Ruined Empires (For Demorica and Friend)

Hearing him stir she looked up for a moment then back to what she was doing. Smiling she realized his order to her was rather simple and she knew she could do that, since it was no different from being naked around the servants when they insisted on helping give her a bath. Nodding she slowly stood up and was careful about keeping her balance while the carriage was moving, knowing a single bump in the wrong direction while she was standing would possibly throw her off balance and possibly into him.

Little by little she removed her clothing, first the corset over the dress she had to unlace from the back and let it fall to the floor, next she untied the ribbon in the back of the dress and that too fell from her body and to the floor, all of her clothing seeming very simple. Lastly were her undergarments which she slightly hesitated at, but in the end removed piece by piece. Now standing in front of him she looked away and out the window, trying to keep her hands at her side instead of covering herself like she wanted to, but she did not want him angry with her or to harm her for doing so. Keeping her gaze from him she looked nervous, so much she wanted to cower in a corner and hide, but she remained still and waited for him to take a look as long as he wanted.

"So... Is my body to your liking my Lord?" She asked softly, unease about what he would think of her body displayed for him, trembling slightly as she stood there, uncertain of herself. She had never had to display herself like this infront of a male before so it was new to her and she had many mixed feelings about it.
 
Athnir watched as every piece of her clothing dropped away from her body, his eyes following them to the floor before looking back up at the newly exposed skin. He had to adjust himself as the last articles of cloth slid away and joined their bothers on the ground. His lips held a soft gentle smile at seeing her lovely body, and the emerging bulge in his pants told that he was quiet pleased with her.

"You are indeed beautiful." He said simply, nodding his head as he stared at her for a long time. Finally, he spoke up again. "I had thought about getting you to either pleasure yourself in front of me or have you use those lips of yours on something of mine," he said before looking out the widow as well, "but instead I think I'll just wait until we reach home. You may get dressed again." He paused for a moment before turning his head back towards her.

"Tell me something: against your people, we've noticed that your men never had any beards and kept their hair shorter and stylized differently then us humans. Is it a cultural thing or is your species unable to grow large amount of hair at all?"
 
She could all to well see the bulge in his pants, blushing a little more, averting her gaze from it until he took in as much of her body as he pleased. Hearing him she managed to speak a little, “Thank you My Lord, I know my kind are naturally fit, but I do look after myself as well.” She replied shortly before tensing at what he was going to have her do at first, but seeing him changed his mind was a pleasant surprised that she did not question and began getting dressed as quickly as she could.

Sitting down, now dressed again she could not help but giggle at his question shaking her head, “No we grow hair normally, just not in areas you do grow hair, such as beards, leg hair, arm hair, and pubic hair. Hour hair grows the same as yours, but men prefer to keep hair short, and women tend to keep it long. That is all, it is just the way we are.” She explained as she looked up at him, “So why is it your women wear such heavy and complicated outfits, covering everything? My kind prefer that the clothing be form fitting to attract a suitor, but yours hide everything, but even then people in your culture do not seem to wed out of love as much as for pointless possessions or power, understandable, but why spend the rest of your life with someone you hate, and do not love? I have heard of men and women cheating on each other with servants and slaves to be happy, but why not just be with who makes you happy instead of some woman you despise?” She asked, clearly they had differences in each other’s eyes.

She looked out the window at everything, seeing the land around them and wondering how much longer it would be before they could get out of the carriage, already wanting to stretch her legs and take a moment to relax.
 
"Hm. Those are interesting questions, and one's I don't think I can truly answer, seeing as I'm a man and not a woman." He replied with a small chuckle. "Why do the women of my species wear the clothing that they do? Most likely because it's the latest fashion and they want to be seen as in step with current trends. Not all wear such clothing; about a fourth of my army is composed of women in combat roles.

As for the sexual issues, a lot of those marriages are a result of fathers seeking to increase their holdings through their daughters. The cheating is a result of those women wanting more intimacy but are unable to get it from the men their with. Which was part of the reason I want you to talk with the suitors that plan on visiting me. I not only want you to talk with them about my intimate nature, but to also do a little spying for me. Women are more likely to be talkative about their personal lives with another woman; and I have the feeling that you can find out what they're actually like without drawing attention to yourself."
 
She figured he would not be able to answer her questions but she seemed a little thrown off by his answer. "But it is not only women who cheat, men do as well, and I don't think I should be the one speaking to your suitors about you or what they do, it is also possible they are all shallow and do not actually want to get to know you or be intimate at all other than getting a shot at being queen and possibly ruler of your lands, or even to have her family take over once you are gone." She shrugged it off though and looked out the window. "Fine I will speak to them about it if they ask, but I still don't like being used like that for such a purpose, but I do not want any of your suitors being disrespectful for something I have little control over." She said, referring to her being forced to serve him.

Sighing she lowered her head a little, "I am sorry, I did not mean for it to come out that way, I just do not want some hateful woman wanting to harm me, or get me out of her way, or asking you to do something about me... Despite I am your prisoner until you die... but I do want to return to my home and do not want some woman trying to kill me or try to interfere with our agreement." She explained, knowing she had good reason to worry since human women seemed to be rather vicious about men with power and wanting it for themselves, going so far as to trying to get the other woman out of the way, even pay for a kidnapping of the other. One of the things she would tell any potential suitor would be that she was not going to interfere with his kingdom, since it was not her own and she would want to go home.
 
