I'm Kira,the princess of a powerful kingdom,Kairos Kingdom of Veromos.In our language Vero means ,,Power" and ,,Mos" means ,,The most",so its translation would be The most Powerful Kairos Kingdom,Kairos is from the King of Giants,his name was Kairos,he was over 200 ft tall and he killed almost all the people in this world,he was very greedy,he also killed the giants that wanted to stop this masacre.People were dying and the Kings didn't know what to do to stop him.No army could kill him,not even all the soldiers in this world.
One day,around 54 years ago,a powerful man,the strongest man they say,killed Kairos.He was named also Kairos,people say that he could lift up mountains and could kill a normal giant in a second.He was my grandfather,the first human that lifted me up when I was born,he said that I'm a warrior and he will make anything to keep me safe,although my grandfather died after the day I was born,the cause is unknown,some say he was killed by dragons and some others think that he comitted suicide.I was the only niece that he lifted in his strong arms and that melted his heart.He was not only the strongest..he was the best,he was smart and cunning,he was always with 3 steps before the enemy.He created an army as tough as he was and he was also fearless.My granfather had no fear,but when I was born he looked at me scared,like he didn't know what to do,to lift me to the sun,to show the others that the new Queen is born or to kill me because that was the first time he felt scared.Still,he was the most fucked up king that made history in our days.
So,the full translation of the name of our kingdom is The most Powerful Kingdom of Kairos.
Now I'm 21 years old and my coronation will be tomorrow.I'm so excited.Right now Wyatt is trying to catch me because I don't want to go to classes and I'll get him in trouble.Wyatt is my bestfriend since childhood,he's been protecting me since I was born,and now he's my personal royal guard,my father decided that he is worthy of protecting me,so when he was 22 and I was 18 he became my personal guard and would follow me everywhere.
-I'm going to catch you!
-No you're not!
I almost slam into a wall because I was looking back at him,when he reaches me and turns fast so as not to hit me,but himself.
-You silly princess,he laughs.
-Well,it's not my fault that you slammed into the wall.And I'm not a princess anymore!I'm a queen!Treat me as such!
-Oh I'm very sorry my queen,he says kneeling in front of me reaching with his hand his heart.
I burst out laughing and he looks at me pretending to me annoyed.
-What?I tried my best,your highness.
-You know that in front of my dad you call me ,,Your highness" but not when it's just the two of us,it's boring because it's so long.
-I know Kira,but still,I'm just your royal guard,nothing more.
-Shut it!We're friends!We're best friends!And no one can tear me apart from you!And I don't care how you adress to me,for me you'll be Wyatt,okay??I say pretending to me mad at him.
To be honest it's annoying sometimes when he calls me ,,Your highness",it's like we're strangers..
-I'm sorry Kira,he says smilling,looking at me with his beautiful blue eyes.
-You know why I'm annoyed by that.
-Because it remembers you that you cannot be my girlfriend?
-Wyatt!
-What?C'mon Kira,I know what you think about me,I know I've changed,but I'm still the same Wyatt.
-No you're not!
-And why do you say that,princess?his eyes are focused on mine and also on my lips,while his hands catch mine stretching them above my head so I cannot move.
-Maybe because since you are my royal guard and since u lost your virginity you go out with girls every night.I hate seeing you at that tavern almost every week!I know that nobody sees you,but if they find out you're dead!
-Hm..do I smell a lil' bit of jealousy here?
-To be honest,none!I say while I'm looking at him denying the feeling of sadness,seeing him in that tavern.
-Well,I think you'd like to get in my pants too.
-Don't flirt with me,you jerk!Maybe you look tough from the outside with all those scars from the fightings and all your muscles and your tough facial expression,but you're just a little bear inside that loves to hug me whener it's sad!I'll never be in your pants!Okay?!
-Oh,my apoligies then,he says,bowing like a gentleman in front of me.
-You know that I hate you when you do that.
-Why,because you're jealous?
-No,because I don't understand you.
-Kira,when you'll find out about what sex means to me,you'll be scared.
-I know what sex means to you,and by the waaay!You're not suppose to talk about it with the future queen!
-Well,in front of me you're just a little girl that looks at me with her cat eyes that makes me protect her with my entire life.
-Excuse me,but still,be for once serious.
-I'm serios right now.
-No,you're not!
-At least I try,okay?Why are you off your classes?
-Because I don't want to learn boring things about the other kingdoms,the only one that matters is mine.
-Yes,but justitiar Vigor is going to be upset again.Unless we do something to keep him bussy.
-You know why you're my best friend?Because you helped me with all the pranks we did to him.Burning his hands,lying to him,cut off his hair and so on.
