they will all pay, they all will!!. She stood up and with a roar, she charged. A careless soldier aimed at her and she swiped him of his feet, she sunk her sword into his chest and twisted it.“this is for Maria”, she said as the soldi
“father, no!!”, Dianne screamed as a sword was rammed into him.“that man, you call father, deserves a painful death, for your disrespect you get to watch how your father dies by my hand”, he said. Dianne could barely move as Lucien took a sword and gutted him out.“this is for my people and my family”, he said, splilling his blood and intestine every where, “you get to die a miserable death”. Prince Edward fainted at the sight, Dianne stood not wanting to believe her eyes, “he can’t be dead, pls get up, he can’t die”, and when her father made no movement.She screamed, “father !!”. All hell broke lose as Dianne released herself from their grip, one by one, she killed them all. Lucien stood impressed by her anger, she was like a goddess of war, as she killed and maimed, destroyed. No one could stand in her way, she came at him with fire in her
Dianne was barely give a chance to sleep, when she was bundled by maids into the wash room and was bathed in the most exotic way, her body throbbed with different sensation and most importantly, she felt erotic, sexy. The maids dressed her up in an exotic golden dress, that barely covered her body, only her nipples and her privates was covered and she was draped in golden shawl completely see through, Dianne gasped, it was more than she could allowed. āi canāt possibly wears thisā, she said, glancing at herself in the mirror, she look like an egyptian whore. āit has been requested that you wear this, it is the masterās ordersā, the maid said ābesides we have been told that you like this type of dressingā, she added accusingly. Yes, she liked this type of dressing, but she doesnāt like being forced into it, just to please an egostical mad manās whims. They clasped a golden bracelet on her wrist and dragged her out. ādonāt touch me, i canāt possibly wear thisā, she said,
Dianne was led into the palace, her feet was begining to sleep, all thanks to the back breaking journey and some other things, she barely took in her surroundings, her body needed sleep and she would kill for a bed right now. Come morning, she would think about the implications of Lucienās words. But one thing was certain there was no way, she would allow herself to be binded to someone like him, not even in a million years, she was lead to a room and she almost moaned at the sight of the bed, she ambled quickly and fell, allowing the lure of the soft cushions to draw to sleep. Come morning, she was definitely getting out of here.... ******************āmy lord, wonāt you reconsider for a bitā, Jasper said as he helped Lucien undress.āi have made my decision and itās finalā, Lucien said, raising his arm for Jasper to remove his cuffs.āthis decision wonāt go well with the other kings and youāre just new to the throneā, Jasper said reason
āis everything all setā, Lucien asked.āyes, my lordā, Jasper said āeverything is all set and waitingā.Lucien nodded, he had expected nothing to go wrong, especially not today, not when he had finally gotten the princess where he wanted her.ānothing better go wrong today, Jasperā, Lucien said.āyes, my lord, iāll make sure to double checkā, Jasper said and eased himself out. The binding ceremony would soon take place anytime soon, very soon, the hot and sexy priness would be his and his alone. The moment Jasper entered, Lucien knew something was wrong.āwhat?!ā, he said, infuriatingly.āshe escaped, my lordā, Jasper said with his head bowed to avoid his masterās wrath.āhow is that possible, with all the guards around!!ā, he yelled.āit seems, she decieved the maids in charge of her that she wants to rest but apparently, she used the opportunity to slip away and then she knifed a guard who was too busy trying to get into her pants to stop herā.āshe couldnāt have gotten fa
