Hey ladies,<br/><br/>This is the OOC thread for our story. This is where we put up our ideas, cravings, complaints, musings, absence notices and general banter.<br/><br/>To recap, here's the basic setting again:<br/><br/><em>There are 3 primary characters: the princess of a medieval kingdom, the general of her army and the general's daughter. The king had died a couple of years back, and had it not been for the guidance on strategic matters and the military initiatives that the general provided to the 18 yr old princess, enemies would have run over the kingdom surely. As it happens, they now fear and respect the might of this kingdom as they did during the king's reign.<br/>The princess of course has no fear of the general rebelling against her or usurping her power. For he has been almost an uncle to her all her life. He was her father's closest friend and confidante, as well as the trainer for the princess. He taught her politics and military strategy, as well as hand-to-hand combat and weapons usage. So when the king was no more, she found his shoulder to cry on. Her mother had never been by her side - she was killed on the night after the princess had been born, during a coup attempt by one of the ministers, which was undertaken while the king was taken by the flu. The general had saved the little princess's life and had killed that rogue minister as well.<br/>The king had been lost in grief, but he was indebted to the general for saving his daughter's life - the king hadn't even seen the girl properly before the attack shocked the palace. The king decided not to remarry and focused on his daughter. Growing up the princess had for company, the general's daughter who was the same age as hers. The general's wife had died at childbirth a few days before the attack on the palace.<br/>The general is happy with the kingdom back to its strength and the princess adorning the royal crown, but his heart conceals a secret which now feels like too heavy a burden to carry. He had, on that fateful night when the attack happened, decided to switch the princess and his daughter - to be ready for the worst case of the mad rebelling faction of soldiers killing the baby. He was ready to sacrifice his child to save the princess's life. But the attack was foiled, and from that moment, the king had kept the princess (who was actually the general's daughter) clutched to his chest.<br/>And so it happened that the real princess was now living in the general's house, while his daughter ruled over the lands. What made matters more complicated was the way the closeness between the princess and the general had been growing. She liked spending as much of her time with him as she could. And she loved being physically close to him - giving him massages herself after the day's work, staying partially undressed in his presence. She tried to kiss him last night for the first time, and he was shocked to find himself unable to resist for the first few moments.<br/>And in his home, he sees how the real princess has grown into a beautiful young woman too. His eyes betray his carnal desires, and he's afraid his daughter has seen them and may grow uncomfortable. But little does he know, his daughter (the princess) fancies the forbidden too.<br/></em><br/><br/>So the story looks at how these relationships grow and mature, and the two young women who had the general as their master during their training years finally dedicate themselves fully at his feet.<br/>The way I see it, the story will have only light bondage (if any) and no explicit D/s kind of relation. Unless you want it - I'm totally open to it. Apart from that, this is just tortured love and lust.<br/><br/>Perhaps we can start with the ladies choosing their roles. Mia is interested in playing the real princess (who lives with the general as his daughter). What's your preference, Sarah?
