Chapter 7: Weakness

-----

A tall man is lying naked on his bed next to a naked woman who seems to be sleeping.

'Where was father last night I didn't see him, I had some things to talk to him, hmm'

As he is thinking a woman barges in his room slamming the door and waking the woman up

Before he can even get angry at her for barging in his room without his permission she says.

"My Prince your sister Elsie has been seen in the place and her guard is one of the black knights"

Alistair is visibly surprised, he starts shaking from anger, what does this mean, he also is not sure, his sister who didn't show any interest in becoming a ruler of the kingdom is being followed and guarded by a knight who would only guard the king and the kingdom from the shadows. Does this mean the successor was already chosen and now they are guarding her, no that shouldn't be it's to early for it.

There must be some other reason for it, but most of them are not good for him, should he try to rope her to join him, no if she has control of one of those monsters it's enough to destroy all of my knights. Either I need to offer something more enticing or get rid of her before it gets to dangerous and compromise my plans. A women voice breaks his train of thought.

"You can leave now" She tells to the woman who barged in, she bows and leaves.

As she gets up from the bed it can be seen she is Viola the first princess.

Alistair turns around and looks at her, even though he has seen her a countless amount of times he still can't help and not visibly gulp as he sees her naked body, with her towering perky chest she will put any woman to shame, and her face is just kingdom toppling, her greyish eyebrows which look like gods drew them, with her deep blue eyes make a perfect combo.

"Dear this could be a problem for us, go take care of for me please and I will reward you again"

He laughs inwardly pleased with developments happening, although the black knights could be a problem, he is thinking more about the reward.

These two have come to an agreement to share the throne as King and Queen, they who have the highest chance of inheriting the throne have banded together. Though only a select few know this, even their father does not know about them and they intend to keep it a secret, if father knew they at best would not be able to fight for the throne, at worst they would be dead, both of them.

As she gets up and starts dressing herself, Alistair also dresses himself and leaves, trying to deal with the problem as fast as he can.

-----

Here she is sitting in her room not knowing what to do the black knight which still hasn't spoken a word to her is following her everywhere, she couldn't even go to bathroom because he followed her inside, can't even change her clothes because she is to embarrassed of him seeing her.

He seems totally unresponsive, but she is still to shy.

She tried going in a room and closing the door fast before he enters but what's a door for someone like him, he just broke them like he owns the place.

Shaking her head she gets and leaves her room

'I should ask father, maybe he can help'

As she is heading towards her father's study, she meets her brother.

"Ahh, hello first brother" She says to him, they usually don't interact much with each other, unless they are close, like her and Melissa.

"Hello there my dear sister nice to see you, and who might be this friend behind you"

As he is saying hi to her, he does not take his eyes of the black knight

"Ahh yes, this is one knight of The Black Moon Order, I don't know his name he never introduced himself"

She's surprised by her brothers question 'Shouldn't he know who the black knights are, and recognise them'

"Of course my dear sister, I know that but why is he following you, shouldn't he be guarding the king and kingdom"

Says Alistair now shifting his eyes to her, waiting for Elsie to answer the question and trying to notice anything from her speech

"That I don't know brother, he has been following me for almost a day, I'm also unsure about it, but he just wont leave me alone, can't even go to my bathroom without him following me,it's so annoying"

'It seems like she isn't telling the whole truth'

Alistair doubts her 'Looks like she isn't as innocent and naive as I thought, looks like I got another contendere'

Replying to her with a smile plastered on his face he says

"I'm sure its fathers doing ,you don't have to worry about it"

After saying that he starts leaving, thinking about what to do now with his sister

As he is leaving 'I wish if it were that simple brother'

Then she heads towards her initial destination.

-----

In a huge bathroom sits a shrivelled man in a bath full of water, looking like an old man on the verge of dying, aswell as a plant that was left unattended for some time.

"Dammit I used to much of my power, I hope this investment is going to pay off, she better be useful, otherwise this was for naught"

Lucifer was sitting in water since they left, and will continue for some time. He had to keep his image in front of the king, but he used a bit too much of his power producing those healing dew drops.

He continues sitting alone in silence thinking how to use her the best and most optimal way, it might be time for him to recover some of his power seeds.
