The sun shone brightly into the room and Dianne groaned.
āwake up princess itās another dayā,the maid said.
āone more minuteā,she said.
āThe king is requesting your presenceā,the maid said. Dianne groaned and stood up āhow long has he been callingā,she said.
āAbout an hour heās quite angryā,the maid said.
āI need a bathā.
āat your service my princessā,the maid said and hurried to prepare her bath. Meet Dianne princess of Mesopotamia daughter to king Maximilian11 and the apple of his eyes, a girl who always has everything shoes silvers gold jewelries dresses. One thing about is that she is not the sort of prim or even proper infact she is the exact opposite. Sexy as hell with her fiery red hair her gleaming green eyes infact sheās the exact opposite of a typical princess we know I mean sheās not the type to cry over a torn dress or a swollen ankle but she definitely loses it if her dress is not embroidered with jewels Iāll say sheās the living Nefertiti an Egyptian goddess on Earth .
Oh, if I may add sheās damn good at archery horse riding and fighting with swords no one has ever won her in a battle and she never ever wears a pink dress, she prefers bolder colours that brings out her curves those gorgeous hips encased in silver linings her nipples barely covered in other words sheās vain but in a bad way.
āyour highness you bath is ready the maid said. Dianne nodded and headed towards the room made for her bath.
Dianne smiled as she slid into the pool filled with red roses and her favorite scented oil she sank into the river rubbing herself and enjoying it if only father wasnāt waiting for her āprepare my dress!!ā,she said to her maid.
āYes your highnessā,the maid said and quickly went to do her masterās words

āhow long do you think sheāll takeā, king Maximilian II said pacing.
āSheāll be here In a minute your Majestyā,the royal attendant said.
Dianne walked into the court room and genuflectedā, father you summoned meā,. King Maxim smiled on seeing his daughter.
āThere you areā.
Dianne smiled as well and came to her fatherās side swinging her hips as she went causing the Royal attendant to nearly soon. She wore a red sleeveless gown that stopped at her thighs in front with the back flowing on the floor a golden bracelet clasp around her arm.
āyou look as beautiful as the sunā.
āThank you fatherā, she said.
ābut neverthelessā, the king said taking a more serious noteā I heard you disgrace sir Caspian at the Grand opening ceremonyā,he said sternly.
āhe was making obscene remarks besides he's not worthy to serve in the King's army, I gave him the beating of his life and he couldn't defend himselfā, Dianne said.
āstill child you shouldnāt have done thatā,the king said.
āhe deserved it he's lucky heās still aliveā,. King Maximilian sighed is no use talking to her.
āwhy did you summon me father surely itās not because of sir caspian rightā, Dianne said.
āyes, you are right, a ball is taking place tonight and I want you to look your very best Dianneā, the king said.
āfather you know I hate partiesā,she complained.
āI know child but itās important that I host this ball my dear itās only for the night and I want you to be at your best behaviourā.
āYes father I'll try my best your wish is my commandā, Dianne said and bowed out.

Dianne groaned ātell him I'll be there in a minuteā, she said she pick a silver dress laid out for her and smiled it suits her perfectly father always knows her taste.
She adjusted her dress and glanced at her reflection something was missing no jewelries āMaria where are my jewelries she said and the maid rushed inside.

āPrincess Dianne Nefertiti Nigel Maximilian has arrivedā, the Royal attendant announced and everyone turned to see this great princess that they were so many rumours about. Dianne walked into the throne room majestically without giving a damn.
āall my is that the princess!ā,
āLook at what she's wearingā,
āShe looks like a whoreā, someone said. Dianne wore a silver long dress with slits in the middle showcasing her thighs, her nipples in full view to all who care to see. Many wives had to pull a tighter rein on their husbands, young ladies were jealous even if they try or they could their beauty couldn't be compared to her. She smiled to sir Caspian whom she had nearly beaten to death despite all he still managed to attend the ball probably to woo her again but he wasn't her type and never would be.
