I sl@pped his hands away from my br**sts and frowned dangerously at him. Adrian sm-irked and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
“And what exactly do you think you’re doing?” I asked and he sighed.
“You were so sweet last night, I want to have you again” he blurted out and I scoffed.
“You can’t be serious. I c@m£ to this libr@ry with you so that you can tell me what I nee-d to know. I completed my own p@rt of the deal, now it’s your turn” I half yelled at him and he flin-ched.
“Okay okay. No nee-d to get aggressive. Let’s get down to business” he said and started looking throu-gh the shelves for something. I waited patiently until he pu-ll-ed out something that looked like a scroll used in the olden days.
“This is king Axel’s declaration…” he paused and coughed, the scroll was a bit dusty.
“King Marion’s late father, king Axel made the declaration that anyone who brings him the head of King Xander the second to him will get half of his kingdom and work by his side” Adrian explained and I sighed de-eply.
“Why king Xander?” I asked.
“King Xander and Axel were sworn enemies, it was Xander who murdered Axel and his wife, leaving Marion behind. This declaration still stands. If you’re able to bring Xander’s head.. Then u might be queen” Adrian answered, handing me the scroll.
How on earth am I going to get King Xander’s head? The security in his palace is so ti-ght that even a lizard can’t enter.
“But why hasn’t Marion conquered Xander yet? Isn’t he a great warrior?” I questioned.
“Yes he is. But Xander is more powerful and cunny. Axel wasn’t able to defeat that man, nob©dy has been able to defeat him since then” Adrian replied and I sighed again.
I grinned and brushed my nails lightly.
“The power of a woman” I stated. Adrian stared at me in a confused way.
“I don’t get you” he said.
“Just look at how I made you spill this secret, just by giving you a taste of my b©dy. I bet I can do the same to king Xander” I said and he shrugged.
“I don’t think that’s possible. That man is unshaken” he said but I rolled my eyes.
“Never say never Adrian. Leave it to me, I’ll do anything to be queen, I’ll conquer King Xander’s kingdom and this kingdom as well. Killing two birds with one stone” I sm-irked and walked out of the libr@ry holding the scroll.

I was startled when my door suddenly bur-st open, revea-ling an angry looking guard. He stared at me and gro-an ed. I got to my feet and frowned at him.
“What do you want?” I asked.
“The king demands your pres£nce immediately” he stated and I sighed. I get enraged everytime I look at king Marion’s face, I hate that man to the core and hearing his name irritates me. I sighed and left for his chambers.
I entered and found him ru-bbing his back painfully. I tried to ignore the fact that he was in pain but I couldn’t overlook it. I had to ask.
“My lord, are you okay?” I asked. I hate the way I care about this heartless man.
“I’m fine, I don’t nee-d you anymore, you can leave” he said sternly but I couldn’t bring myself to leave him in that condition. I had pity on him, clearly he was in a whole lot of pain.
“Your majesty, I can get some warm water to give you a mas-sage, you’ll feel better afterwards” I offered with my head bent. He walked up to me and stood there, I could feel him breathing on me. I closed my eyes ti-ghtly, expecting a sl@p.
“Why are you pretending to care?!” he roared and I flin-ched.
“There is no pretence here my lord. I can see you’re in a lot of pain and I want to help relieve it” I answered honestly. He gr@bb£d both of my arms and stared straight into my eyes. The look in his eyes was pain, only pain and suffering.
“Go ahead and do what you want, but I know there’s an ulterior motive behind it” he said.
“Not every nice action has an ulterior motive my lord” I said and he freed me. I went to the kitchen, brou-ght some warm water and returned to his room.
He la-id on his be-d with his stomach allowing me access to his ba-re back. I dubbe-d the warm water on his back with a cloth, after which I used a special scented oil to mas-sage him. All he did was gr0@nand m0@n .
“If I may ask your majesty, what brou-ght about this immense pain?” I dared to ask, while still mas-saging him.
“You really want to know?” he asked.
“Yes” I said, almost in a whisper.

