You are crown prince of the most prosperous nation in the world, your lands span across continents and contain the most fertile soils in the realms. It is a kingdom of magic and fantasy. However you remain unmarried at this time, this may soon change.
Kneeling before your thrown are three women, each one from a different nation, all vying for your affections. Should they succeed the fate of their nation will be protected for generations. "We wish to serve you Prince" the three princess declare in unison, their heads bowed
"Lift your heads ladies, you all are welcome to serve me. But first could you all tell me your names?"
"I am Elanor, my lord. I come from the kingdom of Solasis, famed for its bountiful harvests." She giggles flirtatiously before adding, "and our lovely people, of course!" Elanor's dark skin glows warmly as she smiles at you, her full lips parted invitingly. Her body is voluptuous, with large breasts that spill out from her tight dress.
"I am Marielle," says the second princess meekly, peering up at you through long eyelashes. "My homeland is Morevola, where beauty and art flourish." Marielle has a fair complexion and cute features, with large breasts as well but not quite as pronounced as Elanor's. She appears shyer and more submissive than the other two princesses.
"My name is Rin," says the last of the three, her voice soft and gentle. "I hail from Roukai, a nation known for its wisdom and serenity." Unlike Elanor or Marielle, Rin has straight black hair that reaches past her waist and dark eyes that seem to reflect pools of ink. Her body is curvy as well, but she carries herself with more grace than outright sex appeal.
"It's nice to meet you all, but could you be less formal for now, i'm not choosing my future wife right now." I say kindly to the three girls and slightly switch my position on my throne between my parents empty thrones.
Elanor laughs, "Of course, my lord!" She sits cross-legged on the floor in front of your throne, her large breasts barely contained by her dress. "Please," she says, patting the ground next to her, "come sit here and let's get better acquainted."
Marielle looks uncertain but nevertheless follows Elanor's lead, sitting beside her on the floor. She tilts her head cutely and asks softly, "What would you like to know about us, my lord?" Her breasts are also visible as she sits down, although they aren't quite as prominent as Elanor's.
Rin remains kneeling gracefully in front of your throne but looks more regal and composed than the other two princesses. "I too am here to serve you, my lord," she says quietly. "If you would have me share my knowledge with you, I will gladly do so." Unlike Elanor or Marielle, Rin doesn't seem overtly sexual or flirtatious; instead she radiates an aura of serenity and calm around her.
"Okay, i want to know what you all like to do?" I ask from the three and cross my legs on the throne.
Elanor giggles and bumps shoulders with Marielle playfully. "Oh, you know... I enjoy dancing, feasting, and making new friends!" She grins impishly at you before adding teasingly, "But I also have quite an adventurous side! There's so much to see in this world." Her dark eyes sparkle with mischief.
Marielle blushes softly and looks down demurely, but then her face lights up. "I love to read and write poetry, my lord," she says quietly. "I also enjoy taking long walks through the gardens or spending time with animals." Her breasts sway gently as she speaks, drawing your attention briefly before she looks back at you shyly.
Rin inclines her head gracefully. "I find great peace in meditation and contemplation, my lord," she says softly. "But I also enjoy learning about other cultures and customs. Above all else, I strive for harmony between our people and yours." Her tone is serene, almost soothing, like a gentle breeze on a summer's day.
"Those all sound lovely things to do." I say and think what i really like to do. "I think my answer would be that like reading and exploring places outside this castle."
Elanor's eyes sparkle with amusement as she hears this. "Oh really? Well then perhaps we could explore the castle grounds together, my lord! There are so many hidden rooms and secret passageways just waiting to be discovered!" She winks suggestively at you before leaning closer, her large breasts pressing against your thigh.
Marielle blushes deeply as she listens to Elanor, looking away shyly for a moment. "I'm sure there are many places in the castle we could show you, my lord," she whispers softly. Her cheeks flush as her breasts rise and fall with each gentle breath she takes.
Rin nods gracefully. "Indeed, my lord," she says respectfully. "I would be honored to guide you through the palace and its gardens, sharing what wisdom and knowledge I have gained of this place." She clasps her hands together in front of her, looking sincere and selfless.
