Visit to Greavaria: Part VII

An hour later the two entourage from the remaining visiting kingdoms arrived. After all, they also had alliances between them, so it was normal that they would join together for the common purpose.

The herald finally made the announcement of the first entourage.

"I announce the entry of the Lavamore Empire ambassador and his entourage."

The doors have been opened.

A slightly handsome man, with blond with blue eyes entered. He had some adornments in his hair and a gold earring in each ear. He wore a brown linen shirt, brown pants, boots of the same color, and a sword was slung around his waist.

Behind, came a few knights, and farther behind were the servants who brought the offerings.

The ambassador walked towards the throne and his eyes met Dylan's.

The ambassador's facial expression changed from serious and steady to amazed and surprised at Dylan's beauty.

He finally genuflected and introduced himself.

"I answer by the name of Scott Burkholder. I come on behalf of the Lavamore Empire. I will stay in the kingdom of Greavaria for two days. I humbly ask you to take care of me and my entourage please. I bring with me some modest gifts such as gold, precious stones and fish."

"Welcome Scott Burkholder. Stay as long as you need."

"Thank you your majesty," Scott got up and walked out of the throne room.

"I've never seen a woman like the princess. Two extremely handsome and important men have entered, but she doesn't move. She still has that air of superiority and indifference."

"And what did you want a promised woman to do?"

"Oh... do you care?" asked Ian teasingly.

"No... It's simply for ethical reasons."

Ian gave a low, light laugh, "You don't even believe it. How many betrothed women don't sleep with other men?"

"We'll talk about it later. They'll announce the entry of the other ambassador.

"I announce the entry of the ambassador of the Zogary kingdom and her entourage!"

The doors have been opened.

In front came a beautiful woman of Middle Eastern origin. She had her hair long to her waist and it was all braided. She wore a short red blouse that left her big, full breasts exposed. She wore red harem pants and a pair of golden balghas. She had numerous gold adornments around her neck, arms and waist.

Behind her, came some warriors, although they were all covered up to their heads, could be seen that they were all women.

Even further back came the servants carrying baskets of gifts, they also were women.

At that moment, Dylan's facial expression changed, he was no longer firm or rigid. On the contrary, he was more relaxed after seeing that beautiful, slender woman. By the way, who wouldn't notice her.

The ambassador genuflected, "I come from the Kingdom of Zogary. I am Narjis Maghadam, the ambassador who comes on behalf of the kingdom. I will stay in the kingdom for two days, I ask you to take care of me and my entourage. I bring with me some modest gifts such as gold, weapons, cloth and spices."

"Welcome Najris. Please stay in the realm as long as you need."

"Thank you your majesty."

The woman got up slowly and looked at Dylan.

She opened a teasing smile and Dylan forgot where he was, what he was doing there and smiled back.

The ambassador left with her entourage.

"Women..." Archie watched Narjis leave, "it's the first time they've both seen each other and they're already threatening each other."

"I don't think so."

"What?"

"Did you really see the entourage of the Zogary Kingdom?"

"Yes."

"Didn't you think it was weird?"

"Why?"

"The entourage only had women."

"And what's wrong with that?" Archie frowned.

"The Zogary Kingdom is known for having women on the throne or in power. Not that there aren't men, but women hold the power."

"Yes, but I still don't understand what you really mean before."

"They have sex with each other..."

"W--- what?"

"Exactly."

"But that's an abomination... I could never imagine myself with someone of the same sex... Never..."

"Yeah, Zogary women are like that. Not that they all have sex with women. Some have sex with both men and women, others just women... Anyway, the queen there is married but she never hid that she sleeps with women."

"Yuck…" Archie couldn't hide his displeasure at hearing that.

"And that Nejris.. she has never been seen with a man before, so I don't believe she was confronting Dylan, she was marking territory."

Archie looked at Dylan and noticed he was different, more relaxed and thoughtful.

"Now that you talk…" Archie commented, still looking at Dylan.

Finally Arthur and Dylan rose, heading towards their quarters.

