The Princesses Heart (Closed)

[MzSeductress]

Beth mingled with the royals and helped herself to drink and light snacks during the bruch and then after they were escorted out to the yard for a performance from the local theatre. She sat with her knights surrounding her but making sure she had charles closest to Olivette and she watched as the show began.

She couldnt help but tease Rolf slightly through their bond, she liked the connection between them and she was glad they were both able to remain professional.

She also was curious as to what her godfather wanted to discuss with her tonight at dinner and knew it was something involving her new mate.

 

[lavatrain]

Rolf's perfunctory duties as knight guard retinue would have been nearly unbearable under any other circumstances. The presence, the nearness of his Beth kept his interest as he bowed and nodded when proper to the various noble personages. At one point the Lord Chamberlain passed near, nodded and acknowledged him with "sir Rolf" to which Rolf replied "Your Lordship." Lord Chamberlain was masterful in maintaining an impassive countenance, betraying no hint of their prior experience with each other, or indeed, what brought his Lordship here on this occasion.

Rolf amusedly noted how Charles puffed up and stiffened in his finery when posted near Princess Olivette. The discomfort of the knightly livery upon them was made more bearable with their attendance on the princesses.

Rolf was looking forward to my opportunity for physical activity by the time the courtyard theatrics were underway. He glanced up at the sun's position, eager for the passage of time.

 

[MzSeductress]

Beth watched the show contentedly and sooon it was over and she was able to stretch and dust her dress off as she stood and Rolf helped her up. She smirked glancing over at the slight flirting of Charles and Olivette and she let her kinght roam the ground.

"You are excused until dinner tonight" she told her guards " I will be taking a stroll in the gardens here before heading upstairs i would like to enjoy the views" she said and glanced briefly at Rolf hoping he got the message that she wanted him to follow her.

She grabbed a gobelt of cider and slowly walked the land admiring it , she was curious to test her abilities as well and ran her hand along her necklace. She was admiring some beautiful daisies when she heard Rolf mention through the bond he would join herbut what she was unaware of was that her godfather was having a talk with him.

 

[lavatrain]

Rolf groaned with relief at the release from duty for the afternoon, and was enquiring of Archibald as to some pointers in archery when he noticed Archibald stiffen and straighten himself abruptly.

Rolf turned in response and looked in the direction of Archibald's gaze, and immediately inclined his head respectfully and spoke "My Lord."

 

[MzSeductress]

Lord Archibald was aware of the connection the knight had with his god daughter, perhaps had a hint of it before they travelled to the cousin kingdon east of them, he smelled the wolf all over her and the fact but annoyed him for having sent him knowing his goddaughter rarely heard the word no , but knowing the two possibly- no did make love, he sensed the bond , it would protect her from other wolf , spare her any attack but for what he was a vampire, it made her blood more desirable for what she was if the wolf had bitten her which he was unsure of, that protection necklace would be dangerous and she would need a protection necklace not a suppression one to hide her powers so she continued to appear as a normal princess but could use her abilities if called upon, he would explain a bit to her at dinner in private but for now he needed to let the wolf know of the dangers because he was the only one he truly trusted to protect her.

" Sir Rolf" the Lord spoke " Step aside with me there are matters id like to discuss with you in private"he said knowing the lad was bright enough to know it concerned his goddaughter.

He walked into the courtyard and was silent " I know what you and Elizabeth have been up to... it wasnt long ago her mother and I were at that age, both carefree, loving, curious... my sister was just like her and whereas the female of our kind keep the light us male keep the dark... which is why my nephew resides in my castle now until hes controlled, you know what i speak of.. " he said and eyed the wolf seriously

" This stays with you only , do not share , she is coming of an age where the charm will not work anymore and you need to protect her Rolf, if you love her , youll protect her with. everything, youve been..close..keep watch, Beth is curious and adventurous and trouble seems to find her but I trust youll keep her safe as you have been from guarding the castle ground and as a knight, does she know of your true nature?" He asked curious how he kept control especially as an alpha.

