Curiosity must be Sated

"Come on now, my dear knight," Alice says with a smirk. "Do you really think I haven't heard it all by now? Whatever their trifling opinions are, it changes nothing. Perhaps, if they were the knights of old, the ones who carved our kingdom's borders with might and steel, I might hold their thoughts in higher esteem. Now? They're nothing more than fools riding the coattails of their firefathers."

Decades ago, the knights of Gardius were among the most feared warriors in the world, their lances and their steeds unwavering and unbreakable. But victory breeds decadence, and discipline falters without worthy foes. Gardius has stood on top for so long that it no longer remembers its past struggles. Alice intends to change that, even if she has to purge the entire nobility and recruit from the peasantry if she must. But in order to do that, she'll have to know more about them first.

"Well... the truth is..." Finley replies slowly and hesitantly, averting his eyes. "Whenever you're mentioned... all they speak of is your body."

Alice raised a curious eyebrow at that. To lust after the royal princess wasn't exactly a surprise, but to be bold enough to speak of it? Now that was interesting. It was a weakness she could exploit, when the time comes. But Finley knew more, and she was gonna pry it from him, methods be damned.

"And? Who's the current captain of the knights? What does he think of this matter? And... what about you?" Alice asks teasingly, enjoying the blush that appeared on her knight's face. It really was amusing how he was putty in her hands, and with a gentle push, he was sent sitting down above his bed. "Be honest now, my dear, and I may just reward you."

Finley swallows nervously, his adam's apple bobbing as he glances at her up and down, unable to hide his attraction. It was cute, in a juvenile way, and Alice didn't mind the attention. Still unable to meet her eyes, he continues speaking.

"Captain Cortese is the one most uh... enthusiastic about wanting to bed you. I think his boldness is influencing the others," Finley says. Cortese was not an unfamiliar name. In fact, it was a noble lineage dating back to her father's days. A shame how far it fell. "Perhaps, if we do something about him-"

"Leave the sinister plots to me, Finley," Alice interrupted with a grin. He wasn't wrong, but these things had to be done delicately, a skill he lacked. "Now, how about you? You didn't answer me yet I see..."

She leans in, taking his chin with her right hand and tilting his head upwards, forcing his gaze to meet her own. Her knight definitely didn't look bad at all with his youthful face and lean build, and she was in the mood to be more than a bit playful. Kicking off her heels, she rubs the crotch of his pants with the sole of her foot, and the effect was immediate.

"I... well..." Finley stammers, caught off guard by his lady's aggressive advances. He was stuck between focusing on the mounting pleasure below his waist and trying to form a coherent sentence, and as a result, could do neither. He gasps softly as Alice wriggles her toes, amping up the pace, and a moment later, he could no longer hold himself back.

The knight shudders as she draws out his climax, and his seed seeps through his pants, dirtying her stockings, though she doesn't seem to mind as she reaches underneath her dress, pulling the stockings off entirely, revealing her bare thighs.

"Well, that's answer enough for me," Alice giggles, tossing her discarded clothing at Finley. "Here, you can have this. Consider it a reward, if you like. Remember, keep up the good work, and I'll reward you some more."
