I WILL TAKE THIS ARROW AND SHOOT YOU.

Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard takes out her bow and arrow and she points it straight out at Lord Andrew Charles' chest and she threatens him “ I am going to shoot through your heart if you have one, but I doubt it.” 

“I don't think you have the guts.” Lord Andrew Charles tells her.

Lady Karissa points her bow and arrow at his chest and she tells him to dare to her, but  Lord Andrew Charles stops short and she asks ‘What is a matter Lord Andrew Charles.” 

“Put down that bow and arrow;” Lord Andrew Charles orders her.

“Who is going to make me, Lord Andrew Charles?” Lady Karissa asks her,

“You have no idea that your cousins want to end your miserable life, but out of respect for your father they have spared it.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“I am not one of your damn cousins and I won’t spare it. Lady Karissa tells him “ You are only alive for the sake of our children.” 

Lord Richard William Carey walks up to where Lady Karissa is with her bow and arrow and he tells her “ Lord Andrew Charles is not worth a good arrow.” 

“Lord Andrew Charles will cause his own downfall in time.” Lord Richard William states.

“I want to take this arrow and shoot it into his icy and thorny heart.” Lady Karissa tells Lord Richard William.

“Lord Andrew Charles is not worth going to a United Federation of Planets Penal Colony.” Lord Richard William states, “ Lady Elizabeth is only 5 years old and Lady Samhain is not even 3 years old.”

Lord Thomas William Howard walks over to where his second cousin twice removed is standing he tells him “ Listen here, Lord Andrew Charles. I have asked that you don’t give my great-grandfather a bad name.” 

“I don’t know why my second cousin named you after my great-grandfather.” Lord Thomas William  tells Lord Andrew Charles.

“Your father told me it was to honor his favorite  uncle, as he didn’t care much for his own stick in the mud father.” Lord Thomas states.

“I know that Lord Frederick William and Lord Andrew Charles were two hip men of their time and they were ladies men.” Lord Thomas William tells Lord Andrew Charles.

“My father told me that my great grandfather was tall, dark, and handsome and he stole the heart of Lady Cynthia Elizabeth Percy and that is how he became Duke of Northumberland Territory.” Lord Thomas states.

“It seems to me that only Lord Frederick William and Lord Andrew Charles had only guts and they were not scared of our great-great-grandfather, Lord Frederick William, but what I heard about our great-great-grandmother, Lady Jeanette Virginia. She would have murdered Lord Frederick William for the sake of her children.

“My grandfather, Lord Phillip, told me that his father told him she threatened him and she told him she would cut him into collops.” Lord Thomas tells Lord Andrew Charles.

“Lady Alexandra Elizabeth would have done the same to your grandfather for the sake of her children.” Lord Thomas tells Lord Andrew .

“Lord Andrew Charles since Beltane Manor is my property. I am asking you to leave it and go back to Norfolk Estate until I call for you.” Lady Karissa asks.

“I am taking my children with me.:” Lord Andrew Charles states

“My children are remaining with me, Lord Andrew Charles. “ Lady Karissa tells him.

“Lady Elizabeth can’t stand you when she sees you. She starts to cry.” Lady Karissa tells him and “Lady Samhain freezes up.” 

“Lord Anthony is just a baby and you don’t know how to change a baby diaper and he is being breastfed.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“Lady Elizabeth calls in your father every time you come near her.’ Lady Karissa  tells him.

“I receive enough complaints from your various lovers and they complain how terrible you are in bed.” Lady Karissa states.

“I have heard it from Lady Paulina and Lady Theresa.” Lady Karissa states, “Do you know what your cock is meant for?”

“You try to avoid the question.” Lady Karissa states.

Lord Andrew Charles tells her “ I will leave Beltane Manor since it is your property and it is located more in Bedford Territory than Norfolk and I don’t want any trouble for Lord Richard William Carey.”  

Lord Thomas and Lord Frederick tell him “ We will be happy to escort you to the gate.” 

