Cursed Heir

- - - - - - - - - -

Soon, everything in this kingdom will belong to me. It was a thought George relished in. As Prince of the Kingdom, he was able to buy, do, say whatever he pleased. People would go out of their way to please him, desperate to curry favour with the future King of Ödesfarne.

As he pumped his cock into the barmaids tight cunt again, he heard her strangled gasp as she gripped the bedstead. He grinned down at her. Her face was scrunched in a way that made her look almost cute, her cheeks flushed, her hair spread in flaming curls across her pillow. He tightened his grip on her neck, enjoying the momentary flicker of panic in her eyes as he began to feel that warm pleasure rise in him. He grunted as he came deep insider her, and just as her face began to turn a deep shade of red, he released her windpipe and she immediately took a deep gasping breath and began coughing, sitting upright just as he collapsed onto the bed in satisfaction.

He could see, as her breathing returned to normal, that she wanted to scold him for the choking. It hadn't been something she had agreed to. But after all he was the Prince, so she mutedly pursed her lips as she stood from the bed, neatining her dress and hair, and examined the early signs of bruising appearing on her neck in the aging mirror in silence.

"For your trouble," he said smoothly with the smile that he knew was able to calm the most fractious of women, as he flipped a galleon onto the bed. She looked at it, hesitating, clearly unsure whether she wanted payment for her body. After all, she was not a whore. But after a glance at him and back at the coin, she reached for it and shoved it deep between her breasts. They were gorgeous breasts, he had enjoyed them greatly only minutes earlier and wondered if he would again soon.

"Thank you sir," she said, and to George's pleasure he heard a slight gravel to her voice compared to their earlier conversations. His doing, of course. Although whether it was from the choking or from the cock she had had shoved down her throat earlier in the evening was... inconclusive.

She left the room, returning to the bar downstairs and George finally stood from the bed, pulling up his trousers and moving to examine himself in the mirror.

He was all that a prince needed to be. His body was toned, but not too muscular to be beefy. He had large dark eyes, and matching dark hair that fell effortlessly across his forehead. His strong jaw and cheekbones had made for an excellent painting, that hung in the palace near his bedroom. He admired himself in it more often than he cared to admit. Who cares about vanity when you're the future king? He ran his fingers through his tousled hair and rebuckled his belt before returning down to the bar.

As he returned to the bustling bar, he slipped through the crowds. Many paused to ogle him as they recognised him, but he managed to push though with just a few passing pleasantries before heading out of the pub. He threw a few silver coins into the laps of the beggars outside before starting his lazy ascent back to the castle.

When he arrived, he was greeted by an exasperated guard at the gate.

"Prince George, we have been looking everywhere for you. No one knew where you-"

"Ah I'm fine," he said waving the guard away as he sauntered past the gates and through into the courtyard beyond. "Just visiting the people. I am their future king after all."

"By people, do you perhaps mean the young and female variety?"

The voice came from above him, and George saw a familiar figure perched on the battlements. He clambered down, landing gracefully beside George who grinned.

"Seb!" He cried as he embraced the man roughly, feeling it returned with a sharp slap on the back.

"Good to see you my friend," Sebastian said, pushing his honey blonde hair out of his face and returning George's smile with his own gazzling grin. "It's been too long."

Sebastian was like a brother to him. The youngest of five brothers, despite being a Prince, he was unlikely to inherit his fathers throne. So when he was nine, he had been sent as a ward to Ödesfarne and brought up alongside George and his twin sister Juliana. They had played, learned, sparred for many years together. In fact there had been a long period of time when it had been expected that Juliana and Sebastian would marry once grown. That was until the day she disappeared.

Now, Sebastian spent most of his days visiting other kingdoms with young princesses, or future duchesses with heirs to wealth or grandeur. Whether through Sebastian's own makings or something that George himself did not know, he had yet to be tied down, preferring perhaps to enjoy the travelling and courting.

Not that George blamed him. To be a handsome unattached young man with a strong family background was a privilege he would enjoy making the most of for as long as he could.

"So who's the lucky woman?" Seb smirked as they walked towards the castle Royal Quarters.

"Barmaid at the Old Lion, she was rather spectacular. Perhaps you should make a visit?"

