Chapter 2

(James is above ^)

James' POV

I stared out the window of the carriage,trying not hear the conversation my father and the Duchess,that sat across from him.I was upset with him,but I had to be polite in front of the Duchess, as her husband was a very powerful man.Why did I have to marry?At the moment,they were discussing that I should marry her daughter!Her daughter is meant to very...spoilt.While I was lost in my thoughts,I could see a group of men surrounding something.I saw a flash of red,snapping me to attention,as red was the royal colours.Surely those men would not be idiotic enough to tease Royalty?What I saw shocked me even more.A women stood in the middle of them,but no ordinary woman.The first thing I saw was her glowing red hair,whipping around her face.I had never seen hair that colour before!It was vibrant and shiny,cascading down her back.As my eyes moved from her hair,I saw her lips were painted the same shade.It was unbelievable what she was wearing.She had had strange,black material covering only a small bit of her large breasts,that fitted her like a glove,until it met her hips,where it flared out.She had shiny black skin tight trousers on,leaving nothing to the imagination.Her shoes were strange too.They were black as well, but were a good few inches off the ground,how could she even walk in them?!She stared at the man in front of her,narrowing her eyes as he went to touch her hair."Dear God..",I realised what I had said just a second too late"James',do not take the lord's name in vain!",my father glared at me.The driver had stopped to watch this intriguing scene before us,but Father didn't seem to notice."Sorry Father,but look!",I said as I turned back to the scene again."Oh my..",the Duchess said as she what was going on."What is the matter,may I ask?",my Father asked beside me."Quickly Mr.Kingston!,look out the window",The Duchess spoke.The red haired woman seemed beautiful from what I could from the strange thing that covered her eyes,but her facial features were screwed up in annoyance.As the man reached for her,she caught his hand,and in less than a second,he was on the ground.My eyes widened in shock.How had she managed to take down such a huge man?She placed her foot on his back,and began cracking each finger,then smashed her foot into his skull.As if sensing my gaze,she looked up,and took off the thing over her eyes.
