KEEP BURNING BRIGHTLYAt last, the slaves of the Southern Isles finally made it to the kingdom of the Northern Isles, after numerous days of walking. The slaves were all exhausted as they collapsed on the road, as the soldiers guarding the border met up, with the soldiers who were returning from the Southern Isles.“Finally, you guys are here. Don’t you know that the kings from other kingdoms just arrived. We need these slaves to be there, during introduction so that they can be sold. Your heads were so going to roll, after today if the prince had asked for the troops, and you haven’t returned.” The general said as the captain bowed his head, saying“Forgive me, we decided to let the slaves rest for a little while in between breaks, and due to the fact that we carried a lot of slaves, including old people, we had to go at a slow pace, has the prince asked about us yet?” The captain said, with his heart in his throat.“Not yet, get the slaves to the dungeons, and tell the maids to pr
TANGO WITH THE SOLDIERSEarly the next morning, Michelle had left Mrs. Danni’s house as she found her way sneaking into the palace grounds as she tried to find someone who could help her and tell her where to find her princess. She was going to see her princess, today irrespective of what happens to her. she knew that hoping to the prince wasn’t a good idea as she had not sought for an appointment and also the reason of her appointment was to let her see the princess would be the death of her, as prince Michael would kill her right there and then on the spot, and she was no good to her princess dead.She needed to find someone who would have mercy on her and decides to help her, once who wouldn’t shun her like the others but also at the same time had authority or power to do things without being queried by anybody else other than the Prince himself.Damn it, finding such person was going to be a hectic attack. Michelle groaned in frustration. It was already getting to late noon, yet
A CHANGE OF HEARTMichelle noticed the frown on the man’s face after she finished talking. She was confused. Was it because she had asked to see her princess. So he hated her too huh.“Did I say something wrong? She said slowly walking towards the man, cutting the distance between them.“Why do you request for the princess? By your skin, you are obviously a citizen of the Northern Isles. What business, do you have with a slave, a tool for the prince’s pleasure. He asked as Michelle shook her head.“Yes, I may be one of you, but my loyalty lies with the princess. She is the only one I know. I am her personal maid, I follow her day in, day out, doing things to make her happy. She is the only family I know, and I need to see her please.” Michelle said begging as Dan shook his head.“That is not a good idea. The prince had requested that nobody sees the princess without his permission. I simply can’t disobey him. Go back home and forget about the princess. She is a slave now, and you are
A JEALOUS MISTRESSAmbrosia was very angry, after seeing and hearing all that she heard just now. She was furious. How dare that lowly peasant talk about that slave that way. And made her angry the most was that the prince didn’t tell her, that he had the princess as his slave. She had thought that the princess was beheaded with the rest of her family, all those months ago.Michael lied to her, but why? Aggravated and confused, she stormed to her chambers, after sending for a palace maid to fetch her Annabel.She still paced around in her chambers waiting impatiently for Annabel to come. Today was becoming a very bad day for her, from the moment she woke up.She didn’t see her prince beside her when she woke up, and from the coldness of the bed told her that it was probably midnight when he left her room. She was sad, she thought that the prince was beginning to mellow and let her in slowly into his life, not knowing that he just stayed behind to make sure that she had slept before l
THE IMPULSIVE DESIRE TO PROTECTDan and Michelle soon found themselves standing at the entrance of the mines. It was a bit dark, as they entered due to the few windows, in it. Michelle scared, edged closer to Dan’s back, as she held on to his clothing which made Dan stop and she rammed into his back, and fell from the impact.“Oh I am so sorry.” Dan said reaching for her hand, and pulled her up, as she massaged her forehead a bit.“Don’t worry it is okay, I guess I was walking a lit too closely, behind you, I will put some distance from now.” Michelle said as she looked into his eyes and seeing the salty brown eyes, her breathing seized as she was trying to pull away, but couldn’t.They remained in that position for some minutes, before Dan cleared his throat leaving her hand and straightened his body said, his voice deeper and aloof,“The sooner we stop staring and find the master in charge of the mines, the sooner we can leave.”Right. Michelle said nodding her head, and clearing h
