Steph Offers A Deal

Princess Elana was right. They were quickly lead to a dining room table that had the beginning of a five course meal set up. Each seat was labeled for the guest. Slowly everyone sat down. Everyone except for Steph. She stood taping her seat with a finger as she stared directly at the princess.

"King, I'd love to propose a deal." Steph said, taking the King and Sir Rouls by surprise.

"And what deal is that?" The King asked.

"I want your daughter. Her body is practically calling out to me. It's not just the typical allure of a virgin either. It's everything about her. Her shyness, her curves. She's perfect. I need to taste her~" She said with a lick of her lips. "She will stay here as my pet, girlfriend, whichever you'd prefer for her to be called. In exchange, she'd have access to the knowledge in this castle. Knowledge she can choose whether or not to share with you. In exchange, you'll get me as a fighter in any future war."

The King quietly thought about it. A single vampire could do a lot of harm to an army at night, but it seemed like such a waste of resources. He needed more. "I don't think the kingdom gets enough benefits from this. We lose an heir and gain the possibility of an alliance that could be broken at any point? Do you really expect me to agree to that?"

Sir Rouls then spoke, "Lets also not forget, that this castle is mine. I'm the one that decides if she stays or not, just like I'm the one who decides who gains the knowledge found in this castle. You can play with her tonight if you wish, I won't stop you. But she's not becoming a permanent resident here."

Steph shook her head with a sigh, that smirk still lingering on her face. "Reject the deal if you like, but you'd both be idiots. If I was to one day turn her into an vampire and we were to both get pregnant, then what would happen? The numbers in our ranks would increase by two. To your army, your majesty, that will be a great boost. As for you, Rouls, it'd make it less likely that other vampies will mess with you. The more trustworthy vampires that we have here, the better."

The two stayed quiet for a few moments, the king being the first to speak. "I agree to the deal."

A few seconds later, Rouls was the next to agree. "Fine, but we're making sure that she's up to standards. There's plenty of other women that you could have as a pet afterall."

"U-Um, don't I get a say in all this? I'd rather not be a pe-"

"No." Rouls said, followed by the king. "Think of the good that your doing for the kingdom. This will help increase relations with the vampires and guarantee that we have some on our side if a war breaks out."

She wasn't happy about the deal. Steph was attractive and certainly her type, but she was also a vampire. A very dangerous creature... And they wanted her to be a pet to one... But she stayed quiet, knowing better than to question the king.
