:::Chapter 8:::
"I commanded you both to bring me the girl!" Prince Heliodor shouted in rage.
"I- I'm sorry my Prince." Morganite nervously stammered as she bowed. "Everything happened so quickly, we were not expecting the girl to sacrifice herself for the-"
"Did you see her die?" Prince Heliodor angrily sneered.
"No my Prince, but when I left she was mortally injured." Morganite nervously stated. "I brought you the ginzuishou as you commanded." She said trying to redirect his anger.
"I cannot get this damn brooch open!" Prince Heliodor angrily shouted, throwing the brooch onto the floor and angrily unleashing a torrent of dark energy onto the brooch. Seeing the brooch was unscathed, he yelled out in anger as he turned his rage back onto Morganite.
"Find her!" Prince Heliodor angrily shouted. "Bring her to me! Bring her now!"
"Yes my Prince." Morganite fearfully stated, knowing she had never witnessed her Prince in such a rage.
Watching Morganite swiftly vanish, Prince Heliodor shook with rage as he looked down at the brooch lying on the floor. 'The girl must be the key to opening the brooch.' He angrily thought, then smirked. 'No matter, I will have both in my possession soon.'
Groggily waking, Usagi shakily raised looking around the dark room. Noticing Michiru leaning against the wall looking out the window into the night, she hesitated before finally speaking. "Michiru-chan." She said watching her friend turn and look at her.
"Usagi-chan, how are you feeling?" Michiru worriedly asked, gently smiling at her Princess.
"Where's Seiya-chan?" Usagi softly asked, watching the smile on her friend's face quickly drop.
"They've returned to Kinmoku." Michiru sternly stated.
"No." Usagi softly stated, as tears streaked her cheeks. "Why? Why did you make them leave? They did nothing wrong." She tearfully stated, as she heartbrokenly began to weep.
"You're hurt because of them, they-" Michiru said, but was abruptly interrupted by Usagi.
"They did nothing wrong!" Usagi heart brokenly shouted. "I was the one who jumped in front of the blast, I am the reason I was hurt, not them!"
"It's too late Usagi-chan." Michiru sternly stated. "They have left to return to Kinmoku. You will never see Kou Seiya again. They have been warned to never come back."
"No." Usagi gasped, as she began to weep once more. "Why would you do that?"
"You've had your fun Neko-chan." Haruka sternly stated, standing from where she had been resting against the wall. "It is time for you and the Prince to continue on your path."
"I won't do it." Usagi stubbornly stated. "I want to be with Seiya-chan." Noticing Haruka kneel in front of her, Usagi kept her gaze on the as tears streaked her cheeks. "I love him, I want to be with him." She desperately stated.
"You're just scared of the future to come." Haruka softly stated. "You don't love him, you're only in love with an idea, a fantasy that is not going to happen." She sternly stated, firmly taking her friends chin, forcing her to look up at her. "You will fix what has been broken, you and Prince Endymion-sama will continue down the path you originally had."
"No." Usagi softly stated as tears continued to fall. "I- I will never continue that path. If I must spend the rest of my life alone, I will." She sternly stated. "I won't marry Mamoru-san, I won't become Neo-Queen Serenity, I won't-" Crying out when Haruka angrily struck her, she touched her stinging cheek looking up at her friend in shock.
"You will continue your destiny." Haruka firmly stated, then quietly stood walking to where Michiru stood at the window. Hearing her friends soft cries, she blinked her own tears back as she angrily clenched her fists. 'Why did they have to come to this planet, to our Princess?' She angrily thought.
(The Following Morning)
Watching the sun's rays begin to light the early morning sky, Usagi wiped her tears away as she sat on the shrines porch. Hearing Minako and Makoto voices drawing closer, Usagi glanced up watching them walk up the shrines steps. Averting her gaze, she pulled her knees up to her chest burying her face against her knees.
"This is for the best Neko-chan." Haruka softly stated, seeing how miserable her Princess looked.
