Welcome to Gaia! ::

karl looked at her blankly. then he smiled. "you want to marry me? alright. but only on one condition." he grabbed her arms and roughly pulled her against him. he looked her stright in the eyes as he said, "you are going to help me restore my kingdom."

"We're not going to talk to your father." Karl put Celestia on his horse and tied Skylight's rein's to his saddle to bring her with him. "We are going somewhere else, where I can keep a close eye on you." He climbed up behind her and put his arms on either side of her trapping her in front of him. "you should be more careful when choosing your friends, Princess," he whispered to her.

"Keep quiet," he said kicking his horse into a sprint. "If people see us, they will think we are a couple going for a ride." Skylight ran beside them. Karl smiled to himself. This was too easy. "Once we get there, then you can do whatever you want, so long as you dont cause trouble."

Karl ignored her kicking the horses into a gallop. They went faster across the ground, and Karl had to tighten his arm around her waist to keep her from falling off. "I do not intend to hurt you, Princess. Only to use to to restore what is rightfully mine." He looked down at her. "My father paid with his life to keep the freedom of his kingdom, and your father murdered him, watched him die in his own blood. I will not let my father's sacrifice go unhonored."

Karl grunted but didn't stop. "Keep doing that, and I wont hesitate to tie you up," he hissed glaring at her. "I meant what I said. I wont harm you, but your not exactly on my good side right now, Celestia. Sit tight and behave. We're not in kingdom territory anymore."

Karl pulled the horses to a stop harshly. "And here I thought you loved me, Princess," he laughed harshly pulling rope from his pocket and twisted Celestia's hands behind her back roughly tying them. "You left me no choice, Princess. I did warn you." He sighed and ripped a piece pf his shirt off. 'I really dont want to do this for fear of mistreating you, but I simply cannot have to screaming for help." He pulled the cloth over her mouth and tied it tightly behind her head.

Karl pulled her back against him making the horses pick up speed again. "Try as you might, you cannot get out of those ropes, Princess. And I am stronger then you think." He leaned down to whispered directly in her ear, "When I send a message to your father claiming I have his daughter at death's door, he will give my people their freedom. And then you will be returned unharmed." he chuckled darkly. "Assuming that is you behave enough to stay unharmed."
