 Chapter 29: Sylin and the Princess



   Endolefinia sat on the edge of her huge canopy bed, wearing only a pink
night gown.  She was combing her hair in silence.  Of course, the princess
had numerous servants who could've performed that task instead of her, but
Endolefinia tried to do some simple things herself.  It made her feel a
little more grown-up.  Of course, she knew that it was an illusion. 
Endolefinia was a child, no matter how one looked at it.

   To an average person, her bedroom's splendor would've been simply
breathtaking, but to Endolefinia it was nothing special.  Even though her
bedroom was bigger than a commoner's house and a single one of her crystal
wall mirrors was worth more than any normal person could earn in their
whole life.  It was still in cheap in comparison to the place where
Endolefinia had spent the first years of her life- the palace of her
mother, Queen Antelithia.

   The curtains weren't closed yet, so one could still see the city of
Nargath through the pompous big windows.  Or rather, what was left of it.
Endolefinia had been made the leader of Nargath on her sixth birthday.  It
had been a present from her mother, of course.  The queen had thought that
it was a good idea to train her daughters in politics by making them
leaders of cities that weren't too important.  So it wasn't too bad if they
messed up.  Like Endolefinia did when half of Nargath had been burned down
by a demon.  There wasn't even anyone left to scold her since Queen
Antelithia had died two years ago.  The public still believed that the
queen of the Latia kingdom had died of sickness, but Endolefinia knew the
truth.  That her mother had been assassinated by the mysterious killer who
was known as the Crimson Wraith.  She tried to think of it as little as
possible.  It made her cry and it wasn't a sightly thing for a princess to
cry.

   So she distracted herself with other thoughts.  There was one particular
thing she had had on her mind for a while now.  "Why do people fall in
love?" She asked without looking up, still combing her beautiful dark blond
hair.  There was only one other person in the room, so it was clear who was
addressed.  It was Sylin, the princess' personal aide and the woman who was
closest to her in Nargath.  She was a very intelligent woman in the middle
of her twenties, always wearing glasses and tying her hair up to a cyan
ponytail.  Sylin sat on an armchair not too far away from Endolefinia's bed
when she was asked this unexpectedly philosophical question.

   "Ehm...  why you ask...  People fall in love because of many reasons, I
guess." The princess stopped combing her hair and gave her an annoyed look.
That obviously wasn't the answer she wanted to hear.  "No, I mean, in
general.  People eat because they're hungry and sleep because they're
tired. But why do they love each other?" Sylin scratched her head.  That
certainly wasn't an easy question.  But she was already used to the
princess asking her difficult stuff like this.  She really was an unusually
curious child.  "Well, no one wants to be alone.  It is more enjoyable to
spend your time with someone you love than without them." Endolefinia
looked at her sullenly.  "What makes it more enjoyable?  What do lovers do
that makes it enjoyable?" Sylin and the princess looked each other in the
eyes for a few moments.  Then Endolefinia added: "How are babies made?"

   That were two questions, but they certainly weren't unrelated.  Sylin
knew exactly what the princess wanted to hear.  Well, if she had reached
that age, there was no reason not to tell her.  But Sylin wasn't too sure
how much Endolefinia already knew.  So she used a feint, unsure whether it
would work.  "Hm...  What do you think that lovers do when they're
together?" Endolefinia took the bait.  She looked at the ceiling of her
bedroom and thought for a while.  "Stuff like...  kissing, probably. 
Sleeping in the same bed naked.  Probably..." Endolefinia blushed, which
was quite a rare sight.  "They probably do stuff with their penis."
Spot-on.

   Sylin smiled.  "That's right.  People who are in love like to kiss each
other and to touch each other's bodies...  like their breasts, their butts
and their penises." The princess was listening eagerly, sitting on the edge
of her bed.  She couldn't have been any more alert in a meeting of the city
council.  She nodded.  "I guess...  I can see how that could be enjoyable."
Sylin had to try really hard not to laugh at this point.  It was deemed
unhealthy for a child of Endolefinia's age to sleep alone, so there always
was a servant who slept in the princess' bed with her.  Usually quite
voluptuous girls.  Sylin had heard from more than one of them that the
princess had groped their breasts in the middle of the night.  She
certainly was precocious.

