Iago was awake, but he pretended to be asleep by taking a while to answer. "Yes?" he asked sleepily. Thankfully, he looked tired. He had slight bags under his eyes from staying up late, and his hair was still dishevelled.
"Come in." he added.

Jocεlyn Jocelyn slowly entered his bedroom and peeked her head inside, he looked deliciously disheveled and she smiled a bright smile. Oh did she have a day planned for him.
"You look good enough to eat dearest." Jocelyn smiled and winked a sultry wink before entering his room and sitting upon his bed. She ran her fingers through his hair and kissed his cheek.
"I have a big surprise for you today my love." She whispered, unable to hide her excitement.

Iago smiled back at her. He found it easier to smile convincingly now, but not because he was feeling anything for Jocelyn. It was because he knew he could easily pull her strings, and do things in the background without her knowing.
"Thanks. So do you." he replied, wondering if that had been a mistake. He raised an eyebrow, sincerely curious.
"Oh?" he said simply.

Jocεlyn Jocelyn had been taken aback by his words and smiled at him, a more sincere smile than any of her others had been. He was really falling for her....he really was falling for her....she kept repeating in her mind.
"Yes....and it's almost ready. It'll be wonderful I know." Jocelyn traced his jawline with her fingertip and smiled at him once more.
"I love you so much." She whispered, kissing his cheek again.

Iago was too curious to respond to her saying she loved him. "What's the surprise?" he asked, grinning mischievously. "Tell me, or this is the least amount of clothing you'll see me in for a while." he warned.

Jocεlyn Jocelyn frowned and took his hand, so he wanted her to show him? Then she would, it was a bit earlier than she wanted it to be but she would now. She led him back down to the first floor and let go of his hand to speak privately with one of the guards. She ordered him to take Evie out to the public square and gather up the townspeople there as well...it was going to be a spectacle. Jocelyn trotted back over to Iago and took his hand once more and walked outside slowly to make time for the guard. She'd also asked him to grab her weapon of choice as well.
"You will be wonderfully surprised....I hope you like it." Jocelyn smiled at him and led him along.

Something wasn't right here, at all. As soon as she had turned his back, he reached under his pillow quickly and took his dagger, stuffing the sheathed weapon down his pants while she wasn't looking and led him down the tower.
"We'll see." he said, concealing his nervousness. What was this surprise...and why did she need a weapon?

Jocεlyn Jocelyn already saw a few of the commoners gathering at the public town square. She was happy with the quick turnout and still couldn't wait to reveal to him what would be happening. She saw a woman standing in the middle of the crowd and smiled a rather scary looking smile. It was time.
"Come my love...and get a front row viewing." Jocelyn led him to the front of the crowd and nodded to the guards.
"It's time." The guards did as they were instructed and made Evie get down onto her knees, they tied her wrists to a post so she could not get away and tore the backing to her dress. "I knew she was a nuisance when I first laid eyes on her." Jocelyn growled menacingly and held her hand out for her weapon: a whip.
With a big smile upon her face, Jocelyn raised her hand above her head and brought the whip down as quickly as she could over Evie. The cracking sound appealed to her. Jocelyn was a master with the whip and soon finished carving Iago's name into the girl's back.
"You will suffer publicly for the shame you've brought upon Iago...his name will forever be engrained on your person to remind you of this." ஐ----тһε ßlα¢кšмıтһ----ஐ
εviε Evie would not give Jocelyn the satisfaction of hearing her scream and so she bit her lip as she felt the whip come down upon her bare back repeatedly. Her face was bowed down so the villagers could not see her weep in pain. She could almost predict when the whip would come down on her again and again, it dug into her skin deeper and deeper. She did not know how much she could take without screaming.

Iago was stunned, seeing Evie...HIS Evie, tied to a pole, and whipped. But that didn't last long. Fury boiled over and he drew his dagger, jumping onto the stand. "Stop!" he shouted. As the whip came down again, he slashed it clean in two. Then he turned on Jocelyn, an evil look in his eye.
"You've gone over the line, Jocelyn." he informed her, seething with rage and clenching his teeth to keep him from yelling at her.
"This is MY kingdom, Jocelyn!" he shouted. "You have NO power here!" he added, turning to the guards. "Untie her, and take her to the medical ward." he ordered, and turned on Jocelyn again.
"That girl has done NOTHING to deserve a public whipping." he said, still in a loud tone, and still enraged.
"She is an innocent commoner! And you whip my name into her back? Get out of my sight, Jocelyn!" he yelled at her, ready to thrust the dagger between her ribs.
"You'll be lucky if this marriage is still on!" he added, pointing to the castle.
"GO!" he roared.

