In a large luxurious room, A man had his eyes closed as he savour the moment he was having. His finger run through the hair of a lady kneeling at the middle of his leg.
Augustus; the crown prince of Ammon and also the cruelest. No one dare mess with him. He was feared in the palace, a sex freak and the one with many allies.
"Take all of it" Augustus groaned out in pleasure as he watch her suck on his rod. She suddenly stop and raised her head to look up at him, her eyes brimming with tears. Augustus looked down at her.
"Why did you stop?" He asked in a cold tone.
"T..this.. is w..rong father" She sobbed, letting go of his rod. Her eyes shows she was so scared. The next thing she felt was her hair been yanked backward in a harsh way, pain spread across her scalp.
"What do you think you are doing Phaedra?" He pulled her hair harder and she wince, tears streaming down her eyes. "Are you trying to disobey me?"
His eyes alone sent a shiver down her spine, her hand reached for the hand hurting her head. His grip was so strong.
"I'm sorry" she whispered, Augustus almost didn't hear her so her pulled her hair harder.
"I can't hear you sweetheart" He growled.
"I'm sorry father. I won't disobey you. Please let me go" she cried out and he finally let go.
Augustus eyes softened, he raised his finger to her face, brushing a line of tears with his index finger. "Don't be scared. C'mon what's so bad for a daughter pleasing her father?" He asked and Phaedra felt disguited. His finger went down to her chest and brushed his finger on her cleavage, Phaedra closed her eyes.
"You're making me feel like a terrible father. I'm just preparing you on how your going to treat your husband.." He raised his finger to her lips and caressed it, a smile on his face. "Though I'm going to miss those lips of yours"
A knock discontinued their conversation, and Augustus looked up.
"My Lord, the Queen asked for your presence" One of his guard called.
"I'm busy, leave" Augustus spoke up.
"It's very important my Lord.."
"I said leave!!" Augustus roared and the place turn silent. He return his gaze back his 17 years old daughter who kept sobbing while facing her head down. Sighing, he stood up and dress well before striding out of the room.
Phaedra wiped the tears on her face, She stood up and rush to her room to wash up her face, then say on her chair. she look up to her reflection on the mirror before her. Thinking about what she just did, she felt dirty. Tears stream down her cheek again.
This is not the first time something dirty will happen between her and her father. He touches her body in an indecent way, telling her he was preparing for marriage. She most time thinks if he is actually her father or not.
Her door opened gently and she quickly wiped the tears in her eyes.
"Hey Pheadra" Her aunt Eleanor stepped into her room. Phaedra composed herself and look back at her.
"Aunt" She forced a smile but that didn't stop Eleanor to notice something was wrong.
"What happened? Did you cry?" Eleanor asked with worried look and sat beside her.
"No.. uhm.. these aren't tears" Phaedra wiping get wet face. "I just finish washing my face"
"Your eyes are a bit swollen and your face is pale Phaedra" Eleanor said.
"I'm fine.. I'm just a bit tired and sleepy. I just don't really feel okay today" Phaedra tried to keep her voice calm.
Eleanor nodded. "You should rest then. I came to tell you Zameil finally found his bride. She'll be meeting the Queen soon, you can come see her after your rest"
Phaedra nodded and Eleanor left the room. Taking a deep breath, her face dropped in sadness again.

Reaching out Augustus came across Zameil. Zameil didn't bother staying for a chat and made to walk pass him.
"Aren't you going to greet the crown prince?" Augustus said and Zameil stopped his track and sighed. "I heard you finally found the girl.. you must happy you're getting married"
Zameil turn to look at him. The person that hated him the most in the palace was the man before him. He is always finding means to get on his nerves.
"So?" He raised his brow.
"It seems you don't want her. I just hope she would be beautiful so I'll keep her busy every night" Augustus grin.
"I don't feel like marrying her anyway, so suit yourself" Zameil replied, he turn and left.
Augustus smirked, having some thoughts running through his head.
****
Alice face squeeze with disbelief as the maid bath her. She had tried telling them she can do it herself but they won't allow it.
They told her she is getting married to that Zameil guy? The one with a rude attitude. She really need to see that white haired woman again so she can ask some questions like... Who the fuck is Elizabeth?! And did she get married to that rude prince Zameil?! She was still on her thought when the maid behind her began to massage her scalp bringing pleasure.