āfatherā, she said and genuflectedāI'm hereā.
āAnd as usual looking beautifulā,the king said.
āit's an honour to attend the ball made by the Kingā, she said.
ānow if you excuse me I must mix with the crowdā,
āGo child and have funā, the king said giving his permission. Dianne smiled and headed towards the ballroom she was crowded already with dignity and she got lost in the throes of people the sooner sheās done the better.
āØāØāØāØāØāØāØāØāØāØāØāØāØāØāØāØāØāØāØāØāØ
The figure turned as the announcement was made āSo the king has a daughter, interestingā, he said and nearly fell as he saw the ravishing beauty as she walked towards the throne room, she was encased in silver from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet her flaming red hair as bright as the sun.
ātell me how come you never said anything about maximilian's daughterā, he said to his right hand man his eyes still on her as she came out and mixed with the crowd.
āI never saw a reason to, after all sheās of no use to usā, the man said.
āI think they might be a use to her after allā,he said watching her as she moved effortlessly through the crowd her creamy legs in full view.
āmy lord she is but a hindrance to why we came hereā, the man said.
āa hindrance Iāll gladly takeā, he said ā now if you excuse me I have some business I need to attend toā, he said as he saw her slip from the crowdš„
Dianne laughed as she talked too people, women, ladies ,without any problem and Men who were trying to woo her but none suits her fancy once in a while she has a feeling that someone was watching her she nearly caught the person but was blocked by someone else, she shrugged whoever it was, was probably just a person either jealous or a man who doesn't have the courage to her.
Soon when the party was underway and no one notice her anymore she slipped out and was so glad to be free from the party working slowly, she moved into the courtyard enjoying the night breeze she smiled as her dress billowed in the air the breezes felt cool on her legs, abruptly she turned she thought she had footsteps,she continued but was on alert, there it is again, she turned but all she could see was shadows.
āthis has to stopā, she said and quickly did her own sleeping into shadows.
š 2 šThe figure watched as she slip from the crowd when she thought no one noticed he smiled and followed her admist the complaints from his right hand Man, he followed as she moved into the courtyard enjoying the cool breeze it blew her flaming red hair and expose those creamy legs, he had to struggle to get hold of himself.All of a sudden she turned and he quickly slipped into the shadows when she continued moving he followed again this time slowly so as not to attract attention again , she turned but he was well hidden. She shook her head and before he knew it she has disappeared Where could she have gone to he mused trying to follow where he last saw her he still couldn't find her. In the twinkling of an eye someone grab him and held a knife to his neck.ā are you following meā. the voice said. . .. šŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖDianne waited in the shadows till she saw the figure more clearly she removed a hidden
š 3 š“it’s a pleasure dancing with you and princess”, Prince Edward said just as the music ended.“ the pleasure is all mine”, Dianne said” now if you’ll excuse me”, hardly has she moved a step when someone else to grabbed her.“ what…. The….”, she started to say but collided with a brick like chest.“ i see you enjoying dancing”,“who the hell are you”, she said and narrowed her eyes.“pained, to know you've forgotten me so soon”, he said” perhaps this would jog your memory”, he said and pulled her closer to him” shall we dance”,“ you……”, Dianne said and made to hit him.“I’m afraid you don’t have to do that not why e
The figure turned and smiled. “my name, i don’t have a name”he said teasing her.“don’t play games with me”, Dianne said.“why,what do you need a name for”.“so i can find you and kill you”, Dianne spatted out.“admit it, you liked it”, the figure said.“i don’t think, killing, is enough for you”, Dianne said and the bell rang again.“your name”, Dianne prompted.“Lucien, call me, Lucien”, he said and left without another word.“Lucien”, Dianne whispered the name, it sounded so different.. ******************“my lord, i have been waiting for you a long time”, Jasper said.
