MasukDARKALIDIE
The shock, panic and confusion etched deep into her face right now seemed... adorable? Her eyes were raised as she tried to comprehend my words. "Astra" I called her name. And hmm, that name sounded delicious. I wasn't joking when I told her I liked the name and wasn't going to get it out of my mouth anytime soon. "You are certainly not the type to run away from the consequences of your actions, are you?" I asked, taking another step closer to her. One more step would have my body pressed against hers. "K-kill me" She choked out and I chuckled, truly finding that cute. I stepped back, away from her, letting her finally breathe out. "Kill you? Nah, that would be the most boring thing to do with you. You seem so interesting and watching your body burst open is certainly not going to as interesting as keeping you alive." "I am not... Interesting!" "Oh, you certainly are" I reached for the handle of the knife and pulled it out. "This proves that you are. Stabbing me, really? You think I wouldn't be dead already if a stab was all it took to bring me down?" I questioned and pushed the knife back into the same spot she had stabbed. She gasped loudly and looked away, her lips quivering and her hands shaking. "Didn't you want to see me hurt? Why are you looking away now?" She said nothing, only soft whimpers left her and I clenched my jaw to stop myself from letting out a moan at her whimpers. I pulled the knife out again and let it clatter to the floor. "Get dressed and proceed with the crowning ceremony right now" My voice lost its teasing, light tone as my face equally pulled into a stern look. "Never! Just pick up that knife and stab me to death! Because I will never!" Stubborn. I did like them stubborn. "Arlan" I called. "Your majesty" "Bring them in" I ordered. "Yes sir" he exited the room and about a minute later, he walked back in with some of my men dragging in four captured men after him. They brought them down to their knees before me and as soon as the last one was forced down to his knees, I grabbed his head by his hair and unceremoniously tugged his head off, pulling it off his neck. Shrieks filled the room from the other three men and the loudest shriek came from Astra whose fingers clung to the wall. "You don't have to be scared" I raised the now detached head up and turned it to look at her. "But this one is dead because of you. So how are we getting it done? Does the next one die too or are you getting into that dress?" "Please!" She choked out. "Just kill me instead." She took a shaky step forward. "Again, No." I dropped the head to the floor and grabbed the next head. "Please, Astra!" He begged desperately and I felt a bout of fury surge in me. I didn't like that he knew her name and called her name. "I... You are a beast" "Right." I affirmed. "Too late." I twisted the head, force turning it all the way to the back and letting his body down to the floor. "Not going to ask you anymore" I moved to the third one. "But just so you know, there are many more of these out there and I do find delight in these helpless shrieks" I placed my hand over his head and he screamed out loud in pains as I manipulated the flow of his blood into his brain instead. "B-blood manipulation?" She gasped and I shrugged. "What is bone manipulation without blood manipulation?" "Stop! Stop! I will get into the dress!" She screamed, clearly being affected by the screams. "Then get into it quick, Astra or it might be too late for him." I increased the pressure of the blood into his brain. I watched with keen interest as Astra moved hurriedly to the bed, grabbing the white dress and hurriedly peeling off the one she had been wearing. "Look away" I ordered with a grim look on my face and with a few shuffling of feet, all my men were facing the other way. I didn't want her body being seen by others. My teeth was held in a tight grit while she hastily pulled the dress off her, revealing her in an equally white set of underwears. White bra and white panties that clung to her skin. Every bit of her skin seemed pure and again, I wanted to taint it. I wanted to taint it with me. With my tongue over that smooth skin, with my teeth marking her shoulder and her tits. I wanted to taint it just ever so slightly with bruises from how hard I grip her while I fuck her. "Fuck" I cursed underneath my breath, getting out of the brief trance her body had put me in, as she slid the new white dress over her body. I let my hands off the third guy and he dropped to the floor. Not dead but he wasn't going to be able to live for long anymore. Death would seem like a gift to him now. "I am in the dress" She said, her chest rising and falling. "Good girl" I gave her a grin. "Arlan..." I called his name and did a sign with my finger, my gaze totally fixed on this young priestess in front of me. Arlan handed me a lit pipe quickly and I took a long drag to calm myself. Sure, I was a horny bastard and sex was totally my thing. I had fucked countless women and there was definitely a long line of women adorning themselves in my palace right now in high hopes that I pick them up and fuck them immediately I get back but yet, I was never this much of a horny bastard. I didn't get so fucking hard from a woman stabbing me. I didn't get my c*ck throbbing painfully from merely seeing a very random woman in her underwears. And yet, all that was happening now. Astra... She was definitely something I needed to unravel. And unravel very slowly too... Slowly, because why hurry? "Now, let's head to the crowning ceremony, shall we?" I walked over to her and picked her up with an arm, throwing her over my shoulder. "Let me down, you beast!" She yelled, punching my back but her struggles only lasted a second before she stopped. With her on my shoulder, I could breathe her in even more. That pure scent. Heavens, this little thing did intoxicate me way more than this pipe did and I could not tell if that was a fairly good thing or a VERY evil occurrence.ASTRA "Thank you so much. I cannot thank you enough" I thanked Greltore for the hundredth time. That was his name. Greltore. The man who had fed me in the woods. "You do not have to thank me a thousand times" He chuckled lightly, something I had come to i realize that he loved doing a lot."I have to.""You stay in the palace?" He asked as we walked towards the path I knew would take me back to where I had earlier been. "Yes. I am a new captive of Darkaldie...""You call the king by his name?" He seemed surprised and of course, he would be. "He is your king, not mine.""I am surprised, still. Why would his majesty have let you into the mountains? A death sentence? If it was a death sentence, you shouldn't be returning to the...""It wasn't. I wanted to eat and so I went there...""You do not seem like an ordinary captive, Astra. And no one goes to that mountain to eat. One would rather starve to death." Greltore replied."His majesty didn't provide you with food?""He did but I wi