"I don't want to talk about it." Usagi tearfully mumbled.
"You don't have to." Haruka said softly sighing. "You-" She said then gasped sensing a dark presence emanating around them. Seeing the door slide open, she watched Michiru quickly step out of the room, her transformation rod held tightly in her hand.
"Someone is approaching." Michiru cautioned, watching Haruka quickly reach for her transformation rod.
Sensing the dark energy, Usagi tearfully looked up at the sky and slowly stood with defeat. "Their Prince figured it out." She said sadly smiling. "I was hoping I would have more time."
"What did you do Neko-chan?" Haruka sternly asked.
"I left the ginzuishou in the brooch when I gave it to Kyanite. I did it so their Prince wouldn't be able to remove the ginzuishou from the brooch without me." Usagi tearfully stated, looking up at Haruka.
"That's why you sent us away, you knew what Kyanite was planning to do to you." Haruka said hearing Michiru's soft gasp.
"Yes." Usagi softly stated. "If he had successfully killed me, the brooch would have remained locked away in the brooch, away from any dark force." She said, tearfully looking down. "They know now, that they will need me for the ginzuishou." She said looking up at her two guardians. "They've returned for me."
"We won't let them take you." Michiru tearfully stated.
"If they succeed, don't come for me. I will end this myself, I will destroy the ginzuishou before I allow them to have it." Usagi sternly stated, tearfully looking at her two guardians. "Promise me." She said looking up pleadingly at her two fiercest guardians.
"We won't let that happen Neko-chan." Haruka sternly stated.
"We-" Michiru said, then gasped watching Morganite suddenly appear above them wickedly laughing.
"Well, well." Morganite stated, as she chuckled with amusement. "I thought Kyanite-san successfully killed you." She said, shocked the girl showed no sign of injury from her ordeal. "Where are your guardians? Are these your guardians?" She sneered, seeing two young women step in front of her target. "My Prince is not pleased with your deception. He requests your presence so we can correct this problem you caused for him."
"You won't lay a hand on her!" Haruka sneered, swiftly lifting her transformation rod. "Uranus Star Power, Make Up!"
"Neptune Star Power, Make Up!" Michiru called out as she and Haruka quickly transformed. Looking over she watched Minako and Makoto quickly lifting their transformation rods.
"Jupiter Star Power, Make Up!"
"Venus Star Power, Make Up!"
Laughing as she watched the four Sailor Senshi surround the girl, Morganite smirked as she raised her hand expelling a large amount of dark energy. Watching the group leap out of the way, she watched the teal haired Sailor Senshi grab the girl shielding her from the blast. "You will not save her this time!" She sneered. "She will be brought to my Prince!"
"We won't let you take her from us!" Sailor Venus shouted, watching Morganite scoff at her before wickedly laughing.
"Then she will watch you die!" Morganite sneered, extending her hand out, roughly blasting the Sailor Senshi back with her attack.
"Sailor Venus!" Usagi shouted, swiftly running to her friend. Gasping when she felt Sailor Uranus firmly grabbing her by the arm, she felt tears shine in her eyes when hearing Sailor Jupiter scream out in pain as she was blasted back next. "This is all my fault." She quietly stated, looking away in shame, as tears streaked her cheeks.
"I was expecting more of a challenge from your Guardians, Princess." Morganite sneered, glaring down at the two standing in front of her. "I thought you had more guardians than this." She jeered.
"She does!" Sailor Mars shouted watching Morganite turn and look at her.
"You're not taking her from us!" Sailor Mercury shouted.
"Mars Flame Sniper!"
"Mercury Shine Rhapsody!"
Easily deflecting the attacks, Morganite smirked as she watched the two Sailor Senshi look up at her in shock. "You're just as weak as the other two!" She scoffed easily blasting then back from the stairs, they were standing near.
"Sailor Mars! Sailor Mercury!" Usagi screamed, as tears streaked her cheeks. "Do something!" She yelled, desperately looking at Sailor Uranus.