 

[lavatrain]

The knight with A Secret found himself nodding in acquiescence to the Lord Chancellor's command to turn off from the dispersing brunch. Rolf followed deferentially, hands clasped behind his back as the aged Lord sought seclusion for their interchange. It was evident that weighty matters occupied his noble mind. Rolf listened attenively as the Lord broached the subject.

Rolf was struck dumb by the Chamberlain's circuitous approach to the subject. Were it not for his profound respect for his Lordship forged by their prior relationship involving scouting and protecting the kingdom's frontiers, he would hold the elder personage's reason in doubt. The deadly seriousness in the Chamberlain's steely gaze held Rolf's impassive attention.

So the Chamberlain surmised, nay, acknowledged the physical and emotional bond 'twixt Rolf and Elisabeth. The Lord's divulging of his own young libidinousness stifled any denial Rolf may have thought to pose. Rolf himself experienced the flashing recall of Beth engulfing him in her mouth in the wooded stream, and with a start suspected that this powerful noble nodded his head as if he saw Rolf's recollection of intimacy as if it were in his own mind resident.

Rolf followed the Chamberlain's words closely, nodding, and gave careful thought before replying.

"My Lord, you speak at times in riddles and yet i think we understand each other well. Verily, the Princess has come to learn of my full nature, and beyond all expectation, she embraces every facet of my being." Rolf fought back his memories of how he had been facetting her the night prior.

"I assure you Lord that I live to serve and protect the Princess with every fiber of my being. Truly it is so, despite my inclination to be served and to dominate. On the other hand, your goddaughter possesses a magnificent hunger to serve in kind, desiring to submit herself in ways that a Lady does not boast of in polite company."

Rolf paused, swallowed, reminded himself of the foolhardiness of tempting the Chamberlain's ire.

"Sire, I serve the King and the Princess, whatever my true nature. I will lay down my wretched life for her sake if necessary."

 

[MzSeductress]

The Chancellor nodded with acknowledgement and scoffed having a sense of what the wolf felt about his niece and withing that he felt thencare as well.

" Thou dost not need to give detail of your extracurricular events as long as she is safe and happy, she has had something for you since you were tots as well" the man chuckled and saw his niece looking around most likely for the knight.

" Youll find everything out soon enough, Elizabeth has no idea what power she possesses and i hate to say this but you seem to be anchoring her from releasing it, we sensed something different, we will all speak with you both upon your return" he said and with that walked off.

...............................
Elizabeth

Elizabeth had caught a flash of what Rolf was thinking through their bond and chuckled the man was just as insatiable as she was, she peeked her head around the corner and saw her godfather/uncle speaking with Rolf and wondered what about.

She waited until he left staring as he was fully gone and looked curious and concerned. " Is everything well?" She asked him and held his hand looking up at him curious about what they were discussing.

 

[lavatrain]

"My Lord, I thank you, and bid you a pleasant evening." Rolf bowed respectfully at the elder statesman as he departed, withdrawing inside the castle. He better grasped the complicated nature of Beth's godfather, and would be eager to learn more going forward.

***

Feeling Beth's hand in his as he stared after the Lord Chamberlain, he turned to her and smiled wanly at her presence and question.

"Ah, my sweet, it seems your godfather souses out our deep and physical connection, and was desirous of emphasizing to me the importance of your safety as well as imparting upon me the importance of avoiding an inopportune pregnancy. I attempted to intimate that we engage in activities which would make conception miraculous, but he is too sage to fall for dissemblance."

Rolf through caution momentarily to the wind, flashed amber at her and her decolletage and raised her hand to kiss it in courtly fashion, though thinking uncourtly thoughts.

"I am at your service, milady."

 

[MzSeductress]

Elizabeth knew her uncle had to be here for some reason, he knew she and rolf had acquainted themselves with each other , he had always seemed to have a sixth sense about those things and was a hard man to read but an easy man to trust.

He always knew more than he told her and she knew she would get in full detail the answered she seeked about her true nature when she returned. She chuckled and slapped Rolfs chest playful " Careful not to get a royal flogging for such naughty suggestions about the princess Sir Rolf " she teased and flashed him and image of them fucking hard in her bed from her memory through their bond and smirked feeling the bit of lust, she would have rolf tonight but no until she teased him enough to make him want to ravish her royal box.

