"The King's Love" by Increbresco
Chapter 1
A tall dark figure stood at the end of the stone corridor, deep blue eyes glinting with anger as a wary line of soldiers silently marched towards him. Their dark blue uniforms were stained with dirt and blood; their bodies radiated signs of fatigue and sweat. They gazed in fear at the man standing before them. Each one hoping their lives would be spared and dreading punishment they were sure to receive.
"You are all incompetent fools! I sent you out three days ago to gather information and yet you return with nothing! You men are supposed to be the best in my army, what a damn joke you all are! I'll show you what happens when you don't serve your master, 100 days in the dungeons for each of you! Now leave my sight before I execute every last one of you!" screamed the man.
The soldiers dispersed quickly, heads hanging low with remorse and shame. They had failed to please their King it would surely not be forgotten by him for he often held grudges.
Meanwhile a tall blonde haired man cautiously approached the King; he was formidably dressed in a dark blue uniform similar to that worn by the soldiers. His uniform was decorated with gold medals that hung from his strong shoulders and attached was a long flowing golden cape that glittered when the sun streaming in from the windows of the stone corridors hit it.
"Please your majesty, have mercy on them, they tried their best, they don't deserve prison time!" he pleaded with the King.
The man turned to see who addressed him with such a ridiculous request. It was his childhood friend and Head General, Lord Andrew.
"Know your place Lord Andrew, this doesn't concern you and I have little patience to deal with you today" muttered the King.
"I thought that all matters of the army involved the Head General, I guess however that judging from the scowl on your face that today it doesn't. Why are you so upset Endymion? Didn't you get any last night", joked Lord Andrew, nudging the King slightly with a huge grin plastered on his freckled face.
"Ha Ha very funny Andrew. As a matter of fact I just finished screwing your sister," retorted the King, a slight smile on his lips.
Lord Andrew flinched, "I hope that's not true cause even though you are the King, I would still have to kick your scrawny ass".
"I would love to see that. Don't worry though I would never lay a hand on your sister after all she does look like you in a dress" laughed the King as he leaned against the stone pillar behind him. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
Lord Andrew moved closer to his best friend, speaking in a hushed tone,
"Seriously though, what's bothering you Endy? I'm worried about you, have you been sleeping at all? I can see the bags under your eyes"
The King just stared back at him blankly for a minute before turning to look out the large window. He gazed at the palace grounds then out beyond the wall at the city where everyone was bustling about busily.
"I'm lonely", he whispered quietly in the wind.
Lord Andrew gave a sad sigh and squeezed the king's shoulder unable to offer any words of support to his friend. They stood silently watching the city as nightfall approached and eventually parted ways to attend to their duties.
Everyone in the palace knew their King was very lonely which often explained his erratic behavior. King Endymion was the ruler of the Earth; his palace was located in the magnificent crystallized city of Crystal Tokyo. He had been king for hundreds of years, 400 years to be precise. Before him, his father King Elysion had ruled for thousands of years, so it was in Endymion's blood to be King. He enjoyed it immensely, he was considered to be the smartest man in the world, and he ruled with an iron fist and was never one to be challenged or doubted.
The King was perfect. He was also terribly handsome. He had eyes as blue as the ocean that sat on the most chiseled handsome face that existed. His beautiful bronze skin and tall strong body attracted many women. And King Endymion had definitely had his share of women, too many to count actually. However he had never been in love and had so far been unable to find a woman who suited him. Many thought he was being too picky but really Endymion was looking for his soul mate and after searching 300 years for her, he wasn't sure she existed and the thought of being alone forever haunted him. So much so that he had not bed a woman in years and this alarmed everyone greatly.
People were worried about their King's unhappiness and scared that he would never produce an heir to the Kingdom so they flocked to the local temples daily to offer their prayers to King Elysion hoping he could somehow see to his son's happiness. King Elysion was not dead just in the Great Sleep with his wife, he would not awake for another year. Everyone waited for his return impatiently eager to see how King Elysion would rectify his son's problems. Until then things would continue on as they had been before. However one day something extraordinary occurred in the palace causing quite a stir…
Elsewhere…
A girl in a very strange odango like hairstyle stood staring at the palace from beyond the magnificently large golden gates.