"That's what she wants." Sailor Uranus sternly stated. "We are not leaving your side Neko-chan." She snapped.
"Oh my, that must have hurt." Morganite jeered while wickedly laughing at the four injured Sailor Senshi. Seeing the Princess was becoming distraught, she smirked turning her focus on the remaining two Sailor Senshi. "You two are patient, not yet attacking me." She said smirking towards the two.
"We know your tricks." Sailor Uranus jeered. "You will not take our Princess, we have sworn to protect her."
"Where are the Kinmoku Guardians, Princess?" Morganite jeered. "Where is your beloved?" She asked, gently laughing when seeing tears streak the girls face. "They've fled, turned their backs on you, now that you truly need help." She jeered.
"That's not true!" Usagi shouted, clenching her fists in anger.
Wickedly laughing, Morganite smirked knowing she had struck a nerve with the young Princess. "Perhaps it's for the best. Obviously your beloved does not truly care, or she would be here defending you." Seeing the the blonde had tears streaking her cheeks, she watched her shaking her head as she became more distraught. "I suppose in the end everyone will show who they truly are, after-"
"Stop it!" Usagi angrily shouted, as she glared up at Morganite. "He loves me!"
"If you say so." Morganite jeered, wickedly laughing. "I am bored of this waiting, so I will make the first move." She sneered, quickly outstretching her hand and releasing her attack. Noticing the blonde haired Sailor Guardian grab the girl, she noticed the teal haired Senshi leaping the opposite direction. Using the distraction, she swiftly blasted the teal haired Senshi back. Smirking at her cries of pain, she noticed the blonde haired Senshi quickly react.
"Sailor Neptune!" Sailor Uranus shouted, before angrily turning her attention to Morganite.
"World Shaking!"
Watching Sailor Uranus and Morganite begin to battle, Usagi swiftly used the distraction running to where Sailor Neptune lay. "Michiru-chan." She gently stated, kneeling next to her friend. Seeing she was unconscious, she never noticed the sudden presence behind her.
Turning at the sound of Usagi's startled scream, Sailor Uranus swiftly turned and gasped seeing a young man with long silver hair tightly holding Usagi in his grip as she struggled to break free. "Let her go!" She angrily shouted, preparing her attack.
"She belongs to me now." Prince Heliodor smirked, feeling the girl trying to break from his strong hold. "I hope you have said your goodbyes Princess." He jeered as he swiftly vanished.
"Haruka-chan!" Usagi desperately shouted, while reaching out to her Guardian, before she vanished with the Prince.
"Our Prince thanks you for your cooperation." Morganite jeered, before swiftly vanishing.
"Princess!" Sailor Uranus desperately shouted, dropping to her knees as she looked down with shock. "I've failed her, I failed to protect you Neko-chan." She stated in defeat, as tears streaked her cheeks.
Appearing in a poorly lit room, Usagi looked around noticing a throne in the center of the room. Feeling the strong arms releasing her, she swiftly stepped away from her captor. Turning she gasped at how handsome he was, long silver hair stopping at his waist, piercing grey eyes. "Who are you?" She demanded.
"I am Prince Heliodor of the Tengoku Realm." Prince Heliodor stated, bowing to the golden haired beauty standing in front of him. "I know you are the keeper of the the ginzuishou and a Princess. What is your title, your grace?"
"Princess Serenity of the White Moon Kingdom." Usagi said, taking a cautious step away from him when he stepped forward.
"Well Princess Serenity-sama, your beauty has captivated me." Prince Heliodor stated, gently chuckling with amusement as she would step back every time he would step forward. "My adviser has been persistent about me finding a betrothed." He said smiling when hearing her soft gasp. "You will do nicely sitting by my side as Queen."
"I will never marry you." Usagi sternly stated, glaring at the Prince. Gasping when he teleported in front of her, she felt him roughly grabbing her by the chin forcing her to look at him.
