It was ten so Hobert was taken to the hall of the queen by the ministers. Though it was forceful but he was helpless. He told the queen to forgive him and make his friends free. The queen wouldn't answer anything about this matter but she told her ministers to take him to the washroom and make him bath using soap as she doesn't want infections. The people of the village were well educated so they knew how to take precautions. Hobert was taken there. He wasn't able to do anything as he was handcuffed by the ministers. He was taken to the washroom made of wood and was made naked in order to wash his entire body. He was feeling shameful as the ministers were women too. But he was locked, not by the handcuff but by his situation. He thought that he was ruined and his life was going to be finished.
EMERGENCE OF THE NIGHT
Hobert was made clean by the Queen's ministers and was brought to the master bedroom of the queen. The room was brightly decorated with candles and it was quite obvious that there was no electricity. One of the minister unlocked the handcuff. The queen ordered the ministers to leave the room at once and give them some privacy. She also ordered them to lock the door from outside to prevent Hobert from escaping. "So, Mr. Hobert shall we begin our night which comes once in the life of all the women of this village. The night is warm and the hotness is perfect for this night." said the queen standing behind the window, holding a candle. "Before we start, can I ask you something, your majesty?" asked Hobert. "Yes sure. Be free to ask anything as there won't be anyone messing with our privacy." replied the queen. "Please it's my request to you. Please don't tell anything about this matter to my life, Lucy. I don't want to hurt her. I want to spend my entire life with Lucy, my love. If she gets to know anything about this matter, she could even kill herself." requested Hobert touching the Queen's feet. "I won't. Believe me. This would only be between ourselves. Don't worry." said the queen and ordered Hobert to get up.
The queen led her feet towards the bed and sat while Hobert was looking through the window. There was no means of escape and the doors were completely locked as ordered by the queen. Though other rooms were made of wood, the Queen's room was not anything less than a royal room.
Now, The queen began to undress herself. She held The laces of her royal dress and untied it. The dress slowly fell down onto her feet but she wasn't completely naked. She wore her inners to hide her privates but it wasn't lasted for much longer. Her shiny hair touched her waist and her appearance was much attractive for a man. She was so gorgeous that any man could be in love with her but her attitude was even worse than a beast. She slowly walked towards Hobert. On the other hand, Hobert's heart was fluttering and his helplessness even brought down tears which slowly fell on the carpet. The candles were about to be flameless and darkness was gathering fast. The moonlight entered the room and fell on Hobert's face.
Hobert saw a hand slowly appearing towards him. It touched his shirt and held the buttons. It doesn't took much time by the queen to throw off his shirt. She led him slowly to the bed and pushed him. The queen touched her body with him and whispered to Hobert "Do it." Hobert too was a man so, he couldn't control himself. On seeing the gorgeous body of a woman half naked, he turned himself around and was now over the Queen's body. He lost his control and fell in love with the queen. He forgot his loyalty to his true lover and held the Queen's coverings as well as his shorts and undressed them. He threw it away. Most of the candles blew off except the bigger candle by their side. The light of the flame fell on the romantic bodies. Their shadow casted on the walls. It showed a man pushing himself hard into a woman who was screaming from pain as if it was the first time for a couple and they continued doing it throughout the night.. The night was growing older and the scream was getting louder. "Ah...Ahh...Ahh..." cried the queen. Hobert failed to keep his true lover's trust. Hobert even kissed the queen and the comfort made their kiss lasting longer. They were even sweating due to the warmth but it was perfect for a couple, though they are not. Hobert began to feel its pleasure due to the attractive body of the queen so, he pushed himself harder and the queen's wish also fulfilled as she could now have a child if the night becomes successful. The night went off and they stopped having it. "Well Hobert you have done it great. If you want to have this night again, you are most welcome. My body will always attract you. You can't forget it's pleasure." said the queen while they were naked. Hobert didn't reply anything as he was tired of the night and fell asleep.
