A TALE OF DARK LUST 29
ISABELLE’S POVI don’t know how much time has passed with me being here in the dungeon. I cannot see anything in the darkness and this has started to creep me out. Now I have even started to imagine things like a table and some other things as well. I think I have reached the level of insanity. A normal person never imagines things that are not present. Maybe if I become insane then the king forgives me.Sometimes, when I open my eyes, I see different colors. I even saw another me at some point but I know all these are illusions. My mind is playing games with me because of the darkness. I did not move from where I was sitting. I was too afraid too. At some point, I thought a ghost would appear.The temperature suddenly dropped. I started to feel cold. I don’t know how this happened. I even rubbed my arms and feet to feel warm but nothing helped. Now my body has become numb just like my mind. I stopped feeling things. I just hope soon the king comes and takes me out. I have promised my

ISABELLE’S POV I look towards the garden. No one is here like always. I am now sure that this is that part of the garden which no one ever visits. There are beautiful flowers here. There are some flowers which I have never seen before. Flowers of every color like orange, purple, yellow, and green are present here. The only thing that annoys me is that it is empty. Why is this garden so empty? I don’t know the answer to this. It is empty just like my heart and life. This thought saddens me. I feel loneliness, emptiness, and sadness inside my heart. These are the only things which I am feeling nowadays. My heart feels deserted now. Sometimes I feel like I am in a desert alone. I have no one with me whom I can call family. There is no one here with whom I can share what I feel and what my heart desires. It feels like a long time ago when I felt happiness. Now even the word happy feels so foreign to me. True happiness has become an illusion now. I wonder where my happy days got lost? Wh

ISABELLE’S POV I was looking around when I suddenly remembered what I had been thinking about. I have been thinking about something for quite some days. I am so bored because I have nothing to do so I want something to occupy my mind. I want something which helps to take my mind off stupid things and thoughts. There is something I want and I know only the king can give me permission for this but I don’t know how to ask him about this. I fear that he might get angry. There are chances that he refuses too. I don’t care if he refuses or gets angry but I will ask him. “My king, there is something about which I want to talk with you. I have been thinking about it for some days but I was scared to talk with you about this?” I say with slight hesitation. I am not sure what his reaction will be. “You don’t have to be scared of me. You can ask and talk with me about whatever you want. Is it something that you want?” The king asks me. How did he know that I wanted something? Is it possible

ERIC’S POV I look towards the bracelet. I pick it up and examine the worn-out threads. I think I should give it back to Isabelle. It seemed special to her. It is special for me only because it belongs to Isabelle but why is it special for her? It must be given by someone she loved like some family member. She wanted it. I could see it in her eyes. I cannot forget the way her eyes sparkled when she saw it. She was looking at it with so much love as if many memories of hers are linked with it. If it is this special for her then I think I should give it to her. I cannot let her go back to her village but I can give this bracelet to her. I know this reminds her of her village and maybe that is the reason she values it so much. She will be happy to have it back. I cannot wait to see that smile on her face when I give it to her. I have seen visible changes in Isabelle since the day I left her in the dungeon. I never wanted to hurt Isabelle and it was never in my mind to put her in t

ISABELLE’S POV I moan loudly as the king continues to thrust inside me. I roam my hands on his back. “Ahh… Plea-se”. I moan. My mind is unable to think anything because of so much pleasure. He takes my nipple in his mouth and sucks making me arch my back. Just when I was going to reach my climax, he slowed down his pace. “Tell me, Isabelle, that you are mine. Say it”. The king orders. “I am-m yours”. My words are incoherent because of the pleasure. His slow pace but long thrusts is not giving me time to think. Just when I say these words, he pushes himself inside me with such a force that I climax. After a few more thrusts he releases himself inside me. We both are breathing heavily. He lays on top of me and takes my lips in a deep kiss. He then lay beside me. My breathing has still not become normal. I put my head on the king’s chest and he wrapped his arm around me. His hand is on my stomach and he is making circles with his fingers. I feel tingles whenever he does this. He p

