The former prince, that had just turned King but a few months ago, stops at the wash stream to see his mistress. He watches as she toils away at the family clothing. His thoughts are not reserved for the manner in which she cleans the threads....no...it is more towards the growing need in his loins that causes him to sit high upon his stallion and watch her work. Then with a even tone...he a addresses her in his commanding voice.......
Her chores are interrupted at the very sight of him. All he need do is crook a finger in her direction and she follows him into the woods. Both parties happy to see one another again........
Her steps need to be quick so as not to lose the mounted King in the thicket and brush. Her eyes steady themselves ahead. But once again he appears to be leading her to their most favorite spot. And she is right. Once dismounted, the King and she fall into one another's arms....tugging at the bindings of each other's clothes until their bodies are freed enough to fuck. She lies back on the mossy spot and shamelessly parts her legs. He smiles. Her finger now does the crooking as the young King brings his cock to bear at the entrance of her heavenly gate. Then with a firm grunting push....they are joined. They kiss....suckle... and embrace in a lovers grip....flesh pounding against flesh...sighs flying forth from both of them....with a culmination of sexual climax not too far in the near future....
But this is not the proper beginning for our story....no....our story actually begins some years earlier with the turmoil that nagged at the former king.... the new King's father... the wise and once powerful,. King Daniel.
The old King had reached a point in his life where concerns about his ' holiday on earth ' might be coming to an end soon. And even though it was a beautiful spring morning,. He still brooded. His body pained him in new and different areas and the duration for recoveries became lengthened. Battles and affairs of his kingdom had taken their toll. Now his mind drifts in the same direction as all old men, and that was of his family. He did adore his lovely wife, (the queen, and twenty years his junior).....and his handsome young son...and considered them the most valuable of things in his possession. They were his banner of success. But he knew there was just one more thing that he desired.....that was grandchildren! He felt that this would complete him and ensure a legacy to the throne well into the generations. But there was a problem. The prince was not inclined to marry soon. The intended bride for his son was still just 12 or 13 years old.....and there might not be enough time to wait. He dwelled on this some more...and a little more...finally deciding to seek advice from his council....
It was wise to present his quandary to these learned men. It didn't take long for one of his scholars to unearth a little known doctrine that might be helpful. As it was written....the prince could sire a child to be the King's rightful grandson provided that the intended bride understood that she would be honor bound to treat it as her own upon the event of their marriage......and ....that the act and rites of conception would be performed in the presence of no less than one dozen of the brotherhood of monks. The idea here is that there would be so many men of the cloth bearing witness, That no one could later dispute the claim of the pending child to his claim to the throne. The last thing here was that the surrogate mother -to-be could not be from any royal blood line, that only a commoner would do. The King was very accepting of these terms and sent notice to his son's intended bride immediately........
The poor young girl had no idea at all of what to make of this proposal. It was ludicrous and somewhat out of her realm of understanding. She brought the matter up to her parents, And in turn, they set the matter before their council....
Much debate and angry pounding fists could be heard before a settlement was made. Her parents conceded that the elderly King had every right to want a grandchild delivered to him in life....but would not allow it to happen without a handsome sum of coin and property to be forfeited. And that was that......
Once the King learned of this...there was no keeping him from making good on their requirements, and then when that was all set, he gathered his team of physicians and council together and sent them immediately to the village to find the woman most suitable to bear his son's child. Preferably a boy child!
Early the next day...while the men toiled in the far away fields, palace solders poured into town and defrocked all women from the ages of 18 to 50, Wherever they might have been at the moment, and set them one by one in front of the Kings council for examination. You were making bread at the time...when all of a sudden you are confronted by two of the King's guard and made to shed your clothing at your feet. There was some hesitation on your part to do as they insisted. It was plain ridiculous to think that you might. But the men were in no mood for frivolous displays of modesty, and before you could protest any further, strong hands rip the meager clothing from your trembling body. Then thrown into a chair, the guard's hold you down by the shoulders and wait for the examiners.....
Yelps and cries from other women nearby could be heard as they too were stripped and inspected. There didn't appear to be any molesting happening, just the sounds of indignant women being viewed by men that were not their husbands. In time....four well dressed men enter your home and cast their eyes upon your nakedness......