"Perhaps I shall, although the stable boy I had last night will be hard to beat."

George knew that Sebastian had always enjoyed men and women equally, although he could never quite understand the appeal of fucking someone with a dick.

"Well he is all yours," George laughed.

Sebastian shrugged, "can't knock it until you try it."

"Is that an offer Sebastian?" George raised an eyebrow, flashing his winning smile and Sebastian rolled his eyes, "in your dreams you arrogant arse."

As they stepped inside the castles innermost walls, they were met by footmen who proceeded to take off their jackets. From the nearby drawing room, George heard the call of his mother.

"George is that you?" She called in her haughty voice.

"Good morning mother," he said, bowing slightly as he entered the room. His mother was sat beside the fireplace, his father across from her. She looked relieved to see him, but his father scowled.

"Where have you been boy?" He said in a bad tempered tone.

"In the town," he said innocently. "Mixing with the people."

"You were alone? We have spoken so many times now George! You should not be going out alone, you are the future King!"

"I was with him Sir," Sebastian said from behind George having followed him into the room.

His parents both looked at Sebastian and George felt that familiar annoyance he often got when they looked at him. They loved Sebastian. He was the perfect son, and they thought of him as their own. He had a distinct feeling that they actually preferred Sebastian, with his gentle manner, polite respectfulness and general likeability. No one disliked Sebastian, he was adored by everyone he met. Even George despite his jealousy could not deny it. But George was rightful king of Ödesfarne, and one day Sebastian would marry off and become King or Duke of his own land.

"Well then," his father huffed "good. We've had a sighting of a witch coven only a few miles East in the forests. Our men have dispatched many of the wretched things, but there are still a few who escaped and could be causing havoc."

The witches had often been a concern to the kingdom. The large expanse of woodlands to the East that had long been claimed by Ödesfarne, were believed by the witches to be the sacred home of their ancestors and magic. At first things between Ödesfarne and the covens had been peaceful, but then reports of magic and witch attacks began to crop up in villages bordering the woods. Then when he was only eleven, his twin sister Juliana went mysteriously missing near the woods on a ride with her riding instructor.

He had loved his sister deeply, as had Sebastian and his parents. They had never got over the loss, and neither had their kingdom. The loss of their beautiful and kind young princess, had spurred on the bloody war upon the witches that continued to this day. The hate he and all of Ödesfarne felt for their kind, was filled with bitter grief.

"Let me ride with the men, I want to help-"

"No. You are not strong enough and are too valuable to go against a witch."

He scowled, "they're not that powerful. I've killed one before."

"A young witch, who was already injured and very little threat," his father said stonily.

He remembered her, she had been limping from the woods, dragging her injured leg as she mewed in fear. He remembered watching her eyes widen with fear as his sword had ripped open her belly. He remembered the blood. It was dark and there was so much of it. She had died there on the dirt.

He blinked away the memory, pushing away tightness that had begun to clench inside him. She was a filthy witch. She had deserved to die.

"You think I'm weak, but I'm not! I need to prove myself as future king. What will the men think if I stay here hidden in the castle whilst they fight our battles?"

"They will think you are a sensible future king. Will they not Sebastian?"

Sebastian looked from George to his father and swallowed nervously.

"I... George has a point. Maybe we could go on some patrols, with guards? Show our faces, comfort the people? It may boost morale to show we aren't hiding?"

"Hm," the king said looking from George to Sebastian and then nodding. "Fine, you may go out on tomorrow evenings patrol of the local villages. But that is it. You do not, I repeat, do not go into the woods. Got it?"

Of course he listened when Sebastian said it, but he let that frustration go.

"Yes father," he said, smiling a small victorious smile.

It wasn't long before his father dismissed them, and both princes headed out into the sunny courtyard. George headed for his favourite bench and leaned back, letting the sun soak into his face.

"It's a glorious day," he sighed, eyes closedd.

"It is indeed," Sebastian agreed, sitting on fhe edge of the small pond that was the centre piece of the courtyard across from George.

George opened his eyes to see Sebastian's gaze flick away.

"How do you make everyone fall in love with you?" he asked suddenly and Sebastian looked startled.

"What do you mean?"