"You make valid points." Athnir replied as his gaze left the window and turned back to her. "Which is all the more reason I want you to do this. You are going to be a spy for me, in addition to... servicing... my needs. The suitors that shall be coming wouldn't think about a prisoner actually helping her captor. If all the women looking to be my queen are as you say, then I want to know about it before we get married. By having you talk with them about your time with me, you can get them to open up about themselves." He said as the carriage gave a slight bump from the road.

"Ah. I'd know that hole even if I lost my sight. It will be about another hour before we reach the castle, considering the speed at which we're traveling. When we arrive, I think I'd like to have a nice hot bath and something to eat. I expect you to be at my side unless I give you leave. Once we're both cleaned up and fed, we can start you on your new duties. Seeing as you've never been with a man before, I shall endeavor to make your first time as painless as I can and as enjoyable as I know how." Athnir stated as the carriage began to show signs of slowing down.
 
Hearing him she could not hold her tongue much longer what he kept saying certain words to avoid saying what it was she would be doing, but she managed this time for now, "You know I have other skills and talents as well and I could serve you in more ways than just the one you keep thinking and talking about, but if those do not interest you then I will practice on my own time to keep from getting rusty." She said, sounding a little emotional about what she had said, clearly very proud of her other talents and finding them much more interesting and entertaining than servicing him sexually and finding him a wife.

Looking out the window she quickly calmed herself to remain as relaxed as possible, but she could not help that the entire way to his home he talked little of anything else and was often bringing it up, and she did not see why, he had already made it clear what he wanted her for and she had come to terms with it, the problem was she had to think of others in her kingdom she might be able to wed once free, and someone that might not mind that she be already broken in from this experience, she knew that would be difficult to do, but she had plenty of time to think about it and she knew just about everyone in her kingdom.

As he spoke of making her first time as painless as possible it could be seen in her eyes that it frightened her and the talk of it alone worried her, but she took a deep breath to steady her emotions before speaking, "Thank you, I would appreciate that greatly." She muttered loud enough to hear, but her mood had changed a little as they grew closer to his home and further away from hers. She wrapped her arms around herself, not cold, but protectively, knowing it would not help, but it made her feel better.
 
Athnir blinked when she spoke up and mentioned about being able to service him in more than his carnal desires. His gaze fixed tightly on her now, but held a look that said he was actually really seeing her for the first time. See her as a person, and not as something nice to have around, or as the leader of his enemy. Just her.

"What other skills do you possess? Music? Art? Going on hunts or practicing fencing? Many of the suitors that shall be seeking my hand, and thus my throne, have minor skills to showcase. Have you anything different or exotic that I have never seen before?" He asked, the tone in his voice stating his curiosity about what she could show and not realizing that his words could be taken in the wrong manner.

"After we get settled back in, I want to go horse back riding. I haven't be able to do so since this senseless war started, and I wish to visit the old trails once more." He added as his eyes looked back out the window and away from her.
 
Seeing his curiosity she was a little startled, but glad he was not keeping his interest in her to just sexual, that he could see her as a living being instead of some trophy to him. “I can dance, sing, play a few different instruments, I can dance with ribbons, and I can dance in a couples dance, as well as a few eastern dances from gypsies that visited me for a few years, they taught me their dancing. And I also often brought children to my home to tell stories of mystical creatures, such as unicorns, nymphs, fairies and many other stories as well, but every woman in my home were taught to tell stories and sing, it often comforts children after nightmares, I have watched over others children before and find that they enjoy the singing.” She said.

Noticing him looking away she shrugged her shoulders, “I don’t really see the reason for fighting over a mate, honestly I would prefer to meet them and see which one I connect with and which one makes my heart skip a beat when just talking with him, there is a feeling you get when you have a crush, but then there is a different feeling when you are in love, I have never felt anything but a crush on a male, so I would not know what the other feels like, but I am sure once I get to know him.” She said, blushing slightly as she spoke, “I am sorry I am probably boring you with my talk of such things.” She said, trying to forget what she had said, by looking at the floor of the carriage as well as at her shoes, trying to avoid looking at him.

“I know how to ride horses, if it would please you, I could accompany you?” She offered kindly, keeping her eyes and head down, not wanting to be cramped into a castle for the years she would be forced to stay, she would most likely spend her time in a garden if they had one, or outside and away from her new home, her new prison as she thought about it, that was if he would allow her to walk around and not just keep her locked away in his room.
 
"Yes, it would please me to have you by my side on horse back." Athnir replied as his gaze stayed fixed on the country side. "And you're not boring me with your thoughts. I find them quiet refreshing actually. Most people are afraid to speak their minds to me, fearful of any repercussions that might arise. I'll allow you to speak up this way when we're alone. When we're among others, you will have to hold your tongue; images must be maintained, and if people see a slave talking back and the master doing nothing about it, open rebellion could arise.

And before you think that such an act would be to your advantage, remember that others will not be as nice as I am. Some have lost much in this war, and the thought of taking out their frustrations on one they see as responsible for their losses would be at the forefront of their thoughts. Not all are as kind as I can be." He stopped talking when the carriage began to slow down.

"Looks like we've reached home." He said as the carriage came to a full stop at a large wooden gate. "It should only take a few more moments before we reach the castle. We can take a tour to get your familiar with the area and stretch our legs a bit."
