After the sudden death of the queen of a great and glorious kingdom, the only way to avoid invasion is to bring her back to life without anyone ever knowing that she died in the first place. However, after being unable to find the sorceress powerful...
The moment they walked in the dining hall Julian was overwhelmed. The room was filled with gorgeous jewels, foods and drinks, extravagant gowns and over 20 elves! In front of everything and everyone stood the king and queen, Gre'Jyon and Grea'Daen. They moved closer to greet Julian, and he could feel his legs shaking with anxiety underneath his dress.
Gre'Jyon: Grea'Valentina, always a pleasure to meet with you!
Grea'Daen: A pleasure indeed, and what a beautiful dress!
Julian: Why, thank you very much, it is my honour to have you here at my castle! Please have a seat!
The dining table was covered in delicious dishes for the king and queens to feast upon. Julian was happy because the more they ate, the less they spoke, and that was exactly what he wanted. But in order not to come across as rude, he decided to start a conversation.
J: So, how was your journey from Zarlya to the High Lands. I hope there were no attacks, there have been some thefts lately in the Faerie Forest.
G'J: Fortunately, it all was well while we were traveling, although Jenfrim did fall sick for a day.
G'D: Oh, yes, Jenfrim, how could I have forgotten! Bring in the slave!
As the queen ordered, the entourage opened a cage, from which they pulled out a girl, and elf with beautiful long black hair that was covered in gold, as was the rest of her body. She didn't seem happy, and yet neither sad nor angry. She looked oddly indifferent, despite being a slave.
G'D: We come bearing gifts, Grea'Valentina, one of which is the most skilled "dancer" in all of Zarlya.
As she said that phrase, she put a weird emphasis in the word "dancer". My sister was notorious for enjoying female as well as male company, but she had never openly talked about it to anyone. The Elven people usually used inns as covers for their brothels, so many of the dancers of Zarlya were in fact prostitutes. That was why Julian believed that Jenfrim was actually a slave for Valentina's sexual pleasure, although he found it better not to confront Grea'Daen on the matter.
J: What an honour to be gifted with your your best dancer, Grea'Daen. I am sure she will be very amusing and entertaining!
G'J: Maybe she could perform for us right now! We have some musicians with us from Zarlya, and they are excellent! Trust me when I say, you shall enjoy this, Grea'Valentina!
J: I would be more that glad to see Zarlya's best dancer in action!
And with that, Gre'Jyon ordered his musicians to start playing, and Jenfrim to start performing for them. Even though Julian realised he had made a mistake believing Jenfrim was a prostitute, he still could sense that something was off about her, but he could no longer think about that, because he was mesmerised by Jenfrim's serpentine movement!
