Chapter 1: A Prince for a Spoiled Princess
King and Queen Royal of Meleian stood on the top step of their castle as they watched another prince ride away on his horse. "Their goes another one my queen."
"Maybe the next one husband, she's just being fussy that's all."
"Fussy my ass, she's known as the bad tempered Princess. Pretty soon we're going to have to pay someone to marry Julia." He rubbed his fingers along his chin. "hummm that just might not be a bad idea."
"Husband you can not be seriously thinking of paying someone to marry her, we can not treat our only daughter that way."
"Queen I am putting up a reward for anyone who can make her marry him." He placed a hand up to stop her protest. "It is settled, my mind is made up." He turned around and went back into the castle.
As time passed the word of the challenging reward got passed from kingdom to kingdom. Princes from all over came to try to persuade the feisty princess but she screamed and fought each one of them. The king and queen thought she would never marry. Then one fine sunny late afternoon a prince from the far away kingdom of Keyan came to try his hand at getting the princess down the isle.
He bowed to the king and queen, "I Prince Adam have I come here to marry your daughter."
The king stood up and walked over to the prince, "I don't know how much you've been told but I must worn you many have tried and no one has lasted more than an hour before running for their horse. She has a horrible temper and I am a shamed to say is very spoiled, which is our fault."
The prince smiled at the king, "do not fret king I have heard all about the princess and have come prepared but I would like to be able to take her first to my kingdom and be given a year to make her go down the isle with me."
The queen stood up and protested, "You would take her from her home, spoil her and then bring her back, who would marry her then?"
"I would not take her virginity unless I first gave her my royal name, I give you my word and will pay you double what you where going to pay me if I do but if at the end of the year she has agreed to marry me I want to be paid double for my time."
The queen was ready to protest again but the king put his hand up to stop her. He walked over and took the princes hand, "you got a deal." The king dipped into his pocket then pulled out a heart shaped key. "Here is the key to her chambers. If you need anything for your trip back please just ask my servants they will fill all your needs.
The prince placed the key in his pocket, thanked them and left the hall. He got directions from the servants then after going to get a few things from his travel pack he made his way towards the princess's chambers.
Unlocking the door to the chamber he stepped inside and locked the door behind him.
"Excuse me what are you doing in my chambers get out," she yelled. She picked up a water jug and threw it across the room towards his head. He jerked sideways letting it smash against the door then a large evil grin formed on his lips. "I am really going to enjoy punishing you for that one sweetheart."
He took four large steps towards her then at once he grabbed her arms, he pinned them behind her before she knew what he was doing. She kicked, screamed and fought him like a cat but to no avail, he ignored it all as he dragged her towards the bed. He threw her on the bed then after binding her wrists together tied them to the headboard. Then after he fought with her to tie her feet together he tied them to the footboard. He stood back smiling as she screamed he pulled two pieces of cloth from his pocket he stuffed one into her mouth then before she could spit it out he tied the other one over top of her mouth then tied it tightly at the back of her head. "There that should shut you big mouth up for a while he gave her cheek a couple of hard slaps. "Yup it's really going to be fun to train you sweetheart. I live for a challenge."
There was a knock on the door. "Enter," the prince said as he sat on the edge of the bed. A maid came in, "I've come to ask you and the princess if you are... coming down to eat in the main hall?"
"No we will be taking dinner in her chambers. The princess won't need a plate, just place extra food on my plate and I'll make sure the princess gets a chance to eat. Oh and make sure my men and all our horses are taken care of and ready for tomorrow. Also I'll need a pack horse to carry our stuff back and one for the princess, she won't need a saddle." He grinned at the princess, "We will be leaving at dawn for three days ride."
She curtsied, "yes sir." She turned around and left.
The prince walked over to the bed and sat down. Taking his boots off he placed his feet up on the bed and watched her for a while finally brushing her hair from her face with his fingertips. She jerked her face away from his hand only to feel his hand slap her cheek hard then he clasped her chin forcing her to look into his eyes. "That is one of the attitudes that you will be changing my dear," he grinned at her. "You and I have a long painful road to travel." He was interrupted with another knock on the door. "Come in." The maid came in with a tray of food and set it down on the dresser. "Prince Adam sir will that be all?"
Pulling his gaze away from princess Julia he glanced over at the maid and smiled as he noticed how big her eyes where as she stared at the princess. He got up off the bed and moved over beside her and looked down at her, "nice and quiet for a change isn't she?"
She looked up into his amused eyes and smiled, "yes sir. Will you be needing me for anything else tonight sir, turn down the princess's bed or get her changed for bed or anything?" she looked over at the princess again.
He leaned down closer to her ear and with smirk in the corner of his lips he said, "no! I'll be dealing with the princess's needs for a while." He stood up again, "you can retire for the night but have breakfast early for us we're leaving at dawn." He flicked her, a gold piece and gave her a smile.
She curtsied then with a huge smile. "I will have your breakfast all ready, goodnight sir." She turned towards the door quickly making a quiet exit.
The prince grabbed the tray of food and made his way back to the bed. Sitting up on the bed beside her he started to eat. Slowly her gaze drifted up towards his face. He smiled down at her, "Would you like some?" When she looked away from his gaze he continued on eating. Until he herd her stomach gurgle. He smiled down at her; "I will take your gag off and feed you if you ask properly."
She looked up at him then he said, "I will take it off but you will behave and not scream or it goes back on. You will also ask please when you want something to eat or drink. You shall say may I have something to eat please."
She scowled at him and looked away. He grabbed her chin, making her look at him, "Suit your self but I suggest if you decline to drop that stubborn pride of yours to eat your super than I suggest you drop it by tomorrow morning. We have a full day of riding to do and except for two small piss breaks we don't stop till dusk." He flicked her chin away and proceeded to eat his meal.
A few tears escaped from her eyes but after her stomach gurgled again she turned her eyes towards him.
He stopped eating and without a smile this time said, "hungry?"
She nodded slowly.
He put the tray of food down and untied the gag. "Except for to ask me for a bite of food you will not speak or the gag will go back on." He pulled the cloth out of her mouth and placed it on the bed beside him then picked up the tray again.
Almost at a whisper because her mouth was so dry from the cloth in her mouth, she said, "I'm thirsty."
