Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"You can't force anyone to love you or lend you money." ~ Jewish Proverb.
- It was confirmed, Lucia was pregnant with the Prince's heir. Khris had taken her to his aunt a well experienced midwife, they told her all the symptoms she had been having.She then asked her to strip off her clothing and lay down so she could examine her. She laid her hands on either side of Lucia's belly, her sides were slowly curving into a little bumb. She was two months pregnant. A part of her felt happy, a part for her felt sad. A part of her couldn't wait to tell Alexius, a part of her was petrified to see his reaction. When they returned home, Khris told her it would be all okay, he would never abandon her. she had decided she would go to the royal palace and tell Alexius the news. She didn't expect him to marry her but that's what they would expect him to do. She just wanted to tell him that she was expecting, then she would leave-
leave to God knows that was an idle plan.Bidding goodbye to her neighbor and bestfriend Khris, she open the door only to stumble back with fear, her Aunt awaited her.
"Afternoon, Aunty." Lucia said trying not to panic.
"Where are you coming from ?" She said going straight to the point.
"Uhm- Khris and I had went for a swim by-by-by the river." She fiddled with her fingers becoming nervous.
"How many times have i told you that you and that boy aren't kids anymore. You are old enough to bed each other. These secret meetings need to stop." She sighed looking at her niece suspiciously. She had been vomiting lately, every morning or so as Kyra had told her. Something was definitely wrong with her... could it be that boy so called best friend had already taken her to bed.
"Is Khristian the father ?" Aunt Gloria questioned, leaving Lucia aghast. Her heart started beating fast, she felt her legs go weak, air running out as she tried to think. Her eyes wanted to water with tears, these hormones were already acting up.
"The father of ?" She replied earning a hard clap from her aunt. Tears escaped from each eye.
"Do you think I'm stupid ?" her aunt yelled.
"Aunty Gloria, I never said a word." Lucia sobbed.
"You are pregnant." Her Aunty said staring directly at her now bloodshot eyes. "Who is the father of that bastard child ?" She questioned.
"Aunty, I'm not pregna-" she was immediately cut off by a slap to her cheek, it left a mark. Her Aunt absolutely hated liars more than anything or she just needed a reason to treat Lucia badly.
"I'm sorry Aunty, I'm sorry for disappointing you... I'm sorry." She hiccupped, a wave of guilt had hit her.
"Your mother left you here with nothing, I clothe you, i give shelter, i give you everything necessary to be an admirable person and this is how you repay me, Lucia ?" Her aunt questioned.
"It's the Prince." She told her aunt, again her aunt slapped her for being a lying filth. It couldn't be, she could never have been in the Prince's presence looking like that, not even for a second would Prince Alexius Nikoloudis II spare her a glance.
"I do not apreaciate people who tell falsehood, especially from you." She gasped trying to get a grip of what her niece had said.
"It's the Prince, i swear Aunty... I wouldn't tell falsehood especially not to you Aunty." Lucia argued, tears flowing from hers eyes like Niagara Falls. Laughter filled the room as Gloria's daughter convulsed at the lies her cousin was telling.
"The Prince with you of all people, Lucia you dream too much." Kyra chortled.
-
Gloria dragged her niece to the palace, she didn't care if she was pregnant as she furiously hit her from time to time on their way there. Her eyes were bloodshot from crying, she didn't know why this had been happening to her maybe meeting Alexius wasn't a blessing after all... Lucia thought as her aunt pushed her forward.Her aunt explained their reason for visiting the palace. The guards lead them to the main entrance where the King was talking to the crowd of the people of Acamas. Gloria saw this as an opportunity to embarrass Lucia infront of all the commuters and as for her to gain attention. She had specifically choosen to take her niece to the palace on a Wednesday because she knew the King was holding a gathering with his people and the Prince would be present.
"Your highness, my niece claims the Prince made her pregnant." Gloria spoke out when the King had given her a chance to speak. The crowd gasped clearly shocked by the news. Prince Alexius Nikoloudis II was sitting right beside his father with his crown intact when he saw Lucia crying her eyes out. Although the King and Prince were on the Balcony, they could see the young lady and her Aunt infront of the crowd. A part of him broke, watching her cry in pain like that. She looked at him with hope that he would defend her and make it all end.
His father looked at him with disappointment. "Son is this true ?" the King questioned. Prince Alexius didn't want to disappoint his father so he said the unexpected.
"It's all false." Prince stared straight into his father's eyes.
"I have never laid my eyes on this girl in my entire existence, father." Prince added.
"Very well." The King said thoughtfully. "You have to be punished for having spread falsehood on my son's name but I do sympathize with you considering you are with child."
All the people of Acamas had been watching, as this had been done infront of all the people. Everyone was in stitches of laughter after the Prince had denied the allegations. Lucia knew right there and there that her life was doomed and above all she was a fool.

