#JASMINE
Never in my life, not even for once did I think that my life would change in some certain mysterious way..
Here I was in the famous city of Marida as I was now a slave in the palace… Well, not technically a slave like the ones that run around doing hard labour but I was tasked with some easy boring tasks, attending to the Queen's needs.
While I wasn't doing that, I stayed in Sadiq's room as his concubine…. The handsome brute had kept his word, as he promised he made sure I wasn't sold off as a slave, instead, He claimed me as his own personal concubine… He wanted to me to believe he did that just to protect me but after what I've been through, I swore to myself never to trust any man… They're all the same..
In the eyes of public, I would stick together with Sadiq and pretend I was submitted to him, but once we were inside his room, I would keep my distance away from him. Sadiq never for once imposed his will on me… He would just allow me to do as I please and let me be… He even gave me his bed to sleep on while he slept on the soft fur which was spread on the ground.. I would sleep on the bed of course but i always slept with a dagger close to me just in case..
But never for once did Sadiq try to make a move on me.. Sometimes he would wake up in the night, and pray silently to the gods.. Sometimes I would hear him sniffle as if he was crying. Nevertheless, I never let my guard down.
The City of Marida was not what I expected to see… I was told that, it was city filled with riches and everyone was happy but as it turns out some of those stories weren't true. From what, I saw only the rich enjoy themselves here in this place, while the poor was left to rot.. The poor people here had no choice but to become slaves for the rich, I was shocked to see the state of things here in Marida and I felt sorry for the people, I wished I could do something to help them out but considering I was very far from home, I decided to keep my mouth shut and watch.
My stay in the palace, had its moments, some were good, some were bad … The good ones was that, I wasn't working that hard like the rest of the slaves in the palace, since I was Sadiq's concubine, I had little yet things tasks to do around the palace and also The Queens had taken a liking to me for some reason I don't know.. They treated me with kindness and shared some of their delicacies with me… When they received important guests, they would invite me over to join them… Sometimes we talked to one another, discussing about a lot of things, sometimes they would ask me questions regarding Sadiq and I told them what I could.
But despite that, there were times, I hated being together with these women especially when they're together with their sons… These are moments I loathe.
Hassan.. son of queen Saudat, would always make passes at me, sometimes using sneaky ways to touch my body.. He even once asked me to join him in his chamber, I couldn't refuse so I went… Knowing what he was planning to do.. I lied that I was on my period, immediately he heard that, he sent me out.
As if that wasn't enough, The other one Hamid would mock and ridicule me, He would other me, to massage his stinking feet, and his shoulders, sometimes he would smack me if I didn't do what he wanted, but Luckily for me, Both the queens came to my rescue.. And told their sons to back away from me.
Sometimes, I wished I was back at home… If only I had obeyed father, I wouldn't be in this mess… I know he must be worried sick and distraught, that is one and only daughter is missing…. I hope he's in good health and not to sick about my absence… Oh gods of heaven.. Why me? I would give just about anything to get back home to my father.
One afternoon, while I was in Sadiq's chamber brushing my hair, I was called by one of Queen Saudat's maids to meet her at her chamber, So I quickly went to see what she wanted me for.
Upon arriving there, I saw her talking with a couple of women.
.
Saudat  Ahhh, there she is… Jasmine… How good to see you.
.
Jasmine  Greetings your highness…
.
Dania  So this is Jasmine? She's quite a beauty.
.
Salima  (jealous) Hmph! I don't see anything beautiful about her.
.
Dania  Salima.. Watch your mouth!
.
Salima  Why? She's just a pleasure tool, nothing more.
.
Saudat  Keep quiet girl!
.
Salima  Apologies, your highness…
.
Saudat  So as I was saying….. Jasmine here is a war trophy for Sadiq… Such a fine thing isn't she?.
.
Dania  Indeed.. Hope he's treating you well?
.
Jasmine  Yes.. He is..
.
Dania  How good is he? In bed I mean?
..
Jasmine  (shocked) Good? In bed?
.
Dania  Yes… How long does he last?
.
Jasmine  (stammering) I.. Uh.. Its.. You know..
