A pond.
"Where's she?"
He mumbled, looking around. He didn't have to look too far away, 'twasnt like the previous day where he was in the heart of a stadium and the audience were seated on elevated spots. Now, he was standing at the edge of a plank, before a pond, and just few inches away from him were few selected audience to enjoy the show.
He had been told by the king after the previous test that all he had to do was swim through the pond to the other end and pick the gem hung on a peg whose tip stood out.
But knowing that he couldn't trust the words of the king, he had gone to seek the help of the sorceress, Shamaica. Even though that was what he'd hated the most. He had pleaded with her to do whatever she could to help him swim through the pond without getting hurt. Shamaica had told him that nothing goes for nothing. He'd asked her for what she would ask for in return, but she'd told him,
"Time's testing it."
Although, he knew that Sha
The Stadium."Fight!!!"The resounding voice of Wealene tipped off the wild ecstasy of the crowd who cheered heartily, chanting continuously for the fight to begin.Kie's interest was severed by the constant call and was forced to look away from Samantha to his opponent. His last chat with Samantha earlier this morning played back.|--------------------"Why are you doing this?"Kie asked, keeping an ambiguous expression."Do I have to keep explaining to you? I thought you were smart. Didn't know I would have to spell the words out, one after the other."Samantha dared, maintaining the lackadaisical attitude. He moved closer to her and was ready to hold when she continued,"Today. You'll meet him. The man that makes my heart sway."She took two steps back and cautiously spun around before he would touch her. She hurried away."Stop. Stop there."He called continuously but it all fell on deaf hears.
An enclosed Area. "What do you think you are doing?" Samantha yelled, letting go of him. He retorted, "Do you love him?" She scoffed, pushing the down of her gown to a side. "And why should I explain my emotions to you? Who do you think you are?" He looked away from her. He could hear faint noises in the distance. He knew that twas just the matter of time before someone got to them. He grabbed her left wrist suddenly, there was desperation and urgency pacing his face, "Stop making me seem like a freak. Like I don't have self-respect. How could you say you love him, you barely even know him!" "And I've known you since forever? Oh, I forgot. We graduated from the school of dumbness and freak-show together." He grabbed her face suddenly and pulled her very close to himself. She shuddered under his touch, his frame towering over hers and the urgency of his touch sent shrills down her spine. His eyes were qui
Kie and Malisa"Leave us."The princess ordered the guards who had escorted Kie into her chamber. And as soon as the guards left, she took him in her gaze. She was seated in the bed, wearing an undergarment that revealed her cleavages; a great deal of her mounds."Look who we have here."She teased, her face housing a silly smile. Kie on the other hand kept a straight face as he began to undress himself.The smile on the princess' face was tucked in immediately he removed his tunic trousers to reveal his cock. The second time.Her eyes widened, and a quick lump paced her throat. Her heartbeats accelerated, she couldn't hide the excitement corrupted by shock."What are you doing?"She wasn't sure if that was the right question, because her bulging eyes could hardly leave his cock. She struggled to look at his face but was distracted again by a sudden movement below.Her eyes strayed again to see his fisted right hand givi
The Next Day."What's this occasion?"Wealene walked out of his chamber, preceeded by guards. As he got to the throne and settled down, his attention couldn't but fall on the numerous women who had just bowed before him. His eyes did some quirky acrobatic and the number he got was fifteen.Jaith hurried to the throne and fell on his knees at the appropriated space from the throne. As soon as he raised his head,"His Greatness. This women would not leave until they've spoken to you. And not only would they pass the night here until you're up, but they wouldn't even tell me what their concerns are. They would have it said before you His Greatness"Wealene nodded his head at all the women,"Arise women, and tell me what bothers make you bother the crown."One of the women, dressed in purple flowing gown, stood up suddenly, and took few steps forward, walking past the position Jaith was. Jaith called,"A step back woman. Know your
Malisa and Elonaise"How have you been fairing?"Malisa asked the 6"2 part aged, part young man. Her father, Elonaise. He has white hair due to aging and gray eyes that grows sadder by the day, thinking of his wife. His gait is still like that of a reassured man. Worry seem to do nothing to his figure other than his weary eyes and lines that dances across his forehead. His worry for his daughter grows by day. That she might not become like her mother in the end."Staying where I was put."Elonaise answered with his neck bent towards the table, his eyes keen on the needle which was dancing out of and in a small sackcloth.His weary yet lively pupils held up her gaze as he for a moment, tossed his neck in her direction."Hope you are."That question seemed familiar to her as she walked to where he was and sat next to him. He was seated on a bench that was positioned abreast an old Neem table."Have you been eating well, and takin
Kie and Elonaise"Are you the prince to be?"Elonaise asked, without raising his head. His back bent forward to the table as he busied himself with the needle and Malisa's gown."Yes, sire."Kie strode in, still trying to get Samantha off his mind. What happened earlier kept replaying in sundry versions.Elonaise raised his head and tilted his neck a degree off the table, he looked back at his work too quickly as he muttered,"You can drop the material on the table. I'll be done with it in four days. Say to the king that works have me tied, but I'll have my way around this as soon as possible."Kie walked to the table and dropped the material wrapped in a fine linen. His eyes strayed to a traditional sewing machine at the corner of the small room.There was scarcely anything of interest there. Just the work chair and table, a small bed to the extreme, a place of arts and some random other things. But of all things, the place sm
~The Princess and her maid~"Do you still like him?"Malisa asked, turning slightly to Samantha who was seating next to her. Shocked, and too slow to hide it, Samantha spun too quickly around with such curious cum mysterious gaze.Malisa pushed a sequence of air through her nostrils."Don't lie to me."She probed. Sam looked to the endless greenery and smirked. They were seated in a plain garden far from the palace, a place bought by King Wealene for sightseeing. 'Twas by the road and almost every passersby could be seen in an eyeshot.The only thing which made the place special, was the defined geographic setting. 'Twas like a lawn, a seventy five square yard, bordered by different types of flowers, ranging from cyclamen, Poppy, Pansy, Bluebell, to some flowers Wealene ordered from Asian countries."I thought I did, but I was lying to myself."Samantha finally found her words. Malisa nudged,"You were disappointed? Beca
One week to the Royal Wedding.~Kie and Samantha~"Let go of me!"Samantha snapped, trying to snatch her left arm from Kie who held dearly unto it."Please talk to me."Not only in his words, but there was plea in his eyes too. His face soft and demanding."I said let go of me, right now. Somebody might see us. Don't you use your brain at all?"Kie scoffed,"Do you think I care whether or not we are caught? It's been almost three months now and you wouldn't talk about what happened between you and Malisa. Should you be the one giving me an attitude or vice versa?"She sneered,"And why should I explain myself to you? Wait, who do you really think you are, Kie?! If you're so called tough as you claim, why do you keep hanging around the princess. Why didn't you question her and probably leave her if you are so much vexed. Why are you taking it out on me? Because I am a maid?"His hand slipped from her wrist s
