Harem Fairie Tales - Captured Princess
The door bursts open, the lock broken by the helmeted head of one of the brutish guards who have kept me here for days now. Splinters fly everywhere, and though I probably should, I don't avert my gaze.
I've waited for this moment for
so long
. My rescuing prince, here at last.
He steps in as if from a dream. Smoke billowing around his feet. An imposing figure: tall, helmeted, holding a heavy blade, helmeted, and clearly in excellent shape judging from the ease of his movement in his heavy, dusky blue armor. Smatterings of blood are visible along his sword and various armor piecesābut a
tasteful
amount. Not so much that it would be imprudent or gross to leap into his arms. Enough to let me know he's fought and killed to save me.
My heart flutters, a tiny bird's wings, thinking of that. Killing for me.
Saving
me. A
quest
for me.
It's just like one of the stories!
I'm trappedāor
have been
trapped, I suppose, now that my hero is hereāin this dungeon for days. It's utterly awful. The bed is half as large as I'm used toāonly a good nine feet by nineāand I've been suffering with three pillows instead of five. I've only had
one
servant to bathe me, and all the clothes are either from last year's style or so terribly revealing that no respectable princess would ever wear them. They serve me fresh vegetables and fruit, can you believe it? Fruit! Like I'm some awful porker they're trying to get to drop weight when I'm
already
filthy hot and thin.
Of course it's the evil crone sorceress Sybille Le Fane who has captured me. That wicked, ugly bitch has been scheming for years, ever since my father tossed her out of his kingdom. Little does she know that capturing me will be her fatal mistakeāthe sorceress isn't the only one with a trick or two up her sleeve.
I mean I'm
not
wearing sleevesāthe clothes here are so dated, like I said. This tiny gown is more fit for a ball from last year's Winter Gala, bright white and with a
deeply
plunging, wide neckline. My Sir Knight can see all of my exquisite collarbones, my long neck, the delicate arrangement of my hair. I've been spending the mornings here in the woefully inadequate sunlightānearly half of the windows in this parapet are
north
for goodness' sakeāmaking myself look pretty in case he arrived.
Of course, I'm a princess, so looking pretty is quite
easy
for me. It always has been for the girls in my bloodline. It's said we're descended from the consorts of the warrior god, his blonde winged Valkyries. With how naturally tall, fit, busty, and blonde I am, you'd believe it to see me.
The entered knight tosses away the corpse of the guardāa complete savage, only sneaking me three or four special treats a dayāand takes a long look at me up and down. Such a look would call for execution from a peasant; from this obviously noble knight, however, I can feel a flush rising up from my sensational cleavage all the way up to my ears. My breasts heave in their tight confines. I'm afraid this dress may burst at an inopportune moment, the fabric is so clingy and thin. He can see the gentle edges of my rib cage, the inviting protrusions of my hip bones.
"My knight!" I clasp my hands to my rising breasts, keeping his eyes there. "I'm so thrilled you're here! You come to rescue me?"
"Aye."
He is a man of few words. That is fine by me; I would love a husband who will not talk much. A man of
action
. Lovely; wonderful.
"May I see you, Sir Knight? May I know the face of the one who has saved my day?"
He shrugs and lifts his helm up. I squeal delightedly; he's
smashingly
handsome. Dark-eyed, dark haired, and a ruggedly handsome face like I've always dreamed of.
"Oh, Sir Knight? May I kiss you? May I please,
please
kiss you in thanks for your rescue?"
He shrugs, again, nodding. "Aye."
I shall cure his ambivalence with enthusiasm!
I press my body into his, knowing the feel of my tight, young, eighteen year-old body must be a delicate comfort after such a long, hard quest as his. Our lips meet, tongues intermingling. His handsāat first slightly unsureācome closer around me. He drops his helm and presses the pommel of his sword deep into the cheeks of my rear, hiking my body up into his.
It's a lovely, sensational, amazing kiss. I frankly think I must very nearly be in love. It's so lovely to be there at lastāat last! As a wealthy, beautiful, land-owning teenage princess, I feel like I never get what I want. It's so lovely, too, that he's clearly a fighter. I must admit to being rather turned on by the bloodshed done in my name; it's so exciting to be
wanted
so badly. This moment is so, so perfect, but still I must ask...
"Sir Knight?"
I pull away from him briefly. His eyes smolder and I'm tempted to kiss him again; he clearly wants me to do just that.
"Of course, you know I am Princess Marjorie Bernadotta. But who, might I ask, are you?"
"I am Prince Vincent," he says. Smiling just slightly. "Of Terandren."
I gasp. How
scandalous
.
I thought at
worst
he would be some minor land-holding noble from a house I barely recognized. But this is even
worse
. Houses Terandren and Bernadotta have been feuding for years.
Both of our lands are so completely wealthy and enormous that our border skirmishes have been often compared to the all-out wars of other, lesser families. It's a shame that hundreds and sometimes even thousands of peasants and common people must die to preserve the sanctity of our respective familial estates, but sanctity
is
rather important, and it's not as if those peasants were doing anything truly important. If they were, why would they be peasants?
"Do-does...your father know?" I ask. "Does
mine
?"
"No one knows. No one else was man enough to risk the journey here. Just me."
I melt inside a little. My mind is racing, thinking still of the scandal this will create. Obviously, I
must
