"Little Villageâ
A jazzy little groove from Sonny Boy Williamson II, or Aleck âRiceâ Miller as momma mightâve called him. A lot of Sonny Boyâs history is shrouded in question, mainly because he told some tall tales when asked. This is a cut version from a 1969 compilation, Bummer Road. It was originally something like 12 minutes long with Sonny Boy and Leonard Chess (the other guy) arguing back and forth, trying to get the song started. This is easier to digest and itâs a pretty cool tune.

A Day in St. Charles, Missouri!
My sister Debbie and I decided to have a sisterâs day. We picked the town of St. Charles, Missouri as our destination. While there, I learned two things about St. Charles. One, it has a lot of history. Two, it is also called Saint Chuck by the locals. We saw T-shirts saying such in a local St. Charles store. Getting ready to head out! The History It is easy to see how St. Charles originallyâŚ

Part of the reason that Chess is so frequently played in Star Trek is because Leonard Nimoy is an avid chess enthusiast and asked the writers to work it into stories whenever possible.

I Hate It When You're Drunk - 4
Character: bodyguard!Bucky Barnes x Princess!Reader
Summary: A forbidden love between a princess and her bodyguard. They love each other deeply, but their relationship is threatened by the tyrant king's oppressive rule and their differing social statuses.
I Hate It When You're Drunk Series Masterlist
Main Masterlist || If you enjoy my work, please consider buying me a coffee on : Ko-fi đđť
Thank you to everyone who has read this chapter. Leave a comment and Reblog, please. I'd love to hear your thoughts. â¤ď¸
âWhen the time is right, we will make our move,â Bucky declared, his voice resolute.
���Finally, our time has come,â Isaac, one of the resistance members, said. He was among the many whose family had been ruined for not supporting King Leonard's ascension.
âWe want justice for what we've been through!â Lucas, another member, shouted, rallying the others into a cheer.
It was a well-known fact that King Leonard was a tyrant. Though the country appeared prosperous, many suffered behind the scenes, including the members of Buckyâs resistance. Each person in this room had been directly affected by Leonardâs ruthless rise to power.
The opposition, whether politicians or civilians, faced dire consequences for resisting the king. They lost their assets, their money, and often their lives. Bucky himself was a victim.
His mother, a vocal opponent of Leonard, had disappeared when Leonard began his ascent. When Bucky asked his father about her, he only responded, âIt's best if you act like she didnât exist.â
Those words left a lasting mark on Bucky. Over time, he discovered he wasnât the only one who had lost a family member to Leonard's tyranny. At the military academy, he met Isaac, Lucas, and others who eventually formed the resistance.
As they planned their coup, the room buzzed with intense discussions and strategies. Isaac turned to Bucky, saying, âYou play your part well. If we get the king, you could easily enter the royalty since you have the princess under your palm.â
The mention of you changed the atmosphere around Bucky. He glared at Isaac. âSheâs not part of the plan.â
Seeing Bucky's anger, Isaac raised his hands in surrender. âYup, I'm sorry,â he muttered before stepping away.
Bucky harbored no love for the tyrant king, but his feelings for you were different. You were innocent, a victim of circumstances beyond your control. He had grown up close to you and knew your struggles. This coup was as much about setting you free as it was about toppling Leonard.
The night was filled with fervent planning. Detailed strategies were discussed, each member contributing to the master plan to overthrow the king.
The next day, Bucky received a call from you. âThe king wants to meet us,â you said, uncharacteristically cheerful. Given your complicated feelings toward your father, it was rare for you to show such enthusiasm.
đ¤đ¤đ¤đ¤đ¤
The day before
âYour Highness,â the servants greeted you as you nursed a headache with aspirin.
âYes?â you replied, glancing up from your seat.
âYour Majesty has invited you to play chess.â
Both you and the king had starkly different personalities, yet you shared a common passion for chess. You found solace in the gameâs strategy, a rare escape from the burdens of your royal duties. The king, ever the strategist, enjoyed the mental challenge it provided, a way to sharpen his mind amidst his ruling responsibilities.
âTell the king to give me 10 minutes,â you instructed, rubbing your temples.
