Part 7 – Her Argument with the Lord
The Lord looked really pissed, Ai was kind of scared. She thought to herself, 'What have I done? This is horrible…' She got up and started running away from him, she heard him shout something; before she knew it she saw the guards after her. She wasn't trying to escape, she just wanted to get away from the Lord, and he had been really creepy lately.
But what was she supposed to do? Let him do whatever he wants? If she did do that her first kiss and her virginity would probably be gone by now. Ai was running as fast as she could, and the two guards were after her. She wished that she could run faster; kind of like how she did that one time when she was first running away from the guards.
The guards were catching up to her fast, what was she to do now? There is no way she could out-run the guards at this speed, was she going to get caught? Ai was out of breath, she could barely run anymore. She wasn't exactly running; her run seemed to turn into a jog.
The guards managed to catch up to her; they each grabbed on to one of her arms. Ai didn't even bother to struggle; she was too out of breath. That's when the Lord walked up to them. "You have gone way too far this time, Ai." The Lord faced the guards.
"Take her back to my room."
"Yes sir." The guards headed towards the Lord's room, following after the Lord.
After a short amount of time, they all reached the Lord's room. Ai thought to herself, 'Why his room?' Then the guards passed Ai to the Lord and left. The Lord took Ai into his room. Then the Lord spoke, "Now Ai, you are going to pay me back for all of the poor deeds that you have done." Ai sat on the floor and stretched.
"And how am I supposed to do that?"
"You don't exactly have to do anything." Ai looked at him weird.
"Alright then, what was the point of that?"
Ai was confused; she had no idea what he was talking about. He said that she was going to pay him back, but by doing nothing? She didn't understand at all. What was he trying to say?
Ai noticed that it was late; she had to get out of here. Tomorrow she was going to get married to the Lord. She could not let that happen. Ai looked up at the Lord with confusion written all over her face, she had so many questions. Then the Lord spoke, "You are so slow Ai, you should have caught on by now."
Then the Lord grabbed onto her arm and pulled her to her feet. "Then what do you mean?" Ai pulled her arm away after she was standing.
"Maybe you aren't doing anything, but what about me?" Ai gasped.
"And what are you going to do?"
"Well, we are getting married tomorrow."
"And…?"
Ai was positive about what he was talking about, but she did not want to admit it. The thought scared her, why could it have been someone better? Someone she loved? Though, there wasn't anyone she loved, but still. She might fall in love someday, she did not love the Lord, and she wished that it could be someone else right now. Or she would be happy if it wasn't even happening at all.
Ai backed away after what he said, she did not feel comfortable being very close to him at the moment, though she backed up a bit too much and she ended up having her back pushed up against a wall, which was kind of worse in her opinion.
Ai thought that she might be able to trick him; she put on a sleepy expression, and then let out a yawn. "I'm kind of tired… Can we talk about this later? I can't understand you too well at the moment." The Lord looked irritated,
"Are you sure Ai? You seemed perfectly fine a moment ago…" He looked suspicious.
"Yeah, I'm sure…"
"Well, I'm not so sure, I think your lying."
"Oh, so you don't trust me?"
"Not really."
Ai looked irritated; she wasn't pulling it off too well, what could she do? Then the Lord spoke again, "You're a horrible actor Ai, you don't look tired at all." Ai's expression looked shocked,
"Can I please just go to bed? I do not want to go through whatever you are trying to do, and it is late! So just leave me alone!"
"You are not going to bed until I am tired as well."
"And when will that be?"
"When I'm finished with you."
Ai looked really shocked, she knew what he meant by that. But she tried to ask herself what it meant to try and make her think it meant something else. She was really scared right now, what would end up happening?
"You aren't going to lay a finger on me oh, mighty Lord! You got that!" Ai screamed at him, she said it without thinking, she really did not want this to be an experience for her, and she just wanted to go back to the forest and see Mahkio, and live a life of freedom. Not be stuck married to the Lord and live the rest of her youth in misery.
