				A smile broke across his face when he heard that he was still thought of as young. He certainly kept his age a well-guarded secret, and knew he looked considerably younger than he should. His long golden locks still maintained the bright colour of his youth, and he was blessed with few wrinkles, most of which were hidden by a stubble beard. No doubt Juliette could take a guess at his age from the stories of him and his father, but he was older than even the king was. Older than Juliette’s father.<em> I should probably stop looking at these girls in that way.</em><br><br>Recently He had found Juliette more and more appealing, but now, seeing her in that dress, rather than her usual battle armour. She had fine features, and a wonderful body that he tried to look away from, but couldn’t help but stare. <em>God how old am I? I’m acting like I’m 20 again.</em> He tried to shake the thought from his mind. “I’m sure we can go after dinner” He smiled, walking over to Lenally, holding his hand out. “May I see your star?”<br>

				Lenally was hesitant to take his hand but eventually gave in and let him help her up to her feet. She saw his grin at her compliment, but it really was true. She did think he was younger than he probably actually was, but knew better than to ask. Men could sometimes be like women with their ages, and it was rude besides the point. She did studied his features a bit but looked away. <br><br>Once he brought up the star, a huge grin broke out on her face. "Ahh yes!" Lenally said, turning around and unstrapping the large, bulky looking star. It was, more or less, a large shuriken style weapon. It looked heavy, but upon closer inspection was actually sturdy and light. Perfect for throwing and the way it was designed it would return to it's owner. But obviously, that took skill, if the owner had poor timing, it could easily injure the one who threw it. That a young girl like Lenally could wield it was rather impressive to most. "My brother got it for me and helped me train with it when I was younger." Lenally handed it over to Lorenso carefully, watching him inspect it.

				He smiled, turning the star over in his hands. “This is, amazing” He ran a finger along one of the edges, he hissed and pulled his finger away. “Ouch, it certainly is sharp.” A trickle of blood ran down his finger, and he grinned.<em> Most damage an Aserit blade has done in a while.</em> He pointed to an armour stand on the far wall, holding a pair of tattered leathers Lorenso would occasionally use for target practise. “think you can hit that from here?” He sat down next to Juliette, watching his new student.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>

				Lenally looked at the target and took in the size of the room, making sure that first of all, she had the space she needed to properly throw it. "I know I can. I practice with this every day." Lenally boasted, "The longest time I've not had between practices was the trip here."<br><br>"Are you sure I have enough room?"

				Juliette managed to refrain from blushing when Lorenso called her beautiful, but she had to admit she was moved by the compliment. And the dress did not seem quite as bad as it had earlier.<br><br>The princess then watched the two practice with interest—it was clear Lenally had a lot of potential and the drive to exploit her abilities to their fullest. <em>I hope we’re not creating a grave threat to our own military here,</em> she thought, and the sentiment was only partially tongue-in-cheek. On the other hand, maybe after today Lenally would be slow to trust whatever propaganda the Aserit used to disparage Theiri as a bunch of weaklings. Juli also kept an occasional eye on Lenally’s Blood Raven bodyguard, not because she was suspicious of him but because after so long forcing herself to observe every detail around her it was hard to ignore that impulse.<br><br>At Lenally’s insistence that she and Juli spar soon, the princess laughed slightly. “Just don’t learn your swordsmanship too quickly—I don’t think I’d enjoy getting my butt kicked,” she joked.<br><br>Juli found herself very interested when Lenally’s star became the focus of attention—it was an unusual weapon, and she was looking forward to a demonstration.

				Lenally grinned a bit and looked down. "I don't think I could kick your ass yet....but I would certainly like to learn to fight well enough to be a challenge for you." Lenally was happy to have made a few friends so quickly, she hadn't expected that at all.<br><br>She stood back, as they both waited to see her skill with her star. First, she demonstrated how good she was by spinning it with a graceful effortlessness as she twirled about, it looked like a dance. This weapon was an extension of her arm, it was clear she favored it. As&nbsp; she moved, she never slipped, never faltered. <br><br>Eventually she turned and with a subtle flick of the wrist, the star left her hand, striking the target Lorenso had given her only slightly off center. She turned, smiling proudly as she waited to hear their critiques.

				<strong>Servants delivering a message to each occupied private room</strong> <br><br>A subtle knock would sound at&nbsp; the door soft and unobtrusive before the door would click opened a crack. if no refute was forth coming the servant would step forward a step and curtsy deeply, "Her magisty the queen requests your attendance at dinner this evening and plans to make an announcement that may interest you."

				<div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/b9/Mirevia.jpg)</div>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mirevia bounced on her thighs slowly into a simple little curtsy that he couldn’t see. “As you wish, my King.”<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Her hands explored over the surface of her husband’s armor before going to work. She knew it quite well, having polished it proudly herself many times, and put it on him and taken it off just as many. Each little latch and link her hands found quickly, smartly undoing them and removing the armored plates. Each pauldron and brace she laid neatly on a table nearby.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;She didn’t hesitate to press herself close to him, the sound of her armor on his as she removed it clinking lightly. Patches of her bare flesh touched the cold metal, raising goosebumps that heightened her anticipation. When she drew close to remove the breastplate, she pressed her lips against the sensitive, vulnerable portions of his neck. The tunic beneath the armor fell away just as deftly under her fingers, but there she stopped then presented herself to him with another simple curtsy.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;“Would you honor your humble Queen, my King, and assist me in removing my own armor?” Her eyes flashed as she smiled provocatively. “The journey has made me weary, and I would relish the feel of your hands upon my skin.”<br>

				Lenally waited patiently but heard the sound of the servant's knock on the door, frowning a little. "Damn." She pouted as she walked up to the wall, dislodging her star from it as if it were a twig on the ground. Her muscles actually showed more when she was practicing, but she was not bulky. No, she was graceful and svelte, her body suited her skills. From looking at her, swords might be something she could learn and excel in, but ranged attacks may suit her strength. <br><br>Lenally looked disappointed at Julie and Lorenso as she nodded. "I guess I'll have to hear your critiques of my skills later after dinner, if I don't hurry and get....*shivers as she speaks*...ready, I'll have my ass whipped again. Once is enough so far." Lenally nodded, bounding off before anyone could stop her.<br><br>She knew she shouldn't run down the hall ways, but instead chose to do so anyway for the sake of time. She barely noticed the glances she got from startled servants and the like who saw a young woman running like a man down the halls with a weapon on her back. But she made certain once in her room to hide it well so it would not be found as she frowned at the dress that had been laid out. Obviously, her mother wanted her to wear another dress, but was nice enough to pick another blue gown. "I swear that I will burn all dresses should I ever become a ruler..." she sighed, wondering what Lorenso and Julie were doing.

				Archi slowly began to relax under the familiar touch of his wife. Her hands expertly started to unbuckle his heavy armor, setting it aside quietly. Only she could make the act into a sensual one, pressing up against him, kissing him on the exposed flesh that an assassins knife could easily cut. She was perhaps the only person capable of quieting his anger in any situation.<br><br>He felt light with the armor removed. A good bath would be needed as well but that could wait till later. He wanted to enjoy the pleasures of the flesh his wife presented to him. And he was not one to ask for something he would not do himself. But to think, had anyone seen them, Royalty removing each others armor and clothes, a slaves job...<br><br>His rough calloused hands found the straps and clasps to her own stylized armor, slowly removing it as she had removed his. He pressed his groin to her rear, letting her feel the slowly growing erection there that let her know he was more then ready for what the next few minutes would lead to. His own mouth is much more gentle as he kisses her neck, hands freeing her breast plate to reveal her glorious orbs.

				Juli thanked the servant for the information. <em>I really hope this announcement will be good news, we could use it.</em> She then watched Lenally run off down the hallway to change, and was slightly amused. The princess had never had quite that level of reckless energy, even when she had been that age.<br><br>She looked to Lorenso. “I should go freshen up. I’ll see you soon at the dinner?” After he answers she heads back towards her quarters to have the servants check over her outfit and make sure nothing was out of place.

				Lenally managed to get herself in the dress, again having to let her chest out to properly fill it out. Her mother knew how to dress her to please others, even if it made Lenally miserable. The gown that she was wearing was made to be alluring, seductive, but befitting a royal princess.<br><br>Lenally couldn't stand it, face flushing red with anger and embarrassment. She would most certainly need to go to the training grounds later to let off steam.

				<strong>Lyssa, slightly flushed after suddenly leaving the throne room.</strong><br><br>The Theiri Queen had hurried from her meeting with the Aserits at the news, knowing full well the anger they must be feeling. No doubt they were already using it as an excuse to look down on her people again, but some things were more important than politics and flattery, even to Lyssa. As she came up upon the royal chambers, the King's personal guard nodded and stepped aside for her to enter. The once elegant and beautiful bedroom, filled with memories of warmth and many a passionate night had become anything but. The warmth had slowly bled from the room; a bleak and cold light now shone from the windows, the room reeking of nothing but illness and death. Lyssa had a pained expression on her face, but then again, it was hard to read the young Queen's true thoughts.<br><br>The royal physician had grave news for her; a quick whisper in her ear, and that was it. Everybody had known her husband had not been faring well, and it seems it was almost time. Lyssa sent everyone away, leaving the two of them in their room. <br><br>"Darling." she whispered, brushing the hair away from the King's eyes. He moved softly, weak and clinging to life. His eyes opened, an almost fearful expression when he saw Lyssa. "Shh." she continued, putting a finger to his lips. "Save your energy."<br><br>Moving closer now, Lyssa held her beloved King in a cuddling embrace, with his head resting by her chest. Taking a small vial of clear liquid from her dress, the Queen raised it to her husband's lips; too weak to resist, the vial was drained almost instantly. "It's time for you to go.." she finished, before slipping out from underneath the King and heading towards the door. A saddened expression returned to her face, before she exited the chambers.<br><br>"Thank you..." she spoke briefly to the physician, shaking her head. The King's guard looked up at her with anticipation. "I have announcements to make." she replied, leaving and saying no more.<br><br><hr><br>Back in her own temporary chambers, Lyssa hastily scrawled out a letter addressed to a King Haider, before affixing it with the royal seal. The message was short, simple, and most importantly, cryptic. On a piece of yellow parchment, scrawled in beautiful cursive, it read: <br><br><div align="center"><em><span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">The King is Dead.<br><br>Aserits are in Theiri for peace talks.<br>Leave for our capital immediately.<br>Lose no time in arriving.<br>You will be welcomed upon your arrival.<br><br>Lyssa.</span></em></div><br>The Queen took the sealed letter to the captain of the King's guard, who had been waiting outside. For such an important message, a trusted and skilled messenger was needed. The captain could hold his own in battle, and Lyssa was not about to send a weakling to see the King of the horselords. Briefly, she remembered that even in her younger days, she had never slept with one of the large, strong men of the nomadic tribes. Dispelling the thought, the Queen made her way towards the Great Hall where her guests would soon be arriving for dinner.

				Before Lenally left to go to that damned dinner, she got up and walked across the room. She was again, entirely grateful to Erin for bringing her to this room as opposed to that frilly mess she'd been brought to before. She felt like herself here, surrounded by weapons of battle, with a magnificent view of the training grounds. She could stay in this room forever. She imagined it, reading thoughtfully, taking breaks to watch the antics of the soldiers in training. That made her smile, but she felt the smile fade.<br><br>More than likely, as her mother'd said, she would not be leaving Theiri. She would probably end up becoming the wife of Prince Gerrard, and felt her shoulders sag a little. She could only hope the announcement wouldn't be made at dinner, but that seemed to be the most logical choice. The whole world would be told, and she'd feel as if the only one in the room, trying to scream above the cheers.<br><br>Lenally put a hand to her star, smiling at it. She would find a way to survive, just like Henrik had taught her. She would not be taken down, she would fight until she either wound up dead, or happily sent back to Aserit. But at least here she had some friends, or at least those who were becoming friends. She grinned thinking about her sparring with Lorenso, and looked forward to sparring with Julie too. Maybe she'd be so lucky as to find Gerrard might let her continue fighting, at least one could hope.<br><br>With a sigh, Lenally walked with a heavy thoughts and a heavy heart towards the banquet hall, once there moving to sit beside Henrik.