"Mother, Father, everyone. Everyone we meet instantly just loves you. How do you do it?"

"Maybe because I'm so dashingly handsome and charming?"

"I'm serious," George sighed rolling his eyes

"So you don't think I'm dashingly handsome of charming?" Sebastian said, mockingly offended.

"You're going to end up in that pond in a minute," George grumbled and Seb laughed.

"Honestly George, I'm just me. I don't take things seriously. And I'm lucky I guess. You have all this pressure of being the heir and knowing you'll be king one day. I think you do pretty good yourself considering the pressure you're under."

George smiled slightly, "thanks. I don't know what I'd do without you brother."

Sebastian said nothing, only smiling before lying down on pools edge and closing his eyes. George copied him, lying back on the bench and enjoying the warm morning sunshine.

The next night he was climbing up into the saddle of his favourite horse, Shadow. She was a mottled grey and black horse who he had watched grow from a foal. She had always been the most beautiful horse he had ever seen, and once old enough he knew he wanted her to be his. The feeling must have been mutual, for she never let anyone else ride her. Even the young stable boys would struggle to handle her day to day, so he made a point to come and ride her often.

He watched on in light amusement as a blushing young stable boy saddled Sebastian's horse beside him. Clearly the boy didn't know where to look as Sebastian watched too with equal amusement, desire sparkling in his eyes. It was beyond obvious to anyone with half a brain cell what he was thinking. Once he was done, the boy, who barely looked eighteen, stepped back from the horse and nodded to Sebastian.

"She's all yours sir," he said.

"Thank you, Daniel."

Sebastian gave him one last teasing smile, before mounting his horse. The boy scarpered away back to the stables, and Sebastian's grin grew as he caught George's expression.

"What?"

"You know exactly what."

Sebastian shrugged, "he isn't quite so shy in private."

"I don't need to know about your sex life, thank you," George laughed.

"Suit yourself," he grinned wickedly as they began to ride out of the castle grounds.

They were met by four armed guards, including the Head of the Royal Guard Captain Fell. The Captain was a serious looking man, with thick wirey eyebrows that were set in a constant frown.

"You're late," he grumbled.

"Sorry, it was my fault Captain," Sebastian jumped in smootly. "Thank you for accompanying us this evening."

Ever the charming one, George thought.

The captains eyebrows twitched, the most subtle sign of being appeased.

"Of course. Shall we head into Oakenby first?"

The guards flanked them as they rode East to the nearest of the villages and towns most affected by the presence of the witches. Sebastian had been right. As people saw their prince, they smiled and shouted and would come to hold his hand or stroke his horse. He shared words of comfort, smiled handsomely at the beautiful women, and made promises of support from the castle for their struggles.

After an hour of this George was becoming bored. After two, his words were becoming less comforting, his smile less sincere. After three, a nod and a weak smile was about all he could muster.

"I want to get out into the fighting," he moaned to Sebastian. "This is just pretending at bravery."

"Bravery can easily become stupidity," the Captain growled over his shoulder from where he rode ahead.

Sebastian sighed. "Your father's only trying to protect you. You're his heir, and after what happened to Juliana..." Sebastian tailed off, knowing he need not continue.

George didn't fill the silence. He knew why his father was so protective of him, but it still didn't help his need for vengeance. For his twin sister.

The sun had begun to set, and the air was growing cooler and darker as it began to turn to evening. It was then, that things took a turn.

A scream from down the road was followed by the cries of a woman.

"Witch! Witch! There's a witch!"

"Stay here!" The Captain said, riding ahead to deal with the commotion, his guards close behind.

"Come on!" Said George to Sebastian, who tried to protest, but followed him as his horse galloped down the cobbled road. Finally, some action. He felt his heart race as the horses hooves clattered down the road.

Ahead on the ground was a woman, white as a sheet, her basket of vegetables and bread scattered around her.

"I saw her- she was a witch!"

"Who? What did she look like?" One of the guards asked.

"She had a red dress with a brown shawl, dark grey hair. She was casting a spell, over there by the well and then disappeared."

The guards rode to where the woman gestured and the Captain dismounted his horse to speak to some nearby villagers.

