Chapter 11: Death's Trigger

The dungeon was a horrible place. The sun never shines in it, so it's always surrounded by darkness. Adding to the atmosphere are the drowning sorrow and agony of the prisoners. Including those of the treacherous royalties.

Mayuna has been in the dungeon for a month now and she can't stand the horrid smell of the place. They were treated like rats. No, they treat the rats better than them. How she wished she could escape this horrible place.

"Curse that damn Ayuzawa, she's the one who got me into this. If she hadn't come along then prince Takumi would've been mine sooner."

"I'll give that statement a yes and a no my dear." A man said suddenly appearing in front of Mayuna's cell

"What are you doing here?" Mayuna spat

"Visiting my cousin, is that bad?" The man asked

"I don't need you here." Mayuna said, getting annoyed

"Well, don't worry I won't stay long. I just thought you might want some food prepared by our cook."

"Really? Well let me have them!" Mayuna exclaimed

"Here you go." Said the man

Mayuna gobbled the food immediately but not long after found herself choking and having trouble breathing.

The man turned to leave as Mayuna laid on there on the ground with white foam coming out of her mouth. Her body twitching and the whites of her eyes clearly seen. The man just laughed as the woman died before him.

Back at the castle…

"Misaki, let's go out on a date." Usui said

"Later, Usui, the king summoned me for something important. I think you should come too, you are involved in these things after all." I said as I grabbed Usui's hand and went to the meeting room with him.

Usui just smiled because my hand has involuntarily intertwined with his. He wanted to just whisk me away and take me out by the lake. Just sit there and talk about trivial things, but the seriousness on my face was stopping him to do so.

"What's the meeting about Misa-chan?" Usui asked trying to break the ice between us.

"I-I don't know, but it looks serious though." I said

We reached the meeting room just in time. The king was already waiting for us when we got there. The other ministers were there waiting for us too. Their faces were grim and they all look worried.

"What's going on here?" Usui asked

"It's about Mayuna." The king said

"What about her?" I asked, I'd be so pissed if she got out of the dungeon

"The guards found her dead in her cell. Someone infiltrated the castle and poisoned her food." The king said

"Do you know who did it?" I asked

"We're still investigating on the matter." One of the ministers said

"It's best that you two be weary. As long as the culprit is on the loose we're not safe." The king said

"Alright we'll watch our backs." Usui said

The king dismissed us after a few talks on the safety of everyone in the castle. There's been a lot if incidents lately that the king wanted to increase security.

"Misaki you better stick with me so I can keep an eye on you." Usui said seriously

"I'm perfectly capable of protecting myself, thank you." I said, he treats me like a kid sometimes

"Oh what am I to do with you?" Usui said as he pulled me in for a hug. I know he's worried but I can take care of myself.

We stayed in each other arms for a while when a man with his sword pointed at Usui began to charge at him.

I don't know what happened next. My butt landed on the grass with a small thud and Usui was blocking the assailant with his sword. Well that was fast!

"Misaki get away from here I'll be fine."

"Are you stupid? I'm not leaving you here!" I said as I drew my sword.

"Misaki, be a good girl for once and go." Usui said, worry evident in his voice

I know Usui is going to hate me for this but I charged at the enemy anyway. He blocked my sword right after Usui struck him on the chest with the sword's pommel. The assailant was taken aback and fled into the woods. I tried to go after him but Usui held me back. He looked mad at me. I've never seen him that way before.

"U-Usui." I said, I can feel myself shrinking under his stare

"Misaki, you could've gotten hurt!" Usui said a little too loud. I flinched

"Okay that's it, you're coming with me." Usui said as he dragged me along with him towards his bedroom.

Mayuna's estate…

"Where is my daughter?" The duke asked

"She's been in the castle for more than a month now. We haven't got new from her since then."

"Have you not heard of it yet uncle?" Tora asked

"Heard of what Tora?"

"There's been news that Mayuna died in the dungeon at the castle." Tora said nonchalantly

"W-what, that's not true. She's in the castle to take care of some business, she told me." The duke said, in denial of the whole situation.

"Then I guess you do not know that she was arrested and locked up in the dungeon for a month because of attempted murder against the royal advisor?" Tora asked

"Since when…how…why?" all coherency seemed to have left the duke as he couldn't form words anymore. The duke just sank to his knees and began to weep. He loved his daughter, and now she's dead.

"T-tell me everything Tora." The duke said

"With pleasure." Tora said with a mischievous smile on his face.

After a long storytelling from Tora, the duke's face was now morphed by anger. He wanted to avenge the death of his daughter. He'd do anything to bring the royal family down.

Tora was proud of himself for pulling off such an amazing story. Now he'll be able to use the duke's anger to his advantage. He can finally start his plan. Of course lying to the duke about the truth on Mayuna's death was just the first step. He'd be out of his mind when he tells him that he's the one who killed her.

Usui's bedroom…

"Usui, let me go please." I pleaded

"If you didn't want to get punished then you should've thought of your actions first." Usui said coldly as he pushed me down to his bed. He pinned both my hands above my head and looked into my eyes. I could see the love there but now it was mixed with lust. It looks like he won't hold back this time.

Usui took a piece of cloth and tied my hands above my head. He started kissing the crook of my neck. Nibbling, leaving kiss marks on it.

"Usui please stop." I said weakly getting drowned in pleasure.

"You didn't do what I said a while ago so why should I listen to you?" Usui said with much mischief in his eyes.

Usui's kisses trailed downwards from my neck to my collarbone. An involuntary moan escaped my lips. Damn, stupid alien.

"Enjoying yourself Misaki?" Usui asked teasingly

He continued with the kisses until an idea struck him. He pulled out a dagger and ripped the front part of my dress nearly exposing my breasts.

"Normally I'd asked if you want me to stop, but since this is your punishment, I won't be doing so." Usui said as he kissed my forehead.

"Just leave it all up to me." He said.

As his hands started to explore I can't stop myself from moaning and whimpering and of course begging for him to stop though I really don't want him to stop. Ah I'm so weird. I feel weird and aroused at the same time.

"T-Takumi…"

Okaaaaay, it's been a while since my lovely readers. Usui's bedroom scene was well…awkward but don't worry you'll get the full scoop on what happens in the next chapter so stay tuned. Reviews are deeply appreciated. Until next time everyone.
