Learning prince Rhys

RHYS' POV

"Give your mindset a change, then we'll talk."

I was in my room, a girl I just fucked passed out on my bed. A glass of wine in my hand as it swirls to the edges while the moonlit shine shimmers across the edges. I can't see above the railing, because the empty sky makes me remember the words of hers again and again.

Give my mindset a change...?

I've been retrospecting.

I've been a bad man, a pugilist maniac who believed women were pawns in a man's life.

When father died last year and encouraged me to take over the kingdom, I could see the many faces of women being hunted by men.

My minister tells me something which shook me to the core.

Father allowed other statesman to take advantage of their own queen. My mother was thrown around by these men in beds, my father accepted that status to maintain for her.

Unfortunately, mother took her own life and stood as an example to other women to never let a man touch her without her permission.

Unfortunately, if those women escaped death... The men near her would torture her for the rest of her life. I didn't want to think about it.

As an year passed, i changed the rules pragmatically. In this progressing generation, I as a King must allow both the sexes to rise to their freedom.

What my father did was unforgivable... but growing up in his shadows, I was helpless myself too. I was brainwashed constantly ever since I was born.

"Soon, the vices shall fall..." I kept saying to myself. I must do something with my Kingdom.

That's why, I was adamant on making Ravine as my queen.

For personal reasons too. I've never been so yearning to any other woman in my life. I couldn't hold myself back when I faced her for the first time.

Somehow, I didn't feel guilty for all the ugly scars I gave to her in the past.

But her eyes...

They looked at me like I was a monster.

I then began to look up information about this hot CEO boyfriend of hers.

He was 21? She's older than him.

How did the world accept that age gap?

Then I realized again, the world was progressing without me.

However, I wanted to marry Ravine. I want her to be an example of power to the women who are traumatized in my state. I want to encourage them.

I also want to apologize with my heartfelt, genuine apologies. What I did to her was unforgivable. She was so naive and gullible when she was young. I can't say the same now, since she's grown into a businesswoman in the most corrupt industry on earth. Not to mind, she's on the top of every list in the industry.

Ravine... Ravine... Ravine...

Leave my mind, woman.

Let me rule my state in peace...

The woman in my bed begins to stir herself awake.

"Y-your majesty."

"Get lost." Saying, I throw a few coins of gold as token for entertaining me.

I sigh again.

I couldn't change myself, right?

Even after retrospecting so much with myself, I still remain as an illogical pugilist who fights for blood and status of my state's unrivaled military power.

My supply demands are high, coming with a high cost too. But I've risked way too many lives too.

I realized, our land is slowly decreasing as the borders are being expanded by the farmers all around the north. If we could, we could change the military into farming man power too.

It would be profiting, rotational and much advantageous than accept the news of deaths all over for the sake of other royals of the country.

I would hate to say it, but i want to live a sedentary life from now on. No wars, no cries heard from the mothers who lost their children to war... no exploitation of the power of rebirth.

Women will be allowed to birth girls too.

And this shall be my last and final decision before I enter priesthood.

RAVINE'S POV

As I dashed off from the training grounds, I see no one following me. I take it as a golden opportunity and never looking back, I start running all around the building.

My limping legs come to a half when a daring dog of the King stands in the middle.

I ought to run away from him too, he was incredibly tall on top of that.

"Running away from me, princess?" As I recognised that voice, I turn around slowly and find Aaron there. He drops the spear and the helmet as I sprint towards him in my heels.

I almost crash into him, he holds me up firmly.

"Oh, I'm glad you're here!"

"Not just me." Saying, he shows me his entire crew including Ms. Smyers.

I felt like I was shedding tears of happiness now, instead of the pain in my heart.

"I'm glad... I'm so glad..."

"Love, as long as I'm here, there is no one who will harm you. Let me handle this, my way." He says, smirking at me.

I look at Ms. Smyers who nods at me while smiling. I knew i was safe and they had a plan.

"Let's find you your room." Says my man.

Although, as soon as I get into the room, I pull the 'guard dog of the king' inside too.

"What are you doing princess? Someone will see us!" He whisper yells at me.

"As if I fucking care."

In under a minute, my eyes were rolling to the back of my head as he pound me with a little extra love than usual. His mighty hand covered my mouth preventing my moans from flying out and alerting the other regular guards.

"You like it when I do you this dirty, huh? My little slut." He teases me, because I couldn't answer him at all.

"Fucking slut, my sexy fucking slut." Each word was accompanied with a thrust that made my whole body shudder with pleasure.

Soon, the room was filled with the scent of our sex and he dresses up soon.

"Just press on this thrice, and I'll come back to your in a second." Says he. As he held the doorknob in his hand, I press the little, thumb sized gadget thrice. Something vibrates in his pocket as he turns around.

"Ravine..." he calls me sweetly.

"Don't go..." I beg him. Today was like when we infiltrated John Skiez a few days ago again.

Memories keep flushing inside me and they weren't under my control.

He strides back to me, holding my face between his palms and taking a long kiss from me. I stare at his glistening lips, back into his chocolate brown, warm and fuzzy eyes, "I'll come back to you. It's only about time he changes his mind for good." He says.

I must believe in my lover.

After all, he will never sway astray of his words.