				Sanguine had little time. It was true that he needed to relieve himself, but there was more to his plan than simply taking a piss. The well-dressed blind man, moved through the hallway filled with Theiri royal guards, making sure that those who had gathered in the dining hall didn't slip off without being followed. Exactly what San intended to do.<br><br>San went into the servants privy, and slid the curtain closed behind himself after telling Eyes to wait outside and stand guard. The wolf did as she was told, sitting dutifully outside the stall as her master relieved himself into the chamber pot. As he did so, however, he was swiftly undressing. Removing one item of the silken suit at a time and hanging them up carefully. San stripped down to reveal a tight, black body-stocking made of thin stretchable fabric.<br><br>When the suit was properly stored, Sanguine added the final piece to his black body suit, by slipping a smaller stocking of the same material over his head and hair. No eye holes were cut in the mask, as San had no use for them.<br><br>After taking a moment to stretch, Sanguine climbed the wall of his stall and grasped the stone edges of the small window that ventilated the privy. Carefully and silently, San slipped out of the castle, finding secure hand and foot holds along the sheer edge of the castle exterior. It required a great deal of his strength to grip the cold stone, but he knew he didn't have far to go.<br><br>Only a few feet by wall climbing, brought San just outside the room that Lenally had rejected. Slipping past the silken curtains, San stepped silently back onto solid ground and listened for a moment to see if anyone had noticed his departure from the stall.<br><br>The door slid open slowly, and San sniffed the air for torches. There were several, but he could hear the guards talking, around the corner and down the hall, still guarding the dining room. Hugging the walls and sticking to the cooler shadows, he closed the door behind himself and made his way past the hallway that led to the dining room and rushed toward the guard barracks.<br><br>There were two guards, standing sentry outside of the barracks, but this too was factored into Sanguine's plans. Using a thick, damp cloth that he'd carried around his waist, San wrapped a nearby torch, extinguishing it with a loud hiss. He repeated this process for all the torches within the hallway, using the corners and shadows to stay out of sight from the guards around the corner.<br><br>"What the fuck? Why is that hallway so dark?" One guard asked the other.<br><br>"The damn torches... They must have gone out." The other answered. "Come on, grab that torch from the door and let's go light them back up. It ought to be a job for a servant but they're all busy with the big peace dinner, so it's just another damn thing for us to worry about."<br><br>San pressed his back against the wall, tucked into a small alcove just around the corner from them, standing as straight as he could and trying not to breathe. He heard their steps coming closer and smelled the smoke from the torches they carried with them.<br><br>The first torch to be lit was straight in front of them, but if either had looked to their left, San would have been out in the open. But the dancing shadows of the torches they carried were his friends and soon they were past him, with their backs turned.<br><br>"Stupid fucking Servants." The first guard muttered as they used both torches to light the first extinguished one. "They must have forgotten to soak the rags in oil, no wonder these ones went out. And now they're a pain in the ass to light again."<br><br>As the guard swore, Sanguine dove from his hiding spot, executing a roll across the stone floor as silent as a sigh. He moved swiftly to the barracks door, not running, more like gliding across the floor. He knew that the door would be locked, but he'd brought his tools with him and wasted no time slipping his first lockpick into the key hole.<br><br>There was so little time.<br><br>The subtle clicks and hums of tumblers were a familiar sound to Sanguine and his lock-picking abilities were infamous. With the torches that usually lit the doorway now in the hands of the disgruntled guards, Sanguine was able to work within almost perfect darkness, but if either of the guards entered the hall before San had made his way inside, all of the careful planning and practice would be for naught. Just as he was beginning to ponder what would happen if he were caught, the last tumbler clicked into place and San was able to turn the series of picks in unison and unlock the heavy wooden door.<br><br>San took his time, closing the door behind himself to be sure that it didn't slam. He locked it slowly as well. All around him, San could hear the sounds of steady breathing from the soldiers of the morning shift, all deep in slumber from the busy day they'd had protecting the royals from the visiting Aserits.<br><br>There were no torches or candles burning in this room, a welcome change from the torchlit hallway, but even the slightest sound could wake one of the slumbering guards, a mistake that would almost certainly cost San his life at this point.<br><br>Taking his time, making sure to roll his steps, San sniffed the air for the familiar, metallic smell of blood. He had to smell very carefully, but in the end, it was the smell of stale wine and body odor that led the assassin to his target.<br><br>As gently as a butterfly lands on a flower, Sanguine ran his fingers slowly over the snoring soldier's neck, feeling the cuts that he'd left behind from his razor-wire the first time their paths had crossed. This was him, the guard that had threatened Erin and Sanguine both. He'd observed the man from afar in his time at Castle Theiri, memorizing his schedule and routine.<br><br>In one fluid motion, San mounted the slumbering man's chest, pinning his arms under knees which bore San's full weight. In the same motion, San clapped his hand down over the man's mouth and pinched shut his nose. The guard's eyes shot open and he tried to scream, but only a muted grunting sound was able to pass through Sanguine's hand. Smiling the wicked smile of the conqueror, he lifted the stocking up from his face and leaned down close enough that his lips grazed the man's ear.<br><br>"<em>I warned you not to sleep.</em>" Sanguine whispered through his grin.<br><br>By now, the guard was in desperate need of air, unable even to breathe with San's vice grip plugging shut his mouth and nose. He flailed and kicked, as much as he could for a short while, punching Sanguine's thighs futilely until his strength waned. This too was a part of San’s plan, as exertion of this sort deoxygenated the blood more quickly and there was no time to fight with him.<br><br>Inside of a minute, The Guard’s flailing lost any sort of strength and his body went limp, little by little. Though San couldn’t see it, his eyes rolled back in his head and he lost consciousness. After several more seconds to ensure that The Guard wasn’t playing possum, San released his face. Sanguine knew he was going to kill the guard, but not here. The rest of this plan would be difficult enough without having his victim coated in his own bodily excrement.<br><br>The Assassin wrapped the unconscious guard up tightly in his own bed-sheets and used those same sheets to bundle him up and sling the larger man over his back. It was a struggle to carry him, but not impossible. The truly difficult part was going to be getting the heavy sack of dead weight up all seventy-five of those stairs...<br><br>San carried the guard’s body over to the far window, making certain to remain silent. He lowered the man out, over the ledge and then let him fall, making certain to hold one end of the sheet he was wrapped in. The sheet unrolled in a fraction of a second and dropped the guard heavily onto the grass of the Upper-West garden. The sheet managed to slow the man’s fall enough to keep him alive, but the fall had likely broken his arms and several ribs.<br><br>San went back, taking a moment to remake the Guard’s bed, lest the sheets become evidence of what had happened. Once he was satisfied that none of the other guards had awakened from their sound slumber, San went back to the window and used the stones of the wall to climb down.<br><br>The night was cool and the moon in it’s crescent form, allowing Sanguine freedom to move through the long shadows of the garden without fear of being seen from afar. He crouched over the unconscious and likely brain damaged guard, digging in the dirt near his body. There, he extracted a bottle of wine he’d stolen from the kitchen and hidden here for exactly this moment.<br><br>With the wine in one hand, and the unconscious guard slung over his shoulder, Sanguine made his way toward the Western wall of the palace. Built into a mountain- as it was, the Western wall, facing the mountain was very rarely well-guarded if at all. With the Aserits in town, none were spared to guard the impregnable back wall of Castle Theiri.<br><br>Once he reached the top of the wall, Sanguine was sweating and nearly exhausted. As the last steep step of the circular staircase was behind him, San pulled the cork from the bottle of wine with his teeth and spat it over the edge of the high wall. Taking a long, deep drink- Sanguine made his way to the spot on the wall where he knew the towers and spires of the castle would block them from anyone who might spot them from the garden.<br><br>Holding the guard up by the collar of his night-shirt, Sanguine slapped him several times about the face until he woke.<br><br>“Here, drink this.” San insisted, pouring the wine down the man’s throat before he had a chance to say or do anything about it. “That’s right... Good boy.”<br><br>The Guard came up from the bottle choking and sputtering, splashing some of it onto the wall. As he began to get his bearings, rage flashed across his face.<br><br>“Where the-? What did-? What the fuck is going on?” The guard demanded, drawing back to throw a punch with his broken arm.<br><br>“How boring...” San sighed, leaning back to effortlessly avoid the punch that he heard whistling through the air. “In case you haven’t figured it out by now. I’ve brought you here to end your life.”<br><br>As the Guard’s punch came up empty, the momentum turned him around, for the first time seeing how high above the mountain face they were. As panic washed over him, The Guard lost his balance and would have fallen headlong to his death, but San wasn’t finished playing with his prey just yet. San grabbed the guard by his hair, preventing the man from falling forward.<br><br>“Now then, the next words out of your mouth had better be some poetic, ballad worthy shit, because I guarantee they will be your last.” San whispered into The Guard’s ear, leaning forward and letting him teeter closer still to falling, his toes already over the edge of the wall. “Anything else?”<br><br>“Fuck you! You blind son of a-” The Guard began, but the rest of his words were cut off by his own screams as San deemed these last words unsatisfactory.<br><br>San listened with a gleeful smile on his lips, taking one last drink from the wine bottle. The Guard screamed for several seconds of freefall until the dull, wet, thud of his body striking the stone mountain face confirmed a clean kill.<br><br>Then there was silence.<br><br>In that moment, Sanguine pondered the words of the Gypsy and Princess Juli who had accused him, each in their own way of killing for fun. Though he was a professional, no one had paid him to kill this guard, it was for his own vengeance that this man met his death. If he was honest with himself, he had to admit, it was fun. He did enjoy killing those who deserved to die, and what’s more, he was good at it. Was it so wrong for a man to enjoy his work? To find bliss in those endeavors for which he had such a talent?<br><br>San didn’t believe it was.<br><br>Lastly, San poured the rest of the wine out, over the wall and in amongst the mess left by the guard. He then cast the glass bottle after, the faint, distant shattering- music to his ears. It would be impossible to see anything amiss in the dark of night, no one would find the Guard’s body until morning.<br><br>The job now finished, San crouched down, crawling across the wall for a distance of fifteen steps. He’d practiced this escape many times over, walked the routes both ways over and over when there was nothing at stake. Now, everything was at stake.<br><br>San leaped from the wall onto the closest spire that he’d measured days ago. Making his way carefully across the tower roofs and thin ledges of the castle’s ceiling, San found his way back to the privy window and slipped back inside. He put his suit back on in a hurry and hid the stocking from his face back into the pocket of his suit. Affixing his sword and belt last, San slid the curtain back.<br><br>Eyes barked gleefully, thrilled to see him safe once more.<br><br>“Sir LeChance? Is everything alright?” One of the guards asked from outside, his voice sounding genuinely concerned. “You were in there for over ten minutes.”<br><br>“Oh, yes I’m fine.” San smiled confidently. “You might want to wait a few minutes before letting anyone else in there, though.”<br><br><div align="center">*** Moved to Castle Theiri/ Public Rooms (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=111523.175).***</div>

				Once Archibald was freshly bathed and shaved, he allowed the servant girls to flutter around him, dabbing him with scented oils and lightly brushing his skin dry with herbs. They lotioned and powdered his unmentionables and then began to dress him. Undergarments made of silk, soft against his clean skin. Then they added layer after layer of cloth, exotically dyed in bright colors and woven with threads of wrought gold. King Archibald Aserit insisted on being the most fashionable and attractive individual in any room. He represented his people, and he would be damned if he was out-flounced by those art-loving, Theirian hippies.<br><br>The King’s coat was forest green, lined with fox fur around the collar, his pants were burgundy and gold. His vest, that same burgundy and his leggings the same deep green as his coat. The entire outfit was woven with thick threads of solid gold, made all the more impressive by layer after layer of heavy gold chains. In Archibald’s mind, he was the conquering ruler, brought to this infernal castle to bend its occupants to his relentless will. The sorry state of his royal coffers back home would not prevent him from making an impression.<br><br>Lastly, King Archibald allowed his servants to place his rings on the fingers they were instructed. Without warning, Archi delivered a swift, back-handed slap to the face of the last girl to finish sliding her bejeweled ring on. He grabbed her chin after she flinched and turned her face to observe the pattern they left behind.<br><br>“Yes, these will do.” Archi muttered softly as he turned the whimpering servant’s face back and forth, observing every aspect of the mark his rings left on her face. “Go fetch my wife now. We have deprived the Theirians of Our Royal Presence for long enough.”<br><br>As he waited for the serving-girl to bring Mirevia, Archi finished the ensemble by donning his golden helmet crown, the same one he’d worn into battle for years.

				<strong>Minerva</strong><br><br>Sitting before the mirror her ladies maid teased her golden blond hair back and up drawing attention to her long slender neck and highlighting her cheekbones. As the maid finished with her hair using emerald pins to pin it in place Minerva stood her heels clicking light with each step as she turned to look at herself from head to foot. The dress of emerald green satin spun with sliver flash in the low light. The dress cut in sharply at her waist and flared provocatively at her hips. The neck line was cut daringly low letting her chest swell forward and draw the eye of any onlooker.<br><br>She smiled light nodding at her appearance satisfied when as a girl her cheek red with the marks of her husbands&nbsp; rings entered the room. She looked near crying but Minerva gave it no mind as she place a dainty hand on her hip and gazed directly at the girl impatience written all over her face.<br><br>The girl trembled beneath the withering look and stumbled over her words, " K- Ki- King Archibald r-r-requires your p-pr-presents my lady." the girl said trembling. Minerva sniffed delicately and nodded tendrils of her hair caressing her neck. She swept past the girl to the door that adjoined their rooms and swept inside inclining her head to her husband. "You calleD?" She asked lightly as she stepped further into the room, her gaze taking in his attire a smile flitting across her lips, weather it was one of pleasure or amusement was anyones guess.