She heard some music playing and smiled " Do you want to return? Or care to join me near the lake to watch the clouds like we used to when we were smaller?" She suggested

 

[lavatrain]

Rolf grinned selfishly at her amused manner. This spritely Princess had a deeply lifting effect on his mood.

Her image of them rutting in bed brought the burning amber back into his eyes as they smoldered at her in hunger ribald.

He broke her gaze to turn his head in every direction, saw that they were not in view of prying eyes for the moment, and turning back to her, introduced a firm swat to her delightfully garbed rump.

"Let's see about the lake and the clouds, thou sultry wanton wench." He held his arm out in courtly fashion, ready to escort her thence.

 

[MzSeductress]

Beth gasped and threw her mate a heated look then smiled " and held his harm as they made their way down to the the lake and she picked up some fruit they could enjoy that the server's had prepared. She smirked knowing what her teasing did to him"

" I cannot help thyself around thee mate" she said and snuck him a soft kiss as they grew near to the lake. She sensed a piece of ground that was stable and comfortable for them and wouldn't dirty her dress then sat down with him.

She was curious about her powers amazed by her abilities but also angered, shocked and hurt that her parents hadnt told her of what she was, she couldve protected herself all of these years, she couldve stopped the pirates that planned to kill and violate her. She knew Rolf had handled them , he kept them safe and she leaned in kissing him softly happy she had him. " Im happy i snuck out the castle that night" she chuckled then lay back against the soft grass getting comfortable.

She lay on her side facing him and smiled wondering if she could share some of her memories of them through their bond.

She smiled remembering the time they were around 6 years of age and she had gotten the idea to try making her own castle to raise some baby chicks she had found and " run away" by hiding behind a large bush and making a bed out of cloth for the tables taken from the kitchen and a bed for the chicks out of a basket. He had found her and promised not to tell but was caught by his mother sneaking her bread and water from the kitchen.

 

[lavatrain]

Rolf couldn't help but puff up, glad to have the Princess on his arm, even if they were putting on a show of courtly manners for the benefit of gazing eyes. Rolf was painfully tempted to drop his arm and drape it around Beth's waist and lower to her delightful arse. This, however, would not do to the casual observer. He chatted with her about the loveliness of the lightly rolling hills as they wandered out of sight of the palace and approached the lake.

Her soft kiss surprised him, and he emitted a low growl in reply. He was a bit off balance at her reckless display, but as they put more distance twixt themselves and the palace, he allowed that they were safe from observation.

Her next kiss he rather lingered in as they sat lakeside, daffodils sprouting about them, dragonflies buzzing busily by them.

"Happy you snuck out the castle that night? Har! Are you ever in the castle, minx?" Of course, be knew the truth, but quite relished the opportunity to barb the Princess.

"Aye, the chicks. I remember it well, how ye doted on them and found it so difficult not to ever have one cradled in your hands. You were a fine mother hen for one so young. And your curls draping past your shoulders already at that age."

And do ye remember how you shrieked the first time I bade you close your eyes before I placed a newt upon your palm?

Rolf fell back laughing, holding his hands upon his belly as he squinted up at the clouds.

 

[MzSeductress]

Beth couldn't help but smirk at his teasing and said " Aye, I am in then castle on occasion love, i have always been a one for adventure and curiousity, id like to see and experince the world from different perspectives, that makes me feel closer to the outside world" she said admirong the beautiful sky

She smiled softly as he complimented her on taking care of the chicks and how well she took care of them that is until she was caught and they were cleaned and taken back to the pond. " Well I had help from an accomplice " she laughed and touched her hair as he mentioned the curls she used to wear " Aye , my hair was quite long then for a child as it is now, the castlr grooner hair cut it quite a few time to the length i need"

She gasped and fake pouted before falling back laughing ewhen he mentioned the newt " Aye thy will never forget the newt incident thou were a mischevious trickster then Rolf" she chuckled and lay back admiring the clouds.