"You belong to me now." Prince Heliodor sternly stated, while looking into her cerulean blue eyes. "I possess your ginzuishou, your Guardians do not know where you are, and your beloved-" He said chuckling when he saw tears filling her eyes. "Your beloved, she has turned her back on you, when she left your planet."
"She hasn't turned her back on me." Usagi angrily stated, glaring at him.
"Your beloved will not come for you, you will see." Prince Heliodor stated, before wickedly chuckling. Focusing on his energy, he summoned an amulet and held it up for her to see.
Looking at the dark stone in the amulet, Usagi felt him place the necklace around her neck. Abruptly feeling weak as soon as the necklace was on her, she weakly sighed feeling her strength leaving her as she weakly collapsed. Feeling the Prince catch her in his arms, she watched with fear as he looked down at her with lust.
"You will remain in this state until we reach my Kingdom." Prince Heliodor sternly stated, wickedly chuckling. "I can't have my betrothed trying to escape, before we reach my Kingdom on Helaen."
Unable to move or speak, Usagi could feel tears streak her cheeks as she felt Prince Heliodor lift her into his strong arms. 'Seiya-chan…' She weakly thought, before falling unconscious.
(One Month Later)
Walking up the long winding staircase of the tower, Prince Heliodor smiled with amusement as he neared the door. Opening the large wooden door, he saw his betrothed greet him with the same cold look she would show him everyday he would visit with her. "My dear, you should not look at your future husband with such coldness." He said, chuckling as he walked to the large four post bed.
Sitting down, he heard the rattle of chains as she shifted on the bed to move away from him. Chuckling once more, he calmly laid back onto the bed looking up at the canopy. "I've always found this color soothing." He said looking up at the deep navy blue canopy accented with gold trim. "My mother, it was her favorite color, perhaps that is why it calms me. It makes me remember the few happy memories I have of her, that is before father had her executed." He said glancing over when he heard her soft gasp. .
"That's awful." Usagi softly stated, refusing to look at the Prince.
"She had the same fighting spirit as yours. Thankfully for you, I have better patience than my father did for my mother." Prince Heliodor said, watching her look at him in shock. "If you don't want to suffer the same fate as my mother, you will serve me as a dutiful Queen." He warned, watching tears shine in her eyes as she quickly tore her gaze from his.
"You're so cruel." Usagi softly stated, as tears streaked her cheeks. "I will never be your Queen."
"I don't enjoy seeing you chained up like an animal." Prince Heliodor gently stated, reaching across to caress her arm. Watching her back up against the headboard of the bed to avoid his touches, he smirked as he raised. "You can avoid me now as much as you want Princess." He jeered. "As soon as you become my wife, you will lay with me."
"I'd rather remain your prisoner." Usagi sternly stated, while she angrily looked up at him. Seeing him smirk, she watched him lift the chain as he looked into her eyes before he spoke.
"The chain is only a precaution, I cannot have you escaping before our marriage." Prince Heliodor stated, then chuckled. "You will make a strong Queen, my people have been ravaged with war for as long as I can remember. The ginzuishou you possess, your weapon will give them the hope they need for a better future."
"I will never use the ginzuishou for your evil intentions." Usagi spat, while glaring up at the Prince.
"Once you become my Queen, you will see the state of my Kingdom and its people. You will change your mind, once you see with your own eyes." Prince Heliodor stated, before gently smiling at her. "Your heart is pure, it will be easily persuaded once you see my people truly need you and the ginzuishou."
"Please leave." Usagi tearfully pleaded. "Just leave me alone." She begged as she quietly began to weep.
"As you wish Princess Serenity-sama." Prince Heliodor stated, raising from the bed. Reaching out, he watched her flinch back once more as he gently caressed her cheek. "I'm looking forward to our wedding night. In a matter of days, you will be mine and I will yours." He said, watching in amusement as tears began to streak her cheeks.
