Diamant The Flaming Visit
"Nein was not around for the meeting. Nana, what was he doing? Was he sleeping with his countless harlots while getting drunk again?" Aaron asked and Nana's face twisted with hurt.She had come here with Aliyah for a different reason. Aliyah had told her about how Aaron had beat a certain man up because he had danced with her. She had come here to convince Aaron to marry Aliyah. She didn't trust Diamant and if Diamant became the Queen, she would lose power. But Aliyah, for her, was someone she could control. Wasn't she already blinded by the love she had for her Grandson?"I see. Once a spade, always a spade." Aaron said with spite to his father."I will see to it that he gets his work done. Don't worry, this won't affect the collection of the taxes." Nana tried to calm him down."You'd better." He relaxed and sat back on his throne."Well, I came here for a different reason." Nana said with a smile and Aliyah bowed her head coyly."What is it?" Aaron asked, his eyes questioning."We
Diamant Repeated Conspiracy
He laid her on the bed and she looked back at him tiredly. He tucked her into bed, the candles he had just lit allowing light in the room."I don't know what to say. You did so much to save me, Diamant." He said while he sat next to her on the bed.She swallowed hard and closed her eyes."I thought I would die." She said quietly and he place a hand on her forehead in a bid to comfort her. She was burning slightly."I think you are sick, Diamant. I will get Doctor Rika here as soon as possible." Aaron said and stood up but Diamant stopped him."No! I think I am just so scared and I feel a little odd with all that roaring." He looked at her trying to see if it was true and she gave him a convincing smile.He came back and sat next to her. His eyes filled with affection. This woman had done everything to make sure he stayed alive, even to the point of sacrificing herself. She could have left him all alone there but she did not. She stayed for him, she must love him without her notice. I
Diamant Proven Worthy
Nana stepped into the room with a tray of teacup. She placed it on the table while Diamant watched her suspiciously."Who is that for?" "You, of course." Nana scoffed."I don't want it. Who knows, you might have had it poisoned." Diamant said and turned to the other side of the bed, her back to Nana."That is a great choice but I didn't poison it. Still, I wished I had." Nana eyed the teacup with annoyance and marched out of the room.Someone ran into her the minute she closed the door."You should watch where you are going!" She shouted at the person."I am so sorry, Nana. I so sorry." The person hurriedly said while trying to reach for Diamant's door."Wait. You look like one of the dungeon guards. You are, aren't you? It is only the dungeon guards that dress the way you do." Nana pried."Nana, please I am here for something important. I promise that I am not doing anything wrong. I only came here to see the Mother." The guard said hurriedly."Well the Mother is sick and why should
Diamant A Little Off
"Sire, a dungeon guard has been found unconscious in the dungeon! Minister Li has escaped." Lewis reported breathing heavily.Aaron stood up angry. He paced in the room."Has he been attended to?" He asked deep in thought."Yes, Sire. He is with Doctor Rika as we speak."Good. Take me to the dungeon, I have to see it myself." Aaron ordered. "I hope you kept guards there so that no one would disrupt it's original state, I need to know how Minister Li escaped." He said walking to the door."Yes, Sire. I did." He said, hurrying to catch up with him.******************************After looking at the dungeon and seeing that struggle surely had taken place and Li had skillfully escaped from them, Aaron wanted to see Sanji. It baffled Aaron that Li could break away. It had been a long time since anyone escaped from the dungeons and this was a blow to him. Why had it been under his reign?When they got there Nana was just leaving. He didn't say a word to her, he had to see Sanji quickly.
Diamant An Unplanned Mess
Sanji fell from being pushed in the dungeon. The chains weighed him down and hugged his legs tightly. He hadn't even gotten a chance to hug his wife, to tell his son those tales that he liked.He looked at the bars and shook his head in sadness. He had done an act of kindness and here he was paying for it.He looked at the bars again. He was once the guard and now, he was the prisoner.******************************"How? How did this even happen?" Nana said, her little body shaking in rage. She moved closer to the bar.Sanji stood up and looked back at Nana, his eyes sad."Don't worry, I didn't implicate you. I told him I did it all. I told him that Minister Li manipulated me to set him free and I planned the whole setting." Sanji said.Nana sighed relieved."But why did you tell him anything at all?" He said moving closer to the bar.Sanji sat back down feeling drained. "He suspected about the chains." He said then explained how it had all happened.When he was done, Nana gritted
Diamant Necessary Casualty
Nana had to eat her lunch alone today. The maids cleaned up her plate and she dismissed them once again. She looked at the sunny sky through the big windows opposite her and it hurt her eyes but she couldn't stop staring, she hoped that looking like this would help her but when it didn't, she looked away. She had said there were a thousand ways to overcome an hurdle but she still hadn't come up with an idea to finally eliminate her grandson. At least she needed an idea that was sure to work.Then someone walked pass her to the kitchen in a hurry while greeting her, this drew her out of her thoughts and she waited for the person to pass again. When this happened, she stopped her."You must be Kara, Clara's maid. Is anything the matter? Why are you in so much a hurry?" Nana asked all at once."Nana, I just have to get tea to the Princess. Nothing is the matter." Kara smiled."Oh and may I ask, how is the princess?" "Nana, the Princess is getting better, at least she smiles these days
Diamant Week Hurdles
A bang to the bars and Kara jumped immediately out of fright, the chains catching her mid-air and slamming her right back to the ground."You better have a reason for doing what you did!" The cold voice forced her to look at the direction it was coming from and she recoiled into herself upon seeing Lewis's deadly glare."You won't get anything from me." She hissed.The dungeon was at it used to be. Dark, filled with stench and the maddening aura of death and despair."Do not force me to torture you. It isn't like you don't deserve it." Lewis said lowly to her as he paced slowly in front of the bars."Even if you do so, I will still say the same thing!"He rushed to the bars in full rage and slammed his fists against it again. This time she was ready, she didn't jump out of fear but stared coldly at him."The intent of poisoning is to kill, the reason and the action is together. How can you not see that, My Lord?""You wanted to kill Clara? How could you?! The Princess has been nothing
Diamant Real Side?
"Dear Princess, Living a life of servitude isn't what anyone would gladly pick but shall I fight destiny chosen by birth? Maybe I have told you that serving you was my dream, those were lies I wished I could believe. It gets tougher to serve when one desires another, even worse when this another is so close yet so far. Imagine not being able to speak out or stay with the one you dream of merely because of who you are, what is expected of you. I know you fully understand what that is like.Yes, I dreamt that one day I would be free and have my own family. What you don't know is that the one I desire is the one your heart chooses and as much as I helped you to accomplish your heart's wants my own heart broke. I thought helping you and repeating my purpose would stop my want. Still my love grows so much that I fear it will never die as I have presumed.My Princess, I am in love with your Lord. Your Lord Lewis, the very one you love with your whole heart, I love too!..."Lewis eyes widen

