《The King's Queen》VIII

Chapter eight ▪
That is the flower mentioned in the story^
"My King, I have put our best and most trusted men to watch the Queen. 10 of them will always be in a car, 2 following miss Dahlia and the rest will roam the town in case something were to happen and they could get rid of the danger. The rest will be wearing civilian clothes and will blend in with the enviorment. The 10 civilians will change every week, so our Queen wouldn't get suspicious. So far nobody except for our Lords knows about her existance." Arnold spoke to me.
"Good. Is one of them watching her home?" I asked.
"Yes, my King."
"You may leave." He bowed and left my office.
After I decided that she will live without me until she is 18, I formed a plan. I would let her live, but she would be watched 24/7. So her freedom would be fake, though she wouldn't know.
All for her.
Dahlia's P.O.V.
I woke up in my bed startled.
God, I hope this was all a weird dream.
I lifted the covers off of my body and noticed that I was wearing a men's dress shirt. The same one the King from the dream wore. I froze and looked to my small bedside table and saw a dark red dahlia flower on top of a sealed envelope.
Oh Lord. This is really happening.
I took the flower and examined it. It was blood red and the colour made it dangerously beautiful. Just like him.
I put the flower on my lap as I reached for the letter with shaky hands. The hot summer air in my room seemed to get even thicker and warmer than before as I looked at the letter. It was sealed with wax and the seal had the letters 'AT' stamped into the red wax. Above the stamp, 'For my beautiful flower, Dahlia' was written in black cursive letters. His handwriting was a bit wobbly in some places, so I'm guessing he wrote it in an uncommon enviorment to write in.

Like a carriage.
I opened the seal and read the letter.
My flower,
I found your address after all. You look beautiful while you're sleeping. I am writing this to you because Thanatos, or T as I like to reffer to him, has been an asshat towards you and hasn't even considered how you would feel when he wanted to take you. I somehow got control back and made a plan. You have been safe in that town so far, so you will stay there. You will not tell anyone that you are my mate and you will have to stop talking to Lord Hudson, for his mate's and my own sake. You will only talk to him if necessary. I will let you have you freedom that you cherish so much, but in turn I expect you to willingly come with me to our home once you turn 18. It takes me a lot of will-power to make this decision.
With love,
Alexander

Ursus Ex Machina
Ozzy was a man of the wild. Raised in a remote village atop the world's mightiest mountain, he'd been taught to respect and revere the natural world. The realm he was born into had been there long before him, and it would remain there long after him. Sure, there was the occasional madman who threatened to destroy it, but such boasts were always empty. No one individual was actually capable of demolishing this beautiful blue-and-green ball Ozzy called home. No matter what terrible magics these villains wielded, they were incapable of causing permanent harm to the environment. Even if the planet was completely devastated, it would recover. Life would find a way to flourish, same as it always had. That was what Ozzy believed from the bottom of his heart, so he never once felt the need to save the world he loved. After all, it was never truly in danger. The world would be fine no matter what. The people were a wee bit endangered, but that was another story altogether. However, what would happen if Ozzy suddenly found himself devoid of his beloved wilds? What would the man do if the realm he knew - one of wonder, magic, and chaos - was replaced with a man-made environment of concrete, industry, and steam? Ozzy could never imagine such a thing happening, and yet that was his new reality. After losing a fateful confrontation with a mad wizard, he and his friends found themselves transported to a strange world so thoroughly alien that every waking moment feels like a fever dream. Separated and scattered to the four corners of this land, each of these adventurers will need to adapt, survive, and overcome if they hope to reunite. They would also need to do so quickly. The sooner they are able to find one another, the sooner they can figure out a way back home and have another crack at putting an end to the villain's plans. Whether such a thing was actually possible in a world with barely any magic in it was a valid concern, but Ozzy had more immediate things to worry about. For instance, why did the air smell like a perpetual forest fire? How did ships sail through the sky as if it were water? And most importantly, was the pavement he was hurtling towards at high speed much softer than it looked? Probably not, but a man could hope.

A Primeval Future
Follow the story of a modern caveman as he learns to survive, thrive, and shape his nascent civilization in a world yet untouched by man. Expect a focus on the nitty-gritty of primitive living, especially early on. I plan for this to eventually progressing to the settlement management and politics stage as people gravitate towards the one guy who looks like he knows what he's doing, but this will likely take some time. Despite the occasional system elements, skilling and levels will not be a part of this story. No shortcuts. There will be violence and there will be sexuality but there will be no sexual violence. I hate reading that crap and I hate writing it even more. This is my first serious foray into writing. I plan to put out at least 1 chapter a week, more when I can. Constructive criticism is very much welcomed as are ideas and suggestions! Cover image credit: "Mesolithic camp site" by Wessex Archaeology is licensed with CC BY-NC 2.0.
