Chapter 22: Kloan's Royal Ball

Asteroa - Norvadian Capital

The day of King Kloan's Ball...
Morning

Krei:

I have been feeling strange ever since I stepped foot into Norvadia's capital city.

This was my second home ever since my father sent me here to train as a warrior. I remembered the countless training I endured as a squire then as a junior knight...

Commander Jagan.

And his son. Captain Oren

King Gyre and his devoted Council Members...

Then there was the very female who made me experience the first heat of love. My first foray into being a grown male with desires of his own.

Andi...

Funny how one fateful encounter could tie two beings together. How one tiny connection with the princess could change my life.

It was funny how after all these years, I feel at home on a foreign planet.

As I prepared to cleanse myself and get ready for the ball tonight. The activities outside of the small townhouse we were using as our base made me look out the window.

I saw people walking about, looking forward with grim expressions. I noticed this but the people wearing brown or grey robes and threadbare tunics are treated very poorly. The one decked in colorful clothes were oblivious of the abuse of the ones dressed in drab garbs.

This dress code was not present before. It was obvious that it only serves to single out the less fortunate.

I saw women begging in one corner of the streets and even a child who stool a fruit bread and ran away while the owner was dealing with a customer.

"The rich become even richer and The poor becomes even more wretched." My mate's voice made me turn as she viewed the window and the daily lives of the people here. "I have seen the reports of my Uncle's rule. 20% of the rich populace grow richer and fatter off the backbone of the poor and yet they are treated no lower than animals. Slaves Traders have established a Market here to catch poor families and children to sell to other planets. When my father was king, we have poor people but he made sure that the taxes for them was fair and the nobles and merchants classes were taxed according to their income and station. But now...that was abolished. The nobles were exempted from paying taxes and instead enslaved the middle class and the poor by levying heavier taxes to sustain the few privileged pigs..."

I held her as I felt her quiet simmering rage at the evidence of her negligence as a royal.

The city of Asteroa's buildings, once pristine and kept clean were now dirty and unkept. The only clean areas were the private streets belonging to the rich and the corrupt nobles who sided with Kloan.

The once clean waterducts were filthy, tree were taken away or cut down and the city guards who were supposed to maintain order and peace were beating and arresting people, abusing their authority.

"Krei." She looked at me with renewed determination. "We have to get those plans..by hook or crook. If I falter, please remind me of the people here..."

"I will. Let's have some food and go over the plan with Captain Asher and Siria..." I urged her to change her clothes and she complied.

But she never makes it easy for me because she gave me that mischievous smile and dropped her nightgown slowly till it ended up on the floor with a sigh.

Her periwinkle skin glowed as her naked soft buttocks wiggled as she swayed her hips as she opened the closet to take out a day dress.

I growled, feeling myself getting stiff as she looked at me before licking her lips and raised a hand to fasten her dress to her nubile body.

"Maybe...they can wait for a few minutes...." I walked towards her and crushed her softness to me. "I want you...."

Her answer was pushing me down the bed and straddling me as her soft pants and moans enflamed my longing for her as I entered her moist sheath.

She was still wet from our lovemaking last night as we christened our bedroom with a wild round of fucking.

And yet....my desire and appetite for her are as sharp as the day we first gave ourselves to each other.

-----------------------------------------------------

An hour later....

We held the meeting for the plan to infiltrate the royal ball. Lady Andrea was adamant to accompany us as a disguised lady in waiting to her daughter.

Which was our cover story. That Andi was a noble daughter of a border noble from the Kishin Mountains and I am a Kindred diplomat on a business trip to procure some energy stones from her father.

This should explain why we are together as partners at the ball.

"I am still not sure I should let my mother tag along. My Uncle could recognize her and this might be a problem." Andi took her mother's hand and squeezed it.

The former queen smiled and shook her head.

"I will go with my daughter. When our people needed us the most. We fled at the behest of my husband but the time of running is over." came her determined voice. "Besides...We have Al'rik and Karyn guarding us at the ball."

"As well a few hidden ones..." Captain Asher grinned.

I stared at the young alien boy who was looking more mature than the first time he boarded with me to find Andi, His fathers and mother agreed for me to train him while we are here but that also meant protecting the boy because his parents want him to come home alive.

"I will ensure my spies also keep an eye on both of you, Your Highnesses..." Siria nodded. "The usurper might recognize me if I go with you so this is all I can do for you. Just remember that when you and Krei get to the meeting place, my contact will be in touch with you."

"It is enough, old friend." Andi smiled at the older lady who was back to dressing as a man.

"Well then. Since we are ready. Let's get suited up." Andi's words made everyone stare at her before she coughed. "I mean...let's dress up for a ball."

---------------------------------------------------------

The Royal Norvadian Palace

Palace Grounds, Entrance

Andi:

The night air was neither cold nor warm, Thank God.

My pale hair was styled in a way that a pair of fat curls styled with beads covers my breasts.

The rest was tied in a half braid and fell against my back. A star circle held my hair back in place and I had silver shoes that looked like a hybrid between a boot and heels except it opens in front and has intricate jeweled clasps to hold the shoe together.

My white gown still feels too revealing along with my nipple rings. The delicate rings with the red and blue candy spheres made me blush because I imagined my mate sucking on them.

For decency's sake, the ladies were afforded a cloak and will be taken of when we arrive where the royal ball will take place.

As we were dropped at the front gates of the Royal Palace, my hold on Krei tightened as I saw....

My old home...

A place where I was happy...until my Uncle ruined everything.
