In distant times, in a remote country…

For four days and nights, the Prince had travelled, getting no rest; for four days and nights, he had looked forward to this moment.. It had been two months since he had left his palace in Anjekaar, and he was longing to see again the thriving town, buzzing with craftsmen going to and fro, women in shops, arguing on the price of freshly baked loaves of bread, a silk scarf, or freshly –cut flowers. He was longing to see the wide richly decorated rooms, and hear the sweet murmur of the numerous fountains. But besides everything, he was longing to this instant he would be reunited to his dakaree, his dearest Ethan, to this instant he would hold him again in his arms, to this instant their lips would meet, and to this instant he would propose to him…

He had had plenty of time to think it over and over again. Yes, Ethan was indeed his own true love, and the only one worthy of sharing with him all the happiness and the duties brought to him by the charge which he had had been bestowed upon two years ago, when his father had died. Of course, there was the problem of begetting an heir, but the palace was full of numerous well – born ladies who would only ne to happy to carry a child for him. Sexual relationships were undoubtedly out of the question, since the Prince had always shown a strong attirance to men only, and couldn't even think of making love to a woman, but his physicians would see to that. They would collect his precious seed and would wait for the right moment to implant it inside the woman who would have been chosen to give birth to the Nadjbaar, his son, who would one day reign over the city. His dignified"cotawons" who helped him rule the city and the lands depending on it, would no doubt be shocked and horrified at the prospect of their Prince bonding with a man, but he would just ignore them. After all, wasn't he the Prince? And what was the use of being the Prince if one couldn't do as one pleased?

He was now only a few miles from Anjekaar. Beaming, he galloped up the hill and paused for a moment: what a beautiful city it was indeed! How happily Ethan and he would live there! He rapidly galloped down, at full speed, and in no time he was entering his beloved city.

"The Prince! Our Prince is back!" the rumor swole and greeted him as he galloped towards the palace. At last, it came into view. The two guards at the entrance had already opened the doors wide, and jumping from his horse, he rushed inside.

"Ethan! Ethan, my love, where are you?"

"Prince Brian! We're all so glad you're back safe and sound!"

"Thank you Emmet! I'm glad I'm back with you all as well! Where's Ethan? I must see him at once!"

"Oh err… well, Prince Brian, there are some things I must talk to you about, and…."

"Later, cotawon! I know demand to see my love!" answered Brian. He started walking briskly through the rooms, towards his beloved's quarters.

"Allow me my Prince! I'll go and tell his highness his presence is requested. If your highness just cared to wait here, and I'll have some drinks and food brought to him!" But Brian wasn't listening. He was now running down the corridors, and, reaching Ethan's room, he flung the door open with a flourish, only to be met by the most horrible spectacle he could have imagined…

Ethan, his Ethan, was lying on his couch, moaning with pleasure, in company of three young men who were busy caressing and sucking him… Brian turned livid and had to lean against the wall, nearly passing out out of shock. The three boys jumped off the couch, and crouched on a corner of the room, trembling. Ethan briefly panicked, but quickly regained his composure. He stood up and walked to Brian, all smiling.

"My love! I didn't expect you so soon!"

"I figure so" replied Brian, still trembling

"Well, won't you come in, my Prince? I have missed you ever so much" Ethan purred

"I don't think so, Lord Gold" Brian answered sternly, his voice was now as cold as steel.

"Why, Brian you've been away for such a long time…" Ethan pouted" And I was getting so desperate… I just needed some company. Won't you join us, dearest? He purred again, using his best seductive voice.

"Don't you dare call you Prince by his name once again! You are a disgrace! You disgust me! I want you out of my view at once! Guards! Take this man and jail him right now! He's guilt of betraying his prince! I want him judged, sentenced to death and beheaded by tomorrow. As for those- he gestured towards the three young men still trembling at the other end of the room, I order them to be fed to the goryans immediately!" He then abruptly turned around and left the place, deaf to the pleas coming from behind him

"Prince, have mercy on us!"

