" Are you really going to pick a fight in front of your king ???. Don't be so impulsive my Vixen."
Arthur whispered to her. Cassandra looked at her surroundings. Everybody was watching her including her Father. She loosened her grip on the sword.
' Damn it!!!. I am really screwed this time. What to do ???? How can I refuse his proposal??? She looked at Arthur...
'His looks and dressings reveals that he is a distinguished guest of my father. If I refuse this pervert in front of Father, he might feel insulted.'
Arthur was losing his patience...
" Your majesty, this beautiful lady is really shy to tell you that she is agreed to my proposal" Arthur spoke to the King.
' Oh really!!! How can you assume on behalf of my self??? Are you really taking advantage of me ; the princess of Zordom???? You are not that smart .... Remember Mr. Pervert, next time I won't spare you ' She promised to herself.
" I am really sorry my king, I can't agree to this proposal. " Cassandra said to the King Aka her father very politely.
" My Lord, I am really sorry to disappoint you. please forgive me".Cassandra turned towards Arthur and said apologetically.
Everyone was astonished after hearing her reply. They all knew him , Prince Arthur; the most handsome, eligible bachelor , who had never lost any battles, the dream man of every woman , who was never interested in any woman until now. Yet, he was ready to marry an unknown woman of no royal status.
" This woman is so arrogant .She refused Prince Arthur's proposal. " The crowd muttered.
Amanda, who was watching all the scenes exhaled a sigh of relief.. ' Thanks a million Holy Father. She didn't agree to his proposal. Who is this woman???. I haven't seen her in our kingdom. Prince Arthur seemed to like her. But, I can't see you love other woman Arthur. Sorry girl , I think your life is too short ' She smiled wickedly.
" Amanda , don't do anything recklessly. Let's wait ...." Cyrus whispered to her. Amanda nodded to him and observed the king who was looking at Cassandra.
" May I know the reason behind your refusal brave girl??? Do you have anyone in your mind??"King was so curious to find out the reason behind her refusal.
" Pardon your majesty. Its inappropriate to answer this question infront of everyone". said Cassandra.
King smiled to her and said to Arthur.
" In our kingdom, we don't force woman to marry someone whom she doesn't like. Every woman has the freedom to choose her man. So, Young Man, you can choose a noble lady later, after all our kingdom doesn't lack beautiful ladies"
' But ,I am interested in her only.. ' Arthur said in his mind. He secretly looked at her. She gave a wink.
' Well played little Siren. I am really impressed.. You have the guts to say no to my proposal... But, I am Arthur, I would never take 'NO' from anyone.'....
" Your Majesty ,can I take my leave ??".
" Yes lady.." king paused for a second and continued.... As you are very talented in archery, you can join our Royal academy for better training".
" Thank you Your Majesty.I am glad to join the famous academy of Zordom". replied Cassandra.
She looked at her father with admiration. Now, she understood why the people like her father so much . He is really concerned about his people. He didn't force her into a marriage for the sake of his prestige. He offered her a better training... But, she, as a daughter lied to him and started her training by herself. Cassandra felt guilty.
' I am really sorry father. I have already started training without your permission .I want to protect you and our kingdom.' she thought to herself.
' Did you really think that I can't recognize you ???I know it was you ,the moment you entered here, my lovely daughter Cassandra. Today you made me feel proud. But, I am really worried about the danger surrounding you. Be careful my dear. I hope you can surpass every difficulties ...'
" You can leave now lady ".
Cassandra bowed to her father and left hurriedly.
Arthur also showed his respect to the King and left the place. He followed her closely..
As everyone was busy watching all the games, there was no one on the streets.
The two persons moved closely.
Cassandra didn't notice Arthur who was following her closely.
" Hey beauty, Why are you in a hurry???".
" It's you again. Why are you following me??? I already said that I have no interest in you. Who do you think you are ??? I was waiting for a chance to beat you. ".She was furious.
" Oh really!!! It's been a moment and you are already missing me..."
" Yes . My hand is itching so much that it want to beat you very bad". As soon as she finished her sentence, she punched on his face. It was unexpected for Arthur.So, he didn't get time to block it.
' OUCH!!!!!!'
He spat a mouthful of blood..
' She is really Strong'.
" Hey vixen, Are you really want to kill your man??? If you want to have fight,You can have it in our bed. Let's see who will win."
' His thoughts are really dirty. Pervert!!!'
" You!!!" She was about to launch another kick, Arthur dodged her attack. Now Cassandra was locked inside his arms. She tried to free herself.
' Why isn't he moving ???.It seems I underestimated him. He has an iron body. I need more practice to fight with him'. she thought to herself.
His close proximity made her uncomfortable...
Arthur's face was very close to her. She could feel the heat from him. He leaned forward . She could feel his breath on her face. His lips brushed past her lips. Arthur bit her ear and whispered .
" Look vixen , you are mine forever. So, don't think of any other man in your life. You can't escape from me in this life or the future lives. So, it will be best for you to accept me as your man as early as possible. "
She looked at his eyes. ... Somehow Cassandra was lost in those eyes.. She saw the ocean of love for her in those eyes...Her wall of defense slowly began to melt. She felt that something strong was pulling her towards him. Arthur looked at her adorable face. He couldn't control himself. He pulled her closer and kissed her hard. Her lips tasted like honey. Arthur couldn't stop himself.... Tongue played with tongue . He explored every corner of her mouth .Both of them were immersed in their feelings...
His lips slowly trailed down to her neck. Cassandra felt butterflies in her stomach. Suddenly Arthur bit her.
" Ouch!! ! Are you a dog ???" She screamed in pain .
" It's your punishment for rejecting me in front of everybody. When this mark fade, I will make another one. So that, no one will dare to lay eyes on you ".
"You !!! How dare you ???You are going to pay for that". She was furious.
Cassandra wanted to kick herself .
' How can I let someone take advantage of myself??? What's special about him??? Everytime I will lose myself infront of him ' She thought....
" Pay for What??? Anyway,I am looking forward to that . I will pay you with my body "
Cassandra wanted to punch this shameless man again ....
"Don't think of me punching again, I will make sure that you will be screaming my name beneath my body . I will make non stop love to you".
" Stop sprouting non sense. You shameless man!!!". Even though Cassandra was scolding him, her face was blushed like a ripened tomato.
" Stop pretending dear. I know you like me. I can see that you are blushing. Don't feel shy. I am your man .Tell me, did you enjoy my kiss??"
" My man!!!. Keep on dreaming... and your kiss!!! it was the worst kiss I ever had"... She shouted at him .
" Then let me practice more" Arthur leaned for another kiss.
Cassandra kicked him hard and ran towards her horse and rode back to her place.
Arthur saw her fleeing from him like a deer escaping from a lion.. A smile appeared in his face....
' Let me see how long you can run from me ' .....
' Are you so desperate to die Prince Arthur??? How can you touch what's mine ??? '
Two pair of red eyes in the dark emitted a dangerous aura after seeing this whole incident.....