Lady Karissa stands with Lord Richard William as they watch Lord Thomas William and Lord Frederick William III escort Lord Andrew Charles off of Beltane Manor.

Lady Karissa puts her arrow away and she carries  her bow and “I wanted to finish him so badly, but I won’t spare him next time.” Lady Karissa exclaims.

“When the time comes, we will bring him down the right way. He will force him to abdicate.’ Lord Richard William states.

“I want to feed him to the vultures.” Lady Karissa tells him and Lord Frederick, Lord Thomas, Lord Richard William and Lady Karissa walk back towards Beltane Manor.

Lord Andrew Charles heads for Norfolk Estate where he is greeted by his brother, Lord Charles Andrew Howard III and Lord Patrick William II and they ask him “ You have been exiled from Beltane Manor?”

“Lady Karissa sent me away from Beltane Manor and she almost shot  me, but Lord Richard William stopped her.” Lord Andrew Charles tells his brothers.

Lord Charles Andrew III breaks out in laughter “ Looks like you have met your match in Lady Karissa as she is not afraid of you.” 

Lord Patrick William II looks at his brother, “ Next time she will end your life.  You are safer here at Norfolk Estate until things blow over.” Lord Patrick William II tells his youngest brother “Our father always said that Lady Karissa had guts, grits, and she wasn’t afraid of you.” 

Lord Andrew Charles looks at his two older brothers “ Where are your children?”

“Lady Charlotte is with her mother and so is Lady Autumn Bridget.” Lord Charles Andrew III and Lord Patrick William II tell Lord Andrew Charles.

“Lady Karissa wouldn’t let me bring our children with me. She threatened me that if I removed them she would place an arrow in my heart.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

“Listen bro. They are more Lady Karissa children than your children.  She is the one who takes care of them and you know how our dad feels about Lady Elizabeth and he has already told me if you keep upsetting his heiress. He will make you abdicate in favor of Lord Patrick William II and Lady Karissa and Lady Karissa will only do it if Lord Richard William Carey is co-regent.” Lord Charles Andrew III states.

“You have only been Duke for 5 years and already you are upsetting our dad.” Lord Charles Andrew III tells him ‘ If Dad calls the rest of the Dukes and Earls   on Star Base 12. They will force you to abdicate.” Lord Charles Andrew III tells him ‘“Your Dukedom will be the shortest one in Star Base 12 history.”

Lord Andrew Charles starts to walk back toward Norfolk Estate and he tells his two brothers “ I love Norfolk Estate. Our great-great-grandfather built it with his own hands.” 

“It is full of memories for me.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

“I swear one day I will bring my son here and we will spend time together.” Lord Andrew Charles tells his brothers.

“At least you have a son.” Lord Charles Andrew Howard III tells Lord Andrew Charles.

Lord Patrick William II is silent and he says “ I am content with my daughter and if I get a son later on I will be happy.”

Femme Fatale

The Da

The Femme Fatale 

Lord Andrew Charles Howard never expected to be threatened by Lady Karissa but behind that angelic face was a woman that was dangerous.

Lady Karissa  had traveled by herself to Star Base 12 at the age 15 years old and at the age of 14 years she had become a war orphan. 

She had to travel 4 and ½ long years by herself on the USS Republic along with 499 other war orphans.

When Karissa arrived on Star Base 12 she was introduced to the senior Dukes of Star Base 12, Lord Charles Andrew Howard Junior and Lord Richard William Carey, Duke of Bedford Territory.

Karissa is a commoner but has knowledge of protocol and with that she curtsy to Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR and Lord Richard William Carey and it is Lord Charles Andrew JR gives her his hand and he helps her to rise and with him is standing  his 24 year old son, Lord Andrew Charles.

It is Lord Richard William Carey who gives Karissa to Madame’s Boarding House and he is a gentleman.

It is Lord Andrew Charles Howard who pursues Karissa and the only way to get rid of him is give in to what he wants and she does. 

