linda’s destination ended up being her own estate. She had summoned a carriage, and it took about ten minutes before reaching a small mansion on the outskirts of the capital city. Min gave desperate and confused looks, but I rely shrugged and smiled. It was strange to have Min along with in public, but after spending so much ti with her, I found her presence to be very soothing and calming. I felt happy knowing that she would have my back.
The mansion of the Fry estate was impressive, and I found myself marveling at the way nobles lived as we were taken to her study. Although compared to the mansion I had gone to the night before, it’d be considered small, it had a decadent and simple form, and it looked a lot more livable than the sex mansion.
As linda offered Min and refreshnts, Destine and Mary were brought in as well. When their eyes t mine, they whitened a little, and the pair turned away, looking nervous. linda stared at the pair’s actions with falcon-like eyes and a small frown.
“You two girls wouldn’t be succumbing to rumors again, would you?”
The two girls stiffened at her words, and after a mont they let out sighs and faced us again. It ended up being Mary who spoke up first.
“That is… the rumors this ti seem to be reputable, and…”
“And they’re true.” linda shrugged. “Cornelia told herself what happened.”
The two girls made surprised noises and gave a look until I turned my head in mock sha.
“Then?”
“But, wouldn’t you want to hear the truth from your friend, rather than silly rumors?”
“Ah, that’s true…” Destine said like she was letting out steam.
“We were going to! It’s just, we haven’t had the ti to think about it-” Mary started
“And that’s probably a good thing!” linda interrupted. “Less you end up forming conclusions.”
“Right…” The two girls lowered their heads and sat down, properly chastised by the force of linda once again.
“So, now that I’ve got us all here, why don’t you explain yourself?” linda gave a nod to , giving the opportunity to talk.
Part of was thankful that she did this for . I understood that she was supporting in her own way. She wanted to be able to get over it and to do that, I needed the support of other won my age. As fondly as I thought of Destine and Mary, we’d only known each other a few weeks and they had no real incentive to want to stay my friends, they had no reasons to doubt so of the things they heard about .
However, I also understood that I was a bit of a sexual deviant, and if they truly knew what I had been up to that previous night, I might lose more than just their respect. However, as I looked into linda’s eyes as she gave a reassuring smile, I couldn’t help but speak honestly. Well, at least as honest as I was willing to go.
Simply put, I admitted to going to the party. Julian had invited and insisted my husband-to-be would be going, and after seeing my future husband with Sylvia, I told them I wanted to see what he was up to. I didn’t want to feel apart from the rest of the royal family, so I took on the offer.
I didn’t give details on how many n I’d been with, but I ntioned the dungeon and how I ended up seeing the little girl. They laughed when they heard how I had sent Sylvia crying. And when I revealed to them that the king was planning on de-flowing a ten-year-old girl, they made the appropriate noises of disgust. I didn’t ntion Devon, but I did tell them I had found soone to help the ten-year-old escape. When the story was done, Min and linda rely nodded, both having heard most of it before.
However, the other two girls remained silent for a bit until Mary broke the silence. “You’re a hero!”
“Eh?” I made a stupid noise as she suddenly looked at with adoring eyes.
That was not what I was expecting them to say. Although their expressions seed to suggest I was being silly for thinking they would reject that was a far cry between looking at with admiration.
Destine nodded as she spoke. “To think that is what happened. I can’t believe the King would strike his own future daughter-in-law, but I am glad to hear I picked you well as a friend.”
I tried to protest the girls, to let them know that my behavior was far from admirable. However, they seed to be focused on the wrong things. The fact I was at the party and engaging in sex with unknown n seed to be lost on them next to the story of standing up to a king and saving a young girl. As I tried to get them to realize the truth about , linda pinched my side and I turned to look at her with a pained expression.
“Ouch! What?”
“Just let the girls see things their own way,” linda whispered. “They’ll work things out on their own, but at the end of it, you’re still you.”
I sighed as I looked at Min nodding in agreent next to her. When did Min and linda suddenly end up on the sa team? Either way, I relinquished and allowed the girls to co to their own conclusions about my actions, even if they seed to be twisted into so kind of action figure saving a young Maiden from a cruel King. The fact that the man was their King seed to be lost in the fantasy of it all.
“However!” linda suddenly spoke up. “I didn’t bring you all here to discuss the rumors surrounding Cornelia. No… we are here for a much more interesting purpose.”