“My story is a twisted one, one filled with anguish and sorrow” he started. I pressed down on his lower back and he gro-an ed.
“My lord, I’m re-ady to listen to you” I as-sured. Somehow I hated myself for caring so much but at the same time, I couldn’t help but feel bad for him. I wanted to know more about him.
“My father, the late king Axel died in the hands of a very cruel man, the king of Hamelton village. He murdered my parents and only sister in cold blood, I could only watch” he narrated, I saw the veins on his back and arms ti-ght£ñing. Obviously he was very enraged.
“My lord, I’m almost done with the mas-sage” I said, changing the t©pic entirely. He might decide to vent his anger on me if the story continues.
“Don’t you have anything to say about what I just told you?” he asked, turning his head to the back, staring at me. I lowered my head.
“My lord, I am at a loss for words. I un-derstand how painful it is to be separated from your loved ones” I answered. A tear dropped from my eyes as I suddenly remembered my parents. I wonder what state they are in now. My hatred for this king c@m£ back. I took the bowl of water out and returned only to meet the king in a sitting position, stark n-ked.
“My lord, I’m sorry, I didn’t know…” I said, turning back. I heard him chuckle.
“Come here Erica” he ordered, ever so softly. For the first time, his voice c@m£ out soft and gentle. I approached him and stood beside his be-d, then he pu-ll-ed me to himself, staring straight into my eyes.
“Your b©dy is tempting” he m0@n ed. He to-re off my garment and pounced on me ever so hungrily. For the first time, he made love to me on his be-d, he never allowed me on his be-d, but today..
* * *
I opened my eyes only to find out that it was morning. I was lying on my own be-d but I don’t remember coming to my room. I went straight to the kitchen for my morning duties and found Nadine singing and working.
“You look happy today” I said, I was scared that she’s still angry with me.
“Oh my precious!” she squealed and gave me a big hvg. I was surprised.
“What was that for?” I asked after she broke the hvg.
“My dear, I saw the king carrying you to your room last night. I’m so happy, this is the first time in many years that he’s exhibited such an act” Nadine said in excitement and hvgged me again.
“I’m sorry for sl@pping you the other day. Keep up what you’re doing because it’s working!” she squealed again and I couldn’t help but blus-h. The king actually carried me in his arms to my room? Wow!!
After my morning duties, I went back to my room but found princess Annabelle standing in front of my door. She wore a diamond encrusted red ball go-wn and a sparkling tiara. She’s very beautiful.
“My lady” I bowed.
“Where were you last night?” she asked with a look of disgust on her face.
“With the king, my lady” I answered.
“Hmm. I wanted you to run an errand for me last night but I couldn’t find you” she stated.
“I’ll be happy to do it right away my lady. Just tell me what it is” I said but she sighed.
“It’ll be later tonight. It’s not a daytime job. Come closer” she said, signaling with her hand. I went a little closer to her…
“Listen, I want you to do a little spying for me. I’m s£nding you to the village of Hamelton” she whispered and I g@sped.
“Why Hamelton?” I questioned. This is the same village that King Marion dre-aded. It’s king killed his family.
“Shhh. Nob©dy, especially the king should hear of this. You are to go there, to their castle and spy on the security. I want to know how ti-ght the security there is and the easiest way to get into the castle” she explained. It’s a little bit odd and suspicious that she wants me to spy but I dare not ask her.
“My lady, but why me?” I asked and she grinned.
“Because I don’t trust any other person with this job. You’re loyal to the king and that makes you loyal to me. You must do as I say” she answered me with a dangerous glare.
“Yes my lady” I bowed. I was just wondering how I’m going to spy on that village and come back alive, it seemed impossible. But I am only a slave and I don’t have a say. I can’t tell the king either, I heard he left for a war.
“Meet me tonight immediately the sun sets. Let me brief you. Remember, not a single soul should hear of this” she warned and walked away in a hurry. I entered my room and slumped into the be-d. I wonder why she’s doing this.
If I can’t tell anyb©dy, who will find me if I get lost or worst..die?
Maybe I should inform Nadine, just her.

