Leon P.O.V

To say that I was bored out of my mind would've been an understatement. My dear mother believes that when she keeps inviting all these girls I will change. She thinks that a simple woman can change me.

I believed that she would understand me more than anyone else... But that will never happen. After all, I can't take any of these ladies seriously when she handles herself like that. How can I respect them when they can't respect themselves? Most of them were easy and only wanted one thing.

And as the days went by it has proven it. And tonight wouldn't be any different... I might run into a beautiful girl, who will catch my eyes for the night. The truth has to be told... She will merely be the flavour of the night.

"Leon!" My mother's voice was ringing outside my chambers. And soon the doors were pushed open roughly. "We need to talk, boy," She added in a cold voice.

I took a deep breath, gazing at my mother. "Yes, ma'am."

She narrowed her eyes at me before she spoke. "I'll state it once so listen carefully. Tonight is your final chance, boy. I want you to get yourself a decent girl and settle down." I desired to protest, but she never allowed me. "Not another word, let me finish. I give you all this time to find the right girl, but your behaviour is not acceptable at all." She stated, throwing a sharp dagger at me, but I manage to dodge.

When I turned around to face my mother, she was gone. One thing I've learned about my mother was the fact that she wasn't like any normal woman and immediately I understood why my father worshipped her. Simply he was madly in love with her. I could see it in his eyes. She was the air, he breaths and the light that guided his life.

Everyone knew their mad love story, and I want something like that... I want a woman who could find her way into my dark heart and not some spoiled girl who takes everything for granted.

I drew on the leather tunic along with my black trousers on, dreaming about such a heavenly creature. Then I placed my heavy, yet brief chest armour. It was a mixture of white and black trillium.

I sucked in a deep breath because I knew how serious my mother was, this wasn't the first time. But she would never push me to do such a thing.

Hours later someone walked into my chambers.

"What are you doing? Everyone is waiting for you down there!" He said as he ran closer to my bed, where I was resting.

I didn't answer him and held my eyes shut maybe if I acted like the dead they will go away.

"Leon! Your mother is depressed there and let me tell you, she is not happy! Even your father can't deal with her, he's been keeping his distance all this time."

"You're not going to shut up... Aren't you happy?" I said as I opened my eyes slowly. "I don't understand you people... She wants me to behave like a decent prince! So I will stay here all night and ignore all the temptations down there." I said, looking at one of my best friends.

"You know what... If you want to hide like a little girl you can do that! But if you want your mother to take you seriously, show her what you can do! Get out of this room and act the way you wish to act!"

I laughed bitterly, "I can't do such a thing Ardal. Our dear Queen Violet gave me tonight to find the perfect wife... Tonight is my chance to make it happen."

Ardal snorted. "You know that she will never force you into anything of that form."

"Then you don't know my mother at all." I stated as I pulled my black royal Tabard on. "Tonight is the night that will seal my future. I have a feeling that by the end of this night I might-"

"What are you going to do by the end of this night, boy?" Asked my mother with an angry voice. "My patience is warning out Leon. You better get yourself together and join us down in the royal ballroom." Said my mother slamming the door behind her.

"Did our King annoyed her today?" Asked Ardal in a depressed voice.

"No... All that love is for me. We better join them shortly, I want this night to end..."

The second I reached the royal hall, someone declared my appearance. I ignored all the eyes and walked fast into the ballroom. Then a smirk began to cover my lips as I approached my mother. Since she wants to make my life a living hell I will give her a night to recall for the rest of her life.

Alena P.O.V

My blood was running cold, as ice water... What had I done? Wasn't enough that I crept my way out of that cell they call home. And now I was here of all the places? This was a huge mistake and I knew that this night will be a nightmare.

Litharie and Ash were like a second family to me. I've known them all my life, but life pushed us apart. I was surprised when Litharie, sent me a letter inviting me to this party. She said that this party will cheer me up and also no one knows me here.

But the only problem was, I had another reason to be here. I was here on a mission. And I need to get it done before I leave this place. Because I knew that this might be my final chance.

They stole everything from me, they killed them all and left me to watch what should've been mine. There was no time to back down or turn the other way and head for the hills.

With a head held high, I walked into the dim ballroom. It was simply gorgeous and breathtaking. The walls were drawn up with a mixture of gold and other rubes. Rubes that I've never seen before. Inside these frames were a majestic wallpaper in different themes. Each wall was a story being told, it was like they kept all their memories on these walls.

When I looked around the room the first thing I saw was their Queen, Violet. She was so beautiful with her almost white hair and brilliant blue eyes. And next to her was her handsome husband and King Leonidas.

The way he was looking at her was heartwarming, he was so protective of her and never allowed her to leave his side. This image filled my eyes with tears, I once experienced such a lovely parents, but life is not fair at all.

Then something caught my eyes. There was a young lady staring back at me, she sustained a rich shade of golden hair, with deep green eyes. Her eyes met with sadness and loneliness, but there was something else deep within them. There was fear, unexplainable fear.

White pearls were falling on her white strapless white ball gown. It didn't take me long to realize that the young woman who was staring back at me was my own reflection. I closed my eyes slowly as they announced the entrance of prince Leon. But when I looked at the top of the stairs there was utterly no one.

I must've snuck in my own misery and missed the fool. When I turned around I collided against a solid wall, almost knocking me down. But firm hands were wrapped around my waist, pressing me roughly against this stranger's chest.