-You're the silliest queen I know.
-Well I'm the only one you know so I don't need to be worried.Wyatt,I'm really scared.
-Why?
-Because my father just turned 60 and I don't know if I can rule this kingdom like he did.I can't even compare to my father let alone my grandfather,although that story is a fairy tale.
-I don't know,some bitches told me it's true.Kairos was the strongest man in this world.
-Yes,but nobody saw a giant,not even the old people saw them,maybe it was only some imagination?
-Well,imagination or not you'll still become a queen,the queen of the most powerful kingdom in this world,he says turning me towards the window and showing me the view of the capital.
We're in a hall where almost nobody comes so we don't have to pretend that we're formal towards each other.It's a large hall with huge windows where you can see the beauty of the kingdom,all it's rivers,all of the small houses and so on.
-Yes,I'm nervous.What would you do if you become a king?
-First,I'd visit my country to know that all the people in it are safe and happy,and second I'd get a queen,a smart,beautiful woman that knows how to fight and that will melt my heart.
-Well,that sounds kinda like me to be honest,I say without realizing what I was about to say.
-You don't know how to fight,Kira,I can do whatever I want to you in a fight,I can kill you with ease.
-Maybe because you're a boy and you're stronger than me,but my skills with the sword are better than yours,that's why you always lose when I'm serious.
-Oh,Kira,Kira,Kira,you're still a girl,aren't you?I'm a man,I'm twice your size,I can run faster than you and I can seize you easily.
-You're not a man for me,you're still the boy that will protect me with his entire life even if he dies he'll protect me from up there,I say approaching him.I'm sure that even if you killed thousands of people,you're soul cannot hurt a mosquito.
-Wanna check that out?Kira,you have to admit that in a hand-to-hand combat I'd win.
-Okay,maybe in that kind of fight.
-Okay,so you wanna steal my heart?I got you.
-I'd never want your heart.
-Maybe do some spells on me if you want it,little witch,he says moving away and parting his arms like waiting for me to put a spell on him.
-I'm a witch because I have green eyes,but you also have eyes that look like mine,that's not fair!People think I'm a witch because they've never seen a girl with green eyes,only man,but that's also very rare.
-Hm..maybe you're special.But depends for who.
-For you the most,I smile hugging him and pressing my face on his muscular chest,he also embracing me with much love.
-Maybe because I'd protect you forever,I'm the only one that would never leave you alone when you need the most.
-Wyatt?
-Yes?
-Could you please stop?
-From what?he says puzzled,but still hugging me.
-From going out with all those girls,Wyatt,I command you,I slowly take a step back and look into his eyes.I'm your queen,and you swore to follow my orders even in the darkest times,so please,follow this one,you know that I hate when I command you,but you're not like those drunk men that go there just to..
-Fuck those women,he completes.
-Yes..just because you like the pleasure it doesn't means that I like what you do.
-Yes my queen,I understood.
-Thank you,now,I say grabbing him by his arm, let's go to the garden!
-No,justitiar Vigor sent me to bring you back.
-Will you listen to justitiar Vigor or to Kira,your queen and your best friend?
-Ok,you got me,let's go.
We run to the garden of the castle,where I like to read and write the most books.Some of our people saw that we're heading to the garden but didn't tell anything,maybe because they know that we cannot be parted away when we do silly things.Since kids we had a connection,we had a relationship like enemies-bestfriends,because Wyatt sometimes doesn't understand why I do some things and I just don't want to back down,he is also a flirty guy that lost his virginity when he was like 14 and now he fucks bitches because they PAY him!LIKE..WHY WOULD THEY PAY YOU FOR SUCH THINGS??THAT'S WEIRD!
We arrive in the garden and I throw myself on the smooth grass that I love.Wyatt is looking at me without joining me,as he did when we were kids,he thinks that I look more beautiful when I'm enjoying about something alone without him.I don't know why he thinks that,maybe because he thinks he's dangerous and he doesn't want to touch me with his hands,but he is the same Wyatt for me,a big bear with a massive heart that would flirt with me anytime,he never did anything to me,like he just flirts he never kissed me,never touched me intimately,still he's not supposed to do that,because he would break his oath,we cannot be togheter,and we can never be..that makes me sad whenever I think about it.
-What's wrong princess?
-It's..nothing.Come!I extend my hand to him.Join me!
-No,I don't want to join you,I still have some dutties to fulfill,I don't have time,but I promise you that tomorrow I'm all your yours.
-Really?Could we visit the Lelas Lake?
-Whatever you want my queen,he smiles.