Karissa does everything at first to try to get rid of him, but he is such a pest, and royal pain up her ass she agrees to see him and they start courting each other and they spend a weekend together. 

Lord Andrew Charles Howard is ambitious and he wants to become Duke of Norfolk Territory despite the warning from Karissa and she tells him it may become his worst nightmare  and albatross around his neck. He decides to pursue his dream of becoming Duke of Norfolk Territory and the one thing he needs is a child to cliche the title of Duke of Norfolk Territory.

Karissa has one wish and that is to have a daughter she can name Elizabeth Victoria Anne Beltane and the man who gives her a daughter will win her hand in marriage.

Lord Andrew Charles delivers that daughter to Lady Karissa on May 1, 2275 and with the birth of Lady Elizabeth. One month later Lord Andrew Charles Howard with Lady Karissa by his side becomes the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk Territory.

Lord Andrew Charles married a young woman that plays with fire and she tells Lord Andrew Charles in 2279 “ You better keep one eye open when you sleep because you don’t know when I will strike.”

Lady Karissa even goes further to tell Lord Andrew Charles “You had better have someone to taste your wine and food as you don’t know when I might try to poison you.” 

Lady Karissa warns him as well ‘I will murder your son and you both with my own hands and feed your corpses to the vultures.” 

Lord Andrew Charles asks her “ Are you threatening me, Lady Karissa?”

“I don’t make idle threats, Lord Andrew Charles. I make promises as you realize that I keep.” Lady Karissa retorts.

“Oh you will get your precious son, but he will never replace My Elizabeth. She will succeed you to the Dukedom of Norfolk.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“Lady Samhain is heiress presumptive  to the Dukedom of Norfolk Territory after Lady Elizabeth.” Lady Karissa reminds him.

“Your precious son will be in third place only if Lady Elizabeth and Lady Samhain don’t have any children.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“Rest assured, Lady Elizabeth will present your father with his first great-grandchild and that child will become the heir/heiress presumptive.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“It will be through My Elizabeth that the Howard’s will continue to govern Star Base 12 and Norfolk Territory after I am long gone.” Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles.

“Your dear son will never become Duke of Norfolk Territory.” Lady Karissa tells him.

Lord Andrew Charles looks at Lady Karissa “ I can’t believe that you won’t love our son.”

“I did not say that Andrew Charles. Don’t put any words into my mouth.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“I will love our son as I love our daughters..” Lady Karissa tells him. “I only pray he doesn’t grow up like you.”

“Our son will have to be content in being Duke of Lancaster Territory and the third child is always created Duke of Lancaster.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“If our son marries a cousin. He may bring in that marriage a new territory through his wife.” Lady Karissa states.

“My great-grandfather always wanted Lennox Territory.” Lord Andrew Charles explained, “He never cared much for the Stuarts. “ 

“My maternal Uncle, Lord Alexander Charles Stuart Senior is Duke of Lennox Territory now, and he has a son, Lord Alexander Charles II who will become Duke after him.  “ Lord Andrew Charles states.

“Oh yes. Lord Pansy Alexander Charles.” Lady Karissa says with a laugh, “Now there is a real piece of artwork. I would love to take a picture of him and turn it into a dart board.” 

“What a pompous jackass.” Lady Karissa says, “He thinks he is The Goddesses gift to women.” 

“I sure hope Lady Josephine Isabella Habsburg doesn’t marry him.” Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles.

“She is far too good for the likes of  him and he only comes from the illegitimate line of John of Gaunt and King Charles II of England.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“Lady Josephine comes from the Royal House of Habsburg and Burgundy.” Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles.

“Lord Alexander Charles and Lady Josephine Isabella are already married and  I have no clue if they are expecting their first child.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

“I sure hope that Lord Alexander knows what his penis is for as you don’t know.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“Don’t worry. Your precious son is on his way and may you find much joy with him, but you better not neglect Lady Elizabeth or Lady Samhain. If you do, Lord Charles Andrew JR won’t be too happy.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“I am not worried about what my father has to say.” Lord Andrew Charles tells her.

