And again I'm back, sorry for l8 update, my aunt had a wedding. I'm still not getting as many reviews, but thanks to all of you who have reviewed.
Sheena was now talking in a private room, talking to her grandfather. With help from Sheena, Lloyd had told the King of Mizuho everything that had happened, well, except for their romantic sessions that is. He thanked him for taking such good care of her granddaughter. Sheena had told Lloyd to keep himself busy whilst she had a talk with the King about their relationship. He said he was gonna do some training.
"I must say I'm not overly happy with your decision," the King started, "I'd much prefer you to choose one of noble blood, like the Duke of Meltokio's son."
"Duke Wilder's son is a damn pervert," she replied angrily, "in his last visit he tried to peep on me in the shower and take a picture."
"Be that as it may, the boy you chose is no noble. I knew that this would end like this, you finding someone you could really connect to at that school. Why him? What has he offered you?"
"True love! He loves me FOR me. Not for my body or my authority. I can't even count the times he's forgotten I'm a princess."
"Sheena be reasonable." He tried to calm her down, "Our laws say the heir must only marry a noble. Which, as I've said, he's not."
"There's nothing saying I can't date him, or love him. I just won't marry anyone else. If I can't have him I won't marry."
The King was in shock. He'd never heard his granddaughter be so aggressive, or determined, not since her parents died. She must really love him to go against Mizuho laws. "Well I suppose you want us to find a room for him? In the castle I mean."
"No, he needs medical attention right now."
"Are you sure?" he asked looking out the window, "From what I see, he's in top form,"
Sheena went to the window to look out at the field. To her astonishment, Lloyd was swinging his swords around with immense power and speed. Looking closer, she saw one of the expheres attached to the back of his hand.
"Grandfather?" Sheena asked hopefully, "Can I ask for a favour?"
"Certainly." He replied, "What is it?"
"I need a weapon, I wanna train with Lloyd."
To her surprise, he smiled and automatically said, "I know just the thing, wait here."
Five minutes later, he returned, with a black box. "This was your mother's, she specialised in it. She wanted me to give it to you when the time came."
Sheena took the box and opened it. Inside, was a blood red short sword, black leather covering the handle. "It's...it's..." she didn't know what to say, but there was only one word to describe it, "beautiful, thanks Grandpa." She hugged him, then placed the blade into its black scabbard, and ran towards the gate to the field where Lloyd was. On the way, she attached the exsphere that she held on to, to the back of her left hand.
"Good luck my grandchild, your mother thought it was beautiful too." He said to himself.
Sheena arrived outside to see Lloyd still going at it, he hadn't notice her arrive yet. Instead of letting her presence known, she decided to just watch Lloyd for a while. She really noticed how majestic he looked when he moved, how handsome he looked in this light, and how skilled he was with the twin swords.
Lloyd had just performed a horizontal slash when he finally noticed Sheena. He stared lovingly into her eyes, whilst still noticing the beauty of her face. "Hey," he said sheepishly, "how did your talk go?"
"Fairly effective, I think." She replied, then without warning, she unsheathed her blade and charged.
Lloyd only just raised his swords in time to block the attack. He would've started asking questions, but he noticed her evil grin, she was sparing against him. He jumped back to free his swords and charged to slash both swords horizontally.
Sheena easily ducked and raised her short sword to his throat, "Well that was fast." She laughed, "I expected better."
Lloyd laughed, "Ok, ok, let me go and I'll try harder this time."
"Oh I don't know, I kind of like having you at my mercy like this." She raised her head and kissed him lustfully, whilst still holding the blade to his throat. She smiled evilly.
Lloyd's mind was racing with thoughts of what she might make him do, but tried to shake them off when they got a bit too pleasant for him. "Oh come on, please." He pleaded, "Give me another try, I wasn't expecting you to be that good."
Sheena gave him a quick kiss, then said, "Oh all right, it's fun beating you." And lowered her short sword.
He laughed as he moved away, "You won't beat me again. This time I won't hold back."
"Bring it on!" And they both charged.
They both had a lot of fun, there was lots of swinging, blocking, ducking, dodging, jumping, and, when they got any available chances, quick kisses. It was also a laugh when a soldier out patrolling tried to interfere, thinking they were really fighting to kill. Finally, Lloyd managed to grab Sheena around the waist with one arm, and with the other, held a sword to her throat. Their exspheres were doing their job.
"Gotcha!" he yelled gleefully, "I told you I'd win!"
"Well done Lloyd." She said seductively, "Now if you'll let me go I'll give you your prize."
He blushed, "S-Sure." But as he was letting go of her, a sharp blow hit him in the back of the head, and he fell on the floor unconscious.
"LLOYD!" yelled a distressed Sheena.
"Never fear my voluptuous princess," started a masculine and very proud voice, "the great Zelos Wilder, son of Duke Wilder of Meltokio, is here to save..."
SMACK! "YOU IDIOT!" SMACK! "HOW DARE YOU..." SMACK! "KNOCK HIM OUT!" SMACK!
"Ouch!" Zelos yelled in pain, "Why are you hurting me? Shouldn't you be thanking me greatly for saving you?"
"Ok, in that order; because you just knocked out my boyfriend, and you didn't save me, we were sparing." He could tell she was furious, but was shocked at these words.
"BOYFRIEND? That runt's your boyfriend?"
SMACK! "He's not a runt, he could easily beat you!"
"So why is he the one out cold?"
She blushed, "Because...Because his attention was all on me ok!"
"Lady Sheena!" yelled a guard's voice, "What's wrong, I heard shouting?"
"Take this man away!" yelled Sheena at the guard, "To the dungeon!"
"WHAT!" yelled a shocked Zelos, "You can't do that! I'm the Duke's son!"
"Yes but the Duke's son can be arrested, only the Duke can't." Said Sheena, matter-of-factly. "And gag him whilst you're at it!" she said as an after-thought, before he could argue some more.
The guard did so and took him away. Sheena then picked up Lloyd and carried him to her room, 'Man these exspheres have a lot of uses.' She thought to herself. 'Beating someone senseless and carrying an unconscious, 12 stone boy up 3 flights of stairs.'
Meanwhile, in the dungeon...
"Zelos, you have a visitor" said a guard through the bars of his cell. In walked a woman with long green hair, in red armour, an evil smile on her face.
"My, my, my, ain't we a pretty one." Zelos flirted, "Is this gorgeous babe gonna spring me out?"
"How you like both that and the girl who sent you in here?" she asked
"Huh?"
"If you help us to...acquire something, we will give you the girl as a reward."
Catching on, Zelos asked, "Can I do what I wish with her?"
"Anything your perverted mind desires."
"I'm in."
"Good."
Well there you have it. Hope you enjoyed. Please keep reviewing.
