After I finished changing into the outfit that Llyr had bought me at the boutique, I went out into the hallway to had Araluen, the maid, guided me to the dining hall.
The hallway was quite simple; marble columns opening out into a patch of grass, lining it about 10 feet wide, then going down off a cliff into the water. The other side was just a wall of stone similar to concrete, but I didn't know the exact type.
The walkway was similarily made of marble, and if I had to be honest, it was so clean that I almost slipped a few times. Looking more closely, I saw gold lining the base of the marble columns, a similar case with the circular ceiling as well.
Everything was pretty much as clean as can be, however there were some marks left over from water. Perhaps they carved the callum while underwater, then brought them up to build the palace as they finished.
"I must admit that other than the random cliffside, the palace is truly beautiful," I exclaimed, glancing over at the grass and smiling a smug little smile.
"Haha, yes. Many people in the past have complained about it, but the cliffside in parts of the palace is for security reasons. Though, yes, despite this palace being isolated from the rest of the kingdoms, it is indeed very well taken are ofl!" Araluen agreed, explaining some of the reasons for certain things in the palace as we walked.
She explained some of the history of the 11 islands, as well as the mythology the locals had before the Alkmene Kingdom took over. She explained how she was a naiad, native to the island's numerous waterfalls. She also told me that Minister Viatrix was a Nommo, a minor god from the mythology of the old island power, and while no longer worshiped as they used to be, the Nommo were still as powerful and wise.
"Wait, if the Nommo were minor gods back then, and people still worship a god here, then who do they worship?" I asked. I still didn't know much about this world and their gods, other than what Hunapo had told me.
"Hahahaha, well it's funny that you ask. It's not well known outside of the islands and the underwater cities, but the being that the people worship now is His Majesty," She explained, looking over at me sympathetically smiling.
"...Say what now?" I said as I stopped walking, my mouth hanging open and a blank look on my face.
'You're telling me that I was captured by someone who is practically a god!? He's worshipped by his people, there's no way I could possibly convince anyone to help me escape now that I know that!'
As I was panicking and crying internally, Araleun was checking the time on her watch. She then panicked and started to drag me along with her, saying something along the lines of "We are almost out of time!" or "If I don't get you to the dining hall quick, breakfast will be over and the king will have my head!" with a panicked expression on her face.
Before I knew it, we were in front of the dining hall doors. I finally snapped out when I realized that and was instead left marveling at them. The doors were large, but not too large.
The doors were made out of Aquaprase and decorated with carvings and inlay gold, looking closer at the carvings, they seemed to have different kinds of sea folk as well as other types of sea creatures on them.
But before I could admire the workmanship anymore, Araluen knocked on the door. "Your Majesty, I've brought the Viscount."
They swung open, almost hitting the two of us in the face. When the doors opened, I saw that the room was smaller than I thought it would be. It was a semi-circle-shaped room, tiled marble decorating the floor and marble columns like the ones out the hallway, but this time connected by marble railings.
In the middle was a circular table made of aquamarine and wood, the legs inlaid with seashells. Sitting at the table was Llyr, wearing a short white tunic similar to Lancelots but it looked fancier. The tunic was made with better fabric and was a tab bit see through, it was also wrapped in a way that let you see part of his upper chest.
He wore slightly loose light-gray pants underneath, a gold pattern sewn on the bottom. The tunic was inlaid with gold with it. His tunic's accent color was a larimar stone and wore gold jewelry.
"Lev! I'm so glad you're finally here and awake!" Llyr beamed, practically running over to me and hugging me, managing to get his arms around my waist. "You had no idea how sad I was yesterday when I couldn't eat with you!"
"Right…Can we talk ab-" I started to say, but was then cut off by Llyr taking my mouth in his and kissing me, "Mmh!"
"I-I'll just excuse myself, pardon me, Your Majesty, My Lord," She said bowing and scurrying out of the room and the servant that opened the door following her, my helpless gaze following them as they exited.
"Mm!" I moaned, his mouth now entering, exploring as it pleased. He was still holding tight onto my waist, but feeling that I was trying to run away, he usedhis other hand to hold onto my head.
For a man who had no prior experience in this kind of activity, his kiss felt amazing. I had to admit that I was giving in a little, my eyes glossing over and starting to close, making me forget all that happened and how or why I was here.
He soon started to walk me over to a couch, strategically placed in between the collum and the wall connected to the door, the perfect place to illicitly do explicit things to someone at.
Upon having the back of my legs tap the armrest of the couch, I snapped back to reality. I quickly pushed him away, unfortunately falling back onto the couch myself, I covered my flushed face with my arm and gritted my teeth.
"Your Majesty, just what do you think you're doing?" I questioned, now fully grasping why he was in a hurry to eat with me, but also knowing the real meaning of his "Breakfast" at 11 o'clock.
