The definition of a Princess

23

"God.. this is just too easy.."

...

Kane sat on the bed with a smirk as you stood dripping wet. It was very cold in the room but your anger kept you warm as you looked into his conniving eyes.
The memory of him slapping you this morning crossed your mind and you scoffed.

"Don't scoff at me, I just fished you from getting beat in that dungeon!" Kane stood up with his arms open with annoyance.
"I don't need your help!! Why'd you take the bullets out that gun?!"
He chuckled, "Hey don't blame me~"

You began grabbing dry clothes out your dresser as he watched you.
Your head was pounding.
You tried your best and failed.
What more could you do? No one would listen and even if you told the kingdom, you would be blamed as well. Kane suddenly placed his hand on your shoulder and you immediately smacked it.

"Don't put your filthy hands on me!!" you yelled and he was taken back.
"You talk to me like we aren't to be married tomorrow! Aren't you scared?!"
"I have no reason to be scared of you.."

Kane suddenly grabbed you by the neck and pressed you against the now closed dresser.
He didn't tighten his grasp but his grip was firm. Your back hit the hard dresser with a yelp of pain as he held you still.

"Let go!!" you demanded and he just frowned.
"Why can't you be an obedient Princess?! Why must you be such a bitch! Even when we were younger, you've always been like this!! Treating me like trash.." he whispered in your ear, "Soon it will be my turn to show you your rightful place beneath me.."
"What do you want from me??" you asked with a plea and his eyebrows raised, "We were kids! I had to leave because of my duties and I don't expect you to understand!! I didn't kill your father and I never treated you in a manner I wasn't raised!!"
"Princess wait.."
"Do you want to see me cry? I'm no snobby bitch for all I try is to help my Kingdom but I'm trapped in one place!!" You despised the tears building, "So what do you want Sirus Kane?! You want to kill me? You want to make me suffer more than I have? Just do what you want to me!!"

Kane slowly let go of your neck before sighing and putting his forehead against yours.

"Fuck.." he mumbled conflicted.

???

You backed away and he grabbed your wrist gently. He sighed again as he looked at you with his brown contacts gleaming. Why must his face always look conflicted when you stare at him?
You didn't understand why his eyebrows were always furrowed.

"Just.." he started with his deep voice sounding solemn, "Just stop being the way you are.."
"What do you..?"

Before you could finish the sentence, he bent down on one knee.

"Fuck.. what am I doing.." he mumbled to himself and took your hand. Your eyes widened as he kissed it and looked up. "Princess.. stop crying.."
You backed away without reply and he stood up quickly as he held your hand. "I'm sorry.."
"You're sorry?!" you yelled disgusted as tears of anger ran, "You put me through hell and now you apologize??"

Suddenly he kissed your lips and you pushed him away repulsed. Your emotions felt as though they were on fire.

"You set me up with that gun and threaten my life and you apologize?? You slap me across my face and try to kiss me?? Are you mad?!" you yelled and he didn't reply as he bit his lip with shame, "You force me into an arranged marriage and you think because you stopped me from getting beat in that dungeon, I'll fall into your arms?!"
"That's not what I think!!"
"Then what?!" you yelled as his expression remained regretful.

You were getting sick of it all. Sick of Kane, Lenon, the King, Yumin, and the Monarchy!!
You couldn't even stand the wet clothes stuck to your body!!

You began to strip of the wet clothing.
They hit the ground with a splat. Kanes face reddened but you paid no attention as you put on your warm clothes.

"Princess.. please listen.."
You turned around as you pointed your finger at the delusional male. "No you listen Kane!! I hate you!"

His expression dropped.

"I hate you as a person!! I hate everything about you and your selfishness!! You obviously have internal conflict with yourself!! You don't know whether you loathe or love me.." you began to laugh, "Well I'll answer, I hate you and we will not be getting married!!"

His eyes widened with confusion.
Anger rose in his body.

"Yes we are.."
You began packing a bag, "No we are not! You cannot marry what isn't here!!"
"No wait.."

You didn't listen to anything else he had to say as you packed your bag.

I'm leaving.. I'll bring some spare money and live unrecognized.

"I said wait Princess!!"

They don't care about me so why should I care about my people??

"Princess.."

Damn it.. can't they see I'm suffering too?

"PRINCESS!!!" Kane slammed his hand on the dresser and cornered you against it, "You're not leaving.."
"Yes I-

*CLICK*

Kane suddenly clicked a handcuff on your wrist. He handcuffed the other empty cuff to himself and you watched in horror as he threw the key out the balcony.
You tried to run for it but it was no good since Kane didn't budge.

You looked at him frightened as he looked down with a darkened expression.

"I made up my mind.." he mumbled and looked up with detestment, "I'm going to kill your father tomorrow and rule this Kingdom. As for you.. I've decided not to kill you.."
The handcuffs clinked as you tried to pull away.
Kane tilted your chin as you glared at him.
"I'll make you my personal lover~"

Your heart dropped and you began to protest.

"L-Lover?! I thought you hated me!!"
"You and I both know too well that isn't the truth.." he glared and stood up, "I despise you so much yet I can't help but want you.."

He dragged you over to the bed with him and you began to fight back. Kane suddenly slammed you on the bed. You pushed at him but he just stared at you without struggle.

"Will you stop freaking out? I'm not going to hurt you.."
"You already are.." you spat with annoyance.

"Touché"
