crystal clear

Chapter three

Crystals POV
When I woke up this morning I laid there for a good twenty minutes not wanting to open up my eyes and face reality. I was hoping I would be at home in my small house but I could tell my the extremely comfy bed that I wasn't.

A knock at the door made me open my eyes. Being to lazy to get up and open the door I shouted come in. A small, stubby female goblin walked in my room with a few other goblins carrying chest.

"These are your clothes, my lady. Do you need help getting dressed?" She asked me a in a rough voice.
The other goblins put down the chests and walked out.
"Errrr I'm alright thanks." I said to her while giving her a funny look.
"Okay my lady." She curtsied and walked out.

I flung my face in my pillow muffling my screams.
"I hate my life." I repeated this for a good ten minutes before getting out of the warmth of the bed.

I looked around the huge room and stopped when I saw a door. That must be the bathroom.

And I was correct. The bathroom was massive and amazing. Everything was pearly white. There was a ginormous bath tub in the middle of the room and a shower in the corner. There was a big cupboard filled with fluffy towels and every flavour of soap. It was amazing. The bath was filled and just the right temperature.

I got in and relished in the comfort of the warm relaxing water. After about an hour in there I got hungry so I climb out and got dry.
I chose my outfit which was a colourful pattern skirt, black vest top and a leather jacket. Then I just put on a pair of black wedges to give me height. Then I straightened my hair and put on a little makeup.

I make myself look nice even when I'm spending the day in. I don't dress up for anyone other than myself.

I think I'm going to go explore and hopefully find some food.

I walk down the long corridors enjoying the sound of my heels clicking on the stone floor. When I turn the corner I bump into someone and it sends me flying on the floor.
"Hey watch where your going!" I shout.
"My apologies, love." I look up from the floor and see Lucien. Ugh. He grabs my arm and pulls me up.

When I try to walk around him be grabs my arm again.
"Where are you going?" He asks with amusement. I glare at his smug face and I just want to punch him.
"To find a kitchen or something." I answer him. And try to walk again.
"You're going the wrong way." I groan.
"Well can you show me?" I ask him.
"If you ask me nicely." He says smirking

I return the smirk.
"Oh then I guess I will find it myself then." I say. I yank my arm out of his grip and walk in a different direction.

Luciens POV
I've never met someone so stubborn in my entire life.
I watch the naive girl go again in the wrong direction but I follow her anyway.
"Love, that's the wrong way." I say laughing.
She turns around and looks like she is going to stab me or something.
"Come on. I guess I will show you."
She follows me with a face void of emotion.

"What's up with you, sweetheart?" I ask her.
"Seriously you're asking me that." She almost shouts. I just shrug. "I've been forced here I'm a place so big I don't have a clue where to go. I've got no one to talk to because all of my friends are at home. And I'm been forced to marry a stranger."
She rants and then let's out a breath.

"Feel better?" I ask her sarcastically.
She frowns at me. "What do you think?"

"No but seriously. You don't want to marry me so why should we?"
"Because I will get to be King, crystal and i want to be King." I answer her honestly.

"So you're fine with this because you get power?"
"No I'm fine with this because all I have to do is marry you, we have a heir. You do what you want and I do what I want. At the same time I will get my kingdom I have worked hard for all my life." I say to her.

"I get nothing out of this!" She shouts at me.
"Crystal I don't care what you get out of this. Figure out something or get a hobby to keep yourself happy okay." I snidely say to her getting fed up with her complaining. I wish I got to choose my own wife. Then I would just choose one of them girls I sleep with who wouldn't complain as long as I have them night time attention. Crystal on the other hand wants everything.

Then I walk away leaving her at the kitchen door.
God she is hard work.

Crystals POV
That narcissistic, selfish bastard. Oh yeah he gets a throne, an heir and probably loads of whores. While his pathetic wife sits there and maybe takes up tennis to pass the time. Fuck him. I can't believe he just said that.

I sit there calling him every name under the sun while aggressively stabbing my food. Then someone walks in the room.

"I take it something has upset you crystal." Jareth says to me. I fling my fork on the plate.
"Yeah that something been you're son." He went to say something but I carried on talking. "You know he had the audacity of saying that he is going to get the throne, an heir and that i can just get a hobby to pass the time. Like the who the hell does he think he is?" I rant on again.

"He is just used to getting everything."
"Well it's not going to be like that anymore because I'm not going to sit back and let him get everything. If I'm going to marry him he better act like a decent husband or I will make his life a living hell."

"I wonder expect any less, dear." He says to me and I smile.
