Addiction
Almaric Empire
1193
The beautiful woman with olive skin steps out of the temple after performing the puja to God. Her dark brown hair glistened in the sunlight. She brought a tray of offerings that she brought from her house.
As her feet stepped onto the path that many people were walking on, the sound of her anklets drew a lot of attention. Her beautiful face stunned all eyes, including the figure of a young man on horseback approaching her with a thin grin on his lips.
"Are you deliberately attracting men's attention with your beauty?"
"Excuse me, Your Majesty. I think it is very impolite to talk to a girl on the side of the road like this." She said firmly. She tried not to care about this man who had caused chaos in her soul and mind.
The young man jumped off his horse's back, stood in front of her with his piercing amber eyes. He didn't understand why he couldn't beat her either. He was Leonidas, the crown prince of the Almaric Empire, the largest dynasty that had occupied 70 percent of the Northern Continent.
One day he will become the most powerful emperor, he has a very beautiful face, tall physique, sturdy and strong as if sculpted so perfectly by the most talented artist in the world. But why didn't this girl also give her heart to him?
Leonidas, who was annoyed at being ignored, pulled the shawl that was covering the girl's stomach, making her belly visible. He gripped her body, forcing her to look at him with both eyes.
"Please let me go, Your Majesty!"
"Your eyes always show hatred. What did I do wrong that you hate me so much, Disha?"
"I think only a person who uses his heart and brain can realize his mistake, Your Majesty. Please let me go! I have done what you want, I have hurt my pride to make you satisfied. So please, let me go!"
"You hate me?"
"That's an impolite question!"
"You hate me?"
"Your Majesty, I-"
"You just have to answer yes or no! Why do you keep going in circles?"
"If you know the answer, why do you keep asking?"
"That's because I want to hear it straight from your mouth!"
"I will be punished if I say so, Your Majesty. An emperor and a crown prince are not to be insulted and insulted, everyone must pay the utmost respect. Therefore I will endure it as best I can."
"You are very good at talking, aren't you? I want you to come back to the forest this afternoon. I will be waiting for you!" He said as he climbed onto his horse's back and prepared to leave.
"What?"
"Make sure you come, you understand?"
"B-but I-"
"I don't want to hear denial. You have to come whether you like it or not!"
Leonidas leaves after making Disha speechless and freezes in place. Disha wants to cry now, she doesn't understand why that man always pushes her?
"What's wrong? Why is your face so gloomy?" Ask Lady Margaretha, Disha's mother who is a member of a well-known noble family.
Lady Margaretha sat on the sofa sipping a cup of her favorite Darjeeling tea. A female maid stood beside her, waiting for her orders.
"It's okay, Mother." She said, trying to hide her anxiety. She knew that she couldn't possibly tell anyone about what happened three days ago to her.
Every time she remembered the events of that night, she wanted to scream. She couldn't believe that she had to do such a disgusting thing to Prince Leonidas and his non-identical twin, Prince Lucien.
For her, Leonidas is a crazy man who is very selfish and Lucien is too obedient to him even though Leonidas is his own brother.
"Your father will be home tonight. We will talk about your match. You are 18 years old, you are old enough to marry. There are letters of application from several noble men, scholars and wealthy merchants. I hope you can choose the best, my dear daughter. Because you are my only daughter, I want you to get the best man."
"Should I?"
"What?"
"Should I get married now, Mother?"
"Why not? I married your father when I was 17."
"But I don't want to get married yet, Mother. Besides-"
Disha was hesitant to say that at the moment there is already a man she loves. But she and the man had promised that they would go on an adventure together instead of living like other couples.
Life as a woman is not easy, being a partner for a man and giving birth to children. She didn't want to live just to do all that. Even if she had to live for nine times, the reality she received was still the same.
The blood flowing in her body made her destined to become a slave for a king. The Faux clan, a clan that has nine lives, is famous for their ability to live and regenerate as before even if their bodies are destroyed and she is the only woman from her father's bloodline who is referred to as the last member of the faux clan who survived the mass murder that ordered by the king after hearing a prophecy that the dynasty will be destroyed if the faux clan is not exterminated.
"Disha, can you hear me? Lady Margaretha tried to awaken her daughter from her reverie. She glanced at her daughter's skin which was not as white as the skin of aristocrats. She always complained about it because skin color is a symbol of social status.
Nobles tend to have fair skin with a pink hue, light hair and light eyes. While the faux clan is a clan that tends to be brown with dark hair and dark eyes. Even though Disha was born to a noblewoman, her skin and hair color did not come from her mother.
She is very beautiful and attractive to every pair of eyes that see her. Even though her appearance is not the same as other noble ladies, it is a different side of her that makes a crown prince like Leonidas go crazy for her.
"Did you say something, Mother?" Disha asked after regaining consciousness from her reverie. Her soul so easily flew free every time she thought about her dream of having an adventure with Prince Lucien.
