Johanna was normally up early every morning dressed in the finest clothing, make up flawless and her hair was styled fresh daily. This morning was different. After receiving her punishment yesterday she refused to be in her husband's presence for the rest of the evening. When it was time for Turro to go bed, Johanna wasn't waiting for him the way she normally would be and refused his request when he sent for her. That earned her another punishment, which he dragged out throughout the entire night, because he felt like she still needed to be reminded of her position. When the light was turned on Johanna pulled the covers over her head rolled over. She let out a loud sob because of the pain she felt. "Here, let me help you." Aubrey (her personal helper and also one of Turros concubines). Aubrey pulled the covers back and gently help Johanna to sit up. "I'm gonna run you a bath." She told her and reached over to the side table and grabbed the cup of tea that was made to help with soreness. Johanna accepted the cup without a word and sipped it slowly. She let out a sigh as all the memories came flooding back from last night. She had been so exhausted that she just went to sleep in the large bed instead of going back to her room. There a knock at the door, but she ignored it. If it was her husband he would come in whether she answered or not. Anyone else could wait. She was completely naked anyway and was not able to rush to put something on. Aubrey peeked her head out from the connecting bathroom. "Is there someone at the door?" Johanna simply nodded and continued sipping her tea. The young woman hurried to the door and open it a crack so she could talk to whoever it was without exposing the queen. "Yes, she has just woken up and is not decent right now. Tell the king she needs to bathe and will be with him soon." At the mention of Turros title her shoulders tensed and her nose flared.
Aubrey closed and locked the door making her way over to the large bed to help Johanna. "Let me set your tea aside and I'll give it back once your in the tub." Johanna handed her the cup and waited for her to help. She took a deep breath and accepted Aubrey's help getting down onto the step stool and walking into the bathroom. Her whole ached and her light skin has bruises all over. His hand printed on her arms from when he slammed her into the wall. There were bruises on both her wrist and ankles from struggling against the restraints. His fingerprints remained on her hips, shoulders, neck, thighs and ass showing evidence of the way he roughly handled her. Her back ached and it felt like her vaginal opening was swollen shut. She dreaded using the bathroom. Peeing wasn't an issue, it was wiping afterwards that was so uncomfortable. After she relieved herself Aubrey helped her step into the tub. "Ssssss....uuuu." The temperature was very hot, but she needed it that way to relax her muscles. Once she was sitting, she could fell the epson salt rubbing her skin. "Thank you Aubrey, you can go now." Johanna said closing her eyes and resting against the large plush bath pillow. The pillow was specially designed the cover the entire back part of the tub, so that she would be comfortable while she soaked. Aubrey hesitated "Um...given what took place last night I think it would be best if I stayed to help you bathe. I don't think it would be wise to keep the king waiting too long this morning." The was a long silence while Johanna thought about what she had said. Taking a deep breath she answered "Your right, I shouldn't keep him waiting.
After her bath Johanna went into her bedroom where she picked out her outfit for the day. It was way too hot wear a turtle neck and pants like she preferred to cover up her bruises. She chose powder pink blouse and a khaki pencil skirt with nude stilettos. To mask the bruises on her neck, wrist and ankles she picked a tight choker that cover the majority of her slender neck and matching ankle bands. They had a lot of small charms that hung from them that matched the pattern in her skirt. On her right wrist she put on several bracelets and a watch with a thick band for her left wrist. Aubrey helped her apply her makeup and do her hair. she styled it with a side bang in front a messy bun at the top and her long waves hung down her back. When she was finally pleased with her overall look she joined her husband in thier private dining room that was located on same level as thier bedrooms. "My King." Johanna's voice was horse as she addressed her husband and stood in front of him. Turro looked from his morning papers and reached his hand out to grab hers. She flinched on instinct, but stayed still allowed him to do as he wanted. He saw the many bracelets on her wrists, but it didn't completely hide the evidence of her punishment. Taking in her appearance, he swallowed the guilt that was in the back of his mind and kissed the back of her hand as he did every morning. "Sit" He instructed her softly. She quickly did as instructed and was immediately served her cup of coffee. "Please" she said quietly grabbing the woman's hand. Johanna had to clear her throat "I would prefer tea with honey and lemon." The woman smiled at her and nodded her head taking her cup away. While she waited for the tea her breakfast was brought out. "So...what are your plans for today Johanna?" looking up to meet his stare she cleared her throat. "My intentions were to accompany Kahuna and question the two that were locked yesterday." Turro raised his eyebrows "Not without consulting with you at first. I was going to discuss it with you last...." Turro didn't give off any emotion in his facial expressions, and his stare did not waver. "I see." He commented simply and ate a forkful of his food. "Would you care to share the maddening inner workings of your brain with me?" He asked without looking up from his plate. Johanna clenched her jaw and bit her bottom lip to keep from saying something that would put her back in the hit seat. "Well I do believe the man was in a desperate situation from what I've learned of his friends and wife. I had recently lost his job and was trying to feed his family." She paused when the tea was placed in front of her. She quickly sipped it greatful for the immediate relief it gave her sore throat. "I assume that is not the end of the story" Turro commented while he watched her sip her tea. Johanna was aware that her husband had never been a patient man, but she needed to moisten her throat to continue the conversation. So she put the tea cup down and gulped down half of her glass of water. "I apologize, my throat is extremely sore. However to answer your question, no that's not the end. His pregnant wife came to his defense and your son was love struck." Turros eyebrows creased at her statement and frown formed on her face. "You couldn't possibly be crazy enough to try to have me consider agreeing to let my son choose a pregnant woman as his wife." Johanna shook her head no "I was considering offering them a proposition. in return for thier daughter we could provide for thier family, that Jei would never have to stoop so low as trying a life a crime again." There was silence. Johanna studied the many emotions that ran across Turros face. Her husband was a very intelligent man so she was sure that he would catch on soon enough. She sipped her tea and patiently waited. "Have you discussed this with our son?" Johanna bit her lip "Well.....I don't exactly think he'll be thrilled of the idea. especially knowing he would have to wait for 21yrs before he is able to claim his wife. However I think it would be the best decision for him. We could train her to be the perfect wife." Turro smiled as her plan unfolded in his mind. "For once I wholeheartedly agree with you concerning my son."