"Marriage is not a ritual or an end. It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together and nothing matters more than your own sense of balance and your choice of partner." ~ Amy Bloom.-Things only seemed to get worse for Lucia, her chores accumulated. Her Aunt did not care if she was pregnant or not. Lucia had to wash all the blankets as well as all the laundry. She didn't complain nit after how Alexius had used her as a pawn in his own game. She didn't want to see him again. She had to protect her child at all costs, she needed to look for a job. Her Aunt had said she would not accommodate bastard kids in her house. She continued saying she had already raise Lucia the bastard child, she wasn't going to raise Lucia's bastard child as well. Kyra on the other hand was due to get married to the archduke of the Royal Palace. Kyra had mentioned that they had been seeing each other for a few months, her mother could not have been more prouder always making sure to tell Lucia how much of a
Royal Fuckery Chapter seven : Royal Apologies
"Love and a cough cannot be hid." ~ George Herbert.-"My Prince, i would like to apologise for lying on your name. You are an admirable man and I apologise for having done what I did." Lucia said gloomily, she couldn't look into his eyes, they held only bad memories such as when she was moaning his name beneath his chest as she looked at those sapphire blue eyes. She wished if only there was a way she could forget about their two weeks of nothing but lies."Son ?" The King questioned at the Prince who seemed lost at thought. "Uh it's okay, you are forgiven." He said."Well then Khristian and Lucia, you have my blessings to get married." The King ruled. Khristian gave Lucia a smile, The Prince couldn't help but sneer. Once the bestfriends had made it home, Lucia told Khristian she was going for a swim to clear her mind. She was only three months and a half. Her belly bumb was now visible. She walked alone there with her hair tied into a pony tail. The dress she wore outlined her pre

"Love is acceptance. When you love someone . . . . you take them into your heart, and that is surely why it hurts so much when we lose someone we love, because we lose a last of ourselves." ~ Andrew.-Her nails dug deep on his bare back, in need of his attention. He was ferocious. She moaned with ecstacy when he slammed into her without any mercy. They had been going at it for almost thirty minutes, he still couldn't reach his high. She had already reached her climax twice, it didn't feel the same. "Oh, yes my Prince." She moaned at the feel of their bodies entwined. Her voice turned him off. Her voice irked him beyond anything. He closed his eyes, imagining her sweet face, her bright forest green eyes looking at him as he took her on the grass. Her green eyes harmonized the colour of the green grass and green leafs around them. Her blonde hair sprawled all over the green grass. She gave him a sweet smile, he could feel himself almost reaching his climax just at the thought of her.
Royal Fuckery Chapter nine : Royal orders
"Life is full of obstacle illusions." ~ Grant Frazier.-In the mist of all the sorrow and hurt, Lucia was happy.. a tad bit happy. Kyra getting married was indeed a blessing after all. Aunt Gloria smiled more, genuinely smiled more and laughed more. She wasn't so hard on Lucia. "I have a wedding to prepare for my soon to be dutchess of Acamas." She would say. Lucia loved seeing her cousin all smiles, she had moved into the royal palace a week back. Aunt Gloria could not have been anymore proud. The King had requested that the wedding that of archduke Elias and Kyra would have to wait until after Prince Alexius Nikoloudis II and Princess Amelia Joséphine Guilloux had taken place. A part of Lucia broke but it didn't matter, none of this mattered as soon as her bundle of joy is born they will move far far away..."Lucia, i don't understand why you didn't intend on telling me that your childhood friend had impregnated you ?" She paused. "Before I had humiliated myself at the palace." She

"Many men know how to flatter, few men know how to praise." ~ Greek Proverb.-He walked back and fourth in his room, expecting her. He didn't know what he would say to her or where to began ? She probably hated him but he loved her, loves her ; present tense. "Sire-" someone interrupted."Yes ?" He said expectedly."Your guest is here." The guard said. "Bring her up." He ordered and they nodded. Lucia was angry, she was mad as a hatter, she was raging with anger, beyond ill-tempered. Who did he think he was ? ordering her around. What did he want from her ? she thought. These hormones were definitely adding fuel to her raging fire. She was adamant on getting him off her back for good. He was promised to Princess Amelia and him requesting her presence at the palace. People in her neighborhood would always start a conversation. This would create gossip and banters all around. Lucia feared coming into the Kings Presence but to her surprise he wasn't there. Princess Amelia was not ar