.
Dania  (laughs) Relax dear… Tell me.. How many rounds does he do?
.
All these questions were new to me… I've never experienced or felt what is like to copulate with a man, so I decided to make something up so that they would suspect something.
.
Salima  So tell us.. How many rounds does he do?
.
Jasmine  Uhm.. 6 rounds..at least.
.
Dania  (flustered) Ohh, Wow.. I mean. That's.. amazing… So he sleeps with you every night or…
.
Jasmine  Well, he sleeps with me, four times in a week.
.
Salima  (anxious) By the gods… What a man… I have to say. I feel for you… Its a miracle you can walk properly like this… You must be having a good time.
.
Jasmine  Yes.. (gulps)
.
Saudat  So tell me….do you love him?
.
Jasmine  No! How could I possibly love a man that took me away from home?
.
Saudat  I understand… So sorry to hear that.. Tell me something… What do you know about him? Has he told you anything about himself?
.
Jasmine  No…
.
Saudat  Well, that's unfortunate… Because you're in the grasp of a killer.
.
Jasmine  What?
.
Saudat  Yes… He may look like a righteous man on the outside but on the inside.. He's a heartless cold blooded killer… When he was young, he killed two if not three royal guards and then he attempted to kill his father.. The sultan.
.
Jasmine  But why? What would he gain by doing this?
.
Salima  The idiot wants the throne…
.
Jasmine  But shouldn't he be executed? Even for a prince, that's treason.
.
Saudat  Smart girl…. You see ladies… That's why I'm fond of her… She's certainly is quite educated unlike others….. Yes jasmine, he should have… But the sultan insisted on pardoning him but I know the crook has another evil plan in mind but this time he's not working alone… And that's where you come in.
.
Jasmine  Me?
.
Saudat  Yes?
.
Jasmine  But what can i do?
.
Saudat  I want you to spy on Sadiq.. Listen to his every conversation… Something that you think it arouses your suspicion…and when you do… Come and tell me everything…
.
Jasmine  But I'm scared. What if..
.
Saudat  Don't worry, he won't… As long as I'm here.. No harm will come to you. Just don't tell him anything that happened here… Just be yourself and get information which ever way you can.. And I promise you, once the b*stards plan has exposed.. I will grant you freedom to go back to your people. That is a promise.
.
My heart felt elevated when I heard that… That's the answer to my prayer.. Finally this is a chance for me to leave this wretched place once and for all. So without any second thoughts, I accepted the offer.
.
Jasmine  Oh thank you.. I accept the offer.. I won't let you down.
.
Saudat  That's the spirit… Remember… Don't let him suspect anything…
.
Jasmine  He won't.. I promise.
.
Saudat  Good.. Now you can go.
.
I thank the Queen once again and left… Finally at last, I would leave this place and go home..
.

Poor Jasmine… Little does she realize that she's a pawn in this plan of mine.. After all, pawns must be sacrificed for the greater good….
After realizing that, Sadiq somehow knew of our secret, Karim and I decided to find a way to get rid of him once and fall all but doing that was going to be difficult but Now things have changed and our plan would definitely work out easily and the key to that plans success is poor dimwitted Jasmine.. Since she was Sadiq's concubine, she would serve as our eyes and ears… But before we go through our plan we needed to know how Sadiq knew of our secret… He couldn't have known just like that except if someone told him and as far as I know, Both Aisha and I together with our men won't be stupid enough to spill the beans.
So after Dania and her arrogant daughter left, Karim entered my chamber to discuss more about our plan.
.
Karim  So the girl has agreed to help us… Does she know of our plan?
.
Saudat  No… But I fabricated some awful things about Sadiq to the girl… I promised to let her go when we get rid of him.
.
Karim  So are you going to grant her what you promised?
.
Saudat  Of course not… Immediately Sadiq is gone. She will follow next.. So what plans does Abdul have for Sadiq?
.
Karim  He's going to hire an assassin….
.
Saudat  An assassin? That's risky…. We can't use an assassin to kill the prince, it will cause problems and arouse suspicion.
.