“Why would you involve that slave in this matter? How sure are you that she won’t spoil your whole plan?” Adrian questioned with a worried look. I rolled my eyes and sat on his be-d.
“Adrian, you have to be smart in this game. Do you know how dangerous this mission is? You know what happens to a spy if discovered right?.. They die!” I said and he chuckled.
“So I want to s£nd that slave girl to do the spying for me, if she comes back alive, it’s to my advantage, if she doesn’t, then so be it” I concluded and breathed out loudly, feeling satisfied.
“I must confess princess, you have a cunny mind” Adrian sm-irked and sat beside me.
“I will st©p at nothing to get what I want” I stated. We stared into each other’s eyes and he leaned in to k!ssme but I st©pped him.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“I want to k!ssyou. I nee-d you right now Anna. The king is out in the battlefield, he’ll never know” he said desperately and I grinned.
“You’re supposed to be looking after the kingdom in his abs£nce but here you are trying to eat what belongs to your king” I tea-sed and he scoffed. He immediately gr@bb£d the t©p of ball go-wn, ripping it into two, ex-posing my round, full bosom. He got to work, k!ssing, su-cking and b!tt!g them, s£nding waves of plea-sure to my br@in.
“Undress” he ordered, unable to find his way throu-gh my big ball go-wn. I got up and slowly took off my clothes, just when I wanted to take off the inner wear, he gr@bb£d me and pounced on me as if he’s been S-x starved for years.

My heart wasn’t at rest, I didn’t want to go on this errand but at the same time, it could cost my life if I disobeyed. I made up my mind to tell Nadine about it. I went to the maid’s quarters but I didn’t see her, instead I saw the as-sistant chief maid, Violet.
Violet is a beautiful woman, she is married with one baby girl but yet she left them to serve the king here in the castle. She’s quiet and prefers to do her duties alone.
“Hi Violet, where is Nadine?” I asked.
“She left for the fields an hour ago with a few maids” She answered and I sighed in disappointment. The field is very far from the castle, and I’m not even allowed to leave the four walls of this castle. I can’t even remember the last time my feet t©uçhed gras-s and sand.
“I hope there’s no problem? You look disturbe-d” Violet said, calling me out from my thoughts. I shook my head.
“Everything is fine, I just wanted to see her” I replied and walked away, straight back to my room.
Maybe this is a sign from the universe that I should go on this journey to Hamelton. I wonder what lies for me there.
* * *
The sun had set and I knew it was time for me to go and meet princess Anna. I went to her chambers and she ushered me in. She sat on her be-d, wearing a white silk material. She was holding a black dress in her hands.
“Take this” she gave it to me and I took it from her.
“Wear it and get going immediately, there is no time. I want you to return here as early as possible tomorrow morning” she ordered and I bowed. I turned to leave but she called me back.
“One more thing, stay out of sight and get as much information as possible” she said and I nodded, bowed and left. I quic-kly wore the black dress and veil. Then I followed the back gate, where a guard was waiting for me.
“Are you the maid that princess Anna s£nt on a mission?” he asked. I guess she’s s£nding a guard with me because she doesn’t want me to run away. And I don’t think this guard knows it’s me, he probably thinks I’m a maid.
“Yes” I answered, changing my voice a little.
“Follow me quietly, don’t try to act smart” he said and I nodded. I entered a horse carriage and we went off.
About two hours later, we arrived at the border of Axel city and Hamelton village. I c@m£ down from the carriage and continued the journey on foot, with the guard trailing behind me.
We got close to the castle and st©pped.
“I will wait for you here, go in and do your job” the guard said to me and I nodded. I got very close to the castle but I could not get any more closer because the security was very ti-ght. There was a multitude of guards guarding the outside walls of the palace, there were also guards at the t©p.
“What do I do now? How do I find the easiest way into this castle?” I asked myself and sighed. I thought of running away but I looked back and saw the guard staring furiously at me. He had a gun with him and might shoot me if I run. I was still contemplating on what to do when I heard footsteps behind me.
“I have been waiting for you” a cracked voice said behind me and I froze.
