This was a commission I received recently! My very first, so I hope you all like it!
Disclaimer as usual for noncon/reluctance in this story. This is purely fantasy and I do not condone any forms of force, blackmail, coercion, or assault in real life. Please ask consent, please don't be weird, and please be respectful of everyone's autonomy.
This is a bit of a deviation from the norm. I'll give you all a break from the 'uglier' types I usually use in my stories lol. This is a femboy top story about a knight who's seduced under his service to him.
There's a good bit of build up and exposition here, so apologies if you wanted the sex to happen right away!

INTRO
In the kingdom of Loyce, there sits a proud expansive empire that has just ushered in an era of peace, after a long standing decade of gruesome war.
This kingdom, one of many, is considered the most luxurious in the land. From its clean cobblestone streets, its verdant green forests and hills, its spotless blue skies, and to its pristine architecture. Tudor housing, black tiled roofs, aqueducts and plumbing, white marble and stone, so that even the poorest live more clean than most other kingdoms.
The castle at the very center of the large kingdom was a tall, spiring, white structure that could be seen for miles and miles. A beacon of wealth and artistry. Sporting the colors of the country itself, royal white and sky blue.
It is run by the royal family, a vast and powerful line. The patriarch and monarch being the one King Leon. Leon's line was from a long history of war and terror, and as such, held himself above his skeletons as the comparatively 'gentler' and more 'noble' of his family. Heroic and honorable on the battlefield, but quite the barbaric degenerate in his private life. He took a queen from another kingdom, and together they were a perfect pair. Despite the king obsessing over him and his family's image, word spread quickly about how almost every night you could hear the castle quake with the king and queen's mating dance. This earned the king a disgusting but earned title of King Leon the Fertile. For him and his queen sired over nine children together.
Despite the snickering and rumor of the peasants and nobles, the royal family was held in high regard. King Leon had transformed a kingdom once run by barbarians and warlords, into a beacon of art, creativity, honor, and class. He was a redemption story parents would tell their kids for all time, that anybody could rise to the top.
As such, the royal family values strength and honor above all else. Of course, over the years, this is a facade. Only the rich, powerful, and lucky are able to earn spots among the rich nobles and royal lines. One would be lucky to even wipe the toilets of the castle's nobles. This created an oppressive and dangerous rat race within the kingdom.
A land such as this has no shortage of class disputes. Ingrained into everyone since birth is the need to rise to the top, to serve the royal family, and to rid themselves of poverty. The easiest way to do this... sign up for the military, study and train hard, and become a knight. If you're lucky you'll be selected to prove yourself by taking on the occasional hive of monsters or bandits. Now that the war was over, the wait list to becoming a knight was longer than ever before. Most believed that it was likely the cushiest position a peasant could ever receive.
This brings us to Milo. A scrappier man, young and naive. He stands about 5'9, black messy hair that hangs a bit. Milo is trying to become a knight errant, proving his valor and service to the royal family, hoping to lift his poor parents and sister out of poverty and into a more lavish style of living. He trained every day, turning himself into a shy and skinny twig into a relatively more fit man, worthy of holding a sword. By no means was Milo a giant though, in fact most of him was painfully average. 160 lbs total, a lightly toned and fit body, but nothing compared to the other knights that would be batting against him in the trials. It didn't help that the boyish youth and nativity still lingered across his face even at the age of 22.
That look would never leave him. That look of hope, and masculine pride. Since he was a child, he wanted to be a knight, he wanted to serve the royal line, and prove himself to this country that he was worthy of notice.
...And he was... just not how he'd hoped...
CHAPTER 1
Milo had arrived at the training yard, after two long years of training and trial, he would perform acts of valor and be tested in strength and intelligence, all in front of the royal family. If anybody stood out, they could become one of the royal's personal guards.
Milo stood about a head shorter than every other person there. Since he first joined as a knave, he was constantly ridiculed and poked at for his height and frame. This would be the day he would prove all of them wrong.
As the disinterested royal family, the King, the Queen, their daughters and sons, watched with lidded eyes at the boring performances before them. Watching above in a wooden platform, shaded from the harsh sun. The King insisted they be there to keep appearances up, even though he himself didn't want to be. Milo could read their expressions, and swallowed his nerves as he was brought before them.
Milo and his bitter rival, Blythe, were to duel with wood swords in the middle of a circular pit.
