Umika's eyes slowly opened. She was aware of water trickling somewhere...probably some underground river that ran down through the hills. She smelled the pungent after-scent of sexual intercourse and wakened to see Sarkon's supine form quietly laid back on the Altar of Sheol. The warlord's First Wife, Malanya, lay beside him, her naked body molded tightly against Sarkon's side. To her surprise, Umika found that she had cuddled up against Sarkon's other side. Her breasts rubbed against the warmth of his chest, and she could feel the steady drumbeat of his heart.
For all she knew they been lying like this for hours. She slowly tried to sit up, the soreness between her legs palpable.
'Oh god. That bastard truly fucked me.' She couldn't remember everything clearly now, but a sudden melancholy gripped her. She thought of her sisters. Ishinai, her younger sister and Culiko, her older sister. Once they had all three been princesses. Now, even though Umika had found a way to be treasured and cared for by one of the most powerful men who walked the earth, her sisters faced dishonor...or worse.
'What will Father do with Ishinai?' she thought ruefully. Impregnated and dishonored, she would be damaged goods to him. Unusable except maybe as a minor enticement for some lower class merchant whose family connections might bring Father some benefit. He would trade Ishinai's body for access to new, lucrative trade deals to fill the imperial coffers. That was most likely.
And Culiko? Her fate seemed muddier. She was too loyal to their bastard of a Father. Yet if she did get bargained back, Father would see her as sullied goods too. But with her headstrong spirit, she might very well dissuade the few minor suitors who might be willing to take her hand in marriage. Father would probably end up sending her to a monastery to live out her life in abject solitude. Compared to that, Umika mused, being a sex slave fucking and sucking men's cocks seemed like heaven.
Her reverie abruptly dissipated as Malanya stirred. Umika gaped at Malanya's gorgeous tits and her pouting cunt lips, sticky with dried cum.
Malanya gave Umika a strange look. Where the Wujanian princess expected to see hostility, she saw...could it be sympathy?
"What are you staring at, cunt? By the way, you are to call me Greater Mistress or First Wife the first time you address me."
"Y-yes Greater Mistress," Umika sighed, turning her eyes downward. "Forgive this slave's foolish audacity in letting her eyes dwell on your gorgeous figure."
Malanya laughed. "You think so, truly? You think I am gorgeous?"
Umika smiled hesitantly. "Is that so odd to say?"
"Yes, actually, now that you ask." Malanya gave a sardonic smile. "There are many rivals for my husband's attentions. Many power-obsessed or sex-addicted sluts bad mouth me at every turn as long as they can get away with it. My husband has 108 lowly sex slaves, 49 sex slave mistresses and 11 wives. Few of Sarkon's mistresses are on good speaking terms with me."
"Forgive me for saying, Greater Mistress, but why are you even confiding this to the likes of me? Earlier you told me that you would not forgive me for what I had done, seducing your husband into initiating me as one of his sex slave mistresses."
Malanya gave Umika a curious look. "You really are too honest for your own good sometimes, aren't you Umika? I think you're clever when you need to be around men, but with women you seem to lack the same guile." Then she laughed, a self-deprecating music as she gestured toward Umika. "You'll have to forgive the harshness of my words earlier. When I'm feeling horny I sometimes say brutal things that I don't mean. Watching you sitting with your cunt hugging my husband's cock was more than bit maddening. I couldn't just let that stand without some punishment."
Feeling the tenderness in her tits and cunt made Umika blush, but soon her blush was forgotten in the wake of Malanya's forward questioning.
"I saw a pang of sadness in your eyes, Umika. Tell me what you were thinking."
"I am thinking that though I am content to be your husband's sex slave and Mistress, my sisters seem destined for other paths. I may not agree with my sisters or share their loyalties, but they are my sisters. I love them and wish not to be parted from them."
"Hmm. I can understand that," Malanya replied. "What if I told you I might at least convince Sarkon to keep one of them?"
A seed of hope sprouted in Umika's breast. "You would do this for me? But you hardly know me."
Malanya gave a sultry giggle, her hand reaching out to lightly caress Umika's tit. "I have tasted your juices lingering on my husband's cock. I can also size up a man or woman's character with a glance. I have no fears, dear girl. I know you well enough."
Umika sighed, trying to make that impossible decision. Whom to suggest, Ishinai or Culiko? Ishinai would be more malleable and willing. But Umika felt closer to Culiko. They were closer in age, and as children had gone off on many adventures together through their Father's sprawling estates.
"Ishinai?" Malanya asked. "I think she would be willing enough. Sarkon could send Culiko with your Ambassador and keep Ishinai as one of his harem fuck-slaves. She would be safe and looked after. He doesn't need Culiko as a bargaining coin anyway. That was just a bonus. In simply possessing you and Ishinai, he will pave the pathway for all he seeks."
"What does he seek, if I may ask?" Umika found herself saying before she could stop herself. "Did he simply slaughter our soldiers so that he could proclaim that he had captured three princesses and boast of his deeds? Father will be furious. He will come at him hard, like a hammer."
Malanya nodded. "True, Umika, but this is what my husband desires. I do not know how sheltered a life you lived back in your homeland, but I think you know that your father was using your marriages to form a political alliance with my husband's enemies in Zubia. He would not stand for it. He WILL not. By preventing those marriages from ever taking place, he has isolated your father and forced his hand. With the borders between Zubia and Easteros crawling with my husband's Dark Horde, no messenger will get through to tell the Zubian King what has befallen the three of you."