				The King resigned to make her earn it.<br><br>The outfit in total was quite heavy in face, nothing like a suit of armor or mail, but it took some effort to keep all that gold supported. He bent his arm out to his once blushing, now merely busty wife.<br><br>“Come Minerva, the Theiri serving man beckoned us some time ago. You know I only like to be fashionably late, anything after that is downright tardy.” King Aserit said sternly, waiting for his wife to take his arm. “Let’s see what sort of artistic endeavor Theirian chefs might pride themselves on.”<br><br>*Continued in Castle Theiri Public Rooms* (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=111523.200)

				Lenally couldn't help herself. She felt terribly, seeing Lorenso so visibly upsetted at the king's sudden passing. She looked down at her hands, fidgeting with her dress uncertain.<br><br>She couldn't explain what she was feeling, why she'd so readily agreed to go with Lorenso. She felt bashful, shy.

And fuck all the noble codes in the realm." He smiled. "You know, that sword is meant to be Theiri's highest honour." he snorted, moving his eyes away. "Its not right Lenally... and all I know is, all I've got left in this place now is whats right". Lorenso stood. Taking her hands in one of his. "I'll protect you... If you so wish." His fingers brushed back a lose hair from across her face, and he leant in slowly, locking his lips with her in a passionate kiss.

				Lenally listened as he spoke. "I can tell....no one would grieve so deeply over someone they weren't close to." She grinned a little as he smiled, essentially saying to hell with the codes and formalities. She watched him stand, assuming he meant to leave until he took one of her hands in his. "L....Lorenso...?" she said, looking up at him with those innocent brown eyes. She felt a shiver when he brushed a strand of her hair away.<br><br>But her eyes widened when she felt his lips press against hers. She froze, much as she had before when both Lorenso and Gerrard had kissed her hand, and that slight moment before she'd kissed Lorenso according to custom. At first, she moved her hands up and tried to push him back. She didn't want to be kissed and yet....and yet she felt herself liking this sensation. Still, out of force of habit she tried to move away, gasping a bit in surprise. Her face beautifully flushed as her chest heaves. <br><br>She sits there, trying to take in what happened, feeling Lorenso so near.

				Lorenso watched her as she pushed back against him, sitting on his bed. He didn't fight her, dropping his gaze he sat beside her. He took her hands again, looking into her eyes, feeling them shake slightly. "I...I apologize...I don't know what came over me"&nbsp; Lorenso stroked his hand against her cheek, ever so gentle. "You are so beautiful Lenally, to beautiful to be bought and sold for peace the way you are." Lorenso pulled her into his arms, looking deep into her eyes.

				Lenally looked at him as he took her hands again, still catching her breath. There was a shake to his grip, but she almost couldn't feel it over her own trembling. "I....it's.....it's fine." she said dropping her gaze until she felt his hand at her cheek once more, such a gentle touch. She felt him pull her into his arms but this time for some reason she couldn't stop him. Being there she felt something new, exciting. Frightening. <br><br>"I....I'm not beautiful." Lenally said, the normal tone of her voice changed from her surprise. She wasn't used to being called beautiful, she wasn't used to being a woman as she acted more like a man half the time. She looked up and saw Lorenso's deep gaze into her eyes. She gulped a little, wondering if she'd done the right thing in coming but knowing that Lorenso would never harm her or force her. She attempted to relax in his arms, still trembling. She felt an urge to punch him but his sudden kiss shook her senses somewhat.

				Lorenso smiled down at her. "You're the most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time". Lorenso ran his fingers through her hair. "So fair... and so brave to be uncaring of what the others think." He held her tightly. "And yet so bashful aren't you?" He grinned slightly, "There's no need to shake my princess. Just follow as your body tells you" Lorenso lent in again, stopping before he reached her lips, letting her make the last move.

				These feelings were quite unfamiliar to young Lenally. She'd only read of such intimate encounters in her secret stash of romantic novels. She'd read them, wondering what it would be like even as she resisted the idea. She feared falling in love because she felt she would be changed and not for the better. But her heart raced as she felt Lorenso's gentle caress as he stroked his fingers through her short black hair.&nbsp; His compliments made her smile a bit as she looked away. Then he'd mentioned her shyness.<br><br>"I....I'm not shy!" she tried to protest, her blushing cheeks saying otherwise. He had to mention her trembling too. And yet when he leaned in again, she felt herself begin to lean forward, pressing her lips to his own. She was no coward after all! She felt him pull her closer to his body, and begin to deepen the kiss. She wasn't quite sure what to make of it when she felt his tongue starting to attempt to enter her mouth, and when she parted them to ask what he was doing she soon got her answer. It felt so strange but she couldn't deny it was....nice. Her tongue shied away from his own, almost as if in a game of tag. She wasn't quite sure what to do next, trying to awkwardly hold him as he held her so close.

				Lorenso felt his passion inflame as her lips touched his. His tongue pressed on passed her lips, chasing hers, catching it then twirling his tongue around hers, gentle yet controlling. He pulled her in tightly her small round breasts pushing against his chest, exciting new feelings she had never felt before. He pulled away from her lips. "If you are to be his, then first I will awken you to a new world of pleasure my sweet Lenally." His hand traced a path from her soft neck to the clevage of her dress. "Tonight, you are a lady, relax and let your man teach you of pleasure you could never imagine." Lorenso gripped the material at her bust, pulling it down, exposing her breast. He dove down on it, his lips quickly wrapping around her soft aereola, he softly flick his tongue over the tip of her nipple, shooting new sensations down her spine.

				"L...Lorenso I...." Lenally tried to protest, hearing her voice change. It had a huskier sound, and her breathing was heavy as she felt him draw her closer until their bodies were pressed together very intimately. When he'd pulled away from the kiss she'd looked at him so confused, feeling as if she'd done something wrong but soon felt his fingers leaving a burning trail newly felt desires down to her bosom. She gulped and felt it pause there, as he told her to let her man awaken her womanly urges. "B....but I..." she gasped, soon feeling him grip the hem of her dress and yank it down, his lips diving for her bust as they took one of her nipples into his mouth. <br><br>Her eyes widened and she lifted her hands to try and push him back, a soft, innocent moan escaping her lips as she felt his tongue flicking across that pebbling bud. She felt so strange but so wonderful as she let out another soft cry. "Lo....re...nso..." she tried to speak, sounding as if she were making an effort to protest, a very poor one.

				He could only smile as the mewing protest turned to innocent gasps and moans. His manhood pressed hard against his trousers, but he controlled himself, intent only on her pleasure. Pulling down the rest of her dress, he exposed both the soft mounds of her chest. Gently twirling his tongue over one nipple as his finger worked the other, burning a trail of pleasure straight to her awakening sex. His other hand held her body in soft, caring imbrace as he worked her body.

				She'd never felt anything like this. She'd always fought so hard against it, punching, fighting, beating the shit out of anyone unfortunate enough to attempt a move on her. But now, feeling Lorenso's lips on her, his fingers reaching towards the other now exposed breast she felt dizzied, in a good way. Her head rolled forward, her lips parted in soft, sweet little moans as she tried to stop shaking from embarrassment and bashfulness.<br><br>Soon however, she felt a hand moving towards her most delicate place. "W....wait I....I can't...." she moaned out, despite her body insisting that he continue, her back arching slightly.

				His hand continued to travel up the softness off her inner thigh. Reaching her panties, he gently teased along the length of them, before sliding his fingers inside. Lorenso ran them through the soft hair above her sex, to her small, budding clotoris, feeling a wetness upon her. "Shhh my darling lenally, I will look after you, my princess." His fingers began to gently stimulate her clit, his lips leaving her body to gently kiss her lips. His other arm held her, gently yet commanding, as he lovingly looked into her eyes

She felt warmth and wetness down there, and tried to pull back from being startled but felt his other arm holding her so firmly but gently. His lips stopped further moans as he gently kissed her. Soon she felt her hips beginning to move against his gentle stroking of her clit. She looked into his eyes a moment, then bashfully looked away, burying her head on his chest as she felt herself liking this.

				Lorenso gently began undoing the ties on her dress as he continued to twirl his fingers over her clit, letting it fall away as he removed the last knot. He layed her gently down on her back, spreading her legs wide. He fought hard the yearning to take her right there. His middle finger gently parted the softest lips he had ever felt, sliding into her sex. He gently curled it upwards, finding her more sensitive spots quickly with years of experience. He pushed her body to new limits as he whispered in her ear. "I love you lenally... I love you"

				Lenally felt her senses overwhelmed as he began to untie her dress, knowing she should try and stop him but unable to do so. All she could manage were soft moans, embarrassed, bashful, full of desire. She tried to cover herself, unused to being seen without her chest being bound back. When he began to part her lower folds she drew a sharp intake of breath. She hadn't come here for this. She'd only wanted to comfort him, having befriended him. And yet she felt so good, she wanted to stay. When he whispered that he loved her, she looked to him stunned. They'd not known each other so long but she felt his words to be true.<br><br>"I....I...." she tried to speak, his skilled hands taking her to heights of pleasure she'd never known possible. She writhed under his tender manipulations of her body as she tried hard not to be loud, her back arching with pleasure.

She blinked a few times, and buried her head against Lorenso's chest. It felt so warm.

You can be to, come back tomorrow night, I'll teach you how to sword fight, but first I'll teach you a little more about your own flesh" Lorenso slid his finger gently inside of her again, twirled his fingers through her hair, thinking.

"She has more freedom than I do." Lenally said, trying to speak again but feeling one of his fingers slip inside of her again. She groaned, snuggling against him more as he played with her hair and asked her to come visit him again.<br><br>She lifted her head up to look at him when he said that he and Henrik had fought.

				His words relieved her, she didn't want to have to hate him for anything. But it was becoming difficult to concentrate as they spoke, so close together in such a warm embrace as he continued to play with her soft, velvety folds. She gasped again her arms about him innocently. "I....I should....if I stay much longer.........." It is clear from her tone she does not want to leave, but she'd been gone far longer than anticipated, someone at this point would surely notice the young princess missing.

				Lorenso kissed her softly on the lips. "Promise me you will return tomorrow night my love." He looked longingly into her eyes, as his fingers moved faster and faster. "And let me hear you scream this time my princess, let go of your every inhibition, scream like a woman screams." His fingers worked her, pushing her to the edge, his lips pressed against her neck.

				She flushed as he began to build up speed, thrusting into her faster and faster as she began to grind against him, her body taking control as she moaned, still trying not to make too much noise. But as he pleaded with her to scream, to let go, she couldn't hold it back any longer. As his lips kissed at her neck, she felt herself climax again, moaning loudly as her eyes closed, her back arching heavily as she again fell to his bed, shuddering in delight.<br><br>She could barely nod as he told her to promise she would return. She wanted to sleep but knew she would have to return to the party or find a reasonable excuse as to why she had to retire early.<br><br>She attempted to sit up, still a little wobbly from the pleasures she'd just experienced as she tried to put her clothing back on. Her cheeks still reddened as she heard Lorenso's gentle words, calling her <em>My love</em>. She never thought she'd want to hear those words. Now they sounded so sweet, so beautiful.

				Lorenso steadied her, putting his arms around her waist. He softly kissed her neck and cheek, whispering sweet compliments in her ear. He helped her with her dress, doing up the back for her. When she was fully dressed he sat with her in his lap, brushed her hair, helped her look presentable. All the time soft caring hands ran along her bare shoulders, as he continued to compliment her beauty. <br><br>When she was ready to leave he took her hand and led her onto the balcony; the stars shining bright above the city, a scene usually only found in lenally's secret romantic novels. "I know in the tourney tomorrow you will have to wear your new husbands colours, and cheer for him, but..." He moved to the edge of the balcony, lined with flowers. He picked a red rose, pulling off the thorny stem. "wear this as well, as a sign, so I know you are watching me." He placed it in her hand, and lent in for one last kiss.

				Lenally looked gratefully to Lorenso as he held her so she wouldn't fall clumsily on her face or buttocks and blushed a little as he helped lace her dress up so she was no longer naked (though she found herself quite disappointed she had to dress and leave). She shivered each time his hands made gentle caresses to her shoulders, his whispers making her lean back against him in his arms. She did pout a little as he brushed her hair, hating having to go back to looking like a lady again.<br><br>She looked a bit shyly as Lorenso led her onto the balcony and looked out at the view of the city, eyes widening in awe. It truly was a sight to see, the city lit up against the darkened sky. At the mention of her husband, Lenally couldn't help but scowl a little. Now she wanted to marry Gerrard even less. "He's not my......not yet." she grumbled, watching him pick a rose to hand to her. She met his gaze, her own warm and fuzzy&nbsp; with adoration and love as he asked her to wear it as a secret sign. She chuckled a little. "I think if I wear a flower my brother will be suspicious of something." When he leaned in, she leaned forward to kiss him, not wanting it to end but eventually having to tear herself away. "I'll have to come up with one hell of a lie..." she said, holding the flower. Then, with a saddened face, she looked about, and scurried away, looking forward to tomorrow night as the butterflies in her stomach started up again.<br><br>**Moving to Theiri public rooms**

				Lorenso couldn't help but smile when she complained of him calling Gerrard her husband. He was reminded that she wasn't a normal Theiri maiden when she said she would need an excuse to wear his token; flowers being commonly seen on their clothes, only occasionally from an ilicit lover. Lorenso drank in her last kiss as if her lips were made of silk. The saddened face when they parted made him feel bad, but he knew it was from real love. "remember!" he called "look for me tomorrow night my darling" as she closed the door to his room.<br><br>Lorenso went and opened a box in his room, taking a cigar. He had gotten a taste for them as a teenager on the trading caravans in the south. Lighting it, he sat down with a drink at his telescope, and looked at the stars

She began to pace her room, looking at all the weapons hanging about and continuing for quite awhile until she eventually came to pause and look towards the training grounds.