Karim  Relax…. The assassin is meant to follow Sadiq and eliminate who ever he has contact with…
.
Saudat  That's a smart plan…
.
Karim  Now then, since we're alone…. Let's have some fun.
.
Saudat  Wait… Its too risky…. Anyone could come in at any time.
.
Karim  Relax…. It won't take long.
.
Saudat  No… I'll meet you at your chamber tonight…
.
Karim  Okay then..

#SADIQ
Things were getting a bit tense, First, I find out my brother's aren't exactly my brothers or my father's sons and then Monsters attacking us in the desert.. All this things are just too much to take in all at once but first…. I have to solve the Monsters issue first… The only person who saw them clearly was Jasmine but nobody would believe us even if we told them and what makes me uncomfortable, is that Jasmine said there were hundreds of those creatures out there and its a miracle that we even killed one..
But from what I deduced from that attack was, Those creatures were impenetrable from the outside but from the inside they were vulnerable. Close range combat would be unwise against this monsters, only long range combat would be useful and in this case, bows and arrows are to be used against them.
I had to consult Dijal about the issue telling him of my plans, but I never told him them being monsters… If not, he'll think I'm crazy.
.. He agreed with the plan and agreed to supply more bows and arrows.
After that, I decided to take the next step of my other plan… That is to expose those fakes… I'm not interested in the throne but considering how cruel and self centered my brothers are, i just can't allow them to ascend the throne and as for their mothers…. I'll make sure they too suffer the same fate, my mother did.
Later that day, after I was done consulting Dijal, I decided to go back to my room and rest. On my way there, I clashed with my father.
.
Sadiq  Greetings father…
.
Mustapha  Greetings my son… What bothers you? You look worried.
.
Sadiq  Nothing father… I'm just stressed.
.
Mustapha  I see… Well then, come let's go.. There's a celebration going on in the dining hall… You've been alone for some time now… Go out there and meet people.
.
I didn't want to go but there's nothing wrong in spending quality time with people, and besides there'll be food and drinks…
So I followed my father to the hall to dine… The festivity wasn't that much of a show but it was nice at least… There were quite some familiar faces there as well.
So I went around, exchanged some pleasantries with some of them after that, I found a place and sat down drinking some wine.
While I was doing that, I saw Sufyan together with Karim, both men were drinking and laughing as they talked…As I was staring at him, our eyes met… He gave me a smug look and made a gesture with his head for us to meet outside.
Shortly after that, Sufyan excused himself and went out, I waited for a while before going out to join him.
As soon as I left the hall, I saw Sufyan standing along the corridor.
.
Sufyan  Greetings young prince!
.
Sadiq  Greetings Sufyan… We have matters to discuss.
.
Sufyan  Not here… Too many ears around.
.
Sadiq  Let's go to my room then.
.
We left the corridor and went to my bedroom, at least nobody would listen to our conversation.
.
Sadiq  Sufyan…
.
Sufyan  Calm down young prince….. I know what you're going to say…
.
Sadiq  I have a lot on my mind now but I need to know, is there anything else you have for me?
.
Sufyan  Yes… But we have to meet later tonight to talk on the matter.
.
Sadiq  Look! What's this? I'm not in the mood for such nonsense… Why should we meet later?
.
Sufyan  Relax…. What we know has grave consequences… And I can't afford any third party to know about this…. Meet me at my place tonight…. And come alone.
.
After that, Sufyan left the room, whatever he knows must be deep… Well, I have all the time in world.. I just have to be patient before then.
As I sat on my bed, I heard a moan, I quickly stood up and examined the bed… It was covered in a thick coat of fur, and anyone could be hiding under it, I pulled the sheets and saw Jasmine.
.
Sadiq  Jasmine? What are you doing under the sheets?
.
Jasmine  Sleeping obviously…
.
Sadiq  sleeping in this heat? Don't be ridiculous… This coat of fur is thick and you would suffocate if you slept under it.
.
Jasmine  Whatever… What do you want?
.
Sadiq  Nothing… But I have to say.. You look lovely today.
.
Jasmine  (blushes) What? Why did you say that? What's your angle? What are you trying to accomplish?
