"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.
"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
"Eat and drink with your relatives; do business with strangers." ~ Greek Proverb.- "I'm trying to be civil with you." Prince Alexius said in a dull tone. 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
"You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back." - Barbara De Angelis.-"When the Prince returns to his senses, do not mention this to anyone. 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."
"People who are sensible about love are incapable of it." ~ Douglass Yates.-Prince Alexius Nikoloudis II was visiting the village, something felt different. The independent city of Acamas was beautiful and gifted with greener grass, a number of trees, beautiful hills and flowing rivers. He had always loved doing this with his father when he was a boy... he waned to see how other people lived- his people."Stop the carriage !" He said abruptly."My King." The royal servant aforesaid. The Prince was shocked why were they addressing him as King and not Prince. He wasn't a King yet as far as he was concerned. "Daddy !" He whipped his head to face the direction where the little voice was coming from. A little brown haired girl was sitted on Princess Amelia's lap. He was beyond confused."Daddy-" She giggled with her front teeth missing. He blinked but she was still there. Could this be the daughter he had with Lucia ? no it couldn't be. She had hazel brown eyes and brown shoulder leng
"But love is many things, none of them logical." - William Goldman.-"How did everything go before my arrival ?" King Dysmas asked the queit dinner table. "Uncle, i handled everything. The issues with the servant wages, i even made it a point to visit the village to ensure that everything was being handled well. The horse are stronger than they have ever been. I also visited the Greece officials so we could talk about the alliance at which they preferred to speak to you themselves." Elias said nonchalantly."And Alexius what did you do ?" The King questioned, of course he was more concerned with his son considering he was the future King. Prince Alexius shrugged. Princess Amelia and Kyra silently picked at their food because it was awkward and none of them wanted to say the wrong thing."Uh-" He faltered."Alexius, your do not seem keen on doing your royal duties ?" The King continued."Father, I'm tired. I have alot going on." Prince Alexius replied. Elias had a smirk on his lips a
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
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 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
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
-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
-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