I jump to embrace him by his neck but I almost fell,so he grabs my waist and lifts me up to the sky.
-I'm much taller than you now,what are you going to do about it?
-Well,first I'm going to slam you to the ground and second play with you.
-What kind of games?I ask looking into the beautiful sky.
-Games that you might like.
-Try me then.
He knocks me to the ground and starts to tickle me.
-Hey,no,stop!I hate you!I say laughing and trying to push him away.
-You made me do this,now endure it!
-Wyatt stop!Haaha!
He just smiles and keeps tickling me 'till I grab him by the collar and put him on the ground,without realizing that I'm on top of him and we're in an intimately position.
-Now who's got the control,big boy?
With his large arm grabs almost my entire waist and knocks me off him just to put himself on top of me after.
-I think you're wrong Kira,I'm always in control.
-I'm not one of those bitches of yours wich you can fuck whenever you want.
-Damn,the queen starts to talk dirty,well it's forbidden to do anything to you as long as I swore to not be in touch with you,just to protect you with my life and listen to your orders as a future queen.
-I miss the old days,when we were kids.
When we had no worries and we could do whatever we want.Now,if we just talk about something or hug,people think that we're in love.
-Maybe I'm in love.
-With who?
-Well..you know,with a girl that has brown hair,green eyes that looks just like cats eyes,beautiful lips that I could devour and also beautiful boobs.
-You're talking about me?
-No,he says smilling.
-YOU FREAKING JERK!!!YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT ME!I push him to the ground and I get up,he just stays down looking at me with his beautiful structures and his armor shining in the sunlight.
-Well,I'm not going to comment.
-So it's true!!You..
-Princess Kira.
-Oh!I say scared looking at my maid.It's just you Delias.What's wrong?
-The King wants to see you.
-My father?But he thinks that I'm..
-His majesty knows that your highness skipped.
Oh..FUCK!NOW HE'S MAD!
-Please your highness,come with me.
-It's ok Delias I can go there with Wyatt.
-My apologies but Wyatt cannot come.
-Why?He's my royal guard,my personal one,I want him to come with me.
-I'm sorry your highness but his majesty told me to bring you alone..
-But..
-Without your royal guard.
-Wyatt..I say looking at him with puppy eyes.
-It's okay your highness,go.I'll wait for you near the Lelas Lake,untill then I'm going to fulfill my duties.
-Okay.
He wants to go,but I stop him.
-Wyatt?
-Yes your highness.
-Be there.
-If your highness wants me to be there,then I will listen to your command.
-It's not a command,it's a request,I smile at him and he looks over his shoulder back at me and smiles gently.
-Your highness,says Delias still bowed in front of me,his majesty is waiting.
-Yeah,sorry Delias.
-Your highness you haven't done anything wrong.
-Delias,I'm also a human,I'm not a god so please just shut it.
-I'm sorry your..I wave her not to do another sounds and she smiles.
Wyatt goes to right,and we go to the Throne Room,where my father stays day and night to read all the pappers that come to him from our villagers to talk about their concerns and to ask the king about minor things.
Delias is one of my maids,she is the only one that I like,because all the other maids are too formal,and when I ask them to talk to me normally they say that it's forbidden.I know,I know,I'm the princess,the future queen,but at least listen to my request.Delias is different,she is the only one that can see me in my underwear and can touch my skin when I get dressed,I don't like being dressed like I don't have any hands or I'm not capable of doing it myself,but Delias insists,and her big brown eyes can get almost anything from me.
We arrive in the Throne Room,where my father stands on his throne reading a letter and rubbing his face like if he has a fever.The Throne Room is where all the bonquets are held.It's big room and it has pictures of the other Kings on the walls,but it strange that my grandfather haven't got one,maybe he didn't want?I dont know,and the room also has very large windows,and you can see almost anything in the capital.
-Your majesty,I adress him bowing myself to the ground and back up.
-Leave us alone,he commands and within seconds all the people in the room are outside.
-What's wrong dad?
-What,no greetings towards an old man?he laughs,rising from his giant throne and coming straight up to me.
-Dad!
We hug as if we hadn't seen each other for years.He then steps back looking at me with his old blue eyes,just like my grandfather did.My father knows almost everything about me,well he doesn't know the things that I talk with Wyatt,what I discuss with Wyatt well,it's between the two of us,but when I tell him how I prank justitiar Vigor he never punishes me,he just laughs 'till tears because I'm such a silly girl.