   Sylin cleared her throat.  "As for your second question: There is one
thing that's more enjoyable for a couple than anything else.  That's sex."
Sylin closely watched the princess' reaction, but the girl just wanted her
to continue the narration.  "When a woman does many enjoyable things with
her lover, her penis becomes big and hard.  Then she sticks her penis into
her lover's butt." Endolefinia's facial expression made it very apparent
that she had never head about this.  She was quite stunned by this
revelation.  "In the butt...  you mean..." Sylin nodded, sparing the
princess the embarrassment to say what she suspected.  "Yes, she sticks it
in the hole where the poop comes out.  That feels very good for both of
them.  And when her lover is in the right condition, a tiny egg appears
inside of her.  When the woman feels really good, semen comes out of her
penis and fertilizes the egg."

   The princess gulped.  By now she had grabbed one of her pillows and
hugged it tightly while listening to this awesome disclosure.  "Se- semen?"
Sylin nodded.  "Yes, semen.  It's a white sticky liquid that comes from
your testicles.  See, an egg alone will never grow into a baby.  It needs
to be drenched in another woman's semen, just like a seed needs to be
watered to grow." Endolefinia nodded.  "What happens then?" Sylin chuckled.
"Well, the sex is over then.  If the egg was really fertilized, the woman
gets pregnant.  The egg will grow inside of her until it is about as big as
your fist.  This takes three months.  Then the woman will lay the egg
through her butt.  The baby is already inside the egg, but it's still way
too small to hatch at this point.  It continues to grow for five weeks,
slowly at first, but at the end very rapidly.  When it has reached the size
of...  well, the size of a newborn baby, the little girl hatches from the
egg."

   Endolefinia just stared at Sylin for a while.  All of that sounded
pretty incredible to her.  But she knew that Sylin had told her nothing but
the truth.  So this was what people in love did.  The princess looked to
the floor and blushed.  "That's quite...  I can't believe that I will be
doing these things myself..." Sylin smiled.  The princess was so cute, she
would've liked to cuddle her.  Sadly, that would've been highly
inappropriate.  "Don't worry, princess.  You'll start getting interested in
these things once you're a little older." Endolefinia glared at her.  "It's
not like I'm not interested!  Just...  sticking it into a girl's butt..."

   Sylin really enjoyed herself.  It was the first conversation of this
racy kind she had ever had with the princess.  It was proof that she was
really close to her.  Being good friends with a princess whose grandmother
was even a goddess certainly was something that could make her whole life a
lot easier.  "You know, princess.  If you ever want to try these things
out...  even if it is just looking at or touching a naked girl's body.  We
can get a few concubines for you and you can have all the fun you want with
them..." Endolefinia remembered concubines at her mother's palace.  It had
been very pretty girls who usually wore scanty clothing.  They had always
been very nice to Endolefinia, but she never had thought about these girls'
purpose.  "What are these concubines?" she demanded to know.  Sylin
explained.  "They are girls who live in your castle, but they're not
married to you.  You can do all the things we just talked about with them,
whenever you want..." Endolefinia blushed again.  Then she shouted.  "With
some random people I don't even love?  What kind of person do you think
your princess is, Sylin?"

   Sylin was surprised by that sudden outburst of anger.  Well, the girl
obviously was still too young to understand the benefit of having some
girls you could just fuck without consequences.  Or could it be that the
princess actually already was in love with someone?  Sylin became excited.
Who could Endolefinia's first love be?  There was a certain girl, the
daughter of a servant with really beautiful long black hair and blue eyes.
She had seen Endolefinia doting on her in the past, so could it be her? 
Sylin could definitely get this girl into the princess' bed whenever she
asked for it.

   But the princess asked something else, which also answered all of
Sylin's questions.  "This woman Felwynn...  Is she really my cousin?" So
that's how it was.  Sylin nodded eagerly with a broad smile on her face. 
"She is, yes.  Felwynn is the daughter of your aunt Eluthya." Endolefinia
lay down on her stomach, facing away from Sylin so that she didn't have to
look her in the eyes.  "What else can you tell me about her?" Sylin wasn't
too sure what to say.  There certainly were a lot of stories about Fel, but
most of them weren't made for the ears of a ten-year-old.  "Not too much is
known about her, actually.  It is unknown where she was born or who her
other mother is.  She only appeared two years ago, literally out of
nowhere. Felwynn has a very...  strong personality, so she quickly made
many enemies wherever she went.  It is said though that she has unique
talent as a sword fighter.  She doesn't have a permanent home and wanders
around the world, unexpectedly turning up in all kinds of places."
Endolefinia dreamily stared into the distance.  "Hmm?  I wonder why she
came to Nargath..." Well, Sylin exactly knew why, but she didn't dare to
say.  It was called the town of whores, after all...

