A beauty treatment for yourself and Edin

Ana herds you into the next building while you are far too busy thinking. In hindsight a clasp isn't really proof that the other champion is from your world, there are only so many ways to invent a clasp for a bra. And even the designs for negligee have a limit the shapes they can take.

You feel a bit of a pang in your chest as you come to that conclusion. The brief moment of thinking you'd have someone you can actually connect to with a shared past experience had really made you excited. With all the people in your life, you thought it was strange to feel that but you did. Maybe you should ask Clare what the chances are that someone from your world also got brought here.

"Christopher, Christopher." Ana repeated.

"Huh, what?" You asked looking at her. Only now noticing that you were in a room with a two tables in the centre of the room with a lounge to the side. Ana was in the lounge nodding at a table. Edin was in the other one, naked with a towel around his waist laying face down.

"Is this new?" You asked as you approached the massage table.

"No. What do you mean?" Ana asked.

"Nothing sorry." You shake your head to dislodge the loneliness that had no business being in there and took off your clothes. You got to your underwear and hesitated. Both Edin and Ana were looking very attentively at you. You laughed at their brazen slutiness and freed your soften length. They both looked a little disappointed at you not being as excited at the prospect of being seen as they were at the seeing.

You lay on the table face down and hear a door opening. "Thank you for visiting us your Highness." A light voice said as it walks over to your side. "Do you have a preferred scent for your men?" A small cart was wheeled along side them, the tinkle of glass echoing around the room.

"Strong, pretty." Ana answered bluntly. A few of the bottles were picked up, poured into a cup, and mixed together. "And make sure they are both stunning in their own way."

"Of course your Highness." You feel a pair of hands on your back, massaging a slick oil into your back. You do enjoy being on the receiving end of this every now and then.

You hear a soft moan from Edin and soon enough join his vocalizations. The masseuse is excellent, far better than you've ever been and they're working without the benefit of you really wanting to fuck them, something you've had on your side every time you've massaged someone.

They worked down to your lower back then moved down to your feet. That was a little more painful than pleasurable but when they were done your feet just felt warm. Beside you Edin wasn't having the same response. His whining brought an end to the foot massage and more a gently kneading. As the hands on your moved up to your thigh, brushing under the towel slightly as the hand moved to just below your buttock.

"Roll over please." You masseuse said. You did as they lifted the towel it didn't fall off. You looked your masseuse and was a little surprised to see a guy, a very feminine guy but a guy none-the-less. You know you'd been thinking your presence and relationship with the royal family would affect at least a little bit of the general public's taste in masculinity but apparently you were wrong.

They moved over to your head and worked on your shoulders while you closed your eyes.

"No thank you." Edin said bashfully. You looked over and saw him looking at you bashfully. You roll your head to the other side but he still refused.

"Edin roll over." Ana ordered. There was a bit of a delay but you heard him doing so. "Good boy."

You could feel some discomfort from the other side of the room but didn't look over. The massage you were getting was far too good for you to experience discomfort yourself, and as the massages went on you could feel Edin's discomfort melting away.

When the masseuse reached your lower stomach and brush against the towel you noticed you were hard. Honestly amazing given how totally nonsexual this massage both is and felt. There was no comment from the one working you as they moved to your feet and worked your way up.

Beside you Edin was moaning rather happily, very happily in fact. Actually it sounded almost like her was going to. "Christopher." He moaned loudly. You resisted the urge to look over at him but the totally nonsexual massage you were getting suddenly felt a little more exciting. "S-sorry."

"Happens all the time." His masseuse said, continuing to work.

As the hands working your thigh started to move underneath your towel to work on your hips you felt yourself flexing. You didn't comment on it and neither did they. As they finished one side and moved around to the other you felt their hand wonder for a moment.

You looked at them, not entirely comfortable with anything like that happening. You might be a little repressed thanks to all the unsatisfied or incomplete touching you've been receiving but you're preferred resolution to that being a more familiar face.

Your otherside is completed along with Edin's and masseuses step away for a moment. You think that is the end of this but neither Edin nor Ana move. After a moment the masseuses return with a bunch of scissors, tweezers, combs and other implements.

Rather than explaining what is going to happen they get to work. Plucking any hair they find that isn't on your head, cutting the hair on your head with exacting perfection, pressing a bit of metal into you to massage for a moment before attacking that spot with tweezers.

When you flip over your erection is completely gone, that nonsexual aspect firmly in place at this point. When your back was done you and Edin had another pause before being wiped down, flipped again and wiped the rest of the oil off. After that you had what might be perfume from the smell dabbed on you.

Getting up from the tables you felt a lot better than you had been. Your previous issues forgotten under their expert hands. Before you got dressed however you did catch Edin watching you closely. When you were both dressed and ready Ana lead you out, thankfully no surprise anachronisms greeted you so you got onto the carriage without any issues. Now you were off to the palace for lunch.

