As we entered the Capital, I was informed that I would be meeting the King the moment I entered the city, which was fine by me, as that gets things out of the way and allows me to enjoy tomorrow without a problem. We pulled up to the palace, and the Duchess and I exited the carriage. The others had been brought to the place where they will be letting us rest while in the city.
"The Duchess will enter first; we will have you wait in this room, Sir Colt." A guard said as we entered the palace. I nodded, as it made sense; they probably wanted to get a sense of what kind of human I was. So they will ask the Duchess about me, and I have no problem with that.
If she tells them how I truly am, it doesn't bother me, as they couldn't do anything to me without hurting themselves. With the fact that these kingdom seems to be having issues with internal struggles, it wouldn't be wise to make an enemy out of me. The most they will do is throw some dark elf females my way and try to earn my trust and partnership.
As I waited in the room, I noticed a side door open, and a child popped her head in. She looked at me with eyes trying to figure out what kind of person I was. "Are you the one who killed the Emperor of Warish?" She said in a little voice, making me smile gently, and nodded.
"He was a bad man, so I sent him to a place where he belongs," I said as she opened the door, ran in, jumped on my lap, and hugged me while I was sitting. "Thank you." She said with her face buried in my chest.
"Princess, you can't." A maid entered the room, along with another girl who looked a little older, and blushed slightly as she looked at me. She, too, had a crown on her head, as the one in my chest turned her head to look at the maid. "Why can't I, this brave hero, save me from that monster?" She said, turning her head to look up at me with eyes that almost sparkled.
"What do you mean, I saved you?" I said, as a gentle voice spoke. "My sister and I were supposed to marry the Emperor of Warish to keep our kingdom safe. But now that they are having issues, our kingdom isn't in any danger." The other girl said, looking at me, and she turned her head, blushing as she played with some of her hair.
"You are my hero, so let me thank you." Said the one who was sitting on my lap as she kissed me. It happened all too quickly as she pulled away and hopped off my lap, running away. I had no idea how to handle what just happened, only for something to happen that made me somewhat sick.
"She is a child," I mumbled to myself, making me hate myself as I fixed my legs. Yeah, I wasn't going to walk down that path. I said to myself as I watched the three of them leave. Shit, this blessing is going to get me into trouble. Pulling out my smokes so I could try and calm myself down before meeting the King, I lit one as I sighed.
As I waited for the meeting, it took them almost an hour to come and get me as I stood up and followed the Guards. Making our way to the throne room, I stood before the doors as they opened, signalling me to enter the throne room. As I stepped onto the carpet and looked around, there were Dark Elves on one side and mixed races on the other side.
This explained the two factions of this kingdom as I walked forward and noticed the King and a woman sitting next to him, making me squeeze my hand until blood flowed through cuts on it. She was breathtaking, but I couldn't show it right now; it would make things way more complicated than they had to be.
The two girls were sitting next to the Queen as the King spoke to me. "Welcome, Sir Colt, to my kingdom." His words were shaky, suggesting he was scared of me, which made me think he wasn't a good King. No wonder he would marry his young daughters off to the Warish Emperor, and the non-Dark Elve faction had gained a good bit of power.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, your Majesty," I said while offering a light bow. "May I know why you called me for this meeting?" I asked him as he stood up and spoke.
"Yes, Sir Colt." He said, standing as he rubbed his hands together as he spoke. "I wish to make a marriage proposal between my two daughters and you. They haven't been touched by a man yet, and they are of royal blood, fitting wives of a human of your caliber." His words shocked me and kind of made me sick of him.
I noticed the Queen grabbing her dress at his words and looked her in the eyes, I could see distaste for a moment. But that was all I needed as I smirked; she didn't like her husband pawning off her daughters like that. "Your Majesty, aren't they a little young to marry me? Plus, they don't even like me," I said.
But two voices spoke up right after it. "WE DON'T MIND!" The two princesses blurted out, shocking not only me but their mother, too. The King smiled widely as he spoke. "The age of marriage in this kingdom is 8, and my daughters both do not seem to have a problem with you, Sir Colt. It would hurt their honor and self-worth if you turn it down. After all, you are their hero." The King said with a smile.
