Chapter 66: Chapter 66

"What type of weapon do you have?" King Meelzib firmly asked Sharaina.

"I have two swords your majesty." Sharaina answered.

"That's good." King Meelzib said. He turned to a servant and said. "Give her two sticks and bring me one." King Meelzib turned to Sharaina again. "We are going to have a little sparring match. I want to see how you handle fighting with two swords."

Two servants got onto the training stage. One bowed down and lifted a stick to King Meelzib. The other gave Sharaina her two sticks. Sharaina looked at both of them and she saw that they were of the same length. She quickly broke one and tossed the unwanted piece aside. King Meelzib raised his eye brow at this.

"Why have you done that?" He asked her.

"My swords aren't of the same length your majesty. I must get used to this fact in battle." Sharaina nervously answered.

'Smart one, isn't she?' He thought to himself. "Very well then. Get ready." He ordered her.

Commander Sevilon and commander Ouman looked on with anticipation. This was going to be their first time seeing the future queen in action. They were eager to see why she is worthy of the great golden throne of Dark Star.

Two shirtless warriors climbed up a long flight of stairs. At the very top was a gigantic golden bell hang. The warriors each punched the bell and King Meelzib charged at Sharaina at the sound of it. He slashed his stick at her and she ducked and slid away from him.

King Meelzib smirked and attacked her again. He narrowly hit her when she dodged him again. King Meelzib went at her and she blocked his attacks with her sticks. The clacking sound of the sticks was all that could be heard.

King Meelzib was impressed with how she was able to avoid getting hit. This made him curious as to whether she could take a hit. He swung his stick with a lot of force and it broke Sharaina's stick and sent her flying off the stage.

Sharaina moaned in pain as she struggled to get up. Her hands were hurting. She plucked out the splinters and whimpered to herself. King Meelzib looked on at her with an emotionless face. When she picked out all the splinters in her hands, Sharaina got up and waved her hands up and down in an attempt to make them stop hurting. She even blew on them.

"I am going to need two more sticks your majesty." She said.

"You still want to spar with me despite getting hurt?" He asked her.

"I have not heard you say that we are done my King." Sharaina answered.

"You would still continue even if your hands fall off?" He asked her again.

"I am a soldier and your warrior. My duty is to carry out orders your majesty." Sharaina answered.

King Meelzib smirked. "What a bold and brave little girl you are." King Meelzib was impressed. Not only he, but all of the Enchanted Seven as well. "Give her two more sticks." He ordered a servant.

When Sharaina was back and ready on the training stage, King Meelzib approached her slowly. He tried to hit her from the back but she blocked it. He moved to the front and she blocked his attack again.

King Meelzib and Sharaina hit their sticks against each other. Each skillfully ducking and charging at each other. King Meelzib deliberately gave her an opening. Seeing that he is the King of Dark Star, Sharaina couldn't bring herself to strike him. This angered King Meelzib and he grabbed her by her neck and choke slammed her hard to the ground. Sharaina coughed out blood and Ouman got up at that.

Sharaina felt excruciating pain at the back of her head and back. The blow made her eyes black out momentarily. She turned to her side and tried to get up but she fell back down. Her ears were ringing and her vision was hazy. King Meelzib glared at her the whole time. He threw his stick at an unsuspecting servant who fell down with the hit. Sharaina felt his shadow fall upon her as he approached her. King Meelzib knelt down in front of her and she looked at him through her hair - the blood on her lips staining it.

"This is rule number one; strike down your opponent with no hesitation. The fact that you held back because I am your king is weakness and weakness disgusts me." He harshly said to her and got up. "I'll see you in the evening for your next training session." He said and a servant helped him put on his royal robe. He took one last look at Sharaina and left.

Sharaina slowly got up and held her pounding head. She felt as though the whole world was spinning. She staggered off the stage and made her way to an outdoor shower were she sat down and let the water pour on her.

She didn't mind that she was getting soaked to the bone in her black combat clothes. The cold water was what her aching head needed. Sevilon got up, gestured to Ouman and they promptly left.

"What did you think of her?" Commander Ouman asked Sevilon.

