Olivia spun around as she heard the doors to her bed chamber open. "What are you doing in my room?"
"This is my room now, princess", I reminded her. "You can stay, or you can go. I'm not going to stop you. But I can't guarantee that my soldiers will not mistake you for one of your handmaidens should you leave this room."
"You bastard!" she cursed and raised her hand at me, but I caught her wrist before she could land another slap to my cheeks.
"Well, that's not very princess like of you." I teased, feeling her soft supple skin in my hand for the first time.
She pulled her hand back and stomped away to sit on the far corner of the bed, facing away from me. I stood where I was, admiring the view of her breasts bouncing under her gown with each step she took.
We stayed there in silence for several moments before she asked, softly, "Is he OK?"
"He's still alive. At least for now."
I probed her on her relationship with Clayton and learned that they had been dating behind her father's back for some time now, and frequent this castle as their secret getaway.
"Can I see him?" she asked softly. "Please", she added as she began to sob.
I considered my options before coming up with an interesting proposition. "On some conditions", I proposed, laying out what I wanted in return.
She agreed after some initial hesitation.
I guided Olivia down the hallowed halls of the castle and descended the spiral staircases towards the cells in the basement.
"General Arthur" the solider greeted me as we approached, his eyes focused on the beautiful woman walking alongside me.
"Clayton! What have they done to you?" Olivia wailed upon the sight of the bloodied knight sprawled on the cold dirty floor. She fell on her knees and stretched her hand through the bars, desperately trying but failing to reach the prisoner.
The knight strained to lift his head towards the direction of the woman's voice. "Liv..." the knight called out with his tired and trembling voice before collapsing back down onto the floor.
I helped Olivia back up onto her feet and wrapped my arms around her waist, enjoying the soft cooling touch of her silk gown, making a point of showing Clayton that Olivia belongs to me now. I made sure he was watching when I pulled Olivia against myself, feeling her chest pressed up against my body as she looked up at me with pleading eyes. I gazed into her sparkling blue eyes, mesmerised by the beauty in my arms. After a few seconds hesitation, she closed her eyes, tipped her toes and brought her lips towards mine. I felt her soft lips part and her tongue embracing mine tentatively. I indulged myself in making out with the gorgeous woman and for a moment it almost felt real, almost as if she was truly mine. But as she withdrew herself from the kiss, her tear-streaked face reminded me that it was not.
"Give him some food" I instructed the guard, keeping my promise to Olivia as I turned and guided her back out of the basement.
Back in the bed chamber, Olivia curled up on the bed, hid her face under her pillows and finally broke down. Her body shaking as she screamed and sobbed into her pillows. I stood in front of the bed, eyes fixated on the delicate damsel. Her ivory evening gown hiking up, unveiling a pair of toned flawless legs. The daughter of the Georian King who invaded and destroyed much of my homeland years ago, now under my captivity.