"Can I have a day to think about this, your Majesty?" I said, noticing the girl's eyes, that I would agree, but if I am to agree with this, I want to get more out of it, and for that, I will have to talk to their mother, the Queen. As I had noticed her hatred towards her husband, if I were to speak to her in private, we could come to a deeper understanding.
"Yes, Sir Colt. I have no problem with you contemplating this marriage for a day." He said with a wide grin. Part of me wanted to punch him, but the other part said, I can use him to my advantage. As I bowed, he let me go and dismissed his court. After we left, the Duchess walked up to me, and I whispered into her ear.
"Get the Queen to come to my room, tell her I would like to talk about the marriage. You can stay in the room, as I plan to do the same thing I did to you with her." I said, making her blush and nod before leaving.
As I exited the palace and made way to the carriage that was waiting for me. "Take me to my lodging," I said as I mounted it. My mind was turning with my plan, and my excitement was building as I pictured the Queen.
It didn't take me long to get to the mansion I was staying at, as it was the Duke's Capital mansion. As I exited the carriage and made my way to my room, I didn't have to wait more than an hour inside it when a knock came. "Sir Colt, the Queen is here." The Duchess said as I stood up and opened the door.
The Queen stood there looking at me; she didn't look at me with hate, but it wasn't one of liking. Which is understandable, as I am the man her husband is trying to marry her daughters to. "Please come in. My name is John Colt. Your Majesty can call me Colt." I said as she nodded and spoke.
"I am Lyra Darkfall. I was told you want to talk about the marriage." She said, walking inside as I closed the door behind them and gently locked it. "Yes, your Majesty," I said, walking over to my seat and sitting down after they had.
"I am willing to agree to the marriage under four terms, and some that will help you relax, Your Highness," I said, making her raise her eyebrow. She looked at me, trying to see what I was up to, but she couldn't quite figure it out before she finally spoke.
"What are these terms?" She asked, wanting to know what I was after. Smiling, as she had shown she was open to talks, meaning she wasn't totally against the marriage, she didn't like how her husband was handling it.
"I wanted to ask you something first, do you dislike your husband, the King. I noticed when he brought up the marriage, you weren't happy." I said, making her look at me before sighing. "I never liked my husband; I was only forced to marry him because of my father. And the thought of forcing my daughters to suffer the same fate as me made me sad and resentful of my husband." She said before pausing and looking out the window.
"But my two daughters seem to take a liking to you, and if marrying you makes them happy, then I don't see a problem with this marriage." She said, looking back at me.
"Then, as long as you are okay with the marriage agreement, I will list out my terms.
1.) The marriage will have to wait until next year, as right now I am on a journey to finish something.
2.) I will only help the kingdom if you ask of me, not your husband, and you have to do it in person.
3.) I want 1000 normal monster crystals.
And the final, most crucial term.
4.) I want to bed you." I said, making her shocked at my terms. She couldn't speak for a moment, only to be surprised even more by what happened next.
The Duchess had undid the man's pants in front of her. Lyra had known her for a long time and knew how prim and proper she was, but now she was sucking on the dick of a human right in front of her. She glared at the man and was about to speak, only to be cut off.
"I have the blessing of Lustia, and I had met your youngest, and that triggered it. But you also triggered it, meaning it would end up being your daughter or you who would need to help soothe that urge. I picked you because you have already tasted a man, and it wouldn't hurt you. I am sure you wish for your daughter to enjoy a pleasant first time. So I have picked to marry her at a later date so she can grow and not get hurt." My words stopped her from speaking.
She couldn't deny that his words had merit, as she didn't want your daughter to dislike the first time having sex like she had. And she was already in a somewhat sexless marriage as her husband had taken a few mistresses and hadn't touched her in a year. Lyra thought for a moment and spoke.
"If I do this, will you lend your power whenever I ask?" She said.
"That depends on whether you allow me to fuck you whenever I desire. If you agree, I will lend you my power for anything you need. That is, if you become my mistress." I said with a smile. It made her bite her lip as she knew they were in a tough spot with the non-dark elven faction.
"Then I agree, but I want you to kill all the non-dark elven nobility that's inside the capital tonight." She said while standing up and undoing her dress, letting it fall to the floor, revealing her goddess-like body.
"With pleasure," I said while signalling her to come over to me with my finger.
