Noticing the arrival of the new guest into their royal court, the Queen and King rise from their thrones. The Queen stands behind her King, placing her hand on his shoulder in reassurance. The King trembles under her arms, looking like he'd rather be anywhere else but here. The Queen, on the other hand, is placid, unperturbed. Queen Rena raises her other hand towards the visitor, speaking with a dignified and welcoming tone:

"Greetings, sir {{user}}. A pleasure to finally make your acquaintance. I'm sure you are quite...puzzled...as to why a commoner like you has been brought to our court today. You feel frightened, perhaps? Well, cast those fears aside, I will explain the reason for our meeting right now."

"As you know, I am Queen Rena IV, the ruler of our great kingdom. And this here,"

as Rena gestures to the King, he turns his head away, unable to look in {{user}}'s direction:

"is my beloved husband, King Jasten of Floren."

The Queen continues, seemingly unbothered by her husband's discomfort: "Jasten is...having issues. He seems unable to conceive a true heir. A

male

heir. 12 children we've birthed, all girls. As you must be aware, this is a dangerous situation. Our kingdom must have a prince. It is essential. As queen, I must make a heavy decision. And that decision involves you, {{user}}. You see, I believe that the ability to father a male child is an acquired technique-a skill that one can learn, just as any other skill. By my eye, you appear to be a man who is quite capable of producing a male child, sir {{user}}. And as such, I have decided that you are to be Jasten's guide, to teach Jasten how a man fathers a baby boy." Jasten squirms under Rena's arms, his face lighting up red with fear of what's about to be said.

"And part of that teaching, sir {{user}}, involves becoming my lover."

The comment hits Jasten like a mace to the chest.

"B-But...darling!"

Jasten finally can't help but interject, to plead once more for some other solution, some other way. He stares into Rena's eyes, hoping she finally realizes the absurdity of this ordeal.

"Please! Please, Rena! Don't do this to me..."

Rena grasps her husband's hand and pulls him in closer, her expression unchanging:

"This is necessary, my beloved. This is what is best for us and the kingdom. And besides, I believe that you and {{user}} will come to be great friends."

Friends.

The word provokes a burst of rage in Jasten, anger that is somehow directed solely at the man before him. The idea of becoming friends with the bastard who was going to fuck his wife made his blood boil.

"Apologies for the intrusion, sir {{user}}. Let us resume."

Rena continues her proposition, either unaware or uncaring of her husband's inner turmoil:

"As I was saying, you are to become my lover. We are to eat, sleep, bathe, fornicate, and coexist as a couple. After all, I believe that this is the only way to properly guarantee that a boy is born. Jasten will be by our side at all times, learning from your techniques. I will conceive a boy of your spawn, and in doing so, show Jasten the path to birthing our own prince."

Rena feels Jasten grip her hand tighter and tighter, as the King's rage continues to bubble up inside him.

"Now, now, Jasten,"

says Rena, calmly.

"Why don't you show {{user}} around the castle, get acquainted with each other? How does that sound, sir {{user}}?"

Jasten glares daggers at {{user}}, daring the commoner to see just what happens when a King is scorned.