âAs you wish, Princess.â
You knew better than to keep the king waiting too long. Within the allotted 10 minutes, you arrived at his game room. The room was a relic from another era, with its only entertainment options being a billiard table and a chessboard. The air was thick with the scent of old wood and leather.
Leonard had been waiting, his posture relaxed but his eyes sharp with anticipation. He gestured to the chessboard between you. As you both took your seats, the game began. The soft clacking of chess pieces and the occasional murmur of strategy filled the room.
Leonard broke the silence. âTell me, why donât you want to marry Cassian?â
You moved a pawn, your eyes focused on the board. âMy heart only belongs to one person. If I married another, Iâd be a runaway bride.â
Leonard scoffed, clearly unimpressed. He leaned back in his chair, fingers drumming against the armrest, his gaze fixed on the chessboard as if it were a mere inconvenience.
You countered with a steely resolve. âIt would be humiliating for you and for me. The king of Verudian have to bowed his head in apology to another country. It would be dreadful for both you and the kingdom.â
You leaned forward, attempting to reason with him. âJust as you loved my mother, the only person who truly held your heart, I feel the same way. Itâs not something I can just ignore.â
Leonardâs hand hovered over a chess piece, the weight of your words hanging in the air. He sighed deeply. âIn this world, you are the only one who shares my blood. My daughter. I want the best for you.â
Your heart skipped a beat at his admission. The words were a rare glimpse into the complexity of his feelings. âI understand whatâs at risk. But you canât ignore my feelings in this. Iâve spent years pleading for your blessing, and Iâve been patient. For once, canât you consider what would make me happy?â
Leonardâs face remained a mask of stern calculation, though there was a flicker of something more vulnerable in his eyes. He exhaled sharply as if the weight of your words had momentarily pierced through his armor of indifference.
âI want whatâs best for you, not just for me,â Leonard finally said, his voice tinged with reluctant resignation. He reached for a chess piece, his movements deliberate and slow.
His hand hovered over the piece, his fingers trembling slightly as he set it down. âYou have the same persistence as me, and itâs clear youâre not going to give up easily.â
You leaned forward, heart pounding. âSo, youâll allow it?â
Leonard fell silent, his intense scrutiny making you shiver. After a moment, he reached out, his hand firmly grasping the piece you had taken. He moved it decisively, and then his eyes met yours.
âIf I give you my blessing, will you stop hating me?â he asked, his voice softer but carrying a heavy weight.
You flinched, momentarily thinking you had misheard. After all these years of pleading for his blessing, could this finally be the moment you had waited for?
âFather?â you asked, your voice trembling.
Leonard looked at you with a resigned yet stern expression. âYouâre right. You have the same persistence as me. All youâve ever wanted from me is to marry him.â He paused, his eyes darkening. âIâll allow it.â
Overwhelmed with emotion, you stood from your seat and embraced him. âThank you, thank you, thank you,â you said, your voice breaking with relief.
Leonard was taken aback by the sudden display of affection. It had been a long time since you had shown him such warmth. His stiff posture softened, and for a moment, he was caught off guard by your genuine gratitude.
Finally, your prayers had been answered. The weight of the past years seemed to lift off your shoulders as you relished the moment.
âYou should start the wedding plans,â Leonard said, his tone matter-of-fact.
âThis early?â You asked, still glowing with excitement.
âYouâve been waiting long enough,â Leonard replied curtly. âWhy delay any further?â
âYes, youâre right. Iâll go tell Bucky right away.â You said, already eager to share the news.
Leonard nodded. âAfter that, have him come to see me.â
âI will,â you promised, turning to leave with a bounce in your step.
As you left to share the good news with Bucky, Leonard remained in the room, his eyes fixed on the closed door.
A low chuckle escaped his lips. He picked up the knight chess piece, his fingers tracing its contours. After a moment, he broke the top part of the knight with a deliberate snap. The shattered piece fell to the table, a dark reflection of his true intentions.
đ¤đ¤đ¤đ¤đ¤
Present day
Bucky could hardly believe his ears when you announced, âHe finally gave us the blessing.â
He pulled you into a tight embrace at that moment, his heart pounding with relief and unrestrained joy. Every sacrifice, every tear you had shed, and all the time spent waiting culminated in this single, breathtaking moment.
