I watched as Ronan's face changed to the news of the infinity stone Korath had just given him.
He turned away from me almost immediately and without a word marched back up to his throne.
Nebula and the gaurds grabbed me forcefully and took me to a large chamber. "Let go of me! You're hurting me!" I screamed.
"If you utter another sound, I will kill you myself." Nebula warned. "You're lucky Ronan has kept you alive. Most don't survive."
"Why would he keep me alive then if I'm so worthless?" I demanded.
"You don't understand, do you? Ronan has kept you alive because you are valuable. You are the Terran's fiancée, which means he will be coming for you." Nebula snapped.
Suddenly, Korath appeared behind us. "Ronan requests an audience with the girl."
Nebula smiled slightly. "Why would he want to see her now? Isn't he contacting my father?"
"Not yet. He wants to show the girl his newfound power."
I was practically dragged back to the bridge. Ronan was seated on his throne this time.
He looked at me passively before dismissing his gaurds. "Leave us!" He thundered.
Ronan stood up, approaching me and began circling me. "Star Lord is a fool indeed, leaving such treasures as you and the orb unguarded on Knowhere."
"What are you going to do with me?" I asked cautiously.
Ronan sighed. "That is up to you, my dear. Standing in my presence, where most cower and fear me, you do not. Why is this?"
"I'm not afraid of anything, especially you. You try to come off as frightening but it's not working. All I see is pouty child struggling to be a man. Peter is a man, a real man."
"I have been very lenient on you, girl. That ends now." The Accuser grabbed me suddenly by the throat, and held me up a good foot off the floor. "There has been a change in plans. You do not insult me, you obey every command I give you and you do not try to escape my hand. Any attempts to break my control over you will result in your death. The only reason you are alive is because of Star Lord. Do you understand me?"
"Yes." I choked.
"That's a good girl." Ronan released me, letting me fall on the brick floor. "Now…I will contact Thanos and show you my full power."