Lady Margaretha frowned, she didn't know how she could have a daughter like Disha. They looked nothing alike and she hated to admit it.
"If you were a little bit whiter, surely young nobles would be lining up to propose to you. Too bad!"
"Does skin color matter, Mother? According to one's personality and heart are much more important. After all, Prince Leonidas isn't as white as the other nobles, but he is the crown prince."
"Prince Leonidas was born white with amber eyes and sparkling copper brown hair. But his hobby of hunting and joining the battlefield made him like that."
"You always care about the color of someone's skin, Mother. Try to look into someone's heart. All humans are created equal, the most important thing is a good heart."
"Tch, don't advise me! I am your mother. The most important thing now, prepare yourself because I have chosen several potential men to marry you."
"What? You chose a husband for me without discussing it with me, Mother?"
"Why should I ask for your approval? I am your mother, Disha! I have the right over you. Your father will be home this afternoon, I'm sure your father will also agree with the candidate I have chosen for you. You don't need to worry, your future husbands are from among the merchants and nobles." Said Lady Margaretha as she went to the backyard of her house.
Disha was silent. She really can't believe that her fate is difficult to be determined just like that without her permission. She really hates this, that's why she wants to go as far as possible, where she will decide for herself which path she will take.
"I hate my life."
Prince Leonidas smirks seeing Disha who walks up to him in a sheer dress which has become her trademark and makes her look sensual.
"I'm glad you came, even though you're a little late. But no problem, I forgive you this time!" He said as he greeted Disha with a helping hand.
Disha looked at him sarcastically without intending to accept his helping hand. But Leonidas who was stubborn immediately grabbed her body and hugged her tightly.
"I missed you, my dear! I missed you so much!"
"Let me go, Your Majesty! What if someone sees us?" Disha thrashed, begging Leonidas to let go of her hug. But Leonidas didn't care, he tried to get Disha by aggressively fondling her shoulder.
"No one's going to see us! Who cares anyway? I'm going to war next week, I want to spend time with you right now."
"Why don't you understand too, Your Majesty? I love Prince-"
"Shut up! If you say that name, then I will not hesitate to order my guards to kill Lucien!"
"What?"
"Listen, I will forgive what you two have done behind my back on one condition, you two are never allowed to see each other again without my permission!"
"Why should I do what you say? I'm free to meet whoever I want and I don't need your permission-"
"I am your king, Disha! Your life and that of all the people are in my hands!"
"You really have gone mad, Your Majesty!"
"Call me sick! Call me crazy! I don't care! I will be your nightmare, I will be your hero, whether you like it or not!"
Leonidas shouted loudly at her. He looks so angry. His pride was hurt, rejected by the only woman he wanted, when there were thousands of women out there who wanted him.
Disha's tears flowed, though she tried not to cry. She didn't know how she could force her heart to love Leonidas. A man who is selfish, stubborn and always imposes his will on others. He couldn't possibly give her heart away.
"My mother has received several marriage proposals. She wants me to marry soon." She said in a low voice.
Leonidas gently touched Disha's face and asked her to look into his eyes.
"Only I love you this deep, Disha! Only I can make you happy, only I am willing to die for you."
Disha was touched, she could see so much love in Leonidas' eyes and that love was only for her. How can she return that love?
Leonidas kissed her on the lips and Disha didn't refuse a kiss from him at all. She don' knew why this time she couldn't resist Leonidas's touch.
The soft kiss slowly turned into a passionate and aggressive kiss. Leonidas gently touched Disha's back and removed the dress that covered her body.
Leonidas lifted Disha's body and laid her on the grass. The smell of summer made his blood boil even more. He was happy because this time Disha did not reject him like before.
"Oh..." Disha sighed as Leonidas started playing with her vagina. She tugged at Leonidas' hair and subconsciously shook her hips.
"Your Majesty, please stop!" She asked gently. Leonidas smiled, he knew the meaning of Disha's request was just the opposite. Disha wants it again. This woman began to be addicted to the touch he gave.
Liquid flowed from Disha's vagina, she screamed and the sensation made her body stiffen. Leonidas was getting excited. He took off one by one the clothes that were attached to his body and Disha's body. His golden sparkling amber eyes made Disha mesmerized, Leonidas is the most dashing and handsome man in the whole dynasty and for once Disha admits it.
They made love throughout the quiet afternoon, the breeze bringing a bit of coolness as their bodies were drenched in sweat. Their eyes met each other and Disha hated to admit it she was starting to fall for this guy.
"What kind of woman am I? Some time ago, I hated this man so much. But right now, I'm making love to him like this." She thought. She felt so humiliated. Leonidas wiped the tears streaming down her face.
"Why are you crying? I swear I won't hurt you Disha. You are the only one I love. Marry me and be my queen."