Buckyâs eyes were moist with unshed tears, his voice choked with emotion as he murmured against your hair, âI canât believe itâs finally happening. We can be together.â
The weight of the years of struggle and hidden longing seemed to lift off both of you as you walked hand in hand towards the kingâs chambers. The halls of the castle, usually cold and imposing, felt warm and alive with the promise of change. You and Bucky exchanged smiles and knowing glances, savoring the rare moment of peace before facing the king together.
When you entered the chamber, you both bowed deeply. âYour Majesty,â you said with a voice full of gratitude.
Leonard looked up from his desk, his expression inscrutable but his eyes sharp and calculating. âPrincess,â he acknowledged with a nod, âBucky.â
You stepped forward, your voice trembling slightly with emotion. âThank you, Father. I never thought this day would come. Iâm so grateful for your blessing. It means everything to us.â
Leonardâs eyes remained on you, but Bucky couldnât shake the feeling of unease. He struggled to focus on the conversation, his mind racing with questions and doubts.
Why now? He thought, Why did the king suddenly relent? The timing doesnât feel right.
Leonard then turned his attention fully to you. âYou should discuss the wedding plans further with the planners. Now, leave us alone,â he said, his tone firm yet not unkind.
You nodded, still clutching Buckyâs hand, and left the room, leaving Bucky alone with the king. The atmosphere in the room shifted as soon as the door closed behind you. The air grew thicker, and Buckyâs instincts screamed at him that something was wrong.
The once grand and regal space now felt oppressive and claustrophobic, the air thick with an unspoken threat. The golden light that had once symbolized grandeur seemed to cast long, sinister shadows across the room.
King Leonard, who had earlier appeared as a benevolent father figure, now exuded an aura of dark authority. He rose from his throne with a deliberate movement, his eyes narrowing into sharp slits of cold resolve.
The transformation was chilling; the kingâs earlier warmth was replaced by a ruthless edge, a reminder of why he was feared across the kingdom.
With measured steps, Leonard approached an old display case at the room's far end. Inside was a swordâa relic of the past, its blade reputed to have ended countless lives.
It symbolized power and brutality, a testament to the king's unyielding dominance. Leonardâs hand moved with a practiced grace as he lifted the sword from its resting place, the blade catching the light and casting a menacing gleam.
âYour Majesty thank you for the blessing,â Bucky said, his voice barely more than a whisper. He tried to mask his fear but couldnât hide the slight tremor in his tone as he watched Leonard approach. He bowed deeply, his heart pounding in his chest, the weight of the moment pressing down on him.
Leonardâs footsteps echoed ominously against the marble floor as he advanced toward Bucky. The sword, now in his hand, seemed to radiate a malevolent energy. The kingâs face, once serene, was now a mask of grim determination. Each step Leonard took seemed to reverberate with the promise of impending violence.
Without a word, Leonard closed the distance between them. The sword was held aloft, its blade catching the light and casting a cold, steely gleam. Leonardâs movements were precise and deliberate as he positioned the sword at Buckyâs neck. The cold metal pressed against Buckyâs skin, sending a shiver down his spine.
Buckyâs breath came in short, shallow gasps as he felt the sharp edge of the blade graze his neck. The metal was unforgivingly cold, a harsh contrast to the warmth of his own fear. Leonardâs hand was steady, his grip firm and unyielding as he held the sword in place.
The intensity of the moment was palpable. Leonardâs eyes were fixed on Bucky with a look of icy disdain, his expression devoid of any hint of mercy.
Leonardâs voice, when he spoke, was a low, dangerous growl, each word dripping with contempt. âDo you think I wouldnât know about your little plan? Youâve been living in my kingdom, plotting behind my back. How dare you try to undermine me.â
The words were a cold, harsh reprimand that only heightened Buckyâs dread. He could feel the sword��s sharpness pressing against his skin, a tangible threat that made his pulse race and his breath hitch.
Leonardâs grip on the sword remained steady, his gaze unflinching. The bladeâs edge was a constant reminder of Leonard's brutal powerâpower that was both feared and revered. He was the tyrant king.
