Enchanting Illusions of Love

It is the eve of my brother’s wedding, as we arrive at the palace. He is to marry a princess and I being his only sibling, am beside him. I am much older than my brother and in fact have raised him since our parents died. We have a fifteen year age gap. We arrive at night in the rain and many people run out to escort us from the carriage. The palace is beautiful, old, and ancient if you ask me. It seems drafty.We flew a plane in and were driving in a car. However, we were stopped outside of town and asked to get into this carriage. A lady guides me to a room and my brother Fredrick was whisked away. The room is old, dusty and not fitting for the sister of the groom. However, I did not complain, After a long bumy ride in a carriage I fell asleep fully clothed. When morning came I felt itchy. I had bed bug bites all over my body. A servant came in and threw me some servant clothes to put on. My clothes were full of bed bugs so I put them on. “Excuse me.” I say to the servant. “Hurry we have to prepare breakfast for the King.” She says. “I would like to know what happened to my luggage.” I inquire. “While here you will wear our clothes.” “Where are my clothes?” “With your master.” “Why do I have to wear these clothes? Who exactly do you think my master is? “For a servant you sure do ask a lot of questions.If the King got wind of this you would get whipped or worse.” “Oh really, well I would like an audience with this King.” “Are you crazy servants can’t speak to the king like that.” “I am not a servant. I am the groom's sister.” “Sister? But… wait here.” Another lady came in and looks me over. She asks for the list from the carriage. Someone brought her an old looking scroll written in cursive writing. After looking at the document for a moment she calls someone in, a young man then she proceeds to beat him over the head. I stop her by grabbing her hand. “That’s enough I want to see my brother now!” I yelled. Some people fell back, shocked that I could get so loud. Then I heard a voice equally as abrasive as mine. “What the hell is going on in here.” He peered in the door with a sexy commanding Aura. I felt like I was living in the twilight zone or some medieval game play. “Where is my brother?” I ask the King, who was oddly dressed as if we lived in medieval times. If I was the type to laugh, I might have snickered. However, I am not the type and just stare stoically at his ridiculous outfit. We are living in the 21st Century and the castle seemed like a stage play. The king looks at me puzzled so Inform him of who I am. “I am Evelyn, the Grooms sister.” I say to him but he continues to stare. “I cannot find my luggage, they say my master has it. I tell them I am his sister not his servant and this maid beat this guy over the head. I stopped her and I yelled. I want to see my brother. I can’t allow this marriage to happened if this is how I am going to be treated.” He continues to stare and I get frustrated wanting to through something at the King’s head. “I just want a shower and I want to go home. Do you know you have bed bugs? “Bed bugs?” He finally replied and looks to the head maid. She says somethings in another language and he replies back in that unfamiliar language. “Ms Evelyn, follow me I will take you to get freshened up.” He takes me to a fancy room with a shower.He gives me a plastic bag Put those clothes in this plastic bag. There are towels and wash towels in the cabinet. Please wash your hair and your body thoroughly. I will have a room prepared for you and find you some clothes. He leaves and I shower. I take an extra long time because I am cleaning myself thoroughly like he instructed. I dry myself and walk out naked like I usually do at home. Only this time I wasn’t at home, I was in someone’s room. I walked out and he was there waiting. I found you a few items of clothing. “Are they bed bug free.” I inquire. “ Yes, I steamed them just in case.” He says. I look at the items he brought on a rolling rack. “Good, where is my brother?” “ As soon as you are dressed I will escort you down.” “Great now help me pick an outfit.” “Evelyn you do know that you are nude.” “Really, now I know you have seen your share of women. You are not a shy king, are you.” “Indeed I am not.” He smiles and winks at me. “Now lets get started. I think this one will look good on you.” “Um really I think not.” I threw the item to the side. We continued like this until there was no items left. “ Well it seems that there are no items left I guess I will go to breakfast in the nude.” “ You will do no such thing.” “Who are you my daddy?” “ No, I am the King.” “Mr. King you are no kin to me and have no authority over me. I would like my clothes and my brother. Please.” “ Put some clothes on now.” “Now or what?” “You don’t want to know what I am capable of.” “ Is that right. What are you capable of.” “He grabs me and brings me closer to him in order to speak without others hearing.” “I am capable of f*****g you into a stupor.” “ Don’t make promises you can’t keep.” “Woman you are trying my patients. “ He says in a loud voice. Grabbing and throwing something over me like I was a difficult child he had to get ready for school. “What about my undergarments.” I say. “Easy access never know when I may need to cash in the promise.” He exclaims while grabbing me and escorting me out to breakfast. I sit first then he brings my brother out. My brother sits with his fiance and we enjoy breakfast. When breakfast was over I try to speak with my brother but his fiance ushers him out fast. The king escorted me to my new room which was adjacent to his. I took off my clothes. I Examine the bed for bed bugs before I lay down.