Sebastian watching them curiously beside him, didn't see what George did. The woman's fearful face suddenly changed, dark and menacing she looked straight at George and smiled. Her eyes turning black, her teeth vicious and pointed. She pointed one boney finger to the woods, where he saw another witch. Just as she had described, wearing a red dress. They were a coven.

"WITCHES!" He roared. The woman before him snarled as the guards whipped back towards them. She stood, raising her hands towards them and they were blasted off their mounts in one gust of intense power. With a second whip of her hands, the Captain too was thrown several feet backwards, his head crashing into the floor with a sickening thud. He didn't move.

The witch in the trees had begun to run. George could not let her escape. He had to stop her. He had to kill her.

"George! No!" Sebastian yelled, but he had kicked his horse into a gallop again and followed them at speed into the tree line.

She was quick. Witches ran faster than humans, and on his horse he wasn't able to manoeuvre through the trees easily.

He jumped from the horse and briefly turned to her.

"Go Shadow, go back to the castle," he begged her, the mare's frightened eyes were wide as he let go of her reins and began to run into the darkening trees. He could hear Sebastian's voice calling behind him, but it grew quieter by the minute. Meanwhile he was catching up with the witch ahead.

He could take one solo witch.

He withdrew his sword and clutched it tightly in his hand. This is what he had wanted. To hunt these monsters. He couldn't help but feel excited as the adrenaline pumped through him.

He ran and ran, hearing the crashing of brambles so close ahead, so close he knew he would reach her if he just didn't stop. He pushed through thick undergrowth, slashing his sword at roots that almost seemed alive as they wrapped around his ankles attempting to trip him.

He finally stumbled into a clearing, and whirled. He couldn't hear her anymore. She had stopped running. His breath was ragged and he strained to listen over his racing heart for the snap of branches, or rustle of leaves.

"Where are you witch?!" He roared, "stop hiding!"

"I'm not hiding," a voice whispered in his ear. He whipped around, slashing his sword through thin air, right where the whisper had come from. He growled in frustration.

"Enough games. Face me!"

His eyes roved the thick undergrowth, and suddenly he realised quite how dark it was, and quite how far into the forest he had run.

"Why should I, little prince?" The whisper purred. Again, the voice had felt so close, he could feel the breath on his neck. But as he whipped around, he was alone.

"Filthy magic!" He roared into the trees. The darkness made it look like the very branches were writhing and slithering like living snakes, but it must be just a trick of the light he thought. He fought against the trickling fear beginning to infiltrate his prior confident excitement. Instead he thought of Juliana, of his kingdom, and let the anger wash through him.

"You witches are all the same." He spat, "You're cowards!"

"Coward? I'm no coward. I'm not the one who spends my days hiding in my castle. You've not come this close to our woods in quite some time."

"I'm here now," he growled, "and I'm going to kill you."

The witch laughed.

"Are you?" She asked incredulously. "I don't think so."

Suddenly there was a movement behind him, and he turned ready to swing, but faltered at the sight before him. Instead of the black eyed, grey haired creature he had followed into the woods, there was instead a blonde haired beauty stood before him. Her flowing locks, gently fell either side of her naked breasts, tickling her exposed midriff. Her bare feet pressed into the moss of the clearing. She looked like a woodland goddess or tree nymph. George was momentarily struck dumb.

He tried to blink away the shock, but the witch, or goddess or whatever she was, gently moved her fingers in the air and as she did he felt a wave of calm wash over him. His sword arm grew heavy, and as she slowly approached him, he grew more and more exhausted. All he had the strength to do was gaze at the beautiful woman, who seemed to glow with unnatural beauty.

"I'm so glad you came into the woods with me. We've been waiting so long to meet you properly, little prince."

As she said this, he dazedly became aware of more figures circling the clearing, at least twenty more witches, were present, watching them silently. There was no way he could fight even if he wanted to. He felt his sword fall limply from his fingers as the exhaustion and defeat began to wash over him. He became dimly aware he should be afraid, and yet wasn't sure why.

The beautiful witch before him smiled, and her smile was enough to knock him unsteady on his feet. But as he swayed, she approached and gently put her arms around him, catching him as he fell with surprising strength. She guided him gently to the floor of the clearing, leaning his head carefully on her lap.