I looked up in surprise, and so did the other two girls. We had all assud that we were simply here to support each other even while the rumors were flying all over the castle. Besides enjoying so tea, cookies, and talk, I had no clue what else we ever did.
“You, elf girl, they call you Min, yes?” linda’s finger suddenly pointed at Min, and I had to fight the urge to put myself between the two as Min’s eyes widened.
“Mm…” Min responded simply.
“You’re also the one who makes all of Cornelia’s dresses, right?”
Min’s eyes furrowed, but after a second, she nodded a second ti. anwhile, linda nodded while the rest of us rely wore confused looks.
“Would you be willing to make the rest of us dresses? We’ll pay you, of course… but I’m bored with the local seamstresses and was hoping to find sothing new.”
“linda!” I said in an admonishing tone.
I wasn’t sure if I was upset or not. I saw Min as sothing closer than a slave, so having soone treat her like a servant for hire bothered slightly. However, she offered to pay so I guess that was more like asking to hire a craftsman. Before I could decide how I felt about it, Min gave a look and then nodded to linda.
“Oh, I wanted one of those nightgowns, a sexy one like you make for Cornelia!” Mary spoke up excitedly.
Before I knew it, Min was taking asurents of the three won, who were dressed down in their underwear. I admitted to taking a few peeks before Min noticed and threw a dark look. I spent the remainder of the ti turned away from the won although they couldn’t understand why I was looking the other direction.
In the end, I had to listen to three almost naked won giggling and talking while I pretended to be interested in the artwork linda had hung on the wall. Min had it wrong though. It wasn’t like I was sexually attracted to my friends. I’m more interested in n anyway, and while I can enjoy a female body, it’s not like it would turn on by itself like a male body could. If they were three n in their underwear talking and laughing, I’d find it considerably more tempting.
Don’t get wrong, if one of the girls was naked and fingering herself while moaning my na, yeah, I could see myself growing excited, but I could look at myself in my underwear any day, and being attracted to won as a woman didn’t necessarily strike in the sa way as a man might find a woman attractive. Simply put, my sexual attraction for won didn’t work that way.
No, the reason I wanted to peek was more for the sake of comparison. I could guess how our bodies compared, but I never really got a good view of them and if I wanted to understand this world’s standard of beauty, I needed more examples. Min treating like a horn dog was just completely unfair.
When the girls finally finished placing their orders and being asured, I finally turned back around and moved over to Min. I moved close to her as she continued to scribble on so paper with a pen and ink that linda had provided for her.
“Are you sure this is okay?” I asked Min quietly.
Min looked to make sure no one was listening in before whispering back. “Mm… need money for after.”
I stared blankly for a mont until I understood what she ant. She was, of course, correct. I wouldn’t remain a princess forever, and when Denova was finally defeated and the pair of us were free to go our way, we would suddenly find ourselves in the need of money. In those few words, Min had suggested she was saving money in order to support once we were out of this situation. I wasn’t sure how I felt about this. I lived in a world where both the man and wife worked, and I didn’t feel great about being supported by Min. I then realized those thoughts were accepting Min as my wife, so I pushed them away and joined the won as they chatted.
“… saved the entire village.” Mary was explaining.
“Who saved what?” I asked, joining the conversation a bit late, but needing the distraction.
“Ah…” linda spoke up. “Mary was just suggesting you might not be the only hero in the kingdom.”
“Hero? You an like the one who defeated the Demon King?” I asked, suddenly very interested in what they were talking about.
“Oh, no.” Mary shook her head. “Nothing so grand as that kind of hero. However, there was a band of adventurers who protected a village that was attacked by bandits.”
“Bandits? Like the Bandit King Denova?” I frowned, taking my experience with Bandits.
linda barked a laugh. “As if adventurers could have repelled a Bandit King. That village would have been ashes if it was anyone so organized. Just a random grouping of bandits. Probably trying to get in good with one of the Bandit Kings.”
“The King may honor them.” Destine broke in.
“Ah, yes… another knighting perhaps.” linda shrugged. “Classic move to push aside unrest. Raise a commoner up to lower nobility, hand him so farmland, send him away, and the people have a hero and the belief that they too could beco noble if they fight hard enough.”
“Eh?” Mary had a tight face. “My family beca nobles this way…”
linda sighed. “I an nothing by it, dear, I’m not speaking badly against the nobles who rose the ranks. Just ignore my silly anderings.”