DARKALDIE HALCREMIDE Seven. That was the amount of times she could have died in the mountains if I wasn't there. That body of hers would have been ripped into so much pieces that it would be completely unrecognisable and who in the fucking world eats a random thing from a mountain they know fucking nothing about?If I didn't need her for the gems, I would have let her go off to whatever end she wanted since she seemed to badly want to court death. But for the gems and perhaps for that fucking addictive scent of hers too. I wasn't letting her go soon. But she didn't need me to clear her path off for her anymore, she's got Greltore and I at least knew the little bastard could bring her back to the palace. And Astra wouldn't dare run away from me, not just because she wouldn't dare but because what she wants the most is here with me. My life. "Your majesty," Arlan looked behind me as I walked into my private chambers. He looked towards me and behind me again. "Is she... Dead?" He a
ASTRA The familiar feeling of a spoon touching my lips was what woke me up after I had fainted. My body found sudden strength and sigh my eyes opening, my hand raised and knocked the spoon out of whosoever was feeding me hands. My eyes were barely open. I was tired. I felt empty and exhausted but I knew I could still hold on. I was not the top candidate for head priestess for no reason. "You know, you really are stubborn" It was the beast who was seating in front of me. He was the one who had attempted to feed me. I was now lying on the bed and immediately I realised that, I felt uncomfortable. I needed to get off the bed. I had fainted on the floor and I should have remained on the floor but this evil in front of me had carried me into a bed. The mere thought of it gave me goosebumps. Him touching my skin as if it wasn't enough that he touched my lips and licked my fingers!"Get away from... From me" I managed to let out weakly, trying to roll off the bed but his arm grabbed me
DARKALDIE HALCREMIDE "Mognar has been provided with everything he needs for his journey tomorrow" Arlan informed me as I fixed the sixth stone gently into the transplant box that the other five stones were in. "The gems still aren't glowing, your majesty. Do you think they ever will work?" Arlan sounded concerned but it didn't matter much."It will. It certainly will" In the past, I had doubted it a little that the gems would work for me but now, that was changing. There was this new found confidence that the gems would work for me, regardless. My immortality was close. I could feel it. "Just one more gem. I plead your majesty to allow me lead the war against them and not trouble yourself over that minor Pack" Arlan requested while I walked over to another side of the phone, picking up a jade watering pot and pouring water over a dying plant. "This plant. I tended to it quite carefully and yet it is dying. Does it deserve another chance at life?" I dropped the watering pot and p
ASTRA I glanced at the tray of food on the bedside table. It looked delicious and the aroma of the food was drawing me to it but I couldn't do it. I couldn't walk to the tray of food and throw it all into my stomach. The glass of cold orange fruit juice called onto my dry throat but I refused the call. I knew how refreshing it would be to gulp that down and I knew how much my body wanted it but I refused my body its wants. And I guess I was good at that because I was a priestess. Being a priestess also revolved around being able refusing your body its wants. There were rituals that needed one to starve for three days before being carried out, there were rituals that needed one to abstain from meat for days or months, even. And the most important restraint? Abstaining from every sexual act. That was the pillar of being a priestess. The moment you leave that pillar, you stop being a priestess. I reached a hand to my stomach, trying to withstand the biting feeling of hunger in my sto
DARKALDIE HALCREMIDE All in the meeting court rose to their feet as I stepped in through the opened doors. "Your majesty" It was a chorus, with them doing a small curt bow that I really didn't give a fuck about but yet kept it necessitated. After all, it was better to let people know exactly where they belong to. Underneath me. I pulled off my coat, my gaze on the throne before stretching the coat behind me. It was immediately taken from me by one of the assistants who followed me almost everywhere. They were disturbing at times but they were pretty useful too so I kept them around like the previous kings had done. I settled into my throne and the ministers in the room faced me. The room was filled with power hungry men and two women. The kingdom barely let women in on positions of power and that was stupid and I knew better, I knew the things women could bring and so I was slowly bringing them into positions that suited them. I also kept these men on their toes as they knew tha
ASTRAThe tears had dried up. The tears had stopped coming altogether and I was just sitting in the corner of the room, holding my knees close to my chest and wondering with a dazed hopeless look how things had spiralled this way. I had tried a few pathetic prayers to the moon but none of it was w
DARKALDIEPure. Untainted. Those two words had kicked into my head the moment my gaze had set upon her, the moment her didn't had filled my nostrils. The white priestess robe she wore, clean and almost dazzling with too much pureness for my presence. And yet her scent seemed so fucking pure too,
ASTRA "She's definitely going to become the next head priestess.""Her aunt is the head priestess and she is perfect, of course she's the next in line." Hearing such words had become a norm for me and one would think those words would no longer make me feel jiggy after hearing them for so long bu
ASTRA I would kill him. I swear I would. And I wouldn't mind dying along with him. I had made several prayers, countless pleas to the moon to crash this aircraft and lead everyone on board to our deaths. I didn't mind. I didn't care. I just wanted that beast to be dead as soon as possible and I w
