Adamas settles in the palace

The Queen began explaining: "Beyond these stairs lies the Eastern wing of the palace, in which are my private chambers. Only women are allowed in the Eastern wing: my personal maids and my elite guards. Of course, exceptions can be made for honoured guests such as you. You will be the only man at this side of the palace for the time being. Given the circumstances, I expect you to be nude for the entire duration of your stay in the Eastern wing, as my maids and I will be. Nothing to hide after all", she said with a smirk. "You are allowed to be dressed in the rest of the palace, as well as the whole capital, which you are free to explore. However, I won't have you venture outside the city just yet."

Adamas listened carefully, intrigued about his stay in the palace, but also suspicious of the queen's motives. Mekada continued: "You will be given a room close to my chambers. Anything you wish for will be provided without question. You are free to bed any woman in the palace you desire, as long as she wants it herself. If you **** any of my women, be assured I will personally castrate and enslave you", she said in an intimidating tone. Adamas gulped, slightly alarmed by the Queen's threat. But in reality, he had nothing to fear. He would never **** a woman.

"Don't leave the city and don't **** any women" said Mekada emphatically. Then, she continued in a softer, comforting tone: "these are my only conditions. Otherwise, you are free. Do you accept these terms, Adamas?". Adamas nodded. "I do, Queen Mekada." The queen rejoiced. "Excellent! Do you have any questions?" "Just one, my queen", he replied, "Why did you invite me, when you just met me today? I am neither a king, nor a noble." Mekada giggled and then responded: "I believe the next days will reveal the reason to both of us".

"Ayana!" the Queen exclaimed and a beautiful petite maid stormed out, naked. Mekada told her something and the girl rushed next to Adamas. "Ayana will be your personal maid. She will show you to your room.", explained the queen. "Oh, and she seems to like you, you can fuck her if you want" she winked.

Ayana led Adamas through several corridors until he found himself in a room, more luxurious than he would ever dream. Inside it a large bed and several other furniture all ebveloped in gold leaves. The room was overlooking to a garden, filled with all sorts of exotic plants. "Is there anything you require of me, my lord?" asked Ayana. "Just water for now. And I would like you to help me learn your language" replied the merchant. "Of course" she said. She left the room, and Adamas took a moment to rest.