"Finally this ridiculous reception is over... We stayed here most of the afternoon..." said Archie standing up.

Ian rose smoothly to his feet and still stretched.

"I'm going to talk to the steward, I need to know what activities are left for today."

"It's late. What else can these barbarians occupy us with?"

"I don't know. That's why I'm going there to know..."

"As you wish..."

"Let's go..."

Both finally left the throne room, Ian walked forward, towards the castle office and Archie to the left, towards the royal chambers.

He entered his bedchamber, took off his robe and put over the armchair.

He went to the bed and threw himself on it.

"I'm extremely tired..."

"Archie... I'm coming in..." said Ian entering the bedchamber.

"So what's still there today?"

"Nothing. Except for the banquet that will take place later. It will be done very early, as the visitors are tired, they need to eat and sleep early."

Archie folded his arms under his head, not looking very motivated for such a feast.

"The feast will be in two hours, then I'll drop you off."

"Do what you want…" Archie closed his eyes.

----------------------------------

Dylan entered the room and saw Lizha as usual.

Dylan placed a hand on his waist and stood there thoughtfully.

"So... How was it with the ambassadors?"

Dylan shook his head with a goofy grin on his face.

Lizha frowned, not believing Dylan could make that face.

"Dylan?"

"You won't believe it. One of the ambassadors is a woman..."

"And what's wrong? Shouldn't?"

Dylan started pacing, "Nothing like that... She's stupidly pretty... Wow... How daring... Her breasts almost came out of that tiny piece of clothing..."

Lizha was still there looking at Dylan. After all, he didn't even bother to hide his interest in such. woman.

"And she has a waist... Wow... I want her for me..."

Lizha frowned even more.

He must have gone crazy, Lizha thought.

"You should know you're not in a position to want that sort of thing..."

Dylan ran a hand over his head, remembering that there, at that moment, he was a woman.

"If I had revealed my identity as a man I would have married that ambassador."

"I didn't think that sort of thing interested you."

"I'm still a man after all..."

"Well... Anyway. Are you coming from the throne room? In an hour the feast will begin."

"No, no. I come from the castle office, I left the throne room an hour ago. The Emperor's son's escort was there."

"What were you going to do there?"

"I was going to know the schedule for the last hours of the day."

"I understand..."

"Did you know...?"

"What?"

"The companion of the Emperor's son is married, it was the first time I saw the ring."

"Hmm... Interesting. But have you seen that other escort?"

"Who? He only has one, doesn't he?"

"That attendant servant."

"Ah... That... What about him?"

"He is so cute..."

Dylan grimaced, "I never noticed him..."

"Don't say. He's been here two days and you never noticed him. But the big-breasted ambassador…" Lizha said wryly.

"Obviously. Men don't interest me. Of course I wouldn't notice a servant."

"You're the one who knows Dylan. Anyway, you have to get ready for the feast."

"Yes... The banquet... If it's to see that woman with the full breasts, I'll go..." Dylan said already taking off his clothes.

Lizha sighed.

----------------------------------

Dylan and her companions were going downstairs, in the hallway they saw Narjis and her companions coming from somewhere.

Najris stopped and bowed, ditto her companions.

"Najris... Did I get it?"

"Yes your highness…" she replied, still upside down, not believing that the princess had spoken to her.

After all, Najris was one of the most beautiful female ambassadors and who stirred the wrath of royalty and nobility women

"Lift your head."

Najris did so.

Dylan and Najris looked at each other for a few minutes.

Najris' eyes were bathed in black pencil and her full lips in red lipstick.

Dylan looked Najris up and down, and stood for a few seconds looking at Najris' breasts, which almost came out of that tiny piece that looked more like a bra.

"I hope you left some pieces of clothing like that for me.." Dylan cracked a smile.

"If your highness prefers, I can leave this one I use," Najris returned the smile.

"See you at the banquet."

Najris nodded.

Dylan started walking, still looking at Najris.

Najris also followed Dylan's footsteps.

