Chapter 1

"Third Chief Hugo's son is here." The servant kneeled to deliver the announcement. Her white gown overflowed by her sides.

"Send him away." Fourth princess Kassy didn't turn around to meet the gaze of her faithful servant. She only raised her ornamented fingers in the air.

"But fourth princess, I don't have the power to do that." The servant bowed her head.

That caught Kassy's attention. She turned around from her reflection in the mirror. "Can't you see I'm busy?" She was busy indeed…getting dressed for Achu.

Achu was from the world of water and their relationship was forbidden for so many reasons. One, Kassy was royal, and royalty did not mix with commoners. Two, Achu was from the rival world. Kassy was from the world of fire.

Achu sat on the princess' royal bed. It was made from the most expensive roses sewn together and transformed by the most professional fabric handlers in the world of fire.

Kassy wanted to show this lowly servant how busy she was and began to slip out of her clothes. Her gown was made from the finest silk and scented with the sweetest flowers in the garden. The hem had real gold taped to it and shone gloriously.

The servant dared not raise her head. Kassy strode towards her, the white beads around her waist making a patterned noise. Her hips were the widest in the kingdom, yet she was so slender.

A lot of people referred to her as a goddess. Rumor had it that when she was young, the king had bathed her with water from Vi stream, the ones where spirits and gods wined and dined.

Kassy bent down on one knee before her servant. She lifted her servant’s chin with her index and thumb fingers. "Look at your princess when she talks to you."

The poor servant had no choice but to look up at her naked princess. Who was she to go against her wish?

Kassy's lips drew into a mocking smirk, and she stood. With one hand on her waist, she glided to the bed where a determined Achu sat.

She cupped her breasts and rubbed them against the face of her lover. "Do you see how busy I am now?"

"Fourth princess." The servant bowed her head again. "Sir Harry is your groom to be…" She had to remind her wayward princess.

"Ah!" Kassy groaned. She picked up the flower vase that always sat beside her bed and threw it at the wall, missing the servant's head by a needle's distance.

"Why do you even let her speak?" Achu contributed for the first time. “A lowly servant like herself who doesn't even have her fire powers!" He clicked his tongue. He had no shirt on, and his lower body was hidden from view by the huge blankets on the bed. The servant wondered if he was naked. He had to be.

Who was he to refer to her as lowly? He was from the world of water after all and lacked strength, just like everyone from that world.

"Out now! Tell father, I am no longer marrying that man!" He wouldn't be the first man rejected by the fourth princess. It was King Harvey's dream to see all his children married in his lifetime.

"But fourth princess!" The servant panicked, breathing in and out rapidly. "He will behead me!"

"Good for me." Kassy shrugged, clicked her tongue, and returned to her bed.

The servant stood, realizing that if she stayed it was only a matter of time before they had sex right in front of her.

Myan was the lowly servant.

Her heart raced as she returned to the courtyard. How was she supposed to tell the king?

The chief and his entire family had brought gifts to appease the royal family. What an embarrassment they would deal with now that she had rejected them. She didn't even try to meet them!

"The servant has returned…" the king's right-hand spokesman announced into his master's ear. The king was a thin man with a receding hairline, but if there was one thing he was known for, it was his beard hair: nine inches long and sometimes it was braided to keep it out of harm's way. He considered his beard hair dignified and refused to shave it off. Most people referred to him as the hair man, including the royal family.

"But I don't see the fourth princess anywhere." The king’s right-hand man gulped.

The king's round face dropped as he lifted his head to look at the small, unkempt woman approaching them. "Where is Kassy?" he inquired, already knowing her answer.

Myan shivered in fear and dropped to her knees instantly. "Your majesty!" She bowed her head, already in tears. "I tried to convince her to come with me, but she made up her mind," she informed the king, and everyone present in the open courtyard that was fenced in by tall bushes and ornamental trees.

A panicked gasp from the small crowd of royalty, and their entourages, filled the room. It was third chief Hugo's wife, Miranda. Myan watched from the corner of her eyes how the elegantly dressed woman fanned her face, but she didn't dare lift her head.

Her servants gather around to fan her with their various items.

"There's no need to panic." King Ron didn't sound as confident as he intended to. "Clearly, this servant is too low to command someone like Kassy. Ramon, go fetch the fourth princess." He waved the nearest royal guard off.

"Yes, your majesty." The tall, well-built guard bowed in acknowledgement.