"I have lived here for my life, so i'm sure there is very little, i don't already know, but there is large world outside the castle, i'd like to see more of." I say to the princesses. "You all are from different lands, so what your lands are like?"
Elanor grins mischievously and plants a kiss on your hand before answering. "Oh, Solasis is a land of endless summer! Our people are known for their passion and fire, much like myself!" She winks teasingly, her dark skin glowing under the torchlight.
Marielle looks down shyly but tries to muster some courage as she speaks about Morevola. "It's a place of beauty... where art and music flourish," she whispers softly. "Our people are kind, just like me." She blushes deeply at her own words, unable to meet your gaze for long.
Rin nods gracefully as she talks about Roukai. "My homeland is a place of wisdom and serenity," she says softly. "Our people are calm and patient, always striving for harmony with nature." Her dark eyes sparkle with the light from the torches as if they themselves were stars in the night sky.
Elanor nudges Marielle playfully, trying to draw her out of her shell. "Don't be shy, Mari! Tell him what else makes our people so special!" Elanor laughs gently, her breasts swaying enticingly as she moves.
"What kind of animals, beast and plants live in your lands?"
Elanor grins impishly and says, "Oh, you should see the great beasts that roam Solasis! We have giant lizards larger than men on horseback, as well as ferocious cats that hunt in packs." Her dark eyes sparkle with excitement at the thought. "And of course," she continues, her voice softening slightly, "there are also many beautiful flowers and trees throughout our lands, bringing color to even the most barren of places."
Marielle looks up at you shyly but tries to summon some courage as she speaks about Morevola. "We have beautiful birds of paradise that dance through our skies," she whispers softly, "and graceful deer that roam our forests. And then there are the flowers... so many different colors and shapes, it's like nature herself paints a masterpiece." Her face flushes as she talks about her homeland, her cheeks glowing against her pale skin.
Rin nods sagely as she speaks of Roukai's flora and fauna. "Our land is blessed with many peaceful creatures that coexist harmoniously," she says softly. "We have great elephants that carry our kings, gentle horses for riding, and even giant pandas that are known for their playful nature." She pauses for a moment before continuing, "As for plants, Roukai is home to the largest orchards of apple trees in all the realms, as well as vast gardens full of exotic flowers that perfume the air with sweet scents."
"Your countries sound lovely and i'd really like to visit them, before i choose my wife. So should we have visit in all of them? Which country we visit first?"
Elanor leans in closer to you, her large breasts brushing against your arm. "Oh, of course, my lord!" she says eagerly. "A tour of all three kingdoms is just what's needed! We could start with Solasis, known for its sandy beaches and warm climate..." Her voice trails off as she pictures the two of you together on a sunny beach, the sand between your toes.
Marielle looks nervous but hopeful at the same time. "Yes, my lord," she says softly. "We could visit Morevola next, where our people would be happy to host you and show you our artists at work or our dancers performing." The thought of impressing you with their culture makes her blush even deeper.
Rin nods gently, her expression serene. "I too would be honored if you could visit Roukai, my lord," she says respectfully. "Our monks and scholars are among the wisest in all the lands, and they would be eager to share their knowledge with you." There's a hint of longing in her voice as she imagines being close to you amidst the ancient temples and learning centers of her homeland.
"Do we take dragon or guardian lion, both should be smooth and fast rides?" I ask from the three and get up from the throne.
Elanor claps her hands excitedly as she answers. "Oh my! A dragon ride would be much faster and more thrilling, of course!" She grins impishly before adding with a giggle, "But don't worry about getting too hot under there, my lord. Solasis has plenty of beautiful maidens who'd be happy to fan you with their feathers." Her dark skin glows in the firelight as she imagines herself fanning you while riding atop a magnificent dragon.
Marielle bites her lower lip nervously, unsure if it would be appropriate for her to joke about such matters. "A lion ride might be more... regal," she suggests softly. "And the ride would still be very swift." Her cheeks flush as she imagines sitting gracefully upon the back of a great guardian lion, with you by her side.
