2 days after the explosion - the palace

After making sure the collar worked properly, the prince woke up Aria with a strong stimulant he also carried around for cases like this(when he knock someone unconscious after his life is in danger and yes, it's not the first time).The blond knight slowly open her eyes and looked around in confusion but as soon as he saw the prince, she recalled what happen and charged like a board in prince direction. It's imposible to know if she was going to tackle, kick, shake, punch or dismember the prince, probably all and maybe more, but before she could reach him, an intense electric shock went all over her body, effectively paralysing her and stopping her movements.

Good thing we put the collar in her, i panic for a second there(prince)

"you never learn, do you?"(prince)

"wha.. what happened?"(Aria)

"Look at this ring and check your neck, i am sure you can figure it out"(prince)

Aria tried to check her neck but found an unknown something that felt like a collar there and then carefully examined the ring. First, she felt confusion, then came the doubt and the fear ending with an absolute panic state and a face completely white.

"no way, no way no way no way no way...."(Aria)

That panic made the prince smile and the general frown. Teach a lesson to that mad dog was something that made the prince happy, but of course his father felt really bitter about that, even if it was for her own good.

"so, you figure it out"(prince)

Aria looked at the prince, making fell even worst but then she realized that her father was there, giving her some hope that maybe it wasn't what its look like

"fffather whats going on?"(Aria)

"You will be working as a body guard for the prince until we know Prince julian life isn't in imminent danger"(General)

"Oh, for a minute I tought I became a slave"(Aria relaxed)

"You are a slave"(prince)

"but my father just said i was a body guard"(aria white again)

"If you were just a body guard, you wouldn't need the collar, right?"(prince)

"Father...?"(Aria)

You could see a look of hope and pleading in her eyes, thinking that her father would give her a perfect and reasonable answer to this nightmare or more like part of her was still in denial of the facts right in front of her face.

"Sorry dear,what the prince says its true. You will be a body guard but you will also have to wear that collar while you do it"

"what do you mean"(Aria)

"its simple, since you have tried to kill me multiple times and i still need a body guard, you will become my slave body guard as punishment for you and safety for me"(prince)

"but but,isn't it too much? I was only trying to half kill you since you cheated twice and completely humiliate me"(Aria)

"Unless you consider half killing punching me until my body fuse to the ground or hitting my head hard enough it would reach the moon, you already made 3 assassinations attempts against me and I may be the last in the line to the throne, but i am a prince and the only one left to rule the kingdom"(prince)

You could see the despair in Arias face, realizing she screw up big time by trying to hurt the prince, even if he deserved in her opinion. With the little sanity she had left, she looked at her father, in hope of maybe find a magical solution to this problem.

"I can't help you any more, an assassination a temp against the prince usually means death sentence or prison for life. If I wasn't the general and you my daughter, you wouldn't get only this level of punishment. You should be thankfull that the prince agreed to only being temporal and only as a body guard, right?"(General)

The prince could sense a mild level of threat in that sentence, meaning that the general only agreed to it because it wasn't permanent and only to protect him and nothing more. It didn't said what would happen if he tried to make it permanent or 't be tired to abuse her more than he should, but he knew it wouldn't be preaty

"Yes of course, but she will have to wear the collar and do her work properly until I am safe"(prince)

That was probably the last straw keeping her sanity safe. Before she lost her mind completely, her body made the wise choise of a compleat shut down, making her pass out on the floor again.

"I guess it was too much for her"(prince shrugged)

The general with a worried look went to see how his daughter was doing but the prince stop him before he reach her and with a smile took the stimulant.

It worked perfectly, well at least to make her open her eyes. You could see she was in a zombie like state, provably still trying to reboot her conciousness.

The prince and the general help her get up, and seeing that at least she had a minimum level of response

"general, i am going to take her to one of the empty rooms in the castle so she can rest. It should also work as her new room for now"(prince)

"Yes, go ahead and do that, I think I am going home and take a few days off"(general)

The general left the room with a solemn face and looking 15 years older. The prince pitied the guy a little, but it's not like it was the prince fault that Alice screw up big time(Well, the prince didn't consider it his fault at least).

