Welcome bugland
" I can't believe I've sent her my slave girl for two years now ... and she wouldn't even let me see her??? " The paced up and down the golden floor....the walls were robbed with purple colored flowers and it smelt sweet....there were purple curtains slightly opened dangling by the windows...there was a little ray filtering in ....it was beautiful...the wooden bed decked with wool was also covered in a purple bedspread...there were dots of ember designs all over it
He turned look at the slave... princess Natasha's batter to him .. they'd only switch back if she comes over to bugland ... but no she prefers Mariposa...a land of bondage
" How do you think this marriage would work?" Prince lucious was now asking a slave's opinion....he was certainly running mad
Slaves here walk without chains on them they are also free from the weight
Memwell peeped up at him for affirmative.... yeah...this royal majesties was looking at him....he immediately kept his head bowed
" Talk to me memwell..." His royal majesty urged ...his voice was firm... definitely a command and he seemed to yearn to continue his pace.... but memwell fell on his face weeping...
" Forgive me your majesty my master....I didn't mean for you to ask my opinion...for all in my head is emptiness and stupidity" memwell was saying
" Useless!" Lucious shouted and kicked at memwell... regretting ever asking him....he stormed out of the room
Memwell rose to his feet...dusted himself and grinned
Yeah...slaves have to be wise ...cause off with your head is the Lords and ladies find out you advised a majesty....
The Lords and ladies are Kings and queens ...the majesties are the princesses and princes
******
There was the rain drizzling again.... but the carriage was fast against it hopefully there wouldn't be a storm....the rusty soil wasn't any help....it was becoming slippery somehow..... some would say there should never be rains in Mariposa....but it has the most rains....
Princess Natasha was sitting with folded hands....she could tell and imagine the face of the prince.....she was really wishing she could convince him somehow to undo the betrothal but it was a taboo and a curse to the three lands....there'd be famine till they die and that means they'd be beheaded
" Savage traditions!" Natasha mumbled
Melissa could hear she only took a peep at the princess and folded her fingers around the chain...the carriage entered a gallop and Natasha screamed in anger ...
" I'm sorry your majesty" the Coachman responded with remorse....it wasn't his fault though but as a Coachman...he was just a commoner ....he had to accept and never explain to keep his job....it was the most difficult thing to live in the three lands.... and no one could ever leave....
" Place yourself in my sandals now Melissa.... what would you do?" Natasha was asking Melissa
Melissa's heart skipped in a beat....why are these superiors always tempting....if they want us dead they should just snap a finger and off with our heads instead of tempting like the devil
" I'd never in any of my life time be in your sandals... your majesty" Melissa was almost whispering.....
Natasha hissed eyeing the slave...to her they were always useless..... they can't even be a friend....she bit on her lips and sipped in her blood... soon the wound she left healed up
" Stop this carriage now" Natasha screamed at Tidings the Coachman.... and he took a hault .....she rushed down the carriage...the drizzle had already stopped... there was the cloud hiding the sun in the sky....
" I need blood Tidings" she said to him..." You should have brought along my blood tea" she yelled at Melissa who was already standing behind her.
" Your majesty....the Lord and lady wouldn't let me.... they please....you shouldn't get a blood tea until you arrive bugland .." Melissa reported....
" And when were you planning on telling me?" Natasha turned to her pulling her hair into her fist..... Melissa fell on her knees
" Forgive me your majesty.....I thought we'd be in bugland by now.... we've spent a really long time...." Melissa was saying
" You're both useless. . incompetent..." Natasha intruded letting go of Melissa's brown hair that dangled downward... hiding her brown eyes....she was referring to Tiding too ...he took two steps backwards
" Forgive me too ...I'd speed up...I was only trying to avoid the gallops...." Tidings was explaining now ... wrong of him...he should have accepted his flaw....he saw her skin steaming like a pot of hot stew.....he rushed two feet backwards again and fell on his face.... Natasha immediately rushed into the the carriage... Melissa did too and Tidings hopped on and wiped the horses ...they rushed ahead
The royalties were blood sucking deities.... they could survive any weather condition.... but they don't leave for ever
********
The rain was rushing down now like the flood of Noah... endless and cruel....the carriage could have been soaked and tearing in pieces only it was a metal.... but what about tTidings...he was shivering now. .. but it was twilight... luckily....they just arrived bugland...he only had to get the properties into the extra large mansion made of bricks rather than metal.... nothing here was rusty.... everything was glittering...a land of paradise
His royal majesty prince lucious took Natasha's hand to kiss them...there was a pleasurable smile on his face...they'd finally be married now .....
