A couple things, yeah.

Ten minutes later, Gwendolyn and Seleste were in the double-room where they were to spend the night, with Gwendolyn reclining on one of the beds, they had no intentions of utilizing both of them, and Seleste was standing by the window which faced the city walls.

“So, what do you think?” Seleste asked, having noticed that Gwen had looked at Aldric with the same sort of glint in her eye as she had.

"I don't know what to think. As soon as I saw him I felt the same as I felt with you, my love. I...I'm confused." Gwendolyn said, sounding guilty at her thoughts as well.

Seleste figured where the guilt had come from, and turned from, a benign smile on her face, "Oh, don't feel guilty. I felt the same as when I got close to you as well with him." She said this as she was taking her shirt off. She dropped it to the floor and sauntered over to her loving princess.

Gwendolyn smiled at her lover, still feeling guilty over her attraction to Aldric. "You...you did? It's...it's natural? He's the first male I've ever felt anything like this for before. But...then...you are the first woman I felt like this for...oh I'm so confused!"

Seleste crawled onto the bed, her breath shallow and fast, her nipples diamond hard, "Well, maybe...maybe all this was meant to be? Perhaps...Perhaps there is a Fate and we are it's pawns. I can tell you I don't mind, that's for sure. I...I love your tongue in my pussy, I love it also playing in my mouth. I love your squeals of joy as I part you lips and suck in your sweet nectar. I love you. I also think that I would like to know Aldric better as well. And I want you to share in that enjoyment. He has the make up of an attentive lover. As in he'll make love to you as he's fucking your brains out."

Their lips were millimeters apart, their breathes intermingling. "You...think? We...there'd be no jealousies or anything? I Know I couldn't bear to lose you, him, right now? He I could."

"Let's not think of this, let's just show each other how much we feel for each other, and then figure out how to get Aldric. If we have to wait until the end of his quest, then so be it. But I believe he is one that wold be able to protect us. Joa eventually has to get back to her ship, you know." Seleste said, quietly.

"I know..." Gwendolyn answered, before raising her head up and sealing her lips around Seleste's.

“I guess that you’ve got options to the high elder’s daughter now,” Amalric told Aldric, laughing at how red his baby-brother’s cheeks got in response to this.

"Brother..."

"Oh, calm down. It's all right, I think they both wanted you. Now, I'm going down for a nightcap. I shall be up in a little while. There'll be no fighting tonight. We have a Quest to complete starting tomorrow." Amalric replied, holding back more chuckling.

With that Amalric moved to the door, taking as a precaution only his short sword. He didn't want another fight, but he wasn't going to leave empty handed, too many years as a warrior left him cynical of men in their drinks.

He closed the door behind him and got two steps to the stairs when Joa came up with a bottle of wine. She smiled at him as she noticed him, "Same idea as I, hmm? A little nightcap to help you sleep."

Amalric grabbed the bottle to get a better look at the label, "Red Jadhian Wine from the vineyards of Thoy? This was...it was Julissia's favorite."

Joa nodded, "Yes it is that...who is Julissia?" Joa asked.

"She...she's my wife."

"Oh." Joa said, wondering why she felt this disappointed. 'Figures...he would be married. And those small town folk usually keep to their promises. Their oaths.'

Amalric looked into Joa's eyes, noting the disappointment in them. He closed his eyes, "She...she died three summers ago. Childbirth. My...my son was taken as well."

Joa gasped, "Oh...I'm...I'm so sorry! I can't even...imagine that...You can have this if you like."

Amalric, however, wasn't listening, still staring at the bottle. He remembered the first time he had procured the wine on a hunting expedition that had taken them near the Jadhian border. It was the first night she had declared her love for him. Drunk though she may have been she did stick to it. Luckily for him it was her and not her older sister. He shuddered at the thought, and drove his memories back to his beloved. Her smooth skin, her smile, her scent. The sound of her voice as he gently rubbed her virgin pussy that night. Two weeks later his father had taken him on his Manhood quest. A week after that he chose her. On the next full moon the ceremony took place, and that night...He heard a voice.

Amalric, my beloved... Her heard the voice but...Joa did not. The time of mourning is well passed. It's time to move on.

'But I love you, I can't betray...' Amalric thought.

I love you and I want you to be happy. Go with her...she is made of stronger stuff. It's why I hesitated so long. I never told you this...but my father told me that a fortune teller had told my mother before I was born that I wouldn't see my children. I was never healthy enough to bear children. I wanted to though, which is why I agreed to be yours. I had hoped that the fortune teller just meant I wouldn't see my children...not that he would die in birth. To leave you something. Now if you love me...live. Show her why I fell in love with you. I will be waiting for you...my love.

Amalric came back to his senses, and looked into Joa's eyes. "Why don't we...share this wine, yes?"

"Are you sure? I mean if this was her favorite then I can go get another, and you can have this one, I mean I don't even know what love really feels like, and I don't..." Joa's babbling stopped as Amalric gently placed a finger to her lips.

"I am sure. Let's just say...I've decided to move on a bit."

"But if you loved her..."

"I do with all my heart. You could probably never take her place...I'll just try and find a new place for you."
