Diamant Slim Chance
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
Diamant Plotholes In The Poison Game
Why would Nana want to kill Aaron? Why would she want to kill her own grandson?Still, DL had been her own grandson too but this was different. Aaron was from Alec and Aaron was a good King. She paced around the small room. "Doctor Rika had been the one to prescribe the medicine to them. Except..." She stopped in her tracks. "Except if Doctor Rika and Nana had planned this together. Does that mean, Kara...?"Her breath became heavy with shock."And Clara...? The weakness! The fever!"She immediately packed the bottles into a bag and bolted out of her room. She had to see Aaron immediately.******************************"I feel better now, you should leave." He said resting on an elbow while he tried to sit up in his bed."But Aaron...?" She turned to him immediately, walking towards the side of the bed he was facing."Leave now, Aliyah. I don't want anyone seeing you here with me. Especially Diamant." "Is that the thank you I get for doing everything to save your life?" She folde
Diamant Sneaky Ways
Nana held the burning torch while she stared deadly at the beheaded body. The breeze blew faintly, allowing the strands of her red hair that had managed to escape from her tight bun get into her face. She threw the torch to the pyre and it caught fire immediately. The black smoke that erupted from the pyre forced her to take some steps back, she coughed incessantly till she could finally control it. Her eyes became watery but she continued to watch the smoke disappear into the soft breeze of the peaceful evening. She watched till all that was left were ashes where there used to be a head and a body. She watched for a long time before she was able to drag her feet that had now grown heavy from exhaustion along with her. She bent to the pyre then started putting the ashes into a vase. With the vase in her hand she turned into the woods. The leaves of the tall trees made a whooshing sound as the breeze blew them softly, some leaves fell to her cloth and on the path she took. She held th
Diamant Turn Of Events
His hand held her wrist in a tight grip and he looked at her with accusing bitter eyes. Her eyes gleamed with fear as she stared into the blackness of his own."Aaron, you are hurting me." She whimpered in pain. The closeness they shared compelling and painful."Because this is all your fault! If only I hadn't always blindly listened to you and your baseless accusations!""Baseless accusations?! You call that baseless accusations!" Her face was now mixed with anger. She intensified her struggle resulting to an increase in the noise of swishing cloth. Her attempt angered him and he reached for her second hand in a tight grip too."What else would you call the rubbish you had me believe! This is all your fault!""It isn't!" She could feel his fingernails digging into her skin. The heaviness of alcohol in the air swept pass her nose and her eyes widened. "Aaron, you are drunk! Let me go, you are hurting me.""I don't think it is a fraction of how you hurt me with how much you turn me dow
Diamant Pulling Strings
With his arm across his face, Li stare at the ceiling. He could hear the loud chatter of guards outside, the little insects making their usual noise at night, the slow burning of the wood in the fireplace that kept the little room warm and illuminated. He could hear almost everything with how silent his mind was. The loudest to him was the noisy breathing of the guard naked by his side as she cuddled close to him under the thin cover cloth covering away their nakedness.Then slowly his mind went stormy and his eyes went blurry with tears. He blinked it away, his eyes still focused on the ceiling.He just hoped that this sacrifice would be worth it.******************************Li entered the dungeon, his eyes casted to the ground. He mumbled to himself, then he looked at his sister who smiled feebly at him. The guard followed closely behind and when he was settled, she chained him back to his post. She smiled broadly at him then gave him a forehead kiss before disappearing into the
Diamant A Stagger From Oblivion
"I know." She whispered while she slipped to the ground. She didn't care for her gown while she sat on the floor, although they made a loud swishing and rumbling sound because of how big they were. She brought her knees up and rested on them her chin."I couldn't sleep last night, I haven't been able to sleep at all." She went silent for a while, too long that Lewis became worried. He almost turned to look at her, even if she was resting her back on the bars, he would at least be able to see if she was fine. He started moving but stopped when he heard her sniffle. She was crying.He gritted his teeth and said nothing. He had a feeling this was all going to be over soon, dragging his life along with it. How could it make it hurt less for her? Would pushing her away do it?"I stood angry at you for so long long, why had I done that?! I wish I hadn't done that." She broke into tears again. "Forgive me, Lewis. Please forgive me."It went silent again sve for Clara's soft sobbing."What

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