"She is a gifted warrior. Her evasion of attacks is top notch. However she needs to work on attacking. She is too hesitant." Commander Sevilon gave his opinion.

"Yes I observed that too. However she has a lot of room to improve."

Naraygeous got out of a carriage with Lalina. He felt so nervous to be at the castle. Lalina insisted on him meeting King Meelzib and it completely freaked him out. After a drunken one night stand with her, Naraygeous noticed that Lalina had become extra possessive of him.

Naraygeous felt trapped and foolish. Hadn't he drunk so much after Sharaina left with Light, he wouldn't have been stuck in that situation. Lalina basically forced him to go with her to the castle.

He tried to tell her no but all efforts failed when she burst out crying.

Lalina held Naraygeous's hand as she led him into the castle. She looked so pretty in her red dress with red sparkly heels. The more he looked at her, the more he got tempted to sleep with her again.

Keep it together Naraygeous. You don't want to do it again with her. He internally told himself.

Lalina was told that King Meelzib was on a terrace near the training grounds. When she and Naraygeous got there, they found King Meelzib talking to Lavila.

Lavila sweetly hugged Lalina and when she got a glimpse of Naraygeous she smiled broadly at him. She was smitten by his charming looks and she lustfully eyed him. Naraygeous bowed to her and King Meelzib whose attention was on Sharaina who was still soaking herself under the shower.

"Lalina, who is this gentleman you have brought with you?" Lavila asked Lalina and twisted her hair with her finger flirtatiously.

"He is my boyfriend." Lalina quickly answered and Naraygeous looked at her bedazzled.

'Okay this crazy chick needs to slow down. She has just made things difficult for me to get away from her now.' Naraygeous panicked.

At the mention of boyfriend, King Meelzib abruptly turned away from Sharaina. "He is your boyfriend?" He asked Lalina.

"Yes, he is my King." Lalina mirthfully answered with a bubbly chuckle. "We just started dating."

"When are you going to marry her?" King Meelzib firmly asked Naraygeous with a scowl.

'Now it has gone into marriage talks?' Naraygeous cleared his throat. "Um well..." He didn't know what to say.

Lalina held his arm. "We haven't yet talked about that my King but I'll let you know as soon as we decide." Lalina answered much to Naraygeous's relief.

Naraygeous looked over the terrace and got a glimpse of Sharaina walking away from the shower. She was so soaking wet that her hard nipples showed through her black vest. What puzzled him more was her hair color. He wondered why she would decide to dye her beautiful golden hair black. Sharaina didn't take notice of him staring and she made her way out of the training grounds.

Lalina saw that Naraygeous was distracted so she looked over in order to see what caught his attention. She saw nobody and frowned at him. Lalina said good bye to King Meelzib and Lavila and led Naraygeous downstairs. Naraygeous wondered what else she was going to subject him to. She stopped at a door and opened it. Naraygeous was horrified to see that it was a bedroom.

Oh no, temptations. Naraygeous swallowed hard. "Lalina we need to talk." He said to her.

Lalina smiled at him and got into the bathroom. "Talk about what baby?" She asked him from behind the door.

"Come out here so that we can talk properly." Naraygeous said to her.

The door swung open and Lalina held her waist as Naraygeous looked at her only in her red lacy lingerie. She caressed her leg in lace thigh socks.

Naraygeous immediately knew that he was defeated.

Lalina seductively drew closer to him; swaying her hips from side to side. She wrapped her arms around his neck.

"What do you want us to talk about?" She asked him but he said nothing. Lalina grinned and slapped his hands on her soft ass so hard that he felt the vibrations as it bounced in his palms.

Naraygeous couldn't control himself any longer and he kissed her. Lalina jumped up and he carried her in his arms by her ass and she wrapped her legs around him.

Naraygeous laid Lalina on the bed and she moaned softly when she felt his hardness. Naraygeous unclipped bra and tore it off of her. Lalina peeled his shirt off and curled her back as she felt him kissing her belly. She felt him make his way down and grabbed onto the duvet as he went down on her.

