Chapter 2

It continued till I was sold on a thousand garland gargoyle. Which was a lot.

It was a fat disgusting man, almost drunk who passed an evil smile to me. I couldn't even fathom what he would want to do with me.

A shiver ran down my spine.

Just as I was about to be handed to him Prince Arthur appeared out of thin air.

"I thought I told you general, that you are not to sell her off"

"But she's our war spoil sire!"

"I will not hear anymore"

"But sire-"

I heard a sickening voice as I saw the man fall limp on the ground.

I looked up horrified.

The king stood there with a huge grin on his face.

"No one mouths off with my son"

"That wasn't necessary Father."

"Don't argue with me son"

"Yes sire."

They both walked away.

Only then did I realize Arthur dragging me with him.

"Let me go!" I struggled.

Soon I had to give up because neither was he letting me go neither was he listening to a word I was saying.

Soon we reached the castle by Arthur dragging me with his super speed.

The king spoke this time "arrangements to make you crown prince have been made. Join me when you're done with her.' He eyed me seductively.

I had a bad feeling about this.

"Yes sire" Arthur replied.

The king departed with that.

We walked in silence.

Soon we entered a huge room which I suppose belongs to this prince.

The theme color seemed golden and red. It gave a very royal affect to the room.

I didn't pay much attention to the details as I concentrated on what he was saying. I don't now why but it was hard to pay attention.

"There will be a ceremony tonight and since you're my slave you will accompany me" he said in the most boring manner.

Before I could say something else, he added "I'm sure you have battle wounds to tend to, jenny will help you"

As if on queue a young women entered and beckoned me to come. "She will also explain your duties for tomorrow. Learn them by heart." He sounded strict, and by the sounds of it I wouldn't want to disobey his command.

I nodded.

Happy that nothing would happen tonight at least, I left with Jenny.

Jenny took me to the servant chambers and helped me take of the tunic type thing.

I noticed that I had many battle wounds.

The worst one was on my leg, a deep gash from my kneecap to my mid leg.

Man did it hurt!

I cleaned all of my wounds, took a short bath, while jenny handed me a white dress that flowed till my kneecap showing my leg scare.

It fit me perfectly.

It was also one shouldered- hugged my right shoulder not left. Which was bare.

A golden and red belt went around the waist.

"These are your everyday cloths" she handed me a pair of the same outfit.

"Thanks"

I took an extra fabric and tied it around my right- wounded leg.

All I wanted to do was go to sleep but jenny grabbed my already wounded arm which stung. Actually my whole body stung.

She said we had to go to the ceremony.

On our way she explained the rules and said that "You are to address the prince as sire, master and sometimes Prince Arthur only with his consent."

No way was I gonna call him anything of that sort. I had a lot of pride in me to do that.

"You are his slave and from now onwards you will do everything he asks you to do."

The way she said everything made me shiver and curiously I asked "What comes in everything?"

"Everything." She said simply. "From cleaning to feeding. Everything."

"Feeding?" I asked shocked and confused.

"Yes, if he asks you to feed him then you give him full access to your blood."

"No way in hell will I do that!" I screamed.

"Suit yourself, you will be punished for disobeying him, if not by the prince than the king himself. He likes to keep discipline and peace but he doesn't tolerate any form of misbehavior by anyone with his son."

Further she said "You will be cleaning cloths in the morning, washing them, polishing prince's armor- he never wears it himself, his slave used to do it for him but he died on the battlefield- good thing he has you now. He's a nice master. Moving on you will also be taking care of his horses, sweeping floors of the castle, providing food for the prisoners and anything sire asks you to do or anything related to him."

"You will be staying in the servant's quarters and I will take you there after the celebration tonight."

Soon I stood outside Arthur's room.

Unsure of what to do I knocked and heard a "come in."

Turning the door knob, feeling more scared than ever, I entered.

Yes, I was a fighter.

But I was also just an 18 years old, well kept, guarded princess.

I was bound to a future that didn't seem so bright.

I've heard how the prisoners of war are treated.. So yes I was scared.

He was putting his golden cuffs on his sleeve.

He looked up with his gorgeous blue eyes lased with eyelashes.

Then silently he looked back at his sleeves and continued what he was doing.

Awkwardly I stood there silently.

Staring at him head on.

He looked back again at me and then looked down.

Jenny hit my head slightly and said in a whisper "What are you doing, stop looking him in the eye, bow your head down in your masters presence or in fact any immortals presence."

I hadn't realized that she had followed me in.

"It's alright Jenny, you may leave now."

She bowed slightly and left giving me a warning glance.

"I'm sure you know how to put up an armor." He said simply.

I just stood there. Of course I knew.

He kept staring at me as if expecting me to say or do something so I said "Yes, I do."

"Then what are you waiting for? I haven't got all day" he replied a little harshly and with that he pointed towards the armor.

I made my way to his armor that lay on the neatly folded bed.

I picked his armor and only after that did I realize how heavy it was.

I stumbled a little but regained posture soon.

What, with all those battle wounds I could hardly feel my body.

He made no move to help me and I didn't want him to.

I wasn't weak.

With a little struggle I got the chest piece on him and strapped his shoulders perfectly.

Then his arm pieces and then I bent down to my knees to put his leg pieces.

My own leg stung with that gash on my leg.

Unable to get up I stayed down for a whole minute.

My head was bent low and he still stood in front of me.

I felt so.. weak.

Something I have never felt.

He sighed and gave me his hand.

Ignoring it I got up on my own.

Trying to show I wasn't in pain that I was down there but instead I was just clearing my head.

I just stood there as he said "You might want to get that leg treated by Jonathan- the castle physician."

I nodded.

"Since you know your duties by Jenny I hope I don't need to explain anything do I?"

"No." I said simply.

He looked at me amused and said "Thought so. In a social gathering you have to refer to me as Sire, no matter what you say, like right now, you should've said no sire but I don't mind if you just call me Arthur when in only my company because I know it might feel a little uncomfortable princess."

He bowed slightly and walked away.

I stood there a little stunned.

What the hell just happened?

He beckoned me to follow him as I stood there too shocked.

But I wouldn't let this ruin his impression as the ice prince.

He surely isn't this nice.

Maybe I would see his true nature in a few days.

I did as told.

Following him led to a huge double door.

We entered.

It opened up to reveal a huge hall and everyone stopped doing where ever they were and gathered around us.

After greeting Arthur they went back to whatever they were doing.

By now I was starting to limp.

I observed how carefree Arthur looked.

He actually didn't seem like a bad guy, except he was a leech.

He treated his friends well enough.

His entire army came in and engulfed him in a hug.

Seemed like a victory party and a ceremony.

It also seemed the entire town was gathered.

I stood in the corner a little uncomfortable surrounded by all these bloodsuckers.

To be honest It was boring.

When the ceremony began I was ushered to come and stand near the stage.

Arthur kneeled on one knee in front of the king and some ritual was performed and the crown was placed on Arthurs head.

Everyone clapped and the sound bounced off the walls making me cringe a little.

Once it was stopped the king announced "As a gift to my son I present him Lady Morgana, Princess of Galactica!"

Another roar of applaud took place as I was pushed on the stage.

My eyes snapping in every direction.

I didn't like this. Not one bit.

Panic was clear in my eyes as everyone looked at me with hungry eyes.

I slightly took a step back, only to bump into Arthur.

As soon as I could I turned around and took a step back from him too.

I heard some people laugh and the last thing I heard before I completely freaked out was "Now, why don't you take a sip from her?"

Did I tell you how much I love you guys for sticking with me even though I didn't update for a while so thanks :D

Love you all,

Zoya.