That seed to be enough to satiate Mary, and her face loosened. I was considering what they were talking about. Being a noble seed to put you in a hard place. In the end, you were basically dependent on the decisions of the King, but you didn’t always agree with them. For example, these girls knew that most of the nobles in the city went to these sex parties, and every day they had to pretend that this sort of thing didn’t happen, feeding into the illusions they didn’t agree with.
Either way, another person being knighted had very little to do with . I still didn’t know where I stood in the royal family after this day. Would the king still treat the sa way even after hitting ? I assud that my relationship with Julian and Gregory was basically over, but how about Richard? Would he continue to treat indifferently after we had sex? How would he react after having seen the previous night?
“There was one last thing I brought you all here for,” linda spoke with a smile, then waved a hand at a servant who was attending nearby.
She bowed and then left the room. The rest of us voiced our questions, but linda rely smiled like a cat in the cage with a bird until the door opened again. Two n suddenly walked into the room, and I instantly recognized the pair.
“Sandor! Pratter!” I spoke up while standing before I could help myself.
“Ah, there she is!” Sander spoke up, holding his arms out. “The genius that revolutionized our business.”
I went up and gave him a hug. He patted on the back affectionately. I went and hugged Pratter as well, although he acted considerably more shyly, holding his arms around a box to his side and only giving a nod and a smile until I pulled away.
“So, what are you guys doing here?” I asked.
“That is…” Sandor gave linda a nod. “Your friend here has been using your na. You haven’t stopped by our place recently, and we’ve been aning to speak with you since our last eting.”
I turned back and gave linda a look, but she shrugged unapologetically. “Well, it seed to that you basically invented the sex toy industry in this nation, you should be privy to so of the benefits.”
“Benefits?” I asked.
“Ah, right!” Sandor snapped and Pratter put a box on the tea table, which the servants had quickly cleared. “Our business was always decent, but after you gave use the idea of selling sex toys, the business has exploded. We have requests left and right, from dozens of nations. We’re going to be opening up stores in the capitals of other countries. And perhaps most importantly, we have been offered seats in the rchant’s Guild. That’s the highest honor for a rchant to achieve! And I must say, it’s all thanks to you…”
linda waved her hand. “Get on with it. We’re not growing any younger.”
Sandor shot linda a wry look and then turned back to . “Well, if you ever need anything from us, we’ll be happy to help. Orders, transport, you na it. However, the reason we ca out today, upon linda’s suggestion, we wanted to show you so of our next generation sex toys!”
“So that box then…” I looked down at the box on the table and twisted my mouth.
“Ah, yes, well the stuff we sent you was just our first-generation stuff. We figured we could do better, so we wanted you to see what we ca up with.”
He began reaching into the box and pulling out small vials of stuff. I glanced down at the vial pressed into my hand. Since everyone else was uncorking it, I popped the lid off of mine and slled it. It had a sweet fruity sll.
“These are?” Destine asked,” It slls like a peach.”
“Ah, those are lubricant. After I heard tell of the male enhancent potions going around town, it gave the idea to use a nonmagical lubricant that tastes and slls pleasing.”
The girls all made surprised and eager noises. “This would make it taste a lot more agreeable when I’m…”
Mary couldn’t finish that line, turning into a pile of blushes.
“You know,” linda chuckled. “Those potions are made exclusively by Cornelia…”
This ti it was Sandor and Pratter’s turns to exclaim in surprise. “You created the potions too? Incredible! If you could give the recipe, I’ll pay you handsoly!”
“Ah, that…” I gave a smile as I corked the lube and handed it back. “Family secret?”
He seed to want to push more, going so far as to sign an exclusivity deal, but eventually, a word from linda got him to back down.
“Those lubricants are oil, aren’t they?” I asked.
“Yes, I do use oil in them,” Pratter confird with a nod.
“That ans when they experience friction they can create heat. It can be uncomfortable during high friction and can even cause your condoms to rip. That’s why most lubricant where I co from is water-based.”
“Ah… a water-based lubricant, you say?” Pratter scratched his chin.
“Wait, what is a condom?” Sandor demanded.
This is how I ended up explaining condoms to the group. I believed that the old day condoms were made from sheepskin or sothing. I said everything I understood about the process.
“Hmm… it’s an interesting idea. Prevent pregnancy and the spread of disease during sex.” Sandor nodded. “But magic can already keep a woman from getting pregnant and any healer could take care of most diseases. The priestess even offers free birth prevention spells at the local temple once a week. They last for a month. However, if a woman misses her spell, she’d have to wait for the next ti. I know a lot of pregnancies that occurred because the woman forgot or couldn’t wait until the next ti the temple opened. Perhaps I could find a market for these. Of course, we’d have to develop them first.”