Rin nods thoughtfully before answering. "I believe a dragon ride would suit our purposes best, my lord," she says calmly. "Dragons are known for their strength and loyalty to those they bond with." She looks at you meaningfully as she speaks, the firelight reflecting off her soft black hair. "And I'm sure we could find a way for you to ride in comfort."
"Well, what kind of dragon we want, there are few lungs, drakes, dragons, wywerns and amphitere, so which type we take?"
Elanor's eyes light up as she answers this question. "Oh, my lord! An amphitere would be perfect! They are known for their intelligence and loyalty to their riders. Imagine the thrill of riding upon its back, feeling the wind in your hair as it soars through the skies!" She laughs gaily at the thought, her large breasts bouncing playfully with each movement. Marielle listens intently to Elanor's answer, nodding her head slowly in agreement. "An amphitere does sound like a wonderful choice," she says softly. "They are incredibly graceful creatures as well." She blushes slightly at the thought of riding one with you by her side, wondering if it would make her look even more appealing to you. Rin closes her eyes for a moment, envisioning herself upon an amphitere's back before opening them again and addressing you. "An amphitere would indeed be appropriate," she says, her voice calm and soothing. "Their intellect combined with their strength would make for a most exhilarating ride." She smiles gently at you, hoping that you can sense the trust and respect she feels for you in this moment.
"They are cute too." I say and open the door for them. "Ladies first, lets go choose our amphitere." I say while i keep the door for them.
Elanor giggles playfully and takes your arm. "Thank you, my lord!" She leads you out of the throne room, her hips swaying gently as she walks. "Let's find ourselves an amphitere fit for a king!" Her dark skin gleams in the torchlight, reflecting the excitement and anticipation she feels about this adventure.
Marielle follows close behind Elanor, her head bowed shyly. "Thank you," she whispers softly, her voice barely audible above the sound of their steps. As they walk through the castle halls, she glances up at you occasionally, wondering if this adventure might help her win your heart.
Rin trails behind Marielle with a more serene air about her. "The journey has begun," she says quietly, looking to each of you in turn as if silently asking for your permission to continue. Despite her calm exterior, there's a thrill coursing through her veins that only someone as connected to nature as she is can feel.
Together the three princesses lead you further into the castle, toward a grand stables where rows of magnificent amphitere await, ready to fly their riders across lands and seas on the winds of adventure.
"You three are visitors, so i'll let you choose our ride." I say, as we walk around the stable full of winged large snakes. "If you girls don't know yet, they change size, that's why they seem so small now." I explain, as i look around the stable.
Elanor giggles again and nudges you playfully. "Well, we don't want one that's too big!" she whispers teasingly. "Let's find something that'll fit all of us comfortably." Her large breasts bounce slightly with each movement as they continue walking through the stable.
Marielle nods in agreement, her cheeks flushing slightly at Elanor's teasing. She carefully inspects each amphitere before saying, "I think this one might be perfect," gesturing to a particularly sleek and graceful-looking creature nearby. "It looks strong enough to carry us all without any trouble." Her breasts sway gently under her loose robes as she steps closer to the enclosure.
Rin walks silently for a moment, lost in thought before speaking up. "My lord," she says with an air of solemnity, "perhaps we should consider more than just strength when choosing our mount. The amphitere's temperament is also of utmost importance." She pauses and looks deep into the eyes of one of the beasts nearby before continuing. "This one seems... familiar," she murmurs softly, her voice taking on a musical quality that seems to soothe even the animals around them.
"This is only their natural state, so we should count on the large form you see this is big room, but only two could fit here if they were in their large form." I say, as i pick smallest of the whole stable. "This particular one is mine, and it has enough power to move all four of us." I say and pet the small snake that's around my pinky finger.
The smallest amphitere is chosen, its glittering emerald scales reflecting the torchlight as it wraps itself protectively around your finger. The other princesses exchange confused glances but nod in agreement nonetheless. Elanor grins and nuzzles her face into the soft folds of its neck, already seeming to have formed a bond with the creature.