Not yet.<br><br>Instead, she dressed into her regular clothes, still binding her chest back as she began to train in her room, trying to ponder the events of the day.

				Lorenso let out a sigh as he finished his smoke, feeling slightly calmer. His presence would be expect thoughout the dinner, and he grudgingly pick himself up out the chair and prepared himself to return. He picked up the sword he had thrown in his rage, placing it in his scabbard. His mind flicked back to young Lenally, she reminded him of the early days with the king, a time when things were simple in Lorensos life, and his one job was to guard his friend. <em>...seems I couldn't even do that.</em><br><br>On his way out, Lorenso walked past the library, picking up a book written by his friend. "Philosophy of love and the arts of pleasure". One of his earliest books, before he took the throne, he had been so passionate in those days.

				Lenally's dreams were filled with unusual elements that made her blood rush to her most intimate places and her body ache. She imagined Lorenso embracing her, kissing her deeply as his hands wandered. She even let out a soft cry in her sleep. No one had ever, ever, gotten away with such intimacies with her. She hadn't tried to slug him....why? She felt herself wanting him beside her, holding her.<br><br>Then she also dreamed of Gerrard. She didn't like him too terribly much, but she felt such sadness that he lost his father at such a crucial time. Even as her own father had struck her so publicly, he was still her father and Lenally knew that he was capable of tenderness. When she "played the part" of a lady, he was an affectionate father, when she was obstinate, he disciplined her harshly. But still, she'd be crushed as well to hear in the midst of a feast that he were dead, and did feel the need to attempt to be somewhat kind to Gerrard. <br><br>She laid there beneath the thick, soft and warm blankets on her other side, the bruising of her father's slap present on her cheek. The smell of salty tears that had been shed in private, Lenally would never cry in public, and would only cry to a person if it was her brother.

				Hearing the silence in the room pierced by muffled sobs, Gerrard steps in, his eyes searching in the wan light. His eyes long adjusted, he soon finds Lenally, curled up beneath the thick down blank. The blankets twitch as she shudders with each halting breath. Pulled tight around her, the covers make her appear like a large bound shuddering mass. Walking quietly across the sturdy flooring, only the most gentle whispers of cloth against cloth escape him. <br><br>Gerrard leans over the bed to look closer, almost as though he cannot control himself, riding a rail down a mountain. He can't help but reach down to wipe away her tears, as he notes that she is deep asleep. She can feel his touch even in the depths of her tear soaked slumber, as she twists and turns away from the gentle hands wiping away her tears, the touch light enough to tickle, he notices the heavy red marks across her cheek, the impressions of heavy jewel encrusted rings, the pin point near punctures of each individual jewel's edges seeming to be a mark of pain. His eyes tracking each mark, he can feel a flurry of emotions given rise inside. <br><br>Absconding from the room for but a few moments, Gerrard moves as silently as the night. He makes his way through a short series of long forgotten passages in the castle to his own room to retrieve the small kit he maintains for use to treat the bruising from his own training and the wild sessions with women from the town's darker side. He quickly returns to Lenally's room, to find her still asleep though her tears have slowed. <br><br>Opening the kit, with the ease of long practice he begins making a small poultice for bruising that promotes healing for the short term. The poultice though very useful is mildly toxic with prolonged and repeated use, as well with any wounds that would allow it directly into the blood stream in any concentration. After soaking the poultice in water for a few moments he presses it to&nbsp; her cheek gently, working to seal it along the edges so that it remains stuck to her cheek.

				Something had brushed her cheek. Something was...tender. It wiped her tears away, carefully as if trying not to awaken her from her sleep. But it had tickled her cheek, and she rolled away with a groan, revealing the bruised cheek from her father's discipline.<br><br>She thought she'd heard footsteps moving away. Had Henrik come to check on her? What if it had been Lorenso? She wasn't certain, but whatever it was left and she began to slip inside the warm comforts of sleep. However it wasn't too long before she felt the slight sting of a poultice to her cheek. She began to stir more, now beginning to come out of her sleep. <br><br>"Go away..." she groaned. "I don't want to put on another goddamn dress and if father catches you in here you'll be whipped Henrik." she muttered beginning to turn her head as her eyelids showed signs of opening.

				Reigning in his initial burst of anger, hearing another's name upon her waking lips, he feels it cool as he connects the name to a face. He moves silently as he turns away from her to gather together his heavy bruising kit. Returning to her side to check the poultice his eyes look over everything before he checks the adhesives on the edges of the poultice. Leaning over her closely examining his work on the poultice, he doesn't notice Lenally's eyes start to flutter and scrunch up&nbsp; as she exiles herself from the land of dreams and nightmares.

				Lenally had not expected to see the face leaning in to investigate her own to be that of Gerrard. For a moment, her brown eyes blinked as she let her brain catch up with her vision. Next however, she almost flew out of the bed, about to shriek with surprise and rage.<br><br>"W....what the fuck are you doing in here!?" she hissed, feeling her heart racing wildly as she tried to calm herself, her hands balling into fists as she rolled her nightgown sleeves up, more than ready to deck him. Surely he'd come to do something indecent, but then she felt the poultice again on her cheek as she brought a hand to it. It was chilled from the water in her basin which she'd held briefly to her cheek earlier.<br><br>She looked a bit surprised as she tried to calm down, still watching Gerrard warily. "Did you.....do this..?" she said quietly, pointing to the poultice on her cheek.

				Gerrard backs up as she awakens, his eyes narrow as she curses out in surprise at his presence. Standing respectfully back as she rolls up her nightgown's sleeves, he listens and waits for her to notice his handiwork. <br><br>"Yes, that is my work. You should be careful to not leave it on for more than the night, but your cheek will be healed up flawlessly by morning make sure to keep it moist." Gerrard's eyes harden as he says it, leaving little doubt in Lenally's mind that Gerrard is infuriated that she was struck, let alone that it left marks on her.

				Lenally's gaze softened a little, as she looked away not certain how to react. This same man who'd only hours ago had the look of one who would have ripped her dress off and publicly taken her was now bandaging her bruised, swollen cheek. She was not sure at all of herself, and felt conflicted as to how to act. <br><br>She could also sense his ire at her being struck at all. She still looked away a bit. "I...it's nothing. I misbehaved." she said, simply enough. It was the truth, but she wasn't certain how Gerrard would react.<br><br>She swallowed her pride a moment and attempted to smile a little. "Thank you.....and I'm sorry about...I'm sorry about your father." she said, knowing how badly the king's passing had also affected Lorenso. She wasn't sure what else to say as she looked up at Gerrard.

				When she mentions misbehaving she can almost see the angry fire behind his piercing eyes. <br><br>"My father was a good man, but whether royal, noble, merchant, peasant, or beggar, all are just men nothing more. He taught me much, and helped me learn even more. But now is not the time for reminiscing, perhaps later if you wish we can speak more of it and for the moment it is all too fresh a wound to worry.<br><br>"What concerns me more is that you were struck, in anger," the pure disdain dripping from his words is clear. "Such idiocy is unforgivable, what more I have reason to guess that the person who did this is your father, someone that will have to be negotiated with if we seek to have any peace. A fool who strikes his daughter in anger is not one who should remain welcome near his daughter." Lenally can tell that he would much rather be providing the fool a taste of his own medicine, but realizes the dangers of taking a rod to a visiting head of state in his sleep. <br><br>"If you are willing, I would like you to stay near me for the time being in public. I will not accept a man who beats his daughter as anything more than a pest to be quashed, but as a negotiating partner he must live. I will not allow him to strike you as long as you are near me so that I can take such actions on my own." He approaches her as he is speaking, each step silent but with purpose as one hand comes up to stroke her bruised cheek with a gentleness she wouldn't have expected, but reminds her so much of the pleasant touch she had begun awakening to.

She hadn't cried when he struck her, showing her true Aserit spirit by not showing weakness.<br><br>Lenally nodded a little, dropping the subject of the late king of Theiri. She listened as Gerrard spoke, hearing the anger dripping from his voice. Her eyes widened, it sounded as though Gerrard would wish to strike her father in retaliation for striking her. She was stunned, she expected something like this from Lorenso but was floored that Gerrard was so thoroughly incensed by her father's choice of disciplinary tactics.<br><br>"I should not have left but I wanted to be away awhile." she said, again being a dutiful daughter, but she felt herself suddenly unable to hate Gerrard as much as she hated him before. She bit her lip as he spoke of wanting to keep her beside him in public, away from her family. She felt a slight flush at her cheek as he brought up a hand to stroke her bruised cheek. <br><br>In typical Lenally form she stepped back and looked away. She felt such confusion, being with Lorenso, now Gerrard. She wasn't certain of all this and longed to go to the training arena. She kept her eyes down. "I'm not a wilting lily, I can take a hit or two." she said, he can hear a slight quiver in her voice, hinting at her surprise of his actions and all that had happened. "I can handle it."<br><br>The look she gave him was a bit of a smirk. "Hold up your hand and I'll prove it." Lenally waited until Gerrard lifted his hand to hold it in place. Once he was ready she stood up and rolled her shoulders to stretch, not caring if he got any enjoyment out of it as she prepared herself to finally hit something.

				Gerrard smiles a bit, a humor that is out of place twinkles behind his eyes as a smile touches the corners of his mouth. There is little doubt that emotions are at war within him, the empty space in his life, where his father died, yes the humor of letting a waif of a girl play punching bag with his hand still flickers back and forth upon his face.<br><br>"You're quite talented I see, but I feel I should make sure that you are aware, not all things are ever quite as they seem," his tone reinforces his posture, far too relaxed. The utter nigh inhuman calm of the moment seems to bring a sublime peace to him before it fades. <br><br>"Strike when you are ready," as he holds his hand, ready to take her strike.

				Caught by surprise at the intensity of her strike, Gerrard almost misses the opportunity to deflect and grapple her. Lenally finds in a flash that the hand she struck for again seems to disappear from her line of sight and then snake around her wrist, twisting and pulling as he steps back, only to find herself in a firm arm bar pressing her tightly to his front. The lean muscles she feels against her hand leave little from the tatters of her expectations moments ago, it seems Gerrard isn't as much of a prissy princess as she had thought. Lenally's struggles press her tighter against him, as he feels more of him, reminding her that he is very much a male. <br><br>Whispering into her ear, she feels his breath hot and moist against her neck, "Things are never quite what they appear to be, you are so much more than the seeming wannabe warrior princess. You move with grace, with eager anticipation of the battle lust, like any seasoned warrior, but you have not been jaded by the horrors of the fields." Gently she feels the touch of lips to her neck, teasingly light but more than enough to give rise to her blood pressure. Slipping back from the kiss she can almost taste his breath upon her skin, splashing across her bare unprotected neck, the arm bar keeping her back against him. She can feel the shift in his weight and hold as his other hand comes up to cup her cheek, his forearm brushing across her flat muscled stomach. He gently turns her to meet his gaze, as he leans in to kiss her tenderly, deeply. He doesn't seem to take from her with his kiss, but seems to be trying to stir something within her, his touch lightens as the kiss goes on. After what feels like years still locking lips with the petite princess in his grasp he starts to explore with his tongue.

				Lenally's eyes widen as the hand she tried to go for again vanished from her line of sight. One moment, Gerrard's hand was to her wrist, spinning her about and pinning her to him. Her backside pressed against his chest as she felt his muscles. She'd grossly misjudged him, something she would not do again in the future. She feels a slight flush, gritting her teeth as she tries to struggle against him. She tries to ignore the fact that she can feel he's enjoying this encounter quite a bit.<br><br>"L...let me...let me go..." she hissed, struggling as she tried to ignore the breath against her neck. It reminded her of Lorenso but this was quite different. Gerrard apparently had been studying her quite thoroughly since her arrival, he could read her as well as San, though not quite so well as her brother Henrik. Lenally cried out as she felt a set of lips to her neck, trying to struggle further and ignore the warmth rising from her as she felt a hand cup her cheek and turn her face to him as his forearm went about her waist. "Unhand me you fuc-!?!" she tries to shriek, as she feels Gerrard's lips press against hers. Her eyes widen, and she struggles further. She did not want to feel anything for him, she did not want to think of Gerrard intimately but his kiss was drawing things out of her. She continued to resist, but his kiss soon caused her to relax against him, her struggling ceasing. When he tried to explore with his tongue, she couldn't stop him.<br><br>His kiss was different, but as hard as she tried to hate him she was finding it difficult. She could not understand any of this, as he began to kiss her deeply.

