Lashay won, or at least the nobles playing with him did

When Aurora held her hand above the last man and the cheers were a little below the average it was very clear who'd won. Aurora didn't have any reaction aside from a congratulatory one as she walked back to Lashay. "The loyal have announced their praise." The nobles who'd played with Lashay stood and walked to join him as the other guys left to sit beside their partners. You saw more than one being chided as they did so. "And so I deem you the victors." The noble ladies formed a line behind Lashay. "And to the victors, go the treasures of being my most loyal." Staff member streamed out, handing each lady a simple golden pin. "And of course." Aurora turned to face you and Mary.

Your game hadn't really ended and current both your legs were wrestling beneath the table and she was holding your hand in both of hers, a flagrant breach of the rules as far as you were concerned. Your limbs were quickly disentangled but in doing so you didn't account for what may have been caught in them. As Mary stood her pants didn't stand with her. Thankfully the table was just tall enough and high enough that it shouldn't be obvious to everyone that she was currently bottomless. However your eyes locking onto her very firm very bare buttocks might have given it away.

"My Personal Guard are three but there are seventeen of you." Mary didn't sound like her pants had been pulled down and she made no move to pull them up. A temptation to reach up and grab her ass was remarkable hard to ignore. "Tomorrow I will the guard summoned and allow them to choose who's family they will enter." She sat down, unable to pull up her pants without giving it away.

"And so the treasures are given." Aurora's words snapped everyone back to the ritual.

"We thank our Queen." The seventeen nobles said in unison.

"And the others have need to aspire." Aurora walked around the seventeen, speaking to the rest of the gathered nobles.

"Our loyalty will be rewarded." The response was followed by the sound of staff member shuffling out with silver pins and distributing them. None went to any of the men naturally.

"However there is one that has not been rewarded." Aurora said loudly, everyone paused, clearly not a part of the ritual. Aurora came full circle and stood below the high table. "My daughter." She turned to look at Anastasia. "It was your fiancé who help show my most loyal, as is custom, that means you are also rewarded." A golden pin was handed to Ana from over her shoulder by Lady Demise.

Ana took the pin and nodded at her mother. You guess that explains why some of the nobles hadn't picked their own partners, two chances to win instead of one. "I am immensely proud Lashay could be of such use."

Aurora turned back to the audience. Her aura overflowing with pride and joy, the feeling rippling throughout the room, to colour everyone. It was very similar to how you'd share feelings when you absorbed aura. If it was becasue she was the Queen or just her raw charisma you couldn't deny the effect Aurora had on her subjects as they applauded, grabbing cups and glasses making sure they were full and stood, Mary included. The seventeen and Lashay had glass pushed into their hands by staff member who hurried away.

You hurried to stand as well and failed to notice what Mary had been doing while Aurora had been speaking. Your pants didn't stand with you.

"TO OUR QUEEN!" Everyone shouted proudly as the royal crest formed in everyone of their auras. Mary drank through her smirk. Aurora returned to the high table but no one sat. She looked over at you and Mary and your currently pantsless state.

"Let the Maiden party begin." She declared to cheers and heavy drinking, including herself, the first time you'd seen her drink anything all night. She sat and everyone followed suit. Mary made no move to pull up her pants and you couldn't or else you'd lose. Aurora glanced over at the two of you as Mary's hand found your upper thigh. You put your cup down to to feel her thigh and the moment you did her other hand put down her cup, grabbed your and held it your lips. Well you lost for that one fair and square.

While you let her pour as much of the wine into your mouth as you could manage Lashay was unable to return to the high table as seventeen golden pins were attached to his toga. When the cup was put down you coughed a little, along with all the other guys who had just had wine poured into their mouths to echo Mary. You looked down at Lashay and his hurry to the high table in as dignified manner as he could manage as a few silver pins were attached. He sat without comment from Ana and took a deep drink for the cup on the table.

"Anastasia, you shouldn't let your fiancé drink alone." Aurora said softly leaning back in her chair. Ana looked her mother and saw you and Mary sitting without pants beside her. She grabbed her cup and drank deeply as her eyes strayed to your and her sister bare skin.

The door at the front of the ball room opened and Mary pulled her pants up quickly. You did the same, though you had to fight her hand for a moment to do so. Isabelle walked in with Delilah beside her along with the rest of the younger attendees. From the look on Delilah's face they hadn't had as much fun as everyone else. Isabelle was looking amused and as she walked past some of the people whose children she'd spent time with she leaned down to whisper, what she said you couldn't hear but from the often stammering then glaring at children responses you imagine it was gossip.

When Isabelle returned to the high table she noted all the pins on Lashay's toga. You had no doubt she knew what it meant but she decided to needle with questions about when he was suddenly wearing so many.

After a few minutes Aurora stood and walked behind Mary. Mary stood and you stood with her. Aurora brought the three of you down to the nobles and you started mingling. Mary leading you towards the nobles that Green had been talking with while many tried to subtly head for Aurora.

