[Queen's Paradise: Prologue - Dragonflight Part Five]

[16:58] <!CYOA-sama> [Queen's Paradise: Prologue - Dragonflight Part Five: The Dragon Queen]
[16:58] <!CYOA-sama> She stood in the doorway of the throne room.
[16:59] <!CYOA-sama> Her feet totally bare... and entirely human.
[16:59] <!CYOA-sama> Her gentle hands fidgeting in front of her as she tilts her head to the side.
[17:00] <!CYOA-sama> Her snow white curly hair hangs down past her shoulders.
[17:01] <!CYOA-sama> Her eyes, a dazzling silver like polished coins stare across the throne room at the young king.
[17:01] <!CYOA-sama> her face, flawless and soft looking, is framed by her earfins that gleam as if made of crystal.
[17:02] <!CYOA-sama> Her full figure is hugged tightly by her white dress, The collar going up to her neck leaving not a bit of exposed cleavage.
[17:03] <!CYOA-sama> Her wide hips are clearly outlined by the cotton dress, as sun shines through it.
[17:03] <!CYOA-sama> Her figure is, in a word, flawless. The perfect image of fertility and beauty.
[17:05] <!CYOA-sama> No wings.... no claws.... the only traces of her draconic nature are her reptilian eyes and her crystalline earfins.
[17:05] <!CYOA-sama> But in truth... her presence is vast.
[17:05] <!CYOA-sama> Her true form would dwarf the palace, it's for this reason that she takes on a fully humanoid form.
[17:06] <!CYOA-sama> The prssure of being so close to her would be overwhelming if she showed even the slightest hint of aggression.
[17:06] <!CYOA-sama> So she doesn't.
[17:07] <!CYOA-sama> She bows, her large breasts sloping slightly as she leans forward giving her already supple body an even softer and more enticing appearance.
[17:08] <!CYOA-sama> "I am so deeply touched that you would go to such lengths your majesty." She says in a solemn voice.
[17:08] <!CYOA-sama> Aldeas breathes sharply.
[17:09] <!CYOA-sama> His cheeks are flueshed.
[17:09] <!CYOA-sama> Lucia can't even be jealous, she's every bit as awestruck as her husband.
[17:10] <!CYOA-sama> "No, milady. It's not something so great. I'm just trying to undo the harm my fath-"
[17:10] <!CYOA-sama> Without any hostility, without any force, and at a speed impossible to process even for her daughter's Io steps forward and in an instant appears before Aldeas.
[17:11] <!CYOA-sama> She gently places a hand on each of his cheeks.
[17:11] <!CYOA-sama> Her forehead taps gently against his, and his wounds begin to close.
[17:11] <!CYOA-sama> "Shhhhh... I can sense your pain."
[17:11] <!CYOA-sama> "The guilt you carry for your fathers actions...."
[17:12] <!CYOA-sama> "He was such a horrible man." she says with a slight frown, likely at herself for using such sharp language.
[17:12] <!CYOA-sama> "Yes...." Aldeas says breathlessly.
[17:12] <!CYOA-sama> "But I also feel love... so much love."
[17:13] <!CYOA-sama> "Your mother, your lovely wife... you are surrounded by so much love."
[17:13] <!CYOA-sama> "Being in your presence is comforting and fills me with hope."
[17:14] <!CYOA-sama> "You're such a good boy..." Io says as she gently kisses Aldeas' forhead.
[17:14] <!CYOA-sama> "You're too kind, milady."
[17:14] <!CYOA-sama> Aldeas looks up at Io and she smiles.
[17:14] <!CYOA-sama> Her divine presence is no longer affecting him.
[17:15] <!CYOA-sama> The mental stress of his wounds no longer weakening his resolve.
[17:15] <!CYOA-sama> "I.... have no reason to ask why you've come here."
[17:15] <!CYOA-sama> "Your wisdom is apparent even to a child like me, clearly you've come to the same conclusion I have."
[17:16] <!CYOA-sama> Io nods.
[17:16] <!CYOA-sama> "Our people will only continue to grow and prosper mutually as one." She says.
[17:16] <!CYOA-sama> Tiamat and Bahamut are no longer here.... quick to evade their mother they've hurried off to their quarters.
[17:17] <!CYOA-sama> "I apologize milady. I'm afraid for the first time I feel as though the quarters I've prepared for you won't do you justice."
[17:17] <!CYOA-sama> Io smiles.
[17:18] <!CYOA-sama> "If the bed is warm and you come keep me company it will be more than enough." She says as she places a hand on her cheek.
[17:18] <!CYOA-sama> Aldeas swallows hard.
[17:18] <!CYOA-sama> "Ara ara~, That came out wrong.... I simply meant that..." Io blushes slightly as she recoils a bit.
[17:19] <!CYOA-sama> "No need to clarify milady, I understand the sentiment." Aldeas is quick to calm her.
[17:20] <!CYOA-sama> "I've gotten quite good at sensing when women have a... invested interest in me, and I've come to realize not all monsters are the sexhounds my father has painted them as."
[17:20] <!CYOA-sama> Io sighs.
[17:20] <!CYOA-sama> "Thank you for your consideration Aldeas."
[17:20] <!CYOA-sama> The young king's eyebrows perk up.
[17:21] <!CYOA-sama> Io covers her mouth.
[17:21] <!CYOA-sama> "Is it a faux pas to address the king by name?" She asks blushing again.
[17:22] <!CYOA-sama> "Not at all, it simply caught me off guard." Aldeas laughs.
[17:22] <!CYOA-sama> Io giggles slightly.
[17:23] <!CYOA-sama> Lucia, unable to speak til now attempts to say hello to the dragon queen but her voice barely manages to form a squeak as she fidget in her throne.
[17:24] <!CYOA-sama> "Ara? I see, this little angel must be your bride."
[17:24] <!CYOA-sama> Lucia's face turns crimson and she curls into a ball overwhelmed by Io's presence.
[17:24] <!CYOA-sama> "Yes, she is."
[17:25] <!CYOA-sama> "Lucky girl..." Io says wistfully as she pats Lucia's head.
[17:25] <!CYOA-sama> "Luckier than you'll ever know...." Lucia whimpers into her knees.
[17:26] <!CYOA-sama> Io smiles and turns to head up the stairs as if she already knows where her quarters are.
[17:26] <!CYOA-sama> She turns.
[17:27] <!CYOA-sama> "If I may be so bold your majesty.... just because my intentions are not filled with lust doesn't mean I would be opposed to your company in more ways than one."
[17:27] <!CYOA-sama> Her cheeks are slightly pink.
[17:27] <!CYOA-sama> Having such an honest and innocent proposal causes Aldeas to blush and he covers his face.
[17:28] <!CYOA-sama> As Io leaves the throne room the royal couple sits in their thrones thoroughly overwhelmed by her in every way.
[17:29] <!CYOA-sama> "I.... think that's enough diplomacy for one day...."
[17:29] <!CYOA-sama> Aldeas stands and slowly drags himself up the opposite stairs towards his bedroom.
[17:29] <!CYOA-sama> "I agree...." Lucia says as she uncurls and follows him.
[17:29] <!CYOA-sama> Mesina still sitting quietly in the corner watches as the couple heads up the stairs and sighs.
[17:30] <!CYOA-sama> "Just fuck already...." She muses to herself as she stretches.