				<em>N...no I.....Lorenso.....</em>, Lenally tried again to struggle, but as she was turned around Gerrard put his hand behind her head, cradling her while his other slipped about her waist.

				As Lenally pulls back from the kiss, the color rising to her cheeks, Gerrard's eyes never leave hers. Sensing her pulling away he advances slowly still holding her close, supporting her and maneuvering her to avoid pitfalls, but she soon finds herself back against the wall. His hands seek out her form, but seem to find exquisite beauty in her, not the tawdry lusts she would have expected. While certainly aroused, he seems to maintain utter control of himself adjusting quickly as he explores her body, without ever stripping away a bit of cloth, nor slipping beneath.

				Lenally gasped, feeling him press her body against the wall as he stared at her so deeply. She felt herself get even redder, trying hard to avoid feeling aroused but she couldn't help it. She struggles a bit more as he began to feel all over her, not even once trying to dip below the fabric of her night clothes. She can feel something harden close to her belly, but he doesn't attempt to do anything forceful. He seems to only want to pleasure her, not be lusty or indecent. "G....Gerrard...." she tries to protest, her voice already becoming thick with need as she tried hard to fight it. She felt that urge to cry, having felt this feeling once today and now again. She wished this was Lorenso, but felt herself not disliking Gerrard's touch either. It frightened her.

				Gerrard pauses for the barest of moments as she whimpers his name. "What is it my dear?," his voice conveys certain concern, though it is husky with desire. He returns to gently kiss at her neck, feathery and light at her throat, but deeper, and far more sensual at the jugular. As he continues to tease, she can feel one of his hands firmly massaging her firm buttocks, whilst his other gently cups and teases her breasts, his lips leaving a fiery trail to turn to ice in the night at as the moisture cools off rapidly taking the heat of their rapidly rising desires with it. After a time one hand slips into her hair to once again cradle her head and pull her deeper into his kisses. Eventually she realizes through the heat and lust, he's doesn't force, he teases and adjusts position, but anything she resists he stops, he's not going to force her, he's bringing her pleasure as only a lover would, without desire for his own very clearly illustrated needs would suggest by the bulge pressed against her stomach, throbbing powerfully with his pulse.

				"I...I...." she tries again to fight him, her mind a haze of confusion, desire, lust, and feelings developing where she still tries to resist. "N...no more..." she pleaded, only half-heartedly. She tries to restrain a moan as his lips descend to her neck, feeling his hands grasping gently at her buttocks before one hand makes it's way to her breasts. She attempts to move away once more but he merely adjusts his hand to deepen the kiss. She wanted to beg him to continue, but she wanted to feel Lorenso's touch all the same. She felt torn and it had been but one day. She knew Gerrard wanted more,&nbsp; she knew that Lorenso wanted more, but neither man wanted to force or push her. While her lips protested, her body started to disobey her a little by responding slightly more to his touches. "I...I can't.." she mewled a little, face flushed and breathing heavy. It's obvious she doesn't truly want to stop, but at the same time it has been a rather trying day for Lenally.

				His whisper is but a siren's call to her body driven beyond her control well into rebellion, as his breath still hot and wet washes across her skin, so intense in contrast to the cool of the bedroom night. "Is that what you desire? Do you wish me to stop, even as your body is realizing that this is only the beginning. The pleasures and the needs it yearns for, that you yearn for are all here, once you can admit to yourself that you are ready for them. That you want the needs to be fed, the desires that no one else knows of, the desire to be pressed down and ravaged even as you are worshiped to be helpless before the ecstasy and agony of desires ridden hard but kept just beyond your touch?"<br><br>Lenally can feel his hand on her ass pull her up the wall slowly, as her feet leave the ground she can feel his other hand sliding down her back, fingers clawed, dragging his nails gently down her spine before changing to grasps her firm and shapely rear and support her as he teases her right up the wall. The sudden change in sensations brings emphasis even more to the waves of need pulsing throughout her body.

				Lenally's eyes couldn't get any wider as she felt him lift her up against the wall, and she groaned feeling him press against her, her chest heaving uncontrollably. She couldn't even think straight with all the sensations flooding her now, moaning softly as he spoke. His words were not far from the mark, since Lorenso had so lovingly introduced her not that long ago to the pleasures of the flesh she was now beginning to understand why it was so tempting. <br><br>"I....I don't want......." she again tries to wriggle out of his grasp, flushed and panting. She was definitely a fighter, well worth charming.

				"What is it that you don't want my dear one?," as he licks sensually at her neck up to nibble gently at her earlobe, before comes back down to meet her eyes. "Or perhaps you would like me to stop this?," as he lowers her just enough so that she can feel the indelibly and impressively male bulge pressing against her nethers, as he kisses her deeply, slowly exploring her mouth with his tongue teasing her every moment.<br><br>Lenally can feel Gerrard's heart rate increase intimately, with each beat the pulse is transmitted through the pressure in her nethers, though not a bit of clothing has left their bodies. His ardor leaves her wondering quite how much he has, and perhaps how long he might last, from the rumors that appears like roaches.

				She had a hard time of answering him as he dove in before she could respond, his tongue diving after hers so deeply. She tried not to look into his green eyes but couldn't help it, flushed and embarrassed. She could feel his arousal as it pressed against her as Gerrard leaned further into her. She gasped a little bit and tried to move away again.<br><br>His heart was racing just as much as hers. Her body very much wanted to continue, but her heart was extremely conflicted, doing battle now as she tried to understand all that had happened. She couldn't wriggle away but Gerrard could clearly see that Lenally was near breathless, and uncertain. But definitely aroused regardless.

				Never breaking from Lenally's gaze , Gerrard lifts her once more as he shifts a hand to the small of her back to brace her as he moves her back to the bed' The steps she can make out through the haze of desire are not labored or rushed, he leans back and then sits down Lenally's legs spread across him, straddling him, as he then leans back and stretches out with her on top of him. The arm at her back shifts up to stroke he back gently, as he seems to almost suddenly stop the teasing. The other hand reaches up and strokes her cheek, sliding gently down her jawline before lifting her lips to his, tasting her moans as he kisses her. The kiss, if nothing else, is long and deep, but nothing is fevered about it beyond his pulse, still throbbing betwixt her thighs. As she breaks the kiss, Gerrard simple lies there breathing slowly, holding her close, his head tilted down to look at her. Something of his position, or perhaps his body language leaves nothing to doubt, he cares about her, not just as a woman, not just as a princess, not just as a trophy or political tool, but as a person.

				Lenally hated how his gaze kept her so desperately trapped. Much like Lorenso's she felt Gerrard's gaze bewitch her, drawing her in like a rabbit to a carrot. She gulped as she felt his hand to the small of her back, bright red as he lays on the bed and she finds herself on top of him. She can feel his manhood between his legs, and her eyes widen sufficiently, as she looks away, trembling innocently. When he pulls her into a kiss, she finds herself responding, whether she wants to or not. She pulls away after awhile, trying hard to gather her thoughts amidst the cloud of desirous thoughts. She looked at him again and saw his gaze, and felt like she might cry. Now she wanted to hate Gerrard....because she was beginning to feel almost as strongly for him as she already felt for Lorenso. She wasn't certain what to do, but she knew she wasn't ready as she simply trembled and bashfully looked away.<br><br>"I.....I should.....should rest." she said, a hand shakily going to the cheek with the poultice on it.

				Whispering to her, his voice soft but Lenally can hear the desires in him straining his own self control. "You've never had someone see you as a person have you?" Something of his tone reminds her of someone who has walked a strange path to get where he is now. In the wan twilight of the room, she can see lines in his features that would be invisible anywhere else, he places enormous pressures on his actions, he has stepped outside of the bounds of the acceptable, but yet he has never lost the core of who he is. His pain now just enhances his features, bringing to light what only a few decades would have, the cunning of a master thief, the cold drive that only an assassin could surpass, and the determination of one who was born to lead hides yet behind the mask of the playboy and womanizer she has heard spoken of.<br><br>Hearing Lenally request to rest, she can feel him nod lightly, as he gently shifts and rolls her over onto her side. "You're right, the rest will help you heal, I shouldn't have accosted you as I did," he takes a deep bow before her in apology, before pulling the covers over her and tucking her in, "May your dreams be ambrosia for your soul, wings for your heart, and peace for your mind," then places a feathery light kiss upon her forehead and each eye that closes, before a slow one full of an emotion few would imagine him capable of before he starts towards hidden exit.<br><br>Gerrard strides back towards the secret entrance with a strange starkness inside knowing that he doesn't want to leave, but he comments quietly as he walks away, "Remember, royals like us never truly get to follow our hearts except in our escapes from our gilded cages, but when the heart and the duty are entwined to but a single purpose all the world must move aside lest they be trampled underfoot never to see the glory of what will be."<br><br>Before he closes the secret, he spares one last glance back at her, one he knows he should not take. Lenally watching him walk away can see the wan light reflecting back from his eyes, like twin emeralds in the darkness of the night.

				His whisper, his words made her freeze. She felt it hit a part of her deep within. She knew she was loved but she wondered if her parents truly saw her for who she was and not just a daughter for marriage. She couldn't help but meet Gerrard's gaze once more as she saw the lines and contours of his face as she began to see beyond the facade he had up in the presence of others. Was he truly the roguish oaf she thought he was? His attitude now suggested otherwise.<br><br>She was glad but yet felt that same disappointment she'd felt when she'd had to leave Lorenso as Gerrard nodded when she asked to rest, as he slid out from under her and rolled her onto her side.&nbsp; She normally would have told him that his words made her ill, but in this moment she couldn't say such a thing. His kisses didn't seem as detestable as he kissed first her forehead, then her eyes. Then that kiss to her lips....she made herself pull away.She flushed and ducked under the covers somewhat bashful.<br><br>"I....it is alright I...." she said, trying to speak through the sheet, her voice muffled as she tries to tell him not to worry about apologizing, but she stopped herself. Why was she forgiving his actions? Didn't she want to punch him instead?<br><br>She saw him step back and begin to head towards a secret entrance and his words shot through her. She knew there was no way he could have known unless he had spies, but it was as if he knew and yet didn't. She wasn't certain how to feel then, frightened. But his next words she understood. He was trying to win her love...he did not want a complacent bride, someone who went in to a marriage simply as a political arrangement. That made her heart do a bit of a spin. She did feel the same way.<br><br>She saw him turn to look at her, and wasn't certain she should ask him to say. He could see the conflict in her eyes. "G...Gerrard...." she started to speak. She didn't move but she didn't know why she felt like she wanted him to stay.

				Gerrard hears her call his name just before the passageway shuts, and catches. He re-opens the doorway and walks over to her his eyes seeking hers, his heart beating an ever increasing speed. He leans in close to her, his green eyes still shining in the dark of the night.<br><br>"Never forget that for me in the here and the now, both my heart and my duty are one, melded and fused in purpose. I will see it through, nothing will stand in the way except time." He leans in and kisses her forehead once again before he turns away and walks with a heavy heart away from her, though he wishes only to stay. Sighing to himself in silence, he closes the passageway, leaving not a sign of his presence but for his poultice, the kit at his side.

				When he left, Lenally sat there, the kiss he'd placed on her forehead like a searing promise. She put&nbsp; a hand to her lips, and felt so perplexed. She felt tears threaten to sting her eyes. In one day, was it possible that she had fallen in love twice?<br><br>She looked at the dresses, and she wanted so desperately to burn them. They were the cause of all this! But at the same time, as angry and confused as she felt she felt such burning desire. She felt the need to be touched, the ache between her legs, her breasts, all of it. She was not used to feeling womanly feelings and looked about, making sure no one else was about.<br><br>She laid down, curled up, and let herself cry it out. Only one other person in the world had seen her tears, and she prayed no one else would. She was not weak.<br><br>Her dreams were haunted by visions of Lorenso and Gerrard. She couldn't stop her mind from imagining both men bringing her the pleasures of the flesh, both pursuing her. She wasn't certain what to do. After awhile, she was unable to sleep, her mind too clouded with her thoughts as she rose up, got dressed again in her boyish clothes and flattened her bust. She went over and looked in the mirror, feeling better. This was who she was, she had to hold onto it. She would fight being a woman as much as she could, but felt it was much harder now than it was before she'd crossed the threshold of the Theiri Castle. When she heard the click of a door opening she turned around, not certain who it could be. Could Gerrard be back? "What is it no.....? Lorenso...?" she said, startled. He saw her dressed as a boy again, apparently she could not sleep.

				As he strode into the the room he embraced her without saying a word. Passionately locking his lips with hers. He allowed his tongue to explore her mouth, his hands running along her back before pulling away. "My love" He said simply, nothing more needed to be said. She looked even more beautiful in the dim candle light of her room, but he had noticed she had dressed again as she had for training, so desperate to look less feminine. His smile faded when he saw her cheek. "Are you hurt my love? what happened to you?"

