At war

[Faremistress]

Paige can not help but to blush when she saw Sara and Ken coming towards her. She did not want them to know she had over heard them. She knew it was her right, but she still had a hard time being quite that controlling.

Before she had time to think about it the King stepped out of her bed chambers. She did not even try to stifle her laugh. He looked at her as though she was crazy. "M'Lord maybe you should visit my dressing room" she said motiong for Sara and Ken to have a seat in the sitting room as she lead her husband to another room.

"You look like a school boy who rushed out of bed because he was going to miss his lessons." she grinned looking up at him. "Let me help you." she said, running her hands through his hair. She could not resist the urge to kiss him, her tongue dancing across his lips. "We better go see what they need, it might be important." Paige whispered out of breath

 

[shadowoftheheart]

Somewhat shamefaced, Sara led Ken into the sitting room by the hand. Come what may, the Queen would tell them yes or no, so there was no point hiding their feelings now.

She glanced at Ken, still holding his hand tightly. Yes, she thought, let that be what the Queen sees when she comes in. She may guess everything else from that.

 

[Kensuke]

Ken only hoped the queen would understand. Instead of simply holding her hand, Ken took her in, and hugged her tightly. If the queen says no, it may be his only chance.

 

[shadowoftheheart]

Sara gasped quietly, at first shocked that Ken would be so bold ... but then relaxed into his grasp, laying her head against his strong shoulder, and wrapping her arms around him.

She felt slight fear, but realized too that if what they were feeling was ... she could almost not even think the word ... love, then things would find a way to work themselves out.

The look of suprise lit across the Kings face as the Queen fixed his hair and then kissed him.

"Yes let us see what the want."

He smiled at her and followed her back into the sitting room.

 

[Faremistress]

The Queen cleared her throat as she walked into the sitting room. She saw Sara and Ken embracing each other, and she didn't want to totaly startle them.

"How is your day going sweetie, is Ken teaching you well?" she asked the slave taking a seat on a small sofa. "I do hope Betsy did not give you any problems." she said casualy since she noticed she was not with Sara.

 

[shadowoftheheart]

"Betsy!? Oh my god! She must still be in my room. Oh, Queen, forgive me! I just ... we just ... I ... Ken and I ... enjoy ... each other's ... company. I enjoy being with him. Yes, I learn a lot from my scholar, but I enjoy being with him."

She blushed, and grinned, glancing to Ken, and nudging him to talk.

 

[Kensuke]

"Your majesty..." Ken began. "...I love Sara." He said looking down, then looking at Sara.

"I... I need to know. I need to know that you'll allow us to be together."

 

[shadowoftheheart]

Sara's eyes went wide, and she gasped. She shivered in anticipation, and a little bit of fear. What would she say? What would the king say?! Technically he could also separate them, but she deeply hoped he would not!

 

[therufus]

Normally the King would have punished both slaves for coming to him with such nonsense. Slaves were not suposse to "love" any one. In different times he would have tortured them both to the point where you could no longer recognise them. But now he was trying to win the love of him wife and so he stayed silent for the moment.

 

[Faremistress]

"First things first, Sara. You too Ken. I left Betsy in your care. I expect better from you Sara. Betsy is hurt deep down in her soul, and to heal that she needs to be shown the same love and respect that I would treat you with." she said with a scolding tone. "Don't think I am letting this slide, I"m not. I"m quite upset with you both. I want you both to figure out what a suitable punishment would be for your neglect and come to me first thing in the morning. she said flatly. She knew just having them pick a punishment would be almost punishment enough.

"As for you being together, I will have to think about it and talk to The King." she said in a softer tone. "I will not put a limit on your time for now, as long as you do what is expected of you. But Ken, Sara is to remain a virgin. Bottom line. I do not think that young girls should just be taken, even if they do agree.' she explained. "If and when we agree that you may be together in that way, we will discuss it." she smiled at them. "Now go think about what your punishment will be and I will see you both in the morning." she said showing them to the door.

Paige walked back and sat down next to the King, "I know that is not the type of thing you would normaly condone nor tolerate. Thank you for being paitent with them, and me." she smiled at him. "What do you think about it?" she asked.

 

[shadowoftheheart]

Sara, feeling numb from head to toe, lead Ken to her room, entered it, and was surprised to see Betsy still there.

She stopped awkwardly, glancing back at Ken, and then letting his hand go.

"Betsy I ... I am sorry that ... that we abandoned you. Can you ... can you forgive us?"

She knelt down beside her, gazing at her with a sad, earnest look. Sara felt terrible for leaving her. She was punishing herself right now in a way that was far worse than anything the Queen could inflict.

"Hmm... well for one I agree with you. Normaly I would not condone nor tolerate what they had done and said." He smiled back at her taking her hand into his. "But when I see the way you handled it without violence it really makes me happy that you are my Queen. You are teaching me so much and I feel that soon this castle will be a much happier place. No longer a place of fear but a place of respect and love for every one." He kissed her hand softly.

