Introduction 2

The king stares at the three of you in shock for a moment, then says, "Sir John! What on earth is going on!?"

You hesitate for a moment, unsure of how to proceed. Then, realising that the game is up, you pull out of his daughter and, standing, turn to face him. "Your majesty," you say, "what is going on, or rather what was going on before you interrupted, was a threesome involving myself, your daughter, and her maidservant."

Quite calmly you stroll over to the heap of clothes on the floor that belongs to you, and start to put them on as the king stares at you, flabbergasted.

"How dare you!" he finally cries. "You did me a fair turn in my service, and I am eternally grateful for your help in dealing with the sorcerer-"

"Two sorcerers," you correct, pulling on your shirt.

"But this is really too much! How dare you! My daughter... my precious, pure daughter! You think you can do this and get away with it, just because of your reputation?"

You pay him no mind, as you finish dressing and buckle your sword on at your hip. Out of the corner of your eye, you can see the princess and the maid hastily covering themselves up with the bedsheets. "I think I had better leave," you say.

"The hell you will!" he answers. "You'll not go anywhere until you tell me what is the meaning of this affrontary!"

"The meaning," you say, is that your daughter is not so pure as you imagine her, but quite a slut." The king gasps with outrage. "And you ought to marry her off as soon as possible so that she doesn't get with child out of wedlock."

"Guards! Seize him!"

You realise that you've made an error in calling his daughter a slut in front of him, but its too late now as the guards advance on you. But, as ever, you have an escape route already planned out, and immediately dash out onto the balcony that is attached to the bedchamber. From there, you use a handy bit of vine which you noticed earlier, to clamber down to the balcony beneath.

As you drop down onto it, you hear the shouts of your pursuers above. You run through the room, apologising briefly to the lord and lady who fucking on the bed, and sprint down the hallways. Most of the guards are unaware that you're meant to be being arrested since the news hasn't spread, and let you pass since you're the hero who saved the city.

You're out of the castle before the king has even had the chance to raise the alarm, and strolling through the streets of Traylen as contentedly as can be with neither sight nor sound of any pursuers. That could all change very quickly, though, so you consider your options: you could go to an inn and hide up for a few days, or you could just flee the city altogether...