				Lenally was stunned. Her night had gone from simple to so complex in such a short time, she felt her world spinning. How did he.....her parents....she opened her mouth to speak but his arms wrapped about her pulling her close. "Lorenso I...!?" again, cut off by his lips and tongue as he kissed her so deeply before pulling back and noticing her face. <br><br>"O...oh...." she stepped back, brushing it off as if it were nothing. "I got in trouble for leaving dinner without permission. My....my father backhanded me. I told him I was chasing cats." she said quietly. She bit her lip. "G...Gerrard came and fixed it." the flush of her cheeks would easily tell Lorenso that something had happened otherwise but he would notice easily that she hadn't done too much either.<br><br>She saw him eye her clothes. "I like to dress this way." she said simply.

				He smiled, stroking his fingers through her hair. "I fell for you dressed like that, do you not remember." He placed his hand on her stomach, as he had done when practicing their dueling, only now, it showed his true meaning. He kissed her. "Do not worry, I will look after you" He smiled, he could tell that no doubt Gerrards wandering hands had been upon her. It infuriated him, but he didn't let it show. No doubt he would be forced to save any indecency for there wedding night. "Lenally, my love. The Queen means me to fight in the gladiators arena tomorrow... I... I might not return." A look of concern showed on his face, but not for him, for her.

"But you...you said you are a master at fighting, taking opponents down without killing them! Surely you'll be ok?" she looked up at him with those beautiful brown eyes, blushing a bit at his comment about how he'd fallen for her dressed in those clothes. His hand on her stomach made her shiver, as she now gathered his true meaning for placing it there earlier in the day when she'd been practicing with him and Julie.<br><br>She sat down on her bed, looking upset.

"Every battle is dangerous... and I have the feeling she has placed in it her trained killers... Her assasins and spys to bring me down. It seems I am not of use to her."

				She felt the bed shift a little as he sat beside her. She was confident he would walk out of there alive and well, but even so she knew his words were true. Battles are not children's games, they are matters of life and death. Even the greatest warriors can still be killed. She felt him turn her head to look at him as he spoke, and his deep kiss made her warm all over as she'd felt earlier in his solar. "B....but what will happen....?" she said, trembling. She knew what he was implying, somehow she knew. Hearing his words confirmed it even more. "What if I.......an...and the peace talks I...." she was so flustered, so uncertain as she trembled in his arms. She felt herself falling for him even more than before, but she was still so innocently afraid.

As he did he lent forwards, lying her on her back. A soft finger ran along her cheek, and he gave her the same loving smile she had seen earlier in his solar.He leaned over her, running his tongue along her neck, as his hands began to remove her clothes.

She shivered as his finger stroked her cheek, and that loving smile made her resolve to try and resist begin to melt so quickly. "B...but if I....if I'm not a....a virgin I...." she was trying, but it was easy to hear in her voice that as conflicted as she was she couldn't deny her wants. She cried out as he took her shirt off, unbinding her breasts. She shook again, looking up at him. "W...will you leave me...?" she said softly. She didn't want him to leave her, she wanted him with her always.

He kissed her lips, his hands tracing along her hips. His began to let his lips run down her body to the nape of her neck, running his tongue along it, drawing out soft pleasured moans. He pulled his shirt off, underneath it he had the body of a young man. Impressively muscled, he took her hand, placing it on his chiseled chest.

He His hands slid further down as he slid his fingers inside of her shorts, sliding both them and her undergarments down in one swift movement. He saw her nevous shaking and he allowed his fingers to tease along her body a little more, running them up her spine, through her hair. After what seemed like an age he pulled his tongue away from her nipple, taking her hands softly. He kissed her one more time, and placed them on the button of his trousers.

She shuddered again, letting out a soft cry as his hand traveled up her back, tousling her hair a bit.

				Lorenso's trousers fell open, and He slid them down his body, along with his own undergarments, both of them naked together. His lower half was no more impressive than his chest, toned, supple legs, all looking to belong to a man much younger than him. If it wasn't for knowing him Lorenso could be thirty without clothes on. He stroked her hair, held her gently. "Shhh... Don't be scared, I wont hurt you." He smiled back to her. "I love you, my beautiful princess." He kissed her, before taking his hand, gently placing it on his manhood. It throbbed in her hand, impressive in both its girth and length.

				Lorenso started letting out soft moans as she stroked him, removing his hands from hers as she gained in confidence. He still watched her trembling, and he kissed and soothed her neck as she did. His hands slid down her spine, along the curve of her ass, as slowly stroked along the length of her folds, feeling her growing wetness. He teased her, softly running them along her out lips as he smiled. "Take... Take my manhood... In... Your mouth." He said between growing moans, her hand movement becoming all the more braver.

				Lenally moaned softly at his kisses to her neck, she did love that feeling, soft lips to her sweet neck. It did make the trembling ease away a little, as she looked up surprised when he asked her to take him into her mouth. She again gulped, looking innocently down at his hardness as she slowly made her way down. She saw how hard he was, and nervously moved over it, slowly enfolding his member with her soft lips. It felt so strange, yet so nice. She looked up at him for guidance.

				Lorenso moaned as he felt the warmth envelop in his head. He slid a finger inside of her, gently teasing her more sensitive areas as his hand moved to her head, seeing in her eyes a plea for guidance. "Move your head, like this, and move your tongue along it." He gently guided her head up and down the length of his shaft, watching as the fear slowly dissipated, before removing his hand again. He laid back on the bed, letting out a soft moan and closing his eyes, the feel of her tongue ecstasy upon him.

				As he tenderly showed her how to please a man, she began to gain more confidence in her movements. Her tongue rolled about his member as her lips held fast but gently to his manhood. She moved her head so perfectly, goaded on by his pleasured cries. She felt that finger slip inside her sex, and let out a slight, muffled cry. She felt so good, so strange. She was so happy.

				Lorenso let out a loud gasp, arching his back as he pleasure her. He felt so alive. He teased and played with her body, as she played with his. He let her lead, growing her confidence, making her feel like a woman. eventually, he finally slid her head off of his sex and passionately locked his lips with her. He laid her on her back, spreading her legs. "I love you my princess... Are you ready?" He stroked the hair from he face. and stared into her eyes lovingly

				Lenally felt so different than she normal felt, she felt like a woman. She'd always hated it before, now for some reason it felt so wonderful as they pleasured each other's bodies so beautifully. When he moved her off and pulled her to his lips, she wrapped her arms around him, enjoying running her fingers through his hair as they kissed so deeply. Then she was on her back, and she looked up at him, then down again as he spread her legs, as she gulped. She was, and yet she wasn't. When he stroked her face,and asked her if she was ready, she could only nod a little, closing her eyes as she braced herself.

				Lorenso smiled, diving his lips to meet hers as his hips press forward, the head of his manhood spreading her open. His tongue wrapped around hers as he held her in a tight passionate embrace. He reached her hymen, paused to let her become comfortable, before pushing through, the entire length of his shaft piercing her. He moaned into her lips and a small trickle of blood leaked from her. He held himself deep inside, letting her adjust. He pulled his lips back. "I love you"

				She returned his kiss, still trembling as she felt his hips move forward. Her lips parted as her eyes widened in surprise as she felt him fill her from within. It felt so good, and yet it was a little painful. Soon, he broke through, and she cried out in pain, gasping a bit as a tear tricked down her cheek. She looked up at him, wincing a little as he told her he loved her. "I...I love you....too..." she whimpered.

				He wiped the tear from her eye, she looked the young girl again as she whimpered. He held her tightly, softly stroking her head and soothing her. He kissed her, and slowly began to move his hips. He was gentle, loving, moving in deep impassioned strokes as their tongues danced together.

				She managed a small smile as he wiped her tear away, and was grateful for his tight embrace as he soothed her, stroking her beautiful black hair. She tilted her head to meet his as he leaned in and kissed her, her mouth parting in a delicate moan as she felt his hips starting to move slowly, but passionately. Her legs began to move on their own as of to curl about him as she began to moan a little louder, it thankfully muffled by their kissing.

				Lorenso made and attempt to muffle his moans as he thrust into her body, his hips slowly picking up pace as she curled her legs around him. As she squeezed hold of his hips tightly, he thrust up, slamming into her G-spot. He thrust harder, hitting it over and over as he held her in tight embrace.

				She felt such sensations as he began to pick up the pace, thrusting into her and hitting a place inside of her that made her shiver every time he hit it. She was having trouble smothering her own moans, as she arched her back, pressing her luscious breasts against his own chest as he held her against him. She felt her body beginning to build up to something, as warmth began to grow in her belly.

				He felt the fire in his loins also building, restraining himself getting harder and harder as he softly moaned in her mouth. He Gasped as he felt himself about to climax. "I...I... love you lenally." He locked his lips with her and sank himself deep inside, pumping shot after shot of his seed deep inside of her. He held her tightly, grinding himself inside of her.

				She felt his moan into her lips as they kissed, and felt his body tensing as did her own. She felt his thrusts become firmer, until finally she felt a flood of warmth shoot inside her as her own warmth burst from her. He continued to lovingly grind within her as she felt herself coming down, experiencing the wonders of her first afterglow. She laid there beneath him, catching her breath, her eyes barely open as a sheen of sweat decorated her body.

				<strong>—&gt; From public thread</strong><br><br>Juliette lead Olivia into her quarters. Once they were inside, she sparked the oil lantern and closed the door. The room was large and richly appointed, almost all the furnishings left over by the previous occupant—an ornate dresser with mirror, a long king-size bed with end tables, various well-crafted chairs. There was a window with a fine view of the city. There were two additional doors within, one leading into the wardrobe and the other into the bathing room. The former soldier had made only two additions—a massive bookcase and her desk. The former contained many books on philosophy, history, politics, magic, and warfare, as well as her father’s entire collected works. There were also a few works of fiction, mostly plays Juli was fond of.<br><br>The princess wasted little time in putting aside her book and embracing Olivia closely, enjoying the warmth of the other woman’s body and the feel of their breasts pressed closely together through the fabric of their clothes. Juli then gave the noble a soft and lingering kiss, her mouth playing at Olivia’s lips as she stroked the young lady’s hair.<br><br>Once she finally withdrew, Juli turned around. “I’m afraid I’ll need to get out of this dress if we’re to continue,” she said, looking playfully over her shoulder. “If you could just untie the back...”<br><br>Assuming Olivia does so, Juli finally gets out of the lovely if cumbersome dress that had been annoying her all day and puts it aside on a chair. The heels that had been making her feet a bit sore were next to go. She then removed some hair clips and allowed her long, silken black hair to spill half way down her back. Now clad only in black, lacy panties, the princess’s body was nicely displayed to her new lover—her form was lithe and pale, softly feminine though with a few hints of wiry muscle. There were a couple small and difficult to spot scars, all that remained of potentially lethal wounds healed by magic. Her perky breasts were nicely in proportion to her slender frame, and topped by cute brown nipples that were already showing signs of her sexual excitement. Below them was her flat tummy and narrow waist, which gave way to the gentle curves of her hips and nicely shaped behind. Her legs were very shapely, those of a woman accustomed to running long distances.<br><br>Juli took the other woman’s hand, and brought them over to sit at the edge of her bed. “Are you feeling okay with this so far?” Juli asked softly, gently brushing a stray strand of hair behind Olivia’s ear. “If there’s anything you desire of me, just ask.” she said reassuringly.

				Lorenso lay, gently stroking her body as she rested against him. "My woman, mine and only mine." He smiled, twirling his fingers through her hair. He lent over, looking into her eyes. "Promise me, while I am still breathing you will love no-one else. Promise me." His hand stroked down her cheek, and he kissed her.

"Will you love only me too?" she said softly, her hand resting on his chest.

"You...you must still marry him, and do not worry, many girls can break their hymen before their wedding night in less... pleasant activities." He smiled, kissing her cheek. "A fighting injury...

				She smiled, happy to hear him say he would only be hers. She frowned at the idea of having to marry Gerrard, but felt that he was not at all that terrible, still conflicted towards him despite her strong and deep love for Lorenso. She sighed as he spoke of ways to cover up their love. "What of my sheets....?" she said, she knew long before that royal princess's sheets were checked, to ensure they were still virgins when married off.<br><br>"I will." she vowed, sincerely promising to resist the pleasures that Gerrard might bring her. She would do everything to resist it.

