Something is terribly wrong. Her guards wouldn't just up and leave their Queen behind without even at least checking to see if her surrounding were safe. Everyone, including her were on guard when they first met Kryos. He had an intimidating presence that would make Aria shutter in her place, something that did not happen to the Queen often. As Queen she would never allow anyone or anything bring out any kind of instability, but somehow, someway, Kryos succeeded in doing so. Darian took note of Aria's odd behavior and the effect the King had on the Queen. Therefore, it did not make sense that her personal guard, a good friend even, would just dismiss himself to spend a night with a vampire harlot. Which made Aria believe that Kryos must've had something to do with this, but she didn't get the chance to address this before he took his stance before her, speaking to her in his dark, commanding voice.<br/><br/>Her entire, small body tensed against his, making every fiber in her being to grow stiff. Aria almost forgot to breath at some points until she realized her lungs ached and burned for oxygen, forcing herself to take short and quick inhales and exhales. Each word he spoke hit her heavily as he plainly informed her of her new position and new lifestyle from this day forth. She didn't protest against the fact of their kingdom joining their strengths and become alliances. It was what she hoping for since the beginning, but it was<i>all</i>she was hoping for. As he kept on speaking however, her facial features slowly began to change. Her eyebrows furrowed together, her lips parted open slightly, as her expression showed more defiance and protest to the other part of the agreement he imposed on her. That is something she will not stand.<br/><br/>"I<i>refuse</i>and I<i>will not</i>stand by here as<i>your</i>Queen. I am a Queen on<i>my own</i>and do not need a King to stand by side", she began with a low, stern, and firm voice that came out in a low tone that only he will be able to hear if anyone were around them. "I will happily be an alliance, but that is all we will ever be. My duty as Queen of Serenity is to be<i>only</i>the Queen of Serenity and give all the attention it needs to thrive. I suggest you do the same for your dark home." Aria wanted to remove herself from her current postilion, but Kryos had a firm grip around her wrist and his body pressed against hers didn't allow her to move anywhere as well as he spoke up again. Aria envisioned her hand colliding with his perfect face once again, desperately wanting to make that reality, but her free hand stayed where it was, by her side with a clenched first.<br/><br/>Though she wished she had as Kryos leaned in suddenly and pressed her lips against her kissable, soft ones. Shocked ripped through her, leaving her there frozen in place as she felt nothing, but his cold lips pressed against hers. It wasn't just that either. He stepped closer to her, this time allowing her to feel his hard, throbbing, bulge pressed against upper leg, letting his arousal known to her. It made her stomach churn, knowing how he found her weakening state pleasurable. The slightest touch of his fangs grazing along her lips made her groan out in displeasure. His dominant stance had her trapped as if the predator had caught his prey and had no intentions on setting her free anytime soon. His body against hers felt strong and powerful, almost as if she feel all the power she'll receive once their kingdoms join together. In an odd sense, it made her feel protected, almost untouchable, but her true feelings consumed her completely, making her revert back to how she truly felt about this entire situation.<br/><br/>When he finally pulled away from, she finally began to breath heavily, shaking lightly against him as his lips played with her earlobe, making her heart beat like a drum right against his own chest. "How dare you", she whispered out to him. He had made it clear that these are the terms and there was no changing them. Unfortunately for Aria, he was the victor and whatever he desired, she had to respect that. Though never in her years ruling had she ever thought a ruler would force another ruler to reign with one another after losing a war. Usually the terms dealt with taxes, trades, anything with profit, and land especially. Now Aria was forced to rule with the most vile of them all. The King of The Dark Mist.<br/><br/>Aria had enough and used her free had to place against his hard chest, applying pressure to push him away and gaining her personal space back once again. She only managed to make him take a few steps back, but his grip on her wrist did not give way. "I don't know what kind of<i>sick</i>game you are trying to play here, but I<i>will not</i>be your toy that you can use whenever you are bored", she made clear to him, subtly hinting on the large bulge she felt up against her thigh. "<i>Your Queen or not, I demand the upmost respect.</i>"
