Chereads / The Cruel King's Only Wrath / Chapter 2 - Flower

Chapter 2 - Flower

Fiona Evergarden

"Ah, ah... not so fast my lord." My eyes rolled back feeling my climax near. "I...uh... coming." I felt overwhelmed finally able to reach a climax after so many days or probably months. But before I could even prepare myself, he took out his thing. My eyebrows crushed together feeling the sudden emptiness and completely vague. "My lo-"

"We can't have you pregnant Fiona." He said while stroking his thing pleasuring himself.

My pulse throbbed in anger. "Don't you think my lord you should satisfy m-"

"Ha, Fiona! Looks like you've forgotten your worth. You are nothing but a satisfying tool for me." He stroked himself a few more minutes and finally came on my bare stomach. I wanted to puke in his ugly face but there was nothing a tool could do.

"Of course, My lord." He got away from me while wearing his clothes. 

"What are you doing?" He looked at me with a raised eyebrow while knotting his ribbon.

I gulped as I got off the bed and completely knelt before him. "I hope this mere body were able to satisfy you, my lord." This was nothing new.

I heard his footsteps coming closer. My heartbeat fastened. I knew what he was about to do, but no matter what I could never be used to it. And soon my forehead was smashed on the harsh floor. It ached but I didn't let a voice come out of my cords.

"Know your worth, you are a slut. Why do I have to think of pleasing a slut?" Tears build up in my eyes.

"Apologies, my lord. I only thought it would be more satisfying for my lord as well." My eyes roamed towards the side where he was smashing my face. 'Only if I could kill this bastard.'

"I can't put my precious seeds in a filthy womb, can I?" I was about to rip his dick off.

He lifted his feet away from my face while I stayed in the same position. I'd rather be knelt down to earth than take a look at his disgusting face.

"I will be out of town for a month or two. So, you had better stay away from Marina. She can't be aware of a slut like you."

"Of course, my lord. Have a safe journey. I will wait for you to return."

He didn't say anything else. While I stayed in the same position naked for nearly 15 minutes, he scoffed and got dressed. Only after I heard the door closing behind me did I move my head. 

"Bastard." I looked at the clock. 5 am. "I should get dressed and go to meet Emilia."

Emilia Vasiliki

"I think these many flowers are enough for Madame's mansion." I had woken up a bit early today and gathered all the flowers of Mrs. Archon's choice. She loves light colors. For her, my grandfather harvested only pale-colored flowers. When you look at Madame Archon, you can tell why she loves the pale colors. She herself is the beauty of pale colors. Pale pink skin with her gorgeous Black hair. Her eyes are the color of a blue ocean. She had been voted as the most beautiful woman of the Narin city. While Royal Highness Sir Archon had been in love with her ever since he had placed his eyes on her. It has been said that the Madame was actually in love with a farmer boy and the Archon forced her into marrying him. By that, the Athen's King was able to achieve the Narine city and the small Sehara city as a dowry.

"Fiona's here Lia!" I came back from my daydreams as I smiled at Fiona's arrival.

"Fiona!!" I hugged her as soon as I saw her which she gladly accepted. "Why don't you visi-"

My eyebrows furrowed. " Fiona? What happened to your forehead and cheeks? Why does it have a purple bruise?" My eyes captured her frame. Fiona Evergarden, the child of a Concubine. Without Archons, there are other prestigious family who often takes concubines for an heir and if the child is a girl, she takes after her mother's name and follows her mother's lead. Fiona was one of the cases. Her mother Ema Evergarden was the most popular lady in her times. And Fiona had gotten most of her features. Tan skin, black long hairs, brown shiny eyes. She was very gorgeous. Gorgeous in the most maniac way possible. It hurts me to know she has to lead after her mother when she should have the right to live on her own.

"I fell, haha. Leave is Lia. We can ice it when we get back from the Mansion. It's already late. We should get them the fresh flowers of Vasiliki's garden." Fiona said. And wait did I mention that she was nothing but a sweetheart? 19-year-old Fiona was more mature than I was.