Jocεlyn Jocelyn gaped at Iago open mouthed, she hadn't expected that sort of reaction from him at all. He'd displayed no feelings towards the girl, not even one of slight caring...his jumping to her rescue had definitely caught her off guard as well as his threat to call off their marriage. It was her turn now to seeth in rage as she cracked her whip...forgetting that Iago had severed it. She threw the useless piece of rope and glared at him.
"You will not call off this marriage...if you do....your kingdom is history. I'll wipe this useless waste of land off the map forever if you do." Jocelyn stormed away at that, the crowd hardly parting for the hateful hag. ஐ----тһε ßlα¢кšмıтһ----ஐ
εviε Evie sighed with relief as she heard the whipping was going to be stopped. Her skin crawled and her back seared in pain as wind blew passed it, she felt as if she was about to faint or retch...which ever happened first. She felt hands at her wrists, untying her binds and she slumped forwar, resting her head against the post...oh how she loved that post. She'd heard Iago's voice yell in outrage and could not believe it was him...he'd never sounded like that before.

Iago turned to the crowd that was still assembled. "You heard her threat." he said to them, grinning evilly. "To all able bodied men in this crowd, who would defend your kingdom?" he asked, holding his dagger high. Many, if not all, hands in the crowd raised, as well as a small cheer. Iago sheathed his dagger and turned to Evie, instantly softening, but holding his facade. "I'll escort her. You two follow me." he ordered the guards. He tenderly, slowly, moved her arm over his shoulder, and put his one arm over hers. "Can you walk?" he asked softly.

εviε Evie jumped hearing Iago's voice go from frighteningly mad to a tenderness that she'd heard before. Her eyes opened and took a quick moment to adjust and she saw him. She felt tears form but blinked them back, she did not want to cry in front of Iago...not just then. Her heart beat painfully against her chest when she'd heard the roar Iago had stirred up in response to Jocelyn's threat and she smiled, at least they were all in it together. Evie hissed when she'd been moved and flinched when one of the guards had gotten too close and brushed against her back.
"I will be fine....." Evie assured him and gave him a smile of her own. "It's not bad I swear."

"Okay, come on." Iago said. He gently led her down through the crowds, who parted. Many believed that she didn't deserve it. And no one ever did.
A few minutes later, he slipped inside the castle with her. After confirming that no one was around, he looked at her. "I'm sorry, Evie. She had told me she had a surprise. That...cold hearted Devil thought I was going to enjoy that." he said. He wanted to say more, but couldn't with the guards nearby. He entered the east wing, and led her to the medical room. An older woman looked up and balked at the sight. Iago quickly explained and the woman quickly gathered her supplies.
"I'm going to kill her. She will learn to never touch any of my citizens, especially you, ever again." he said. When the woman was farther away from them, he whispered to her.
"How did she know?"

εviε Evie hardly knew what was going on and wanted nothing more than to go to sleep....she felt so tired and dazed, all she wanted was sleep...that was all. She felt cold hands press against her and she whimpered at the light grazing of her back. If Iago didn't kill Jocelyn, then Evie would gratefully do it herself. The kind woman ushered Evie to a big, soft bed and had her lay on it on her stomach. Evie hated moving at all, every twitch sent a jolt of pain up and down her spine.
"I do not know....I am sorry I have brought you shame." Evie whispered back to him, taking Jocelyn's words.
The nurse came back and very gently took a wet cloth to her back and cleaned her wounds. Iago's name had been whipped deeply into her skin.

Iago knew the nurse, and knew that she wouldn't say a thing that happened in this room. He took Evie's hand and shook his head, kissing it. "No. You did not bring me shame." he said softly. He brushed some hair out of her face. Even though she hurt, she still was beautiful. He wished he could hold her to take away the pain, but he knew that would add to it.
"No, it was Jocelyn who shamed me. Doing something like this, in my name?" he sighed, kissing her hand again.
"I'll make sure she never crosses the line again...or, if I'm lucky, SHE'LL be arrested. That..." he bit back a long series of very vicious swears.