The prince make a combination of commands and hand signals until Alice nodded and follow the prince. When they reached a room, He handed her a key and told her

"Here is the key to your new room, open the door please"(Prince)

Aria looked at the door and then the key and put the key in the key hold. As soon as she door the key and open the door a pulce hit the knight and made her hit the wall in the other side with full force, knocking her out for the third time today.The prince was 5 meters away, carefully observing everything from the sidelines

i knew it, she booby trapped the door(prince)

The room of course, belonged to his sister Rebbeca. Since he knew Rebbeca was a big S, he could guess that the door was probably booby trapped, and since he didn't want to get hit with whatever trap her sister had in storage, he used an scape goat = Aria. What surprise him was that when he took a look at her room, he didn't see any papers or materials or magic items. All he could see was furniture, some common books and her cloth.

don't tell me she only gave me the key so i would fall to her trap. She really is a sadist (prince)

The prince was pondering over this when he heard a lot of noise behind him. He could guess that the staff came after hearing the loud noise the trap made.

He came out of the room to calm every one down and check if The slave/body guard was ok, but he panic when he saw a person with red hair checking Arias pulse.

Sh*t the red dragon,what do I do, what do I DOOOOOOO (prince)

The prince started to sweat like a pig. He knew that no matter what he said or how reasonable he sounds, she would beat the crap put of him for mistreating a girl and making her his slave.

"Ehh, hi Elena, how are you?"(prince with a fake smile)

Elena got up, turn and gave him a really cold look

"Why is the girl you fought yesterday unconscious in the floor with a slave collar in her neck?"(Elena)

"There is perfect reasonable explanation for this you know"(white prince)

"and that perfect and reasonable explanation is?"(Elena)

"Well, you know that she tried to kill me yesterday, right?"(prince)

"more like punish you for being an a*s hole like usual, something i understand perfectly"(Elena)

"Even so, since she really tried to kill me in a sparing match, and 2 other times after, she will have to wear the collar and work as my body guard until we know what happened to the rest of my family"(Prince)

"and why does she need a collar to protect you?"(Elena)

"Well, she did try to kill me you know, its to make sure she doesn't beat the crap out of me the first chance she gets"(prince)

"uhu, and why is she unconscious on the floor?"(Elena)

"Well, she needs a room to sleep close to my room, right? and since my niece is using Alice room, the only female room left is from Rebbeca but its turn out that as soon as she tried to enter the room, a booby trap activated and well, you know the rest"(prince, really really hoping she swallow the b*ll shit)

"Yes, i can see the rest"(Elena)

She got closer to him, and she looked at the prince with really cold eyes

"So you are telling me that you completely humiliated the poor girl yesterday in a duel"(Elena)

"uh?"(prince)

"Made her your slave for an unknown amount of time"(Elena)

"-gulp-"(prince)

"and after ALL that, you take her to the only room that was obviously booby trapped and made her open the door?"(Elena)

"ehh,yes?"(prince chose the wrong anser)

The prince didn't even see what hit him before seeing all dark. He woke up when someone started to shake him after who knows how long

"uncle uncle uncle"(lina)

"wha...?"(prince)

He looked around and found a lot of people surrounding him all with different looks. His niece besides him was shaking his arm with a worried look, her personal maid was beside her and you could see the pity in her eyes, the rest of the staff was giving him a disgusting look.As for Aria and Elena, they were both on the floor, and Aria was sobbing while Elena was trying to console her.

and everything was going so well.....(prince)

"uncle, are you ok?"(Lina)

"yeah, I pass out for a second"(prince)

As soon as he talked, both Aria and Elena turned and gave him a disgusting look like the rest of the staff.

Great, they are friends now with me as a common enemy(prince)

He slowly got up and felt pain in his chin, neck, back of the heat and ass, so he probably got knock out by a nice hook to the chin.He rubbed his niece head to calm her down and looked to the two girls to see what they were going to do now.

"Prince, take this collar of from this poor girl, hasn't she suffer enough?"(Elena)

"No can do, like or not, she did try to kill me, this level of punishment is actually quite low already"(prince)

Elena stared at him demanding he reconsider, but the prince didnt falter one with

"Fine, then I am also staying here to make sure you don't do anything bad to her and keep a check on you"(Elena)

NOOOOO my freedom(prince)
