When Primrose, an average everyday girl, walks home in the rain, she spots a kitten sitting in the middle of the road and a truck approaching at high speed.
And as a closet animal-lover, how could she not save it from the ever so devious and doomsda...
The next moment, I saw Etti holding his sword at the snake's neck.
Father and Onii-chan seemed shocked while Big Brother just sat there, assessing the situation. The Empress was frowning at Etti and Caroline. She then tried to demand something of the enraged giant.
"General Etti. Step down. This is the Empress' decree."
Etti frowned, spitting on the ground right next to her. "She hurt pack. Never forgive. Don't care for any decree." His words were simple and straightforward. They also caused the two women to pale.
My voice was clear as it rang throughout the garden.
"Step down Etti. I will not have your sword dirtied for that woman."
He hesitated before pulling his sword away from her neck and retreating to my side. The two pale-faced snakes urgently got up, speedily walking (to the point of running) away and out of the garden. They certainly wouldn't be coming back for a while.
I didn't miss their glare while they hurried away.
Soon, we lapsed into comfortable chatter. Retelling many stories, Father even inserted some problems at home which the Emperor, Etti, Lucian and I helped solve. An alliance was also formed between the two nations.
That's when my vision turned black.
~~*~~
When I awoke once again, it was not in the garden nor my own room. Instead, I was in a large chamber filled with luxury items.
My eyes scanned around and I noticed the tall, mountain-like figure staring out the huge windows. He suddenly turned on and I was almost startled.
The man was very handsome. More handsome than I had ever seen before.
Or maybe it was my eyes playing tricks on me.

^^^Him (the bishie king)
Damn, did that tight clothing make him look great!
But he didn't say anything, he just frowned. I analysed him and he analysed me.
That went on for a couple of minutes.
And the whole time, I was secretly fanning myself.
"You're the girl épée de glace has taken a liking too? How disappointing."
I frowned. His voice may be dreamy sounding but his attitude sucked balls. How rude, I am not a disappointment.
'You know Amaryllis, I like this guy. He kind of reminds me of that panther-boy, don't you think so?' Actually, now that Arty pointed it out, he did. He had the same eye colour, though, his ones seemed to glow more and their hair colour was the same but his and Eshai's personalities seemed to be complete opposites.
They both wore eye patches too.
Probably wanted to be pirates. Childhood dreams gone too far.
Ha, that's a funny thought.
This ice-cold man and Eshai travelling together throughout the seven seas, getting booty and winning the hearts of women all over through a roguish attitude. I couldn't help but let out a chuckle. His relaxed face turned back to an unhappy frown.
"What's so funny little one?"
Now it was my turn to get mad! How dare he call me little, I am a strong independent young woman who don't need no man! If anything is little, it would be his d—
Okay, I'll stop now.
"Don't call me little." His lips pulled up into a cocky smirk. "Or are you trying to compensate for something?" And back to a frown.
He basically snarled out the words.
"Don't call me little, I am far from it" His words were both proud and repulsive. Sigh, why must men be so overly sensitive about their parts. Girls don't go around comparing their private areas so why do men need to? What was so good about having a bigger ding-a-long?
It was stupid.
Men were stupid.
And yes, that is a fact, not an opinion.
I smirked back at him. "Awh, is little diddums upset? It's okay, you can simply go out to one of those brothels. I'm sure they won't care how big your ding-a-ling is if you pay them enough!" Hah, stupid man. I'll hit it where it hurts.
He snarled.
"At least I don't have breasts the size of mosquito bites." How rude! I am not old enough and technically, I do have bigger ones... In my Scorpio form.
Not that I'd show this stupid boy it.
"Well, at least I can get guys like this! All you can get are flies." SUCK IT. TAKE MY INSULTS, YOU PATHETIC MAN.
He scoffed. "Flies? Hor original. Shows how immature little no-breast girls like you are! Undeveloped and you have an inferiority complex about it! This is why people don't chase after you! I wouldn't if it wasn't for that thing!"
"Did I ask for your scrawny behind to kidnap me?! NO! So don't even think of talking back you stupid bumhole! I don't care about your goddamn opinion about my boobs! They are not mosquito bites, okay?! And I do not have an inferiority complex about my body like you about your ding-a-ling!"
I was about to slap him but instead, I poked my tongue out and made a face. If he wants to be like this, I will be too!
His golden eye glared harshly at me. I swear I could feel a fire in that gaze! The room suddenly became like a blazing inferno as he stormed over.
Out of all the things he could have done, he grabbed my tongue!
"When my brother said it liked you, I was surprised. After all, it has never liked many people. My expectations seem to have been much too high for a person like you. How disappointing."
I glared at him.
He glared back.
Wait?
Brother?
What brother?
I don't know any brother of his...
Is there something I'm missing out on here?
All of a sudden, a voice echoed inside the room.
"Hello my little kitty, have you missed me?"
~~*~~
Haha, that was fun.
Sorry for a late update, had an assessment to do/finish. It's due tomorrow. ;))
in case you were wondering, épée de glace literally translates to "sword of ice."
Thanks to all those who checked out mai other story and to Natavie who read this book when I specifically told you not to, suck it :)