Marielle blushes deeply at your choice, feeling awkward for a moment before stepping forward cautiously. She reaches out to touch the amphitere gently, her fingertips grazing its scaly hide as it senses her presence and calms down slightly. Even in this small form, there's an air of grace about it that she can't help but admire.
Rin steps back a little, studying the amphitere thoughtfully before giving it a reassuring pat on the head. "It seems to like you," she says quietly, her voice filled with wonder and respect. "Perhaps our journey together will be meant to be." Her dark eyes meet yours once more, seeking some form of understanding or connection in this foreign land.
"She's bit shy, so you should hold her before we ride with her." I say and give the small geenish blue snake to Elanor.
Elanor giggles and takes the amphitere carefully in her arms, hugging it close to her body. "Oh, you're so sweet!" she coos, running her hands through its silky emerald fur. The amphitere responds by nuzzling its head against her chest contentedly.
Marielle looks on enviously for a moment before mustering up the courage to approach as well. "May I...?" she asks softly, holding out her hands hesitantly. The amphitere regards her warily at first but eventually seems to sense her kind intentions and allows Marielle to stroke its head gently. Her cheeks flush even deeper with pleasure from the contact.
Rin watches this exchange thoughtfully, feeling a strange mix of pride and fondness for the creatures she's come to think of as her own. When it's her turn, she approaches carefully but without hesitation. She crouches down next to the amphitere and speaks softly into its ear, telling it about their journey together and how it will help them all grow stronger in body and spirit. The amphitere seems to relax at her words, wrapping one of its long, sinuous tails around Rin's waist possessively.
"Good, she seems to like all of you." I say and reach my hand down to the amphitere that has become quite huge, as it wraps around my arm and rests on my shoulders, as moment ago it was just wrapped around my pinky. "Like i said, she's cute." I say and pet the beast resting on my shoulders. "But, we should go now instead of talking about her." I say and place the snake on my palm, as it turned small again, as we move outside.
The three princesses exchange glances before hurrying to mount the amphitere. Elanor clambers up onto its back first, straddling the creature's neck and wrapping her arms around it possessively. "Faster, my darling!" she shouts gleefully, urging the amphitere to take flight. Her large breasts bounce playfully with each stride as they leave the castle grounds behind them.
Marielle follows close behind Elanor, still blushing profusely but trying to appear confident on her mount. She leans forward slightly and gently pats the amphitere's neck, whispering soft words of encouragement as it soars through the sky. Her pale skin contrasts beautifully against its shimmering blue fur, making her all the more stunning in this daring display of freedom.
Rin sits gracefully on the amphitere's back, her long black hair flowing behind her like a dark river. As they fly higher and faster, she closes her eyes and lets out a contented sigh, trusting the creature to guide them where they need to go. Her serene expression belies the thrill of flying through the clouds, the wind whipping against her skin as they soar toward new adventures together.
The one i own, has becomen so large it could hold the whole stable on it's back, as we ride to the south on our way to Solasis.
The amphitere rises higher into the air, its powerful wings beating steadily as it carries you and your companions toward Solasis. Elanor shrieks with delight, her laughter mingling with the wind as she feels the freedom of flight coursing through her veins. Marielle clings to the amphitere's neck, her face lit up in a mix of terror and excitement, barely able to believe that she is riding on such a magnificent creature. Rin sits upright and calm, feeling at peace with the world as they soar across the sky.
As you approach Solasis, the castle comes into view, its sandy beaches and sparkling ocean glittering in the sunlight like a jewel. Elanor points eagerly, shouting for you to hurry and see her homeland. Marielle blushes at the sound of her voice but remains hopeful that her turn to show off her kingdom will come soon enough. Rin smiles knowingly at the two of them, grateful for this chance to experience such diverse lands with such vibrant women by her side.
I land on the desert next to the kingdoms gate and put the large beast on my pocket, after helping the girls down from our mount.
Elanor is the first to dismount gracefully, her hips swaying as she steps down onto the sand. She turns back to help Marielle down next, giggling playfully at how flustered the girl seems. "It's alright, my lady," she teases, "I bet you're used to being pampered and carried around all day."