My father and mother gave birth to me when they were around 40 years old,they were kinda old,but they wanted a child.My mom was desperate,because none of our witchdoctors where abble to give her a child.My grandfather was angry so he killed all of them and made a cure that made my mom get pregnant.Nobody knows how,the liquid that my mom drank was red and had a metallic smell,but she still drank it even if she almsot threw up.After a week the curers told mom she was pregnant,so our kingdom threw a party where all the kingdoms near us where invited.The party lasted a week,where my grandfather and my dad got very drunk,they where both very happy.But after my birth,grandpa died and after a year my mom got sick,and no one could find a cure,so she died after a month of dealling with the pain.From then,my father was the only one left alive from my family,he is a great father,the best one.
-So,Kira,how is it going with Wyatt?
-What?Dad!!We cannot be togheter!
-Why are you saying this?I'm not going to punish him that hard for you.
-C'mon dad,I don't wanna talk about Wyatt.
-Kira,I know you still have time,but you're already twenty one years old,tomorrow will be your coronation.
-Dad,please don't,you know that I don't like to be dominated by a man,don't you?And I want to be a queen,to rule the kingdom how I want,not how my husband wants,I want to be the first queen of these lands that rules without help from any men.
-Kira,I know what you're thinking,but still,you have to make kids that will inherit the throne with a man,and also,you'll fall in love with somebody.
-I know,but nobody has ever spoke to me,none of the boys talked to me at my classes even if I tried to approach them they would've just excuse themselves and go away.
-Maybe because Wyatt scares all of them,you know..that pretty boy is a beast.
-What?
-You know,my daughter,he's kinda overprotective of you.
-Why would he do that?I can take care of myself,I'm stronger than him.
-Maybe with the sword,but remember that he's a man now,he's not the little boy that you used to slam to the ground.Nevermind,that's not what I called you for.
-What's wrong dad?
-It's about your coronation.
-I'm all ears.
-I know you may be nervous that this is happening too soon,but I'm old,I'm very old Kira and I can't go into a fight anymore,I want to protect you,but my years of glory are ruined.I need somebody that can jump into a battle without thinking that the enemy might kill him with ease just because he's too old and cannot move like when he was twenty.
-I understand.
-So I will abdicate the throne,and it will return to you.I know you're going to be a great queen.You're smart,you're also cunning and you know how to fight and how to create strategies,you'll be tbe most powerful queen in history,maybe even more powerful than Kairos.
-Dad,come on,nobody will ever rule like grandpa,he was the strongest man that ever existed,and the system of the army that he created was the toughest,all the kingdoms tried to reveal his next move,but they were not smart enough to outcome grandpa.
-Well,your grandpa killed the Giant Kairos,it's normal that he is that smart,he killed the King of Giants.
-Dad,giants don't exist,they're just fairy tales.
-And what do you know about fairy tales, my dear?
-That they are not true.
-You're wrong.
-Dad,you've never saw a giant,maybe grandpa did,but he's not here to assure me that the giants are real.
-Then what did your grandpa killed?
-I don't know,maybe a giant dragon,but giants?I asked all the old ones in capital,they never saw one.
-Maybe because they're not old enough.
-Or maybe because they don't exist.
-Kira,almost all of the population in this world was killed by that giant,what do you expect?
-Well..I don't know to be honest,but I don't think they're real.
-Okay,I'm not going to argue with you because you're just as stubborn as Kairos was.You can go,that's all I wanted to tell you.All the kingdoms will be there,Kingdom Megaris,Kingdom Fang,Kingdom..
-Blah,blah,blah,blah.
-You're not even listening!
-Because I don't like to meet new people,it's annoying,boring and also humiliating for me,you know that I don't like to new people.
-Well,if you want to be a powerful queen you'll have to meet them so listen to me.
-Tomorrow,not today.
-Kira,don't go!
He shouts at me,but I'm already running for the exit.I want to meet Wyatt faster,at least I'll keep my mind outta this coronation thing for a while.
-Kira!he shouts again.
I stop at the door with only half body inside the room.
-Wyatt is not bad.
-Dad,I'm going to kill you.
-Well,better sooner than later.
-Dad,he's my best friend,we cannot and also his oath,it's forbidden.
-Yes,here it's forbidden,but God allows it,so..go for it.He'll get punished,a punishment that will prabably kill him,so it's your choice.Make him suffer for your love or suffer by yourself.
-Dad,this will never happen,he's a friend.
-I just told you,he says turning to his throne.
-Dad,psst!I say smiling at him.
-Hm?
-I love you.
-Me too.
After this conversation I close the door and run on the hallways,to meet Wyatt at the Lales Lake.I get a donut in a hurry in my mouth and then get Bety from her cage.She is a species of dog that looks almost like a wolf,but she's not,and she's also smaller,but still a smart dog that would rip anyone's face for me.
