Your classic princess locked in a castle, trapped, needing to be rescued- except she's the one who put herself there. *** "Honey, look," Felicie sighed, putting a hand on his arm. "I know my parents sent you to, ah," she searched for the right word, "save me." He turned to look at her. Adventure glittered in his dark eyes and flushed his cheeks. "I've come to rescue you and take your hand in marriage." Maybe adventure wasn't the only thing that flushed his face. "I don't even know your name," was all Felicie said. "Sebastien Heloise, at your service, Your Royal Highness." He bowed in an inelegant jerk and moved to take her hand. She tucked both hands behind her back, not wanting his lips to touch her. "Right," Felicie nodded at him slowly, skeptical. "See, that's not going to happen." Sebastien cursed. "The dragon has withheld you here for far too long." He grabbed her shoulders and Felicie held back her cringe. "I know escape seems impossible, but don't fret, Princess." Fretting wasn't where her thoughts were, but frustration. Before Felicie could voice her true thoughts, Sebastien gasped and tugged her behind him. "The beast!" Felicie whirled. "No! Get back!" she shouted. Zephyr froze at the top of the steps, watching them. "It's alright, I'll protect you. Just stay behind me," Sebastien said, wrongfully thinking her call had been directed at himself. He drew his sword.

Alois swallowed, and the pain of what he had to do eclipsed the burned skin of his wrists and the pulsing throbs of his head. He tried to speak, but he only managed to give a weak gasp. "Please, please, please," Lily implored him, kissing his cheeks, his bushy brow, the corner of his dry lips, still keeping her arms in place over his vulnerable head and neck. His shoulders slumped, and he held her limply. He could not ask for a few more seconds to feel her trembling body against his shattered one, because it would not be enough. He could hold her here for a million years and know that at the end of it he would never see her again, and it still would not be enough... ****** Lily's husband Alois has the most gruesome job in the Realm- serving as their insane king's loyal, royal executioner. Ostracized for her foreign origins and his bloody work, the couple are deeply in love and complacent with the service they provide to the kingdom. That is, until the king orders the execution of his queen and demands that Lily and Alois divorce so he can marry her. The couple's resistance only intensifies the king's madness as they are separated and Lily is made the new queen. But there are greater things at risk, as Lily seeks an escape and Alois fights to rescue her- the kingdom is unwell all over, and the king is madly determined to cure it.