"Right, I will get changed. But after we get back you will let me ice it and apply medicine, okay?" I said with a warning tone as she smiled and nodded. Oh, gosh I hope Fiona can be with me forever happy and healthy.

We arrived at the mansion when the guards asked us for the reason I let him know I came to deliver the flowers freshly picked from the garden.

"Is Madame in the mansion?" I asked while holding the baskets filled with flowers. The only problem was that the flowers' smell was attracting the bees which had me and Fiona fall over a few times.

"Yes, she is. Make sure to greet before you leave okay?" We nodded at his remark. "Goodness, the bees are really tempted to your harvest, I see. I will send you a spray with the maid so that the bees won't enter Madame's place."

"Gracious, Uncle Levo, but if we spray the bees will not only die but the fragrance of the flowers will die down." I looked at him worried. "Why don't you give us a cotton and a peppermint oil? I will place it near the flower vase, that way the bees won't be attracted and the flower fragrance will stay."

"Goodness Emilia, that's a very good idea. I will prepare for it and send you a maid."

We bid our goodbyes and moved forward.

"All set, Fiona, please bring the vases. I will cut the stems and extra leaves and spray some glitter in them." Fiona did her Iconic thumbs-up and left the hall room. The hall room of the mansion was basically attached to the Queen's Bedroom. The maids and other visitors come into the hall room first to greet the Queen. I wanted to greet the Queen as well. But the butler said that she was having a chat with the Archon. I didn't bother to ask which Archon tho. It wasn't my business.

The hall room had two balconies both attached to other hall rooms of the mansion. Queen's favorite colors pistachio green and beige were painted swiftly in the hall room. A large Golden chandler kissing the roof followed by two other olive green colored small chandlers. There was a painting of The king, The queen, and both of the Archon's sons. Julian Archon and Damian Archon. My eyes narrowed at both of the brothers. They looked different yet similar. Damian had pure black eyes like the queen and blond-like silky hair like the king. His smile looked genuine and soft. It made his black eyes look like a piece of creation.

My steps moved a bit side and a huge picture of Julian Archon was framed. Black hairs slightly curled up on his forehead, his red Irish making his eyes look like a valuable jewel in an ocean. His nose was almost slightly crooked which just enhanced his features more than anything. Thin chapped lips with a nude color, one would almost say he had put on some colors on his lips. I licked over my lips. It felt oddly intense. I wasn't a teenager for god sake. 18-year-olds were considered as more than a grown woman in Athen. Chiseled Jaw, with a hard neckline. What would his Adam's apple feel like? However, he didn't smile in the pictures like Damian did. He wasn't even trying to look pleased. There was nothing in his eyes. I couldn't figure out if it was because of the picture or if that was how his eyes were at that time.

"Bzz...bzz...bzz..."

'I swear these bees!' My thoughts were disrespectfully interrupted by another set of bees. I was holding only one Flower for god sake. I moved away or at least tried to move away without hurting the bees.

"Disgraceful bees! Why don't you be attracted to the flowers of the Archons'? I am just holding one flower goodness!" I couldn't help but let my thoughts come out while swinging away. 

"Wait until I get the peppermint oil-"

My back hit something. Something solid. Oh, it had arms. Or maybe, someone solid.

My hands are in the air. One holding the harvested Sunflower and another holding a scissor. But there was another arm. Pretty tight and solid arm. It was holding me by my waist. I felt calm breathing on the top of my head. I looked up. Oh god. The Duke of Archon. Yeah, future Duke of Archon. He was holding me by my waist. And wait, why is he smirking?

"My...my Lord...?"

"I think, the bees are attracted to this flower, not the one you're holding Vasiliki." He pinched my waist. My eyes widened. But I couldn't do anything. Too speechless to even move away. But I knew what I was gonna do after I set free.

'Report him to the council!'
