The better question is how are they judged

Anastasia spreads her arms, "Trials step forth." The guys walk to the centre of the room. "You have tested these women as is your duty." The guys didn't answer back, evidently they don't get their own call and response. "Reveal to me your judgement."

The guys collectively undo pants or raise top exposing a wide array of dicks. Anastasia walks to the most selected 'trial' and stares at his privates. He had been fully erect but under Anastasia glare he shifts uncomfortable. Anastasia waves her hand and he goes back to his group. "Your trial did not you worthy. And your performance was unworthy of your audience." There was a drunken muttering agreement from the audience and the twenty women looked mopey.

It took you a second to figure it out the judging but it was simpler than you thought the ritualised situation required. If the guy stays erect the women had done enough to keep him charmed if he didn't they hadn't and the audiences judgement of their games with their 'trial' makes a secondary judgement.

Anastasia moved to the next to remained hard and deemed they worthy as the audience cheered. She continued down the line staring at a wide array of lengths as the audience cheered and jeer at the relative sturdiness of said lengths. You could see some of the guys were not at all comfortable with this and when they went back to their group they were heckled by the women who had chosen them.

When Ansatasia reached the sisters and Cynthia's 'trial' there was a mass of applause and they pass both parts of the test. It did leave you wondering why they had asked if you can get them invitations to the after party since it didn't seem to be needed at all.

When Anastasia finished the last guy she looked at Clare who smiled and bowed at her. Clare had be studiously avoiding your gaze throughout the party to avoid inciting Anastasia. Since Anastasia couldn't exactly reveal an erection for the first part of the test she waved Clare to her. "You sought to prove your worth without a trial." Anastasia said as Clare knelt before her looking at then darting her eyes to you and smiling. Anastasia looked over to you. You smiled at Anastasia and ignored Clare. "Your performance was." She was cut off by an outburst of applause. "Accepted by your audience." The cheering quieted when she spoke again and everyone waited on baited breath for her assessment. "I deem you worthy." She didn't sound happy but the audience was drunk enough that their cheering covered up her tone.

Anastasia walked back and stood in front of you, putting her legs between you and Clare. "For the worthy arise."

"And we are risen." The worthy women stood with their 'trials'

"The unworthy must fall."

"And we are fallen." The unworthy women lay flat on their backs not sounding super happy about this.

"But we must be as one against our trials." The 'trials' walked away from their groups to stand in a circle in the middle of everyone.

"And we knell to our sovereign." All the women moved into a larger circle around the men and knelt down facing Anastasia. Asune and Vatarie got up to stand on either side of Anastasia taking a hand each end walking with her between the men and women.

When she finished the circuit and returned to her position she took her hands back. "Enjoy the Maiden party my friends." There was cheering and the side door open with staff walking back out with food and drink. Some even had instruments and assembled in a corner beginning a lively song with lute, drums, flute and singing. The women broke from the circle and grabbed a few of the guys by their hands, pulling them into hugs and kisses.

When Anastasia came back she sat on her lounge and patted the seat next to smiling at you. You got off the floor and sat next to her. "Wait wasn't that the maiden party?" You asked gesturing broadly. You admit when all was said and done the ritual thing wasn't that long, maybe two hours but surely enough for it be a party.

"That was just the Anoke." Vatarie said plunking down on the lounge with you holding a sweet smelling mug and leg of meat. "So much better when they are quick as that." She sounded very happy as she ate and drunk.

"It was the ritualised introduction of attendees to host, most of the time they can take a day or more." Asune said thankfully explaining for you. Unlike Vatarie she sounding very bored as she sat down on Anastasia's other side with a glass in hand. She clearly didn't seem to have enjoyed that as much as every else did.

"The maiden party will go until the invitations are handed out." Anastasia said pointing to a staff member handing out small gold coins to a few women who had gotten louder cheers than the others. One walked your group and handed them to the women. On one side was a naked man on the other a naked women.

"Clare." Asune called out. Clare walked over and bowed to the lounge. "Here." She flicked the coin to Clare who caught it smoothly.

"I am honoured Lady Asune." Clare bowed and walked back into the parties mingling.

Your eyes hadn't left Asune so you saw that she hadn't looked at Clare for one moment, she was focused on Anastasia, who was thin lipped and reached an arm down to hold your waist. You didn't think Asune would ever risk toying with Anastasia.

"Ohh good choice. Do you know what she was singing?" Vatarie said drinking deeply as she ripped some meat off the bone in her hand with her teeth.

"That isn't what I was paying attention to." Asune said cryptically. "By your leave Princess." She stood and bowed walking into the partying women.

"Christopher." Vatarie said nudging you. You looked over to see her coin sitting on her chest. She looked down at it and winked at you. "For you."

You reached up not doing great at avoiding stroking all the exposed boob of off as you plucked it free. Vatarie snapped her head forwards and caught your lips in a kiss. You felt a tongue against your lips and parted them. Vatarie made out with you for long enough that you got a bit drunker just from that. When she pulled away she bit your lip. "Thank you." You said pulling your lip free. She hummed happily and rested her head on yours as she drank and ate.

After a few minutes she sprang forth and walked into the party.

Anastasia's hand on your waist tightened and you looked over at her. She had her coin in her hand rolling it over her fingers. "For you." She said catching it between her thumb and forefinger.

"Thank you." You said plucking the coin free and smiling at her the way you smiled at Clare. She blushed and stood.

"Would you accompany me." She offer her hand not her arm and you took it standing next to her.

"I would love to." You added some emphasis to the love part and she smiled at you. It hadn't occurred to you before but with her red hair and gorgeous face she was stunning. She smiled back at you for a moment before covering it up and walking with you into the partying mass.
