" I need to see the king NOW ", she hissed in annoyance. The guards weren't letting her in, they were blocking her way.
" I'm sorry princess, but the king gave an order to not let anyone in ", one of the guards stated firmly.
" Let me in. Now!"
" Princess, pleas—", she took them off guard, and rushed into the room forcibly.
Her eyes landed at his figure, seated on his chair, with his eyes closed.
The guards had followed her into the room, trying to get her out.
" Princess, you have to leave. The—"
" Leave us ", Damon ordered, his eyes remaining closed.
The guards bowed and left immediately.
" What do you think you are doing? ", She snapped angrily.
He gave out no reaction.
Her patience waned, "You will not have me humiliated this way. I will not be your mistress"
His eyes snapped open. His cold gaze met hers. With the way she was breathing heavily, he could tell she was really infuriated.
" You do not have a choice here ", he said coldly.
Sabrina scoffed, " What do you even think you are doing? Making me your mistress?",she fired.
He said nothing, her anger flared. She started towards him, enraged.
"This is not revenge. This is cruelty. I am to be a Queen. The Queen of my kingdom. Not your mistress. This is unfair.", she hates as her voice cracked at the edge. It was all just too much for her to take in. Too much
" You've taken away things that matter to me, you can't take this too. …. Please",she pleaded.
" Get out Sabrina.", He growled.
Her heart sank, is he really doing this?
" What can I do? I'll do anything, just please, don't make me a mistress. Badrith is my home. Please.", she pleaded further, desperate.
She can't lose her home forever, being his mistress meant forfeiting her title and right to the throne of Badrith. She is going to lose everything.
" Get out",
She almost flinched at the coldness of his voice.
"Why are you doing this? You have taken control in Badrith, you rule now. My father is nothing but a puppet who has no choice but to obey every one of your commands. You humiliated us, you've taken everything. Are those not enough? You plan on going this far?", She stated.
" You do not really want to know how far I will go to destroy you and your father Sabrina", He declared.
" You think my father is a monster. You are worse than him"
His lips thinned, he chuckled bitterly," All thanks to him "
"You think it will be over after doing this?".
" No, This is just the beginning",
Her pulse raced, this man is up to no good, he will stop at nothing to destroy her and her father completely.
" You will regret this." She vowed.
She shot him a last venomous glare, then spun on her heels and walked out of his chambers.
Immediately she got out, she turned swiftly to a confined empty hallway and let out the tears she had been holding.
For the second time she was taken hostage, she cried bitterly.

" Do you think my lady will be fine? ", Nina's worried voice echoed through the empty room. All the maids had left after completely moving the princess' things to her new quarters. Nina and lady Harriet stayed behind, waiting for the princess .
"She will.",
Nina doubted it, but she had to stay positive.
" I'm worried, Lady Harriet. "
The middle aged woman sighed, she was worried too. What if the princess went ahead and provoked him? It won't be good.
" The princess will be fine, Nina. She will be"
Nina boobed her head, trying to stay positive. The princess was trained well to be a royalty, she can get through anything.
The door creaked open loudly, the princess came through the door.
" My lady", Nina exclaimed in relief.
" Princess", lady Harriet said, a subtle streak of relief laced her voice.
Sabrina flashed them a tight-lipped smile which came out wobbly.
"I told you. He won't change his mind", lady Harriet stated, she could not help but still feel that pang of disappointment.
She had hoped for change, maybe he could have a change of mind.
"What next?",
" You will have to move to the mistress' lodge " Lady Harriet replied.
Sabrina bobbed her head," I know that already. I mean so I will have to serve the king now? Right?"
Lady Harriet nodded.
"Can nothing really be done to change his mind?" Nina asked.
" He is the king Nina"
Sabrina chuckled bitterly, her gaze filled with anger and resentment.
" Yes, that's why he goes around taking women as he pleases, forcing them into his bed, even if they're a princess and an heir."
"Don't say that. He is not a bad person ", Lady Harriet cautioned.
"Yes, my father tortured him, made his life hell and forced him to become a tyrannical lecher! How could I forget such a crucial detail, Lady Harriet?" Sabrina fired angrily, sarcasm dripping in every of her wordings.
"You know what? I think you should stop making excuses for every monstrous act he does",
"You are angry" Lady Harriet stated.
"You can not even imagine. My life is being snatched away from me, I am being humiliated in the worst way ever, and my kingdom is in no way excluded. You can't imagine how I feel. I can't even save myself how can I save my kingdom"
" My lady ", Nina called, closed to tears.
Sabrina gulped, realising how terrific she was acting.
" Everything will be fine", Nina assured.
Sabrina shook her head ," I don't think so Nina. I really don't think so"
" You have to get to your chambers now. You need to be dressed ", Lady Harriet said.
Sabrina sighed helplessly, her becoming his mistress won't be good. There will be a shift of power and her father might be forced to give up the throne to another royal family. She isn't even suitable for the throne any more.
The king has made his choice, he has dishonoured her name and the throne of Badrith. Now she has no choice but to make her own move. She has to make her choice too, and one thing she is so sure about is wanting to get away from him.
To give him a taste of his own medicine.
She will make him regret everything he has done to her. Her every pain, humiliation and every tears.
She will get her revenge.
" Let's go ", she said and started towards the door.