   Endolefinia was a little hesitant to ask the next question.  "So...  is
she married?" Sylin tried her best to make her fun in hearing about the
princess' first romantic feelings not too obvious.  If only the princess
would've chosen someone a little less savage...  "No, as far as we know,
Felwynn is unmarried." Sylin only hoped that Endolefinia wouldn't ask her
about Fel's liaisons, because there were too many to count.  She was lucky.
The princess' next question went in a different direction.  "How old is
she? Her breasts were really gigantic..." Sylin thought for a few moments.
She certainly had heard a number of rumors, but...  "Since nothing is known
about most of her life, I can't say for sure.  Judging from her
appearance...  well, you were the one who met her personally.  What do you
think, princess?" Endolefinia didn't like Sylin's tone or the fact that she
hadn't been able to answer her question.  "I only talked to her for about a
minute!  And she looks like...  I don't know, eighteen maybe?  But I
somehow feel that's not right..."

   Endolefinia yawned.  It was already pretty late and she was a child,
after all.  But she didn't want to go to sleep yet.  She had never
discussed this topic with Sylin, so she felt like she should make the most
out of it.  "I heard a rumor that...  Felwynn is insane.  Is that true?"
Sylin looked at her princess with pity.  She really would've preferred for
the princess to fall in love with the servant's cute daughter.  Well, who
knew how long a ten-year-old's infatuation would last.  "There... 
certainly are rumors like that.  Felwynn probably didn't grow up in a
civilized land, so her manners and morals are quite different from what
people expect.  She just...  takes what she wants, whatever it is.  And if
someone tries to stop her, she doesn't hesitate to use violence against
them.  She might not be insane, but...  many people say that her behavior
is more like that of a wild animal than that of a human being."

   Endolefinia nodded drowsily.  "I like people who just take what they
want.  She's like a beautiful tigress...  whoever gets too close to her
gets slashed." Luckily, the princess was already too tired to realize how
embarrassing the thing she had just said was.  She put her head on the
pillow and stared at the ceiling of her canopy bed.  "She's not an animal
though.  On the contrary, I have never seen anyone as graceful and as proud
as her.  When she's walking, she looks like...  an empress." Sylin sighed,
but so softly that the princess couldn't hear it.  The cute black-haired
girl certainly didn't stand a chance to compete with Fel in these aspects.

   The princess had to close her eyes since she was already so tired, but
she still continued talking.  "Is there any way in which I can get close to
her, Sylin?" As much sympathy as Sylin might've felt for her, there were
several reasons against such a thing.  "That might be difficult.  First,
you know that she's traveling through the land in an unpredictable pattern.
Only Felwynn herself knows where she will turn up next.  She's not involved
in any politics, so it'll be hard to come up with a reason for inviting her
to your court.  Also, it might upset other rulers if we invite her.  Like I
said, she has many enemies."

   Endolefinia snuggled her face against the soft pillow.  "So very
difficult...  Hey, Sylin.  Do you have someone you love too?" Sylin was
surprised.  The princess didn't often ask about her private matters.  Well,
there was nothing that she had to hide from the princess.  "I have, yes. 
It's a very pretty girl called Dao.  You've probably seen her a couple of
times, she works in the castle's laundry.  We will marry next spring if
everything works out..." Endolefinia enjoyed the story.  Her last question
would've been if Sylin had already stuck her penis into Dao's butt, but she
fell asleep before she could ask it.

   Sylin waited a bit, then she stood up, walked over to the bed and
covered the princess with a blanket.  She was like an angel when she was
lying like this.  Surely she would grow up to be an exceptionally beautiful
woman.  It was a shame that she had to concern herself with politics.  A
being as perfect as her should just be able to enjoy her life without any
worries.  Being princess came with a price, huh?

   Sylin blew out the candles as she left the room.  Right behind the door
sat a woman on a sofa, already half asleep.  She only wore a quite
transparent negligee.  Her massive tits were clearly visible.  The princess
would be able to do a lot of groping tonight.  "You can go in now.  The
princess is already asleep, so make sure not to make too much noise." The
woman nodded, yawned and then went to keep the princess company over night.

   That meant the end of the day for Sylin, but not the end of the night.
She noticed that it was still nice and warm outside when she walked down
from the princess' private chambers onto the castle's courtyard.  It was
still somewhat lively out here.  Several people were walking in the
torches' warm light.  Nargath had seen a surge of immigrants in the last
weeks.  Destruction also always meant the chance to build up something new.
Right next to a tree stood the beautiful laundry girl with the black
pigtails, ready to do all the things with Sylin that the princess dreamed
about doing with Fel right now...