“You better worry about what I have to say to you, Lord Andrew Charles. I will carry out  what I have said I will do. I will cut your throat and let you bleed to death and then cut your stinking rotten corpses up and feed it to the vultures.” Lady Karissa tells him.

With everything said and done, Lady Karissa gives Lord Andrew Charles a curtsy and she walks out of his office and she leaves Lord Andrew Charles wondering  what her next move will be.

The Conjugal Visit

The Dreaded Conjugal Visit 

Unexpectedly, Lord Andrew Charles Howard decides to pay Lady Karissa an unscheduled visit . He is  in one of his lovey-dovey moods and he grows tired with Lady Paulina and Lady Theresa Hardwick.

They are after all his sex-toys and at his beckon call for his sexual needs.

Lord Andrew Charles looks at Lady Paulina and tells her “I am busy this evening. Return to my brother and keep him happy.” and with that Lady Paulina curtsy to him and she walks out of his study.

When Lady Theresa comes to him and he looks at her “ I have a headache.”  and Lady Theresa has learned to read him like a book and she curtsy to him and she exits the study.

Lord Andrew Charles exits through his private door, it takes him to a private staircase that leads him to Lady Karissa ‘s suite and he knocks on her door and she calls out ‘ It’s open.” and Lord Andrew Charles walks in and he looks at her “ I miss you Karissa.”

“I am sorry you miss me, Andrew Charles. I have been busy taking care of your heiress and your spare.” Lady Karissa states.

“How are our children doing?” Lord Andrew Charles asks.

“Lady Elizabeth is growing by leaps and bounds and she is causing some grief for Barbara.”Lady Karissa tells him. 

“On the other hand, Lady Samhain is not giving her grief.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“I will talk with Lady Elizabeth about her behavior.” Lord Andrew Charles tells Lady Karissa.

“Caution, Andrew Charles. Remember Lady Elizabeth doesn’t like you to get near or she will start to scream and cry, and your father will come from York and climb down your damn throat.” Lady Karissa warns.

“Damn my father, Karissa . My father wouldn’t let my grandfather run his life and I won’t let my father get involved with my family.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

“Lady Elizabeth is my daughter and I will spank her.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

“I know that my father adores Lady Elizabeth. If he could, he would make her Duchess of Norfolk Territory even now.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

“Oh no, Lord Andrew Charles. Your father will not create Lady Elizabeth the Duchess of Norfolk Territory. It is your albatross around your damn neck.” Lady Karissa reminds him. 

“I hope and pray it chokes you to death. I won’t let your father, pass the buck onto Lady Elizabeth.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“Why did you come to me this evening to tell me that you miss me?” Lady Karissa asks.

“I am tired of my mistresses.” Lord Andrew Charles states, “They bore me.” 

“What Lady Paulina and Theresa bore you?” Lady Karissa says with a laugh.

“When I am with them. I can’t get an erection and I can’t get an erection when they give me fellatio.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

“Have you asked them to give you a hand job?” Lady Karissa asks " I don't need them to help me masturbate, Karissa. I can do that myself.” Lord Andrew Charles tells her.

“Why don’t you masturbate and you will climax? Lady Karissa asks.

“I can’t get any satisfaction from it anymore.” Lord Andrew Charles complains.

Lady Karissa sees where it leads to you and she says “ So, you come to me this evening and want to make love or what you call making love.” 

“It has been four and half years since we last made love and yes I call it making love.” Lord Andrew Charles tells her.

“I must be a fool.” Lady Karissa tells him “ Very well Lord Andrew Charles get on with it then.” 

“We are married to each other. “Lord Andrew Charles tells her.

“Don’t remind me of my mistakes, Andrew Charles. “ Lady Karissa tells him.

“I don’t think our marriage was a mistake.” Lord Andrew Charles tells her.