Unfree Freedom
As much as she wanted not to feel pity for him, there was a sense of unison in his grieve, a depth and pang of guilt that she could understood, one that she could also feel. She felt a tear run down her cheek, she didn't know if she was grieving for her pain or his."We have so much in common." He said looking down at her with a tinge of a distant smile before his eyes held a glint in them."Let us start again, Diamant. From the very beginning like all these never happened."She looked quietly at him as he brushed away her tears. Her eyes glinted with hope of survival and escape but his next words held something within them, something that held so much significance but could have almost been missed."Let us start from the very beginning, my woman. We have so much laid out for us, let us not ruin it. I forgive you for everything you have done, let us put it all behind us."His voice hit different strings in her. From a slow consideration to confusion, realization then silent rage.Forg

Memories of Raining Nights
Except for the clanking of the utensils against the plates, the silent whizzing of the fire in the fireplace and Aaron's unanswered questions that still hung in the air, the dinning room was silent. "Do you like the food?" He pressed his hand against his fork with slightly more pressure as he asked her again. His gaze were fixed on Diamant who sat by his right in a long blue dress. Her shoulders were tensed and she made sure that she stayed eating during this unwanted lunch so there would be no reason to have any conversation that he would likely force her to, which he was already doing.Aaron watched her closely, his eyes slinted with observation, "you are doing this on purpose."She took a goblet of water and drank before rushing back to her food.He muttered something harshly to himself under his breath before taking another bite of his food.He was tired of this. It had been over a week and although she ate well now and gave no trouble, it was like she had decided to act like he

Sneaky Old Ways
He spoke against her neck while he pushed her legs apart with his own, his hand slowly went beneath her back, crashing her to him. She moaned a little at the sudden movement, reaching her hands up his neck.He knew it all, where to touch that would get the best reaction. Old ways were sneaky, they always found a way to creep back into a person's very being. Old ways were dangerous.Her legs hurt, she wanted so badly to take off her heels but even now in the midst of her crazy emotion, she knew the basis rule and followed it as always.Beauty was pain, and she was beautiful."And it isn't for you either. What kind of mess have you found your self, Naturella?"She moved up for him to kiss her. There was so much urgency for her to feel wanted, needed... loved."You talk too much, Hector."She felt his firm hands pulled up her gown by the slits, a cold breeze blew her legs letting her know how exposed she was and she felt the roughness of his trousers against her bare thighs."It was st

