King Aven's POV
--------------
The maids had stripped me of my clothes, ready to bathe me. I stepped into the hot bath and groaned "Illy scrub my back".
Her face turned red out of all of the female servants' Illy had the longest crush on me. To me she was nothing, but to her I was everything. "Illy"?
"Y-Yes my lord".
"Hop into the bath with me, and if you don't I won't hesitate to kill that friend of yours, Vivianna was it"?
"Yes, my lord".
"The rest of you may leave".
I stared at her, as she became naked. I stood up and grabbed her neck pulling her face closer to mine "Tell me are you in love"?
I let go of her neck as she gasped for air "No my lord", she quickly spoke.
I pulled her into the bath "Now tell me, who Aden is"?
"My lord he's nothing to me".
"Then prove it".
I arose from the water as she followed, I dried myself, but she remained cold and wet. I smiled as she started to shiver then pushed her against the bed beginning to put myself inside her. The only reason I did what I did was for sweet Letharia, she took over all my thoughts, lust & my love for her were all I could think about. Illy was simply a distraction. I groped her breasts as I then carried her, her back against the wall, I stared into her eyes as she could barely keep them open. "M-My Lord", she moaned as I threw her onto the bed as I flipped her over. I came inside her watching her orgasm as I did not. I smiled and began to dress as Illy also began to dress. "You're not a virgin, I can tell".
Illy looked at me and frowned "My lord I---
"You what? Were afraid to tell me I suppose. Listen, I have no interest in you, you're nothing more than my little play toy, as for all the other female palace slaves. Now get out.
I looked down and smiled waiting for her sobs but she simply replied with "Yes, my lord", as she left the room. My smile faded as I thought about the execution. I buttoned up my white shirt, threw on my black pants, combed my black hair, placed the crown on top of my head, and left my room heading off to the Coliseum.
Letharia's POV
------------------------
I spotted King Aven in the distance sitting on his throne waiting for the prisoner to come out for the execution, sitting their patiently he stared into the distance with pure evil in his eyes. I had pure hatred in my eyes as I stared at him. I then looked away hearing the crowd cheer as King Aven stood up, the guards had walked the man, hands tied behind his back. Father whispered in my ear "It's now or never". I took a deep breath "Yes, Father".
Father stood up as I swapped my heels in for shoes. We then put our bandanas on as we all stood up. "We find this man guilty of------
Father thew a smoke bomb onto the ground as the crowd gasped. I ran as fast as I could grab my gun from under my dress. I shot the guards in my way, suddenly I heard gunshots everywhere. But I kept running. As I finished, I headed up to where King Aven was but the closer I got the more gunshots I heard. As I got closer I saw a man on the floor, that man was no other than my father. I gasped and ran towards his body, I held his body in my shaking arms "No", I screamed. "No, no, no".
I closed my eyes, sobbing. Until a man had lifted my chin up
That man was no other than King Aven. He grabbed me away from my father's body and put a gun to my head. Showing my face to all the rebels causing them to surrender. The remaining guards brought them on their knees next to the man being executed below. "An execution of rebels will now take place". I sobbed louder when I saw a gun put next to Jessi's head. I turned around facing the king and dropped to my knees "I offer myself to you, my lord, in exchange for these lives, please take me". He looked at me and pushed me aside into the arms of a guard. He raised his arm signaling the guards to take them to prison. Along with myself. I was escorted to a prison cell where I sat there waiting for King Aven to release me into the palace but as I heard footsteps getting closer I stood up. "Letra". A man with an unfamiliar voice had called my mother's name.