Watching him walk out of the room, Usagi quickly buried her face in her hands as she heart brokenly wept. 'I'm never going to see my friends again.' She sadly thought, knowing she had given Haruka orders to not pursue her. 'Seiya-chan, will you search for me when you return to Earth?' She worriedly thought. 'Or have you truly turned your back on me?'
Smirking at the sound of her muffled sobs through the closed door, Prince Heliodor turned and walked down the winding staircase to return to the throne room. 'She will submit to me, she will soon learn this is now her home.' He thought with determination.
Walking into the throne room, Prince Heliodor noticed Morganite and his adviser were silently waiting for his return. Noticing Morganite smirking about something, as he passed his General, he smirked before speaking. "What is on your mind Morganite-san?" He asked, watching her turn her curious gaze towards him.
"Any change with the Princess, sire?" Morganite curiously asked, smiling when her Prince chuckled with amusement as he sat on his throne.
"She's starting to lose that fire in her fight, I knew in time her will would be broken." Prince Heliodor said gently chuckling before he continued to speak. "She's losing hope that her beloved will come to her rescue, just as I suspected, she did not disappoint me." He said with amusement. Sitting on the ornately carved throne, he glanced over at his adviser noticing he was patiently waiting to speak. "What news do you bring Kharis?" He demanded.
"The Hamal Kingdom and the Sheratan Kingdom will be attending the ceremony to witness your marriage to the White Moon Princess." Kharis patiently stated, noticing his Prince becoming impatient. "The Mesarthim Kingdom is hesitant to attend due to the recent conflict with the Sheratan Kingdom."
"What of the pompous King of Arietes?" Prince Heliodor asked, clenching his fist at the thought of his nemesis.
"He fears it's a trap, and has respectfully declined the invitation." Kharis calmly stated, watching his Prince nod his head with acknowledgment.
"How are the preparations for the ceremony?" Prince Heliodor asked smirking. "I'm ready to lay with my bride-to-be."
"Everything will be ready for the ceremony. In three days time, you will be King and you will have your Queen by your side." The adviser stated. "You will need to produce a son to secure your bloodline on the throne."
"That will not be a problem." Prince Heliodor smugly stated before chuckling. 'Perhaps a child is what she will need, to ensure she does not flee.' He thought, smiling at the thought of sharing a bed with the White Moon Princess.
(Three Days Later)
Feeling tears streaking her cheeks as the small ornate silver crown was placed atop her head by the priest as he recited his blessing, Usagi tightly closed her eyes trying to control her urge to run. Opening her eyes, she tearfully watched as the priest began reciting a prayer uniting her and Prince Heliodor as husband and wife, as he placed the larger ornate crown atop Prince Heliodor's head.
"To all who has bared witness to this day of union, I present to you King Heliodor-sama and Queen Serenity-sama of Helaen."
Tightly closing her eyes as Prince Heliodor leaned in, she felt his hand gently caress her cheek before he gently pressed his lips against hers. Surprised at how soft and innocent the kiss was, she was expecting his kiss to be more forceful and commanding. Opening her eyes as he gently pulled away, she heard the room full of dignitaries applaud at the conclusion of their ceremony. Watching King Heliodor stand as their lips parted, Serenity reluctantly took his hand allowing him to help her stand.
Keeping her gaze down to avoid his gaze, Queen Serenity felt him link his arm with hers, as they walked down the aisle towards the large mahogany double doors. Noticing the intricate details carved in the doors, she watched two guards step forward pushing the doors open allowing them to exit. "Where are we going?" She quietly asked, as they stepped through the two doors.
"To the Great Hall where we will feast and meet with the other dignitaries from the visiting Kingdoms." Prince Heliodor calmly said watching his bride silently nod her head. "You look beautiful my Queen." He said looking at the elaborate silver and black gown that clung nicely to her curves. Her long golden hair spilled around her, swaying slightly with each step as they walked down the hall. "You will wear your hair either down or in the traditional Helaen braid. I will allow you to choose for yourself my Queen."
