The Kings New Mistress (Hellssina Clan Short Story's Book 2)

The day was overcast as the Hellssina King walked in his gardens with Commander Lola who was talking to her king about the new Lycians and Vampires that had joined the ranks of the king's army. Hells who was the Hellssina king was not paying much attention as he new his Commander was good at her job. He stopped, turned and faced Commander Lola.

“I take it the suggestions you have been saying to me are good to implement?”

“Yes Sire they are”

"Then put them into practice. I trust your judgment and you know if anything goes wrong you will be explaining to me why it went wrong."

“Yes Sire I understand”

“Good that's settled then. Is there anything else?”

“Yes Sire there is but you may not like it”

Hells started to walk again until he came over to a bench and sat down.

"Spit it out, Commander"

“You need a mistress”

“Why do I need a Mistress for when I have a Queen?”

“The Queen is away on duties around the kingdom and your grumpy”

Hells laughed and then looked again at Commander Lola

"I see you're not kidding"

“No Sire I am not kidding”

“I will talk to the Queen about it when she returns”

“I have been instructed to tell you that if you said that you are to go and see her lady in waiting”

“I have to go and see her?”

“Yes Sire the Queens orders”

"Well come on then let's go and see her since the Queen said so"

“I have the new Lycians and Vampires to look after Sire”

“I am sure your officers can deal with that Commander. This was your suggestion so you will come along”

“As you wish Sire”

With that, the king walked off to the Queens Royal apartments which were next to his. He had made them for her when she had asked and since she was Co-Ruler and he loved his Queen he did not object. As they entered the palace Commander Lola shouted to one of her guards and gave him detailed instructions she wanted to be carried out. Once they were given he ran off to see to his duties.

“Will he remember all of the orders?”

“Yes Sire he will as I train my messengers to remember a lot of information”

“There fighting skills?”

“Just as good as anyone else in the army but not as perfected and honed as I would like. They need to learn to memorize information more”

As they walked through the palace the kings personal guard joined him. The king never went anywhere without his guards. He was perfectly safe but like the head of his guards had said. One day you will think your safe but that is the day you will be dead. The king had not argued on this point and had let the commander of his personal guards have his way. Sometimes it was better to just let his minions have their way. He did remind them from time to time who was King. He also remembered the last challenge and smiled. Not much of a fight but he had heard that Rodger had come on well and he was not losing so badly in the training fights. The first few weeks had been brutal for him and his mate as since they had a full true blood bond. They both felt the same pain each other got. The people had never seen a true bonding until that day. People still wanted the bond but very few wanted the bond like Rodger and his bride had got. He was pleased that things had gone well for them both and he was sure that Rodger had learned his lesson. Lady Becky who was now the palace dressmaker to a lot of the lower to middle-class Lady's of the clan was always busy. He had heard that she was very happy that she had not come to be a personal girl to the king and also happy that she was not made to serve in the army barracks as one of the men's whores. As the king had explained that day that was for men and women who wanted to do that line of work. What he would have done if things had gone differently was something he did not want to think about but found he was thinking about it some of the time. They arrived at the Queen's chambers and Commander Lola knocked on the door and a few moments later Lady Jessica the Queens Lady in waiting opened the door.

“Commander Lola, Sire, How may I help you”

“The king wanted confirmation that he is allowed a mistress”

"One moment please and I will get the Queen's letter for you Sire"

The door closed and after a few moments's opened again and Lady Jessica handed a letter to the king

"The Queen left you this and said you're to follow the instructions in the letter with her blessing and your not to argue about them"

“I see, thank you very much Lady Jessica”

“Your welcome Sire. Is there anything else I can do for you?”

“The king grinned and chuckled and Lady Jessica blushed”

“Sorry Sire you know I am not allowed unless the Queen gives permission”

“I know but I do like teasing you Lady Jessica”

With that Lady, Jessica curtsied and then closed the door.

“Why don't you ever go into the Queens rooms when she is not there?”

"You know why Commander Lola, they are her rooms and I won't violate her privacy"

“Your the King”

“She is my Queen”

The king walked into his chambers which were plain and simple. Commander Lola could never work out why he had such plain rooms. The king walked over to his reading desk and opened the letter and read it and frowned and then crumpled it up and then started to pace across the floor.

“Sire?”

“You would never believe me if I told you. Just read the letter”

Commander Lola picked up the crumpled letter and read it and then looked at the king and laughed. The king stopped pacing and glared at her.

“What do you find so funny”

“The Queen agrees with me that you need a mistress”

“Did you read the part that she has also selected out who will become my mistress with her blessing”

"I did Sire and I found it quite funny, to be honest"

“I am sure you have duties to attend to Commander.”

“At once Sire”

Commander Lola turned and left laughing. The king went back to pacing the floor then changed into his Lycian form and went off to the training grounds his personal guards used. They were all Lycians Not because the king liked it that way just that no one but a Lycian had passed the entrance test into his personal guard. He slammed open the doors of the palace as he walked to the training grounds and everyone stepped out of his way bowing or making a curtsy. Everyone knew that when the king was mad or angry to make sure they did the proper respect. The king finally got to the training grounds and he saw Lady Jessica standing in his way.

“Move”

“I am sorry Sire but I have orders from the Queen to give you”

“I don't care”

"I know Sire but you will be given them anyway"

Lady Jessica handed the king another note and as he read it he growled, looked at Lady Jessica and the threw his arms into the air and stormed back to his rooms and sat down at his writing desk and began to write his Queen a letter when a knock came to the door and in walked Lady Jessica.

“What do you want”

"Your guests will be arriving shortly Sire and I have been instructed to make sure you're presentable"

“Well carry them out then but I am writing a letter to your Queen”

Lady Jessica walked over to the king's bathroom and started to run a bath. She saw the kings personal guards and smiled. Once the bath was ready she walked over to the king and stood in front of him.

“Your bath is ready Sire”

“It can wait”

Lady Jessica leaned forward and gently but firmly took the pen and paper from the king and tore it up and then threw it into the fire”

"What do you think you're doing Lady Jessica?"

“My orders Sire”

“The Queen is bold to make you do that”

“She just knows you very well Sire”

Lady Jessica turned to the king's personal guards and smiled

"You're to remove your guards from the room Sire"

“Not going to happen”

“As you wish but then you don't get me”

The king blinked and then looked at Lady Jessica and then at his guards.

"I don't have permission to have you the Queen is not here and under clan law, you can refuse"

“That is correct the Queen is not here and I can ignore certain clan laws if I so wish. So you can either tell your guards to leave or I will”

Hells turned to the commander of his personal guards and spoke with him. All the guards saluted and left.

“There they are gone”

“Thank you Sire”

Lady Jessica undid her dress and let it drop to the floor and stepped out of it.

“Time for your bath Sire”

With that, she walked over to the king and took his hand and went into the bathroom.
