The figure watched as she slip from the crowd when she thought no one noticed he smiled and followed her admist the complaints from his right hand Man, he followed as she moved into the courtyard enjoying the cool breeze it blew her flaming red hair and expose those creamy legs, he had to struggle to get hold of himself.
All of a sudden she turned and he quickly slipped into the shadows when she continued moving he followed again this time slowly so as not to attract attention again , she turned but he was well hidden. She shook her head and before he knew it she has disappeared Where could she have gone to he mused trying to follow where he last saw her he still couldn't find her.

āWhoa easy dear no cause for alarmā, the man said his voice so calm, soft and silky.
āthat still doesn't answer my questionā, she said holding knife more closer to his neck.
āam I not allowed to follow a woman who I think is very beautiful and hotā,he said.
āit still doesn't answer my. . .ā, Dianne was about to say but was knocked out of breath and the man twisted and knocked the knife out of her hand now she was in his arms with her back towards him and the knife at her throat.
ārule number one never threaten a man in the shadows with a knife you might never know what might happen nextā,he said trailing the knife down her throat.
āI must say you're very talentedā,Dianne said breathlessly still short about what happenedā not many men can be able to do thatā, she added.
ātoo bad I'm not just any manā,the figure said.
ā who are youā, Dianne said āand would you let me go ā,she said struggling.
"How about a kiss firstā.
Dianne rolled her eyes ādo you know who you are harassing like thisā, she said haughtilyā I can easily have your head on a platter for this insolenceā.
āIs that so, I'm intriguedā, the figure said huskilyā what are you going to do princessā.
āLet me goā,she said struggling.
ā not until I get my kids firstā,he said and turned her to face himā I have to admit you are very beautiful for a princessā.
āwhy, a princess isn't supposed to be beautifulā,she said sarcastically.
ānot as beautiful as you areā,he said. Dianne kicked him in the groin and gave a quick jab to him in the ribs now she was free and she wasted no time and pointing the knife at him ānever underestimate a cornered princessā,. The figure groaned and raised his hand āok ok you winā, he said.
But Dianne wasnāt impressedā I'm going to say this one last time who are youā Dianne said.
āwhy are you so interested in my name princessā.

The figure smiled, intriguing no one has actually held a knife at his throat and definitely not a princess but still she alone managed to pull it and twice in the same row, he was impressed.

The princess narrowed her eyes and was about to inflict serious injury on him when they maid found them.
āOh there you are my lady his royal majesty has been looking for youā, the maid said and turned to see the figure ā and who is heā, she said ānobodyā, the princess said lowering her knifeā youāre lucky today, next time you wonāt be so lucky ā.
āNext time I'm definitely having you in my armsā,he said and Dianne made to hit him.

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,