"I'll make our dream come true Daddy, I promise," she whispered.
Sixteen year old, Serenity Moon better known as Serena to her friends was an angel. She had beautiful light blue eyes, soft pink lips and long hair as golden as the sun itself framed her lovely face. Hidden beneath her baggy sailor like school uniform were perfectly full breasts, a taut stomach and long legs that seemed to go on forever. She was noticed by everyone wherever went not because of her striking beauty but rather her firecracker personality. Serena was very kind and sweet to those closest to her but to most people she could be quite the spitfire and very rebellious. She was also incredibly smart, which tended to surprise others, people often underestimated her.
Young Serena as beautiful as she was never had a boyfriend before and quite frankly she wasn't interested in dating. Serena spent most of the day in school studying in advanced classes and after school and on the weekends she worked as a waitress at the Crown Arcade. Serena barely had time to hang out with her friends; it was a luxury she couldn't afford. She had big plans for her future.
Serena had one dream, which was to be accepted into the Royal Academy at the palace. It was an elite program for the best and brightest where the King himself thought a small number of students. Most students that completed the program worked for the monarchy and always ended up being important people and future leaders. Serena wanted desperately to be important and to make a difference in the world.
When Serena was six years old her father Kenji had taken her to the palace gates and told her many tales of the King who lived inside and of the beauty of the palace itself. He also told her that if she worked hard in school that she could be accepted in the Royal Academy and be taught by the King himself. This had made little Serena squeal with excitement for she often took delight in making her dad happy.
It had been the dream of her father to do the same however after getting his high school girlfriend Ikuko pregnant with Serena that dream had faded and had been replaced with marriage, fatherhood and a dead-end meager job that barely put enough food on the table for his young family. Kenji cherished his family deeply but he always dreamt wistfully of being able to achieve his dream. His only hope was for his little Serena to have everything that he was never able to get.
Sadly however, Kenji and Serena's mother Ikuko had passed away when Serena turned eight. Victims of a deadly car crash; the only survivor was little Serena. Since both her young parents' family had disowned them after Serena's birth she had no one to care for her so she was sent to live in the Juuban Orphanage for Girls at the outskirts of Crystal Tokyo.
Juuban Orphanage for Girls was well-known as being a run down slum where poor orphans struggled to survive on rationed meals and poor living quarters. The girls there ranged from babies to seventeen year olds. And most of them were miserable in their surroundings and had grim futures to look forward to. The upper class of Crystal Tokyo were generous to the orphanage but the head of the orphanage Mrs. Haruna squandered most of the money on building herself a comfortable luxurious life with little care about the needs of the children.
Serena's struggle in the orphanage as well as fulfilling her father's dream is what fuels her to accomplish her dreams even more. Everyday Serena works hard so that one day her luck will change.
Serena gave a slight sigh, pressing her forehead against the cold metal bars of the gate. The exams for entrance to the elite Royal Academy were to be given in two months and she had to do everything she could to pass them.
"Hey you kid! Beat it! You can't hang out here", shouted a man dressed in a navy blue uniform from behind the gate startling Serena out of her reverie.
She frowned and then stuck her tongue out at him. Another guard came up to the gate, he was younger than the first and was definitely much more handsome.
He smirked at her. "Do you want to come in? I can tell that you do, I have seen you here every morning for as long as I can remember. I'll make you a deal, give me a little kiss and I'll let you in. How does that sound sweetheart?"
Serena gritted her teeth and with a seething anger her leg flew between the metal bars at just the right angle kicking him in the shins.
The guard howled in pain screaming for the gates to be open so he could teach her a lesson.
Serena smirked as she picked up her schoolbag and continued on to school as though nothing happened, a peaceful smile gracing her lips as she replayed what she had done in her head. It wasn't like she did anything wrong, it was her morning ritual to come there and spend a few minutes daydreaming of what it would be like to finally enter those golden gates. And those stupid guards had tried to ruin the moment. She smiled evilly as she glanced back at the gate. Serves him right!
Serena didn't know that fate had some pretty interesting things in store for her.
*The End for now, more to come very soon!*
