While the handsome and imposing prince made his way to the chambers, a significant blush rushed onto Salicia's cheeks. While she was naked prior to being in the room, having eschewed them as part of her deception, the shy girl had found a sense of comfort having entered the chamber amongst a group of women who all seemed to be of a similar state. But when the prince, not only a clothed male, but the quite literal man-of-her-dreams, appeared before them, the azure-haired girl felt a sudden conscience about the issue. She initially worked to raise the silky sheets to keep a modicum of modesty held to her naked form, the rousing red-head's outburst and resulting cover-up pulled her shy of the necessary amount from the other end. "Eek!" Gasping with embarrassment momentarily before she could reign herself in. She kept her lithe back facing the Prince, instead trying to obscure his view by hiding behind the unashamed silver-headed beauty.<br/><br/>Despite her attempts to hide her maidenly charms, a small part of the former-maid scolded herself for her sudden cowardice. Getting here took no small amount of courage for her. Doing something like this was so-very unlike her, but in all the right ways, so she had to know that she could do this. It's not like she didn't know what she was signing into, upon setting this plan into motion. And she knew what men did to women when they were alone and naked. She saw her mom with them plenty of times. She wouldn't doubt she found herself spending a lot of time in only her flesh from now on. And, had she stayed where she was, that was probably true anyways, although for much less desirable circumstances. At least, this way, she could give her maidenhead to<i>him</i>instead...<br/><br/>Although, it was a little discouraging for her to really see the other concubines.Each of them deserved to be here, at least on the merit of their appearance and demeanor. Salicia was the reluctant envy of many of the females in the kitchens, often being embarrassed by their quiet praises for her perky breasts and petite curves, but the rest of the women here really made her feel small, in more ways than one. Their tops were heavy and their bottoms full. It was enough if they were here for just keeping the Prince company, but from what she understood, they were also here to birth his children. Wide hips were certainly much better for that. Suddenly, the girl felt like this was a bad idea...<br/><br/>But even her feelings of inadequacy weren't enough to deter her, when she heard his calm, friendly, yet authoritative voice ring through the hall. Rather than keeping intimidated, however, it had a strangely soothing effect on Salicia. Reminding her of his compassion. His strength. Resolve. Determination. His unfaltering composure. She knew of all these things before, but she was content with admiring him from afar for so long. It wasn't until his swift actions in pursuing his would-be-assassins...her mother's murderers...that she felt the urge strong enough to put herself at such risk. Not because she wanted a better life. But because she wanted to be closer.<br/><br/>She was scared, sure, but for now, as she peeked behind the others at his amazing stature and alluring smile, watching on in her most vulnerable of states, the urge to hide and run had been soothed, as she was reminded of her Lord's greatness. Reminded of why she loved him so.
