-HER-

"You're back," I chirped. The Drakkon king didn't say anything as he stood there with his men, staring at me with a combination of hate and lust. What an amazing combination. Behind him, I noticed his third General who looked very anxious to be there and beside him was Rednor, who was looking at me with doubt.

This widened my smile.

"I'm so glad you're back," I smiled sweetly and strummed the harp. I noticed how the Drakkon King's Addam's apple bobbed up and down as he ran his eyes from my head to toe.

This was working.

Just behind him his general and his second-in-command looked more and more anxious and suspicious of me respectively.

"Oh Drakkon King aren't you happy to see me?" I asked him sweetly as I continued to strum the harp.

This time he finally spoke up, "What are you doing here?"

"Why?" I smiled at him as I strummed away the bloody harp, "I'm here to welcome you since you told me that you'd be back,"

At my response, he clenched his jaw and was about to take a step further when Rednor held his shoulder, stopping the Drakkon king from taking another step towards me. His eyes burned with suspicion as Rednor glanced at me before he stepped very close to the Drakkon king and muttered something in his ear.

At this, I tilted my head and asked the Drakkon king gently, "What's your second-in-command is saying, your highness?"

"What are you really doing here, Ruel?" The Drakkon King asked me again. This time a bit more demandingly. The softness with which he used to speak to me was now gone but the lust still remained in his eyes.

I played the harp and the lust simmering in his eyes.

"I told you, your highness," I spoke softly as I slowly climbed down the boulder, "I'm here to welcome you because you told me you'd be back for me, didn't you?" I asked.

"I did," The Drakkon king growled.

"Then why don't you come to this side?" I asked him, "Didn't you miss me while you were away? Don't you want to take me back to your place and make me your queen anymore?" I asked softly as I started to step closer and closer to the army.

I could see the fear on their faces. They were anxious and just when I crossed the post and took another step towards the Drakkon army, the army of a hundred thousand Drakkons took several staggering steps back except for the Drakkon king who still stood there, watching me with hate and lust.

I smiled.

"Don't you want me anymore, your highness?" I asked him, still strumming the harp gently. I could finally start to see uncertainty in his eyes as I edged even closer towards him while his army kept taking several steps back in fear.

The Drakkon king let out a growl before he took a daring step towards me and growled, "What are you planning to do now?"

"Your highness," Rednor shouted from behind, "Step back. She cannot be trusted!"

I threw my head back and laughed while the Drakkon king's gaze intensified more on my face.

"This is a trap, isn't it?" The Drakkon king asked.

"Does it feel like one?" I asked him, seductively running my finger down his chest armour. His breaths became laboured instantly while his eyes darkened more with lust.

"What have you done, Rule. I trusted you. I loved you more than my wife!" He growled. I could hear hurt in his voice. He was getting emotional on the battlefield which was the worst way of becoming vulnerable.

"What have I done?" I asked with the same hurt tone, "You should ask what you've done. All of this could have been avoided if you had crowned me your queen," I whispered softly as I circled around him, running my fingers over his armour, straining it with the blood from the harp.

"YOUR HIGHNESS!" Rednor shouted from the back. I noticed that their army had moved several yards back. They were standing there looking more anxious and uncertain than ever. "STEP AWAY FROM HER! SHE IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED!"

"Are you going to listen to your second-in-command, your highness?" I asked softly as I stepped in front of him and peered into his eyes innocently even though there was blood on my fingers.

"You're alone here, aren't you?" The Drakkon king asked me in return, "You're doing this to taunt me," He commented. This made my heart race for a moment. Did he see through my plan? The smile from my lips threatened to slip but I still maintained it.

"What do you think, your highness?" I asked him with a devilish smile and for a moment it did strike fear inside of him.

"Your reputation makes it hard for me to trust you anymore," He told me as he finally took a step back.

I laughed, "Is that so, your highness?" He started taking several steps back.

"Are you going back, your highness?" I pouted while he glared at me.

"I will be back," He promised grimly.

"To go back again?" I asked. He could only growl at me for the insult I had thrown at him but he didn't dare attack me because I could see the fear and uncertainty simmering in his eyes slowly taking over him.

I could see that he doubted I was completely alone here to taunt him but so great was his fear of my unpredictable nature that he dared not risk finding out. Though I didn't leave him there. I walked behind him and his army.

"What are you doing?" The Drakkon King asked me.

"Why? Seeing you off?" I told him with a smile. It made them march faster. I could only giggle at this. In no time, they had evacuated the valley until only I was left.

When I returned back to the boulder, I found Lua who looked beyond surprised.

"You sly bitch," she laughed before the rest of my wolves came out and rejoiced. We'd won this war without shooting a single arrow but this wasn't the end.

Just down the valley, another war was raging which painted everything in dark red.
