I followed the male guard to where breakfast was to take place completely lost in my own thought. When I finally arrived, Lady Vena was already seated and sipping tea from an expensive glass delicately, her beautiful brown Hazel eyes moving to stare back at me.Lady Vena looked far too beautiful in her golden gown that accentuate her breast perfectly.“I’m sorry if I kept you waiting” I said quickly as I felt her eyes on me before I pulled out a chair and sat quickly, my hands folded on my lap nervously.“Hmm” was all she replied with a look of irritation flashing through her eyes.Choosing to ignore her, I glance over at the servant serving breakfast and she came with a cup of tea and place before me while I quipped pleasantly. “Thank you”I took a sip from my cup before glancing at Vena who lifted hers to her lip as well without taking her eyes off me. Placing back my cup on the table, I cleared my throat slightly before facing her.“Is something wrong with my face? I mean, I can’t
“Yes, it will hold in two days” The king continued and I clasped my hands together nervously.I have never been allowed to attend any party before or much less have one organized in mg honor. The fact that I don’t even have an idea what to expect beside what little descriptions I have read in books is making me a whole lot nervous.What if I went along and something bad happens and my true nature get revealed?“I will escort you, so there is no need to worry” Otis suddenly said, interrupting my mild panic as though he could read my mind.“Okay” I said with a small smile and he gave me a smile back.The king and Lady Vena watched our little exchange wordlessly before my eyes wandered back to the various food placed at our table. There was so much food on display that I doubt all four of us can even eat half of it.The sight of roasted duck, lamb stew, pastries, baked bread and more wine is enough to feed a whole community. Lady Vena sat to the king’s left and I sat at the Prince’s righ
“Can I skip the royal banquet?”“No, you can’t. It was organized in your honor. It would be really disrespectful to the king if you do that” Otis explained calmly why I can’t ditched my own party and I gave a small nod in understanding.I was quiet for a moment trying to imagine how it would look like wondering if I can invite Agnes as well.“Can Agnes come as well?”“I’m afraid not. I don’t think the king would appreciate another human aside from you in his party unless she is going to be there as a servant” He answered truthfully, damping my mood even further.It’s hard to think I would be going to a party in which I can’t even invite my friend or have another familiar face other than the Prince to speak with. I can already tell how boring it’s going to be.“Will there be a lot of people?” I asked in panic and heard him sighed before turning in the dark to face me. I bet he is already tired with my endless questions but I just can’t help myself.“It’s a royal banquet so yes, there w
The entire walk towards the banquet was done in silence. Whatever small amount of confidence I had before now was suddenly a passing memory. I felt weak, fragile and inadequate as compared to all the people am about to meet at the banquet. I know everything I’m feeling is all in my head was still, I can’t help but wonder.We stopped before two large door and a guard stepped forward and allowed us entrance. Even though we weren’t announced, we were immediately greeted by seas of eye from around the entire ballroom, that was filled with bodies of beautiful people clothes in the highest valued fabric and jewelries.Otis pulled us further into the crowd with an air of familiarity that spoke of his experience with these type of event. He greeted some people as we by passed people he knew without introducing me. We were halfway across the crowd of people before we came across a small crowd of men surrounding.“Prince Otis, don’t tell us we were supposed to come with our play thing just like
I let out a deep breath before sinking further into the bench, my head tilted backward to stare up at the beautiful scenery before me.The royal garden is large with variety of flowers I would love to exploit during the day, with the Prince permission of course.I can already imagine myself spending ungodly hours just snooping through it all.After a while of waiting all by myself, I heard a shuffle in one of the nearby bushes, startling me as I stood sharply before looking around in fright but saw no one in sight.“Prince?” I asked, still looking around hesitantly.The shuffling noise quiet down and I let out a breath thinking it was just my imagination before I made to sit back on the bench and just as suddenly, I felt a sharp slice across my right arm.I stumbled backward just a few step, lifting my arms to my gaze in confusion just in time to see it covered in dark red blood that was none other than mine.Danger! My subconscious mind screamed at me.I saw no one yet I felt another
“What is happening to me?” I said breathlessly.He took hold of my arm and examined it closely before letting out a sigh.“That blade used on you was poisoned and slowly you are loosing your limp, Iris and soon enough, your heart is going to stop beating as well but you can prevent that from happening if you drink my blood right now” He ground out, desperation in his voice as he offered me his blood one more time.I turned my head to the side in refusal and heard him growled. For a moment I just lay in the bathtub panting and he didn’t do anything further to persuade me even before he lowered himself to come seat beside me on the floor.“I'm sorry I let this happen to you, Iris” He said quietly, looking down at his hand.“I should have known something like this would happen to you if I leave you alone even for a second but I was selfish enough to think you would be okay but I’m even selfish now because I can’t let you loose your life because of me”I closed my eyes tighter in response
“Where you able to find out anything about who attacked me?” I couldn’t help myself but ask.“Did they get away?” “The assassin was captured”, Oti said as I continued to look at him.My attacker had already been captured. Of course, King Roman said he would. Even if he didn’t, I doubt the prince would let them get away with such disrespect on his intended even though we both know it’s a false title.“Did you recognized who it was?” I asked even more curiously.“He is still under investigation but I can tell he was hired even though he still hasn’t given anything up yet” he explained more and I was left nodding before he stopped abruptly to stare at me.“I will make them pay, I don’t care who has tried to hurt you but I will make sure they regret every bit of their decision to hurt what’s mine” he said darkly and I was left stiffen with a mortified blush over my skin.I remembered his declaration back at the banquet and now, I struggled to come up with something to say as I lifted my
Before I could asked him what he wanted to do next, he parted my legs before positioning himself between them and I was left gasping, anticipating the stab of pain.“You need to relax, love or it’s going to hurt more than you are anticipating” He said quietly and I gave a nod, totally bracing myself.He hesitated for another second before he began to push into me, gently yet steadily.I yelped at the fire of pain that came with every bit of his advancement. He paused and I exhaled another breath before he plunged into me once again, this time with precision and I couldn’t help but cry out and then whimpered over and over as I completely tensed all over him painfully.“Fuck, you are so tight” He cursed u set his breath as he pulled out just about enough to plunge back in again, this time as deeper as he could, causing me to sigh out with pleasure.Prince was really big within me as he paused for me to catch my breath, probably waiting for me to adjust to his size before he began to mo
