The Third Queen

Ally

Spitting at his name Leia cursed under her breathe,her once dull violet eyes struggling to overtake their dangerous glow. "Don't flatter yourself." Her words seething with rage as Amshel merely smirked towards Leia quite shocked and pleased at the fact she could be so defiant despite her weakened state. It was almost laughable to the Chevalier who in the blink of an eye appeared mere inches from Leia. His sudden intrusion of her personal space shaking her to the core as her very body visibly began to tremble before him. Remembering all the horrid things he had done to her in the past. His disgusting hands caressing her body all the while she screamed,begged for him to cease his actions. Yet it seemed her cries only seemed to build his already ravage appetite. And it sickened Leia till this very day.

Amshel merely smirked towards Leia his eyes taking their own dangerous crimson glow as he daringly reached out towards Leia. She visibly flinched from his hand,shutting her eyes before feeling his fingers running through her raven locks. How dare he touch her. "As lovely and defiant as always,eh Leia?"Amshel commented as he continued to play with Leia's hair loving the way she squirmed before him. She was afraid of him. And this brought him an immense surge of joy. To have someone as powerful and beautiful as a Queen kneel before him was truly divine. With an evident smirk on his face Amshel then decided to go Abit further.

Reaching out to touch Leia's face and this was just something she couldn't bear anymore. On instinct Leia slapped his hand away with such force it almost pulled Amshel's shoulder out of socket. Which surprised him since she had lost most of her strength. Yet there it was bubbling under the surface. The ruthless power and tenacity that was the "Third Queen" and he wanted to break her. With her eyes now open Leia's gaze darted back and fourth in fear as Amshel angrily grabbed the Queen by her face applying pressure which threatened to break her very skull. Leia clawed at his hand as she felt the pressure intensifying to her disbelief. She couldn't believe how weak she was. How could she let herself get to this point? To become his personal tool he could do whatever he wished with. Tears slithered down Leia's cheeks as Amshel roughly threw Leia across the room,her back clashing against the sharp edge of Amshel's desk.

She released a brief hiss before struggling to remain on her feet. Leia then peered towards the dangerous man before her who merely smirked at her. Before slowly walking towards the flustered Leia. She pressed her body against the desk,her hands scanning the desk for anything she could use to defend herself but finding nothing. Cursing her bad luck Leia prepared herself for what she assumed would be the remainder of her punishment but only received words. Words that she couldn't quite understand. " Don't you want to see your child, Leia?" Upon hearing those words Leia's eyes seemed to come alive. With a new flame that refused to be forgotten. Her child. Her reason for being here in the God forsaken place. She could see her child again. The reason why she felt so empty and alone in this horrid place. Her baby.

Watching carefully Amshel noticed the new sense of strength in Leia's eyes which seemed to turn her once dull gleaming eyes to those he knew from years ago. The eyes of a powerful Queen. A queen that he once craved and wished to bed. She was here once again before him. Slowly Leia stepped towards Amshel her vibrant gaze never leaving his as she demanded "Where is my child?" Her words so powerful it seemed to force Amshel to his very knees. Unfamiliar with her sudden sense of power. For mere moments ago he was the most powerful creature in the room. And now he wasn't. She was. The lioness that wanted nothing more than to protect her cub.

Clearing his throat Amshel called the more flamboyant Chevalier,Nathan. Whom casually appeared in the seat behind his desk. Slowly Wheeling the chair so that he now faced the enraged Queen and Amshel. "Oh my,what a party you have here Amshel." Nathan commented as in his arms he revealed a small cocoon which Leia's eyes immediatly widened at. Her child. He held her child in his arms with a playful smile on his face. Raising to his feet Nathan bravely stepped forward to Leia, recognizing her as the true powerful Queen he was Nathan bowed at Leia's very feet. He then dared to look Leia in the eye before he held her child up to her. On instinct Leia brought her hibernating child into her arms,allowing her fingers to brush against the rough shell which protected it.

Tears of joy and relief began to speak from her eyes as Leia held her little darling to her chest. Whispering sweet words to her child knowing it could indeed hear her. For the first time since Kai had appeared at the Villa she felt whole. At peace even,swaddling her beloved child Nathan smiled towards Leia never truly wishing to keep her away from her offspring. "Foolish Amshel,keeping a mother from her child will only end in bloodshed. You should have realized that long before." Nathan commented obviously not agreeing with Amshel's treatment of the Queen. Amshel hissed at Nathan earning a stern crimson gaze that even shut him up.

Sometimes even Amshel would forget. Nathan was not Diva's Chevalier,no. He was the First Queen's Chevalier and overall had no real desire to pick sides for either Queen. He was merely an observer. Wishing for nothing more than a glorious show that we would create. A perfect stage for the Three Queen's to duel and finally end his immortal curse. For even Nathan wished for death. After all his Queen was no more. Dead for quite sometime due to his inability to protect her. In Amshel's eyes this powerful yet pitiful Chevalier was simply caring for her offspring watching them grow in hopes of finally being reunited with his Queen. Nathan was old,and powerful. He was not one to flaunt his power but when he was angry you would surely know. And Amshel knew he had angered him deeply.

"Separate them again,and I'll have your head." Nathan threatened his voice a mixture of man and beast as Amshel quietly nodded. Knowing when to keep his mouth shut. But that didn't stop his anger. For his gaze was heavily glued to Leia whom held her child lovingly in her arms while Nathan gently placed a gentle hand on her head. Surprisingly the Queen as Nathan seemed to almost smile warmly towards her. "Dry your eyes,for I promise you dear no one will separate you and your child again. And you will not die here."Nathan reassured as he seemed to almost twirl his goofy side popping out once more. " For I will build you a stage worthy of your death or triumph. The ending is all up to you Leia." He stated with a confident smile before nonchalantly stepping over Amshel,beckoning the Queen Mother to follow him.

Not wishing to be in the room with Amshel any longer Leia quickly followed. Her grip tightening around her child as the two exited the room. Leaving a very angry Amshel in there wake. Walking beside Nathan,Leia peered towards the happy Chevalier who's mere words put Amshel in his place. But she just couldn't understand why. Stopping in the long corridor Leia stood in place her thoughts a jumble as she held onto her child. "Come now honey,let's get you cleaned up now." Nathan sang as Leia's vibrant eyes peered towards him. Stopping Nathan in mid stride as she asked "Why...why did you help me?" With a gentle smile Nathan placed his hand on Leia's head ruffling her already messy raven locks. "Your a mother. And every mother deserves to be with her baby." He stated with a smile as tears of joy leaked from Leia's cheeks. Not everyone here was a heartless monster. And maybe,just maybe she could hold on till the final battle. To finally fulfill her true purpose in life.

"Come on now honey we just have to pick out the perfect dress for the big battle. I have one I just know you'll love!" Nathan sang returning to his flamboyant self which caused Leia to smile warmly towards him surprising the old Chevalier. "Thank you,Nathan." Her words deep down causing something within Nathan to twist and turn. It was true he loved all his beloved Queen's children but this one...Leia was different. Something about her stirred something deep within him. Something he had forgotten so long ago. Gratitude. Swallowing a small lump in his throat Nathan took Leia by the hand leading her down the hall once more before saying "Don't thank me yet honey,the battle hadn't even begun yet." And he was right. The final battle would truly bring everything to a conclusion. Leia only prayed she as strong enough to fight and end this senseless fighting once and for all.