We finished passing around and tasting the lube. Mary was the most interested, actually tilting the vial and drinking so instead of just sticking her finger in, leaving us all laughing at the look on her face.
The next item turned out to be the one I was most interested in, the prosthetic penis. Although it didn’t look much different from the standard strap-on, they claid that it could be put on and would ultimately emulate a penis perfectly for the wearer. It used illusion magic to make it look real and even beca erect or softened based on the arousal of the wearer. However, before I could grab the thing, Min picked it up.
I asked him if I could buy it now, and he waved his hands. “I wasn’t lying dear, you could order whatever you want. Take the whole box with you if you want, it still wouldn’t be enough to even out how much you’ve done for us.” Sandor smiled.
“In many ways.” Pratter’s eyes twinkled.
Fortunately, the other girls were distracted playing with magical restraints he had brought out and didn’t notice our conversation as Min pocketed the fake penis. However, I was getting the sense that the introduction of sex toys had done more than make the couple rich. I think their own sex lives had improved as well.
The magical restraints were interesting simply because they were magical. That ant they could change length, tighten, or strengthen based on the will of the user. This reminded of Min’s sexy dress which I had abandoned at the eting. I ntioned the dress in part to Sandor and Pratter, and before long they were also placing an order with Min to create a few prototypes, although they’d be a lot tar than mine.
We were also shown a dildo that could lengthen and widen based on the user’s will, which included a throbbing mode that certainly tempted . I ended up adding that to my collection. The box also included a prostate stroker, a specially made vibrator that could easily reach that certain area. The girls didn’t get it, but by the way Pratter and Sandor looked at it I suspected they had gotten quite a bit of use out of one just like it.
There was a ring which told the user when they were starting their period. All four of us demanded one, but as their benefactor, I got the only one they had brought with them. I put it on my finger as the other girls gave jealous looks, even Min. They also had so nipple clamps which shot out a little electricity. I had seen the things at the sex club so they must have already been selling them. The other girls were not even remotely interested in it.
The last item was the equivalent of a vagina pump. They had a penis pump as well. I hadn’t suggested the existence of either of the items earlier, so Pratter had co up with this design on his own. Essentially, it was a cup you put over your sexual organs, and it would create a sucking feeling by vacuuming out air. Many people had the belief that penis pumps were there to increase the size of a guy’s penis, however, they didn’t likely work that way. Instead, they existed mostly to fulfill a sexual stimulus that so people must enjoy.
I had forgotten these existed in my world, and frankly, I struggled to see the appeal. However, linda had quickly shown interest in it and had forked over several gold coins to buy the one they had. Unlike , the other girls had to pay.
The evening drew to a close as we went through Pratter and Sander’s mobile stock of toys. I had taken Pratter aside and discussed a few more ideas, including the creation of a whip. I didn’t sugar coat the fact that I was not only looking for a toy whip but also a weapon. He said they usually wouldn’t, but because it was , they’d look into it.
As our night wore on, our tea had transitioned to wine, and we joked, told stories, and played around until the evening. Min wasn’t really part of most of it, but like when we were in my bedroom, she stayed off to the side and watched after . Surprisingly, she had also managed to get Pratter’s ear, and the two had discussed sothing in private.
However, when I tried to get her to talk, she rely put her finger to her mouth and said. “Secret.”
Her look was cute enough that I couldn’t bring myself to force it out of her, so I figured I’d have to wait. As it started to get dark, I finally got over the fear of going back to the castle. Spending a day away from the castle after the previous night had been a good idea. I felt rejuvenated now, and I felt like I was more equipped to deal with whatever the King and other nobles threw at . I still had Min and Reinhart, and even to an extent Devon, so I could make it.
linda gave a reassuring nod, and I felt relieved that I had run into a woman as caring and supportive as her. I had never gotten along well with my mother, so in a way, she felt like a mom to . I gave each of the three a hug and got back into the carriage with Min, who had also taken enough wine that her cheeks were glowing red.
The trip back to the castle was uneventful, but when I opened the door into my dark room, I saw a figure standing there. They were cloaked and imdiately suspicious looking. I almost turned to call for a guard, but when they turned I saw under their hood and gasped in recognition. I knew the person in front of .
“Jenai…”