				Olivia took a nervous breath as Juliette stepped inside the bedroom before following her inside, her heart beating within her breast at a rapid pace. However once the door was shut behind her she felt herself becoming more at ease; although she knew no one was watching them outside Olivia was always cautious to never put on display anything which might be used against her. Even more comforting was the way her room was set out, with rich furnishings and books everywhere; it reminded her much of her own room back at Castle Oasis.<br><br>As she looked around Juliette rested her book down and crossed the room towards her, gently taking Olivia into her arms. For a brief moment her body tensed up, unaccustomed to even this level of intimacy, but soon her whole body relaxed into Juliette’s arms, her lips parting to let out a content sigh as she gently laced her arms around the Princesses waist. Her embrace was warm and gentle, making her feel safe.<br><br>Slowly her eyes began to flutter shut, wishing this moment could last forever when all of a sudden she felt Juliette’s soft, full lips pressing up against her own. Almost instantly her heart started to beat at an impossibly fast rate, her cheeks burning with a bright pink blush; it was her first kiss and she didn’t know what to do. Slowly she began to trace her lips along Juliette’s, returning the kiss softly as she prayed that she was doing okay. Those few, precious seconds in her arms felt almost like an eternity, but slowly Juliette began to pull away.<br><br>Olivia tried to use those few seconds before Juliette said anything to quickly regain her composure, smiling warmly as she projected an aura of confidence. However almost just as soon as she was able to gather herself again, Juliette once again caught her by surprise, elegantly turning around and asking her to help remove her dress. She felt her cheeks begin to burn brightly again and she swallowed a nervous lump in her throat. Everything about this was new to Olivia, not just all these physical and emotional sensations but also not being in complete control. For the first time ever Olivia didn’t know what she was doing or how to lead.<br><br>However it seemed that her natural instinct in this situation was to obey, as she slowly reached out with trembling hands to help undo the lacing at the back of Juliette’s dress. As always her actions were practised and precise, although there was little doubt that Juliette would feel the faint trembling as her fingers occasionally brushed down along her spine.<br><br>When she was finished, Juliette started to get undressed, causing Olivia’s eyes to widen slightly as she completely froze. She was unsure of what to do; whether she should get undressed as well or if Juliette was meant to undress her or if she was meant to help undress Juliette. Instead she remained perfectly still, as her eyes began to trail down along the Princess’ body. A single, pearly white tooth began to sink into her bottom lip as her inquisitive eyes took in every flawless detail. Olivia had always been observant, rarely ever missing even the smallest detail, and her eyes began to pick up each and every tiny scar. <br><br>Somehow those tiny imperfections made her even more beautiful, more perfect and she felt herself begin to squirm slightly, rubbing her legs together as a strange feeling washed over her. She accepted Juliette’s hand, following her obediently to the bed and slowly sitting down. She nodded almost instinctively as Juliette asked her if she was okay, her body seeming to act on its own accord before her mind could adapt and warn her against this. A royal affair could ruin everything.<br><br>Slowly Olivia reached out, her small fingers tracing down along the length of a tiny scar on Juliette’s body, one of the first to catch her attention. “You’re beautiful,” she whispered softly, shyly looking up to meet Juliette’s gaze with loving eyes.

				Juli found Olivia’s nervousness very sweet—it reminded the princess of her first romantic encounter. She blushed when the other woman called her beautiful. “Thank you. It means so much to me that you’d let me be with you your first time, Milady.” Juli then noticed where Olivia was touching her. “That was not the best place to stop an arrow,” she added, smiling ruefully at the little imperfection. She quickly pushed aside that memory, as it was far from pleasant.<br><br>The young royal now leaned in and kissed her lover more passionately, and this time her tongue gently intruded into Olivia’s mouth while one of Juli’s hands brushed over the noble’s thigh. Juli felt that familiar heat&nbsp; below, and squirmed just slightly in anticipation. When the kiss was over she looked to the noble with undisguised lust. “I can hardly wait to see all of your beauty laid bare before me. And all I want for tonight is to teach you what pleasure your body can feel. You shouldn’t be nervous—there’s nothing you can do wrong here, so long as you’re willing to discover more about your own desires and be open with what you want from me.”<br><br>The princess paused a moment, to see if Olivia would want to do anything herself, or if Juli ought to continue offering suggestions.

				Olivia’s fingers continued to gently trace their way up and down along the tiny scar on Juliette’s stomach as she listened attentively. This time her eyes were open when the Princess leaned in to kiss her and she slowly leaned in closer as well, meeting her lips softly. She was much more confident in what she was doing this time, always a fast learner, as her lips softly trailing along Juliette’s. The kiss quickly grew more passionate and Olivia felt herself desiring more, whimpering softly in delight as her lips parted to allow Juliette’s tongue to enter. <br><br>When Juliette’s hand came to brush softly along her thigh Olivia felt a soft shiver run down along her spine, that faint, teasing sensation making her crave even more as their lips slowly parted. The way Juliette looked at her with both love and longing made her blush, although her words put her at ease. She was unsure of what to say or do, although she desperately wanted to impress Juliette and show that she was worthy of such attention. Slowly she reached up to slide down the straps of her dress, exposing her shoulders fully before reaching behind herself to undo the lacing. <br><br>Her dress was as fragile as it was elegant, held together by only a few pieces of fabric and as soon as she undid the back the elegant material began to cascade down her body, revealing her perfect spheres of her soft, small breasts. Standing up slowly, the dress began to cascade down along her body as she undid the few restraints keeping it in place, exposing her flat stomach before the fabric fell down past the elegant curves of her hips. It had taken servants several minutes to get the dress on her, and only seconds alone to remove it.<br><br>She stood there for a moment, her lacy black panties the only article of clothing left to cover her body as she blushed. Her entire body was unnaturally pale for someone who had spent most of their life in the desert and neither fat nor muscle adorned her thin physique. Hers was the body of one who did not engage in much strenuous activity, but was not prone to laziness or excess either and as such her thin physique accentuated all of her luscious curves. “I hope I am to your liking, milady,” she whispered softly, trying to hide her nervous embarrassment. <br>

				“You are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen,” Juliette replied, unable to look away as she admired Olivia’s achingly lovely form. “Granted, I knew that even before you took your dress off,” she added playfully.<br><br>Juli stood and stepped behind Olivia, pressing against her. The noble would feel the other woman’s erect nipples against her back, with Juli rubbing up against her shapely behind as well. Juli kissed Olivia many times at her neck and shoulder. One of the princess’s hands cupped Olivia’s breast, gently caressing it and teasing the nipple there. The other hand traced down Olivia’s side, feeling the gentle curve as she felt that narrow waist give way to sexy hips.<br><br>“I want to touch you and kiss you all over,” Juli whispered longingly in Olivia’s ear. “Please lie down on the bed for me, let me do all I can to drive you wild with lust.”

				Olivia’s already flushed face seemed to turn even brighter when Juliette called her the most beautiful woman she had ever seen, and she couldn’t help but giggle when she playfully added that she knew that even before she got undressed.<br><br>As Juliette walked up behind her, Olivia started to lightly press her body back up against her, sinking into her arms. She had never been so close to someone with so few clothes on but even that feeling alone was just as enjoyable as all their more heated actions; her body was warm and soft, making her want to hold her close, especially when she came to feel Juliette’s erect nipples begin to brush against her back.<br><br>As Juliette leaned in to kiss at her neck, Olivia arched her neck slightly to give her better access, flicking her flowing hair out of the way. It was as if ever kiss set her body aflame, leaving a lingering sensation as her lips moved their way down. Her neck was incredibly sensitive and she found herself instinctively rubbing her body back against Juliette’s as she made soft, desperate whimpering noises. <br><br>She craved more and Juliette soon delivered as another hand came around to massage her breast, causing her nipples to display her arousal even before her fingers came around to touching them. <br><br>After what felt like an eternity in Juliette’s arms, the Princess finally told her to lie down. Almost instinctively she obeyed, although she was reluctant to depart from Juliette’s embrace. Surely it can’t get any more pleasurable than this, can it? She thought to herself as she began to lie down on her back, her mind racing as she started to wonder what would happen next.<br>

				Once Olivia was lying down on her back, Juli moved beside her, laying on her side with her body pressed up against the other woman’s. As she passionately kissed Olivia, one of Juli’s hands gently kneaded each of the noble’s perfect breasts in turn. The princess then ran one finger lightly down Olivia’s belly, making her shiver from the sensation.<br><br>Moving onto her knees, Juli began to work her kisses downward from Olivia’s mouth to her neck and finally to her chest. The royal began teasing first one nipple and then the other with her tongue, and then gently tugged on them with her lips. Juli’s hands were not idle during this, caressing the other woman’s legs, her belly, her arms, her hair—she was so eager to explore every inch of the Olivia’s exquisite and supple form.<br><br>Juli’s kisses eventually moved down Olivia’s belly to just above her panties, and then the princess began kissing the pretty noble’s inner thighs. Finally, she began to pull down Olivia’s panties with teasing slowness before finally pulling them down past her legs and tossing them aside. The princess spread Olivia’s legs slightly and knelt between them, admiring her lover’s virginal pussy. Juli looked in to Olivia’s eyes lustfully, hesitating a moment to see if the noble would beg her to stop or to continue.

				Olivia’s head was spinning, overcome by so many new sensations. She began to tremble slightly, a shiver running its way down her spine as Juliette started to run her finger down along her flat stomach. <br><br>As Juliette kissed her way down along her body her breathing began to quicken, her eyes fluttering shut as she whimpered softly in delight. She was already quite wet, although Juliette kept finding ways to make her more and more excited; her hands felt as though they were everywhere at one, every place she touched left with a lingering feeling as they roamed about. <br><br>When she felt Juliette’s lips begin to trail down along her stomach she began to arch her back up, eagerly craving more. A tiny whimper of desperation escaped her lips as those lips brushed down along the inside of her thighs and she lifted her legs up into the air to help Juliette take her panties off.<br><br>Olivia had always been incredibly vain, grooming herself for hours on end and although it had never before been on display to anyone other than herself she was hairless. A soft blush settled upon her face as Juliette looked into her eyes and for a moment she faltered. Once they moved forwards there was no going back; a royal affair which could doom a nation should it ever come to light.<br><br>However Olivia’s mind was overwhelmed with hormones, her body awakening to its physical needs. “I want you,” she whispered desperately, her deep blue eyes pleading for more.<br><br>In the end it was lust over loyalty. <br>

The princess held the other woman’s legs in order to keep her from writhing too vigorously, and enjoyed every moan and cry the lovely noble made. For her part, Juli was just as excited and wet as Olivia, and her cunt just begged for attention—but tonight was Olivia’s first time, and she was where the royal kept her focus.<br><br>Next Juli let her tongue stray to Olivia’s cute clit, wanting to see just how sensitive she was there. And after that, Olivia would feel that teasing, skillful tongue enter her sex. When the princess returned to licking the other woman’s wet pussy lips, she also inserted a finger into the gorgeous noble’s eager twat. Juli let the intensity build up slowly, at first just exploring and then when she judged Olivia was ready, and she added a second digit and began fucking her with her fingers. Still licking at the pale noble’s pussy and clit, the princess continued fucking her sweet Olivia, intent on bringing her to an extraordinary climax.<br><br>Afterward, Juli crawled up next to Olivia and laid down beside her once more, pressed close against her side and hugging her with one arm. The royal kissed the other woman affectionately, while rubbing her wet pussy and panties against Olivia’s leg and moaning slightly.

				Startling blue eyes exploded wide open as Juliette’s lips pressed up against her sex, causing a surprised moan to escape her lips. She had never known that her body could be so sensitive, that even the slightest touch could be so pleasurable. Her legs began to squirm slightly, causing Juliette to grip her legs in place as she bucked her hips up eagerly towards the Princess’ lips.<br><br>As Juliette’s skilful tongue trailed up along her clit she threw her head back and screamed intensely, her hands balling up into tiny fists to grip the sheets tightly. A feeling of warmth began to spread across her body and her vision started to go hazy as she lost herself in the throes of ecstasy. Her normally keen mind completely lost all focus as loud moans blossomed into delighted screams.<br><br>Finally the pleasure began to reach its peak, the warmth building up inside her like a dam about to burst. Throwing her head back to send shimmering locks of ebony hair cascading all around her, she let out a loud, piercing scream as she started to cum. Her juices began to gush out of her in torrents, trickling down along her legs as she sunk back into the bed with a whimper.<br><br>Slowly Juliette began to crawl up beside her, holding her trembling form in her arms. She felt warm and safe within her embrace, and slowly fresh tears begin to trickle down her cheeks. “I love you,” she whispered softly, surprising herself with the sudden profession as she looked over to meet Juliette’s gaze with her own. For once her eyes were not cold, unreadable things but were instead brimming with raw, painful emotion. <br><br>Desperation. Need. Want. And a desire to be loved.<br>

				The rational part of Juliette’s mind told her that the idea of two people who had met only a few hours ago being in love was more than a little crazy. And yet she was completely smitten with her sweet Olivia, and caught in the moment. “I love you, Milady,” Juli whispered back, and somehow it felt not just true but obvious. “You’re so brilliant, and so achingly beautiful. I’ve never met anyone like you.”<br><br>The princess kissed her lover deeply, also brushing one hand lightly over Olivia’s flat, sexy tummy. Then she cuddled up against the noble once more. It was impossible to resist rubbing her horny little cunt against Olivia’s leg some more—it felt so good, and while the noble might be sated for the moment, Juli’s entire body felt as if it were on fire with her need.<br><br>“You know, it’s lucky for us that sound doesn’t carry well out of this room, or the guards would have come running to see who had just been murdered,” Juli said teasingly, kissing her darling’s neck once more.