" Welcome to bugland my princess..." Natasha only frowned at him... memwell knelt down to unlock Melissa's chain... Melissa squeezed both her wrist and straightened her heels when she felt the chain fall off... relieving....she sighed....she was happy to be in bugland again...there was peace here
Lucious frowned and waved it away almost immediately replacing it with a grin....he took Natasha's hand and led her to the dinning room...there were varieties of food deliciously spread .... smelling sweet.... and that blood tea.... Natasha rushed at it...she took the jar and emptied a two little blood tea into the mouth...she felt revived....she looked up to see lucious mouth agap...there was blood running down her mouth and her attire.....
" How long where you starved?" Lucious asked
" I wasn't starved....I decided not to drink..." Tasha lied....she had to keep her dignity intact to avoid any sort of bully from this proud prince....
Lucious pulled a seat and Tasha sank into it...he sat opposite to her
" So tell me about Mariposa.....how's the Lord and lady .?" His face was bowed...he took another jar of a blood tea and poured into a glass...he took a sip and pulled a bowl of full chicken...he picked it into his plate with his hands...
" Fairly good... Mariposa is in good shape too" she responded staring at him...her fingers only searched for the vegetable soup and a plate of bread...she took a spoon and dipped it in the soup... pulling it out ...she sipped the hot soup noisily while still staring at him
" You speak more of Mariposa than your parents... reasons you have refused our Union for two years now....is there anything I should know??" Lucious looked up to her now noticing she'd her eyes glued to him
" Nothing to worry about" Tasha responded
Lucious smiled...he stuck a big piece of the meat into his mouth and chewed.... when he swallowed he smiled
" How's the food?"Lucious was asking...his eyes were in her soup ...he was watching the way she starred it.... obviously she was bored.... about something
" Good!" She responded and dropped the spoon...
" You've been with my slave for two years...I'd appreciate if we switch back since you're here now" lucious said...this time staring at Melissa who seemed more kept than when she was with him...." Is there anything special about her?" He continued...
Natasha frowned and turned to see Melissa...she seemed adamant to custom is custom....she most....her eyes ran up and down Melissa and she nodded
" You can have her...as long as memwell comes back to me... and there's nothing special about her" Tasha said and turned to face the food....
Lucious could see a strain on her forehead...she was obviously worried about something....he looked up to Melissa ... Melissa's hair covered almost all her face...he could still see her eyes blinking towards the floor...she was shaking a little but he couldn't tell why...
" Melissa!." He yelled...she could almost jump out of her skin...she dared not look up at him...she bowed her head and knees in response to him... lucious spang off his seat but Natasha was faster. ....she slapped Melissa on the face... Melissa dropped unconscious
" What did you do to my slave Natasha??"lucious screamed in her face... drawing attention...his voice echoed across the gigantic hall and people outside could even hear..... Natasha bit her lips and eyed him...she stared at memwell who seemed to be hiding his fear. ...his toes where tucked like a folded pillow....
" Get to my room memwell...now..." Tasha yelled at him... memwell immediately disappeared in a dash into the passage and off he went leaving Melissa motionless on the floor... only one mystery.... Melissa's eyes were open and she was blinking... Natasha had placed a spell on her....a spell of ownership....she owned Melissa now
Lucious roared....he sounded just like a lion...his skin was steaming and his veins piercing out like swords....
" Let her go Natasha...." He yelled at her ...his was reechoed like a drumbeat in a desert....there was a fug hovering around his head now..... little snowflakes where in it but they were swords too
" I'd like to watch you make me" Natasha took two steps backwards...she circled her fingers in the air just to appear a cyclone...she'd definitely snatched it from the desert.....she was sucked into it.... lucious hurried to follow but the cyclone rushed into the wall a faded ...
That was Natasha's disappearing spell..... lucious wasn't blessed with such....he roared louder in rage...he picked up Melissa...but he couldn't undo Natasha's spell