"Oh my dear Viscount," He said standing upright and slicking his hair back with his fingers, he then walked toward me, who was still on it and struggling to get up due to how cushiony it was, "I'm simply trying to enjoy my breakfast, don't you want to as well?"
"Apologies, but what I count as breakfast is eating food at a table, and I have yet to actually see any food on that table," I jested, motioning over to the table with my head, a smug smirk spreading across my face, mostly out of nervousness.
'God damn it! I was sent to this world to help save it, not have sex and get married to some fish god!'
"Ho? Then your food must not be ready is, however, my food is right in front of me, so I hope you don't mind me digging in," He said smiling and slamming his hands beside my neck as he bent down over me and put his knee between my legs.
"Hng! I think you must be mistaken! I am a dark elf, not food Your Majesty. So wa- Eeek!" I tried to lecture but was cut off by him trying to unbuckle my belt, "What on earth do you think you're doing!?"
"It's like I told you, I'm trying to enjoy my meal. And fret not, my cute little half-dark elf, I'll keep you alive, but still eat you in a different way!" He smiled crazily, having already taken off the belt to my jacket, and trying to unbuckle the one to my pants.
"Urgh! YOU MOTHER FUCKER!" I shouted, punching him right in the kisser and wiping that horny smile right off his face, unafraid of the consequences.
He fell off the couch, right onto his but. He looked at me with a bewildered face and his teal hair messed up, holding the side of his face where I punched him. Llyr looked shocked, truly amiss at why I had punched him.
At the moment, Llyr resembled a child. Unaware of why someone was being cruel to him, and oh so innocent, not realizing he had done something wrong. He opened his mouth a few times before finally saying something.
"W-Why did you punch me?" He asked, tears starting to swell in his eyes, he then mumbled something I was just barely able to make out, "Th-This isn't how it was supposed to go, you were supposed to let me have my first time with you, then we'd fall in love…"
"I don't know where the hell you learned that 'fall in love' bullshit, but what you just tried to do with me it's…It's not fucking okay!" I yelled at him, finally getting up and standing over him, his expression still like that of a child who wasn't learning what someone was trying to teach them.
"B-But they said I could have everything I wanted! Since I've been alone all these hundreds of years they said they could give me all they had!" He started crying like a child, saying things that didn't make any sense to me.
He started balling and wiping his tears with both of his hands, his legs folded on both sides beside him. To me, he resembled a five-year-old, one who had been given everything by his parents, but when he couldn't have it wanted, he had to face the hard truth.
"I don't know who told you that, but you can't have everything in this world," I said, sitting on the couch in front of Llyr.
"WAAAAHHH! But they, hic-! Said that everything in this land was, hic-! mine and that i could do anything i wanted with them! And you're here, which means your mine!" He announced, still balling, then grabbed my pants and laid his head on one of my legs. (A- yes, he is man spreading)
"I wasn't born or made here, i was brought here against my will. I belong to another kingdom, so unless i married someone here and gained citizenship, that does not apply to me," I lectured, still ticked off at him.
"Y-Yes you are! Hic-! You're mine! I claimed you, and you saved me just like a knight in those fairy tales. Which means that we must get married and live our happy ever after! Hic-!" Llyr continued, still not understanding what I was saying at all.
I sat there for a moment, pondering what i had done in this life to deserve this. I leaned back in the chair, staring at the ceiling tiredly for a moment. Llyr was still crying and throwing a tantrum like a little child, just annoying me even more.
Eventually, i snapped and slapped him in the face. Then grabbed his chin and glared at him with my teeth clenched, almost grinding them at how annoyed i was at him.
"Shut the fuck up! You're a grown ass man for fucks sake! Not some child who misses their mommy, so stop throwing a damn tantrum and grow up!" I lectured, getting up in his face with my hands still squeezing Llyr's cheeks.
"...If i stop crying, will you willingly stay…? At least for a little while?" He asked, tears still streaming down his face, but with puppy dog eyes this time.
"Haaaaa, fine. As long as you grow the fuck up, and from today on stop acting like a child and an actual king for the gods' sake!" I insisted, finally letting go of his face. Though the only reason i agreed was because it didn't want a war between Kingdoms starting in adition to the demon lord waging war
"Of course I will! Especially since you are the one that asked me to do that!" Llyr agreed, going over to the table and ringing the bell that was sitting ontop of it, while i fx my clothes, "Ah, this feels like our lover story is finally starting!"
"Oh, just shut up about it!" I said rolling my eyes and going to sit at the table, "And if you really want me to fall for you, then start acting like a proper king."
"Don't worry, i'd do anything to win you over! Even if i have to change myself completely!" Llyr exclaimed cheerfully, taking my hand and kissing it.
A little while later, a maid came in and served us lunch, instead of breakfast. An hour had past since i first came into this room, first i came in to have breakfast with a child, and now i was in here eating lunch with a grown ass man who is slowly starting to act his age, first by acting like a horny teenager.