Lalina moaned louder as his tongue drove her crazy. Naraygeous shot his head up and looked down at her panting for more. He positioned himself between her legs and made his way into her with a groan.

Naraygeous started slow but his thrusts became rapid and rough. The bed rocked underneath them as he slammed his way into Lalina. The both of them were moaning and panting.

He turned her over to her side and made his way in from the back. Her breasts bounced up and down as she felt him. Lalina let out a scream when Naraygeous finally came. She turned to face him and kissed him deeply while he kept his hand on her ass.

"Lalina seems to have found a nice boy for herself." Lavila said to King Meelzib but he didn't respond. "Wouldn't it be great if you found a nice girl and married her?" Lavila asked him and he looked at her sharply. "I mean you are King now therefore you need an heir. Surely our heir cannot be born from a prostitute or concubine."

"Who told you that I need an heir mother?" King Meelzib asked her.

"Is it so wrong for me to want a grandchild from you and a decent girl?"

"I don't need an heir because I will be King forever." King Meelzib coldly answered her. "You know about how I feel when it comes to marriage. It is pointless and a nuisance. I am done with this conversation. Leave me at once. I need space." He rudely admonished.

Lavila grumbled to herself as she walked down the stairs. A servant approached her and told her that her friends had arrived. She suddenly felt delighted and immediately went to meet them. They all stood up and bowed upon seeing her. Amongst the women were Nami, Stariss and Yolin's mother. Together were five excluding Lavila.

Lavila smiled at them widely. She always loved it when her elite and rich friends paid her visits. She sat down gracefully in her beautiful gown. Her friends complimented her and her jewelry. Lavila chuckled and extended her hand for them to admire her ring.

"Sariba, your husband's company designed this ring isn't it?" Lavila asked Yolin's mother.

"Oh yes it did. It looks even beautiful on you. I'm told that it is one of a kind." Sariba affirmed.

Lavila looked over to Stariss. "How are you dear?" She greeted her.

"I am alright queen mother." Stariss answered respectfully.

Lavila turned to Nami. "Seeing your daughter has reminded me of my heartache." Lavila frowned.

"What is the matter?" Nami got concerned.

"Meelzib is still refusing to marry. I don't know what to do." Lavila sighed.

Nami was over joyed to hear this. "Why don't you find him a wife and introduce her to him. I'm sure that when he sees her beauty, he will not refuse. Plus you are his mother, I don't think he will be able to keep denying your request."

"Meelzib is a stubborn man." Lavila sighed.

She looked at Stariss and acknowledged that she was in deed a pretty girl. She examined her slim body all the way to her beautiful long legs.

"Nami, would you offer your daughter to my son as a wife?" Lavila asked Nami and the other women immediately felt jealous. Stariss felt so excited that she could barely hide it.

"Oh no my queen. Please forgive me but Stariss is already engaged." Nami humbly declined and Stariss frowned at her.

"Oh I see. That's unfortunate." Lavila uttered, disappointed.

"Do not despair queen mother for there's another girl I can recommend to you." Nami said and Stariss raised her eyebrow. "As a matter of fact you have already met her. She is the one training with King Meelzib."

"What? The Sharaina girl?" Lavila tilted her head, stunned.

Stariss looked at her mother in disbelief. She was intrigued that Nami hated Sharaina so much that she gave up the chance of having Stariss as queen for the sake of getting Sharaina out of Light's life.

If King Meelzib decided to marry Sharaina, Light would be forced to let go of her and he would give up on her forever. This was a wicked plan and Stariss never expected that Nami would go that far. She looked at her trying her best to hide her shock.

"I agree that she is a beautiful girl but is she worthy of my son?" Lavila asked Nami, unsure.

"I happen to know this girl very well. She is my neighbor. Not only is she a gifted warrior, she comes from a good home and she is a sweet girl. She will make an ideal queen for his majesty, King Meelzib." Nami enticed Lavila and she was falling for it.

Lavila grinned. "Nami thank you so much. You have returned my peace to me. Perhaps my son will start to like her sooner than we think due to the amount of time he will have to spend with her."