" The sky is so beautiful, thy has always admired it, the unique shapes, changes of color, what do your think that cloud appears like" she said point uo to a shaped cloud that reminded her of a flower.

 

[lavatrain]

Rolf glanced at her as she ran her fingers lightly through her tresses. He reached over and tugged a strand and caught her scent on it as he brought it near his nose.

He felt a twinge of pleasure at the intimacy of her scent as she mused at the shapes of the clouds above them.

His lips pulled up on one side in a mischievous grin as he flipped her strand of her so that it fell across her finely featured face.

He ignored her indignant reaction, and in turn studied the clouds.

A flower, Beth? I rather think that cloud looks like rain...as does that one, and that one and that one...."

His grin was impossible to supress at his own tawdry humor. "Forgive me for my foolishness, woman. My good mother fell for it often; she threatened me with oft with discipline at me mirthsome ravinngs."

He regarded the skies again. "A fllower, you say? I rather fancy it a gargoyle, with a countenance of coyness, regarding that other nearby cloud as a mark for its pranksterism."

He rolled onto his side, rested his head on his hand over his elbow, studying her loveliness. "So what is it with your fair cousin and my fellow knight? Are ye matchmaking, or merely entertaining thyself?"

 

[MzSeductress]

Beth chuckled at his response and smirked turning to her side as well admiring his features and smiled softly as she heard him ask about Olivette and Charles.

" My dear friend and my loyal knight have been fond of each other for quite a few years, i hadnt noticed at first, too caught up with the politics of the royals but they have a connection, how serious thou dost not know but i am a woman who loves love so i suppose i did play at a bit of matchmaking." She chuckled

She stared into his eyes admiring him " I believe i am quite good at it , the Princess Katrine of the Yaris kingdom ive heard she matched with archduke Cain at the outjng we all attended a few days ago, and i did introduce the two" she grinned quite proudly.

 

[lavatrain]

Rolf nodded at his mate's relating of her prowess in matching others.

"Aye, ye are a dangerous woman, are ye not? I am fortunate to have fallen in your regard,. and not matched to another by your inclinations. Who knows if another woman could so ably receive my depraved yearnings."

He plucked up a blossom from nearby, and grinned as he dragged the delicate flower by its stem along her jawline.

It brought his attention to the mysteriously enchanted necklace gracing her neckline. He draggeed the blossom along it, and leaned into her, grazing her lips with his,. then pulling back to smile at her in simple pleasure.

Then Rolf proppped up to raise himself so he could survey their surroundings, unable to completely let go of his instinct to ensure their security. Seeeing that all was serene,, from the waters of the lake to the distant treelines, he twisted aand reclined at right angles to Beth, laying his head on her belly, again gazing skyward.

"This is just too perfect, is it not?"

 

[MzSeductress]

Beth grinned hearing him say how fortunate he was to be with her and she sighed softly as he traved the flowers on her skin. She returned the soft kiss and smiled brightly back at him. " Thou art tempted to remove the small trinket Rolf, cocoon ourselves in the force of silence and visibility to enjoy each other alone for the day, but thou are sure my ability woukd be sensed and our secret wwould be out about me knowing i could do things" she sighed admiring him.

She admired his features and how he protected her " Thou thinkst I am the lucky one love" she said softly " Thou has't never felt this way about anyone" she said and reach downnto hold his hand as he repositioned and lay his head on her stomach.

" It is perfect, ive never seen a more perfect day " she smiled and began to run his fingers through his hair gently.

 

[lavatrain]

He scoffed dismissively at her supposition of libidinous intent.

"Thou wench. Dost think I've nothing but the next opportunity to debauch you on my mind? Verily I would take you over my knee and pepper your pampered arse with my palm were it not to bestir your primal hunger."

Rolf rolled onto his side, taking her face under his studied gaze as he continued.

"Think thou that I am but another lupine male concerned only with filling my belly and expending my frothy issue at every moment? Oh, the utter humiliation of being thought of as an eating, rutting beast! I have intellectual needs! I have interests! I have dreams! I read Chaucer, and Aristotle, and Rowling!"