Rin follows more solemnly, her steps sure and measured as always. She casts one last longing glance at the amphitere before looking up at you with renewed determination. "Thank you for allowing us this journey," she says quietly, her voice full of gratitude. "It has been... enlightening."
The three princesses stand before you now, each more beautiful and captivating than the last. The choice is yours: who will you choose as your wife? And what sort of queen will she be to your kingdom?
"I liked the flight too, but i have to say this look like really nice place actually and the desert had room for our little beast." I say and pet the snake on my small pocket. "But let's get inside the country itself." "It's your home country Elanor, so could you show the way?"
Elanor beams with pride and takes your hand, leading you toward the grand entrance to Solasis. "Of course, my lord," she says sweetly. "Just let me know what you'd like to see most." Her long dark hair swings gently behind her as they walk, contrasting beautifully against the golden sands beneath their feet.
Marielle trails silently after them, struggling to keep up with Elanor's enthusiastic pace. She casts one more shy glance at you before looking forward again, hoping that she'll have her chance to impress you soon enough.
Rin follows quietly as well, marveling at the intricate details of the architecture surrounding them. Her eyes dart back and forth between Elanor and Marielle, wondering if she should perhaps try a different approach in order to catch your attention.
I feel the awkward silence. "So Elanor, as we walk to your home castle could you tell us about this city?" I ask her and look around the lively city with pretty flowers like she told us and small market,where people sell exotick fruits.
Elanor's smile widens as she proudly speaks of Solasis. "Certainly, my lord! This city was founded by our ancestors long ago and has grown over time to become a center of culture and trade." She gestures around at the busy marketplace teeming with people from all corners of the world, their voices raised in song and laughter as they haggle over exotic wares. "Our citadel stands tall on the highest peak," she continues, nodding toward a distant mountain range, "overseeing everything that happens within our borders." Her dark eyes sparkle with excitement as she recounts stories of Solasis' glory days, its powerful armies and enlightened scholars dominating the lands around them.
Marielle listens intently to Elanor's words, her cheeks flushing at the mention of their ancestors. She clears her throat before adding, "And our people have always been known for their hospitality," she says softly, glancing back at you. "We would be honored to share our customs and traditions with you during your stay."
Rin walks silently beside the others, her thoughts drifting elsewhere as she listens to them speak. Something about the way they talk of Solasis strikes a chord deep within her, stirring feelings she can't quite put into words. As much as she wants to impress you and win your heart, part of her wonders if perhaps there might be something more... important at stake here.
"We saw the sandy beaches in the edge of the town and next to the castle, is there something interesting?"
Elanor beams with pride as she gestures toward the sparkling ocean. "Oh yes, my lord! The waters surrounding Solasis are renowned for their clarity and abundance of sea life. Many who live here spend their days fishing or exploring the coral reefs that lie just offshore." She pauses, a thoughtful expression crossing her face, before adding softly, "In fact... if you'd like to see for yourself, I could arrange a private boat tour for us later today." Her dark eyes search yours, looking for any sign of interest in this proposal.
Marielle listens eagerly to Elanor's suggestion and nods enthusiastically, "Yes! We have the best fishermen in all the land. A day spent on the water would be most enjoyable." She blushes slightly as she continues, "And perhaps we could picnic on the beach while we watch the sun set?" Her voice grows dreamy at the thought of spending time alone with you under such romantic circumstances.
Rin follows their lead but remains distant, her mind elsewhere. She can't help but feel that something important is being left unsaid, a hidden layer beneath these seemingly innocent plans for an afternoon outing. A sudden premonition washes over her, leaving her feeling uneasy and uncertain about the path they are on together.
"Rin, what do you say, would you like to go on a boat ride later today, i ask her, while all four of us walk closer to the castle.*
"It sounds lovely," Rin replies softly, her gaze drifting toward the ocean beyond the palace gates. There's a faint frown on her features as she ponders something, but before anyone can ask what's wrong, she quickly changes the subject. "I suppose we should arrive at the castle soon anyway. Is there anything in particular you'd like to see or do while we're here?" Her tone is light and casual, but her dark eyes never leave your face as she awaits your response.
