I woke up somewhere strangely familiar to me. It was a room of pure stone with bars across from me, my hands where chained my dress muddy. I could see from this cell out of a window, and I looked out to the kingdom I knew and loved.
Houses burnt to ash.
Men slaughtered in the streets.
Women raped in hay bails beside the road.
Soilders bodies picked clean for every penny, every blade, everything they had.
Children being kicked away like beggars.
Buildings brought to there knees.
Fires rages.
Screams could be heard from all corners.
An army roamed my streets doing as they pleased.
I cried, I wept like a child.
My home, the place had looked out to since I was a child being destroyed. My people slaughtered. My kingdom turned to ash. Everything my ancestors had build and everything I was meant to protect.
I wanted to be dead atleast then it wasn't my fault.
I was fearful, as to why I had been left alive why wasn't I butchered like arthur, like the people in the city. I had been kept alive for some reason and I wasn't sure I wanted to know the reason.I waited for a long time before I heard someone coming and a man stood there burly with a large axe at his back he unlocked the cell and pulled me up forcing me to walk up from the dungeons to the throne room.
It was full of men from the south all stood with various papers and weapons he lead me though the room I felt like a pig being lead thought a bbq to the grill until I stood before the throne in chains
"Good morning princess" he smirked
"I am the queen"
"You where. Incase you hadn't noticed. The throne has some new owners" he explained "and as I have already got a very beautiful queen. I have no use for you" he explained "but. I have still a use for you" he smirked "come and stand here with me princess." He smirked I felt revolted but I went anyway being held in my chains beside the throne as men came to speak
"My king. I have fought well and lost many men" he said as he stepped forward
"You have my lord ashworth. You are of course to receive the spoils of war." He smirked down at him "take the eastern front that shall be yours now and I trust you to hold Dominion over it" he explained
I went to protest but the man who had brought me here from the dungeon stuck tape over my mouth
He nodded and left and soon enough another man approached
"My king. I have fought well and lost many men" he said
"You did lord peterson. You shall receive the spoils of war. The castle at the mountains it is yours"
"Thank you my king" he nods leaving
"My king. I have fought well and lost many men, we held the waters though it all"
"You and your men severed us well my lord ford six ships lay docked on the harbor they are yours take these as your spoils"
"And of tamlen bay? You promised it to me?"
"... You may also take tamlen bay under the understanding that you will hold it and that your son's take the mantle of tamlen bay when they are of age. I see you ship boys have abandoned it I'll cut you out and hand it to many of the other men who severed me so well"
I wanted to cry watching as my kingdom was divided up given away to those lords and commanders on his army to do with as they wished slowly but surely watching my kingdom be chipped away to these people from the south.
Until as one man was finishing up the doors to the room opened