Mary started talking with the nobles about their house guard and the troops they were contributing to the army. Apparently they had provided a lot of decently trains one, you got comfortable sitting beside her and people watching, your eye drawn to Ana and Lashay. Ana was still at high table and was looking at the two of you. Her cup kept being refilled and as Lashay tried to talk with her she kept drinking. After a few minutes she stood, cutting Lashay off and walked to mingling with Lashay hurry after her. As she did a staff member followed offering her more wine.

"You're Lord Christopher aren't you?" A man asked from your side. He was middle aged with a number of silver pins on his toga.

You looked over at him, surprised someone had talked to you rather than Mary. "Yes, that's me." You answered looking down as the hand being offered. You didn't want to shake it, you wouldn't normally since sharing your aura hadn't ever ended well and you were a little drunk right now.

The man pulled back his hand. "My son spoke highly of you. He said you are rather close."

You blink at the man, he doesn't look like you'd think Edin's dad would look like in that he doesn't look anything like Edin. "Who is your son?"

"Adam. He writes letter home all the time. Mentioned that the two of you had some similar ideas." He looked around and whispered, "Regarding how some people are treated."

Adam, oh right the guy you met in the baths, Lucia made his uncomfortable when she joked about the two of you having sex. "Oh yes, Adam." Considering you'd only met him a day ago and haven't spoken to him since, close seemed a bit of a stretch. The man looked expectantly at you. "We did agree on some things." Mostly that guys should be sexually harassed in the baths if they said 'no'.

"Well, I happen to think it's a rather good opinion to have." He said then put a bit of paper in your hand. "A man in your position might be able to do something about those opinions." He stood up. "Sorry my wife is asking for me." Walking away you looked at the paper in your hand.

If this says Zara anywhere on it you are going to drink heavily.

'The Queen's cup, Sunday midday.'

Well it didn't say Zara. You put the note into a pocket. Maybe you'd just been invited to a mens rights meeting. That would be, interesting, possibly worrisome, and something you could maybe have made time for if you didn't have a million other people and things to do tomorrow, doing some of those people included ... wow you were drunker than you thought.

You and Mary moved to a different group and you both started being handed cups of wine. You weren't offered any more clandestine meetings but you did start to get a bit more involved with Mary's conversations. It really weirded out the noble ladies when you said something and Mary agreed with you, or didn't tell you to shut up.

Checking out the rest of the party you noticed that most of the guys had multiple pins, the ones that didn't were on the arms of their wives who glared at anyone who approached with one. You wonder if there were ever fights at these things.

"Christopher." Ana said from behind you. You looked over and saw he with Lashay behind. He looked serene and you saw a few silver pins on his toga. It made the bareness of your own notable to yourself. "Are you and my sister enjoying the party?"

Mary was still talking and hadn't seemed to have heard her sister. "We are yes."

Ana licked her lips. "I saw." She looked down at your pants. "You're going to enjoy the rest of the night as well?" In the hand that wasn't holding the cup of wine that was being refilled as she spoke was her pin.

You looked over and saw Aurora watching very closely. "Not as much as you and Lashay I'm sure."

Ana looked at him then walked backwards, pressing her back against you creating a tiny illusion around your head then whispering to your ear. "Bet you want to see that cock bouncing on your lap while you fuck him."

You coughed slightly worried others would hear or see through the illusion. "I don't your mother would see that as you keeping your end of the deal the two of you made."

Ana moaned a complaint. "I want to hear you say it for me. Say you'd fuck him for me, tell me you'd grab his hair and stuff your cock down his throat." She sighed and you felt her press her low half against you, "Or maybe you'd like to trying being on the other side?"

You tried to not picture what she'd just put in your head and thankfully Mary noticed her sister was stealing you before said sister had a chance to create any more images. "Sister." Mary grabbed your arm and pulled you away from Ana her other hand wrapping around with waist dangerously close to and inappropriate area. "You still have your pin." She said as Ana licked her lips watching the two of you.

Ana looked at the pin in her hand then at the two of you, you thought she was about to make a really terrible decision for a moment. "I just wanted to tease Lashay a little." She walked over to Lashay reached behind him with both hand and when she withdrew them the pin was gone. "Come on, I'm sure the owners of those other pins would like to see more of you." Ana walked away.

"Christopher." Lashay said to you with a slight bow before hurrying after her. Mary went back to talking about the nobles, you took a moment to stare at how Ana had used her pin. Lashay's toga was no longer covering his ass. When he left your sight you focused on Mary and not on any of the images Ana had put in your brain.

The party started winding down after a bit longer. Aurora had returned to the high table and was drinking more than you thought she would. Not downing cups by any means but easily needing a few fill every twenty or so minutes. You yourself were offered plenty more, either it had suddenly become custom for whoever Mary was escorting to drink a full cup for each person they spoke to, or the nobles found another way to make you stop talking. You might have cared more if the wine didn't taste so nice.

At some hidden signal Mary returned to the high table with you. Ana and Lashay were already there.

"Ladies." Aurora announced loudly. It took a bit longer this time before their was silence. "The Maiden party has ended." There was a cheer. "I thank you all for attending, and ask those of you departing to avail yourselves of the palace's quarters." A few nobles stood and left, mostly the ones who'd brought kids with them. You checked Isabelle and saw her standing with Delilah, though she clearly wanted to stay until Lady Demise 'helped' escort the two out through the backdoor.

