A United Front
Chapter One
The sun rose leisurely, breaking free of the land and rising to take its regal place amongst the blue skies and fluffy white clouds. It had no worried or no cares, it just rose and set everyday.
The young woman sat on her perch in the palace garden and watched the tranquil beauty of it.
Today was her eighteenth birthday, but she did not feel like celebrating. As per usual her mind was not her own. It wandered through her imagination to a land where only happiness reigned.
Sighing she shifted slightly her full skirt swinging in the early morning breeze. She watched the orange and the reds mingle as dawn approached and wished for a better existence.
Surveying the wall, which she could see clearly from her vintage point she looked expectantly towards the city beyond its limitations
If only she could go there to pick the beautiful flowers her mother so often talked of back in the time where the kingdom of Lenox and Lennon knew only peace and harmony.
She imagined what her father would say if he was here now. She felt pain in her heart at the thought of him. Not a day went by when he wasn't in her heart.
King Edward had been killed by a stray landmine planted by the Gorgon (her nickname for the wall).
He had been going to cross the threshold into Lennon territory and attempt to re-in-act the peace treaties. It was however not meant to be and the favoured King had died instantly.
The early rays of light reflected on the solitary tear that shed unashamedly down her pale cheeks.
The silver hair now flowed freely curling as the wind picked up speed and caressed it with invisible hands. Smoky blue eyes sparkled as more tears shimmered within their depths, but she would not cry. Would not taint the beauty of her surroundings with her tears of grievance.
Sighing she swung her legs; she longed to be free of the chains that bound her so tightly. She wanted fun and adventure mystery and above all else she wanted romance.
She was wild spirited and she had grown so restless confined to her kingdom alone. But if she asked to leave she knew that her mother would never allow it she, being her only daughter.
She frowned, her feather light brows creasing the beauty of her face. That was another reason she could not leave, she was the only companion her mother had.
The death of the king had taken a large toll on the queen. Serenity had withdrawn into herself living only for her daughter.
But she knew that her mother secretly longed for the day when she could be reunited in the arms of her husband.
"Serena" a voice resounded off the courtyard walls and she sighed. She should have known that her maid and friend Molly would dissolve her peace.
Slipping down she smoothed out her hair and dress barely having time to fix a smile on her sun kissed lips before Molly was upon her.
"My Lady your mother beacons you," she said slowly and Serena grimaced. She should have known that her mother would want to see her, and she had a sneaky suspicion why as well.
"It's about Prince Andrew isn't it" she said at last causing Molly to nod. Serena inwardly cursed "when is my mother going to understand that nothing can become between us, I've known him for far too long........... It would be like marrying my own brother" she finished lightly.
Molly flushed a little at such a thought and Serena laughed such a magical sound. "Go tend to my mother and tell her I will meet with her shortly." Molly curtseyed and moved to carry out the orders of her princess.
Princess god how Serena had grown to hate that word, how she longed to be something else.
Her restless spirit longed for something more, it longed to just for one day not have to bare the responsibility of her heritage.
It longed for release.
"Oh god that feels so good" The small brunette pouted up at him her full lips beaconing him in for a sultry kiss.
His stormy blue eyes settled on her face as he tried to recall her name, his silky black bangs fell into his eyes giving him a more sensual appeal. He oozed sex, it radiated off him in waves rendering all subjected to it totally helpless.
The woman went wild beneath him as he moved within her, and through it all Darien didn't even think of her.
This just felt so empty but it was his escape. Sex he had found was something that could be used to fill the void he often felt but now even that had lost its charm.
Feeling himself reach the brink long minutes after she'd reached hers he called out and emptied himself, collapsing heavily upon her moist body.
He felt his eyes begin to droop and within seconds he was asleep leaving the whore at his side feeling shocked.
Climbing from the bed she scooped up her clothes, sending a hostile glance at the man slumbering in the bed she beat a hasty retreat humiliated at the fact that she had bored him to sleep.
After hearing the click of the door he opened his eyes, thank god she had left. He didn't want her going through a list of his virtues and how much pleasure he'd brought her body.
People always tended to suck up to him because of his status I mean how many women would love to brag that they had been ravished by the crown prince.
A small chuckle escaped past his sculptured lips and he ran his hand through his tousled dark hair.
His mother would not have approved of his lifestyle. He felt the familiar emptiness clamp on his chest as he thought of his deceased mother. She had been so young when a bullet had ended her life, an assassination attempt on his father, which had ultimately ended his young mother's life.
Burrowing deeper into the pillow he pondered what to do with the day, it was only early morn and he knew that his father would not yet be up, preferring to spend his night drinking till late and sleeping his life away.
After his mother had died his father had hit the bottle badly and although Darien had tried it seemed that nothing would bring him back from the brink.
Turning to look out of his window he saw the looming stone face of Big White (his childhood nickname for the wall).
He hated the stupid thing that separated the two kingdoms. He missed the peace that had once been between the two kingdoms.
He remembered his trip to Lenox palace it had been just as grand as the one he lived in now. It had been the birth of Serena, Queen Serenity and King Edwards's daughter. His present to her had been a locket; she would have been betrothed to him.
But as it had turned out fate it seemed had another plan in mind.
He swung his feet out of bed and rested them on the cold floor, his father would not be in to bother him, and he would probably be stretched out on the floor somewhere after one of his favoured boozing sessions.
Pulling on a pair of pants and a loose shirt he slipped on his riding boots and exited the room.
He'd taken all of two paces when a voice halted him. "My Lord I see you awake at last" Darien smiled and turned to look at his friend and charge Chad.
"I didn't want to waste the morning in bed" he replied heading towards the stables with Chad hot on his heels. "Will you be wishing me to ready your mount for you My Lord?" Chad asked and Darien shook his head.
"No thank you I am quite able to do it myself Chad, when my father alights do tell him that I am out riding and will not be returning until dusk" he added causing Chad to frown.
"By My Lord he will be worried" he replied and Darien laughed lightly before swinging up into the saddle. "The day my father decides to worry about me is the day that there will be peace again between our two kingdoms" he said stretching his hand out towards the wall.
"It may come sooner than you think My Lord" Chad said as he saw a red- headed woman running towards him.
"Molly so good to see you again" Chad whispered catching her in a warm embrace.
"It is all set" Molly said wrapping her slim arms about his waist.
She looked up into his eyes a small smile lit her lips. "Will this work?" she asked him and he returned her smile with one of his own.
He thought about Lady Serena her astounding beauty and smiled even wider. "I know it will" he replied!
This is my first Sailor Moon Fiction so please be nice. I hope that you all enjoy it and review if you can, I'll try not to keep you in suspense and will update as often as I can
