“Where is Layla?” I asked, thinking of my younger half-sister. She was 5’5 and very attractive. She had shoulder length blonde hair, hazel eyes, a cute innocent face that was opposite of her character, budding breasts, a well shaped tight ass, and long smooth legs that would often catch my attention.
“Most likely buying a fleet of ships painted pink.” Jeremiah said in a grim tone.
“Ha!” I laughed. Layla had a reputation for pissing away the nation’s money on clothes, candy and various useless luxuries. The public hated her; she was a symbol of the corrupt aristocracy my father was trying to rid the kingdom of. “I want her cut off from all my finances immediately.” I said.
‘With pleasure sir.” Jeremiah seemed very pleased with my call. Now all there was to do was wait. I retreated to my study and sat at my desk reading up on past kings before my time. I studied for hours trying to make sense of what they did right and what they did wrong until my concentration was broken by the doors to my study flying open.
Layla stormed in, her face red with fury. I could see the guards at the door were lying on the ground unconscious. She came up to me and raised her hand. She slapped me across my face with a strength I wasn’t aware she had.
“Did you knock out the guards?” I asked holding my cheek.
‘Who the hell do you think you are!” She yelled, ignoring my question. “How dare you try and strip me of my wealth! Treating me like a peasant!” she howled.
“I am the king!” I yelled back at her. I stood up and she took a step back. I saw fear in her eyes for the first time in my life. “You will not be left to do as you wish anymore! You will earn your place in my kingdom!” I said sternly.
‘What, what do I have to do?’ She asked, with a slight tremble in her voice.
‘Well, you can govern over a small territory in the east and report to me on all happenings no matter how insignificant they might seem. It will aid in my task of cleaning up the corruption amongst the nobles. However you will be required to attend classes and continue your education so that you are fit for the position.’ I said.
“No! Please brother! Isn’t there anything else I could do?” Her eyes were watering up.
“Yes.” I said. I moved closer to her and placed my hands on her hips. ‘You could perform your duties to your king, in the bedroom if you wish.” I said.