"Are you all right, my lady?" Asked a deep yet so husky voice.

"Yes," I said in annoyance. And the moment our eyes met, I knew that I found what I was looking for. He was so unbelievably handsome. He had dirty blonde hair, with deep blue eyes.

He was exactly what I had been looking for. I smiled shyly at him as I placed my hands against his chest along with my head... It just felt so good.

"Can we talk somewhere alone?" I demanded in a low voice.

"What? Why, my lady?" He asked in confusion.

"Please, I need your help," I said in a depressed voice.

I didn't have to tell him twice, the next thing I know that we were in a very beautiful chamber. The stranger was refilling his glass from a bottle sitting on the night stand.

As he lifted his glass to his full lips, he studied me with his deep sea blue eyes.

I knew that time was ticking! And I had to find a way to seduce this guy before he thrust me out of this chamber. But what can I do?

I can strip out of this gown, only I knew that this will be a huge failure with my small breasts. Besides, it was very hard to strip before this man. I was brought up better than this, but desperation is something really ugly. I knew that I might need to become nude... But I imagined that the room would be dark and not like this!

"Why did you want to talk to me privately?" He asked.

I began to smile at this stranger until his once smiling face was covered with a frown. It was now or never and with trembling hands, I dropped my dress. The eyes of the stranger stare back at me.

The scowl that was covering his face was replaced with amazement. He opened his mouth couple of times before he eventually spoke, "Wh-what do you think you're doing woman?" He inquired in disbelief. "No, no. This just can't be happening. I don't need this right now... Just when I thought that I might've found the perfect one. She turned to be just like the rest."

There was no time for this, it was now or never. With a sense of desperation, I snatched up his hands. Squeezing my eyes close, I pulled them to my breast and held them there.

"My lady..." He said, straining to control his anger.

"Yes?" I asked innocently.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Letting you feel my breasts..." It came out like a question.

"Huh?" His hands remain there.

I could feel the warmth of his palms spreading. "You may move your hands on them if you want."

"That sounds amazing... But how about you open your eyes."

I drew in a sharp breath and opened them slowly, and I knew right away it was a huge mistake.

He was so near, staring back at me with his cold eyes. I had to tilt my head to look upward at him. From such a range, I saw all the small detail in his handsome face. But what captivated my eyes was the faint scar that ran from his eyebrow to his chin. It was impossible to see it from a distant.

This man was pure muscle, I couldn't stop the smile from spreading across my lips. It will be fine when the time comes. It will be strong enough to survive this hard world.

"Please, you can't turn me down! I need this. Please." I nearly begged him.

He slowly realest me breasts, trying to put a space between us. But I never allowed him as I pressed myself against his hard chest.

"You really want this bad, don't you, angel?"

I nodded.

"Whatever the lady wants," He said.

"Could we turn out the lights, please?"

"How am I going to see you then?" He asked in annoyance.

"You already saw it all and still there is the moonlight coming from the window."

He pushed me gently and walked over to the bed, I dashed toward the light and dimmed the room. I watched him get rid of his brief armour, then his leather tunic. The muscles of his shoulders rippled as he tossed it aside.

"You can come here now," He said.

Now that the moment I was waiting for had arrived, fear started to control me. "Would you like to talk a little first?" I asked. "You know, so we get to know one another?" I added.

"I don't like to speak. Now, come here and let's get over with this."

He lay down on the bed and leaned against the pillows. I moved closer to him, but the moment I joined him. He flipped us over and he was on top.

"Wh-what are you doing?"

"It was fun when it lasted... Who are you, lady?" He asked in a cold voice.

"I- I don't know what you're talking about!" What was he talking about?

"Did my mother send you? Did she ask you to behave like this? Did she tell you that her son is a man-whore?"

I gasped for breath. I didn't know why it was hard to breath. Was it because of his weight or because the fear was consuming me. "I- I don't know what you mean, really!"

"I want the truth and I want, and I want it right now. Who the hell are you?" He asked with so much hatred.

"No, one sent me! I need your help. Is that hard to believe?" I shouted back.

"You're a beautiful woman... I'm sure anyone would be willing to grant you your wish." He said through clenched teeth. "I should kick you out of my chambers," He added.

Despite his words, he didn't move at all. And I felt his press hard against my thigh and knew why.

"But you won't kick me out."

He didn't speak for a long time. "You're right. I won't kick you out." His weight was gone as he moved to the side of the bed removing his trousers.

I looked away and felt my mouth run dry. He clenched his teeth and said something I couldn't catch. "Make up your mind, angel. And do it fast."

"I want- I want you."

I closed my eyes and prayed that this will happen fast. Just please give me a baby. Please, all I want is a little baby...

After what felt like hours, we were finally done. I took a deep breath and tried to get up but failed. He seemed to notice as he stared back at me.

"Did I hurt you?" He asked me in a gentle voice.

He held me in his arms for a while, it was so sweet and so perfect. But I knew that this moment would never last. After all, I didn't mean anything to him... Later on, he pulled away and sat on the edge of the bed, staring into the dark space.

I wanted to reach out and touch him, but I couldn't do it. It was wrong because I already fooled him. I was ashamed with myself, I was a disgusting liar.

He rose and headed out of the chamber. But before he left, he said something I never thought he would say. "I want you gone when I come back here."