"As for Sara and Ken I think that if they truely wish it then they should be together. Unless you had other plans for Sara?"

 

[Faremistress]

Sara, feeling numb from head to toe, lead Ken to her room, entered it, and was surprised to see Betsy still there.

BETSY

Betsy jumped awake at the sound of the door. She saw how upset sara was to see her still there, and was afraid she was in trouble.
"Betsy I ... I am sorry that ... that we abandoned you. Can you ... can you forgive us?"
"I'm sorry I fell asleep, it is my fault. I didn't know what else to do." she said in a relieved tone.

 

[Faremistress]

"Hmm... well for one I agree with you. Normaly I would not condone nor tolerate what they had done and said." He smiled back at her taking her hand into his. "But when I see the way you handled it without violence it really makes me happy that you are my Queen. You are teaching me so much and I feel that soon this castle will be a much happier place. No longer a place of fear but a place of respect and love for every one." He kissed her hand softly.

"As for Sara and Ken I think that if they truely wish it then they should be together. Unless you had other plans for Sara?"

Paige smiled at him and returned his kiss. "I am quite fond of Sara, but I have no real plan. I enjoy her company, and I enjoy making sure she feels love. I think letting her pursue something with Ken would be good for her. I just don't want that to meen I have to give her up." she said with a touch of worry.
She looked into Alucards eyes. "Yes, this place will soon be filled with love for everyone ." she said, hoping he would see she was starting to fall for him, despite her best effort not to.

There was something about the way she said 'everyone' that told him that she was begining to love him as he loves her. He looks deep into her eyes " It warms my heart to hear you say that Paige."

 

[shadowoftheheart]

Sara hugged Betsy tightly.

"No, we shoulda taken you with us ... or stayed here with you. Betsy ... I want you to stay here with me tonight. Ken and I ... are going to be punished because we neglected you. Since you're the one we hurt, I want to ask you ... how do you think I should be punished."

Sara glanced up to Ken.

"Ken, you aren't going to be punished because no matter what the Queen decides, I'm taking all the punishment for both of us. I was made the chief slave, and I should be responsible for what we did. And I wasn't."

 

[Kensuke]

"Sara, no." Ken said. He walked and stood next to Sara.

"Whatever punishment we have to face, we could face it together."

 

[shadowoftheheart]

"Ken ... Thank you."

She took Ken's hand again, and turned her attention back to Betsy. She held her hand out to the girl.

"If you'll trust us ... we'll do anything for you that you need."

 

[Faremistress]

OOC sorry real life got in the way again...hate itwhen that happens.

Paige smiled at him, glad he knew how she was feeling. She had a hard time putting it into words just yet, but she knew she would someday soon. She rested her head on his shoulder and placed her hand on his, "I'm glad" she whispered

Paige holds his gaze for a moment before resting her head on his shoulder. She placed her hand gently on his leg. She loved the way his warm body felt next to hers.

She did not know why this once ceul beast of a man had chosen her, but he did, and she was glad. She was watching his change into a loving caring man, and it turn she was falling in love with him.

 

[therufus]

Alucard placed his hand ontop of hers and wraps his arm around her pulling her into his body. He wanted to hold her like that forever. He was so happy that she was starting to care for him.

 

[Faremistress]

"Ken ... Thank you."

She took Ken's hand again, and turned her attention back to Betsy. She held her hand out to the girl.

"If you'll trust us ... we'll do anything for you that you need."

OOC I did try to reply to this last week, but my browser closed, and it ticked me off.

Betsy

Betsy took Sara's hand gently, opening herself to the young slave. Maybe it was time for things to change.

"Sara I don't think you have done anything wrong. I am sure you did not meen to forget about me. The only punishments I know will leave scars on your back like mine. I do not want that for you or Ken." she breathed with a touch of fear in her voice.

"The Queen surely would not hurt you like that would she? She does not seem like the type to whip a slave so badly.." she said her voice still paniced. She could not bring herself to pick a punishment for the two fellow slaves. She sat on the floor shaking and scared, as she always did when she knew someone was in trouble.

Paige snuggled closer to her husband enjoying the warmth of his body. "I hope the slaves are not to upset with me. The only thing I want them to learn is how to care for each other. Thats all I want everyone to learn here." she said softly, leaning against him.

(OOC: It's all good! )

"Scars?"

Sara gasps quietly.

"Oh no, Betsy. Betsy, Betsy! Don't be afraid!"

She releases Ken's hand, and wraps her arms around Betsy tightly ... but avoids putting pressure on her back now that she knows she is scarred.

"No, the Queen would not, and I don't think the king will any more either. Betsy, I asked what you thought would be a fair punishment, because the Queen has told me that I must choose our punishment for forgetting you. Since you were wronged, in the Queen's eyes, I wanted it to be your choice. Betsy, she does not want to harm, or really even hurt, me. Or anyone at all!"