"In fact, I'll come with you," the king proposed.

Myan gasped and stood up quickly. Her princess could be nasty, but she loved her so much. It would be trouble if the princess and Achu were caught, and if she was certain of anything, she was certain that he was grinding into her princess by now. "Wait!" she yelled without thinking.

A few gasps eluded the lips of the small crowd. They wondered how a low-class woman dared to speak when hadn’t been directly addressed.

"Your majesty, Ramon cannot go in there." Myan brought her voice down and lowered her head in her standing position.

"And why is that?" The king frowned. Myan looked up to see that his hand was transitioning to a bright red color. A warning that one wrong move could cause the fire from his fist to burn her to ashes.

"Because…Because…the princess is naked your majesty," Myan said. It wasn't exactly a lie.

The king's hand returned to its original pale tone. "Naked?"

"Yes, your majesty, naked." Myan gained confidence now that she knew he believed her. "I have to warn her in advance. Ramon should not see the fourth princess naked." She met the face of the guard that had stood still the whole time.

"You have a head start. Kassy must be here in five minutes." The king waved her off, "come on Ramon."

Myan understood at once that the king was suspicious, so she took to her heels, holding her gown up to avoid tripping on it, and made her way to her princess' room. A man as huge as Ramon only needed a few strides before he caught up with her, so she ran like she was chasing the wind.

She was out of breath by the time she got to the wooden door. She turned the metal knobs, but they didn't budge. It was locked from inside. She panted heavily and pounded on the door. Her princess had no dignity at all, she thought. Her moans were loud and even through the heavy door, Myan could hear them a little.

"Fuck! Achu…yes, there…" The fourth princess sounded like she was being beat up. Myan looked over her shoulder. The king and Ramon were just a stone’s throw away and it would only be a few minutes before they were at the door.

Myan intensified her pounding against the door, ignoring how it hurt her knuckles. "Fourth princess! Open up, please!" she cried.

"Shit!" Kassy groaned from inside.

The doors opened and Myan pushed the princess out of the way unconsciously. She dashed into the room and secured the bolt.

Achu was on the bed, staring at her like she was a mad woman.

"You little rascal! Do you want me dead? You literally pushed me against the wall," Kassy snapped at her, raising her fist to hit her across the face, but Myan had no time for that.

"Fourth princess, hurry. The king and Ramon are on their way to fetch you as per the king's order. There will be trouble if he finds Achu here. He could kill him!" Myan panicked, pushing a lock of her hair out of her face even though the resilient strands kept falling back in place.

"No, no, shit. Forget Ramon, my father will behead Achu." Kassy joined in the panic. "Quick, get me clothes I can wear," she ordered Myan. Achu had jumped to his feet when he heard the news.

Myan dashed towards Kassy's closet. She caught a quick glance of Achu, and her eyes went wide. No wonder her princess was crazy over him. This man's member was huge!

Kassy tried to force him under the bed, but it was impossible.

Myan selected the first outfit she saw in the closet: a red peacock-patterned floor length gown and headed back to Kassy. "You have got to be kidding me!" she growled when she noticed the partially naked couple sucking on each other's faces by the window.

They disconnected when someone knocked on the bedroom door. They were here.

Myan flinched and gasped in fear. "He's here!" she yelled in a whisper.

"Quick, get out." Kassy literally tossed Achu out of the room and through the window.

"Just a second!" she yelled at the top of her lungs, taking the gown from Myan, who had run to her side.

"Open this door, or I'll have it broken down!" the king called back and both women heard a foreign sound against the door. Ramon was trying to pull it down.

Kassy's shaky hand got her nowhere, so Myan hurried to pull her into the outfit.

In no time, Myan finished and sped back to the door, unlocking it.

"Sorry about the delay, father." Kassy bowed her head and Myan took the same action. From the look of things, Ramon had been trying to break the doors.

"I demanded your presence, yet you declined me." The king looked unhappy about her decision.

"I'm sorry, father." Kassy sounded like a completely different woman—polite and respectful—compared to the beast from earlier.

The king poked his head into the room as if he expected to find someone.

Myan and her princess shared a fearful look and both women sighed in relief as he turned around to leave.

They walked far behind both men and Kassy turned to whisper in Myan's ear, "That was close. Next time, warn me faster!"

Myan thought to herself, “Well, you're welcome.”
