The Slave Queen Prized possession
"No…you have to pick up your chest a little. Puff it out like you're trying to prove a point to someone. Great!" I'm praising him with a smile on my face, clapping my hands like an excited little girl. Ever since He comes back from shagali, I've been teaching him a little about my culture, and some of the dances. I told him of the countless balls we've had, the masquerades, and the traditional styles of dancing. I told him of the masquerade balls, where people would dress up as characters from stories, wearing extravagant costumes and masks to try the said character. I told him that the royalty would throw balls regularly, and nobles would sometimes throw them as well. I even told him of a ball my family held. I step forward, pressing my hands onto his, and then I step right back to where I was. I spin gracefully a few times, with the help of one of his abnormally large fingers. I then lift my skirts a little higher, showing my foot dancing upon the stone floors. I move my hips rather
The Slave Queen Wolf
There is a little crossing with three pathways branching off of it, the dark corridors illuminated only by torches. He explains that the dungeons are to the right, the private library is straight on ahead and the 'prized possession' room would be left. There is an unlit torch lying against the wall.He takes it, lights it, and then leads me down the left pathway.It is a little unnerving being down in the base level of the castle, where I'd never dared venture before. It is dark, cobwebs lining the ceilings and pesky rats crawling through holes in the stone walls. I wonder if Prince Edmund has any prisonersstaying in the dungeons right now, and if the person who guards the dungeon room whips and tortures their prisoners...When I look back, I can see no sign of Prince Edmund in the Dark hallway. I can see only the shadows of a torch. I pick up my skirts and rush after him; I would hate to be lost down herewith the rats and the spiders. When I finally do catch up to him, I wrap my ar
The Slave Queen The women I love
Kicking Bull's eyes glaze over me with sick humor. "You are a foreign whore. You do not command Kicking Bull with that mouth. But I will give you something else to do with your mouth!"The crowd gasps. I am astonished at his persistence. It is like he wants to be killed. "The next time you speak to me in that manner will be the last time you have a tongue," I seethe at him menacingly. "I give you my word." I am a littlewoman, but my fury does not prevail."Cesar smiles. "See how she is fierce? She is Tiger Claw, and she will command you. The next time you speak suggestively of my woman, will indeed, be the last time you have your tongue."Kicking Bull does the unexpected, and he spits on Cesar's feet. My king's eyes dilate with his rage but he still manages to keep it cool. "A king who takes orders from his Slaves whore is no king at all!" He brings out his weapon, his mighty khopesh sword, and points it at Cesar. I gasp andstruggle against Three Horses. The man puts his lips close
The Slave Queen As long as I live
It is almost dark when we get back to the castle. He's opted not to visit the castle medic for his bleeding. Instead, he's let it bleed on for almost a half-hour, the blood staining his chest. It dries, and new, wet blood drenches his chest again.He's been oddly silent ever since our encounter with Kicking Bull. He sits in his great bearskin chair and stares into the fire before him.I haven't said anything, but I'm afraid that I'll change that. But as I continue to say nothing, his condition only worsens."Does it hurt badly?" I ask him softly. My voice seems to startle him over the whisper of the wind and the soft crackle of the warm fire.He shrugs his shoulders, causing more blood to drip down his forearm. "Please Eliza…do not."I shake my head and exhale in frustration. "But I don't understand-!" I'm whining like a child now."I don't want it cleaned," he repeats a little firmly. "I don't want to keep telling you this, please. Don't make me explain."The image of the blood rolli
The Slave Queen Planning a battle
He didn't touched me that night but sitting beside fire place on his chair looking at me continuously..." What's wrong Prince Edmund " he still said nothing " Is something bothering you? " He sighed of relief " Yes! Get ready! I want to take you somewhere "I get up from bed and wear beautiful navy blue silk outfit. He sat on his horse and make me sit infront of him. It was mid night and only small fire light which were placed from distance were giving us light. We travel for about 30 minutes and stopped infront of a house. It seem so beautiful from outside and i was shocked to see it's elegant style from inside with beautiful designed furniture!" This is my house , The one you wanted to see so badly "I saw sadness in his deep green eyes when he sits on his bed where he used to love with Princess Snow Flower. I stay silent because there is nothing i can do to ease his pain." I want to ask you something! " He stopped for few seconds and speak again " It is something i only want fr
The Slave Queen Designing machine for Battle
I I point at Little Sea. "Cannons. Get a piece of papyrus and ink and write that down." The man nods and follows my orders. "Now tell us what the cannons can do, little one," I asked my Eliza"The cannons are like long stone tunnels with only one side open; the top side. They sit on a pair of wheels and that's how the men can move it. It is incredibly heavy and large. It can move in any direction, whether it is east, Northeast…south…any way you want. Then there is theobject called the cannonball that you shoot out at the enemy. The cannon gets ignited with fire and…off it goes. Quite interesting really." Eliza gushes it all out to us, spilling every bean in the bag while Little Sea takes notes on the papyrus." I have something to say too " Iron coyote girl talk and I nodded in response!"Then there is a contraption called a catapult. It is used for hurling stones of fireballs out at the enemy, or over tall walls. It is like a tall wooden stick with a little bowl attached to the end
The Slave Queen Great library
"We all die, Elizabella. The gods of this world canbe merciful, but when your time comes, you must accept that fact. The greatest death a man can know is while in battle, fighting for his country.""But I don't understand," she whispers to me, clutching my hands in hers. I look away from her face as she draws herself closer. She will never understand the ways of war, but never will anyone. "Why not just make peace with oneanother?"This statement draws my eyes back to her face. "Peace? I have never known peace. The only peace I have is when I am with you. If it's war they want, it's war they'll get."BELLA'S POVI claim that I despise war, yet I still gave away precious information from my kingdom. Where does my loyalty lie?With my brothers and sisters back home, or will the beasts that raided my home and stole me away from my lifestyle? Ask me five months ago what I thought about thebarbarians and I would have told you they were a damned race, a merciless species that deserved t
The Slave Queen Weird stories
Curiosity gets the better of me and I stalk forward to turn the golden knobs of the door. They give way and the door pushes open with a terrifyingly loud creak. But what the two doors hide is so much more amazing.It is a library. Books line the walls, and a great swirling staircase leads up to the second floor of it. Two large windows let the moonlight in as the torches do not lead on into the library. I shut one door behind me, leaving the other open in case the doors were to lock behind me.The place is huge and mysterious. My people had called the barbarians an unintelligent race with no interest whatsoever in edification; an unclean, uneducated species. But judging by the books and paintings hung on the walls, these peopledo not live up to the stereotypes from Bellechester.My fingers scrape across the spines of the books, a thick layer of dust coming off my skin. These books and parchment scrolls and paintings haven't been touched in years. I wonder why no one's been in here fo