-Hello,my beautiful,how are you?
-Woof!she's gladly wagging her tail.
-Well,we're going to see Wyatt at the Lales Lake,your favourite,so while I'm with him you can go around the lake,maybe you find something interesting.
-Woof!Woof!
-Good,my love,now let's go!I'll get Wind,and then we're ready to go.Could you please steal something to eat also?
I haven't eaten since morning,you know,like some donuts from Lya or maybe..mmmm!A steak from Barbos.I know you don't have a really good relationship with him,but if he touches you,you can rip off his face.
-Woof!
-Ok,go,I'll take Wind!
-Woof!
Bety starts running towards the kitchen and I start heading towards the stable,where Wind is waiting for me.He is a horse that is even taller than Wyatt and that can carry 4 big loggs without any help.He is fast even if he is gigantic,and he is very beautiful,his black thick fur is keeping him warm when its cold,and his hair on his back is the heaven for me,because I braid it in thick ponytails,but also let some hair not braided look even more beautiful.
-Hello big,beautiful boy!
-Nigaah!
-Are you ready to go to Lelas Lake?
-Nigaah!
-Ok,then bow and go slow,Bety is on her way too.
-Ngnh.
-I know that she bit your leg,but she was just scared because you're so massive.She is my friend,okaay?
-Ngnh!
-Okay,bow.
I climb on Wind and we go around the stable like we're the only ones there.People are looking at me while some are bowing their heads,well,I'll be queen soon,so they should all bow their heads.
When I was little,Wyatt taught me everything I know now,he taught me how to ride a horse,how to fight,how to use a sword,a bow,like..all the boy things that he knew.He was so happy that he has somebody to talk,that he brought me a big bouquet of roses,red roses,my favourite ones,not too red,not too pale,just enough to be the color I like the most.
Well yeah,he was like that 'till 23 years old,because after all these things he changed.He was sleeping with every woman that wanted him,just for money,he is a man of justice,he respects that,but he's also doing things that I hate.After the night with those girls he would tell me everything in detail,I was like his brother and sister at the same time,I don't know if we can be more than that,but the present it matters,so for now we're friends,best friends.He says that he just likes sex for fun and that it makes him relax,I don't know how that thing is making him relaxed when a woman is screaming in front of you,it would scratch my brain.But also..why are they paying him?I mean like..I'm a princess,I find out more from Wyatt than from any other person,but still.I don't really know what happens when you have sex,like..you just do it and that's all right?Untill he just comes in me and he'll make me pregnant,that's all I know,I don't have any experience,so my first time will be very awkward.Wyatt knows,he's a master in these things,I thought about it sometimes,but I don't have time for it,I want to live my life on maximum,so I don't care about filthy things.
After not a long time Bety joins us.That makes Wind to accelerate into thr woods.I don't know if dad knows that I'm outta town,well I think justitiar Vigor is going to tell him that I skipped his last lesson about the other kingdoms,and also how to be a great queen.I think I'll figure that out.
-So you stole that steak?
She just nods and wagg her tail happy that she accomplished what I told her.
-Good girl.
-Niggah!
Wind goes even faster,that leaves Bety behind us.
-Are you jealous?
-Ngnh..
-Well,you're the only horse that I like,she helps me as much as you do,he slaps his tail over my face.
-Ouch!Wind!!
-Ngnh?
-C'mon,you're too large to enter my room,if you were not that big and scary I would've let you to stay in my room.
-Ngnh..
-Oh,I'm not mad at you,you're not scary for me,you're the most beautiful horse that I've ever seen.
-Nigaah!
-You like to talk about yourself,I know,but now let's show Bety that you're faster than her paws.
-Nigaah!
Wind goes even faster,dodging all the trees and jumping where there was a small river.
Bety tries to keep up with us but she can't equal Wind when he is jealous of something.Wind is the best horse in Veromos,so nobody can catch him if he runs.When I go for a walk with him I feel alive,I always leave Wyattbehind,then I hide from him,although he always finds me,it's funny to make him worried.Wind is a species of horse that was made by our kingdom the Dall horse,in our language ,,Dall" means ,,fast" so the translation would be The Fast Horse.On land we have the fastest horses,but on water Megaris Kingdom has the fastest ships,I prefer more on land,I don't really like to be on a ship,I feel like I'm gonna drow any minute,even if Wyatt taught me how to swim,I'm still scared of being on a ship,I feel like I'm not safe.It swings continuously and I feel nauseous,I feel like I'm gonna trow up.
