"I am bored, my Queen. So, entertain me." ~ * ~ Young Prince Lucien of Aesna is more suited for the countryside than the royal palace of fatal mind games and seasonal assassinations. Despite being shunned for being born to a palace maid, Lucien practices utmost loyalty as a soldier, leading battles for his country. That's until one day, he's captured and tortured as hostage, then used as a bargaining chip for Aesna's enemies to get back a valuable piece of land. But there is no bargain- Lucien, almost promptly, is given up by his own country. Years later a bloody coup breaks out between the two princes of Aesna, leaving all men of royal blood dead or crippled. With two neighboring countries waiting to pounce on the destabilized nation, the royal officials get back Prince Lucien in exchange for the land he was given up for. They welcome the prince as king, remembering the soft-hearted and naïve boy and ready to easily control him as puppet king with bribes, flattery and threats. But the man they put on the throne, is more madman than king, more beast than human, heralding another bloodbath in Aesna. ~ * ~ The smell of the wine on his breath was hot on her face. “…You yourself know the answer, sire.” Lucien’s eyes slipped from her eyes, to her lips. “Oh, do I?” he growled. * “Are you done, sire? Or do you order me to love you?”
“I am bored, my Queen. So, entertain me.”

Ashley: I enjoyed the story. It was a short one so the fast pace fit. I think something should be put in to show a time jump between paragraphs like a "****" just to make it easier to follow when we skip to the next day week or month. Over all a good read.