"your majesty, there has been an attack on the eastern borderā, the royal attendant said as he bustled in.āhow many soldiers survivedā, the King said.ānone, your highnessā, he said. King Maximillian sighed, in just two days he had lost more than half of his kingdom and he knew who was just behind it, and he knew the game he was playing.āhow far will it be before they get to usā, King Maximillian said.āthree daysā.āthatās enough, send a message to the northern kingdomā, he said.ādonāt you think thatās too risky, youāre forfeiting your only chanceā, the attendant said.āther is no other option, i wonāt let him have his hands on her, i have to keep her safeā.āthe princess is more than capable of taking care of her self, youāve seen that yourself on the battle field, sheās even better than most of our soldiersā, the attendant said.ānever the less, i donāt plan on gambling with her life, she is precious to meā, the King said.ābut.... your majesty.......ā.āsilenceā, King Maxi
The next two days went by in a flash, there were a lot of preparation for the impromptu engagement. It was to be done in secret, especially since, there was an axe hanging over their heads, the engagement wasnāt elaborate, in fact it was a very simple one. The entourage of the northern kingdom had arrived with gifts for their beloved bride. The Prince was already in attendance, he has finally gotten the love of his life, he was dressed in white as the tradition demands, to him he would have wanted more time to plan a more elaborate engagement, he understood that everything has to be done in a hurry, never the less, he would make it up in their wedding, he would give her the elaborate wedding she rightly deserves.āPrincesss Dianne Nefertiti Nigel Maximillian, bride to Prince Edward of the northern regions has arrivedā, the royal attendant announced.Dianne walked in, dressed in scarlet which was totally against the tradition, everyone gasped. Worse the dress scantily covered her body,
Dianne sat wearily and stared at herself in the mirror, at long last, she was able to rest. Somehow, father decided to make their journey to the northern kingdoms, a little earlier, they had been trudging non stop through the woods on carriages and horses. Luckily, the northern men had built houses along the roads, making it easier to rest as they went along. Yet, she felt father wasnāt telling her the truth, what could possibly had made him in such a hurry to marry her off, speaking of marriage, she sighed, all to soon she had wished they spent more time on the road. Now, tonight was her wedding, the Prince made sure that her wedding was an elaborate one, kings and queens were invited for their wedding. Here she was, decked out in the traditional wedding attire of the northern, white and baby blue, the two colours she hated the most, she wanted a bolder colour, but father said it was proper, especially since it represented that she was untouched. The dress was hideous, covering
“you must promise me to live your life to the fullest, my princess, i don’t want to die in vain”, she said as her breath became uneven.“you are not going to die, Maria, you are not going to die”.“it is an honor for me, dying at your service”, Maria said and coughed, strugging for breath but it wasn’t forth coming. She finally gave up struggling, she raised her bloodied hand to touch her Princess cheeks..... and took her last breath.“NO!!”, Dianne cried, cried for the death of someone who was very dear to her, someone who was like a sister, now she was dead. Dianne saw red as anger vibrated from her, they will all pay, they all will!!. She stood up and with a roar, she charged. A careless soldier aimed at her and she swiped him of his feet, she sunk her sword into his chest and twisted it.“this is for Maria”, she said as the soldi
“father, no!!”, Dianne screamed as a sword was rammed into him.“that man, you call father, deserves a painful death, for your disrespect you get to watch how your father dies by my hand”, he said. Dianne could barely move as Lucien took a sword and gutted him out.“this is for my people and my family”, he said, splilling his blood and intestine every where, “you get to die a miserable death”. Prince Edward fainted at the sight, Dianne stood not wanting to believe her eyes, “he can’t be dead, pls get up, he can’t die”, and when her father made no movement.She screamed, “father !!”. All hell broke lose as Dianne released herself from their grip, one by one, she killed them all. Lucien stood impressed by her anger, she was like a goddess of war, as she killed and maimed, destroyed. No one could stand in her way, she came at him with fire in her
