Due to the light that shined through the curtains because of the sunrise, my eyes twitched, before my eyelids slightly rose up, exposing my violet pupils one fourth way.
I was facing the red curtains on my right across the room, that were covering the window so any kind of light would be blocked out. Not like it helped, anyway.
However, I did not feel so happy waking up, because I am still here. The Quasarion Kingdom, inside the massive castle. Which the most evil man in Phantasian history possessed. Raidou. Ever since he destroyed Phantasia and murdered my people, he kept me here by force. Since he was the king, I had no right to go against what he wanted,  and so I had to do everything he said. But this time, he promised me nothing in return. It's not like he kept his word anyway; Back then, I did everything he commanded and requested me to do for him, but that evil creature still murdered my people and took my home away.
After laying awake for a few seconds, or maybe even minutes, I felt two strong arms wrapped around my waist.  Right... Axton was here. His arms were probably there for a while, and I perhaps never noticed. I ever so slowly and gently pushed his arms off of me in order to not wake him up. I then afterwards sat up on the king sized bed, the crimson blankets falling down to my thighs.
I looked down to the purple night dress that I wore for the night—which was handed over to me before I was brought to this room, so I had at least something else to wear besides my armor.
A few moments after observing my surroundings, my head turned to the left, just to see Axton laying shirtless beside me, having his muscles and abs exposed. A disgusting person, were literally the only three words I used, to describe him. He wanted to marry me for my royalty. For how I look. He did not care even one bit about how I was on the inside—although I am a 'wonderful and caring person', is what everyone always told me.
Axel and I both wore a silver ring around our right ring fingers. I could tell that, that silver material was carved from  Phantasia. Not only did they take our world, murdered our folks, but they also took our silver!
I kept my gaze focused on the silver engagement ring around my finger. Truly, I just wished things would go differently. Peacefully. But no, the Quasarions must use violence in order to get what they want. I sighed at the thought, knowing such filthy, disgusting beings existed within this universe, only caring about power.

After not too long had passed, I heard a deep voice murmur: "Marie, you are awake already?", the tired hedgehog beside me questioned.
My eyes widened, turning my head back into his direction, "Yes," is how I responded to his question, in a surprisingly calm, and kind manner. Axton's arms pulled me back down to the bed, holding me close to himself, as he started to snuggle with me  like I am a teddy bear.
As I was rather uncomfortable with this, my pupils quivered, as my eyes slowly shut, feeling his filthy hand go up my leg, to my thigh. My legs shifted close to each, sticking together. A faint whimper had escaped my lips, exposing what I felt: fear.
I couldn't do anything to stop him... As much as I wanted to, I couldn't. Because if I did, horrid consequences may follow.
"Are you scared?", the turquoise eyed hedgehog questioned, a grin growing across his lips as he saw that he got a reaction out of me. His head leaned closer to one of my ears, whispering; "...Do not worry my dear. I will take good, good care of my Black Knight..."  A smirk was heard within his sentence.
Axton afterwards leaned his head down to my neck. He started off by trickling his tongue against it, before he began kissing it ever so smoothly, all the way down to my collarbone, before back up under my chin.
"No... stop...", I rose my left hand up to his head in an attempt to push it away, but my actions were immediately halted. He had grabbed ahold of my wrists.
After a few shifting noises were heard, the male was soon on top of me, his hands sliding across my body.
I grit my teeth, my head tipping down slightly. I felt tears threatening to escape my eyes. "A-Axton...", I whimpered out his name. "I-I...I do not want this...", I warned him again, but he did not stop. In fact, his hands made it all the way under my clothes. I could tell, since I felt a hand rubbing against my stomach.
But before he was able to make another move, a knock was heard on the door.
"Prince Deviljho," a female voice called out. It was probably one of the female maids that worked for the king in the castle. "King Raidou the IIIrd wants to meet both you and Sainte Marie in the room of his throne."
Axton made a very faint growl, lifting his head up from my neck. Staying quiet for a few seconds, he finally spoke, "Alright. We shall be there in less than half an hour."
The hedgehog got off of me, standing up from the bed.
"What a shame.", he referred to the fact that he had to stop touching me all over. The male put on his coat, making his way to the door, having placed his hand on the knob in an instant. "Put your armor on. And don't take too long." Axton glanced back for a moment, before opening the door, and closing it behind after he exited the room.
