Thread: The Princess's Servant (Emmi-Mae and Frelance)

Henry had faked being angry that the princess was not a virgin anymore and had even hinted at backing out. He had spent the two days following his rape and the banishment of Cursen thinking of how he could exploit the situation as much as possible. So it was not surprise to him when the King had offered to have them married within the month. Henry had pretended to think it over for a day before he had agreed and sent runners back to his home land. In the weeks following up to the wedding he made plans for how he could control his wife even more. This was not helped by the other men he had invited who made it clear that his frame of mind was the norm. The night of their wedding Henry was no less brutal as he took her for a second time. Then next morning he had one of his servant wake him up before any of her servants arrived so that when they came he told them personally that they would no longer be allowed to be around the Princess. After that he had made no attempt to hide what he was doing to Kalona at least to her servants. At first he had clothing made that would cover her throat and hide the bruises his fingers left there. But soon enough the King seemed to be coming around to his way of thinking and Henry started to think of new ways to restrict his wifes movements or sensations while she is not in the bed. Tonight he would take full control over the kingdom and he would not have to manipulate people to get things done. As Kalona walked into the thrown Henry spied her and watched her carefully. He would punish her if she did anything he thought would harm his child. She had lost to many children already and if she lost this one she may not survive one of their nights play. When she spoke he just smiled with just a hint of his cruel nature. Yes, it does not help the child so you do not need it. He rested his hand on her stomach while his other hand rested on her shoulder and he caressed the side of her neck where he knew it was sensitive from the rope he had tied around her neck. Now just be good and we both can get some rest after the ceremony. He smiled at her knowing that he would rest but if she slept at all it would not be restful and would only cause her to be in more pain when she woke up. Henry turned his attention away from her and to the Priest would was starting the ceremony. Cursen stood in the tree line watching the castle walls as the last rays of the sun retreated across the sky. It seemed like a life time ago that he had lived inside those ways. It may not have been a life time but as he had been told it was another life. Most of his memories were so dull it was hard to make any sense of them. It felt like he had been blind in those days but not now. He tore his eyes from the walls and watched as the three riders headed for the castle. In a few hours they would either have a new home or they would be taking one. He watched the rides for a bit longer before he went back into the forest. He chose one of the girls that they had caught earlier in the past few days. As he sat down near the fire with the girl trembling in his lap he slowly ran his fingers through her hair while his mind wandered. He had survived for almost month hunting the animals in a forest that ran along the border of the kingdom when one wild boar caught his arm as he went to slit its throat. He felt the bone in his arm snap but was able to scramble away from the animal before it was able to strike out at him again. The wound got infected and it was only blind luck that he was found by a band of traveling Gypsies. They saved his life and when they offered him a place with them he accepted. They headed east and were attacked some months later by a clan of vampires that had been watching them for a few days. Cursen among a few others were not drained but turned instead. Now that clan was looking to stack a claim and Cursen knew of a valley that was surrounded by mountains and only have three passes that aloud entrance to it which is why they had traveled back to his home. The clan had decided they would try to buy the land before taking it by force since they only numbered thirty and if the surrounding kings banned together there was no way the clan would survive . As Cursen thought about this the girl had relaxed in his arms but had not stopped shivering from the touch of his cold hands. Shh, they will feel warmer in a moment. He brushed her hair back exposing her neck then leaned down and kissed it a few times before he extended his fangs and bit down sinking his fangs into her neck and started to feed as he ran his hands over her body hitting all her pleasure points as tapped into her memories. When the ceremony and Henry was not the king the three riders arrived at the castle saying that they came to see the king on behalf of the kings that lived in the jungle of the east. It was not unheard of for this to happen but it only happened once or twice in the lifetime of a king. After a few moments of discussion the three dismounted and followed a servant into the castle.
