Chapter - 12 ~ Sexy Swordsman

Chloe's POV:

I was walking through the castle's rose garden, until I heard horses clopping toward the kingdom! Red must be back from the village and market! I ran to the front of the castle and waited out of the doors. I saw someone with long red hair riding in a carriage to the castle! As the carriage soon stopped, I watched as... someone? stepped out. They had long wavy red hair, tanned skin and a muscular frame. The difference was, they were... male? He had a sexyily shaped face and stong shoulders. "Hello, m'lady!~" He spoke in a soothing and charmingly deep voice. "Hello?" He bowed and I curtseyed. "Might I ask for assistance? It seems I have lost myself on the journey home!~" I nervously chuckled and welcomed him inside. 

"So, where are you from stranger?" I asked curiously. He flipped his hand through his shiny red hair. "I come from lands far away!" He spoke as if narrating a story. As we continued our conversation, I noticed he had a sword like mine in his belt. His had a beautiful rose gold carving. I gawked at the sword and he noticed, "My dear, has my weaponry caught your attention?~"I nodded sheepishly and pulled out mine. "I have one just like it, but the color is different." He looked at it with great detail. "Hmm..." He continued after a while, "You have a truly good sense in swordsman tailors, love!~" I chuckled nervously.

Just then, the door bust open. Red was pissed, she had a darkened face and a bag in her hand. "Chloe, who the fuck is this?" She said with great spite in her voice. "Calm down, woman! I am only seeking help! That is of no harm?~" The man spoke. He looked at Red, nervously gulping. Red dropped the bag and walked towards the man. "Chloe?" She tilted her head. I nervously chuckled and looked her. "Just a visiter?~" I tried to speak calmly, but Red was grilling me with her gaze. Red looked at the man. She rolled her eyes and went upstairs. 

He scoffed. "Well isn't she just overreacting?" I looked at him and sighed, "Maybe a bit?" He chuckled. "Ah! Right, my love. I am the son of the Queen of Diamonds. ?Red like the Queen of Hearts, but rules a small kingdom with no tyrant.~ The name is Daron~" He smirked. I smiled, "I'm CHloe Charming! Daughter of Cinderella?" He nodded. "I think you must be going, wouldn't want to keep you here to long now!" He sighed, "Alast, I shall be on my way... But... before I go! I want you to know," Oh god! "Chloe Charming, it appears you have caught my eye, would you like to come back and rule side by side with me??~" I choked on my spit. "Woah, woah, woah, What?!" He stood up, backing me into the couch. "My love, I want to take you home with me!~" He pushed me back onto the couch. "Please Chloe, come back to my kingdom my darling!~" I was terrified.  

BANG!

Daron fell onto the couch, his head slightly bruised. I saw Red, she had a murderous and merciless look in her eye, she looked almost like her mother. She spoke- no muttered four words. "Off. With. His. Head." She spoke deeply and coldly, mercy was found far from her. I backed away. "R-red? That isn't necessary! I'm fine okay! Please call it off!" I pleaded. She looked at the nearest guard, one from Wonderland. "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!" She shouted more fierce. She smirked as his body as dragged away, still knocked out. I dashed after the man, knocking out the guard and taking Daron before his head as cut off. Red pulled me away and forced Daron back into place, only to hold me back. He woke up and charged at Red, a guard catching him and holding him down. "Pathetic." Daron mumbled. Red raised her hand. The guard came to a halt.

"You dare speak to me that way?!!" Red was furious. "That's it, guards now! OFF WITH HIS He-" I began shaking. I was trembling. Red looked at me, confusing the guard. She groaned, "Take this dumbass to the prison. Put him in the darkest, coldest and nastiest cell you can find!" She shouted, giving Daron a dirty look. He looked at me and smiled, silently thanking me. I was trembling clutching onto Red. She looked down at me and smiled, "Chloe, baby, I'm sorry for losing my temper." She tried to sound sweet, but the merciless tone remained in her voice. "You... You wanted him DEAD!?" Red looked at me confused, "I changed my mind!" She screamed back.  I shrunk down. I let go of her, "No you didn't... you still want him dead. I- I don't need this right now..." 

Red's POV:

I watched as Chloe left the court. She went inside and I called the guard back. "Off with his..." I looked down at him, remembering Chloe's words. "Guards. Escort him back to his cell. I will decide his punishment later." I was to weak. What would my mother think? 'OFF WITH HIS HEAD!' was her thing and she wanted me to be her minime. Is this right? I should talk to Chloe, NO! I should just demand him beheadment. Mom said it was better to be feared than loved. But she was hated... I guess. I need to talk to Chlo. I went to the castle and looked for Chloe, circling around to out bedroom. I entered and found her sleeping. Her eyes tear stained. I crawled into bed next to her, she only responded by tensing her body and scooting away. 

I huffed, pulling her into my lap. I held her close and played with her blue curls humming. She visibly calmed down, she seemed relaxing. I held her tightly as if she were about to fall out of the world and made sure she was warm. She nuzzled into my chest. "Chlo , I am sorry that I went overboard. I'm used to my mom having me do that." She looked up at me, "Red, I... I don't want you doing that to anybody unless they deserve it! Like a serial killer or something!" Chloe rambled cutely. I put my thumb on her chin and lifted her head, making her look me in the eyes. "I did want to kill him, and I'm sorry I went mad. I wanted you safe! I just needed to protect you, I'm sorry I said that." Chloe sighed contently and nuzzled into my embrace, wiping her tears away. I played with her blue curls to drift her off into sleep. Following after her, I soon drifted into slumber holding her tightly.