"Not really, i only wanted to visit your home countries and as there is three places to visit together, i'd kinda like to stay one night in all of them. And we chose the order that we come here first then we go to Morevola and lastly to Roukai and that would be really hard to experience in one or two days. Right?" I explain, as we get to the castle of Solasis.
Rin nods understandingly and falls silent as you describe your plans to spend time in each kingdom. Her gaze drifts back toward the ocean once more, her expression thoughtful. It's clear that she has much on her mind, but for now she remains quiet and attentive as the three of you approach Solasis' grand entrance.
As guards at the gates step forward to announce your arrival, Elanor clasps your hand possessively and gushes about how wonderful it will be to finally show off their beautiful home. Marielle trails timidly behind her, blushing prettily and murmuring words of agreement. Rin, however, remains detached from the conversation, her attention focused entirely on you as she waits for an opportunity to speak with you privately about whatever it is that troubles her so deeply.

"Oh right, where do we sleep tonight, Elanor?" I ask her, while we walk inside the large sandstonecastle, as we go meet her parents and the rulers of this country.
Elanor smiles brightly and squeezes your hand reassuringly. "Of course I've arranged it already!" she says, her voice filled with confidence. "You'll be our honored guest in the royal wing, my lord." She turns to Marielle, who looks slightly relieved at this news, and continues, "And you as well, Lady Marielle. We shall all dine together tonight and discuss the day's events."
The three princesses lead you deeper into the castle, chatting amiably about the various sights and sounds they pass by. Rin, however, still seems distracted, her thoughts drifting elsewhere as she trails silently behind them. The further they go, the more obvious it becomes that there's something important weighing on her mind... something she desperately needs to discuss with you before the day is over.
As i see Rin slowing down, i use flash step to get out from the other two girls as they didn't watch and i tap Rins shoulder.
"Oh!" Rin starts, her heart leaping into her throat as she realizes you're no longer beside her. "My apologies, I didn't mean to be rude," she says quickly, curtsying in an attempt to regain her composure. There's a hint of relief in her voice as well, as if she was grateful for the excuse to speak with you alone.
She glances back over her shoulder at Elanor and Marielle, who are chatting amiably now about the beautiful tapestries that adorn the walls. "What did you want to talk about?" Rin asks softly, her gaze flicking briefly back toward yours before returning to meet your eyes. There's a sense of nervous anticipation in the air as she waits for you to respond.
"You seemed bit down, so i wanted to hear what's wrong and those two didn't even notice, as they only talk."
Rin nods appreciatively and leads you to a quiet alcove tucked away near one of the castle's grand staircases. "It's... there's something I've been feeling," she begins, her voice little more than a whisper. "A sense of foreboding, as if something terrible is about to happen." She pauses, searching your face for any sign of understanding or dismissal.
"I can't quite put my finger on it," she continues, "but I have this feeling that our journey together might not end well." The words are barely out of her mouth before she regrets them, wishing she had kept her thoughts to herself. But the fear and doubt that have been gnawing at her since you first arrived in Lumiere have grown too powerful to ignore.
She meets your gaze steadily now, hoping against hope that you will reassure her, tell her that everything is going to be alright.
I kiss her forehead. "Don't worry, we have one of the strongest beasts on my pocket." But, without knowing the two saw me kiss her forehead. And i notice that fact, i kiss both of them on the cheek. "Now you all are equal again." I say and slightly turn red.
Rin is caught off guard by your display of affection but can't help but feel grateful for it nonetheless. Her shoulders relax a fraction and she smiles weakly up at you. "Thank you," she whispers, her voice still shaky from the sudden surge of emotion.
Elanor, on the other hand, beams with pleasure at your attention. She curtsies deeply, her expression flushed with excitement. "You honor us greatly, my lord!" she exclaims happily. Marielle, meanwhile, blushes furiously and looks away shyly, her cheeks dimpling adorably as she tries not to smile too broadly.