ISABELLE’S POV “I have arranged everything for your escape, Isabelle. You wanted freedom and now you will be free”. She tells me. I stop walking and look at her with shock. For a moment, I thought I heard wrong. I analyze her face and see only sincerity. I don’t think she is kidding me. She is looking so serious at this moment. “But why would you do that? You were against this then why are you helping me to escape?”. I ask her, shocked. It is too hard for me to believe what she is saying. She always told me that escape is not an option and I should accept that I cannot go back then why is she helping me to escape? I remember her words. Whenever I cried and told her that I wanted to escape, she would quiet me. What changed her mind? What convinced her to help me in escaping? Why is she helping me now? She stops walking but does not turn around to look at me. What is she thinking? “You need to tell me everything, Ivy. You are confusing me. I am getting worried. I will not go till yo

ISABELLE’S POV I could not believe what my eyes are seeing. This is not possible. Now I get it. This all was a dream because he cannot be here. I blink my eyes repeatedly but he is still standing in front of me. I did not wake up. It means this is reality. How can this be possible? How can he be here? Is fate playing with me again? It did not take me even a second to recognize him. How can I forget him? He can't be here. Why is he here in this palace? I thought Robert had escaped with the other villagers then how is he here? Only he is the one who can answer my questions. He has not looked my way even once. He is busy talking with Ivy. “Robert! What are you doing here?” I ask him and gain his attention. He looks toward me and his eyes become wide with surprise. He did not know that I was here. He is as shocked as I am to see him here. I did not know that I was going to meet him. I had thought that I would never be able to meet him again. “Belle, is this you?”. He asks me unsure. I

ISABELLE’S POV Suddenly the cart stops and I become worried. Why did it stop? We can't reach the town so soon. From what I remember, the town is quite far from the palace. What made the man stop the cart? I pray to God that it starts moving again. “Why have you not opened the gates? You seem to be new here. Open the gates so that we can go”. I hear the man’s voice. The gates did not open? Why? This means that we are still within the palace’s boundary. “I am not new. I am Barden, the head of all the soldiers who are appointed for the security of the palace’s boundary. The king has given me this position before leaving. The gates will not open unless we have checked the carts”. The man whose name is Barden speaks loudly. His voice held authority and he seemed a pretty serious man. The thing which terrified me was his words. He will not open the gates without checking. If he does the checking then he will find me. The king will never forgive me for this. I will not be able to leave th

A TALE OF DARK LUST EPILOGUE PART 2
ISABELLE’S POV “How do you know that I am a queen?”. I ask her in a loud voice. She is still looking down at something in her hands. “I know everything”. These are the only words she says in her old voice. I was looking at her unable to understand anything when Elise pulled my arm a little. “Belle, I think we should leave”. She says to me close to my ear so that the elderly woman does not listen. Her voice was not above a whisper. “Wait a moment, Elise”. I put my hand on her hand and said to her. I take a few steps toward the table. Suddenly the old woman looked up at me. She is looking at me with her big wrinkled gray eyes. There is something in her eyes that I am unable to understand. She has an indescribable aura around her that screams I know everything. “Hmm… I see”. She looks toward me and says to herself. What does she mean by this? “What do you see?”. I ask her with confusion. She stands up and then takes weak and slow steps towards me. I don’t move back because then sh

ISABELLE’S POVI look at myself in the mirror. I am looking so beautiful today. The dress made by Edith is so beautiful that I am unable to take my eyes off of it. It is a sleeveless white dress and it has pearls stitched on it. It shows my back a little. My hair is tied on my back with fancy pins.“The king will be so much pleased to see you like this”. Edith says to me as she stands behind me and looks at me from the mirror. I smile. I don’t know if he will be pleased or not. He is still angry at me for escaping from the palace. The king did not talk with me since we arrived. He neither called me nor came to meet me.I am sure he is still angry at me and he is punishing me with his silence or maybe he is thinking of ways to punish me. I hope he has forgiven me. I don’t want to endure any more pain. I want us to be happy now. There are two to three maids here who are getting me ready. Elise is one of them.“Now let's put on the veil and the tiara”. Edith's voice brings me out of my t
A TALE OF DARK LUST 61
ISABELLE’S POVWe enter the palace’s boundary. Soldiers immediately bow upon seeing the king. Barden also joins them. It is early in the morning that’s why I think Barden is here. The sun has risen not so long ago.“Welcome back, my king, my lady”. Barden greets us. The king nods while I don’t say anything. I have nothing to say to him or any other person. The king did not talk with me throughout the journey. I also did not say anything to him. I never thought that I would confess my love to the king like this, like a vulnerable person. I look towards the palace and the flags of the Alsair Kingdom. I think it is the first time that I am not feeling sadness for coming to the palace. I am feeling like I am not the same person anymore. This palace for the first time does not look like a big cage to me. It does not look the same. I feel like everything has changed.The king stops the horse in front of the palace entrance. He climbs down the horse and then helps me in climbing down. He d