It is not loyal for a true lover to sleep with another person but it forces a lover to break his or her loyalty if it comes for the sake of his or her loved ones. Hobert did the same thing but he was completely unknown for the fact that a lie cannot hide behind the curtains of truth much longer.
THE BREAK UP
Hobert didn't know that morning had emerged and he had successfully passed the last night. He fell asleep while being in the bed with the queen. The queen had already woken up and dressed herself. She left the room with a smile on her face and ordered her ministers to leave Hobert's friends and his lover, Lucy. Lucy recovered from her illness and was ready to meet Hobert to kiss him but she was unknown of the fact that Hobert was in the Queen's bedroom.
She ran quicky towards the palace from treatment hall and asked a gatekeeper to give her the location of Hobert. The gatekeeper was unknown of the fact that the queen had ordered them to hide the truth. The gatekeeper told that he is sleeping in the Queen's room. Lucy found it a bit absurd but she believed Hobert blindly and could never think of what Hobert had done last night being uncontrollable. She led herself to the Queen's bedroom and saw that Hobert was on bed, naked. She completely lost her sense and tears began to fall from her eyes. She ran away from that room to a garden nearby and sat by the side of the pond.
Hobert woke up and dressed himself. He didn't know what had happened just a few minutes ago. He stretched his hands and walked out of the room. His first glance of the morning was at Lucy. He became happy of the fact that Lucy had recovered from her illness. He stood by the side of her and sat beside her. "How are you now?" asked Hobert "I am pleased that you are alright now. We could again begin our journey from today." He didn't get any response from Lucy which made his heart cold. He could hear sounds of cries. He tried to ask Lucy by taking his mouth in front of hers but she pushed Hobert and shouted at him, "Leave me alone. I don't want to see your face anymore, you bloody beast. A man could never understand the feeling of a woman." "Have...Have you seen me before in that room?" asked Hobert and his body shaked. "Now, I know the true character of you. You are a beast. How could it give you pleasure by screwing someone else?" shouted Lucy again. "You don't deserve to be loved by anyone."
Lucy slapped Hobert and left by saying a last sentence, "We are not lovers anymore. I'm done with you. Enjoy your nights by screwing others." Hobert became speechless and that thing only happened which he feared the most. "I lost. I lost everything. I lost friends as well as myself." said Hobert to himself and began crying. "I am ruined."
HOBERT TOOK A CRITICAL DECISION
The day went by but Hobert wasn't able to meet Lucy alone and tell his helpless situation that all he did last night was for the sake of their friends. He was bound to do it as he loved his friends very much. But it seemed difficult for him to make Lucy understand about this matter. They were separated and had not talked to each other since the day though Hobert tried to. Like this, a week went by and he couldn't fix their separation. But it was his dream to find the treasure together. He then made a plan. He thought that he could make Lucy a friend though she's not his lover anymore. He thought that he could make Lucy understand how much he loved her in the journey. He did not waste much time and went to the place where he found Lucy along with John and Drake.
He asked them that they couldn't live here forever. They had an ambition to achieve. They couldn't give up like this. He told them to begin with the trip again and to pack their bags. He said, "Lucy, I may not be a lover for you and we are separated but we can be friends. I don't think that friends really mind with whom he or she is sleeping." Lucy thought for some time and said, "Alright let's leave this annoying place right now. Let's begin with the trip. But remember don't ever try to sleep with me again. I'm done with these." It gave Hobert a sense of relief and restricted him from being hopeless. He said, "As you wish. Then are we friends?" "Friends!" replied Lucy and they began their journey again after a week of separation. At least now, they could trust themselves like friends.
With a smile, they packed their bags and moved across the pond and left the Lady Villa and they took a oath not to return to this village again though Hobert couldn't forget the pleasure of the night in which he slept with the queen. Still, he controlled himself and gave his concentration to reach the treasure.
Though the situation was tough to handle but his critical decision was a success. They might find enough of dangers in their path but they took the oath not to lose their hope and move forward as they had an ambition to achieve.
