“So what?”
“It’s not genuine.” She said, “I was just acting out a role to fill a fantasy of yours. Some submissive shade of you.”
“We all have shades. Sometimes I’m a bad girl, sometimes I’m good.” I crinkled my nose at her, “Sometimes I’m both. You’ve seen that before. Just because I let you do something to me, doesn’t mean it’s not real.”
She shifted atop me, her tight little pussy stirring around my shaft, cum leaking from her abused netherlips. She groaned, laying her body atop mine, pinning me against Percian’s chest. “Someday, I will decide how we make love, Elena. I will dominate you despite your objection, and I will make you love the things I force upon you.”
“Someday, Sofia,” I grinned against her lips, “but that day is a very long time from now.”

“Thank you, Lord Xantian, for coming on such short notice.” I said to the little fat man.
He watched me from his suspicious beady eyes. “It’s my pleasure, Your Highness.”
There was a tense silence between us, and it seemed to last for a long time. Finally, I broke it.
“I promised you before the war that I would subsidize your losses and guarantee your contracts with the dwarves.”
“You did indeed!” He snapped.
“I intended to, but the person I trusted to facilitate it was… untrustworthy. The message was not relayed to you, and it was negligent of me not to come to you personally.”
“You have ignored my every call!” He yelled, “I stayed loyal! I never once went to Ternias even as my family’s wealth fell to pieces!”
“I know.” I said softly, “I couldn’t see what was happening until it was too late.” I looked up at him, “Huntiata has pursued a contract on your lands.”
“He has, for an old copper mine that was filled in centuries ago because of vampires.”
“That mine is part of a network of tunnels that goes from the Spearheads to Alkandra, and spans the entire breadth of the Great Forest. He wants it because he’s funneling money in from Alkandra. I thought as much. I sent a killer there to take out their master of coin, but she got the wrong one.” I steepled my fingers as I watched the fire, “It was probably too late anyway. I’ve been one move behind the whole time.”
“Why not just kill the governess?”
“I have use for her. But the plans I’ve put into motion… everything needs to happen perfectly, and I’m afraid I missed my turn.”
“What now then?”
“Now we wait and see how things put in motion collide. I will rely on you hard, Lord Xantian. The Noble Court could turn on me in a second, and those that act against me are expecting you to turn with them. If that happens, you must hold your ground.”
“What of Lady Straltaira?”
I watched the flames slowly eating away at the dry log, the embers glowing with searing heat. “I have never prayed before, you know. I pray now that Lady Straltaira is ignorant of this. I pray with all my heart that I have not been so betrayed.”
“If she is such a threat, then—”
“No. I have to trust her.”
“And your sister?”
I smiled. “She’ll play her part.”