Blythe sneered as he saw Milo approach, both shirtless. Milo was ashamed to admit that Blythe looked far bigger and brutish than he did. Everyone already assuming the match was over before it started. Milo, though blunt and simple, was tactical, and knew where all of Blythe's weaknesses were. In fact there was never a better match up.
The two stood, glaring at each other.
King Leon didn't bother to stand.
"STATE YOUR NAMES!" He boomed.
"Blythe Kirkland my King!"
"Milo Waystone my King!"
"MILO! BLYTHE! I WISH TO HAVE AN HONORABLE DUEL! NO DISHONORABLE ACTS! NO FARCES! NO DIRT IN THE EYES! AM I UNDERSTOOD!" He yelled... for the 17th time today.
"YES MY KING!"
"YES MY KING!"
They brayed and snorted at each other as they held their swords at each other. Milo didn't let anger consume him, all the bullying, the names, the beatings, it all took a backseat. This was destiny, he would win this.
Blythe, sword held at his side, sprinted towards Milo. Milo didn't react, holding firm against the charging bull that towered over him. Drool flying from his snarling mouth as he swung savagely against Milo.
As soon as the sword connected, everyone rolled their eyes, waiting for the inevitable beating the poor lad was about to take by this brute... instead...
The crowd watched in awe, as with one arm Milo deflected his wooden blade, parrying it far from him.
Milo went low like a cat, swung his heel in a circle and knocked Blythe on his ass.
With 0 hesitation, Milo slammed his boot onto Blythe's sword hand, took the blunt pommel of his dummy sword and brought it down into the ridge of Blythe's nose, instantly breaking it. Just as Blythe cried out in pain, Milo brought it down again and knocked him out clean!
The battle was decided in ten seconds.
The whole company stood in silence and awe, the royals watched with eyes wide.
Milo stepped away confidently, throwing his sword on the ground and kneeling before his king before the match was even called.
King Leon... was thoroughly impressed, as was his family. One of the princes instantly stood and began to clap. The knights and knaves gave an ovation as well. Milo couldn't help but smile under his hung head.
The cliques of those who bullied him, mocked him, and sneered at him, couldn't help but clap as well.
"MILO WAYSTONE IS IT?" The King stood.
"YES MY KING!"
"RAISE YOUR HEAD WITH PRIDE! YOU HAVE PASSED THIS TRIAL WITH STRENGTH, HONOR, AND BRUTAL EFFICIENCY! THERE IS NO QUESTION!"
"THANK YOU MY KING!!" Milo almost cried.
"WAIT IN THE BARRACKS FOR YOUR NEXT TRIAL!"
"YES MY KING!" Milo sniffed.
He stood and had to compose himself as he calmly walked to the barracks alongside the other winners. The winners raising their eyebrows in awe as they saw him of all people sit with them.
Milo wanted to burst out in a fit of giddy laughter, but had to contain it, for the trials had only begun.
---
By the end of the day, Milo quickly realized that prioritizing combat efficiency above all else was a serious mistake.
He had essentially flopped every single other trial that followed after, that ego and pride was shredded rather quickly. Though he would never forget the compliments of the king, that would mean nothing if he didn't pass every other rest.
He returned home that night, stress across his face, to his loving parents in the outskirts of town. His mother and father were herbalists and doctors, who would help with small and affordable remedies to the poor and needy.
When he walked back in, his mother could already sense he wasn't having a great day.
"So... how did it go?"
"It... uh... went well... at first... then they made me answer a bunch of scenario questions, and I answered honestly... which I think was a mistake. Then they made us do recitations of the God's prayers which I didn't study... then they made us recite the honor codes... which I forgot... and then they made us ride horses... and we couldn't afford horses so..."
"So it didn't go well?"
"No I don't think so..."
"Well there's always next year sweetie."
"Yeah..."
His mother pouted, hating to see her son like this.
"I'm, uh, making brownies... if you want some..."
"...Were they to celebrate..."
"...Yes..."
Milo gave a half smile.
"Your father is out back still, but if he was here he'd tell you there's victory in defeat or something along those lines, so..."
"It's the thought that counts Mother, thank you." Milo chuckled.
He went in and gave his Mom a hug. He was just above her now, her boy had grown so much, and her and her husband were so proud of him for training as hard as he did.
The family ate together happily, enjoying brownies before dinner, rich and moist as always. Never could anyone make them better than Milo's mother.
