He Was A Stubborn Bull

"Marcel, you are hurting me," Arianna cried out but the man in question was not listening. He just strode ahead, dragging her along with no care for her discomfort.

They were back at the base and as soon as they got into the foyer, he handed her over to the nearest soldier he could find with instructions that didn't sit well with Arianna.

"Settle her in the least comfortable room. The princess has been pampered long enough, it's time she's welcomed into the real world," He said with so much spite that made goosebumps climb up her arms. This wasn't the Marcel she knew. 

"Yes, boss!" The soldier said and tried to grab onto her but Arianna realized the tricky situation she was in and held tight to Marcel instead.

"No, you can't leave me with him!" She screamed just as Marcel pulled her grasp off him and the soldier took her away.
