The King, the old king that is, had the only claim to the throne. Well, that’s what I thought until his cousin said he had a better claim. In fact he didn’t but he had something better. A bigger army and it turns out if you have one of those then you can have pretty much anything.
Now Richard is king after one swift battle. “Long live king Richard” anyone who didn’t want their head cut off sang out. In honesty unless you died in the battle you didn’t lose much, one ruler is the same as another. I actually didn’t care.
After the battle a local castle surrendered to Richards’s army. This was a major strategic stronghold but had a better prize. The old kings Daughter, this meant she could undergo torture to discover information. Also putting her to torture was a symbolic act as torture happens to the losing side. I think even if Richard knew she had no information then he would have ordered her tortured anyway for this reason.
But Richard was convinced she knew where the old king, King James was. Although we were not allowed to call him King James, we had to call him James the traitor to disgrace him. To be honest I’ve been called worse before breakfast.
As I had worked interrogating women accused of witchcraft I was called to assist in extracting information from James the traitor’s Daughter, Princess Ariel was her name. I spoke with one of King Richards’s generals who told me I was to question her. He was an angry looking man still wearing his armour that clanged as we walked down the stone passageway in the bowls of the castle.
He told me about how I should conduct myself around her and how her torture would not be the same as others I had done. I was to be respectful with her and I was not to mark her skin. This was a common rule when torturing a woman of rank which left me two methods I was allowed to use. The rack or the pear. Both effective but as I the general owned a pear I decided to go with that.
The pear was a brutal tool but all the damage was internal making it the perfect device to use on the Princess. Also as it was torture that feel within the rules she was expected to cooperate. I found the pear to be a very cruel tool that caused a woman the most horrible of suffering. Yet it was a very effective so it could be used if you had to stomach to hurt a woman in such a way.
The General took me down narrow stone corridors past cells filled with prisoners. Their depressed moans echoed to create a monotone drown that did not stop. We eventually came to a stop at a large wooden door. The general passed me an object wrapped in cloth. I unravelled it to reveal a pear that was clearly designed not for the mouth but for use on a womans most delicate area.
He looked a bit saddened after he had passed it to me. The man shook his head “It would be best if she could just talk but she hasn’t so far. Maybe the sight of that ting will get her to open up. If not you are to use it on her to its fullest extent”
“I understand my lord” I replied to the man before putting the pear into a large pocket on my trousers.
The general opened a heavy wooden door for me “She’s in there do as you must with her then report to me”
“Yes my lord” I replied and entered to room to hear the door close behind me. This was when I first saw her, She was young, about 20 years old. She had blond hair with blue eyes and a very curvy figure. Her breast were large and heaved up and down under a simple white robe as she drew breath. I certainly had no idea I was to work on a creature like this.
She was tied to a chair in front of a table to be questioned. Upon seeing me she made eye contact then looked away. I sat down on a chair opposite her.
The chair scraped on the stone floor as I moved it under the table. I looked at her in silence for a moment. I could see fear and defeat in her eyes. To see beauty saddened like this was not a pleasant sight but I had a job to do.
Looking around the room is was a reasonable size. A few touches on the wall and a Brazier full of hot coals gave the room an orange hue. I looked back at her as she looked back at me.
She changed her stare to one more accusing. “Are you here to ask me more questions? I have told you everything”
I shook my head slowly. “No Princess Ariel, I am here to torture you”
