Maximus


I was still waiting on Lavinia to come have dinner with me but she didn't, she's been distant and disrespectful for the longest but lately it's been getting way too much. She's been talking back to me like I wasn't the king and her husband.

Specially after she bought that slave, what was her name again? She's not important so I don't care to remember her name. But something about her is making me feel uneasy, I don't know why. Maybe because she came out of nowhere and stole my wife's attention from me?

"Her majesty the queen isn't feeling alright she unfortunately won't be accompanying you" a voice said, I looked up from the plate towards the door, the slave Lavinia bought was standing there with her arms in front of her and a blank look.

I hated how she was staring at me in the eyes, she was below me and she didn't have the right to look at me in the face, so disrespectful but those are the effects of being Lavinia's...she only teaches them how to be bad.

"I don't care that she's sick, go get her" I ordered but the slave didn't budge, I glared at her feeling my anger build up. I stood up and made my way towards her, I was face to face with her and she was still not bowing down.

"You are nothing but an ant, a tiny worthless slave, and you should bow down to your king" I threatened but she just stood there with an unbothered look. I raised my hand to slap her but she dodged it, my hand felt so heavy and slow compared to how she moved.

"I am not, your slave. I listen to one person and one person only, and that is your wife" she said taking a step to my face, she smiled so tauntingly and rolled her eyes before leaving the room. I tried to grab her, to beat her, to teach her a lesson but my body wouldn't move.

"Guards!" I yelled, two of my men ran inside with their heads down. I wanna kill her but something around her is protecting her, like some sort of witchcraft.

"Who is that woman?! And who was her previous owner?!" I asked pacing around the room with my hand brushing my beard down.

"She's the queen's personal guard" one of them said, I glared at him and my hand was quickly balled in a fist and I punched him hard his helmet flew away.

"Don't you fuckin think I know that! I need more information!" I yelled at them,

"S-she was at the slave market, some farmer called Atticus had her first. I was with the queen when she got her" the other guard explained and flinched waiting for me to punch him, I smirked at the new information.

"Good" I tapped his helmet and pushed him out of my way, my guards following after me. I was going to see this Atticus man, and I'm going to find out the truth behind that woman.

I jumped on my horse that was already there waiting for me, and made my way out of the castle with a few soldiers. One of my men was going to take me to this Atticus.

"Do you have any more information?" I asked the guard, as he rode his horse next to mine.

"Ah yes my king, she is...she has...well" ne stuttered out nervously making me irritated.

"Speak!"

"She has a dick, like, like us sire!" He said making me halt, so that's why Lavinia got her. Because she was sleeping with her, she thought I wouldn't suspect her or get mad if she was sleeping with woman. And she was like that child, half...ugh

"Sire! We've arrived" the one leading the way said, I looked at the vast field with slaves working around. They had a barn, and a small house. The slaves were looking at us weirdly but they quickly went back to doing their job.

"One day, he just became rich and bought so many slaves and no one knows where he got the money." One of them said, I jumped off of the horse and my guards rushed to open the house door. 

"His royal highness Sire Maximus !" My guard yelled making everyone inside the house stop what they were doing, an old man with a big stomach came running towards me and bowed his head.

"Master? Welcome to my humble home!" He said looking nervous, I looked around the place and I noticed two older women and a younger one, one of the older women was his wife while the other was dressed like a slave.

"I am here because I heard you owned a slave, she was abnormal, half man half woman, I wanna know everything about her" I said sitting down on one of the chairs. He looked back at his wife nervously then back at me.

"You mean Venus? I sold her a while ago, I don't have a relation or contact with that brat anymore" he explained,

"I don't care what your relationship with her is, I wanna know what she is and where she came from, I want everything." I said putting my hand on my sword and be nodded quickly,

"Many years ago, a woman came to our door with a baby in her arms. She begged me and my wife to take the child and take care of it, and that's what we did." He said looking at his wife, who seemed more nervous than he was. Like they were hiding something from me, something very important.

"That's it?" I asked,

"Ye-" the man said, but he was quickly cut off by his wife who seemed scared now than nervous.

"She gave us money, the small bag where she had money. And she looked like she was running away from someone..." Her husband nodded backing up her words, I looked at the woman behind them and she was just cutting a small piece of meat into pieces.

"You, you seem old enough to know about this, is that what happened?" I asked her, she looked up at me and nodded in agreement then went back to chopping the meat.

"Do you still have the bag?" I asked, but the farmer shook his head no. I waved my hand and my guards flooded the house to look for anything,  we all sat there in silence until one of my men came back with a wooden box.

"Sire, we found this" he put the box on the table in front of me and I opened it, my eyes glared at the belongings. Golden coins, rings, and bracelets. But under all of that, there was a small coin bag with the royal symbol on it.

I picked it up and opened it, inside I found a golden ring that belonged to my father. All types of thoughts were running through my head. Why do they have my father's things and how did they get them in the first place.

"This belongs to my father, how in the name of the gods did it get here!" I yelled slamming my fist on the table making them flinch.

"Sire, t-the next day, we learned that one of the prostitutes had murdered the king...rumors said she was pregnant with his child and he refused her so she killed him and robbed all his belo-" his eyes widened in realization, the same realization that I had. If this was the truth, it means that woman, that thing, is related to me.

"Which means...Venus is a royal" his wife said in disbelief, I stood up and grabbed the box handing it to one of the guards.

"No witnesses" I said putting my helmet back on my head, I heard my men pull out their swords and I closed the doors behind my back. Screams came out of the house but I didn't care, I jumped on my horse and made my way back to the castle.

My sister?

How can two people be that way, disgusting and weird be related to me... first the child and now a long lost sister that I didn't know about.

I have to find a way to get rid of this curse, I'm gonna kill them both and start a better bloodline...