Silently nodding her head, Serenity gasped when they abruptly stopped. Feeling him suddenly press his lips against hers, she felt tears streak her cheeks as he deepened the kiss. Watching him smirk as their lips parted, she felt him gently rest his hand against her cheek once more as he brushed his thumb across her lips as he spoke.
"After the feast, I will have you sent to our bedchambers and have you prepared for me." King Heliodor huskily stated, brushing his thumb against her soft lips. "I will be there shortly afterwards." He said, gently brushing the tears from her cheeks. "I want to show you my Queen, I'm not the monster you think I am." He said, gently running his hand down her bare arm. Feeling her soft shudder under his touch, he watched her tearfully look up into his eyes. "You are mine, and I am yours." He gently stated. "We are King and Queen, our people need us now more than ever, and you my Queen, you will help your people be free of the tyranny of the Arietes." He said happily smiling. "I want to prove to my people that I am not my father, that I am a better ruler, an honorable King."
Tearfully looking up into his eyes, Serenity could see genuine care in his eyes as he gently caressed her cheek brushing her tears away. Shocked by his words, she could see the determination in his eyes and hear the truth in his voice as he spoke of being a better King to his Kingdom. Staying silent as he spoke, she felt him soon link his arms with hers, as they silently walked down the hall once more, soon entering the Great Hall. Seeing the large feast awaiting them, she looked in awe at all the food, looking at him when she heard his soft chuckle.
"I hope you're hungry my Queen." King Heliodor stated, seeing the surprised look on his bride's face.
Feeling the dark red liquid burn her throat as she took a sip from her crystalline goblet, Serenity could feel her stomach nervously twist noticing her husband usher a guard forward. 'I have to get out of here.' She desperately thought. 'I won't let him touch me.' She thought fearfully.
Watching the guard walk forwards then bow, King Heliodor motioned towards his Queen before speaking. "I want my wife escorted to our bedchambers. You will remain in the room, another guard placed outside the room." He said, then briefly glanced towards his Queen smiling with amusement. "I do not want her getting cold feet and trying to flee on our wedding night." He said, watching the guard nod, then silently walk over to where his Queen sat beside him.
"Your grace." The guard ushered, watching the young Queen tearfully nod her head before she silently stood.
Silently standing, Serenity could feel her stomach nervously twist when feeling King Heliodor gently take her by the hand before she walked away. Feeling him gently kiss the back of her hand, she watched him smile up at her before he spoke.
"I will be there shortly my Queen, your handmaiden should be there to prepare you." King Heliodor gently stated, watching his Queen tearfully nod her head.
"Yes my King." Serenity softly stated, a stray tear streaking her cheek.
Watching his Queen quietly follow the guard from the Great Hall, King Heliodor smiled as he lifted his wine to his lips taking a sip. Holding his drink for a moment longer, he soon brought the drink to his lips drinking the remaining wine of the goblet. Motioning one of the servants forward, he watched as the young woman quickly walked forward quickly filling his goblet with more wine. Waving her away with a quick motion of his hand, he watched in amusement as one of his guests was trying to make advancements towards one of the younger prettier servants. 'I'd rather be in my bedchambers with my Queen, then with these pests entertaining them.' He thought with irritation, bringing the goblet to his lips once more.
Passing a guard posted outside a large ornately carved door, Queen Serenity watched the two guards silently nod to one another as the door was opened for her to enter. Walking into the Kings bedchambers, Serenity looked at the room in awe seeing the vast amount of space in the room. Seeing a large four post bed in the center of the room, she noticed the bed was identical to hers only larger. Quickly taking notice of two balcony doors, she smiled when seeing the sheer white curtains blowing from the cool breeze. 'The doors are open.' She thought with hope.
"Your grace." A soft feminine voice stated. Noticing the Queen jump at the sound of her voice, she gently smiled before speaking. "Please forgive me, I didn't mean to startle you." She said then motioned to the bed. "The King has left this gown for you to change into." She said pointing to the soft blue gown. Watching her Queen look at the garment, she watched in surprise as the Queen silently shook her head.