Almost as soon as the door closed Edin jumped into your lap and grinding on you. You hand grabbed his ass as you made out, he smelled like flowers and seasalt. You felt yourself straining against you pants very quickly but he kept grinding until he stopped very suddenly. Getting up he turned around and sat back down so your ass was between his cheeks. He started breathing heavily and Ana put her hand back into her pants.

Each time the carriage hit a bump both you and Edin moaned. You really wanted to fuck him, but you knew you weren't going to finish by the time you arrived at the palace, given the last time you were here being inside Edin would certainly be the polar opposite but horribly inappropriate to any poor soldier who had to pretend it wasn't happening until you finished.

Edin and Ana started making out as he gave you a lap dance and you got the feeling he was getting close to make the decision to fuck for you. Ana pulled away, noticing the same and pulling Edin off you and into her lap. He curled up as a hand snaked down his back and into the pants. He cooed happily and kissed her neck while she fingered him staring at you intensely.

When the carriage arrived Ana had managed to bring Edin close but stop him from cumming three times. It was good you arrived at that point, you think the fourth time might actually make Edin cry.

As the three of you left the carriage and you saw all the palace guards watching you, you felt like you made the right decision for the sake of workplace professionalism. Walking inside you were led to one of the smaller dinning rooms with a little terrace, table and lounges set up out there for you.

As the three of you got set up the door opened. You'd been expecting it to be the food, arriving when Ana had requested it to be delivered.

"Princess Anastasia, Lords Edin and Christopher, Queen Aurora would like you to have lunch with her instead." Lady Demise said, you felt her glaring at you. The last time you'd seen her you probably got closer to terrifying her than anyone had in a long time so the glare felt deserved.

"I would love to eat with mother." Ana said getting up. "Though I'm sure she'd appreciate it if next time we could be sent directly too her rather than wasting time going to the wrong room."

"Of course your Highness, my apologies. Lord Lashay will also be joining, I'm sure you'd love to spend time with your fiancé, given how distracting the academy has been all week." Lady Demise reply with a polite bow. "If you would please follow me."

You got the impression Ana and Aurora were still fighting, if it was the same fight about Lashay and Ana's attempts to ruin that engagement or a new fight was anyone's guess. Though for Lady Demise to be so openly sniping at her you'd put money on it being a new fight.

All three of you followed Lady Demise out of the room and down a few corridors. You swear you doubled back at one point but couldn't say for sure. When you arrived and the door opened you saw the familiar office of Aurora. Ok you must have doubled back because it should not have taken that long to arrive.

"Daughter, Edin, Christopher." Aurora said with a faint nod, looking more guarded when she turned to you than she had been.

"Mother, Lashay." Ana answered. It wasn't open disdain towards Lashay, more an absence of concern.

"Princess Anastasia." Lashay said then looked over you and Edin, a slight smile on his face. "Lords Edin and Christopher."

"Queen Aurora, Lord Lashay." You and Edin say back. There is an uncomfortable pause before Aurora waves for you to sit. Ana moves to her right hand side, you try to follow by Lady Demise diverts you to Aurora's left. Edin and Lashay are also on Aurora's right so you are feeling like your positioning was indicative.

"Lashay go join Christopher. I'm sure he'll get lonely on his own." Ana said dismissively. Lashay hurried over. Ana looked a little proud at how easily she was able to separate the two of them despite her mothers clear attention.

"Thank you Lashay." Aurora said, not trying to fight back which you immediately saw put Ana on edge. It must be exhausting fighting like this you've only watched a second of it and you already don't want to be involved.

"I wanted to say sorry for my last visit." You said, hoping saying sorry for that would make you feel a little better and ease the tension.

"No physical harm done. However, in light of your episode I've decided to limit any more, aura sharing of such volume." Aurora reached over and patted your knee while Ana watched with tighter lip than usual.

"I fully agree." You said looking at the hand that was still there.

"I'm glad you can see the danger of such a possibility." Aurora took her hand away without look at Ana. "Do you understand why this, event happened?"

"I believe it is down to volume, aura sharing includes an emotional element and the number of people I was sharing with was greater than my emotional capacity."

"We'd surmised as much." Lady Demise said as she brought the customary tea over.

"How many attendees does the Church of Nurture currently have?"

"A little over seventy-nine, though that number will continue to grow." Lady Demise said as she poured your tea into your cup.

"Then maybe it would be best to apply some, limits to that attendance. Don't you agree Christopher." Aurora asked. And there goes your hope you won't be dragged into whatever this is.

Though she does make something of a point. From your understanding the religious element of that aura sharing should negate the potential Greying out you'd experience. It had happened with the soldiers because the unifier had been a person rather than feeling, you think anyway. But that does also mean being involved in limited religious freedoms, and sure you were worried about one member in particular getting a little burn the heretics at the stake but not the religion as a whole.