“You are entitled to your opinion, Andrew Charles and I are entitled to mine.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“I married you against my better judgment as you gave me Lady Elizabeth and for the sake of your late great-great-grandfather’s memory I married you to ensure what he started here 121 years ago wouldn’t perish.” Lady Karissa explains “I felt his pain.” 

'I still even no know  what he went through on that April 30th day of 2153 when he had to leave everything behind and flee from Pre-World War Three Planet Earth.’ Lady Karissa tells him.

“Get on it with Lord Andrew Charles. I asked you to give me a warning before you wanted to make love with me.’” Lady Karissa tells him.

“I know you prefer my oldest brother and my cousin.” Lord Andrew Charles tells her.

“I won’t deny it. At least they know how to use their penis.” Lady Karissa tells him “ And just not to piss out.” 

Lord Andrew Charles walks over to where Lady Karissa is and he takes her into his arms and he starts to kiss her and she kisses him and they go after each other like two wild animals.

Even four and half years he hasn’t improved any, but his purpose is to procreate and not to enjoy the bonding process.

Lord Andrew Charles and Lady Karissa have I love you - I hate you love relationship with each other whereas every four and half years they come together and they have another child.

It is Lord Andrew Charles' one wish is to have a son to succeed him and he will create his son the Duke of Lancaster Territory in the name of his great-great-great-grandfather, Lord Patrick William Howard of a blessed memory.

Lady Karissa tells him “ I will name him Lord Anthony Christopher Howard.”  and if it’s another daughter, Lady Sophia Dorothea.” 

“I am tired of the same old recycled Howard names.” Lord Andrew Charles tells Lady Karissa.

“I have made sure that we don’t use those same old recycled names.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“I like the names of Christian, Christina, Andrea, Phillipa, Phillip, as well.” Lady Karissa states.

“We could use the names of Constance as well. “ Lady Karissa tells him.

“I am fine with the names you have chosen.” Lord Andrew Charles tells her “ Lord David told me to try a new position to get a son.” 

“Oh you call the missionary a new position.” Lady Karissa laughs.

“It works for me.” Lord Andrew Charles tells her.

“We will see what it yields, Lord Andrew Charles.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“Get yourself a son, if you can, but My Elizabeth will succeed you.’” Lady Karissa tells him.

“Lady Elizabeth is your heiress and nothing can replace her after you. If you try I will murder our son with my own hands.” Lady Karissa threatens.

“I will be just like your great-great-grandmother and I will cut your son and you up in collops and feed you both to the vultures.” Lady Karissa states.

“Be warned, Andrew Charles. When you fall asleep you keep one eye open while you are asleep as you will never know when I will strike.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“Have someone taste your wine and food as you don’t know when I might try to poison you.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“I would keep my door locked at night as you never know when I might try to have someone assassinate you.” Lady Karissa warns.

Lord Andrew Charles looks at Lady Karissa and asks “ Are you threatening me, Karissa ?”

“I don’t make threats, Andrew Charles. I make promises as you realize yourself.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“I can right now call in Lord Frederick William, Lord Thomas William, Lord Charles Andrew III, Lord Patrick William II, and Lord Richard William Carey with them. They will bring Lord Henry Grey and Lord John Seymour and they all want to bring you down.” Lady Karissa tells him.

“I keep telling  them they have to wait until Lady Elizabeth is grown.” Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles.

Lord Andrew Charles looks at Lady Karissa and he is speechless and he bows to her and she gives a curtsy back and he exits from the private door where he came in from the first place and heads back to his suite.

Lady Karissa  looks out her window and says “Today is September 21, 2279 and if Lord Andrew Charles gets his way he may have a son in June of 2280.

Lady Karissa won’t know for sixty days if she has conceived once again and she still has two more children to give to Lord Andrew Charles and two children to give to Lord Richard William.

Lady Karissa doesn’t care if their third child is a son or another daughter. She already has two daughters and she will be happy with each one.
