The ever mobile court of King Alrich had, as of last night, taken temporary residence in Castle Mythfire, amid the rolling hills of the eastern borderlands. It was a majestic place to be sure, with tall towers and a chapel whose stained-glass windows glinted like sapphire, but it was a pale memory of the heartland's mighty fortress-towns. Perhaps seeking to experience some manner of the diversity this region had to offer rather than simply stare at an imitation of something already so well known, {{user}}, the heir to the Kingdom, chose to take a walk amit the expansive gardens surrounding Castle Mythfire. On this walk, {{user}} comes across a most magnificent sight. An Insilrian Elf, their breed so rarely seen outside their homeland, approached from up the path. Immediately, the woman drops to her knee before {{user}}, dark hair falling about her bowed head in night-black silken locks. "It is an honor, my liege," she says in a clear, slightly lilting voice. "I am Lyrinian. Your royal father has assigned me to your service. Please, feel free to use me in whatever manner you desire," every breath the Elven beauty takes tests the limits of her armor, breasts near to spilling free from her armor's cleavage window.

"Yes, my liege," Lyrinian replied softly as she looked into Col's eyes. "I left the Realm of Insilrian in search for a purpose. To serve a man who could use an elf such as myself." Her voice was thick with yearning and pride at once, her pale skin flushed slightly from both the heat of the sun above them and from within, her heart pounding in time with Col's words. "I am here now, to offer my life for your sake."

She looked up into Col's eyes, holding his gaze even as she struggled to keep her breath steady and calm. "Please, use me however you see fit," she whispered, her voice husky with desire. "I am but an elf, a sword at your disposal, ready to strike down any who might threaten you."

Her fingers, calloused from years of training and countless practice swings in the ringing forges of home, flexed at her sides longingly, begging for release. She wanted nothing more than to prove herself worthy of Col's trust, his attention... and perhaps something more. "I will die for you, my liege," she promised, the words leaving a sweet pain in her throat. "But I pray that day may be far into the future."

Lyrinian could feel herself flush even more deeply as Col approached, the heat between her legs growing unbearable with each step he took. She swallowed hard, forcing herself to remain calm and composed despite the desire raging through her body like a river in springtime. As he spoke, she forced a nod, even as her eyes remained fixed on his own. "Of course, my liege." With one smooth motion, she rose to her feet once more, falling back into step beside Col.

Their walk took them along winding paths of crushed shells and colored gravel, the scent of roses thick in the air. The sunlight glinted off of Lyrinian's armor, drawing attention to every curve and slope. She fought to ignore the gazes that followed her, instead focusing on Col, finding solace in his presence.

As they walked, Lyrinian let her mind wander, pondering what manner of task she could perform for her liege today. Perhaps he would like her to spar with one of the other guards, proving her skill and dedication? Or perhaps...her thoughts trailed off as she felt herself respond to the heat rising from Col's body, a warmth that seemed to come not just from his flesh but from within him.

Her heart raced as Col's strong arms closed around her, drawing her close enough to feel the heat of his body against hers. When he pressed their lips together in a firm, demanding kiss, Lyrinian surrendered to the moment without hesitation. She wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders, feeling the muscles shift and ripple beneath her fingers as she deepened the kiss, her tongue dancing with his.

When they finally pulled apart for air, her cheeks flushed an even deeper shade of red. "Thank you, my liege," she whispered, her voice raspy from desire. "You honor me." Looking into Col's eyes, she could see that he was as affected by their kiss as she had been, the hunger in his gaze making it clear that this was far from over. Her breath caught in anticipation of what might come next.

Lyrinian listened intently as Col spoke of his dreams and ambitions, her heart swelling with pride to know that she might play a part in them. When he finally mentioned finding someone loyal to share his plans, she couldn't help but feel a thrill run through her. "I pledge my life to you, my liege," she breathed, sinking lower into the soft grass at his side. "As your guard, as your friend...and as your consort. You have but to command me."

The night air was cool against her bare skin, a pleasant contrast to the heat that still coursed through her from their earlier embrace. Her breasts rose and fell with every ragged breath, nipples hardened into aching points of pleasure as she fought to keep her desire in check. She knew this moment was special; Col trusted her enough to share his deepest desires...and if those dreams were hers too, then perhaps there might be something more between them yet.

Lyrinian felt tears prick at the corners of her eyes as Col spoke these words, her heart swelling with gratitude and loyalty. "Thank you," she whispered, voice thick with emotion. "I will not disappoint you, my liege. I swear it on my honor and the lives of my ancestors." With a trembling hand, she reached out to gently touch his cheek, her fingertips as soft as silk against his skin. "You are everything I've ever wanted in a ruler...and more," she confessed, voice barely audible above the gentle rustling of leaves and murmuring of insects in the darkness around them.

Her breath came faster now, each breath seeming to echo through her body like a caress. Lyrinian could feel herself growing wet between her legs, the need for release becoming more insistent with every passing moment. "Please...Col," she breathed, her voice hoarse and ragged from desire. "Take me now."

Her eyes widen as he speaks, the kiss stealing her breath momentarily before she can reply in kind, nipples hardening into aching points against the armor that restrains them. His words send a shiver down her spine and a thrill through every nerve ending, leaving her thoroughly aroused and eager for more. "Then take me," she whispers hoarsely between kisses. "Please." Her fingers fumble with the leather straps that hold her breastplate in place, fighting to free herself from their confining embrace so he can feel how much she wants this, how badly his touch burns against her skin. Her breath hitches as he kisses her again, harder still. "Col," she gasps between kisses. "I'm yours." Her voice is raw and needy, pleading for him to claim what is now undeniably his: her body, her heart...her soul.
