"You will have to get something from Ivory's palace for me." Violeta looked up at the man who changed her life forever.  "What is it you need from that forsaken place?" Satan leaned into Violeta. "I want you to get a goblet for me." He whispered at Violeta's ears, burning her cheek on the process. Satan grabbed Violeta by the shoulder and released his fiery breath on her skin. "Get that goblet and come back here in one piece. Then you can go home with your family. Understand?" Violeta nodded and Satan let her go. "Go now and get my goblet!" With his strength, he threw Violeta out of his room. Violeta groaned when her back hit the hard wall, cracking her bones in the process. She sat still for a minute to heal. Violeta stood up and went to the weapons room to get the things she needs. The Constantine palace was not a place she can think lightly. We have to be careful at all times and be aware of our surrounding. Violeta knew this will be the hardest mission she will ever encounter. The queen was known to be the most merciless and ruthless ruler of all. No prisoner nor trespasser will be left alive within her palace ground. She's such a secretive royalty that's for sure. She never went to any Royal gathering. It's safe to say no one ever saw her. They only heard stories. Stories how beautiful and graceful the queen once was. Dark stories about how the queen never gave any chance for her traitors and so on. Violeta reached for custom made golden sword that her grandmother, queen Thana gave for her birthday. She traced the engraved words on the sword and smiled a little. "For she will be the greatest of them all.." She whispered. She misses her family. She misses how Hyra and her adopted brothers would barge in her room and woke her up every morning. She misses how her mothers would give her a morning kiss everyday day for good luck. Violeta wiped the little tears that kept forming in her eyes and kept her sword in its scabbard. She straps them on her waist and reached for her tri-dagger, the most lethal weapon satan's blacksmiths ever created. "Tick tock... Tick tock...." Satan whispered in Violeta's mind. All those years, he simply controls her mind. Violeta sighed and grabbed her headdress before walked out of the weapons room. She whistled for Legend the horse and went to Constantine Palace... *** "Shhhh...." Violeta whispered to her horse and released him in the dark forest. Violeta immediately covered herself behind a tree when she heard heavy footstep nearby. "I swear I saw a horse went in here somewhere..." A deep-voiced man said. Violeta turned sideways a little bit and looked at the guards.  "The queen will be very angry if we let anyone free.." Another man said. "Wait.." The deep voice man said. He began to sniff the air for foreign scent. Violeta whispered something under her breath and a little ball of fire suddenly appeared on her hand. "Someone burning something. Let's check it out." Both the guards walked away. Violeta released a relief sigh and make sure the coast was clear before covering her nose and mouth. Swiftly she walked towards the heavily guarded palace. Her eyes wander every nooks, corners and part of the palace like a hawk. If someone found her wandering around, she will be death for sure. When she heard snickering coming from the opposite direction, she quickly turned to the huge pillar and moved sideways to cover herself from being seen. Violeta smirked when she found the Royal vault room. Using her vampiric hearing, she sighed when she heard a very loud conversation going on inside the vault. "Fuck." She said and looked around the vast hallways. She looked up to the ceiling and smiled when her eyes landed on a hole at the wall above the vault room. She stepped on the wall and swiftly walked on the wall towards the hole. Her eyes work like night vision as she crawled inside the dark hole. Her eyes caught a light source and she looked down. She counted how many guards inside the Royal vault and smiled. She can take them all in one swift move. She slowly pulled her sword out of its scabbard and took a deep breath.  "Let's dance boys.." She whispered and stepped on the thin layer of rock. She jumped on top of a guard and killed him instantly. "INTRUDER!! SOUND THE ALARM!!" One of them shouted. Violeta threw her dagger through his mouth and it went through without any hesitation. More guards barged in the vault room and Violeta knows its only a matter of time before the whole palace awakened and informed about her unannounced arrival. She needs to work fast. Using her vampiric speed, she stabbed, sliced, pierced every guard in her path to the goblet. Satan trained her well. Her combat skill was magnificent. She dodged every attack that was thrown at her. She killed every man and woman who's on her way to the precious treasure. As she reached for the goblet, a chain stopped her from getting to it. She turned to see a woman with sly smiled. The woman pulled her hard and Violeta fell on the hard floor. "GET HER NOW!" The woman commanded. Immediately, a group of guards try to restraint Violeta. She managed to push every guard from touching her. Violeta turned to the goblet again and grabbed it. This time the woman with chains threw her chains around Violeta's neck, wrapping it hard. Another chain being thrown and it wrapped around her waist and arms. Violeta struggling under the chains and the woman smirked.  "You're very determined..." The woman walked towards Violeta and with her knife, she tears her mask off. "My my... What beautiful maiden.." The guards chuckled.  "Let's torture this damsel and then we'll present her to the queen." The guards cheer and dragged Violeta to the dungeon. Violeta turned her head to the goblet again. "You disappoint me.." Satan whispered and Violeta sighed. Now she knows she's in big trouble. Not even these people can top what Satan had planned for Violeta. *** A couple of guards bound Violeta body on the wall. They all took turn torturing the princess with all their might. Chains clinging, whips slashing, hot metal being burned just for the thief. But again, none of these things scared her. Satan's torture has been brutal. And it's worst than this. A guard reached for a chain and began to hit Violeta's body repeatedly. They all laughed as Violeta kept her eyes closed from the impact. The excruciating pain is bearable. Another guard took the hot metal from the fire pit and hit Violeta across the chest. Her eyes shot open, mouth ajar, trying to breathe again. These tortures repeatedly being held until Violeta was too weak to heal properly. Bloods dripping from her fresh wound, making the hounds crave for more blood. The woman from before enters the room. Her laughed filled the room and motioned for the guards to let her go.  "Let's meet the queen shall we.." She said and the guards dragged Violeta's body towards the Royal throne room. Violeta was too weak. She can't even walk on her own. The guards dragged her badly beaten body as the woman opened the Royal throne door. Violeta weakly looked up when she heard the door being opened. She looked straight to the throne. The queen's advisor all chuckled and laughed as they dragged the thief inside. The guards threw Violeta at the foot of the Royal throne stairs and bow to the queen. *** Ivory watched as her guards came in her throne room and dragged a beaten vampire towards her. She turned left and listened to her advisor.  "This vampire was caught trying to steal your goblet, your majesty." Ivory turned to the vampire again when the guards threw her body at the stairs. Ivory stood up and walked gracefully down the stairs. The advisors watched as this beautiful and gorgeous queen walked towards the criminal. "Make her kneel." The guards bow and grabbed Violeta by the shoulder. They forced her to kneel and Violeta looked down. The queen now has the full view of her badly beaten body. Ivory was admiring Violeta's abs and muscles for a little bit before asked the guards to lift her head. "Who are you?" Ivory asked. Violeta didn't respond. Ivory went closer and kicked Violeta by the stomach, sending her flying back. "WHO DARES TO STEAL FROM ME!" The guards went to drag Violeta towards the queen again. One of the Ivory advisors present her sword and she grabbed it. Ivory let go of the Royal cloak and walked across the room to where Violeta was. The advisors watched as the queen walked gracefully with her wavy black hair bounce in sync as she walked. Ivory was getting ready to stab the thief when Violeta looked up to the majesty. Just like that, the queen stopped and as if she's in trance, she dropped her sword. Everyone was curious about what just happen. They just witnessed their strong leader dropped her own sword in front of a thief. The next thing Ivory did, made one of the advisors immediately went to her side. The queen just kneels and put both hands on Violeta's bantered face.  "My queen... What are you doing?" Ivory didn't say anything. She just looked into Violeta's eyes and smiled a little. "Release her.," Ivory ordered. The guards were hesitant. But the queen looked at her guards and glared. They both quickly unchained the thief and bow down. "Prepare my bed for her." By now everyone gasped. "But your majesty... She's a thief." Ivory face her advisors. "She's my mate." Ivory turned to Violeta again. She smiled.  "I finally found my other half. And I just kick her..." Violeta didn't know what to say or do at the moment. She knows her time will come when her true love appears but this is ridiculous. There's no way someone like a queen could be her mate. She's not that lucky in life. Hell, she has no luck at all. "I'm sorry for what my guards had done." Ivory apologise. Now the Royal advisors positive the thief was her mate. She never apologises before. She never says thank you even. The advisors sighed and nodded at the maids.  "Prepare the majesty bed for her mate. Also, prepare some first aid kit for the wounds." The maids nodded and proceed to do her chores. The advisor was about to go when his eyes caught on something on Violeta's neck.  "By all means sire... Her necklace.." Ivory turned her gaze to Violeta's neck. "She's a princess herself... That's an Akeldama crest. Only a Royal member can have those." Violeta sighed. She hasn't heard that name for so long. She misses her family more than ever now. "You're an Akeldama? The great Akeldama?" Ivory asked. Violeta shakes her head. "I'm Violeta of Amador. Princess Voltaria's daughter." Everyone in the room gasped. "You're the daughter of the Echidna slayer?!" One of the advisors asked. Violeta nodded.  "Well, your majesty. You just landed yourself a maiden from a very respected family." Ivory smiled. She helped Violeta up and put her hands over Violeta's shoulder. Instantly Violeta felt a very unfamiliar tingling feeling. She turned to the queen and wonder was it from her touch. "We will continue this later," Ivory announced at her advisors. A woman went to open the door and it's the woman who chains her.  "I'm sorry for what I had done." She apologises and bows. Violeta nodded and Ivory leads her to her Royal chamber. *** Ivory carefully placed badly beaten Violeta on her bed. She went to the first aid kit and went back to Violeta. "You need to let those clothes off." She said. Violeta nodded. She knew even if she says no, the queen will force her.  "Why do you want to steal from me?" Ivory asked as she cleaned the fresh wound on her mate's body. "It's a direct order from Satan." Ivory looked at Violeta weirdly and laughed.  "That's funny. You're such a kidder."  "I'm not joking. I'm his slave." Ivory shaking her head. "You're a princess. Why would you be his slave?" Violeta flinched when Ivory pressed on her wound too hard. Ivory looked at her apologetically.  "I have a contract with him. That's why." "Contract?" Violeta bites her lower lips so she wouldn't scream from the pain. "Y-es.... I pro-mise him if he co-uld bring back my m-om to life... I'll be his s-lave.." Violeta struggled to say her words out. Ivory looked at her mate with a smile on her face. She began to put on the bandage on her treated wounds. "All done. You can rest now. For that goblet, you can have it." Ivory said and went to clean her hands on the bathroom. Violeta lay down carefully and released a deep sighed when her back hit the most comfortable bed she ever felt in years. As she slowly closing her eyes, she heard a soft voice from Ivory. "I have a question.." Violeta opened her eyes.  "You're a vampire. How come your wound didn't heal properly?" Ivory went to sit next to Violeta. "I haven't feed for a while." Ivory leaned it and looked into Violeta's eyes.  "You can feed on me if you want." Violeta lifted her mate's black hair that's blocking her face. She shakes her head. "There's no need for that. Normal blood is fine. If that's alright." Ivory nodded. She went to ring the bell and minutes later, a maid came to her door. "Fresh blood for me and my mate." The maid nodded. Ivory closed the door and went to Violeta again.  "You mention you work for Satan am I right?" Violeta nodded. "So he wants you to steal my goblet?" Again Violeta nodded.  "I don't know why but that's what he said to me." Ivory began to laugh.  "I killed my own brother just to get the throne and now he's back for more..." Violeta doesn't know what to say. Did she kill her own brother? Just for a stupid throne?  "Well, you can have that goblet. It may be golden but it was made from my brother's bones." Ivory chuckled. "Let the devil have fun with it right.." She's twisted. That's for sure. For such a beautiful woman, she's quite scary. Violeta shakes the thought. She has her own reason to be the way she is. She's no one to judge the queen. "Anyway... Do you need to go back to that man?" Violeta slowly nodded.  "Okay. I'll ask the maids to get the goblet." "You just gave it to me without a fight?" Ivory nodded. "What's mine is yours."  "How can you be so sure I am your mate? I'm not worthy of you. I'm a slave. I'm not a full Royal blooded." Ivory touched Violeta's hand. And again that tingling feeling suddenly washed over her.  "You feel that, didn't you? That's how I'm sure you're destined to be with me. Every touch, every feeling every brush of our skin. It made the butterflies in my stomach exploded." Ivory went to caressed Violeta's cheek.  "And that's what my mother used to say. Whenever we found someone that makes us feel we never felt before, that means that's our half that will complete us." "And before you asked where my parents are, they both died. Killed by my brother. He's one of the most vicious and greedy men in this realm." Ivory smiled. A knocked on the door startled them and the maids entered with a tray that carried two glasses on fresh blood.  "Regain your strength back and then you can go to him. But you need to tell me before you go." Violeta nodded and took a sipped.  "I need to be a queen for now. Rest up. You can use the clothes in my closet." Ivory went to kissed Violeta's forehead when she stopped her. "I'm dirty your highness." Ivory removed Violeta's hand.  "I don't care." Ivory leaned in and immediately Violeta feel at ease. She never feels so much. Love gesture after leaving home. "See you later.." Ivory took a sipped of the blood and walked out. Violeta watched as her mate disappeared by the door and closed it. She drank the blood and lay down again. Slowly her tired body just relaxes and let her sleep comfortably after years and years of slavery work.
