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
Diamant Unravel
He blenched loudly and Lewis looked away irritated. It took everything in him to stay patient for the prisoner to hungrily gobble his food till the plate was clean."What did you see?" He asked impatiently as Sanji took a large gulp from the leaking cup."Once the sweet lady was gone they just forgot me." Sanji said absentmindedly. That was true, it looked like whosever was supposed to be here forgot to do his/her job, still that wasn't why he was there. If Sanji had been here the whole time then he could be able to tell him somethings."What did you see?" He asked stressing each word this time."Will you guarantee my safety if they come for me? It is only a matter of time, they will know." He sounded terrified."They..?""Yes, the twins!" The light in the dungeon wasn't much, still Lewis could see Sanji's eyes widened in maddening fear."What twins...?"Sanji gave a shaky breath and tried to run his hands through his hair but it felt so heavy with the chains weighing them down."I h
Diamant Another Stain To The Imperfect
Lewis stepped into his stable, the neighing of horses filled the air. He would have to be fast with the issue of the twin so that he could call back the men who took care of the horses.He walked to where he had the twin tied up and something immediately felt wrong. The window to the room was broken.The tray of food in his hand fell to the floor, he hurriedly went to where the twin should be. He knew what he would see but he hoped with all his heart that it wouldn't be true.He found the place empty and the ropes loose. He stumped his foot against the ground in anger, his heart beating wildly as his palms became sweaty.Someone must have known about his plans or maybe it was just the other that had come to rescue his brother. Either ways, he wasn't safe any longer. Yet, he could still try his luck and push through with his plans of exposing Nana because the more he lingered, the higher the tendency of his danger.But he needed a prove!He turn different options in his mind.

Rika who was lost in thought didn't hear her. He still wanted to know how she swang it all in her favour."But how? How did you..."She turned to him. Seeing his confusion, she immediately understood his question."Meeting an empty hideout was enough suspicion. I knew something was off and the only person I suspected was Lewis, so I immediately had him followed. The Twin had earlier reported that his brother was missing, that even made me suspect Lewis more. When I came back to the Palace, I discovered that Malik had been the one to capture them and they had refused to speak. Fate was just on my side." She reached out for goblet and started pouring wine into it."I convinced them all that they would have to accuse Lewis or else the sacrifice will not be worth it. They were immediately ready to lay down their lives for Alusa." She threw her head back in laughter and Rika squinted his eyes in confusion as he collected the goblet of wine she offered."And as for Sanji, it was too easy!"
Diamant A Jittering Flaw
They looked at her almost immediately she walked in. Sanji was the first to jump to his feet, the fear in his eyes still obvious."My son! Where is my son?!" He stumbled to the floor then stood up quickly again."You have done your part, of course, I would do mine." He dropped to the floor slowly then drew his kneels up his chin, tears streamed down his face. He muttered inaudible words to himself through clattering teeth.Nana looked down at Lewis who laid flat on the floor. "He is the one I want in another dungeon. He is causing too much trouble." She snarled and immediately two guards opened the gates. They picked up Lewis who weakly almost stumbled on his own feet, his eyes droopping every now and then.When they got close to Nana, he immediately sprung away from their grip, he crashed into her and she fell to the ground with a scream. Her perfect gown ruined as a result of its contact with the stinky floor. Their grip immediately found him again, kicks against his stomach made h
Diamant Ticking Poison Bomb
She bit her lips in guilt before closing her eyes briefly and nodding her head."Maybe I overdid it, I am sorry.""Maybe...?" He mocked.She sucked in a long deep breath."I overdid it, I am sorry. Yet you can't totally blame me, you betrayed him, Lewis. He was going to change!" Her shoulders grew tense as she defended herself."I did it for us, I did it so that we can be together, Clara! What part of that do you not understand?!" His eyes misted with tears. "And everyday I regretted it, you pushed me away for something that I selflessly did. Didn't you ever think that it was painful for me to betray Goben? Still, I did it! I did it for us, for you!"Her resistance finally broke and tears streamed down her face."But you broke us. Because of him? Because of a man that would throw you into the dungeon without thinking twice, a man that gave you hell. Yet I am the bad one merely because he was 'changing'.""Changing...?" He laughed humourlessly."I am sorry, Lewis. I was just so angry t

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