-"Love is blind, marriage is an eye opener." ~ Pauline Thomason.-Time has a funny way of slowing down when we are in pain and flies faster when we are happy and having the time of our lives. Lucia was driven by anger and hurt maybe because a small tiny bitsy hoped she wouldn't have to marry Khris even though she knew how genuine he was. A tiny part hoped Alexius would climb onto a big strong white horse and ask for her hand in marriage. Kiss her endlessly and tell her he loves her... she didn't love him, she thought. She couldn't, Lucia hated him, she loathed every single atom on his body... this drove her to want to prove him wrong. To never need anything from him, never ever have to need him. He thought he was the centre of Lucia's world, he was at first but everything changed. Her child was now the centre of her world and nothing else other than that.Khristian and Lucia got married in the courthouse, his mother was present as witness. She had told him everything that had transp

They were having breakfast, luckily The Prince had arrived at the huge table earlier than everyone else, he couldn't sleep especially with his fiancée's brunette hair in his face. They weren't allowed to sleep in the same rooms as yet but Princess Amelia was as stubborn as mule, she wanted cling onto him every chance she got. Princess Amelia was what the Prince called pig headed. He was trying to see the best of this situation, he had taken Princess Amelia to the palace beautiful gardens. He thought getting to know the woman whom he would marry was a good idea but he lost interest as soon as she started blabbering about her pet chihuahua whom she missed dearly and two older brothers and her mother the Queen of France as well as her father who passed away when she was nine. For a moment he felt pity for her but all he could think ab

Do nut treat him like a fragile egg, Please try your best to act like nothing occurred." Elias said addressing the palace staff.t"Archduke Elias,The Prince is awake and he has requested... I get his horse ready." One of the servants from the Prince's wing said in a worried tone. He didn't want to take any orders that would lead into the future King hurting himself. "Don't let him out of his quarters." Elias instructed. "As of now, he will have his lunch and dinner there-" The servants nodded. "You're dismissed." "Elias, what's wrong with Prince Alexius ?" Princess Amelia said out of the blue as the servants scurried off. She looked scared stiff."Nothing to worry about, the Prince is perfectly fine." Elias assured her with a mile."Does he do that very often ?" She questioned clearly concerned for her safety."Not necessarily."

Prince Liberto Nikoloudis raced towards the dining hall, with so much excitement it was undeniable that someone seemed to be very happy. The twelve year old boy, yes boy, Queen Lucia had yet again given birth to a third boy. Making Princess Elisabet the one and only daddy's Princess. She absolutely prided herself in being the only girl amongst the three male siblings. Prince Liberto had sandy blonde hair and alluring grey eyes, which made him very different from the rest of his siblings. No one in his family had grey eyes but his grandpa Demetre had once told him that, his great grandfather the late King of Greece had grey eyes and he had certainly taken after him. Taking the family's gift of height, he was one handsome lad who would later break hearts. The name Liberto has came along because he was conceived during the time of Acamas and Greece reuniting. There was a lot of joy and happiness at the time amongst the citizens. In English Liberto was translated Liberty meaning... 'the

Queen Lucia was finally back home, in Greece. Everything was just moving smoothly over five months had passed since Elias passing. She sighed, breathing in when her dress was abruptly tightened too tight. She had tried it on just a week before. "Milady, you seemed to have gained a tad bit of weight." One of the Royal maids informed her, undoing the ties at the back. Lucia heaved a sigh seating down on the leather cushioned stool matching the interior design of her massive master bedroom that she now shared with the soon to be King Alexius Nikoloudis II. "I don't understand." She whined. Larrissa, Lukas wife then immediately smiled widely at her sister inlaw."We can always make an adjustment, the wedding is only two weeks away.." the second chambermaid said softly. Suddenly the third chambermaid giggled making the two other maids laugh including Larrissa who sat on the opposite side of the room holding her cup of tea."Did I miss the joke?" Queen Lucia frowned but the maids shyly
Royal Fuckery Chapter 57 : Royal send off
The King sat stagnant in his seat, he had seen his nephew's body. He could not believe it. He had to die in such a horrible manor, his head looked like a broken watermelon. It wasn't a very pleasing scene but he had to. He had to make sure it was really Elias. It was clear Prince Alexius wouldn't, he was too trusting, easily trusting... the King thought. This was really the end for his nephew this was really the life he chose to lead and this is how he chose to end it. Prince Alexius had told him that they would hold a small gathering where they will let his ashes go at the Mount Varasova. It was initially Elias, favorite place and Prince Alexius knew that. Elias enjoyed sitting on the hill watching everything from down below. He would seat there for hours at most, Elias enjoyed nature, he loved nature. Elias had warned the Prince to never ever go to his spot or rather his hill when they were kids. He would always make jokes such as 'You have the whole kingdom and you want to go arou
Royal Fuckery Chapter 56 : Royal brother
Royal Brother "We don't know how it happened but he jumped off and it seems he died before he had even reached the ground floor." The hospital security said to Prince Alexius who was still in shock. He had came to the palace with very tragic news. They were all seated in the Royal dining, breakfast was served but no one could stomach any of what had happened. It still had not sunk in. Elias was really gone, he died a tragic death by jumping off the tenth floor of the hospital window. "What I want to know is how would a blind person jump off a hospital window?" The King questioned seated in his wheelchair, he was hurt emotionally. "I have no answers, my king. I'm very sorry your highness." The young man said solemnly. Prince Alexius couldn't hear anything, all sounds sounded like a distant memory. 'Elias is dead.' 'His body is in the mortuary.' 'His body is beyond unrecognizable.' 'It would be best if he be cremated.' 'Alex are you okay?' He zoned back in at the soun
Royal Fuckery Chapter 55 : Royal Condolences
Lucia was laid in bed in Prince Alexius arms. She could faintly make out his heartbeat. His arms wrapped around her body, he was the big spoon. Snoring lightly, she smiled thinking about how she was going to tease him about it when he wakes up. Feeling his morning glory poking her backside made her fluster a bit. It was warm, too warm probably because they were both naked after last night... no one really bothered to put on night garments after their endeavors. They were both out of breath, tired but most of all entirely satisfied. She put her hand on top his, that laid snuggly around her waist. He had two rings on, one was his Royal ring, the other was a ruby red ring that belonged to his mother. She remembered how at the river he had told her that, he had it custom made into a male version but still kept the ruby. He never ever removed these two rings but what made Lucia smile was when she thought back to last night when he threw his wedding ring in the flowing river and told her it

