Ocean P. o.v
I screamed while falling to the ground in fears. I jerked away when I felt someone hand around me, I looked up with tears in my face only to see Ariadne, so I ran to her embrace while sobbing hard
“ He is there, he is there”, I kept saying, She looked in the direction and asked
“Who”,
“Alexandros”, I replied still crying hard
“Ocean there is no one there, there is no way he could have come here, he hates crescent kingdom so much that he would never come here,” Ariadne told me,
“believe me, I saw him, believe me please,”, I told her insisting that she believed me, but she seemed confused
“I believe you, just stop crying now, you are safe” she said
“he was there”, I kept insisting
“you can stay with me tonight, stop crying”
I got up and followed her to her room, It was beautiful and had drawing of her on the walls, She had knives laid out on the table, Ariadne is quite unusual. She helped me into the bed and joined me. I soon fall asleep and was glad I had a friend with me.
I opened my eyes the next day to an empty bed, Ariadne must be in the bath chamber since I could hear Lilian voice there. Then I remembered what happened, what more does that man want from me. Theseus still wants to kill me because he thinks I was planted by him, and Alexandros wants to kill me too. The princes are both crazy. I was pulled from my thoughts when I heard Lilian,
“ oh you are awake, how are you feeling?” she asked feeling concerned about last night
“am better, thank you” I said smiling
“Would you like to bathe here or in your chambers?” Lilian asked
“no please, I have done enough…” I said to her
“no you did not do anything wrong, and you will bathe here, Lilian get the tub ready” Ariadne said coming into the room, she looked beautiful as always, clad in men’s wear.
“Ariadne, you have done more than enough, I must not impose on you further” I said
“I insist ocean, I insist” Ariadne said, bathe and then we would have breakfast, after that we would begin our day,” she said smiling
“if you insist,” I said getting up, I bathe and we had breakfast in her room. I was most pleased by that since I would not have to sit beside Theseus. We packed some food, warm water mostly for me, and cloaks for the sightseeing. Ariadne seemed so happy about this that I begin to wonder if it was just sightseeing or something else. The cloak I had on had some fur on it and it was beautiful.
We set out in the snow and we were in the compound when we saw Theseus in the camp watching his men train. The camp was far behind but we could see it from where we stood. He had his back turned to us with Leonidas talking to him. But like he knew we were staring at him, I glanced back at us. I felt my breath hike just by his looks. He walked towards us immediately,
“you are heading out I see” Theseus said,
“yes brother, am taking ocean out to see the village and the wall, since she is here to stay and bear you children I figured she should know the village and the people”, Ariadne said
“ good, but when you return there are some matters we need to discuss” Theseus said,
“I understand, we should be on our way then”, Ariadne said nodding, she held my hand and we walked out through the gate, the guard at the gates acknowledge Ariadne. We walked out of the gates, walking through the road, soon we got to the market and went to different shops. Ariadne pointed at the mountain, explaining to me that the villagers worked there picking gems. The villager bowed at Ariadne and Lilian as we walked through the market. They are very lovely and peaceful people. Ariadne went took me to the jewelry shop and bought me many jewelries. She also had the seamstress make me more dresses.
I thanked her and she told the seamstress to bring the dresses to the castle when she is done. By the time we left the market, it was noon so we went under a tree in the snow and sat on some bench there to eat lunch. Lilian served us and we had some warm tea and biscuits. After we rested she took me to the wall and explained that Theseus put it up against the Barbarians. She explained everything about the war to me. I was content and happy by the time we went back to the castle. I was tired from all walk but was glad I could see the kingdom.
It was almost time for supper, so Ariadne asked me to bathe and change my dress. We meet outside her room and walked to the dining hall to have supper. Ariadne insisted that I sit in the high chair again, I hesitated because Theseus was already sited in his chair. Ariadne pulled me to the chair, pull it back and made me sit in the chair. Once I was sited there, she ordered Lilian to serve me, and insisted that I eat. I ate the food with shaking hands, while Lilian kept smiling at me and gesturing me to eat.
The plates were cleared after we were done eating, and we were served wine, I was playing with my cup when Theseus broke the silence
“the issue I spoke to you about earlier on is about the voyage, I need you to go back with the ship when it takes back the people to the city, I need you to go with the men so as to monitor them and the goods. We keep losing goods and I want you to find out who is stealing from me. I need Leonidas to stay here to help with the barbarian and the men else I would have sent him.” He said while I turned to him shocked, this has been his plan for some time now, now he would have the opportunity to kill me. He looked me in the eye and smirked… My breathing increased as I got frightened……
I picked up my cup to drink but ended up choking on it when I felt his hand on my thigh, I jerked up meeting his eyes. He glanced at me and smirked, soon I felt his hands on my skin. I stood up suddenly feeling unsettled,
“what happened,” Ariadne asked me
“nothing” I said, “am sleepy now, good night” I said walking out of the room almost running. I ran through the hallway and was almost at my bed chamber when I was pushed to the wall, I was going to scream when I felt a hand cover my mouth….i looked in the eye and know instantly that it is Theseus.
