บท 11: Queen Esther Vasilisa
Location:Austria,Kingdom Of Khoullabet
Area:The Queens Throne room
For the second time in his existence, Sage perceived himself as a captive, the seizing of the binds bruising his inflamed skin. It was all surreal as Daniella hauled him up arduous steps by his upper bicep.All he could summon in head in his weak attempt of stability was faint flashes of Domino.
Why were the Ghouls targeting him? He wanted to ask Daniella but her influence on his caged mind kept his mouth sealed. His wrinkled shirt tugged at his battered cuts Daniella inflicted upon him. The medicinal cure his body produced dispersed over the surface of his form as it weaved itself firmly as a seamstress replacing shredded cloth, the gashes of meat restoring. He could sense it within the presence of his internal membrane connecting the fibers. The leisure he drew from it relieved the tension from his heavy tread towards the foreign destination Daniella lugged him to. Tiny crystals of granite fumbled under his foot as he proceeded.
When they reached the front of the chamber, Sage felt a cool wind nip at the jeans he had put on the morning of Daniella's performance, the same morning she revealed her true colors. His ears intensified on the people that parted ahead of them, making way for the captive and escort.
"They have taken in another individual into the city, this is the first for a few months."
"What fascinates the Queen with the extent of mundanes she has chosen to shelter in?"
Sage heard hushed murmurs come from the side of him as they created a clear path for them. Daniella stood odd by his peripheral before applying three knocks on a gate. The soft taps echoing.
The gate squealed like a chair scraping against a tiled floor. The rattling sound of the gate sounded as if it was going to overwhelm the door.
"State your business with the Queen Of Khoullabet or die by the sword of Vasilisa." a razor edged voice said. He could hear the ingot of a sword being yanked out of its sheath.
"The Queen Has requested this," He felt a vigorous jab on his left shoulder-blade." Mundane of healing" she bowed as her head withdrew and lifted.
Agonizing seconds passed by before he was thrown to the ground by guards his head thumped on the asphalt. The men rummaged through his pockets as rough fingers combined through his locks of greasy hair.He felt his shoes shoved off his feet and replaced by another material.A firm take on his neck pressed against his pressure point as Daniella and the guard conversed.
"I assure you that was useless. I had previously removed anything considered dangerous to the Kingdom ."
"By Queen's direct order. If you wish to enter the palace, you have to be checked thoroughly for weapons."
"I Know her rules, you don't have to repeat them to me, what you did was uncalled for."
"Mrs. Larson Do you wish to enter the Palace or to be headed on your previous line of course."
Cloaked fingers snapped as they hauled him into a standing pose.His lip raised as his nose wrinkled in pain.His boot caught on a hitch in the ground as the guards shoved him towards Daniella.
They passed the threshold of the palace and continued on their trek to the Queen. A harmony of captivating music flooded through the halls of the palace like the opening of a fairy tale. Sunlight filtered through his blindfolds, the heat a warm welcome from the cold air. They were ushered into a wide room where Daniella commanded him to sit after her presence left him
"Please, withdraw the blindfolds of the captives." A voice like melting honey demanded the escorts of the hostages.
Captives? that was plural it meant he was not the only one in this muddle. His blindfold fell to his lap as it was withdrawn.He tilted his head to the back of the room where Daniella and him had just arrived in from.
Tall marigold doors reached high to the roof, light ricocheted off the Marble door to the gold slate of steps underneath, a crystal chandelier dangled from the arched ceiling of the room, ruby jewels gave style to the exterior layer as a vivid sapphire blazed inside.It was the most magnificent room he had ever planted his eyes on.How come the office of the Agency never informed them about this fantasized realm of the ghouls.Mahogany carpet graced his knees with its tenderness.A Gold and Scarlet birds twisted into a shrub of glowing sparks.
What captured his eye the most was a sculpture. It was a man with spiked hair in the front and long hair that double crossed his skinny frame, his hair had petals of roses tangled in it, his face molded into a pleasant smile his jaw drew up to reveal a pendant engraved in his neck.A hawk perched on his fist like a fragment of a picture of nature.
