Chapter 3

"Please stop!" Damin kept saying, but I kept going. I was going to enjoy this till my heart's content.


"What do you want from us?!" Amelia said while crying. 


I was only using Damin as an example in front of all of them. They were all huddled in a corner. Ford couldn't even do anything he was to scared. He was even the first one to wet his pants. I just laughed at that.


I stopped for a bit.


"I want you to let me out of here, even though I can probably get out of here myself by killing one of you, and I want to live in the castle given every right I want to do whatever. After a week I want you to recommend me to your king and make me into the general of your royal army." I said looking at Damin.


"We can't do that. The current general will need to die first before a replacement can come in," Ford said while stuttering.


"Then that will just have to happen wouldn't it?" I replied with a grin


"However I want it to be kept low that I'm the forgotten princess of Queen Bethany. You guys can do that right?" I said still grinning.


When none of them responded I held the whip high again ready to strike their elder brother.


"JUST DO WHAT SHE BLOODY SAYS!" Damin screamed.


"Deal?" I looked at all of them. They nodded their head. 


Before I walked out with them I kindly asked Amalia to give me her cloak and told Kailan (youngest daughter) to act as if I was her friend who would be staying for a while. She nodded quickly without hesitation.


The servants were looking at us with curious eyes while we were walking down the corridors, but went back to work when Damin threatened to fire them, they couldn't see the fear in his eyes as I was holding the wood knife against his back.


"This will be your room" Amelia said trying to put a smile on. 


I looked around. It was too big for my liking. An advantage to get attacked. 


"Will there be anything else you'll need er..." 


"No, however my name shall not be said at all times. I will be called Mary for the time being and if something were to lead to me I will kill you or someone without hesitation and that's a promise."


They nodded, "go" They closed the door and left. I went into the bathroom and looked at myself.


"Man do I stink and look hideous" I said to myself


I threw Amelia's cloak on the ground and took off the baggy rags that I was wearing. I turned on the water and waited for it to fill the bath while doing that I was also trying to detangle my hair but I found it better to just cut if off to shoulder length. 


I sat in the bath for a couple of minutes scrubbing every inch of my body. I could now see the scars that were all over.


I grabbed a towel and got out looking satisfied at myself in the mirror. I opened a door that was exactly the size room I wanted but turned out to be a walk in closet. I didn't remember seeing any room this big with a big walk in closest during my time. 


I went through everything and only saw dresses. What I needed was pants and a shirt. When I opened the drawers I saw tunics and leggings. 


I was dressed in a dark greenish tunic with a black belt. I slipped on a pair of black leggings and combat boots that I found in the back of the closet. 


I grabbed my wood knife when I heard someone knock on my door. 


I opened it a bit and looked at the maid standing there. 


"My name is Carol and I'll be your personal maid. Lady Kailan asked to bring you this meal." 


I let her in knowing who she was. She was here to spy on me and report back to the siblings if anything were to go wrong or if they wanted me dead.


However to Violet she was the the main maid who spread the rumors about her being contagious. I'll just keep her at my side for now and see what the four fools want from me. 


I grabbed the food from her and set it on the bed. It was probably poisoned but I had my share share of poison in my past life so you could say I was immune to it.


Carol watched me gulp down every food and drink. I could hear her gulp down as I handed her the tray.


I sent her out with a warning "please tell the four idiots that if they want me dead they'll have to do better than that. And for you I don't want inside my room just leave my food outside the door."


Carol walked away hurriedly.


I needed to explore this place before planning anything. I have already memorized my way to my room.


I got stares everywhere I went. When I asked directions to where the four idiots were the maids led me there without asking questions. Apparently the four idiots did their job making sure everybody knew I was a friend.


I stood outside of two big doors, the maid was about to knock but I just opened the door. 


"Whoever you are. You must have a death wish coming in without my permission" Damin said back facing me, making out with a maid.


I closed the door behind me and sat down on his fancy couch, legs crossed picking at my nails. 


When he finally noticed me his eyes grew wide and shoved the maid aside and started buttoning his shirt. 


"What can I do for you Lady V-" I sent him a glare. He seemed to have trouble gulping down on air. 


"Lady Mary?" he said correcting himself. I shifted my head towards the maid who was still getting her clothes together.


"You hurry up and leave" good thing one of the idiots had common sense.


 After the flushed face maid left I looked at the seat across from me. Damin knowing not to make the wrong moves sat across from me.


"In case you haven't noticed I'm still superior. I don't do what you sa-" he stopped talking when I threw the wood knife between his legs.


"I don't think you'll want that gone now. Do you?" he gulped down and nodded his head still staring at the knife between his legs.


"You're probably not happy to see me alive even after all that trouble you went through trying to poison me" I gave him a wicked one sided smile.


He was too scared to say anything so I went straight to business.


"I want you and your younger brother to accompany me this afternoon to the market"


"Why would we do that?" he dare to ask.