"I refuse to wear it, he is not touching me." Queen Serenity sternly stated, then turned hearing the guard chuckle.
Taken aback by the Queens words, the young handmaiden gently cleared her throat before speaking. "My Queen, it is your wedding night, you are expected to lay with the King."
"I said I will not lay with him." Queen Serenity sternly stated. "I will be out on the balcony, do not disturb me." She commanded, unsure if they would listen to her. Quickly walking towards the balcony doors, she felt tears streak her cheeks as she stepped outside into the cool breeze. Wiping the tears from her cheeks, she shakily sighed as she buried her face in her hands and quietly wept. Hearing soft footsteps step onto the balcony, she knew the guard was standing watch over her to ensure she would not escape.
(One Hour Later)
Turning at the sound of the door opening, the guard swiftly bowed watching his King frown as he silently entered the room.
"Where is she?" King Heliodor angrily demanded. "Why is she not prepared for me?"
"Sh- She refuses to leave the balcony sire." The guard nervously stammered, motioning towards the balcony where he was standing guard.
"You incompetent fool, leave!" King Heliodor angrily sneered, watching the guard quickly bow before scurrying out of the royal bedchambers. Turning his attention towards the balcony door, he angrily walked to the balcony doors drawing the curtains back as he stepped onto the balcony. Seeing his bride abruptly stand as he stepped out onto the balcony, he smirked at the fierce look of determination that shone in her eyes. "Why have you refused to prepare for our union?" He angrily demanded.
"I told you I would not-" Crying out in pain as King Heliodor suddenly struck her, Serenity carefully touched her stinging cheek as she tearfully looked at her husband.
"Your beloved has turned her back on you." King Heliodor sneered. "The Kinmoku Guardian is not coming for you Serenity-sama." He sneered noticing tears streaking her cheeks. "Give up this hopeless delusion that you will be rescued."
"Hope is the only thing I have left." Serenity tearfully stated, as she felt more tears beginning to streak her cheeks.
"You fool, no one knows you're here." King Heliodor jeered. "No one will ever come to your rescue, you will see." Roughly grabbing her by the arm, he ignored her pleads as he pulled her the direction of the bedroom. "Remove your gown." He demanded, watching her shake her head in defiance. Striking her once more, he smirked as her small frame shook with tears as she began to undress.
Feeling the silver and black wedding gown drop to the floor, Queen Serenity's shoulders shook as she bitterly cried. Covering her exposed breasts with her arms, she kept her gaze down feeling the King's eyes on her. Tightly closing her eyes at the rustle of King Heliodor's armor being removed, she flinched feeling his hand reach out and usher her arms down away from her covered breasts. Complying to avoid being struck again, Queen Serenity kept her gaze averted as she felt him move closer towards her. Feeling her stomach nervously twist as his nude body pressed against hers, she blushed as she nervously looked up at him. "Please." She tearfully begged.
"Am I your first to lay with, my Queen?" King Heliodor curiously asked. Watching her tearfully nod her head, he smiled realizing why his Queen was so fearful. Feeling his anger for her defiance quickly resolved, he gently cupped her chin into his hand as he tilted her chin up looking into her tear filled eyes. "Don't worry my Queen, I will be gentle with you as long as you don't fight back." He softly stated. Feeling her lips quiver as his lips pressed against hers, he gently ushered her back onto the bed, their bodies pressing against one another. "You are my wife and my Queen, your heart belongs to me now." He gently stated, as their lips parted. Pressing his lips against hers once more, he heard her pained gasp as he began to make love to her.
(The Following Morning)
Lying towards the edge of the bed, Serenity blinked her tears back as she watched the curtains of the balcony doors sway back and forth from the gentle breeze. Tensing when she felt Heliodor move, she softly sighed in relief knowing he was only moving in his sleep. 'Seiya-chan.' She desperately thought, as tears began to streak her cheeks. 'Why did you leave me, why did you not fight to stay with me?' She heart brokenly thought. 'Do you truly not love me?' She bitterly thought, as she quietly wept.
