While waiting for the marriage ceremony I stayed inside the room the entire week. Except for a maid bringing me food twice a day no one else came to my room.
I took account of everything I had, and layed everything out on the ground.
1 AK47
3 AK47 clips - 90 total bullets
1 Glock
4 Glock magazines - 60 total bullets
1 Combat Knife
1 Stun gernade
1 Frag gernade
1 Lighter
1 Pack of cigarettes - 19 total
After accounting for everything I carefully took apart, and cleaned both guns.
"Im in a very bad situation..."
With only 19 cigarettes left I wont even make it a week...
Since I was summoned I haven't left the castle so I didn't know for sure, but I could guess from the castle, and King & Queen talk that it definitely wasn't an advanced wold.
A week passed slowly.
I was laying on the bed staring up at the ceiling when I heard a knock.
"Come in."
2 maids and 3 guards entered the room.
"Today is the day you are officially acknowledged as our King."
"If you would please get undressed my King."
One of the maids was holding an outfit for me to wear.
"i'd rather get changed myself so if you could leave the room that would be helpful."
"Very well Sir."
Everyone hestiantly left the room.
I quickly changed, and hid my glock & cigarettes inside of my clothes then called everyone back in.
"My King can I move your possessions to your new permanent room for you."
"Okay"
The two guards took my weapons, and left then I followed the maids to the marriage ceremony.
We arrived infront of two huge doors.
"Past these doors your Queen awaits."
"We look forward to serving you my King"
I opened the doors entering the large church like room.
When I walked through the entrance everyones eyes were glued to me.
"He doesnt look that reliable."
"What was the Queen thinking."
"It looks like our country is doomed."
I walked down the aisle ignoring the people whispering to each other. I felt alot of killing intent on me.
"This could be fun."
I arrived next to the princess. She was wearing a white dress. When we first met I didn't really pay attention to her. She has long blonde hair with bright blue eyes she looked just a little younger then me maybe 16 or 17.
As I was looking at her for a while her face got red then she leaned towards me and whispered.
"I promise to love you for eternity."
The ceremony took a long time then we exchanged a kiss at the end. We were now married, I was now officially the King of this country.
After the ceremony I was told the town citizens were all gathered outside of the castle waiting for my speech.
We were escorted to a balcony that overlooked the town. People were crowded around as close to the castle as possible looking up towards me as far back as I could see.
A speech huh... what should I say... from the look of the people in the crowd I could tell they were looking for something to change they knew the situation the kingdom was in.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
I was standing on the balcony looking down at the crowd thinking. Wasn't there some famous speeches in my previous world I could just copy... I really should of paid more attention...
"Kill your self now!"
I was thinking of what to say when I heard someone yell. I looked towards the voice to see someone dressed up as a guard holding Louise by the neck with one hand, and pointing a dagger towards her neck with the other hand.
"If you kill yourself now I will spare the Queens life!"
I looked around the balcony the rest of the guards, and maids that were near us were in shock. Louise who had a dagger pointed towards her neck didn't look panicked she was just staring into my eyes.
I let out a sigh... I really need a smoke I only had one in a week im really annoyed right now.
"Very well."
The man let out a smile.
"Good choice I see you are a man after all."
In one motion I reached for my pistol that was inside my clothes and pulled it out.
Bang
Everyone looked confused.
After shooting the man in the arm that was holding the dagger he dropped it, and staggered back. I ran up to him grabbed his neck with my right hand then kicked down with full force on his knee.
Crack
A snapping sound could be heard looks like I broke his leg then I slammed him down towards the ground by his neck.
"Really he passed out already..."
"Do we have a place to contain him in the castle?"
One of the guards answered back saying they had a prison in the basement of the castle.
"Good take him there don't kill him though."
"But King he tried to kill you and the Queen!"
Man these guards are really stupid.
"Just take him to a cell."
"Yes King!"
I looked back towards the crowd they looked confused it seems they didn't understand what just happened.
"Elijah I knew I could trust you with this country."
I was confused for a second Louise called me by my name... Now that I thought about it I never told her my name.
I thought about it for a little then let it go. Guess I still have to make a speech.
"Well then... it looks like there will be war my citizens, but rejoice this is a great opportunity from here on out things are going to get fun. Things are going to change if its for the better or worse it is up to your effort."
I wonder if it was a good speech.
With that I left the balcony it was finally night it was a long day. Me and Louise were escorted to our room. The room was triple the size of the room that I was in the past week I guess this is the master bedroom huh. I looked around the room in the middle of it was a huge bed it looked bigger then a King size. In the corner of the room I found my things laid out on a table its a good thing they didn't forget anything.
I was checking over my things as Louise was talking to the maid then entered the room.
"Now all thats left is our first night."
I turned around to look at Louise her dress was on the floor, and she was under the covers of the bed.
I guess I forgot about this was apart of a marriage... I took my shirt off, and got into the bed with her.
Louise was staring at me as I got into the bed.
"A-All those scars are you alright?"
I examined my body. I didn't see anything abnormal I had bullet wounds, and scars scattered over my body. Wasn't this normal I thought at least the people I knew were similar.
She reached her hand out putting it over my left arm.
"Is this a brand?"
She thought my tattoo was a brand. I guess there aren't tattoos in this world, or mine was just different to what she has seen It seems. I thought about it for little.
"I guess you could call it a brand."
"Are you free now?"
Was I free? I haven't thought about that for a long time. I was forced into being a soldier at a young age during those early times I probably thought alot about being free, but I don't remember thinking about it since then.
"Maybe."
A few minutes of silence passed then it looks like she resolved something inside of her.
"I-Im ready Elijah please be gentle its my first time."
I hesitated for a moment. It wasn't my first time, but I never liked sex with a virgin they would end up being too clingy to me the next day. The older women in my group would just come, and go whenever they wanted just using me to release their stress it was alot easier...
"Alright."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was thrown into a pitch black room with a dirt floor I couldn't see anything.
I dont know how much time passed. A door opened then another boy was thrown into the room he looked a few years older then I heard a voice.
"Whoever comes out alive can become my soldier good luck boys."
He held up a dull rusted knife showing it to us then threw it into the room. The door was shut then everything went back to being black.
"..."
How did I end up in this situation I thought... I tried to remember something, but I couldn't then I heard something moving closer to move.
"Please die for me!"
The boy shouted then I felt a pain in my stomach. My mind went blank.
The next thing I knew the door opended up again.
"Very good boy!"
"..."
"I expect great things from you."
"..."
"Hmm I guess im being impolite I haven't introduced myself my name is Calvin. Your name will be Elijah boy. Congratulations on becoming my soldier!"
"Y-Yes Sir."
"Very good here have a reward."
Calvin put a cigarette in my mouth then lighted it. I took a puff of the cigarette then started coughing.
"HaHaHa don't worry you will get used to it soon."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I couldn't move my arm. I opened my eyes to see Louise laying on my arm I looked around it seems it's still night.
"That was a annoying dream."
Then I went back to sleep.