Too Many Quick Flashes
Like a beating heart ripped away from its duty, snapped suddenly during its pumping yet pumping still, his heart feel heavy and filled with pain. Pain that he couldn't describe. He felt lost, miserable and without a sense of direction. Nein's heart felt totally hallow...void. The woman he had trusted all his life, loved and respected had turned against him and wanted to seize the life of the one he had brought to the world, one that he loved even though he knew he would never get loved in return.Maybe he deserved it, like his mother said.Mother...?He chuckled weakly then he coughed, dry long coughs that erupted through his chest each time, threatening to tear him apart.Could he call her that? A mother? He could still see her burning on the cross in his mind and everytime he remembered, grieve seized him. As much as he hated what he discovered, he couldn't help but remember how she had protected him with her life at all cost, how she had risked her life all the time to come and se

Hands Getting Out Of Hands
Blinded by an unexplainable rage, Aaron tightened his fists on Malik's neck till suddenly he pushed him out of his grip. Malik's hands went up his neck, glad to be free while he stepped quickly away from Aaron. He focused on his breathing like he was trying to get all the breath he couldn't get before.After a while, he looked up at Aaron then he saw his shaking hands and he gasped lightly. Aaron heard him and snapped his face to him, his eyes sending warnings that even Malik's swollen eyes could see.They stayed like that for a while in silence before Aaron sat on the ground exhausted. It wasn't until then that he felt his hand bleeding and aching from Malik's previous struggle to survive."You...""Don't say it," Aaron said breaking his sentence short. Malik slowly sat next to him."It's getting worse," he whispered, his voice laced with concern."I have it under control.""You almost killed me!"Aaron scoffed, "but I didn't..." he muttered to himself then pointed at the sword dug a

The Good Old Way?
The meeting didn't go well, not one bit. Some tribe leaders had taken it upon themselves to be absent, in a way to show their displeasure of how he was ruling.Or maybe it was about the rumour...the one he had killed a long time ago. Was it suddenly gaining strength again?No! Absolutely not! He had put an end to it. It can't be the rumour.This was supposed to be their first meeting, one that should have been held a long time ago. Only the leader of the fire tribe and his wife had been present, even Skull Dwelling hadn't sent a representative. Those gang of crimimals!Although he had expected that would happen, the people from Skull Dwelling were rugged and highly daring. They were doing all their appointed duties just fine, one can't get a lot of taxes from places like that but it was a great source of labour. They weren't ones for a talk around a table and they made that clear.He ended the meeting, furious. How bad could the morning get?!Too much things were happening. He was

New Shade, Old Shade.
"I hate seeing you like this, I really hate seeing you hurting." He said with concern and a flash of anger in his voice, then he rested on one of the pillars around the bed, his eyes still on her."What is so wrong in you loving me? I really don't ask for much, you know? Just stop running away from me and accept your place by my side." His left hand shook slightly and he quickly grabbed it in the other, blinking furiously before his face went back to its relaxed state again.She tried to say something again and his attention was fully back on her. His eyes lit in excitement and he stepped forward taking off the gag from her mouth. She sighed in relief once the cloth was off her mouth. He stood there, his face set inches away from hers, waiting for what she had to say. Then suddenly, She spat in his face, conveying all she thought of him in that one act.He straightened himself up slowly, reached for an handkerchief and wiped his face clean with it. Surprisingly, he didn't take any of

A Different Shade Of Him
He whispered something to a guard next to him, his eyes still fixed on Diamant while he spoke. The guard soon left in a hurry. Aaron walked down the short stairs slowly not taking his eyes off her for a moment. The wind blew softly and he shuddered lightly from cold, drawing his robe closer to him.She pushed her captive away from her grip roughly. He fell to the floor, stood up immediately and scurried away from her with his sword and armour clanking loudly.She felt wild and furious. She took quick angry strides to Aaron who was now down the stairs and watching her with a silent smile just like a predator waiting patiently for his prey that was walking foolishly walking into his trap."How long?!" She was breathing heavily from anger, her lips trembling slightly in rage.He looked around to see how much attention they now had. His face was blank and his eyes looked confused, feigning ignorance."How long what?""Don't you dare lie to me, your Majesty!" She snapped at him and a slow

Layers Of Surprise
Aaron closed the door then went to the bathroom pushing the door opened to see a quivering Aliyah on the wet floor while tears streamed down her face. Her face twitched in pain. He stepped in and he saw her visibly go stiff.He scoffed before crouching before her and pulling her slowly to her feet so that they were both standing. She felt weak in his hands like she could fall if he wasn't holding her and she felt...hot.She must be sick.He squinted his eyes at her, then he noticed the now turned red cloth wrapped around her upper left arm and he gave a sharp short hiss.Aliyah flinched."You are sick, aren't you? You shouldn't have come," he said with a gruff before leading her to the room which she followed along without a fight. He made her sit on the bed then fetched a bowl of clean water attending to her cut.She relaxed a bit, her gaze fixed on the floor. She had stopped sobbing now."You are always doing this... demanding," he said quietly.She heard him squeeze the cloth into