"I need some things" I gave him a simple answer.


"And I wouldn't refuse if I were you. Or else someone will die tonight" 


He didn't answer back so I took that as a yes. I walked towards him feeling the fear coming off of him. I took my knife back and walked out. 


I was waiting in my room when a knock came.


"Miss, Lord Damin and Lord Ford are waiting for you at the entrance" Carol's voice came from behind the door.


I got up and slipped on my combat boots and started walking outside where Damin and Ford were both on horses.


"Where is my horse?" They both looked at each other.


Then Ford cleared his throat "we thought maybe you wo-" his voice got quieter and quieter.


"Take me to the stables" They both got down and showed me to the stables.


"Why that was quick Lords" the stable man said bowing to Damin and Ford.


I checked out every stable for a strong horse. I stopped at this stallion who had a gray base but its hairs and legs were black.


"I wouldn't pick that horse if I were you" the stable man said behind me. I could see Damin and Ford tensing.


"That horse is a gift from the Fae kingdom, but nobody has every gotten the guts to ride him. He's been here for two years already."


So this one was special then. I reached my hand out, but all it gave me was an angry sound which didn't sound like any regular horse.


My blood was starting to get excited. I kept my hand hanging in the air. I looked into its eyes and started talking to him.


"You shall be called Sebastian. I am now your master. You shall obey everything I say" I looked at him and gave him an evil smile. 


He looked at me in the eyes then came close to my outstretched hand. I opened his stable. Damin, Ford, and the stable man looked at me with disbelief.


"You. Put the harness on him" I commanded the stable man. He nodded and fitted the mouth piece on Sebastian. He was about to put the seat on his back but I stopped him. 


"You sure you don't need it" the stable man asked. I ignored him and walked out of the stables with Damin and Ford following me.


"We'll lead the way" Damin said. 


Once we got to the market some guards took our horses. While Damin and Ford were putting on their cloaks to cover themselves.


"Would you like us to show you around?" Ford asked still a bit scared of me.


"Take me to the swords master"


They looked at each other then showed me the way. 


"Ah welcome young masters how may I assist you today?" The swords master stopped what he was doing and showed the idiots the new arrivals.


During this era they probably didn't have any guns yet so I'll have to choose my sword carefully.


I felt a strong aura coming form one of the swords. I looked at the wall of swords then saw a shiny black one on the top of the wall.


"Ah I see that one has caught your eye hasn't it miss." The master came from behind me


"I want that one" I said without hesitating.


"What's so good about that one?" Ford asked. Fool doesn't know a treasure when he sees it.


"This one young lord was dumped at the back of my store and I could see it had killed millions" the old master explained to both idiots.


"How much?" I asked still looking at the sword.


"Well ever since I picked it up I have been having a couple of misfortunes. So I'll say it's not that much about 10 golds I'll even give you a free belt" he said rubbing his hands together.


I looked at Damin and he knew right away not to reason with me. This was partly why I needed them to come, because they had the money.


As I was holding the sword I didn't feel anything, but I could tell something was sleeping deep inside of it. I strapped it onto my belt and walked out.


Damin and Ford stayed behind me as we walked passing many stands. 


Then I stopped at a stand that displayed different colored bottles. 


"Welcome young miss I haven't seen you around before. Is there anything that catches your eye?" The owner said looking at me.


"May I smell them?" I asked looking at her straight in the eye. 


"You may, but I'd be careful some of these potions are not friendly" she gave me a yellow teeth smile.


I grabbed a blue bottle knowing that Ford or Damin won't stop me, because they wanted me dead. 


I smelt it and knew right away what it was but it wasn't what I was looking for. I grabbed a couple more and still didn't find what I was looking for.


Until I reached out for a yellowish orange color one. I sensed the idiots smiling behind me and I saw a smile creeping from the old lady. I knew this was the right one but I wanted to smell it just in case and to piss off the idiots watching behind me.


I smelt it then closed it and handed it to the lady "I want this one" she looked at me with shock, but I held my hand out to Damin and he gave me his pack of money. 


"You sure about this young miss? It's the most poisonous thing out there" the lady told me.


"That's why I want it" I handed her the money and continued walking.


I stopped again at a powder stand and asked the owner if he had anything that could change hair color. He handed me the color I wanted and said to mix it with water.


We went back to the stables. I saw that Sebastian wasn't in a stable.


"Sorry miss he wouldn't let anybody go near him" one of the guards said to me.


"Sebastian don't cause trouble for others" I stroked his head. Damin and Ford were getting their horses while I got on mine. 


When we got back and were about to put our horses back into their stables a maid was running towards us. It was the same maid that Damin was making out with in his room.


"My Lord news have come from the Fae kingdom!" she said catching her breath.


"What is it Dorthy?"


"The Fae king will be here next week with the other Fae courts" the color on their faces drained.


Hmm the Fae king will be here. I wonder if something interesting will happen.
