Pleasure - Agnes

I bit into another juicy grape as I sat upon my comfy, plush throne in the main hall of the base. Suddenly, a woman rushes in, breaking the blissful silence that was once mine. I put the grapes back into my platter turn to her, frustration boiling my blood. I glare at her and she immediately looks down.

"Whatever it is Cleo, it better be worth it. You interrupted my peace and quiet."

She makes sure to not look my in the eye, keeping her head bowed as she speaks. "Riana has been imprisoned, your highness. Not in the dungeons but in the her new bedroom as your brother is trying to protect her from being taken. He has grown quite close to the girl. I believe it is time to step in and remove her from the situation as she is no longer able to complete her task."

"Riana can handle herself. She is much more capable than anyone else here. Also, what gives you the authority to tell me, your princess, what to do? Hmmm. Now, be a doll and get out of my face."

Cleo squeaks and rushes off hurriedly. I laugh to myself. She's so easily scared. I ponder Lena. Lena is a smart girl. This must be part of her plan. I go back to relaxing having my full faith in the girl that I control over.