He glared at Beth fixedly, exhaled in exasperation, and then turned back to again look up at the sky, ignoring how well in his prior position her face had been so perfectly framed by the enticing gap between her finely garmented bosoms.

It was quiet as he stared skyward, brows knit.

"That cloud over there....does it not quite resemble a clitoris?"

 

[MzSeductress]

Beth raised her eyebrow and scoffed then chuckled " Thou dot not think that mate i know ye are more than the manly knight and ravenous bedmate i know just as i am more than the damsel princess expected to be given to men i want nothing of for the good of the kingdom. Thou just wanted time alone to enjoy your company, coupling far is from my mind , im enjoying the peace away from all the royal events " she said softly somewhat shocked rolf assumed that was all she wanted.

She was quiet for a moment as she thought of how women were either deemed as helpless and defenseless and supposed to follow a certain set of rules, behave a certain way and beth was not like thatm she was strongminded, adventurous and curious, daring , intelligent.

" Tell me your interests Rolf and i shall share some of mine" she said ignoring his comment of the cloud resembling a part of female genitalia wanting to know more of Rolf thannwhat she knew of as a child.

 

[lavatrain]

"Ah, my Beth. We have much to learn of each other, do we not? Verily, we each are no longer the children of our youth. I note the sadness in your face at my jesting, you'll learn that my keenness for arch humor is known to miss the mark by and by. That cloud in no way resembles what I jested of."

"Until my recent elevation to this station, the work and worries of the commoner absorbed my attention. Loyalty to the realm sharpened by intimations from an eccentric great oncle spurred me into the clandestine service of monitoring and defending the frontiers for the King. My leather and tack shop and my nightly patrols left little time for other pursuits. My dear sisters have been a blessing, fostering what could be salvaged of a familial group with the loss of mother. All in all, until entering the His Majesty's -- and your-- service, my interests were not something to be indulged in."

Rolf leaned up to prop himself on his elbows and situated himself to look upon his mate as she reclined.

"I must say that your intervention has broadened my perspective, Princess. Outside of my official duties and maintaining my training, I now have time for pursuits. I think it only natural to fill out my time for the present with completing my martial training in the various arms, but I should like to expand upon my rudimentary education."

"But I would likewise know more of ye, Princess, beyond the tender years' experience so violently torn from me by those dark times."

 

[MzSeductress]

Beth placed a hand softly on Rolf's and gave small smile seeing she had misunderstood her lovers humor a bit not used to it but willing to get familar with it. She listened to him tell her about his work at the leather and tack shop and his nightly pursuits keeping him busy, ho his sisters had been blessings to him and she was happy they werem when he had first told of his mothers deathm It saddened her to her to hear that such a thing could happen to her, to him and his sister, and if beth could find the were who stole his mother away she would.

She couldnt help the grin that spread when he mentioned her recruiting him had opened up his vision to do more, expand his education, theat made her happy and proud.

"Ye are strong Rolf, as are your sisters, i could sense it when i ran into you that night and it has only increased by the day education is important, that is one thing i am happy my parents forced me to persue.

"My life has been pampered, trained, i have alawys had an expectation of me being a princess, i couldnt wear certain things, do certain things, kept on strict diet to keep my size proper and my skin beautiful for possible suitors, i despised the events, but did have fun meeting royals from other kingdoms. I have always been strongminded, opinionated, most princes dont like that , they want a woman with no input in things and i have always respected my father for listening to my mothers needs as well as well respecting her imput on some things when it comes to the matter of the kingdom and raising my brother and I."

Beth frowned sadly at the thought of her brother, she hadnt seen him often, but when she did she could tell he had been struggling with something , like he wanted to tell her something, and it mamde her feel like he was lying to her when she had never done so to him and now she knew it most likely had to be something relating to their abilites.

" I wish to learn more, explore the world, see the beauty, but i am sworn to our kingdom for protection, i cannot be without someone watching, making sure im not attacked , or upset or my needs are taken care of, it is overwhelming at times, gave me little time for friends, or real love, not the matchmaking my father has been attempting, he knows i dont want to but i think the king wishes to see of one will stick" she chuckled sofly .