He smirked and pushed by legs apart while I was standing with my back to the wall, I keep trying to scream but I felt his hand under my chin pulling my face up to meet his lips, he kissed me wile biting down on my lower lips. Then I felt the sparks, feeling my body betray me as I responded to his kiss, I feel his hand on my skin then push up further until he touched my knee. Then he lifted me up standing between my leg while I was up on his waist. I feel the cold breeze on my legs and moaned when his hand went up to my breast, I moan when he touched the top of my breast that showed through the neckline. Then he stopped, he pulled his lip away, and I was gasping for air as it is my first kiss and been this intimate with a man. He looks calm for some time before dropping me to the ground. I feel my cheek heat up blushing, while he moved his mouth to my ear and whispered: w***e, just like I thought you are….
My hands flew to my mouth as I feel tears cloud my eyes, I started sobbing knowing my body betrayed me, I had the opportunity to scream but I chose to kiss him back. I look up and see him push away from me, then he said,
“soon Ariadne will be out of the way and I will get the truth out of you”, Be ready…. he disappeared after saying that. I break down on the ground crying hard. Now he will definitely kill me.
Theseus P.o.v
I woke up early the next day, bathe then set out to watch my men train, and continue to discuss some maters with Leonidas. My men were all shocked to see me in the camp before them but they all stated the training immediately. They trained for long time before I gave them break to have breakfast before giving them their different patrol points and shift. I always made sure to change the men every once in a while so they would not get too comfortable. I was still talking to Leonidas while watching the men fall back in line when I heard the brat going out towards the gates. I remembered she talked about taking the cunt out today, so they must be heading out right now. I turned and walked toward them to inform Ariadne that we needed to have a discussion when we got back. The cunt still seems frightened by my presence; she should be because I had bigger plans for her.
I went on with the arrangement and settled some local matters that was brought to the castle, as king I had to judge the matter. After which I had meetings with the men that were been at the post near the wall to have their reports on any sightings. After that meeting, lunch was served and I ate alone since Ariadne was still out with that girl. They returned some time before supper, I had to wait for them while they bathe and change their dresses. Typical women. I was talking to Leonidas when the cunt walked in, he smiled which was when I got the bad idea in my head.
Ariadne made the cunt sit beside me and insisted she eat, she did and I did too. I waited until we were served wine when I decided to play my trick on her. She is a w***e after all. I touched her and at one point she choked while Ariadne asked her what is wrong, she only got up and bid her good night. I waited a bit before following her too, I bid Ariadne good night then went out. I knew she must be close to her bed chambers by now so I teleported there and seduced her, at first she tried to scream but soon she stopped giving in to me. If I had want to bed her, I would have done it and she would let me do it. I then told her she is a w***e, then I teleported back to my room with a smirk on my face. Now all I have to do is wait, for Ariadne to leave.
The next morning, I woke up early again so as to supervise my men with the goods and the villagers. Ariadne was all dressed up and ready but I could see the cunt was not happy. She keeps clinging on to Ariadne telling her she will miss her. She refused to meet my gaze knowing full well I will only smirk at her. After some time, they were all ready to leave, but Ocean insisted she wants to go with Ariadne. I knew Ariadne would never let her go with her, since the voyage can be dangerous at times. Ariadne insisted that she would let Lilian stay back and keep an eye on her then she broke the bad news to everyone loud and clear including the villagers and kitchen people;
“listen everyone, this is your new queen since she has been chosen by the god to bear children your king and continue the emperor lineage. You will respect and protect her. She is your queen now. I was shocked to see my men and villagers fall to their knees to bow to her, they chanted….long live the Queen……. That cunt!
Alexandros P. o.v
I knew no one would believe that silly girl if she told them I was in her room, but I knew better and had better plans for her and every one of them. I teleport back to the witch place and had my men take her to my house while some others took her family with them. I threatened her, until she agreed to help me teleport again. I was pleased to see Ariadne leave. Now the silly girl is quite vulnerable and I will get my hands on her. I stood in the corner with a hooded cloak so I would not be noticed. I watched as they all bowed to her claiming her as their queen, that brat knew she is doing, now I cannot kill her in broad daylight, the people might see and defend her now that they know who she is.
Chosen by the gods, oh it is so funny, if only I let them be. The emperor lineage would not continue. I will make sure of it. I was about to turn back when I noticed someone by one of the window, I knew it is Lilian Ariadne trusted maid, she did not look pleased by the sight in front of her. I observed that she was looking at the silly girl with hatred while looking at Theseus with love. Oh now what do we have here!
