(Raven's POV)
I wince in pain, as the guards behind me violently pushed me down onto the cold marble floor. I look up to find a tall man standing before me. I notice the crown of gold sitting on his curly brown hair, his cold green eyes look into mines but I shall show no evidence of fear!
"So your the little disobedient slave." He keeps his eyes on me.I quickly look away."You have some nerve to kill some of MY soldiers."
" I have more nerve than you! All you do is hide behind your army, like a scared little girl!" I grunt."You big baby!"
He grabs my shirt and pull me towards his face, forcing me to make eye contact."Know your place slave! Your more brave than I thought, but that bravery isn't gonna help you anymore. Not where your going.."He laughs."Your a smart boy I'm sure you know where you're staying."
"Your dirty old prison, it's as old as you, old man!" He tightens his grip."Oh I'm sorry did I emphasis on the word old?" He threw my on to the ground again.
"Reckless people like you usually have a short life!" He steps onto my head."Lets see how long you can last in prison without any food or water. Wait, I heard you didn't get anything to eat on the way here." He laughs."Looks like you'll be dead after 3 days. Guards take him away!" They picked me up and dragged me towards the prison.
(Eve's POV)
I hear my dad yelling from the throne room. I plug my hears but I could still hear his voice echoing in my head. I stare at the ocean blue pendant neclace that my mom gave me, wondering why her parents would want her to marry him. I really hate my dad's way of doing things, he loves going to war with other places, and enjoys seeing people suffer. Half the prisoners in the prison did nothing wrong! I wish I was never born into this family...
"Princess your father would like to see you." Said the red haired knight.
I sigh."Fine I'm coming, and would it kill you to just call me Eve? I call you by your name! "
"Yes it would kill me if the King found out. The King specifaclly said we workers can't be friends with you."
"Whatever, you're no fun Elsword!"
The truth is nobody but my dad can call me by my name, that's cause as the princess I'm not allowed to make friends. It'll get me distracted from being a proper princess! I find that really stupid! I quickly wipe those thoughts away as I enter the throne room, I put on a fake smile."Hello father."
"Eve, good I need to talk with you for a second!" This can't be good..."Eve, you're now the perfect age! Your gonna have to get use to dealing with prisoners, cause soon you'll be helping me by whiping them and executing them." I shiver at the thought of that.
"But I have nothing against these people.. I do not wish to harm them when I get older.."
"Eve listen to me. You must learn how to deal with these pests before becoming a proper Queen, people MUST learn to fear you! Ecpecailly those prisoners.. so you need to toughen up now. How about this, tomorrow I'll let you take a look at those prisoners up close."
"Do I have to do this?"
"Yes, once you spend the day around them you won't be afraid of them anymore. I'll even give you a whip, you can try it on some of them,it'll really bring up your confedence level!"
I only nodded in response. I'd wish he'd just leave me alone with this whole 'Lets torture random people' game, true I'm scared of the prisoners, but I also feel really bad for them, going there will only make me feel even more worse about being his daughter..
Next morning...
I take a deep breath in before opening the old wooden door leading to the prison. The lighting there is dim, and a vomit like scent filled the building. I wanted to puke but nothing came out."Here's the whip the King wanted you to have." Said Elsword.
I grabbed on to the handel and tightly squeezed it."Are you sure you want to go alone?"
"Yea, besides there are guards all around. No need to worry.."
"Okay, but shout if you need help alright?"
"Yea, yea."
I took one lung full of fresh air before walking in. I notice at least 10 different hallways, I slowly proceeded to the one with most light. My legs shaking as I walked further. I cautiously walk down the narrow hallway, I notice each parallel cell contains one prisoner. The cell wasen't big, it was mearly a small box with metal bars and a tiny window. Each prisoner wore white shirt, pants, and shoes and had blood stains covering them. My heart ached as I made eye contact with them, I don't know how long I've been walking but I stopped when I reached the last cell in the hallway.
"Great now I have to go to another hallway, joy.."
I was about to leave until something caught my eye. I see a boy around my age curled up into a ball on the floor, he had the most blood stains on him, and one of his arms were replaced with a robotic one I gasp in horror. He slowly opens his eyes stareing at me with his fierce golden eyes.
"Judging by your clothing you must be the princess." I could only nod in response. He sits up, I notice he's more skinny than I thought he'd be."So are you gonna hit me with that whip of yours?"
I place the whip on the floor beside my foot."N-no, I'm not that kind of person!" I study him one more time."Aren't you eating your meals? Your skinny as a stray dog!"
He grunts."Your old man wants to starve me to death, he's doing a pretty good job.." I feel a sword stab through my fragile heart.
"I can't believe he'd do such a thing!" I blurt out.
"You don't have to pretend to pity me! What do you acually want?"
"I don't want anything, it's what my dad wants! I don't want to talk about him! My name is Eve what's yours?"
"None of your bee's wax!" His voice echos through the prison.
I step back a bit."Listen, I may be his daughter but I don't like how he does things!"
"Shut it! I don't want to listen to your lies anymore!" He slowly gets up."Your quite annoying ya know that?"He fell right back down before he could stand up properly."Shoot! Looks like my strengh to stand up is gone.. You just got lucky you little witch!"
His words came at me like knives stabbing at my fragile heart,"look you can believe all you want but I'm not that type of person! I'm not gonna hurt you, I wanna help you!"
There was silence."Your quite a liar too eh?" I was about to scream at him but he suddenly fell over, and I could feel my anger get replaced with worry."Why.. can.. you.. have... a ... peacful life... and...not ...me!?" He fainted due to hunger.
"I'm sorry.." I pick up my whip and walk out of the first hallway. All my mind could think about was him. I was concerned about all the other prisoners, but I'm mainly concerned about him."What can I do to help you..?" That question echoed through my head as I continued to walk down the dark hallway.
