บท 53: Schemes
I quietly stared at the ceiling as I listened to Nicklos snoring softly next to me. It was comforting to have him near, even if I couldn't sleep. The pressure from his arm wrapped around my waist kept me grounded as I kept pondering over the details that Tucks had given us earlier. Laylia was my sister, and she is working with the Counsel to overthrow my dad. Not even just my dad, they where planning on getting rid of me and Illia as well. If they recognize Laylia as the Illigitimate daughter of my father, that would give her rights to the throne. But she can't ascend to the throne unless the first born of legitamacy is dead. So naturally I would become the target, and then Illia.
If I don't return back to the Kingdom soon, the Counsel will forfeit my rights to the throne, and make Illia the new successor. As per Counsel's request. It's obviously there scheme to get me to come back so they can deal with my properly, but my father doesn't see the that. He just sees me disobeying him and undermining his commands. What he doesn't realize, is that if I go back without Maxwell, our alliances or practically peace itself, will go out the window. We will be launched into a huge war.
What I don't understand exactly, is that if Laylia wants the throne, why poison all the people? She would just cause a huge war amongst everyone. Unless of course she plans on using Maxwell as the saving grace. She could easily stroll in, act as the virtous and gracefull hero, and then turn around and murder us once she gets on father's good side. Anyone that makes him look good, is of course his favorite. That's why he cherished Illia like he did for so long. She was the means for a political gain, that was basically it.
The only way to make all of this fall through, was to make sure that they became exposed. If we show the people that they are working together to basically over throw a Kingdom, people would go mad. It would be the Counsel, against several Kingdoms and that wouldn't go down well. They wouldn't even have a chance to step down because they would already be breaking several laws. Not to mention their morality would go down with working with a crime lord.
Once this whole things gets out, father would have to step down after everyone finds out he has an illigitimate child, and Laylia would be beheaded because of her crimes accumlated over the years. There is no way the people in my Kingdom would want the Vixen to rule over them. Even if I had perished they would revolt and they would be left rulerless. More than likely it would start another war, but this time inside the city, as they tried to find a new ruler. If Laylia wants chaos, then she sure would be doing a good job.
"You have a crease between your eyebrows. What has you so deep in thought that you can't sleep?" Nicklos asked groggily as he propped himself up on his elbow. With his free hand he grabbed me around the waist and pulled me close to him, leaving no room in between us.
"Planning, plotting, what ever you want to call it." I mumbled as I placed my head against his bare chest. I was enjoying the heat that radiated off him in waves. For some reason it made me feel at ease despite my growing anxiety.
"More like scheming. I saw your face earlier, you aren't just planning." His fingers tugged gently through the strands of my hair that fell loosely against the pillows. It was calming and I could feel myself start to get slightly tired under his caring caresses.
"Well, I know we need to find Laylia location and find Maxwell. I have a feeling she isn't just using him as a alchemist. She might use him as her hail mary to get on my father's good side. I don't think she is aiming for the throne. I do believe she wants to cause as much chaos as she can. The Counsel has no idea that she is scheming against them too. My father's plead to have me back before they revoke my crown, is a set up too. Obviously they want all the same birds under one roof, it would be easy to dispose of us that way. I have to expose her plan before they get any further. If the other Kingdoms found out that the Counsel is planning to get rid of a royal blood line they would be furious." Nicklos chuckled, nodding his head in agreement.
"That would deffinetly lead a war against the Kingdoms and the Counsel people. I also know of Laylia's hideout. I know a guy in town that owes me a favor. If I can't get information from him, I'll just send him in to scope it out," He chuckled to himself. I felt like I had missed a joke. "But that wasn't the scheming I was talking about. You looked like you where going to murder someone down stairs earlier, and I don't think it was directed all at Laylia." How persecptive of my future husband. I really couldn't get anything past him.
"I want to expose my dad of this illigitimate father and make him step down for good. If not I am goint to fight him for the crown. He has no need to be on the throne with all the evil deeds he has done. I want my generation to be peaceful and dependable. Alliances need to be based off of equal grounds, not fear." I mumbled against his chest. His hand stopped stroking my hair, pausing on the small of my back.
After a few moments had passed and he still remained silent, I pulled back from him, gauging his reaction. His eyes where glazed over in farway state. Confused by his reaction, I lightly traced my finger across his bare chest, hoping for a reaction. But if he had felt it, he said and did nothing. He remained frozed, lost in thought as he contined to stare straight ahead. A devilish idea came to mind and I decided to continue my lazy patterns while staring at him.
I would take this chance to admire him. He didn't give me much of a chance the night prior. I mostly like the way his skin felt soft and warm under my touch. He felt like a freshly baked biscut, but only firm and tender with muscle. I nuzzled my head against his chest, wondering how far I could go before I got a response from him. So I left my fingers drag down further. I made sure my pace was slow as I started my slow trace of each of his abs.
Like he had been zapped, he came back to life. Nicklos flipped me over on to my back, and expertly pinned both my wrists above my head with just one hand. His grip was firm, but not tight enough to cause me distress. Without breaking his pace, he pushed aside one of my legs, and let his rest between both of mine. In just a matter of seconds, I had been completely pinned down to the mattress underneat his body. The heat pooled between my legs, awaken my sleepened arousaled state.
"You, do you understand what you are doing? You are traveling in a very dangerous area." Nicklos growled, his golden eyes staring down at me. He wasn't angry though, no, his eyes reflected something I had only ever seen once before. They where hungry. I felt myself suck in a breath as his lips drew closer to mine, making my heart beat faster than a galloping horse. I was more than postive I was a few shades of red as the beast pinned me underneath him.
"W-what danger?" I barely spit out. I was starting to become distracted with the gap between our lips. Wanting him desperately to smash them against mine like he had last night and make me lose my head. But he had other ideas. A wicked grin crested his lips, and he slowly moved them from the edge of mine, and down towards the hollow part of my neck. I flinched and squirmed underneath him. Feeling both pleasure and discomfort by the teasing way he brushed his lips against my sensative skin.
"You are telling me, you don't know what you just did? Are you really innocent, or are you just playing with me?" He asked as his free hand slowly traced my sides. I felt the static waves flow through my body, making my body burn hotter and become more sensative under his touch. My mind could no longer make sense of anything. I could only repeat in my head, how much I wanted him. Offering him no reply, he chuckled sinsiterly into my ear, earning him a soft whimper as my skin started to form goose bumps.
"Tell me Alliah, do you want me to eat you?" His whispers caressed my ear and I whimpered once again, so lost in his soft touches that I couldn't form words. I felt his hand travel over my abdomen, and down to the hem of my short silk dress that I had put on after bathing. It was already scruntched up over my legs, giving him perfect access to my panties. His fingers traced the skin around the hem, making me suck in a sharp breath. I ached my back underneath him, feeling the wetness pool between my legs, begging him to touch my sensative areas.
"How does it feel, what you where doing to me? Do you know how crazy it drives me when you do that? You are practically begging me seduce you. Now let me grant you your wish, my lady." His words ended into a deep growl as he plunged his tongue into my mouth, swishing it around so fast that my brain became absolutely muddled. Any coherent thoughts I had before, quickly left my mind as he continued to tease me. This man knew exactly what to do to drive me absolutely mad.