"Hmm, this is nice" Alice muttered closing her eyes.
After she was done bathing, they covered her with a robe and lead her into a room where numerous dishes were being served.
"You should eat before meeting the Queen my lady" Helen said with a bow. "I'll come back after a while" she left the room.
"Wow" Alice smirked as she stared at the difference salivating food placed on the table. She went to sit and brushed her lower lips with her tongue.
"Come here baby" She reached for the huge chicken first and took a large bite.
"Oh father lord" she muttered closing her eyes, while savouring the sweet taste. She took another bite and moan again.
"Maybe that white haired woman is right. This place is where is should be after all.." she nodded. She grab the large cup of wine and drank out of..
"Heaven" She eyes widened as she stared at the drink. The wine is so good! She drank all of it in one goal.
After a while, Helen came back and her eyes widened. She saw Alice sitting with her leg crossed on the table.. the meal was nowhere to be found.
"M..my Lady.. did someone eat the meal with you?" Helen was shocked.
"No, is someone supposed to eat with me?" Alice asked.
Helen mouth dropped. Did this lady eat the whole dishes herself?

"May I know the dress you would love to wear today my lady?" Helen asked as she walked into a room having different beautiful ancient gowns aligned. She look up at Alice stun look and thought she loves them.. but...
"They are all not my type" Alice muttered.
Helen eyes widened and bow, "I'm so sorry my lady. I would help you find the finest gown in the kingdom..."
"Woo! Hang on there. I don't want a gown, it's just not my taste" Alice quickly said.
Helen looked up. "What's your taste, I'll get it for you"
Soon, Alice walked out of the dressing room. She was putting on a trouser and a thick jacket with a white blouse beneath.
Helen's face became paled. What is she doing?
Alice smile at the mirror before her. "Now that's what I'm talking about"
"My lady!" Helen exclaimed and Alice turn her head to her. "You can't wear this, you're meeting the Queen, you need to dress like a lady"
"I am dressing like a lady. These gown of a thing is old fashion and uncomfortable. Where I came from... I..." She paused remembering Horea's word. She can't let them know she was from the future. "This dress is more comfortable"
"My lady..."
"No, I'm not wearing a gown and that's final" Alice cut in and face the mirror again. "Gosh, it looks awesome even with the ancient vibe.." she stopped when she heard the light sob coming from Helen.
"What? Are you crying?" Alice asked.
Helen wiped the tears from her cheek. "No my lady"
Alice became worried. "Wh...why are you crying?"
"I'm just scared. If you dress like this. The Queen will lock me up in the dungeon, but if it is your wish to dress like this then I'll face the consequences"
Alice blinked severally. "Why would the Queen do that? It's my choice and not yours. Is she insane?"
Helen eyes widened. "My lady!!" She exclaimed, Alice jerked a little.
"What?"
"You should'nt use that kind of word here in the palace. You can't insult any of the royal families"
"It was a question" Alice shrugged and Helen began to sob again. "Alright, alright fine.. I'll change the dress" she huffed.
Later, Alice came out dressed in a peach gown, having unique embroideries at the bordies on the dress. The skirt was full and long, reaching her feet. The chest and waist part was firm and her cleavage was slightly exposed. Her hair was styled beautiful having a beautiful bow on it. Her make up light.. she look like a princess..
"Oh my! My lady you look so gorgeous" Helen squealed.
Alice face slowly squeeze in disgust. This is all fucked up. The dress feels like it is squeezing the life out of her. Her breast was pushed up, it was hard for her to breath. She might not survive on this dress for an hour. The make up was cool though and she hate the hair.. yeah she look pretty but she loves badass style and not this..
She look like a Cinderella and she fucking hated that movie....
Seeing the displeasing look on Alice's face Helen smile dropped. "Y..you don't like it?"
Alice quickly forced a smile and try to breath well. "Of course I do.. I.. I'm just stun by how beautiful I love" she chuckled awkwardly while Helen clapped her hand in excitement.

At the maid quarter, one could see how busy everyone was. They hardly rest in order to satisfy the royal families. They avoid mistakes and careful whenever they gossip in order to avoid punishment. Now, they have a wedding to prepare tomorrow, the palace was busy as hell.
The leader of the maid, Old Gytha is a strict hag who never for once act nice to anyone. Her face is always hard as stone and she hardly smiles. The maid feared her cus her punishment is hell.
