Mid-Evil Love
By: Neko Maxwell
Soldiers marched forward. Their heavy armor weighing down on their beat and bloody bodies. They heard shouts in the distance. They received their orders to attack from their noble King and they did. They fought bravely with their fists and swords. Many of them fell, but the strong kept going.
"This is it," sad the King. "The battle to decide the end of this war."
It seemed hopeless, however one soldier defied all odds and managed to remain in the fight. He knocked down all enemies in his path and paved the way for the rest of the soldiers behind him. His cobalt blue eyes shone like sapphires in the darkness. With him and all the other soldiers, the war was won. Light had finally managed to overcome the darkness that showered them for so long. The soldier lifted his ice hot gaze to the sky and thanked God the war is finally over.
*****************************************************************
The year is 1487 and the kingdom of Duloc is in a time of peace. The war that had lasted ten years is now over and the people are in a time of celebration. King George Maxwell and his wife Queen Joelle are finally able to enjoy their upper-class life with their son, Duo. To celebrate the end of the war, the Maxwell's are going to hold a grand ball for the noble men and noble women of Duloc. Letters that were sent read:
People of Duloc,
it is with great pleasure that we announce the end of the
Ten-Years War. In celebration of this event,
the King and Queen wish that you attend our celebration ball
that is to be held in the fortnight.
"The people have never been so happy. I'm just thankful to God for his gift of peace," Queen Joelle stated as they received replies to their invitations.
"Yes," replied the King. "Now we may focus on our kingdom and our wonderful people. Don't you think so my son?"
"Yes father," Duo replied, not really listening. He occupied himself with the planning to listen to his father.
George smiled, admiring his son's dedication to his duties as crown prince of Duloc. He thought it best not to distract him any longer.
*****************************************************************
The afternoon of the ball finally arrived. The Queen was is her room getting ready for the grand event. Prince Duo was getting some last-minute things ready for that night when his father walked in.
"Son, may I speak with you for a minute?"
"One minute. I'm almost finished!"
When Duo had finished his task, he went over to his father to see what he wanted.
"I am very proud of you, son," the King told Duo
"Aww, come on father! Don't start making a scene here! Not in front of everyone!" Duo joked.
The King chuckled. "I have something for you because you're the perfect heir to my throne!" An ear-to-ear grin appeared on Duo's face.
"I think I know what it is! Is it my own personal servant?"
"You know, your instincts really amaze me son! His name is Heero Yuy. He is waiting for his first order from you in your chamber."
Somehow, Duo's grin got wider with every word from his fathers mouth.
"Much thanks father!!!!!!" Duo dashed straight for his new servant.
He thought that getting his own servant was a big enough surprise, but he was wrong. Not even his keen instincts could have predicted what he saw when he walked into his room...
Duo's face had turned from an ear-to-eat grin to complete shock. He stood frozen at his doorway, staring at the person standing in the middle of his large chambers. His body didn't respond to his commands as he stood breathing heavily where he was.
:: Damn, I never expected this! A drop-dead-gorgeous creature right in the middle of my room! Who could ask for more?!::
Duo took a step forward and the servant turned around.
"Heero Yuy, I presume," said Duo, loving the sound of that name. Heero stood upright, his sapphire eyes looked directly into the glittering purple eyes of his new master. Chunks of dark-brown hair fell into his eyes a bit, the rest of it back and a little messy, but that only enhanced his face. His slender, but very muscular body was angle directly towards Duo.
"Yes master," Heero's voice sent a chill down Duo's back and his palms sweat. No one had ever made the Prince feel this way before. "What is my first order, master?" Heero asked with no emotion in his voice.
Duo gathered his courage to calm down and speak to him. "Were you in the army?" he asked, noticing the use of the word "order."
Heero nodded. "I fought for Duloc in the war.
Duo was very confused. "So how did you end up here?"
"No money to pay taxes."
"Oh now I understand: Instead of throwing you in jail, you were given to me!" he said, no longer confused.
"Yes," Heero said coldly. The low temperature in Heero's voice didn't kill Duo's high sprit.
"Well, what do you say we get ready for the ball now that we know each other a little better!" Duo said, suddenly realizing that he was supposed to be getting ready.
"Yes your highness," the chill in Heero's voice lifted for some reason. Duo smiled as they got ready for that evening.
