The definition of a Princess

26

"Either you marry me.. or I'll kill you right now"

...

You laughed knowing he didn't have the guts. You trailed your finger on his chest and he stiffened with anger.

"Tell me Kane.. would you marry a corpse just to be King?" you smirked as his expression held back anger, "Something tells even if I was dead, you'd still yearn to be my lover.."

Something about the ordeal was amusing. How Kane had hurt you so but was now desperate for your hand. It was so cute..
It was cute to the point you could almost give in but you knew you wouldn't.

Kane banged his fist on the wall, "Don't be so gruesome! You will be taking my name, even if it's death do us part.."

You couldn't help but scoff at his immoral response. He couldn't be serious..
You banged on the closet door, trying to get someone's attention and Kane didn't stop you.
You started shouting and banging on the door until Guards heard. They opened the door from the outside and that's when a smile formed on your face as light peered in.

"Princess!!" the Guards said in unison and Kane stepped infront of you.
"Where's the King?"
"He's in critical condition. He's been taken to the best hospital.." one Guard replied and you spoke up.
"Where is the culprit?"
"Inside the building we presume.."
You almost gasped as your mouth gaped open, "What?!"

There was sudden gun fire and Kane fled, bringing you alongside him.
You covered your ears as bullets flew through the room. The Guards dropped dead as you and Kane hid behind a pillar.

"T-They're trying to kill me.."  you muttered out and Kane interlocked your hands.

It was pointless holding hands especially with the cuffs keeping you attached. Kane didn't seem as scared as you were either. Was it bravery or was he just calmer in your presence?
He glanced from behind the pillar and immediately duck back as a bullet flew pass his head.

"Shit.. my gun is in the room.." he groaned as his hand squeezed tightener.

Even more Guards came pouring into the room but they were being shot down as they pulled out swords.
Somehow, these traitors had guns but how?!
Only Head Knights were allowed with guns.. unless they had somehow got the keys to the weaponry but only the Lord and Lady Regent had those.

"I don't understand.." you said out loud and Kane glanced at you.
"You don't need too. Just know they want to take you and the King out. Also know that won't happen because without you, there's no bride which means there's no room for me in the Monarchy.."
"But Kane!"
"There's three men.." he informed, "They all have guns with their faces covered. They are waiting for either us to come out or for the Guards to stop pouring in"
You gulped as you looked at Kane with nervousness, "What do we do?"
"Firstly.." Kane tilted your chin with a smirk, "I'll save you.. if you marry me"

You could hardly stand the male.
You would love nothing more than to just hit him! Or atleast something to knock some sense!

Is marrying you really all he thinks about?

"You're my Personal Guard! You're supposed to protect me!" you spat and the bullet fire finally seized.

Your heart dropped and Kane cursed to himself as the footsteps came closer. You knew they would kill you once they saw you.
You gripped Kanes shirt and despite not wanting to, you agreed.

"I'll marry you!!"
"I knew you'd come around~ Pinky promise?"
You rolled your eyes, "Princess's honor"

Kane stood up and you almost lost it as he walked from behind the pillar.

"What are you doing!?" you yelled until Kane began to smile and greet the men.
"Oi!! My old friends!!" he smiled as you were pulled along side as he hugged the traitors.

The men began to laugh but you were more concerned of the dead bodies on the floor.
Blood poured from the many men willing to risk their lives for you. They were dead and killed with no remorse despite being innocent.

So many.. they didn't deserve to go out in such a way.

"Sirus is that you?! Geez you could have told us you'd be down here! You could've got shot! I thought the plan was for you to capture the Princess?!" one man asked and you balled your fist.
"Kane.." you muttered with utmost anger.
His smile immediately faded as he saw your hot tears, "Princess listen.."
"You are the most insufferable.. most conniving, despicable boy I've ever had the displeasure of meeting!!" you screamed and the three men looked at each other awkwardly and backed away.
"Calm down!! You said earlier I've been doing nothing but tormenting you when really I've had this all planned! There will be no second wave of genocide and after our marriage, I'll take rule as the King dies in the hospital"

You were shaking.
You should've known. How could you had fallen for this trick?
Being trapped in that closet wasn't an accident..
He had planned it all!!
And the audacity he had.. to touch and kiss you as though he was innocent.
The audacity he had to apologize!!

You could have fell for it..

You immediately swung at Kane and hit him across the face. Two of the masked man immediately grabbed your arms as you kicked at Kane.

"You're a liar!!" you screamed with tears and he wiped the blood from his mouth.
"What did you expect? You really thought I loved you? God women are so cute and dumb.. especially Princesses~"

You felt a needle stick into your neck and your eyes widened as one of the men injected something inside you.

"N-No.." you mumbled as you slowly fell to the ground. One of the men unlocked your cuffs and Kane bent down with a smirk.
"You're going to take a little nap~ Don't worry.. Our wedding will be the most romantic before ending your life.."
You gripped his ankle as you felt everything going dark, "P-Please"

"Shhhh, go to sleep my little Princess~"