The three princesses continue down the hall toward the throne room, their steps a little lighter now that they have your reassurance and attention. As they near their destination, Rin glances back at you once more, her expression thoughtful and curious. There's something in your eyes she can't quite place... a mixture of determination and confidence that gives her hope where before there was only fear.
We get to the throne room that feels nice and slightly cold with familiar kings aura but slightly weaker emitting from the large throne. "Oh, it's nice to meet you king of Solasis." I say and walk to his throne and reach my hand to shake his.
King Solas nods graciously as you approach his throne. "Thank you," he says with a warm smile. He clasps your hand firmly in greeting and introduces himself, "I am King Solas, ruler of Solasis." His expression turns more solemn then, as he takes in the presence of the three princesses at your side. "You are most welcome here," he says sincerely, "and I hope that you will find our kingdom to be as hospitable and inviting as it appears."
Elanor beams with pride, while Marielle ducks her head shyly in agreement. Rin, however, studies the king intently, her dark eyes darting from his face to the throne and back again. There's something about this man, something that speaks of strength and wisdom... but there's also an air of melancholy about him that she can't quite place. As they all sit down to discuss the affairs of their kingdoms, Rin finds herself drawn more and more deeply into the king's gaze, feeling as if there is some hidden message just beneath the surface.
"As visitor and only a prince, i'm most grateful for your hospitality. Elanor brought me here today, so it's nice to meet her father aswell."
King Solas smiles warmly at your words and turns his attention to Elanor. "You have done well, my dear," he says approvingly. "It brings me great joy to see our kingdom through the eyes of a respected guest." He pauses, studying you carefully before continuing, "I trust that you will find everything to your liking during your stay... and perhaps even consider making Solasis your home?" His gaze drifts back toward Rin for a moment before returning to rest on you once more. The unspoken question lingers in the air between them: what kind of king would you be, and how might that impact their lives?
the amphitere in my pocket wraps around my pinky again. "Oh i'm sorry, she was in my pocket." I say to king Solas, as the little amphitere plays between my fingers.
King Solas' expression brightens considerably at the sight of the little amphitere playing between your fingers. "Ah! An alphyn? What a delightful surprise," he says, leaning forward in his throne. "She must be well trained if she doesn't cause any trouble while traveling with you." He laughs heartily at his own joke, the other nobles in attendance joining in as well.
As the laughter dies down, Solas' gaze shifts back to Rin once more. There's a newfound respect and curiosity in his eyes that she hasn't seen before. He clears his throat, drawing everyone's attention back to business matters, but the weight of his earlier question still lingers in the air...
"Actually, we came here on her back." I say, as it continues playing on my fingers.
King Solas' eyes widen in surprise at this revelation. "Truly? That's quite remarkable," he says with genuine admiration. The other nobles in attendance exchange amazed glances, their expressions reflecting a mix of awe and curiosity. Rin feels the weight of their attention keenly on her shoulders as they marvel at her bond with the small amphitere.
Solas clears his throat once more, regaining control of the meeting. His gaze flicks between you and Rin several times throughout their discussion, studying both of you carefully. There's a newfound respect in his eyes for both of you, but beneath that lies an unspoken question: what does this mean for their future? And how will your actions shape not only the fate of Solasis, but also the other kingdoms?
"I came only to meet you actually, Solas, as i'm visiting countries these two princesses and your daughter are from and we just chose that we'd visit Solasis first, and i actually didn't know abput your meeting, so i'm sorry for interrupting." I say, as i see few of the other elders and kings in the crowd.
King Solas nods graciously at your explanation, but his eyes linger on Rin as he considers your words. "I see," he says slowly. "And what brings you to our humble shores, young prince?" There's a note of caution in his voice now, as if he suspects that there may be more to this visit than mere coincidence allows.
Rin watches the exchange intently, her heart racing as she tries to discern what might lie behind King Solas' line of questioning. She glances at Elanor for reassurance but finds none; instead, her sister looks just as confused and anxious as she feels. It becomes clear that the stakes are much higher than any of them had realized, and the decisions you make in the days to come will shape not only their lives but also the fate of Solasis itself.