"Papa, why is mama leaving?" Elisabet asked her father. "érchontai edó prinkípissa." Prince Alexius softly deciding, she would only understand if he explained to her in her mother tongue like he always had before whenever he told her important messages. Princess Elisabet went to sit on her father's lap holding onto her brown teddy bear. She had a somber look on her face this made Prince Alexius very sad. She wasn't close to her mother but she loved her. They hardly spent time together but Elisabet still looked up to her none-caring mother. "Mama is going home, nai?" He questioned at the end of the sentence making sure she understood each word he said."papa, den eínai aftó to spíti?" Princess Elisabet then replied by asking her father if this wasn't home. It made Prince Alexius stiffen in his stance. Suddenly Lucia came in, after softly knocking and getting no response. "Uhm, i will just be at the royal gardens-" Queen Lucia turned to leave feeling that this was a heartfelt moment
Royal Fuckery Chapter 53 : Royal Farewell
-Father-" Prince Alexius embraced his father tightly. He looked weaker, thinner and much more pale. The doctor had said three months, he often wondered... how they could just simply put a time stamp on someone's life. It made him upset, upset at the world for easily taking away all the good things that people have in their lives."Alexius." He replied pulling back, Prince Alexius adjusted his father's continental pillows before sitting on the stool right next to his bed side."I heard the news." His father smiled proudly. It was the very first time he had seen his father genuinely proud of him. It was visible from the twinkle in his dull blue eyes. "I did absolutely nothing, honestly." Prince Alexius shrugged."What a great future King, your son is to be." King Dysmas declared proudly."He is really something." Prince Alexius felt proud, he had that pride in him that, Theodore was his son. He had done something that future generations would always praise him for, something previous
Royal Fuckery Chapter 52 : Royal Visitations
-His eyes watered a bit as he continued looking at her. He felt as if a ghost was in front of him. He couldn't hold the happiness he felt, seeing his bestfriend after so long. This was definitely one of the days in his lifetime he would never forget. Being reunited with his childhood bestfriend, whom he thought he had lost forever. Lucia stared at Khris, he wasn't a boy anymore. He had facial hair properly shaved and it suit him. There were so many changes but when she looked into his eyes, he was still the same little boy... herself and Kyra use to play with in the fields. The same young man who was selfless enough to give up everything just to marry her. Her selfless bestfriend who only wanted to protect her and see her happy. She hugged him for what seemed like the longest of time. If she had anyone whom she could consider lifelong family, it would be Khristian Salavas. He was the definition of loving and kind. He had been there for her from the very first time when they were on

"He will never see again." The doctor said to Prince Alexius who seemed devastated. "Unfortunately." The doctor continued. "The good thing is his burnt wounds are healing up quite well.." Prince Alexius felt an ache in the deepest part of his heart. As much as he had convinced himself that he hated Elias, he could never. It was impossible. He grew up with Elias and had known and looked up to him as a brother while growing up. He couldn't just up and decided, he hated him and didn't care about his well being."Is there anything that can be done about his eye sight?" Queen Lucia questioned, Prince Alexius had forgotten she was present. He was so used to being alone and dealing with everything alone but she was here with him. She left everything so she could be with him in his time need not that it was really him in need more like Elias. Prince Alexius would never wish this even upon his worst enemy. It was a very sad outcome. "Sadly, my Queen, he just needs to adjust to his new enviro