ISABELLE’S POV I visit the fields, and the market but nothing is there like before. The fields have disappeared like they never existed. My village where there was hustle and bustle every time is deserted. Where did my family go? Are they dead? No, I should not think like this. They cannot be dead. I return to the place where my home used to be. I sit on a big rock in front of my burnt house and continue to look at it. I used to live here with my family but everything has changed. I have changed and this village has changed too. How can a lively village become so deserted? The day changed into the night but I did not move from the place where I am sitting. My thoughts are killing me from the inside. I am unable to understand where my family is. I am unable to understand what sin I have done in my life that I am getting punished like this. Now darkness is surrounding me. This darkness does not scare me because I am in my village, which once used to be my home. Now, where should I g

ISABELLE’S POV “Wake up, young lady. We have reached”. A hand on my shoulder and a stern voice wakes me up. I open my eyes and look towards the man in whose cart I was traveling. I rub my eyes and straighten up a little. “Ladies nowadays are so weird. It is the middle of the day and you are sleeping. Wake up! I have to take these carts to the next village before sunset”. He again says rudely. The warm sunshine falling on me makes me realize that it is a day now. I slept through the whole journey. I get out of the cart and take my things with me. My legs feel so weak because of sitting for so long. When we left Lumina town, I had bandaged my arm again after applying the liquid. We took only two short breaks in a village to take something to eat and to use the bathroom. When the night had arrived and the darkness had spread around me, I was not able to stop myself from sleeping anymore. “Thank you”. I thank him and he makes a rude face in return. “Because of you, now my horse is so

ERIC’S POV “Stop this bullshit and tell me Where is she”. I ask her angrily. Isabelle must have told her about this. She shares everything with her. It is not possible that she made a plan to escape and did not discuss it with Ivy. She must have shared it with her. There are chances that Ivy helped her in her plan. “I don’t know, my king”. She replies in a low voice. Her hands are trembling. Either it is because of fear or the fact that she is lying. “How you don't know? You are the head of the harem and I had ordered you to keep an eye on her then how did she escape?”. I ask her angrily and grip her neck in a strong grip. She starts crying. “My king, I-I think she escaped from the west-t part of the palace. Have you given her the k-keys?” She asks me fearfully. Her words gain my attention. I became suspicious. How does she know about the keys? How does she know that Isabelle asked me for the keys? This means only one thing. She knew about it. I leave her neck and take out my
A TALE OF DARK LUST 57
ERIC’S POV I enter the harem and start going towards my dove’s room. Half of the day has passed so she must be awake by now. Last night, when I called her to my room, Ivy told me that she has a mild fever and that's why she cannot come. I thought about sending a physician for her but Ivy told me that Isabel said there is no need for the physician and she will be fine by morning as it is just a mild fever. I wanted to visit her last night but Ivy told me that she has slept now. I did not want to disturb her so then I decided to visit her in the morning. I hope she is fine now because if she is not then I will call the physician. Our wedding is going to be in four days and she has got a fever at such an important time. I hope it was just a mild fever as said by Belle because if she is seriously sick then I will have to delay the wedding. I don’t want to delay the wedding because of any reason. That's why Belle will have to be fine by then. I enter her room and find it empty. There is
A TALE OF DARK LUST 56
ISABELLE’S POV “Yes, yes”. I quickly lie because this is the only way to get out of this alive. “Soldiers, lower down your swords. The king had ordered a few days back to let the slave go alive if she succeeds in getting out of the maze”. He tells the other soldiers and I breathe a sigh of relief. A smile appears on my face. “You can go. I have never seen any slave getting out of the maze alive in my sixty years. You are the first one to get out of the maze. You can go as per the king's orders”. He tells me and I quickly stand up. This is my chance to leave and I should be away from these soldiers as soon as possible. Suddenly I remember that I don’t have any water and I am thirsty. In fear, I had forgotten about my thirst. My throat has become as dry as a desert. “Can I get some water, please?”. I ask the soldier who seems like a good man. He nods. “Lucas, bring her some water”. He orders one of the soldiers and he goes to bring the water. “Can you tell me where am I? What i