"Hey... hey... hey..." said Ian seeing that scene between Dylan and Najris, "did you see what what did I just see?" asked Ian still walking down the stairs.

"What? Two women confronting each other because one has a bigger chest than the other?" Archie asked without showing much interest.

an stopped in the middle of the stairs "Do you really believe that?" he asked in disbelief that Archie couldn't see the obvious, "that princess... The way she looked at the ambassador... It's just like a predator looks at its prey... It's how we men look at women ..."

"It's in your head... From then on... You're in the middle of the stairs."

Ian started walking again, "I don't know... Take time during the feast to see how your princess looks at the woman from the middle east."

"Alright."

The two headed towards the great hall, where the banquet alluding to the visits of ambassadors from the allied kingdoms was to take place.

As they entered the Great hall, a servant approached them and led them to the table where they would have their meal.

This time, Archie and Ian were going to sit with the visiting ambassadors and their attendants.

Archie sat down, to his left was Keith Gingerich, full of perfume, enough to resurrect someone, next to Keith was his escort and further to the other side Scott Burkholder. And to Archie's right side, sat Ian.

Dylan was this time seated at the table reserved for the noble maidens of the realm, including the ambassador from the Middle East.

At the royal table, there was only the king, Arthur Montgomery.

"Look at your princess's table…" said Ian as he ate.

Archie did so. He saw Dylan and Najris talking as if they had known each other for a long time. They were already touching themselves.

Archie began to rage.

She never smiled like that at me like that. She doesn't even know this woman... She hardly touches me..., thought Archie, all upset.

"There just remains to kiss..."

Archie didn't answer anything, just limited himself to taking his water glass and drinking a sip of that liquid, that would be important to put out the flames in hid body, which was like an erupting volcano.

"I'll be right there," Ian got up and went somewhere.

"So... You're Archie Seaford, the son of the Emperor of Greavaria, aren't you?" Keith asked calmly.

"It's just like you said. But unfortunately I don't remember your name," Archie replied teasingly.

Keith chuckled slightly, "My name is Keith Gingerich, ambassador of Lourutor kingdom."

"Hmmm... The realm is not well known."

"By commoners..." Keith replied calmly.

Archie didnt comment, but just did what soothed him most, which was to drink a glass of water.

"So, you're the one who's going to marry the princess, aren't you?"

"Exactly."

"You're so lucky... She's very beautiful. I heard she's been back to the Kingdom just a few days ago."

"I heard the same."

"So she actually lived in the convent and only just now returned to the kingdom? I've never been with a woman from a convent."

"It's natural."

Archie continued with the cold comments.

"You get back to Promor the day after tomorrow don't you?"

Archie reached for the water glass and to his amazement, the water had already run out.

Archie was extremely angry and Ian was not coming back.

Archie gulped, "Was you asking?" he looked around for a servant so he could serve him water.

Keith gave an unbelievable laugh, "I asked if you're going back to Promor the day after tomorrow."

"That's right. You're well informed," Archie held up a hand for a servant.

"Too bad. Anyway, I'll still be in Greavaria for two full days. I want to believe that I'll get to know the princess well," he chuckled.

Archie could understand that Keith emphasized the malicious well.

Finally after decades, Ian appeared, ditto the servant who was going to pour Archie water.

"You took a decade. Where were you?" Archie asked, all annoyed.

"I had gone to the lavatory."

"Hmmm..."

Ian looked at him, "Did something happen?"

Archie remained silent.

Both returned to enjoy their meal.

Keith suddenly got up and walked suspiciously out of the great hall.

Few minutes later Dorothy appeared and gave Dylan a small piece of paper.

Dylan got up and walked towards the exit of the great haal

Archie followed Dylan's steps, then glanced at the chair where Keith sat.

This must be his doing, Archie thought.

He abruptly rose from his chair, forgetting that he was in the Great hall.

Ian looked up and saw Archie hurrying out of the hall.

Archie walked out of the great hall and stopped outside the doors and looked around, seeing only the line of sentry royal knights.

He quickly left there and headed towards the stairs that gave access to the royal bedchambers.
