Sweet surrender

The galant king came upon the whethered maiden and saw that she posessed a very special gem.
At that moment he made a decision to polish, nurture, and love this gem and make it his own.
Where many had been before him, he baptized, claimed, and made his mark.
The gem was his. Only his. Off limits to any and all.
The maiden learned to take pride in this gem. She saw it as pure, after despising the gem for so much pain and suffering in her past life.
She watched over her King's gem and could never bare to have another touch it.
Only her King's handling was possible.
And that was all that she ever needed.
But alas.... her enemy had finally won the battle.
Now the maiden would have to protect this gem behind closed doors.
The gem would not be able to feel the Kings special, loving care.
The only touch that mattered to the gem would be lost forever, stolen by the enemy.
Now the maiden ponders, will she begin despising the gem once again?
Will the gem be blown into bits?
In the kingdom of make believe, real accidents happen.
