Ilona woke up with a fright. She sat up and in shock, noticed that her hand were no longer tied. She felt dazed still and when she looked around, noticed she was in that damn tent of idiot she did not know. She found herself on the same comfy bed she had observed, tied and on the rug. She looked over at the Pheonix, it was sitting quietly perched on its wooden stand and observing her. She looked at herself and saw that she had been changed. These bloody perverts! Not only did they kidnapping her, now they got rid of Tua and on top of that, had stripped her clothes off, bathed her it seemed ( her skin was clean and smelling of perfumed rose oil or something ). The bastards were truly vile she thought. Just then the tent flaps opened and a soldier walked in. "Good morning!" he greeted her, she stared at him with all the anger she could muster and started cussing him out. " Good morning my sore sweet ass! Where the hell am I, who the hell are you? and why did you being me hear? I should knock your teeth out! I demand to be taken home now!". In her anger, Illona had not noticed that the brutish yet handsome man was now stripping in front of her. This was all too damn much for her! " What the hell are you doing? pur your day clothes on! Did you hear me?!! I demand to taken home now!". The handsome stranger simply laughed, ad a Paige boy came in and brought him a small copper bath, the boy then filled it with hot boiled water from the fire near the hearth and the stranger sat in the rub, staring at her intently as the boy washed him. What kind of sick games is this fool playing she thought? " You demand??!! no my dear your demands mean nothing here", he said as a matter of fact to her. " in fact my dear Lady Illona, the only demands you should be focusing on are MINE!. He hissed the last word out as he spoke. Illona felt uncomfortable and gasped as he rose from his bath water, naked with his massive manhood exposed, water dripping from his perfectly sculpted body. She turned away and wished this was just a bad dream that she would awake from anytime now. " Yes my lady, I know who you are. Does my nakedness offend you? I do apologize ", he said in an almost mocking tone, " I am Dristan, the last Dragon King. You are in my tent, I am pleased that Baron Brederna was correct when he boasted of your beauty to me, in fact he did you no justice my lady! you are exquisite and now, you are mine". Ilona glared back at him, she could feel the anger rise up in her. "What??? have you lost your bloody mind?! I am no one's! I am the lady Illona Tarjer, of the House of Tarjeria. How dare you conspire with pig Baron Brederna, to take me by force from my home! I warn you, my men will deal with you harshly if do not set me free at once!". Distan finally started dressing with the help of his Paige boy . My goodness he was indeed a beautiful man she thought, quickly bringing her mind back to the horror of being his victim. " My dear, calm yourself, I mean you no harm. Why on earth would I want to harm my future bride?". Shocked but still raging, Illona screamed" Never! whoever the hell you say you are, means nought to me! And why the hell, or rather who the hell, asked you to violate my person by undressing and bathing me?!! You sir are no gentleman, you are but a swine dressed in finery". Dristan laughed aloud, he was truly entertained by this gorgeous fiery nymph standing in front of him now. She was a true vision of beauty. Hands clenched in fists, as she she stood there. Her beautiful cat like green eyes sparkled with anger, her soft pink mouth, kissed with a tinge of rose and the Beautiful white gown flowing from her beautiful body made him want to take her right there and devour, he composed himself again. " I do apologize my Lady, I simply wanted you to be more at ease and comfortable, after your harrowing journey here. I must say, your beautiful gown is an Improvement from the rags they brought you in with". She could hear the mocking tone in his voice and this made her even more furious at him. "Now you listen carefully to me, you unstable psychotic idiot! I am not going to marry you, hell will freeze over before I do. I am going to break you in half and feed you to those swine you sent to kidnap me. As for your friend that doing Baron Brederna, I will have him skinned and cooked alive. Now let me go before you follow his fate!". Dristan let out a loud wicked laugh. " Reall6 my Lady Illona, how rude! here I am pouring my heart out to you and declaring to you my wonderful news that we shall marry soon, and this is how you choose to love me? Rude!". Illona heard the sarcasm and mockery in his voice, as she grew even angrier at the audacity of this fool to even think that they would marry. "Never! Do you hear me you crazed lunatic ! never!". Nor wanting to show her fragility to her captor, she spun around as tears fell from her face and stung her cheeks. Why was this happening to her?! had she not endured enough in this life already? Dristan, this egotistical fool spoke again:" Now my lady we both know that no army is coming to your rescue, in fact they deserted you a long time ago, when the Barons you had been feeding with, bought them off and became their new employers. Yes, I know more than you think, I also know that your workers fearing for their lives abandoned you too, you were left with only Tua. " Shock and rage tire at the insides of Illona, who the hell was this handsome villain that knew so much of her a d why was the bastard repeating that she would marry him. She mused to herself that now even the maniacs seemed to want to destroy her life. Feeling helpless and in despair, she allowed the tears to fall down her cheeks as she stood with her back to Dristan. " Fine, perhaps I've been to harsh and I can see why you are fearful of me, but I will not touch you personally nor harm you. " Dristan really wanted to ravish her right there, he had never before met such a beautiful and exquisite woman, as Ilona. He could himself losing control and decided it was time refocus. He summoned his guards and informed them to prepare for their departure. He would not waste time I preparing to return home. They had a wedding to plan. He also sent also sent his maids and asked them to attend to Ilona and prepare her for the long journey ahead. She was not to be left alone and if she would be uncooperative, he instructed his soldiers to make sure she complied. " Time to go soon my Lady he said. Your new home awaits.". He bowed to her and left. Numb and in tears, Illona realized that she was in deep trouble, more trouble then she could ever have imagined.