DELUSIONALAmbrosia was very angry as she stormed the hallways, the maids scurrying away from her path as she made her way to the royal throne room. She was furious, at the prince and at everyone else. Making her way to the throne room, she was blocked by the guards at the entrance.“What do you think you are doing? Clear out from my fault before I lay my anger on you, don’t you know who the hell I am? I will have you hanged for your insolence. Ambrosia, but all screamed at the guards who bowed their head.One said slowly,“We know who you are, but the prince gave us instructions not to let anyone else but royalty walk through these doors. He is with other kings and they are discussing something important. Please understand our predicament.“I don’t care if he is talking with the gods, or making an offering, I am his mistress and by the power I order you to let me in. she said trying to walk through but the guards didn’t let her in.“I am sorry but I am afraid that you would have to w
THE REUNION“Yes, it is really me.” Michelle said holding back her tears as Era slowly reached out touching her cheeks and coming in contact with solid, she almost gasped. Pulling Michelle closer, she saw that she was able to touch her unless it meant she was dead, that means Michelle was really alive.She checked her whole body looking for bruises or scars but she couldn’t find any. She was relieved. They hadn’t touched her.“Could this really be you?” Era said choking on her saliva as Michelle pulled her into a tight hug sobbing loudly grateful that finally she had seen her princess after all these time. Era on, the other hand let her tears began to flow again. Her Michelle was here, everything was looking brighter for her.She didn’t care that the head of security was right there, leaning on the door, watching two women display something that probably made men cringe but he didn’t. rather he had a little smile on his face, and Era was wondering if, it was happiness or a smirk.She

CHAPTER 44: Prince Michael opened the door and walked in, the light illuminated the room as his eyes sought for the probably sleeping slave on his bed, but what he saw, wasn’t what he expected.Era wasn’t on the bed, she was, seated on the chair, where he usually wrote on his scrolls and her head was placed on the table, her eyes closed but he knew she was awake and he knew that she had sensed his presence already. He could see the dried up tears on he4r cheeks and knew instantly she had been sobbing quietly.Just then, Era rose up from the chair and cleaned her face bowing her head, waiting for his command. Good, she was becoming obedient like a slave. She didn’t wait for him to usher any order so it meant one thing.She was prepared to face whatever happened to her this night. He stared all over her, his eyes crawling through her skins like hands. Era shivered under the scrutiny. His eyes, never changed even after the inspection.Prince Michael forced his eyes from her as he went
CHAPTER 43: FROM GRACE TO GRASSAfter Michelle, had been successfully taken away, and they were back in the palace, Prince Michael had asked that the guards leave Dan and him alone in the cabinet and go fetch the slave princess from the mines and dropped her in his room. He would deal with her, but first he wanted to deal with Dan.Dan fell on his knees, his head bowed to the ground as he waited for the punishment form his prince. Was it going to be mere whipping, or death. He knew death wasn’t out of the question, one who turned his back on the ruler was already a tyrant and the punishment was banishment or death.Prince Michael went back and sat down on his father’s throne, and stared down at Dan. So many emotions rushed through him, that he wasn’t sure what he felt most, anger or disappointment.He paused, he couldn’t afford to talk harshly, his father once drilled in his ears, never to make a decision while he was angry, because he would live to regret it. This was his best friend
CHAPTER 42: A TRIP TO THE TEMPLEAmin shook her head as she watched the struggles of the slave, who was unconscious at the moment. She was fighting an internal battle and from the looks of it, she was barely winning. There was nothing she could do for her at this stage. Luckily she was able to repair her physical wounds, especially around her private parts. The slave had a lot of bruises from her vagina. She knew the prince must have gone hard on her, even though she wasn’t well. That had led to her collapse.She knew this slave wouldn’t survive very long in the hands of the prince. It had barely been a week since she was brought out of her solitary in the dungeons and Era had almost died twice. She wasn’t even fighting to stay alive, she wanted to die.During her relapses as Amin treated Era, the latter had begged her to let her die, to end her sufferings and pain. That she couldn’t do it anymore, but Amin had just given her an herb to take which took her back to the dreamland as she
