It has been two weeks since Vrag returned. The royal physician is doing his daily check up on Zils. She was supposed to try walking a week ago but they didn't give their approval.
"Is it pain when I moved it like this?"
"No."
"How about here, My Lady?"
"No pain." Zils answered as Vrag observe from the other side of the room.
"Well My Lady, seems you recovery is faster than we predicted. It might not as bad as we thought last time. We will remove the support and you can try walking with the cane."
Zils looked at the cane that was rested on the cupboard by the bed. The chambermaid has brought it and Zils was speechless when she first saw it. It's platinum plated cane and round Azure jewel was fixed on a decorative carving on the top. It was light and easy to carry around.
The royal physician bowed to Vrag before he exit the chamber. Zils felt a freedom after the removal of the bandage and the wooden supports.
"That is not necessary." Zils gave a glance to the cane.
"I can't have a Princess walking around with a grandmother's cane."
"I'm not one."
"Your father is a King and that make you a Princess." Vrag took the cane and gestured his hand to help Zils stand up.
Zils took his hand and try to stand after one and a half month. Her legs gave away but Vrag supported her body.
"Thank you." Zils murmured and try to get a support from her cane.
Zils felt the dilemma for living with Vrag for these two weeks. She is confined in his chamber but he has been nothing but pleasant to her.
Zils insist on meeting Edmund when she has started to get used to walk with the cane. Vrag made Edmund wrote a letter to her. It was short but it's Edmund's handwriting.
•••
My dear Zils,
I'm fine and Vrag has been a good host for me. Do not worry, my dear sister, everything will be fine.
With love,
Edmund
•••
Zils thought to herself but say nothing, Vrag sense her dissatisfaction.
"Everything is to your liking?"
"What is it between you and Edmund?"
"Nothing?"
Zils gave Vrag a distrust look.
"Aren't you threatening him using me?"
"I didn't force anything on him."
"We are enemies, Vrag. Our countries are at war with each other. He mentioned you a good host and everything will be fine?"
Zils re-read the letter again, trying to decipher if there is any hidden message in it.
"I...I don't understand." Zils shove the letter to the table. Zils doesn't want to think the worse possibility.
But Edmund didn't have any reasons or motives to betray their country.
"There is nothing to worry about. Edmund is fine. What you need to do is to stay here and..." Vrag paused for a while.
"And?"
"Trust me." Vrag is not sure if it is the right word to use between them.
"Trust you?" Zils looked furious now.
"The first time I meet you, you raped me. Or did you forgot that already?"
Vrag and Zils looked at each other now, both tensed up.
"Edmund is the reason why I'm one of your women."
"I don't find that a problem since you seemed to enjoy my company at night."
Vrag felt a sharp pain as Zils hand slapped his left cheek. When he look at Zils, she gritted her teeth shaking with anger.
"Get out!" Zils hold the tears back.
Vrag decided to give her a space and walk out saying nothing.
When he stepped out of the chamber the first thing he see is Klog caressing his beard. Vrag gave him a displeased look. His cheek is a bit red from the earlier slap.
"What do you want, Klog?"
Klog, sensing his bad mood, smile and bowed.
"Forgive me, Your Majesty. I would like to request an audience with you but it seems I came at the right time. It's a delightful coincidence for you to stepped out of your chamber."
Vrag is not impressed, he said nothing and gave Klog a look that make him understand he didn't want to beat around the bush.
"Well..ehm...I'm not sure what I could say... but it's about your harem, my Lord."
"What about them?" Vrag can't be bothered.
Every prince in Slothia have their own collection of woman. He didn't use them anymore since Zils stay in his chamber so he asked the Prime Minister to dismiss them.
"I do understand that you have gave me an order to dissolve them but the ladies has refused to do so."
"The ladies? Hah...you mean one lady."
"Your Highness is sharp..." Klog gave him an acknowledgement.
"I will deal with her."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Klog bowed and excuse himself. He still need to report to the King on some internal matters. Vrag then go to the direction of his harem. Women, he thought.
