‘More innocents dead…’ The woman thought as she walked beside her King as they walked away from the scene.

The King Adrian, whose name was known throughout all the lands, looked at the gorgeous young lady next to him, wondering if she regretted embarrassing him in front of his people.  He doubted it, while she would have despised that he called the girls worthless, she liked killing people.  It was what he trained her to do, and he knew that she relished and enjoyed it most of the time.

“Angelica, my angel, what did you think about the village, do you think their unrest will cease now that their little girls are dead?”  King Adrian asked, trying to see if she betrayed any emotion with her answer.

She did not answer right away, taking great consideration before speaking.

“For now their unrest is settled.  That’s all you care about, correct my Lord?” She said in a matter of fact tone.

“Of course! All uprising must be crushed before word of them spreads, for no one tries to usurp me!” He passionately exclaimed.  

“My Lord… no one would dream of challenging your power.  After all, you killed almost all the of Magyks, who were the most competition to you power.  The people without magyk, cannot help but become compelled by your voice, with perhaps a bit of persuasion needed from time to time.  There is no one who can beat you.”  She said softly.

Adrian looked at his servant, looking at her for any sort of sadness with the death of so many Magyks, but could only see her unemotioned beautiful face.  He traced a finger across her cheek.

She shifted her head, looking in a direction as if she had seen some sort of danger, scanning the area for a bit, before continuing her usual stance.

The King’s finger still hung in the air.  He looked around as she did, wondering if there was something to worry about, long after she had stopped looking in that direction.  If he had looked back he would have seen her smirk for an instance, then have a sad look of remembrance of the past.

Adrian was planning on talking more about Magyks and taunting her with the talk, but she had been effective in distracting him, so he forgot all about the Magyks.

“My Lord, is there any royalty of the lands that you want me to persuade to join your kingdom while I am out in search of the one you seek?  For it will take a while to find out his whereabouts.”

“Yes, Milady Makala, she has been too adamant about stopping the expansion of my empire.  She must be assimilated into the empire or someone else who is more partial to our cause must rise above her.  The usual methods should work well enough."

With that his servant raises an eyebrow.

“You think a ruler as popular as Milady Makala will be removed from power and assimilated into the empire easily?  Most of the countries we have brought into the empire were either because they knew we could come with forces and take it from them anyway, or they approved of still being regent or king of their land, and thought that providing soldiers and coin to the empire was a small price to pay to stay in power.  Milady Makala has a mighty army who are all loyal to her.  We have not been able to get any of the soldiers to come to our side or get any of our soldiers into her army...” She started saying.

“Does my angel not think she can accomplish such a task?”  He said with no tone of endearment this time, but instead his voice was low and threatening.  “Do I have to remind my angel that she must do my bidding?”

Quicker than his eye moved, her blade was by his throat.  The fear in his eyes was great, earning a chuckle from the deadly woman at his side.  

“My Lord, do you truly think that I am incapable of doing your will?  You insult me!  You are mistaken; I have never failed in any task you have given me.  I just was saying that it will be no small feat to bring about what you want.  It might even provide a bit of a challenge for me.”  She grinned evilly.  “I haven’t had a challenge in a long time…”

“STOP THIS BLADE NONSENSE!” He shouted at her.  Even knowing she could never bring her blade closer to him than this, he did not approve of her making him squirm.  He stared into her eyes with fury.  “LOWER YOUR BLADE!”

She looked back at him with a fury in her eyes, but appeared to be concentrating more on her blade.  It still stayed there for a few moments, with slight quivering, but eventually her blade lowered, to the annoyance of the woman.

Adrian grinned, knowing that no matter how much she wanted to kill him, she could not.  Nor could she let him be injured in any way.

“I suggest, my pet, that you go on your way now.  Before I decide you need ample punishment.”  King Adrian said with authority in his voice.

“You know better than that my Lord.  You have way of punishing me no matter where I go…”  She says as she walks away, and into the forest.  But right before entering the forest, she whistled loudly, telling King Adrian’s guards he had with him that she was leaving and now to cover him at a closer distance.

“I will be back as soon as I have completed my missions my Lord.” She says as she bows then disappears into the forest.

I like the way the woman isn't afraid of the king and even go so far as to unsheathe her blade. It shows that she was trained very well, yet despite all her training she has sustained a certain glimmer of her own self within her. I must read more!!!! so intriguing! to whom did she receive her training from? and who is she hunting down? And why aid such a malicious man? I must know!
