June stood at the door, held by one of the palace guards. He knew his situation, and he knew there was nothing he could do to fight it. He'd been taken from the palace quietly and brought to the warrior's home, the great man's prize for the service he provided to his country would be as requested. The King's youngest son.
June had been 'prepared' as was seen fit. His soft pale skin had been scrubbed until he glowed a light pink and his waist length red hair had been dried and styled. A long strip of dark fabric blindfolded his large blue eyes, and several of the same were tied around him elegantly, displaying his body while keeping the most private of area's covered. One strip bound both his hands and his neck, the excess acting as a leash, and that end was held by the guard delivering him.
At seventeen June was old enough to be considered a man, but he still kept the figure of a teen, not quite the man his older brothers had become. His features were soft, and his frame was a bit more petite, although he was still obviously male. Freckles shaded his cheeks and shoulders, and his pale skin had never seen a day's work, or more than a few hours of sun. Why would it have? He was a prince after all.
The guard pulled him stumbling up the stairs, fixed his bindings, and knocked loudly.