***
The guard announced Vrag's arrival to the ladies in the room but the ladies expected him already. Some of them wearing transparent revealing clothes and some of them go without any top, flaunting their full breasts in broad daylight.
They have heard rumors on why Vrag never visited them anymore. At first they heard that he is busy with the war but now he keeps an Arethean woman and bewitched by her. They are going to seduce him back.
Squealing can be heard as Vrag go inside. The ladies all kneeled down and gave him their respect.
"Stand up." Vrag instructed them. Vrag then proceed to sit on his chair. The ladies automatically gathered around his chair.
"We missed you, Your Highness..."
"Your Highness, we are so lonely..."
The ladies who wear nothing on the top pushed their bare chest on him as they kneeled beside him. Some caressed his thigh seductively and one flaunt her bare chest on his thigh. They don't mind being fucked at this moment. It has been long since he visited them that they are worried about him.
"Where is Letha?" Vrag didn't beat around the bush.
"I'm so flattered that Your Highness is looking for me."
Letha appeared from the curtain behind. She has been well prepared. She wear a gown that have slit on both side exposing her beautiful legs. The fabric of the gown didn't help to cover her body at all. Her taut nipple can be seen under the gown. Her long wavy blonde hair is not set as she let them fall.
Letha is impressive as always. She used to be Vrag's favorite. She have a sensual body, designed for pleasures of men. Vrag used to call on her often until he realized she is too vicious to be kept.
Letha has make the harem her territory. New girls that refused to listen to her are eliminated from the harem. Either they are in accident that gave them scars, making them dispelled from the harem or they are dead.
The ladies make way for Letha. She approached Vrag, bowed, gave him her respect. She then seated herself on the left hand of the chair. Her legs are flaunted in front of Vrag.
Vrag would have been impressed in the past but not anymore. She is still beautiful and alluring but she is not attractive to him anymore. He actually find her repulsive.
"Prime Minister Klog has made it clear that you all are dismissed. You all are free to go or to be another Prince's women."
Vrag can hear disagreement voiced among the women.
"Noo... Your Highness..."
Some of the women actually started crying.
"Your Highness..."
Letha gave her best sad face and moved her body. She seated on Vrag's lap now. She then put both of her hands around Vrag's neck. Her breast is on Vrag's view.
"We can't think of other men except you..."
Letha pressed her nipple on Vrag.
"I'm so lonely I pleasured myself every night thinking about you..." Letha whispered to Vrag's ear as seductive as she can. She then nibbled on his ear lustfully.
"Get off, Letha."
Letha was shocked to hear his reply as Vrag grabbed her by her neck and pushed her down. She was dropped to the floor and the girls squirmed around her.
"Your... Your Highness..." Letha now showing her tears.
"I said you all are dismissed." Vrag stared coldly.
"Please don't throw us away, Your Highness." Letha dropped herself on Vrag's leg.
"Our loyalty is only to you..." The other girls bowing to Vrag on the floor following Letha. "We rather die than being thrown away!"
"If you really don't want to go. Fine." Vrag stand up.
"Your Highness..."Letha lifted her face with joy. She managed to get him to keep them.
"Guards." Vrag suddenly called.
Five soldiers came in with unsheated swords. The ladies are confuse now.
"If you all wanted to die being my women then fine. I will let you all die here as my women." Vrag said it without any hesitation.
Some of the women gave a shriek. Do they heard it right?
"Guards, do your job." Vrag gave the guards instruction and the ladies scattered, screaming as the guard went towards them ready to swing the swords on them.
"Your Highness, please forgive us!"
"Nooo! NOOO!"
The guards grabbed some of them, ready to slash their throat with their swords. Few of the ladies running to the back and Letha now begging for her life.
"Your Highness! Please!! Forgive us! "
Vrag gave the gesture to the guards to halt the punishment.
"So we all agree on this?"
"Yes Your Higness... Forgive us... Please spare our lives."
"Very well. I want to see this place empty by today."
Vrag then left the harem chamber, followed by his guards. The crying of the women can be heard.
