Thread: The Queen's Harem! ...er...I mean...Retinue! (Javorcek X SomethingEsoteric)

See more Ten years ago, King Aiden Kolev was lost in the Great War between the kingdoms of Trinil and Heidelberg. He was a military man at heart and of course, despite the warnings of his Generals, he wished to be on the front lines with his men. Besides, how could he expect his people to follow his lead if he was always ordering them around from the safety of back? As fate would have it, Aiden died on the warfront. But at least, before he passed away, he had managed to secure Trinils safety and independence from those damn invading Heidelbergians. The only family that King Aiden had left behind was a daughter Princess Danika Kolev the sole heir to the Trinl throne. Unfortunately, little Dani was only 15 at the time. And so Viceroy Alexander ran the nation until she came of age. Seven years ago, Danika had turned 18 and was finally, legally, allowed to rule. However, the Viceroy had grown very comfortable living out a nobles lifestyle. And of course, when Danika had -politely- asked him to get out of her throne, the Viceory had refused claiming that a young woman was not fit to rule such a large kingdom. And so, Danika had not-so-politely ran him through with her sword in response, effectively terminating his position as Viceroy. Her father would have been so- proud. Six years ago, a year after the Viceroys death, the people of the kingdom seemed to be happy enough. Perhaps it was Danikas If you dont like it, you can get out attitude. Unhappy citizens left, curious ones looking for a change of pace took their place. What was most of note was that many men had left, and women had been the ones to take their places. The thought of having a Queen rather than a King seemed to entice many independent or strongwilled women to take up residence in Trinil. Today, Queen Danika Kolev , known as Dani by friends, Mlady or Your Majesty by her lessers, and That Bitch by her opponents, could be found lounging in her throne room patiently waiting for her afternoon appointment with a slave trader that was passing through the area. Danis 20th birthday present to herself had been the creation of a Harem. And today, on her 25th, she celebrated the occasion by allowing whoever wished to leave the harem to do so, as she did every year, and purchasing herself some new faces to fill their spots. Ah and here came the trader now! Perfect, right on time. Dani was so excited to start filling in those spots-- well -one- spot she had open in her Harem. Ermnot Harem, Retinueat least, that was what the Madam that oversaw the health and happiness of the girls liked to call it. And perhaps the word retinue was more correct anyways Dani didnt keep mindless slaves around to sleep with. Most of the women she employed were quite bright andor talented able to provide the Queen or her visiting friends with various forms of entertainment, not all of it carnal. Almost all of the girls enjoyed her company and over the years, quite a few of them had chosen to stay in her service. But every once in awhile, someone would want to leave, to start a life and start a family, and Dani was more than happy to give the newly freed harem girl a lovely chunk of back-pay and all the well-wishes she could muster. Your Royal Mayesty! Ees honor to see you again. Astor bowed low as he greeted the Queen in her rather simple throne room. His thick, Slavic accent made him difficult to understand at times, but Dani had gotten used to the way the man spat out his English with each annual visit he paid to the castle. The graying slaver had been in this business for many years, and always brought Dani a very diverse selection of girls to peruse. Youre right on time Astor, very good. Im glad the weather didnt keep you. Trinil was experiencing an early winter. Snow on the ground and it was still technically fall! But she was glad that the recent snowfall had not kept the slave trader, she did hate to be waiting. So! Lets see what youve got for me this year. Once the slaves were finishing shuffling about and lining up in the grand, but simple throne room, Dani very carefully began the arduous task of examining each and every one. Thankfully Astor had only brought her 15 girls to examine, otherwise she might be here all day! The 3 that had dropped to their knees and refused to look at her, even when she attempted to tilt their heads upwards were immediately sent away. Mindless subservience was not something Dani wished for in a new toy. She carefully examined the remaining faces and quickly took note of their limbs ones with broken noses or poorly mended bones were probably prisoners of war, and Dani had no need for a fighter. Her Captain of the Guard was already over protective she knew that if she took a warrior into her Retinue the Captain would have a heart attack and claim that the girl was too dangerous. Pfffttoo dangerous! Dani stood at 510, her lithe body lean and covered in toned muscle. She was fair with a sword and quick with her tonguethere were very few dangerous problems she couldnt stab to death or talk her way out of. But still, the Captain was one of Danis closest friends, and the Queen would not give her friend such a headache by filling in such a silly indulgence. So two more girls were sent away for having the markings that told her that they were once warriors or slaves that were kept as guard dogs or pit fighters. Now just to check their teeth Ones mouth was very important to Dani. Thats usually where she was looking when she was talking to someone. Eye contact was such an aggressive behaviorone she had never quite gotten used to. So she usually looked at someones nose or mouth when they were speaking to her. That being said, a mouth full of crooked or missing teeth didnt rest well with her. Not only was it a bad visual, but it usually meant the slave didnt know how to properly take care of herself. With a surprisingly delicate touch, the brunette carefully grasped each girl by the jaw. One by one, she coaxed their mouths open so that she could examine their teeth. One of the lovely ladies attempted to bite her, which made the Queen chuckle. She did love ones with a bit of fight! As she moved along down the line of remaining girls, some of them trembled under her touch, and others seemed to be soothed by a hand that was politely insistent, not rough or overpowering. A handful more girls were sent away, leaving her with just five more to inspect. The last five of you, remove your clothing so that I may inspect you more closely. Five left! Wellthis last bit of testing should only take a moment. Dani wished to see how responsive the girls were to her touch in moreerogenous places. Plus she needed to make sure they werent covered in lashings. While shed take a girl that had just come from an abusive master, she wouldnt take one that was going to fight her every step of the way. Training new harem girls on how to satisfy her needs was finebut preferred it to be an enjoyable experience for both parties rather than a major headache for everyone involved. Behind Dani, Astor glared at the women and motioned menacingly towards his whip. The girls would be getting a very rough whipping later if they made him look like a fool infront of the Queen by disobeying one of her orders!