				When Juliette professed that she loved her too Olivia was overcome with a feeling of elation, tears continuing to stream down her cheek as she suddenly threw herself at the Princess. Locking lips with hers she began to kiss Juliette deeply, playfully trailing her tongue along that of her lovers.<br><br>Olivia began to trail her fingers down along Juliette’s side, bringing her hand to rest on the elegant curve of her hip as the Princess held her close. She could feel Juliette grinding up against her slowly and she started to slowly trail her leg up between her lover’s thighs, gently rubbing her back.<br><br>She began to blush brightly as Juliette pointed out how loud she was, having been so lost in the moment that she didn’t care who heard her shrill squeals of delight. For a moment she averted her gaze, embarrassed, before turning back and shyly whispering “Can you teach me to make you feel that way you made me feel?”<br>

				Juliette was very pleased by how strong Olivia’s affection was, and how intense their emotional connection had become. Despite being more experienced than the noble, Juli had known plenty of loneliness—the burden of command could make one feel completely alone even when surrounded by friends. But now there was no fear in the back of her mind that she might give the order that would lead her lover to her death, and so Juli could let herself get lost in these feelings more completely than she ever had before.<br><br>The princess gasped slightly at Olivia’s gentle touch and rubbing against her sex. “I’m afraid it can be a bit trial and error at first,” Juli whispered playfully in reply. “The more you have me writhing and moaning, the more you’re probably on the right track. Don’t be afraid to take charge or position me how you want—I enjoy that.” The princess could not resist playing with her love a little further before things progressed, gently kneading one of Olivia’s breasts with her hand and then teasing the nipple with her tongue.

"I must go my love, before someone returns to check on you." He looked down, quiet for a moment. "If this is to be my last night... Thank you for making it perfect." He kissed her on last time on the lips, softly, with more tenderness than he had ever given a woman before. "I love you."

				Lenally listened carefully to his instructions, nodding when he told her not to speak to the girl. She was still nervous, but she knew that Lorenso would keep her safe. She smiled up at him as he asked her questions about her life in Aserit, about her hopes and dreams as they nestled in the other's embrace. She pouted and tried to cling to him as he had to pull himself from her arms. "I don't want you to go...." she said softly, as he turned and told her how glad he was that if it were to be his last night that she'd made it his most perfect one. She held him close as he kissed her, shivering at the tenderness. "I love you too." she said softly, looking into his eyes so sincerely.

				He kissed her one last time. "I'll always be with you Lenally." He smiled so lovingly back at her, before giving her one last kiss, and disappearing into the the tunnels. He returned to his solar unseen by anyone, the merchant guards baring the doors behind him. He climbed into bed as soon as he got back, stripping off his clothes, he had a long day tomorrow, if he was to survive he would need his rest.

				When he leaned in she again returned the kiss, stroking his cheek as he again pulled away. She smiled at him so lovingly as he vowed to always be with her. She looked bashfully down into her lap and then looked up to see he'd disappeared. She felt herself wanting to cry, praying hard that he would not be slain, and that somehow they would find a way to be together. She got up, dressing, a little wobbly as she waited for the servant girl to arrive. When she arrived, she was silent, nodding to Lenally and taking the sheets as she made the bed with fresh sheets and took all of the sheets to be destroyed. Soon, Lenally was alone again as she laid back and tried to sleep. It would prove difficult.

				Olivia continued to softly trail her fingers up and down the front of Juliette’s panties as she listened intently, taking in every last detail so that she might please the Princess more. She nodded nervously before lacing trembling fingers into Juliette’s panties, pulling them down at a teasingly slow rate. Biting down on her lip as she exposed that last perfect piece of her lover, Olivia leaned in slowly to plant a tender kiss along the inside of Juliette’s thigh, her lips trailing lower and lower as they followed her panties down until she finally reached her ankle.<br><br>Finally sliding them off she began to kiss her way back up the other leg, starting at her ankle and kissing all the way up along her calf before slowing down along the inside of her thigh. When she finally reached the top she paused for a moment, uncertain of what to do next, before leaning in to plant a soft kiss on Juliette’s sex. Juliette seemed to like it, so she gently started to guide her legs apart before hesitantly leaning in to kiss it again. <br><br>Slowly gaining confidence, Olivia began to slide out her tongue, trailing it up and down along the length of Juliette’s slit. To her surprise she found that it even tasted enjoyable, a rather sweet taste that made her crave more and she soon began to slide her tongue past the tight pink flesh of Juliette’s opening, plunging it deep. The taste drove her wild and the sounds Juliette made even more so, and soon heat and passion overcame her shyness, causing her to lash her tongue about wildly. Despite her inexperience in bed, Olivia turned out to be a rather insatiable animal, moaning softly at the taste as she curled and rolled her tongue deep inside Juliette. Her hands still rested on Juliette’s thighs and she began to grip them tightly, holding them in place as she continued to relentlessly lash her tongue about. <br><br>At first she was a raging beast, simply lashing about everywhere, unsure of where felt good. However as she listened to her partner she slowly began to find which places felt good and slowly narrowed down on those, gaining much more finesse than earlier. She continued until she pushed Juliette past the brink, moaning softly in delight as she drew the Princess to climax. <br><br>Slowly, almost reluctantly she slid her tongue out and looked up at Juliette with embarrassment. “M-My apologies, milady,” she whispered. “I-I don’t know what came over me.”<br>

				The princess found herself enjoying how sweetly Olivia kissed down her leg as her panties were removed. Juli’s pretty sex was shaven as her lover’s was, although not quite as perfectly—when she was single, this was more for comfort than appearance. And when the kisses began trailing back up towards the royal’s wet pussy, she moaned slightly in anticipation. She squirmed erotically at the first touch of Olivia’s lips to her slit.<br><br>As the noble gained in boldness, Juli was lost in a world of intense lust. Olivia’s inexperience was hardly an issue, when she was so eager and the princess was so excited at every touch from her beautiful love. Juli gave high-pitched, sluttish little moans as her horny twat was so wonderfully pleasured. She was writhing, sexy legs giving gentle kicks while she held the bedsheets tightly. Soon a sheen of sweat had covered her soft, pale skin, while her cute tits shook slightly with her movements.<br><br>Finally, Juli was driven to her climax. She shrieked almost as loudly as Olivia had, back arching violently and thrusting up her pert breasts. More of her moist lubrication escaped her gorgeous cunny, as she closed her eyes and licked her lips.<br><br>The princess was left desperately panting for breath in the aftermath, and was very surprised by Olivia’s apology. “That was so wonderful... so intense... Don’t apologize my love, it was everything I could have hoped for.” She smiled sweetly. “Now please come up here and hold me. I want to feel your warmth, I need you close.” Juli’s mind was still swimming in her afterglow as she closed her eyes and tried to finally catch her breath.

				<strong>Lyssa<br>Day 1 - Night</strong><br><br>The Queen retired to her room, letting the heavy wooden door close shut behind her. Her ladies maid was stationed outside as usual for the chance that Lyssa required something. The day had been long. Lyssa quickly changed into her silk nightgown, which hugged her curves and revealed a fair bit of skin. Her bed was empty and gigantic, having been made for both her and the King to sleep in. That had not been the case for many a day now; Lyssa was already accustomed to sleeping alone. <br><br>Sitting down at a ornately decorated wooden desk, the Queen looked over papers and reports from the day, as if waiting for something before turning in for the night.

				Olivia beamed with happiness when Juliette said she was wonderful, all her worry and nervousness evaporating instantly. She realised she was panting, a feeling of fatigue washing over her as she collapsed back down on the bed into her lover’s arms. <br><br>Juliette’s body felt so warm and safe; it had been a long time since someone else had held her and even then it had never been quite so intimate. A soft smile touched at her lips as she gently kissed Juliette, sighing contently as she stayed close.<br><br>She had never felt this way before, never experienced such a sensation that left her at peace both physically and mentally. All of her concerns and fears, her plots and schemes had vanished from her mind. The only thing that mattered was this moment.<br><br>“Do you think we can be together like this?” she asked shyly, her tone coming out in a soft whisper. She realised that it was very sudden for her to ask, and that it might make Juliette uncomfortable. But still, sex was something you shared with someone you love, wasn’t it? Surely Juliette was not the type to go around bedding young nobles.<br>

				Juli was completely content to share tender kisses with Olivia and hold her soft form close, nuzzling affectionately. At her lover’s question, Juliette smiled. “I want us to be together so much,” she whispered happily. “I’ve never felt this strongly. How can it be that I still hardly know you, but already you’re like a drug to me? You’re such beautiful perfection, my love.” She kissed Olivia, deeply and passionately.<br><br>The princess sighed contentedly, but soon the world outside the room began creeping back into her mind. “We’ll have to be more careful from now on,” she noted softly. “We were acting like smitten teenage girls back at the banquet. Royals in Theiri have always had their sexual indiscretions, but the idea of two women together isn’t taken well even here. And for you to be involved with me, it could cause your people to think that your loyalty to Nydewia is suspect.” She was obviously very troubled at the thought. “That’s the last thing I want, I never want to see you hurt. And especially not on my account.<br><br>“I’m most worried about LeChance—with his hearing, that assassin probably did not miss a word we said.” Juli remembered her earlier apprehension when Olivia had been talking to the blind man. “I want you to be very careful not to upset him. He may come off as charismatic, but I don’t think he’s entirely sane. He publicly threatened the life of the king earlier today. I spoke to him in private before your delegation arrived, and he talked about how important it was to make his kills personal, to feel his victim’s last breath on his skin. I’m not someone who’s easily frightened, but I’ll admit I was very disturbed by the conversation.<br><br>“But there’s nothing that can be done so long as the queen tolerates his presence,” she noted, unable to hide how upset she was. “So promise you’ll be careful of him.”

				Olivia smiled sweetly, her eyes fluttering shut as a peaceful expression crossed her face. For the first time her mind was completely empty, free of any distracting thoughts as she simply surrendered herself to the moment. The feel of loving someone, and being loved in return, was a new experience to her although it was already without a doubt her favourite.<br><br>It was a strange feeling; almost like a peaceful surrender. Before she came to Theiri her idea of the perfect life was herself leading a nation, finally seizing the reins of power from those incompetent Nydewian cretins. Her dreams had always been so grand and yet now they seemed so silly. Why would people want such things when there were moments like these to be had?<br><br>Her fingers gently roamed up and down along Juliette’s flat, toned stomach as she listened to her. “It won’t happen again,” she replied with a soft yawn. Her tone sounded almost disinterested and bored with the notion of behaving in public, even with her life at stake, although she was sincere when she said it. Never before had she allowed her excitement to get the better of her like that and it would not happen again. <br><br>Her eyes fluttered open as Juliette mentioned Sanguine, a glimmer of curiosity filling the deep blue void of her gaze. Although much of her attention had been on Juliette at dinner she had observed everyone closely, LeChance in particular. “Don’t worry,” she replied softly, her tone warm and comforting. “I assure you, you have nothing to fear from Mr. LeChance,” she added mysteriously. Already she had plans in store for him; plans which would force him to make a choice between loyalty and gain. A choice which would ultimately lead him to join her or die. <br><br>Smiling reassuringly she added finally “I promise.” Her words were not lies, at least from a certain point of view. She was <em>always </em> careful in dealing with anyone, assassin or not. However her idea of careful, she imagined, was probably different to what Juliette had in mind.<br><br>Resting her head on Juliette’s shoulder, she rested at her side for what felt like hours; safe in her warm embrace. Finally, and with much reluctance, she sat up and started down into her lover’s eyes before leaning in softly to kiss her passionately and deeply. “I should go now,” she whispered softly, her voice filled with despair. “I love you so much.”<br><br>After saying her final goodbyes she pulled herself out of bed and spent several minutes reattaching her dress before quietly leaving the door. As always, she shut the door without making a sound before returning to her room without making so much as a single sound. She had completely forgotten her plans to meet with Henrik, although by the time she wriggled into bed it was much too late to go see him anyway. <br><br>Her bed felt empty without Juliette by her side, although for the first time since her life at the orphanage she looked forward to waking up tomorrow.<br>

				Juli was given pause at Olivia’s tone when she insisted that there was no need to worry over the assassin. <em>So she already has formulated some sort of plan involving LeChance.</em> It belatedly occurred to the soldier that her new lover must be unusually devious—how else would such a foreign-looking woman have risen to political power in Nydewia in the first place? But this did not bother Juli in and of itself. After all, who more than Major Juliette had relied on misdirection and subterfuge to survive? The only difference was what sort of battlefield the two women were accustomed to fighting on. <em>There’s nothing wrong with trickery used to the right ends.</em> The real question was, just what ends did her sweet Olivia pursue? Perversely, the idea that there was such uncertainty and danger about Olivia only made Juli desire her all the more.<br><br>The princess was very touched by how regretful Olivia looked at the necessity of her departure—and Juli was a little saddened as well. “I love you,” she replied softly, enjoying the last kiss of the night and the last glance of Olivia’s exquisite body before she dressed once more.<br><br>After all the days events, Juli’s mind ought to have been racing. But she was physically exhausted from their love-making and just as mentally run down from stress—within minutes of being left alone, Juli was sound asleep.