"Sage?!" A recognizable voice called to him.
His arms tensed as he struggled to free himself.That voice, it was a blend of compassion and confusion. He scrubbed his palms together, but to no avail was he capable to get one free hand out. All he needed was one. One so that he could reach her so she could feel that he was here with her physicality.
"Sage!" She yelled again in the distance aside from him. Her octaves gruff from the attempt.
No, no, his head shook absently. What did they demand with her? He needed to inform her he couldn't speak Daniella forbid him to. At once he craned his neck to see her. A veil of frizzy hair had replaced her signature braid, the black strands touching her painted sleeve cuffs as she sat with her legs bent behind her knees, Her narrow lips blew into a fierce grimace. Just like Miyasaki to glower in a situation like this.Her Skin seemed darker than usual. Has she been with him this whole time he thought to himself?
A sheer slim fit gown replaced Saki's usual garb. So sheer it had specks of pink heating Sage's face as he gave her a speedy once over, Her firm abs covered by a bodice that teased pink Jewels down her flat stomach.The gown ceased in an oval dip, The mesh of her long sleeves ran down to a train that was bundled up behind her. The rear of the gown displayed her back muscles.The heel of her sandals tucked under her tush. Her neckline had the mound of her breast pushing to exhale.Sage knew she loathed it and out of politefulness of her he wanted to too but seeing her in a dress instead of her trousers and tank top had him hard in places he dared to admit.
Saki saw him gawking at her.The sinews in her arm stretched before she registered she was even in binds similar to his. Instead of cloth, Saki was restrained in bulky chains. she must have given a fight to get that gown on. She sank her chin lower and signaled him to look in the room's front instead of her.
He sought the front of the room where a woman stood with an inhumane height.The bud of her head bordering the roof of the arched ceiling, She had to be at least eight feet tall, Her dark hands shimmered in the translucent light that shone from the three bay windows. Her silver curls styled in straight backs, Topaz stones tucked in each strand.The structure of her bones in her face carved into delicate creases on her skin.Her mouth too wide to fit in place.Her silver crown settled upon her head.White and black circled together in her orbs.The contour of her face conveyed to him she was the ruler the kingdom was mumbling about.
She was a bewitching sight." I am who they say I am and all you know." She hunched her head as her arms crossed under her breast in an exquisite manner. Her voice succulent to their ears.
Saki snorted as she tried to push up to a kneeling position.Her black brows lowered in irritability as she spat on the floor, the drop of saliva a humiliation to the queen.Her lip curled at her next words. "Why the hell are we here? What's with all the shackles, your fucking majesty." she taunted the finished words sarcastically.
Sage watched in dismay as Saki made her stand.His mouth opened with reluctance but no words sounded out, Saki his ferocious and bad ass Saki. What the heck was she thinking talking to the queen of ghouls like that.
The queen raised her chest, placed one netted hand atop another she gave Saki a gentle smile as her orbs fused with annoyance." Miyasaki, the champion the Agency has had in chains for all your adolescence years, rumors spread like a wildfire throughout the kingdom of your capabilities, the never beast that flourished in the arctic that had torn your pears apart, piece by piece took you only twenty minutes to slay with a broken arrow chains fit you quite well if i do say so myself."
Sage had heard the list of endless missions Saki had triumphed in but twenty minutes to kill a never beast? was unimaginable just one of those things could crush an entire city. His irises filtered around the room to find Daniella in a pew. Her orbs fixed on Saki and the queen.He had to find some sort of way to get her attention so that she could undo her petty spell she had placed on him.
Saki head cocked to the side as four lines wrinkled her forehead," You have been keeping tabs on me, what twisted game are you playing here." from the assertive tone that was hidden behind her words Sage knew she was ready to fight.
"My name is Esther, queen of Khoullabet, and daughter of Ethaniel.I have requested both of you to assist me in the kingdom. The choice to stay and help is yours.The kingdom is in great need of your assistance.