 

[lavatrain]

"Ah, my dear dear sisters. Justine and Agatha have doted overly much on me after our mother's tragic end. Agatha in particular fancies herself the surrogate mother, and bristles anytime I assert my self-determination. After that pack of weres did what they did to us, I had no interest in being subject to another's malevolence again. Yet I found it easy to place myself into the clandestine frontier service of the crown, and my sisters found themselves all to ready to rove with me in my nightly forays. Admitedly, it provided opportunity to track the pack which took mother, yet we were unable to follow into neighboring realms; it seemed that they ranged from far, far over the mountain range."

"Your recruitment indeed has emancipated me. I do long to expand my knowledge of the local regional languages and avail myself of written history of the region. Mother repeated stories of our family having descended from prominence centuries ago, but it sounds too fantastic to believe."

"Admittedly, I have a vested interest in your father relenting in his nuptial pursuits for you. You are my mate, woman, though some matter of consumation is yet unfulfilled. Should you ever desire to fully embrace what my existence is like, we could consider that. And yet there is far more to you than your or I can be certain of, as Agatha has opined, that recommends we not make that decision hastily. But the thought of you whelping my pups....." Rolf gave a low, satisfied growl at that.

"Your goodly parents have done to raise you with appreciation for learning, for culture, for having an opinion. I do hope your brother appreciates their care as you do. I wouldn't chafe for their concern for your suitor. They have a kingdom to consider. Should worse come to worse and you were made to take another in matrimony, I would continue to serve you and your offsppring with my life.." Rolf delivered that last while gazing steadfastly at his princess.

 

[MzSeductress]

Beth listened closely as he described his relationship with his sister's and how they continued on after the horrible death of their mother and how they were unable to get revenge because the pack was so far away and it saddened her because they could not get the closure they truly needed.

She held his hand and smiled as he mentioned her being his mate and how If she desire to fully mate with him and her being full of his pups she smirked and gazed lovingly at him " If I were to bare your pups I've no doubt they would be a beautiful batch" she grinned .

She sighed at the mentioning of her marrying another and he also mentioned he would still protect her offspring and her family " I'll have none of that Rolf " she said quickly knowing it not mattered who she married her brother was next in line for king and his children after she had no worries of the throne .

" I wish to be yours Rolf , fully yours, in every way" she said softly and snuck herself a kiss to his lips.

" Perhaps we shall return" she grinned " Lest Olivette get curious as to where we were off to" she joked noticing the sky beginning to darken.

 

[lavatrain]

Rolf reflected on the unthought-of twist of fortune which now had him lounging with the Princess of the realm in the bucolic meadow gazing skyward and discussing matters past, present and future.

He smiled broadly at his Beth's statement that he would be hers, and she his, and her desire to fully share his curse and their pups. He noted and filed away the soberness clouding her sweet countenance when discussing her brother, but granted that she knew far more then he as to how the succession of the throne would pass.

At the mention of returning to the palace he sighed, reluctantl to shrug off the pleasant intimacy of their shared meadow.

"Aye, milady, tis time I made certain that your pampered ass was made safe within the Palace keep. One never knows what dark sinister danger one might encounter when darkness falls."

He assisted his Princess to her feet, and offered his arm to her as they strode back. He actively scanned the tree lines and perimeter, noting the avian activity was diminishing and the odd bat flitting about in the nascent shadows.

 

[MzSeductress]

Beth smiled giving him a soft kiss before they got close " Thy knows thou would keep me safe Rolf and I would do the same for thee" she whispered and held his arm as he escorted her back. She couldn't help but notice at the corner of her eye Olivette and Charles deep in what it seemed like a fetching conversation and chuckled.

" Seems as if Olivette is focused on other things at the moment Rolf, and the gathering is all but over, what shall we do with our free time before our journey back home tomorrow?" She asked wondering what Rolf would want to do, she wanted to spend more time with him but the night was so dark surrounding the castle tonight and she didn't want trouble finding them there.

She saw her knights socializing and grabbed two goblets of punch handing him one and having one for herself " Perhaps we can continue our quality time here" she smiled softly.
