Chapter 6: Matters to Attend To
Melaena looked at herself in the mirror as she applied her ruby red lipstick. Brenna had sent the note to Diamond, and in a matter of minutes, the mistresses would be gone, a meeting would adjourn with her mother and then they would train. All within this while Diamond and herself could meet up and he could teach her how to teleport...or whatever.
She took her brush through her long black flowing hair at the back and her two ponytail/odangos at the side. Her long gown, black and lilac, opening and closing, high slit, contrasting her pale skin. She deserved a little male attention didn't she? At age 16 most people met their suitors or were already engaged...normally people married between age 17-18...so she was just getting a head start as far as she was concerned.
She got up from her vanity and yawned. She slipped her feet into her heels...luckily there wasn't much these days the dark crystal couldn't heal. She looked to her crystal ball...she could see the mistresses gathering in a room for the meeting. If only her crystal worked to see-
"Is my arrival too soon?"
She turned to see Diamond had teleported to her room.
"No, just on time." She said turning her face his way.
"Well I was hoping to be fashionably late..."
"In that case...you could have came sooner." She smirked.
"Ah, perfect timing then." He smirked back. "So you want to learn to teleport?"
"Among other things." She said as she walked closer to him.
Her figure was thin, but fit. Her shape was hourglass like, and her slit in her dress was distracting. He did have a mind to think this girl had ulterior motif then for a mere teleportation lesson. "Like what?"
"Like...tell me about the Moon Kingdom. What about it makes people follow such a wretched false light?"
"...the Moon Kingdom has a Queen who makes decisions based on her subjects and not for the greater good of the victims...anyone of her sister's people she throws aside." She noticed his stature didn't budge, even though she knew the Moon must have a weak spot in him. His face was calm and his body was fit and stood like a rock beneath his robes...very strong...very manly. She'd get some reaction from him sooner or later...
"Oh I know that part of it...but what about their princess? Is she the same way?" Melaena asked innocently.
"That Princess is a puppet. A beautiful and goddess like puppet of her mother, protected by her Scouts of the other naive planets, and courted by a new courtier family who also has a dark past but for some god forsaken reason...is trusted...unlike Sapphire and I."
"You speak like you know her..."
"I did. Well...but her mother seems to believe one like myself is not worthy enough...yet now she talks to the Queen of the Earth of marriage matters in my stead." He looked to the sky and spotted the white planet, and glared at it.
"...Queen of the Earth? Well there is only one son of that lineage to be courted...he cannot be hers."
"Why not?" He turned back to her and stared at her with his intense violet eyes.
"That Prince...Prince Endymion is to be my courtier."
"Then I guess we have both been cheated from our romances have we not? Last time I was there...almost three weeks ago the Queen Gaia and Queen Serenity were plotting some kind of meeting for their kin. However I know little of the plan now...it doesn't concern me..."
"Would you get her back if you could?" Melaena said, secretly wondering if her mother knew about this outrage.
"...I might if I had the means to..." Diamond said thinking for a moment. "...however I have learned that better things come to those that wait." He looked to Melaena with a smirk.
Melaena returned his notion with her raising her eyebrow at him, wondering if he'd meant she was the better thing...
"So I came here for an interrogation did I?" Diamond asked.
"No, my apologies. One who never leaves her quarters is clearly not aware of all this universe conceals." She said referring to herself.
"Touche...now to teleport?"
"Yes...then you won't need to come here...I can go where I please."
"But really it is a nice excuse to us so I can be in the presence of the Dark Princess...should I loose this excuse I don't know what I should do..." Diamond smiled.
"Well when you get your own Dark Moon, my demi-Prince, I guess then you're excuses to come to me would be of certain matters from Prince to a Princess?" Melaena brushed her finger tips against the silk dark purple sheets on her bed, her black nails standing in contrast.
"Matters that concern only those of nobility and who are loyal to my Princess could attend?" He asked.
"You and my Mistress Brenna are about the only loyal people I have yet to meet." She admitted.
"Well I'm sure Mistress Brenna is wonderful, but maybe she has more to tend to with Sapphire...I feel like I have more to tend to with just you." His eyes locked with hers. She noticed how his words were devilish...gutsy to be playing games with a Princess who was already courted to another...or so it was supposed.
"Well shall we tend then?" Melaena walked closer to him, leaving no more then a foot or two between them. If her Prince was with another...then she could be with Diamond for the time being.
"We could." He teleported swiftly behind her and took her wrists with his hands, and leaned closer, his mouth to her ear. "When I teleport, all I think of is where I want to go...I let the dark crystal empower that want...and I close my eyes and believe that my change in surroundings is true...you're powerful enough...think...Princess...think..."
Melaena wonderend where she could go...his room maybe? The only other safe possibility. She followed his directions, his closeness slightly distracting...she pictured the room...dark...black...a large door...Sapphire's half...Diamond's half...the bed-
"And here we are." He said as they found themselves in his chambers.
She opened her eyes surprised to feel a bed beneath her and his hands pinning her arms down to it over her.
"It seems you may have imagined a much more specific spot then this room, my Princess?" He said surprised almost too, that they had landed on his bed in such a position as this.
"First-timers luck I guess?" She said as she looked at him, as she even felt a small blush...she'd never shown vulnerability before.
"Well this is a surprise. Should I go for a walk now or later?"
They both looked over to see Sapphire leaning against his own bed post at the two.
"Maybe you should really have Mistress Brenna tend to Sapphire...maybe then he'd have some of his own matters to attend to." Diamond said as Melaena laughed a little, as he got off of her and she sat up as Sapphire wondered what the hell they were thinking.