"Get your smelly self right here!!!" Old Gytha yelled revealing some of her brown teeth. A young maid quickly ran towards her with her hair bow. "What hour are we?" She asked raising her brow.
"Uhmm.. it's.. I..." The maid began to stutter.
"It's time to check the twins you idiot! Why are you such a daft huh?!"She barked.
"I checked them a while ago" The maid replied but then regretted it immediately when she see the anger blazing in Old Gytha eyes.
Old Gytha leaned close. "Well go check on them again young lady if you don't want to spend your night with the serpents".
The maid shudder in fear. "Yes ma'am" she bowed and rushed out. Her heart pounding hard her chest as she make her way to the room.
All of a sudden, A door flung open and the maid was dragged into a room. The door shut.
After a while, the door opened again revealing, Saverina. She was now dressed in the maid's attire. Her face was cold, her make up dark as she look around.
Adjusting the hem of her dress, Saverina stepped forward.. she need to find her friend and get her out of here!

"Your highness, the girl is ready" Old Gytha informed as she bowed to the feminine elegant figure. She was sitting by the large window, staring at the sky.
Queen Delphine, the first wife of the king. She turn her head to Old Gytha and stood up slowly. The sound of her gentle step overcome the room. She was tall, and even at her old age, she look beautiful. Her golden crown glitters under the dim light.
Without a word, she walked pass Old Gytha and stepped out of her room. While walking, the maids in the hall bow their head fully without a word. Her aura came with power and no one dare her.
After the king... It is her...
Getting to the hall she spot the girl waiting for her from a distance. She was speaking with a maid with a smile as her eyes scan the hall in awe. And that alone, slightly disgusted Queen Delphine.
"Wow, this place is bathed in gold?!" Alice gasped for the umpteenth times.
"Yes, you won't believe how old is this palace" Helen whispered.
"How old?" Alice asked curiously with a smile.
"A thousand years old" Helen replied and Alice gasped.
"Awesome" Alice looked around and Imagine taking some golds after her mission. She might be so rich than her mother.
Helen spot the Queen and quickly bow her head. The Queen began to walk towards Alice.
"Imagine taking all of these.. gosh" Alice eyes brimmed with awe. "Helen.. what about the place where they keep the palace treasure. Can I visit there too?" Alice asked but the maid behind didn't reply.
"C'mon Helen tell me, nothing is going to..." Alice turn to face the maid but her eyes met the Queen instead. 'Beautiful!' that was the only one that rang in her head.
Queen Delphine remain quiet, her brow slightly furrowed.
"Cool.. damn woman you're beautiful. You must be the queen" Alice smiled and gave Helen a look.
'Bow' Helen mouthed but Alice frowned. Why should she bow?
Alice return her gaze back to Queen Delphine. Ah.. right.. they do bow in the ancient movies she had once seen...
"Oh, pardon my manners beautiful woman" Alice spoke and bow her head slightly.
'Bow harder' Helen mouthed but Queen Delphine finally spoke...
"What's your name?" She asked, her voice carries power.
"My name is Alice" Alice replied.
"Alice" Queen Delphine's eyes lingered on Alice dress. 'Why is she acting strange?' she thought to herself.
The last time she met this girl named Alice, she was staring at her in anger and disgust. Queen Delphine could remember how Alice swore to get back at her.. but now, she is different, she doesn't look bothered that she is now here in the palace. Why is she smiling? Could she be pretending?
"Yeah, nice to meet you" Alice said stretching forth her hand for an handshake.
Helen's eyes widened, what is she doing?!
Augustus showed at that moment. His gaze settled on Alice and he was right. This girl is beautiful. His eye lingered on her dress and body shape.. and he could feel the excitement growing inside him.
Queen Delphine looked down at Alice hand. Could she be declaring the war with an handshake? Many thing are strange about this girl.
Alice smile got awkward when the woman didn't bother accepting the handshake. That's one thing she can't take.
Clearing her throat, Alice reached for the Queen's hand and placed it on hers. Queen Delphine's eyes widened.
Alice spoke.
"You don't ignore an handshake beautiful woman, it's disrespectful"
The maids who heard this, eyes widened. Augustus smiled, he likes women with guts..
Did she just call the Queen disrespectful?!!
