Lord Daygar entered the Kingdom city of Mercuria astride the huge white charger once belonging to King Serif, followed by a small delegation of five Lords and several foot soldiers. He and his men could only look in wonder at the splendour of the wealthy City, the ornate architecture and statues brought from all corners of the known world by their extensive fleet of merchant ships. No one took any notice as the small party passed them by, complacent to visiting dignitaries wishing to purchase the exotic spices and cloth or just to dribble over the vast array of gems and precious metals. Everyone in the City appeared to be dressed in various degrees of wealth and status with no obvious signs of deprived people.
Queen Flavica stood amidst a small guard on a dais in front of her Palace as Daygar and his men dismounted leaving their horses in the charge of the foot soldiers, walking the short distance to the bottom of three steps leading to her.
'Welcome, Lord Daygar,' the Queen announced in a small but confident voice. She motioned for him to approach and he swiftly climbed the steps to stand alone before her, bowing low in respect for her Royal status. This Royal beauty didn't belong to him, yet!
'Your Royal Highness,' he said lifting his head to appreciate the woman known as the 'Jewel Queen'.
Her beauty was everything he had heard and imagined and more. She was slightly built but not in a girlish way, this was a woman not a mere nymph like his Princesses, standing proudly and resplendent in a long gown of pure woven gold. He had heard of such material but never seen it and she shimmered in its figure hugging grandeur; her skin was olive and eyes large and wide and piercingly hazel above high cheekbones. Her hair was the colour of a raven's back and gathered into a delicate creation supported by a golden crown studded with at least a thousand diamonds.
Daygar was impressed. It was said that no man had ever seen her hair in its natural state, reputedly reaching to her feet and Daygar's cock stiffened beneath his ornate robe. He had chosen not to wear armour and he and his small party were bedecked in ceremonial clothing out of respect for The Queen.
Queen Flavica eyed the huge man before her, his reputation had preceded him and his exploits on the battlefield were becoming legendary as were the treatment of the women he had captured. She had heard of the fate of the three Princesses at his hands and shuddered beneath her exquisite gown as the image of him taking them flashed across her mind. Another image of this huge brutish man ravishing her mercilessly followed it and suddenly her pussy tightened in a strange mix of fear and excitement!
She turned on a heel of shimmering bejewelled sandal and led the party into her Palace. The splendour of the City was seriously outdone by the intricate magnificence of the interior as the Queen led them into a large receiving hall, taking her place on a small rostrum in a lavish throne alongside which stood a man, little more than a boy. This was Prince Irad from the island Kingdom of Octavia and potential suitor of the Queen, clad in richly embroidered robes, his boyish face and flaxen hair typical of the western isle people. They nodded respectfully to each other then Daygar ignored him.
'I am here for two reasons your Majesty,' the Giant Lord began without preamble. 'Firstly we require large quantities of supplies to enrich the poor of Arania and improve the lives of the people of Slaveria. This will take ten of your ships sailing to my port on the Western Coast.' He studied the Queen for her reaction to a purchase of such magnitude.
'Do you have the means for such a request?' she said simply.
'I have the means Your Majesty. The Kingdom of Arania hoarded much whilst subjecting the many to a pitiful existence. I have this treasure at the border of our two Kingdoms for inspection by your merchants but I must insist on delivery in one large shipment. I wish to enrich my subjects at the same time, not piecemeal which may cause friction. There is more than enough to pay for the basic items currently not available to them.'
The Queen was surprised at Daygar's unaccustomed philanthropy and nodded her approval. 'See that the merchants prioritise this request.' Several aides left the room to Daygar's delight. 'And the second request?'