Waking to the sound of soft sniffles, Heliodor smiled as he looked at the golden haired beauty lying next to him. Stretching his arms, he rolled onto his side, gently wrapping one of his arms around his wife. Feeling her tense under his touch, he gently ushered her nude body against his. Brushing her hair back from her face, he gently kissed along her jawline, slowly making his way down her neck. "Lie on your back." He commanded, watching her comply and tearfully look at him.
Lying on her back as she was commanded, Serenity could feel his hands beginning to explore her body as he continued to trail soft kisses down her neck. Tightly closing her eyes when she felt him pressing his nude body press against hers, she soon winced at the discomfort as he slid into her. Hearing his soft groans of pleasure as he gently and carefully thrusted into her, soon feeling him lace his fingers with hers as he began to increase his movements. Wincing as he became more forceful with his thrusts, she felt tears streak her cheeks as his other hand cupped her breast. Feeling him crush his lips against hers, muffling her cries of discomfort she felt him soon tiredly collapse against her.
"You're so intoxicating my Queen." Heliodor stated, resting his head against her chest while listening to the gentle beats of her heart. "I apologize for not giving you much respite last night, I know you've had some discomfort." He said, watching her turn her head and tearfully look into his gaze. Gently getting off her, he turned on his side and rested his hand on her flat stomach. "We are expected to conceive within our first month of marriage." He said hearing her soft gasp. "I must have an heir since I am now King, only a son will be able to inherit the throne."
"What if I cannot give you a son?" Serenity softly asked.
"We will conceive again after you have healed from giving birth, and if you fail to provide an heir the second time, then I will wed again. From there, I will see if my second wife will provide me with an heir." Heliodor softly stated, seeing her surprised look. "I do not want this to happen, so I am hopeful you will provide me a son."
"What will happen to me if I cannot provide you a son?" Serenity asked, hopeful he would free her.
"You will remain as the Queen regent, you will become responsible for your own duties assigned to you." Heliodor said, then gently chuckled at the slight frown on her face. "You're not going to be free of me, my Queen." He stated with amusement. "You will remain on Helaen with me until the end of your days." He said, watching her avert her gaze and look away from him.
(Six Weeks Later)
Wrapping her arms around her queasy stomach, Serenity watched her husband nervously pace the room of the exam room. Hearing a gentle knock, she watched the royal physician quietly enter the room and smile before bowing.
"Sire, your grace." The royal physician politely stated, as he gently shut the door. Noticing his King was agitated, and the Queen was calm, he smiled knowing the Queen had brought out a softer side in the King, almost reminding him of the King's late mother.
"Well?" King Heliodor asked with impatience, watching the royal physician smile as he nodded his head.
"She is with child." The royal physician stated, watching the King happily smile as he walked to his Queen pressing his lips against hers.
"When will I know the gender?" Serenity softly asked, watching her husband smile at her question before chuckling.
"You will know on the day the child is born." King Heliodor stated, watching his Queen look at him in surprise. "Let us celebrate, we will soon be parents." He said, gently offering his wife his hand. Walking out of the exam room, he smiled as he noticed her nervous demeanor as they walked down the palace halls. "If we have a son he will be named Heliodor." He said, then smirked. "If we have a daughter, you will provide her name."
"Yes my King." Serenity softly stated, as she nervously rested her hand on her stomach once more. 'I'm having a baby.' She thought with both fear and excitement. Glancing back as they walked down the hall, Queen Serenity gently smiled seeing Tourmaline, her personal Guardian quietly following behind them. Seeing him raise his brow in question, she gently nodded her head watching him smile at her confirmation of her pregnancy. 'He's my only friend here. I don't know what I would do without him.' She thought as she turned her gaze forward once more.