"Brian! My love! I swear this won't happen again! Brian, won't you hear me and give me a chance? I love you! BRIAAAN"

Brian went straight to his apartments, instructed his servants not to disturb him whatever the matter, and locked himself in. he threw himself on his bed and wept.

For three days, he wept. At the end of the third day, he had cried his eyes all out, and he had no more tears to shed. He got up, stripped off his richly colored garments and put on plain black clothes, from head to toe. He then unlocked his door and summoned all his cotawons

"Prince Brian!" Emmet cried "We were all so worried about you!"

"None of that!" Brian replied stiffly. "Were you aware of what was going on?"

"No my Prince! We swear to you we didn't know anything!" all the cotawons cried in unison."Please, have mercy and believe us!"

"Enough! Have my orders been executed?"

"Yes, Prince… All the four men were put to death two days ago;"

"Perfect." Brian took a deep breath." The palace needs thorough redecorating. I want all the walls to be stripped down and left bare. No more jewels, no more draperies. Same thing for the floors. Plain tiles will now be quite enough. And send all the court men and their families away. I do not want anyone in here but a couple of servants, and you, Emmett. The rest of you will go and settle in the nearest town of Uyarvie, and I will meet one of you once a month, each one of you in turn. You will report to me what is going on, and I will dictate my decisions. You may leave now, and send me craftsmen to execute my wills.

"But, my Prince…"

"There's no but! Leave me alone now!" The cotawons bowed deeply and respectfully before departing.

No sooner had they left than Brian caught glimpse of a teenage boy further down the corridor. He had never noticed him before. Must be one of the houseboys, he thought. Looks so young, so fragile…Never mind, he will serve my purpose.

"Hey, you, boy!"

The boy raised his head and looked at Brain, puzzled.

"Did you call me, my Prince?"

"Yes, come here, lad."

"Certainly, my Prince. I'm at your service. What can I do to please you ? Order, and I will obey."

"This way, boy. There's certainly something you can do for me." Brain the opened the door to his room and gestured the boy inside. A soon as the teenager was in, he slammed the door shut and locked it.

"Strip" he flatly ordered."

"But… Prince Brian…."

"Didn't you hear me, boy? I said STRIP, right now!" Brian nearly shouted

"Certainly, my Prince…" trembling, the boy did as he had been ordered to and started to take off his clothes. Soon he was wearing nothing but his underwear. He stood there, waiting

"Off with that tool" Brian pointed at his boxer – shorts

The boy had now turned white with fear. "Please, my Prince, don't…"

"Silence lad! And obey! Good, now lay face down on the bed and spread your legs! Wider! Don't move now!"

"I beg your mercy, my Prince, I've never, never… "the boy was now sobbing uncontrollably

"Too bad for you, kid…" Brian quickly stripped as well, and not bothering to prepare him in any way, he positioned his cock at the boy's entrance and entered him brutally. The boy let out a wild scream, but Brian silenced him with a slap across his face.

"What did I tell you kid? Are you deaf? I'm your Prince, you are here to please me and I can do whatever I want with you! Now, shut up"

Brian then started pounding the boy's ass, marveling at how tight it was, and how good i felt. Within minutes, he felt his orgasm building and he soon exploded inside the warm channel with a satisfied groan. He then got up, unlocked the door and opened it wide

"Out you go, boy, come on, get out of here! And make sure you stay away from me, otherwise…"

Terrified, still sobbing, the teenage boy picked up his clothes and fled from the room.

Brian watched him run away, with an evil grin on his face. That's how things were going to be from now on. He had decided he had done with love and feelings now. All he wanted was sex, fuck boys or men senseless and then throw them out as soon as he had finished with them. They would all pay for what he had suffered, and he would make sure the price would be a high one…

Two years after, the place was bare and desolated, every fountain had been silenced, and the palace, which had once been bustling with laughter and joy only resounded with tears and screams. The citizens of Anjekaar had long fled from the forlorn city, and everybody took great care not to approach it. Houses and streets were dilapidated, and naughty children only had to be threatened with a "Be nice, or I'll send you to the Prince" to stop their mischief at once.
