10 Chapter nine Force - Part 1

Denle strolled back home after seeing that her friend Mayo had gone to see the crown prince on his request. She was happy for her friend, that her dream was finally coming true. Though she had her doubts regarding the Prince. She didn't feel he was good enough for her. Her friend, Mayo was too good, her heart was not fit for this world. But what could she do? Mayo's happiness came first and if it is with the prince, then no problem.

The weather was getting cold and she had to hurry. Besides, the forest seemed deserted. A maiden of OSU shouldn't be seen walking alone at the this time of the night. Thinking about it, she hurried her legs home and that was when she realised that she was too far home. She had been lost in thoughts that she forgot how Mayo's house was far from hers.

As she walked faster than normal, she felt something following her and turned only to find nothing. She looked around but found nothing. She didn't believe in "maybe". She knew something or someone was following and her intuitions were never wrong.

Not waiting to know what it was, she took to her legs and ran as fast as she could. And just like she expected, the thing or person started running after her. She wanted to scream for help but her throat went dry due to the cold breeze, making her squeak instead.

She took a turn heading to her home. Seeing that her home was close by, she sighed in relief. She saw her mum standing outside. She looked like she was waiting for her. Well, it was late, anyone would be worried.

She was just about to shout to alert her mom when was someone's hand wrapped her mouth preventing her from shouting and instead squeaking. Being that it was night, her mom couldn't see her even if she was close by. If it were a bright day, then it would have been a different story.

As she struggled to free herself from the stranger's hands, she cursed herself for coming home late. She had never been this late before. It was because she wanted to comfort her friend and unconsciously she lost track of time.

She kept struggling but it was all in vain. The person lifted her up and took her deep into the forest. With his hard chest that she felt at her back, it was clear it was a man, making her more than scared. He dropped her down on the ground, pinned her hands to the back as he talked from the back.

"Please, come with me and there will be no need for struggle"

"Who are you? What do you want?" Denle asked, struggling to get her hands free and see the person holding her captive. God, he was damn too strong!

"I am the first Prince's personal guard and His Highness requests for your services" he replied struggling to keep the young girl at bay. For a girl, she gave him problems. She is probably one of the hardest he had ever encountered. In the past, he had kidnapped girls for the First Prince and they were never this hard to hold. But as they say experience is key, he managed it being that he had handled a lot of cases.

"The first Prince? Who is he? What does he want from me?" Denle asked pretending not to know the reason. She had heard some things about the First Prince, how he treated women so now, that she was in the same spot, My God, she was done for! Her heart raced faster than normal and she struggled more and more to free herself. How did he see her? Where? She didn't spot him at the parade. Anyhow, she needed to free herself. She was not ready to lose her chastity yet.

"Please let me go. I beg of you. If you have any heart left in you, you will let me go. Please I beg you. I don't want to go to him" Denle pleaded hoping he would listen.

" I am sorry but its not in my court to help you. I have to bring you to him or I might face serious punishment and if he were to find out that I helped you, I would definitely face death" he explained hoping she would also understand his situation.

Denle struggled more seeing that her words were futile. He wasn't going to listen and she didn't want meet the First Prince. She found a stone close by and reached to get it. She stepped on his leg, pushed herself and him to the wall of the tree making his back collide with a thorn, thereby letting blood gush out of the injured area. The guard screamed in pain giving her the opportunity to turn around and hit his privacy, intensifying his pain. Then, she reached for the big stone and was about to throw it on him when she felt a cloth wrap her nose with a sickening smell causing her to sleep.

"It was good I came along" A guard who was the second personal guard for the First Prince said.

" God, she was so strong. I have never met anyone this difficult. Some of the girls struggled but this one was too strong" The First guard said groaning in pain. He held his back and tried to touch the injured area. Feeling blood on his hands, his face changed. He was a trained guard who had undergone series of hard training and a small slender girl like this could hurt him so much that he could have died if help didn't come. 'Maybe, I held her too light' he said to himself trying to pacify himself and keep his ego. Nobody must hear of it!

" Well maybe, it is because this one really doesn't want to go. Let's get her quick. He must be waiting" the second guard said making the first guard who was still recovering nod in agreement.

***************

Akun paced up and down in frustration "What is taking them so long" he muttered to himself. He had nothing to do, all he had to do was get down with a woman. But he had to confess that he had never been so agitated to see a lady like this one.

When he saw her sitting on the tree, he couldn't help but confess that this one was really special. She was beautiful, looked innocent and charming. Any guy would want to her and to say he would be having her, nothing else was more important.

Thinking about her, he promised to kill them when they came. To say they made him wait like this is not acceptable. He even sent two guards to make sure they bring her but none of them has come. What rubbish. He sighed in anger.

Just as he was about to go out to look for them, they came in with a girl in their arms. Her dark tinted skin shone under the candle light. Her face bright and relaxed as she slept. Wait, she is sleeping. "What happened?" he asked in curiosity.

The first guard who was still in pain answered "She was really adamant on not coming" he breathed hardly. The thorn was sharp and thick and almost all of it got into his skin. The effect still left a sting at the area.

Akun smirked. So she was the feisty one, this night is so going to be fun. Then he noticed blood on the first guard chest "Don't tell me she injured you?"

The first guard was embarrassed to say it but he said so anyway "Just a little"

Akun looked at the girl who was still in the second guard's hands. A strong girl. For her to really hurt his guard who had undergone the worst training, dealt with worse people without a scratch, she was an asset. Now, he was more pleased to have chosen her. Someone like her will be very helpful by His side and not to forget that she is very beautiful and complete, so many people will envious including the crown Prince and his father. He hummed in happiness.

" Drop her carefully on the bed. I will take it from here" he said a little bit annoyed. He didn't like the way the guard was carrying his thing.

The guard did as instructed "Now, get out!" kun ordered. "And don't forget to take care of the wound. We don't anyone finding out that a small girl gave you that. Do we now?' the first guard nodded and left still in embarrassment.

Akun went over to the bed to look at the angel on his bed. She is more than he expected. Akun waited patiently for her. He knew she was drugged and didn't want to disturb her. Besides, she looked interesting to watch.

After some time, Denle woke up. She had a little headache. Everything was spinning. She was squinting to see where she was. Initially , she thought she was at home but when she remembered what happened, she jolted herself to stand up.

Akun looked at her and said " Don't worry. You are okay". He had been watching her that he even forgot that she was moving. He was lost in fantasy. Never had someone fascinated him this much.

Denle heart skipped a beat, then started to beat fast. Oh no, she was in the first Prince room. Being that she was not as timid as her friend, Mayo, she said pleadingly "Please let me go. Please. I beg you. I am not ready and I don't know you"

Akun glared at her, a little angry not because of she didn't want to do it but because she wanted to leave him. Initially, he had said, he would do with her and dispose her but she intrigued so much that he felt he will never let leave him. That would be him sending her into the arms of someone else which he hated.

" I am sorry but you are someone I wouldn't let go at all. You know seeing how you manhandled my guard, you have intrigued me so much and I wouldn't want to let you go for a second. Think about something that makes you feel so good, will you let that thing go?" he asked smirking mischievously. Denle gulped hardly. Now, she knew this was serious.