CHAPTER 41: A NEW PUZZLE TO THE MYSTERYIt was a smooth ride as Ambrosia looked through the windows as the chariot sauntered through town, she could see the market women clearing the pathway for them. She looked back at Michael who was lost in thoughts.She frowned, what could be making the king so angry? Slowly slipping her hands in between the prince’s fingers. She smiled as the king glanced at her, and tightened the hold.Ambrosia, does anything troubles your mind? He said in his low deep voice as Ambrosia replied stroking his hand,My prince, it should be I who should be asking you this question. You are the one with the burden, you don’t look happy. How can I help you, my prince?Don’t worry about it, it is just a typical day in the throne room, and its usual problems, I am fine. He said, as he looked out the window signaling the end of the conversation.Ambrosia sighed deeply. She didn’t like when the prince kept something from her. They were supposed to be transparent with each
CHAPTER 40: FIGHTING HIS DEMONSThe whole royal cabinet was as calm as a sea before the storm, you could even hear a pin drop. Everyone looked at the Prince who was shocked at what he had just heard.Excuse me, I must have blood in my ears. Did I hear correctly that you want me to release the traitor Michelle from prison, because she is your daughter. King Michael said as Mrs. Danni fell to her knees, and bowed her head crying.Your royal highness, please have mercy on me and Michelle. Forgive us for our utterances, I can’t bear to see her in that state. She is like a daughter to me, please my prince. Have mercy. Mrs. Danni cried loudly as the other kings and ministers watched the unfolding scenery, going on between the prince and the old woman.They were at a loss to what was going on. Why would the prince lock up someone’s daughter? What wrong was committed? The kings were murmuring as Prince Michael raised an eyebrow looking at the kings and contemplation on the best way to tackle
CHAPTER 39Prince Michael has a dreamless night which was surprising because every night, he was usually tormented by Gadreel. What the hell had happened. Wincing, he opened his eyes as he tried to remember what had happened yesterday night. He looked at his body and saw that he was naked underneath the sheets. He had never slept without changing to the night robe. He looked at the side but didn’t see Era beside him, and the side felt cold which only meant one thing. The slave didn’t sleep the night with him. Good she is getting good at the slave life.Era had been gone since the last night. He pushed the thoughts of her down his mind as he stood up and made his way to the bathroom to have his showers. After he would deal with Michelle and Era. He had already deled with Dan.Ambrosia was waiting for him outside with smiles on her face when the prince came out of the chambers already dressed in his princely garments.My prince, good morning. She said curtsying with broad smiles, as Mic
CHAPTER 38: ONCE UPON A PRINCESS…OR TWOYou have been a very bad princess, Eretria Davilline Cone. The voice said as Era whimpered, as she hid in the cupboard. Right now, she was a child, barely 10 years old as she ran away from her angry father.Gadreel was ruthless, and angry. He carried the whip in his hands as he walked around her room slowly taunting the princess. He knew where she was hiding. He could hear the pants and the little whimpers she made, which led him directly to where she was but he decided to prolong her suffering.So bad that you know what I will do, I will remove all your clothes and whip you bare, until you scream like the scared terrified child, I know you to be and you won’t ever disobey me ever again. King Gadreel completed as he opened the wardrobe and pulled an already crying Era from there and threw her on the bed before proceeding to whip her.As the first lash landed on her body and she screamed in a high pitched voice, Era woke up suddenly as she could
CHAPTER 37SKIP THE SMUT SCENE***Era was breathless as the orgasms that had overtook her and carried her to a place of high ecstasy soon left her. it was mind-blowing, she knew sex was good, but she didn’t know that it was going to be this good. Era couldn’t believe what she heard, but she knew what she felt. Her insides were on fire. The prince had certainly worked a number on her and she knew it wasn’t out of passion, it was anger. His words came back to her as clear as crystal."You, from this moment belongs to me and only me. He said it with spite. He meant it, as someone holding a captive. But in a way it made her happy. She won’t be assaulted by other men again and certainly not by Cassidy. Although it was worse, she hated the way her skin crawled when she was assaulted by Cassidy. Anger rose up in her as she pushed down that humiliating thought of Cassidy down in her deepest cell, in her mind.She looked at the prince beside her. with his eyes closed, he looked calm and peacef
