"All my life, I have never been touched by a man. I've remained clean and chaste" - Ava Goodchild

...

I remembered last night.

The beast's torturous hands in between my legs. How he worked his hands gradually, into my vulva. Making me gasp in pleasure.

"Little Ava..."

His hands vigorously rubbing on my clit, taking about two hands in. After a while, they became sleek from the juices that flowed out. With a burning sensation, in between my legs.

"C-Caspian..." I had gasped out, holding his both arms, while I laid down. A growl rumbled from his chest, before taking my lips in his, claiming them as his.

He bit my lower lip, till they were swelling red, imprinting his marks and love bites on them. With a feeling of ecstasy, I moaned from his continuous swindles.

Unsure of the tidal waves that currently built in me. He dug in deeper, leaving me wanting more.

"I.Need.You.To.Take.Me."

I remembered, gritting out.

My head, overboard with desire written on my face. Though I wasn't aware of what he wanted to do, I knew this wasn't finished yet. That it was more of a starting point...

"Not yet, Ava...I'll do when you're emotionally prepared,"

He muttered, with some more love bites around my neck. King Caspian begun faster paces in between my legs. My heart thudded frantically, with my lips opening. It was almost as if I was in the extreme stage of cloud nine.

"W-Why? Isn't this a necessity f-for your baby, mi-lord?" I stammered, in an unsure tone.

Caspian's gaze suddenly darkened- his expression hardened, with his teeth clenching. I looked down, only to see a bulge of his hardened length, stretching down his pants.

"I need an heir, yes...but I do not want you to feel the same way as those girls," he seethed.

"This is not a damned game, Ava." he added. "This is real; so real."

My thoughts were shambled, thus by him saying those words, I couldn't focus on what they meant. My heart thudded faster as he rubbed me more. Flicking my clit, occasionally.

I could swear that almost drove me wild, especially when I saw him unzip his pants. With his cock springing out of them, hardened with veins popping out of them. I wondered what his intentions were, until he brought my hand down to them.

"That's right...feel me, mate."

"Feel what would soon be fucking the daylight out of you,"

He stated, with a guttural moan at my hands on them.

I cried out when he took my right nipple into his mouth, licking and fondling them. Intensely astonished that he pleasured the parts of me, this way.

"P-Please,"

I recalled gasping out, breathless, left with the feeling of need and wanting.

"Soon, little Ava...I promise,"

The Beast Caspian declared, in a throaty but gentle tone. He wanted me to be ready. King Caspian made it seem like I was precious to him, and wouldn't want to see me hurt.

And I couldn't understand it all...

I almost cried when I was sent back to my room, with his guard, Jaskier escorting me back. My head, dangerously fogged with the short-lived bliss I felt. I urged for a feeling to feel on edge-just like he made me feel.

His last words echoed in my head, while I slept for the night...

"Soon, little Ava... I promise,"

Swindling with my thoughts, leaving me in the unrealistic fantasy of what I expected him to do. Even if I wasn't too sure, I wanted him.

"A-Ava...wake up!"

I opened my eyes, only to see Emily. She was all dressed in our pawns clothing, with the rest of the girls moving around.

"Emily?"

I stated. She had just knocked me out of reality.

I wondered what was wrong, because she looked worried.

"Yeah me, quickly wear your clothes and wash your face. Lady Knight says everyone should be down in a few minutes to now!" she said.

I groaned, muttering an "okay", before standing up. My head held a slight migraine for staying up late at night. But I knew breakfast would take that all away.

Now the beast...

"Have this!" Emily said, throwing my clothes from last night, to me.

She walked closer, in hush whisper, after inspecting the clothes.

"You didn't do it, did you?" she asked.

My heart thudded frantically. I knew I could trust her, cause she wasn't like other girls.

"No, not yet,"

I stated, as I dressed up in the bathroom. She washed her face at the sink. I positioned myself, just beside her, washing my face too, and drying it off with a towel.

"It's okay, Ava. I understand,"

She said, with a mysterious expression. I didn't move to question her, knowing behind that look, lied her trauma of being raped and abused on.

Pressing it on, would only mean I was a bad friend.

"T-Thanks, Emily. Let's go,"

I told her. We walked outside afterwards.

...

"Today's lesson is all about self-defense, as you might need it,"

Knight Lydia muttered.

I noticed she wore an armor and her hair was braided up, in twists. While the other 25 girls from the last dance, were positioned at the training ground, including me.

Piper wasn't here.

She was sent to the maid section, as she didn't pass this level. But was qualified enough to serve in the castle, and not die.

"Each chess piece, starting from the Knight to the Rook, in this castle, has a certain number of soldiers assigned to them."

Lady Lydia continued.

"The order of hierarchy, determines the amount. However, the beast has the most and we're all under him." she explained.

"So will the Queen, when she is discovered,"

Knight Lydia, moved to and fro as she lectured us. Her assistant was right beside her, with a stern look on her face too, and two swords contained in her hands.

"As the castle's knight, I would be teaching you some moves, today"

She spelled out, looking around.

"Fighting," she stated "Isn't all about strength."

"It's about how wise you are, to calculate your opponent's next move."

By now, all thoughts of the beast had evacuated. Only with a motive to survive this round.

I couldn't fail...

"It's all about manipulating his best technique, using it against him," she firmly explained.

"Now take position girls,"

We all did as she said. She snapped her fingers, and suddenly, an elderly looking man who looked like he had Asian Chinese looks, entered the front door.

"This is Elder Zu. He is the swords master of this Kingdom. I had him make respective sword kinds for each of you,"

Lady Knight explained.

"This round, whoever tops the 25 of you, gets a fight with me. The winner claims the title of 'Lady Knight' of this castle,"

She surprisingly stated.

I heard murmurs from the girls. We all beheld a look of shock, at the unexpected turn of events. It was more like you could expect anything in this castle, as the day, went by.

"Silence!"

Lady Knight exclaimed.

Silence immediately overrode everywhere, once more. And no pin drop could be heard. Our eyes directed to Elder Zu, Lady Lydia and her assistant who were all standing in front of us.

She commenced listing the 25 girls' names, and who they should pair with. Seemed like her assistant, would be helping the odd number 1, out.

"Tabitha, with Gwen,"

It was almost like I could hear imaginary bells, the minute she mentioned Tabitha. I narrowed my eyes towards her, only to see the girl from my village.

All this while...she had been in our midst, how?

"Tania, pair with Satandra,"

Lady Lydia added. Tania was history but it seemed like she moved with Satandra these days. Which only meant they had similar goals- get rid of everyone here.

"Ava, with Emily,"

I immediately positioned myself, with the amount of blow that just hit me.

Tabitha?

I had a difficulty deciphering reality right now.

"I'll leave you all, to him,"