.
Sadiq  (laughs) Relax… You're so dramatic…
.
Jasmine  Don't ever say that again..
.
Jasmine left and went out of the room.. What a girl.. So fiery and energetic… Well, it's still hard to believe that, she's a princess of Nishkapur… But I have to make it up to her and take her there to confirm if what she's saying is true.
#LATER......…
Darkness had already covered the skies and Marida was a bit quiet during this time… Most of the people were in their homes, with their families, while some were busy visiting friends and their lovers…
As planned, I went to Sufyan's house, for a man who loans money to people, he sure doesn't live in a nice settlement, as I entered his house, his slaves received me warmly and made me wait for their master.
While I sat waiting, one lovely lady came towards me, dancing seductively, as she came in my front, She dropped her robe exposing her luscious body.. Her bre*sts stood out firmly and her n*pples pointed out nicely, her waist was so curvy and her vaginal region was well shaved… She bent down in my front touching my thighs.
.
Woman  Greetings prince… Hope you're feeling comfortable?
.
Sadiq  Not really!
.
Woman  Well, you're in luck because I'm about to make you feel a whole lot better.
.
Sadiq  Is that so? Let's see what you can do.
.
The lady smiled and stripped my underwear, she grabbed hold of my d*ck and stroked it nicely… She looked at me in a seductive way as she pampered my s---t.. I laid back and moaned feeling pleasure all over me… It's been long since I've felt this good. The lady then s----d my d*ck slurping all over it.. I felt my body twitch and tingle, This feeling was driving me insane.. Her mouth was so warm and slippery, I could feel her throat squishing my d*ck.. Just as I was about to c-m.. The lady stopped what she was doing and planted my d*ck in between her melons.. She moulded her t--s around in a fast rhythm making my d*ck twitch like crazy..
I bit my lips, clutching my hands to not c-m so soon but this lady's bre*sts was just too much… Before long, I blasted my seed on her face and bre*sts …
I laid down flat gasping for breath, the lady smirked at my face as she rubbed her bre*sts on my d*ck hoping to get me into the mood again.
In that moment… Sufyan appeared in the room, surprised by what he saw.
.
Sufyan  Young prince… I see you're having quite a good time.
.
Sadiq  Enough! Fun time is over.. Let's get down to business..
.
Sufyan  Of course…. B*tch! Leave us.
.
The lady quietly stood up, grabbed her robe and went away… Sufyan sat across next to me smoking his shisha in delight.
.
Sufyan  My prince… This kingdom has been a stacked with sin, lust, and corruption… The rich and powerful do as they like.. Even the monarch is involved in this.. Its time for a change…
.
Sadiq  What are you suggesting?
.
Sufyan  You must take your place as the one and rightful heir of Marida.
.
Sadiq  I'm not interested in the throne… I just want this to be right again.
.
Sufyan  Then you must become the next Sultan… That's how it must be.. Unless you want this kingdom in peril and devastation.
.
Sadiq  Even if I want to be Sultan, that won't be possible.. We don't have evidence to prove that both hussan and hamid aren't the Sultans.
.
Sufyan  We do but proving it, is the issue…
.
Sadiq  so what have you found out? That's what I want to know.
.
Sufyan  Well, I do have a hunch.. I believe the Vizier and the Chief adviser of the Sultan are the fathers of hassan and hamid.
.
Sadiq  What? Think about what you're saying…
.
Sufyan  Think about it… Why do you think both men are so close to the queens? Both men are pitching against eachother… Abdul favours hamid for Faidh's daughter and Karim favours Hassan for Al-muktar's daughter Salima.. In the end of it all, there must be a winner and the victor gets the power to rule all of Marida.
.
Sadiq  It makes sense but how do we get through this?
.
Sufyan  Support is what you need and I know just how to get that for you.. In the mean time… Just stay put and prepare for what comes next.
.
I didn't know whether or not I should trust Sufyan but if there's one thing I know, Men like Sufyan definitely expect something in return for their efforts… But whatever it is, i'm willing to give him as long as our plan succeeds.
.
