Chapter 9: Crucial moment
"Fine. We will talk" General Lucas asked. Andrey looked at the guards and General Lucas was quick to know that he didn't want them around. "Leave us" he commanded. The guards took a bow and left
"Speak. I have time and I don't plan on spending it chit-chatting"
"I'd like to say a few things to you. If you don't mind, we'll speak as humans and not as unequals" Andrey said while looking for approval to continue from the stone in front of him
"Go on" the man finally spoke
"But first, we have to sit. My neck is starting to sore looking up at you" Andrey went ahead to sit on the bench. General Lucas complied and sat with him a few inches apart
Andrey stood up in front of him. "I can't help but feel like I'm being taken advantage of. You promised you'd set my friend free and my body in exchange. Since it was the princess who took him away and not me, I don't have to serve you anymore because I have my fundamental human rights" Andrey was afraid but he spoke with confidence despite the frightening look on the General's face
"Also, I'm free to leave now because you didn't release my friend to me. I'm not a slave so, you can't keep me for yourself"
"I have all rights to confiscate you. You will continue to live with me until I tell you to leave" General Lucas said with an intimidating tone
"You have no right to keep me here disregarding my freedom" Andrey stomped his feet on the ground
"The emperor is a dear friend. To him, I'm his best friend. He loves his people more than himself but till this day the people don't acknowledge him as their king or give him the respect he deserves. If he was to hear that a spy came into his land, how do you think he'll take that. He'll use you as a means to gain the respect of his people"
"General Lucas, are you calling me a spy?" Andrey gaped at him "That is rather rude"
"You came here in a ship never seen before, a foreign ship. You came in foreign clothes, you spoke to me in foreign tongue"
"It's English, just more advanced" Andrey pointed out. 'Good thing I took Latin classes with Derrick'
"England are not on good terms with us. You have no right to speak of them" General Lucas said
"Stop speaking about rights when you deprive me of mine"
"You will stay" he commanded
"Alright then. But you will not touch me without my permission because that would be considered an act of rape. You have no exception to this law" Andrey said confidently
"I could just legalize it"
"That won't be a very smart move if you ask me. If you legalize rape, you will lose the respect of your people. You will be seen as the man who caused their daughters to lose their dignity. No man would want to many such a woman" 'And no woman would rape a man in this age. You lost Lucas'
"Alright then. I'll make you beg for me" The General stood in front of him
Andrey gulped hard but his deep husky voice didn't make him fold. If he got too h*rny, he could just make out with someone else. How hard could it be. "Shall we? Or are you changing your mind of letting me stay?"
"I am a man of my words" General Lucas said and left him behind. Andrey smiled and followed him.
.....
The prince had taken Derrick to a very secret place in the palace. He was almost at his most furious but he knew that if he said the wrong things to Derrick, the guy might change his mind and leave him
"Derrick we talked about this. Are you trying to kill me or something? If something happened to you what should I do then? The palace is a very dangerous, Derrick, you can't just go about the place as you wish" The prince said in a very serious tone
"Apple?" Derrick offered as he took one for himself
"No, I don't want that! Do you think this is a joke or something?"
"If you don't want the apple you must want something else, am I right? Or should I say, someone?" Derrick shifted his clothing and showed his exposed neck and bit his lip
The prince gulped at the sight of this "This is not the time for this"
"You know what your problem is, you're always being too serious" Derrick sat him down and sat on him with his legs between his thighs and moved closer to the prince in a hugging position "Loosen up. Life isn't that hard if you look at it from my perspective. You are very handsome" Derrick whispered into his ear. "Let's take this off" Derrick said as he began to take off the prince's clothes piece by piece
"Derrick, we shouldn't be doing this in here" The prince stopped his hands
"What are we doing?" he seized his hands and pushed him unto the grass. He ran them across his chest and moved himself a little downward "We're not doing anything, are we, handsome prince" Derrick licked his nipples gently with the tip of his tongue
The prince left out a soft moan "No no no. We're not doing anything"
"Right" Derrick said 'You'll suffer by my hands today I promise you' he thought to him self as he reached his hands into his pants touching his now standing d**k. The prince let his head rest as he left out a moan
" We should truly not do this here as you said. I also just remembered I had something to do. See ya later, alligator". Derrick stopped himself from going further because he might get turned on too. He ran away immediately
"What? At this crucial moment? What a wicked soul!" The prince shouted because Derrick was already gone
The prince stood up, fixed himself and went after him. He was starting to close in on him
"Guards, after him" The prince let his guards go first and capture him
"Don't be a coward and come catch me yourself" Derrick said shouting 'I won a race against a Kenyan once, I'm very confident you won't catch me'
"You don't know what you're playing with, Derrick" The prince said shouting and an evil smirk on his face
Derrick laughed vigorously "If anything, I do know what I'm playing with"
The prince laughed as well as he increased his speed to max. He caught Derrick in a few seconds.
"That's impossible. I won against a Kenyan, you couldn't stand a chance. You cheated"
"I've gotten that a lot in my life. Now let's finish what we started" The prince leaned in
"No" Derrick stopped him "I'm fasting and you know more than anyone that you can't do this kind of thing in the period of fasting"
"You were eating apples a second ago and you ate a lot of food this morning too. Does that count as fasting?"
"This is a Periodic table fasting, which mine have started already. It is a very important fast for the people in my hometown"
"Alright then, since it's religion, I won't stop you from your fast. Why don't you talk to me about the kind of life people live in advanced Rome" the prince sat on the ground with Derrick
"What's advanced Rome?"
"Where you came from? General Lucas said that's where you all came from"
"Oh yes, my motherland"
