LAST CHAPTER Begins!

     Gazing upon her face, Synos beheld Queen Sparta's radiant splendor, her golden smile and shining hair, the mighty heart of the Warrior Prince leapt within his chest at the sight of his Royal Lady as he fell upon his knees, kneeling down before his sacred Queen. Prince Synos wrapped his strong arms around her tiny waist griping her tightly to his muscular body while resting his head on her flat stomach exclaiming proudly "Praise be to the gods and goddesses! I have found you safe and sound at last!"
     Here Queen Sparta gazed down upon her beloved there on his knees before here and she could feel his hot breath through the heavy cloak, for it was opened up a bit forming a small slit just between her thighs so that if Synos had slipped a finger inside it he would have found his Monarch completely naked. Now she noticed the garland of oak leaves around his head and she said "What manner of this sweet Synos? Why do you wear this symbol of Royalty?" she posed her question running a long thin finger through the little black locks of his short hair.
     "This is my Ceremonial Crown." he replied with a smile tilting his chin upwards gazing deep into her emerald eyes "Why, in your absence, I, myself, have this very hour been appointed as a Prince of the Realm and have risen to the rank of General in a span of a mere three hours." here he flashed an epic exuberant smile.
     "Upon whose authority? By what means? By what Royal Decree?" she gasped eyes wide exceedingly pleased.
     "Upon order of your brother, King Therakles." he said triumphantly.
     Queen Sparta looked as if she was lost in a daze of wonderment "Is this not yet a trick of my mind? Are you, now, here standing before me an image from a vivid hallucination?"she gasped bidding him to arise from up off his knees.
     "I am not a figment of your imagination." Synos said boldly standing now fully erect, coming face to face with Sparta telling her "I am flesh and blood, my heart stirs with furious beatings, my blood flows hot through my veins, and my breath will bring a fever to your lips. Here he paused as if to give her a luscious kiss, then he with drew a bit as look as serious as the grave came over his face as he explained "However.., all I have spoken of will be made undone, the decree will not be honored by any nations and my commission as General will be abolished if I do not meet the demands, the commands, put forth by our most honorable King, who has been beside himself with grief in this crisis of your sudden disappearance."
     The eyes of the Queen sharpened like that of a hawk blinded by the sun and she asked of him "What are the demands he makes of you?"
     Synos stood up straight and said plainly "I am to remain a General.., if I return you home safely to the Palace to the arms of your brother whom, as I have stated, is sore to anger in his desire to see you safe by his side."
     "And the second?"
     "I shall remain a member of the Royal House of Sparta forever.., under only one condition..," here Synos took in a deep breath taking his Regents hands in his, moving his body a little bit closer, pressing into her skin, his lips just barely touching her mouth then he spoke softly. "I must make you my wife and take you in the marriage ceremony as my bride. That is, if you will do me the honor of allowing me to be your husband and give you strong children so that we together shall bequeath a Royal Dynasty befitting this mighty Nation?"
     Now, if time could be made to stand still, Sparta felt herself wrapped up in this moment of revelation. For she had achieved complete and total Success! Her brother and everyone else from the soldiers to every last citizen playing their own special part, unknowing of course, in her ultimate plan of murder and deception. Queen Sparta knew what is was to rule over men, yet she knew not what it felt like to be a god, but in this moment of frozen time Queen Sparta came a little bit closer to understanding the meaning of POWER and CONTROL. "I..," she spoke her words coming uneasy in her mouth.
     "MARRY ME!" Synos cried out  "My beloved Sparta say that you will be mine, lift me up my soul so hollow! Unless..," he paused withdrawing a little. "Unless your heart is still deeply, sorely troubled by your love and loss of Cothos?" he asked the very man's name, his former rival, coming like bitter ashes in his mouth as he spoke it.
     "Oh, my sweet PRINCE Synos!" Sparta exclaimed a spark flashing in her eye as she gave a soft, gentle smile."Do you know how I have fantasized about this day. I, myself, still am shocked, I feel this is still just a trick of my mind. However.., if all you say is true, and you are flesh and blood, not some phantom specter of my troubled imagination, then I shall answer your question, I will open up my mouth and speak only of the truth." whereupon she took two steps back along with a calming breath and this is what she said "You must first, open up your heart and mind, listen to what I say." here there was brief pause of silence as the eyes of Synos grew wide in anticipation as he waited nervously to hear her reply. "Synos, my friend, my dearest, sweetest love.., I sent you away NOT because I loved Cothos.., but because I love YOU too much." here she let this information soak into the buds of his mind like warm honey. Suddenly Synos let this sink in and he instantaneously felt that cold wave of numbness he had been feeling all night and day melt away with her declaration of love. "My madness derives from my guilt in the matter.., for by getting too close to Cothos, in a fruitless attempt to forget you.., as if he could be a substitute for the love, I could never have, and hold, for my own. By doing so I have not only hurt you.., but I have harmed this man and caused his death by allowing him to become too close to me. For, had I not drew him to my circle.., Cothos would be alive today." she paused gave a concerned look adding "And I am sure when Emperor Cyrillus arrives there will be hell for me to pay."
     "Never, No. It was an accident! For I can assure you, Great Lady, no harm will ever come your way."
     Queen Sparta felt peace and joy curl up in her heart as she through her arms around his neck and said "Come closer, Prince Synos, hear what I say. For I have loved you so long, the pain caused by your absence weighs on my heart like a burning fire. When you are gone away from my side I am made to suffer every day. I do not want to be without you." she drew closer still, mouth to mouth, breath on breath "Kiss me Synos, make me forget about this tragic event. Come into me. My holy anointed Prince of the Realm, let us be together, fully, once more, naked, alone, trusting faithfully in truth and love."