When the room had been cleared of those leaving Aurora continued. "If you still have a pin stand." A handful of women stood. "Now you have your last chance to use it." The women hurried around, not all were attached to men, and it seemed like this was more about political stuff, if it was about someone you want to sleep with, you'd probably have done it before this. There was the occasional noise from those who'd been pin and the ones around them. "Join your chosen." There was a great shuffling as women moved around the room to clump around people, the ones who'd picked Lashay gathered below the high table. Unlike Ana's there wasn't anyone who had been left out. "You may take your chosen," while she spoke the tables and chairs were pulled away, pillow, blankets and all manner of comfy things were strewn about in the empty spaces. "Where ever you agree too." She looked at Ana for a moment then stood. "I thank you all for attending and partaking." Aurora stood and walked to the backdoor. "Enjoy." She said as she walked out.

There was a slight pause as people worked out where they would be going. Ana took the chance to stand and walk Lashay into the middle of the room and pull off his toga. She waved for the other to join her and lay him on his back. She whispered something into her ear and stepped back while the leader of the nobles who'd played with him started playing with him in a different fashion than last time.

"Wanna go?" Mary asked, while everyone hurried to get naked and ready for the apparently agreed orgy, or several entirely separate gangbangs at any rate.

You looked down at Lashay for a moment as the noble women took his cock inside herself letting out a very loud moan as she did. "Yeah." You said. The two of you left through the same door as Aurora. The moment it closed, Mary pushed you against the wall and started kissing your neck.

"Fuck that took so long." She moaned between kisses. "Know how long I've been dripping?"

"Since the dressing room when you saw me naked?" You asked, bringing your hand to ass and giving it a squeeze before bring it between the two of you and siding it between her legs. Through the dragon leather you honestly couldn't feel any heat.

She smirked. "Not how long have you been hard, how long I've been wet." She said nibbling at your neck.

"Oh right sorry. When you saw me this morning. personally I'm proud you didn't pull your pants and beg me to fuck you then." You lifted your hand above her pants waist and side it down, now you could feel how hot she was.

"Fuck." She moaned, biting your neck as your fingers ghosted across her clit. "No." She said through a heavy breath. "One more try."

"Hmmmmm." You blew the musing into her ear as your fingers moved lower, feeling how wet she was and sliding a finger inside her. "Around the time I pulled your pants down in front of everyone."

"Knew you did that on purpose." She said then pushed her lip against yours. Her tongue pushed it way past your lips and her hands started pulling your clothes off while you kept playing with her slit.

"Interrupting something am I?" Green asked. Mary let out a frustrated groan.

"Little bit." Mary said looking at her duplicate who was naked. "Oh." Mary said looking her up and down then a huge grin formed as a hand left your clothes to welcome her into the make-out session. Green didn't approach, instead regarding the two of you closely. "What?" Mary asked.

"Just wondering if this'll be enough. I mean there is a lot of - HEY!" The interruption was caused by Mary jumping on her, getting handful of her hair and pulling her head back to expose a lot of neck and biting it. "Fuck, right there." Green said, grabbing Mary's head and pushing her harder against her neck.

"Enough?" Mary asked letting Green's hair go and pushing their lips together. Watching the idential women kissing, Mary's tongue licking along Green's lips and Green's lips parting to let it in. Your pants felt a lot tighter than they used too.

"Stop talking." Green said as she started pulling Mary's clothes off. When the pair was naked they stopped kissing and both looked at you. "Joining in?" She asked while Mary held out her hand for you. You took the offered hand and was pulled into an embrace, Green and Mary each putting a hand on your ass as they kissed softly once. Mary then leaned in and kissed you, your lips parting only for a moment to touched each others tongues before she pulled away and Green kissed you in identical fashion.

"You know if you three of you wanted an audience you could have just stayed in there." Lady Demise said. Green jumped away from the two of you with a bit of a blush. "Dangerous getting naked and not being aware of your surroundings just becasue you want to included in your charge and her," she paused on the word, "partners fucking." At least she didn't say fiancé.

"Sorry mum." Green said.

"I've already got a room for you, away from anyone who might get curious." Lady Demise started walking and Green hurried after her. Mary sighed and pulled you along with her as she followed. You didn't want to ask who would get curious as the sounds from the ballroom had become very hard to ignore.

The three of you were led through the palace and towards where Aurora's bedroom was. For a moment you thought all those jokes about Aurora' bed being put to use tonight weren't jokes. And with how relieved Mary was when a door that wasn't her mothers was opened you weren't the only one. The three of you went in and Lady Demise looked at you all for a moment. "I am you sure you'll be having a good night." She said to you then closed the door.

You looked at Green who was still naked, and Mary who was pulling her pants down as you did. "Green." Mary said looking at you.

Green jumped on your this time, pulling your clothes off with remarkable ease. When the three of you were naked you all just took a moment to appropriate the view. Mary and Green's bodies might be identical but you full intended to find out just how identical tonight, unless their mother walks in all of a sudden or something ...
