My hands were holding my head as I sat on the edge of my bed. The war isn't over yet I already known the outcome. My kingdom is going to be nothing but ashes before my eyes. My people have all their trust and hope in me.

I began to think of the events that had happened yesterday while on the battle front. He murdered 90% of my army and left the last 10% without limbs. Most of them asked me to kill them now. Hearing them plead to just die, for the pain to go away. The pain in their voices are forever stuck in my head. "Your Majesty, King Kurosaki would like to have a conference with you tomorrow about the war. He'd like to sign a treaty on his terms". Rukia said, that sick fuck always wanted to find some way to torture me. This war was never about him winning. It was about me being in pain. Something he couldn't live without. "Ok, what time would he like for the conference to be?" I asked.

"Noon your majesty" she kept quiet and observed me. "So, what do you think he has up his sleeve?" She finally asked. "Well, I think that he will find a way to humiliate me. Maybe forcing me to ride into battle naked, then again. I just about am with my battle armor". Rukia and I chuckled. She then started to take off my metal shoulder wear that also had my silk white cape attached and moved it to my dresser. "If you wear these for too long your back will give out". She smiled. "I know, it's been three hours since I got back and I have yet to change. I will take a hot bath after dinner". I began to remove my gold and silver bust and belt. I took my hair out of the bun and removed all of my armor. Rukia handed me my robe and I quickly put it on.

"Thank you Rukia". Rukia hugged me tightly. "I believe in you. What ever sick thing he does, remember that you have not much of a choice your majesty. Just know that if he makes you do some ridiculous request, everyone in the kingdom will know its for us. We love our queen and our queen loves us". She gave me a peck on the lips and we stood there holding one another. "Thank you my dearest".

We both jumped at the sound of a knock on the door. Rukia began to pick up my armor from the floor and place it on the mannequin. Our affair was a secret from everyone. "Come in!" I announce. A knight came in and bowed. "We have a problem. A woman from the rival kingdom is here. She wants to see you now. We checked her for weapons, but she seemed to be a slave whom ran away. We are keeping her on check, would you be ok with seeing her?" He asked. "Yes, I'm sure she can tell us a little bit about the enemy".

Soon I was in the throne room. I sat in my chair and looked down at the woman. "What's your name?" I asked. She looked dirty, her whole body had mud thickly covering her. I couldn't even see her skin. "Tatsuki, King Kurosaki doesn't know I am here just yet". She was on her knees. "I figured. Guards! Give her fresh clothes and a bath". They instantly took her to take a shower and clean her up.

After she was cleaned up and given food Tatsuki was capable of telling us her experience in Kurosaki's kingdom. He lived alone in his castle. His kingdom was a barren wasteland. She and a few women were forced to live in the cells in the basement. He tried having children with each of them but something wasn't right. He wanted a woman with lots of strength. If he didn't starve the poor women then he'd have a chance in having a child. He doesn't need a second head in ruling. He is immortal so now I have more pieces to the puzzle. With the conference tomorrow I am going to be one of them. I already know it.

"So, why is it you came to my kingdom? Why didn't you save the other women?" I asked her while she chowed down. She wiped her mouth after the wine spilled and gotten quiet. "The other kingdoms are under attack by him. There was nobody to save. He went on a murder spree when he found out that he wasn't a match for anyone to mate with that he slaved. In the middle of tearing those women apart he got blood in his eye and so blindly began to attack things. I covered myself in mud so he couldn't sense me past by. It also helped keep me hidden in his dead kingdom". I looked over at Rukia, she had a horrific look in her eyes.

"Tomorrow he is coming over to talk about the war. I'd like for you to remain in your room. Everyone will is to remain quiet of Tatsuki's well being. Also I don't want anybody else knowing that she is here. This is to protect her. I am going to bed". I rush out of the room with Rukia by my side. She could barely keep up with me as I stormed off.

"Your majesty! Wait up!" I quickly shut the door as soon as she walked through. "What is it?" She asked. I grabbed her face. "Do not leave this room until I say so while King Kurosaki is here!" Tears rolled down my face. "Actually, I want you to stay with Tatsuki, I will have Riruka place as my hand maiden tomorrow. I don't want that filth even looking at you. He will use you against me and we both know that!" I gave her a kiss. She grabbed my shoulders and continued to kiss me.

We parted and held each other for a long moment. "Anything you need I will do". She whispered, I held her tightly. "Just make sure you stay with Tatsuki until he leaves, do not allow her to leave the room. He is a beast of a man. He will go into a rage at any minute". We laid down on the bed and held each other. She left my chambers once I was fast asleep and went to her own.

I was all alone in a deserted land. The sky was red and the sand was thick with blood. "Today is your last". I could see him. I could see King Kurosaki, he ran his arm through my core. I rest onto his shoulder. "I'm sorry it had to end this way my sweet". He whispered into my ear. I fell into a bitter blackness.

"Your majesty!" Rukia woken me up. I had sweat covering my body. My sheets were damp and my hair was stuck to my face. "We have till noon to get everything ready for today's conference". I nodded and got up. I was in the tub soon. Rukia washed my back and Riruka washed my arms and torso. "Riruka, you will be taking Ruka's place when King Kurosaki gets here. Rukia will reside in Tatsuki's room along with one of the guards to make sure she doesn't leave or make a scene" Riruka nodded.

I was finally in my gold and while uniform. My cleavage was showing and I worn a metal chest plate that had my white cape along with my gold metal hip band that had two long white silk pieces covering my front and back. My hair was placed into two buns and my bangs were pinned behind my ears.

"King Kurosaki has made his arrival!" I gave Rukia a quick kiss before walking out to the conference room. He stood there dressed in his casual black slim turtle neck and slim grey dress pants. He dressed like a mortal to make humans feel at ease around him. It was just some sick joke he had. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows and he sat down across from me.

"Why hello Queen Inoue. You look lovely in your new get up. Metal chest plates were always your thing". He had that devilish grin. I sat down and remained calm. Our food was served to us and we began to ear quietly. He still had his mouth full of chicken when he chose to speak. "So, about that peace treaty. I will sign it on one condition". He swallowed his food and gulped his wine. He began to put his feet on the table while playing with his cloth napkin. "I actually want you to be my slave". I stabbed through the chicken and into the table. My glass plate broke in half. "What did you just say?" I growled. "If you want me to at all not demolish your kingdom yada yada, I need you to be my servant or slave. Whatever you want to call it. Anyways, thanks for the food, I have King business to attend to and such. I will give you till tomorrow's sun set to answer". He vanished in a blink of an eye. Riruka went to pick up his plate when she called me over. Moving away from it.

When I seen his plate I noticed he folded the napkin in a way that looked like Rukia. As I went to touch it, it set to flames and marked up the table with words. "Never trust a stranger", I read aloud. I looked at Riruka with fear in my eyes and began to run to Tatsuki's chambers. He had this fully planned, I should've fucking known! When I rushed into the door I seen them both on the bed talking. I ran up to Rukia and gave her a big hug. "I thought you were dead!" I cried. "What? What happened?" Rukia asked repeatedly. "Kurosaki played me. He said I would have to become his servant in order to save my kingdom". She looked at me with doubt in her eyes. "Are you serious?" She bit her lip in anger.

Rukia sighed. "Well, I think that you should do it if there is no other hope for us". I pulled away from her and looked at Tatsuki. "I have a plan". I stated.
