I woke up with pain all over my body. Lucus was gone and I was left alone to deal with it. I guess this is my punishment.
My personal maids were watching me and jumped into action when I was swaying.
I asked them to prepare a bath and they helped me to get into it.
Ann was quick to give me a relaxing massage and Barbara massaged my scalp while Katrina rubbed some oil into my hair.
After the soothing bath they applied some healing lotions to my already ugly purple bruises. It was difficult to walk or do anything because of the soreness between my legs.
I ordered them to bring me some healing lotion for that area and I applied it around the area.
Then I dressed in a floral gown and went down the hall searching for food.
My maids insisted me to rest in the bed chambers, but I was too stubborn and secretly I was afraid that Lucus might come around.
Kitchen was busy with various preparations, and I was dazed for a moment with the bussing activities. I entered the kitchen, and everyone stopped for a moment and bowed down to me.
I selected some delicious items and asked my maids to arrange my breakfast in the gardens.
After breakfast I ordered my maids to clean and change the whole setting of my bed chambers.
Then I went in search for the soldier. I need to ask his name when I meet him. He was guarding the west wing and when I reached him, he sniffed the air and scowled.
"I need to talk to you.!"
"Of course, your Grace...I am at your service."
"No idiot. Not here. I want to talk with you secretly...Find someone for your shift and come to the room at the end of this hall. "
"Very well my Queen. I will."
"Hurry up!"
And with that he went in search for a fellow soldier. I quickly went to the room and waited for him.
After few minutes he came to the room and locked the door. Then he charged at me and started to sniff me.
"What the hell are you doing? Get off...We need to focus on our plan!"
"I know I know...But I can't help it...Did he hurt you last night? I heard your cries. I was frustrated. I couldn't help you. I was helpless...I am sorry!"
"Don't worry my love. I am fine. We need to plan our escape before anything else.
Now first I want to know your name. It’s quite hilarious and weird that I have no idea about your name.”
"Oh, that's ok. Don't think about it rose bud...My name is Dante.”
"Now about the plan. I have already prepared a vehicle to travel. It was hard. But as my uncle is the head of the security it was possible. And there is enough food for us. Also, we have my savings for expenses.
And tonight, we must escape because tomorrow you will be marked. That's why everyone is preparing for. They are preparing for the ceremony.
And we will leave at midnight. But before that you need to put this potion into the Kings wine or anything. Just get him to drink this. It will put him to a dream less sleep till tomorrow noon.”
"Hmm...ok I will do it. I can get him to drink this. But what about the guards??"
"Let me worry about that my love. I will take care of it.”
"Hmm...Ok Dante. I will do as you told me. I have already arranged my things. I will wait in the chambers till you come.”
"Good. I will come as soon as I can. Can I kiss you before you go?”
"But…uh…We can't risk anything Dante. He will feel it for sure...I am sorry.”
I was a little bit sad about our current situation. But what to do. We need to be careful until we escape.
But maybe a small kiss won't hurt anyone.
Dante was disappointed and although I was using him, I have feelings for him. So, I gave him a quick kiss and ran away.
But I heard his unmistakable sigh of satisfaction.
Tonight, I WILL ESCAPE!
But not alone.
With my lover. My Dante...
Fuck you Lucus!
