In the royal bedchamber, a naked woman, knelt on the bed between two muscular figures.
The one behind her was driving his hard cock into her over and over as if his life depended on it.
At the other end the man with his cock in her mouth seemed less enthusiastic.
The queen, for that is who she was, seemed merely a puppet. A rag doll, pushed back and forth between the hard cocks of her partners.
Surrounding them, a collection of men and women in fine robes watched the spectacle in an almost clinical manner, as if preparing to award scores and medals to the participants.
"Time!"
One of the crowd held up an hourglass for all to see and the action on the bed stopped briefly.
The man who had been pumping the queen's pussy scowled and exchanged places with the man in her mouth who seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Once they were both in position the hourglass was inverted so the sand started to trickle through again and then put down on a small table for all to see.
"Resume" came the formal command and, before the word had even echoed off the stone walls, the man now in her pussy was fucking for all he was worth.
He was a Nubian. Jet black with big bulging muscles and a huge cock. He also had tremendous stamina and staying power but today that would count against him.
When the old king had died without issue that had caused a big problem.
With no clear heir it was almost inevitable that a war would ensue between the kingdom's two neighbours to seize control.
Neither neighbour really wanted a war. They were costly and unpopular with those getting killed in them.
The kingdom itself, being right in the middle stood to be hit hardest of all so a clever compromise was proposed.
If the queen were to become pregnant with the child of one of the neighbouring princes that child could be accepted as the heir and form the basis of an alliance that would ensure peace and stability.
They would, of course, also be a puppet ruler under the control of the neighbour that fathered them, so the stakes were high.
The whole process had to be fair and, above all, open and above board.
The queen couldn't just quietly have an affair with one, or certainly not both.
No, this had to be a very public affair. Literally, the impregnation must be done in such a way that neither side could be seen to be at an advantage.
