You should get Hanna's input on her life

"I need to speak with Hanna." You say to Lady Demise who smiles and motions for you to follow. You give Vatarie and Asune a quick kiss on the lips as a goodbye, something Vatarie ties to make into more than a quick kiss but you manage to escape before any clothes get removed. "See you soon." You smile at the pair and follow after Lady Demise.

The walk is silent but you can't help but feel observed. She leads you into the palace and down several halls until a rather plain door stood you. She produces a key and unlocks it. The door swings open to reveal Hanna sitting on a simple wooden bed in plain white clothes. The scars on her face more apparent now that she was in clean clothes compared to when you last saw her. Chains around her hands and ankles attached to a bolt on the floor. She looked at you with very apprehensive eyes but did spare a glare for Lady Demise. Stepping into the room she shrunk away from you. Hard to take that personally, after your display in the duel if she hadn't been nervous around you it would have been disturbing.

"Greet your Master, Diya." Lady Demise said, reminding you of her presence.

"That's not. Can I talk with her alone?" You ask hoping that your request wouldn't be quibbled with. Lady Demise's face is unreadable but she leaves the room and closes the door behind herself. You've no doubt she'll be listening outside the door though stretching your perception out reveals her to have taken several steps away from it.

"What do you want with me?" Hanna asked bluntly. She sounded more bored than anything, the emotional toll of being paraded around the city would be a lot for anyone.

You looked around the room and notice a lack of both water and food. Getting up you knocked on the door, Lady Demise opened it. "I need some bread and water." Lady Demise nodded at your request and closed the door, walking away from it. You hadn't expected her to go herself. "Honestly, what I want to not be the one at fault for any suffering on your or anyone else's part."

"What?"

"I don't want a," you hesitated as the word **** was unable to leave your mouth. "I didn't want you to go through whatever Mary's officers would have subjected you too. I couldn't be the one responsible for your suffering and since I had the power to prevent it, not doing so would make me guilty of all you would have gone through. I didn't really think past that point when I, you know."

Hanna stared at you in confusion, which you thought was fair.

"Look I've spoken to some people and I have two options for you. One is that you'll stay in the capital with a member of my Hanun, she's, a lot but I'm confident you'll be safe. The other is to send you to the mother of a different member of my Hanun to live near the desert." You shift on your feet before explaining that one. "From what she said you'll be cared for but, she said something about you being a reward. There is a third option but, well it means staying here."

Hanna's confusion had chilled into indifference. When she started laughing you worried she'd been through too much and was having a break down. "Back to bed warming." She mumbled as her eyes waters. "If you care what I want give me a knife."

Your discomfort spiked considerably. Before you could stumble your way through a response the door opened with a tray containing a pitcher, a cup and loaf of bread. "Do you need anything else?" Lady Demise said as you took the tray off her.

"No that's all, thank you." You ushered her back out the door then put the tray on the bed. "I won't give you a knife." You poured some water into a cup and held it out for her. "And I'll never do anything like, that."

"But you'll send me to nobles who will?" It was a remarkable indifferent question delivered as she looked at the cup in your hand before turning away.

You put the put back on the tray and sat in silence with her for a while before asking, "When the officers led you away, what were you going to ask me?"

"Huh?"

"Right before you were taken away I thought you were gong to ask something then froze up. I was just curious what you were going to ask?"

Hanna was quiet for long enough you'd assumed she was done talking to you. "Do you know someone called Zara?"

That question hit you so hard it knocked most thought from your mind. "Huh?"

"It was a story my mother told me. A little girl call Zara appeared at her house before I was born. My mother gave her some food and in return she said that her daughter would meet someone with a flaming sword and a ring around his neck who would save her one day." She looked at you with a broken hope.

You had no response. Your mother? Well obvious it was your mother but why? What? Why? and for good measure, WHAT?! "Was that all she said. No more details at all? Some advice beyond saving you?"

Hanna's broken hope seemed to heal a little. "You know her?"

"I," you shut your mouth a looked at the door. Lady Demise was still a few steps from the door but you didn't believe she wasn't eavesdropping. "If you want to stay in the capital you'll be living at Lady Asune's family estate. You'll be looked after, though I don't know much about how, you know, works so I can't promise much more than that."

The healed hope wavered at you lack of commitment to her question. "Fine." She picked up the cup from the tray and downed it in one gulp.

You took that as the end of your conversation and left her in the room. Lady Demise locked the door behind you and waited patiently for your answer to her initial question. "Yeah, I've made a decision." Though it feels more like your mother made it for you. What is she up too? What was she up too actually? A pang of sorrow at never have met your mother in this world hit you. "I need to talk with Lady Asune." Lady Demise nodded and led you out of the palace and directly to Asune. "I want Hanna to stay at your family's estate."

"Anything for you." She said. The fact she didn't even mention asking her mother was both good for you, and a little concerning truthfully. Telling Lady Demise you want Hanna transported was quick and easy, you'd expected some degree of push back to try and give Aurora some more control but none came.

With that settled, you didn't feel a weight off your shoulders, if anything you just felt even more weight applied. What could your mother mean by 'save her'? Was it just about this, not letting her go to an officer, or was there more to it? From what Summer and your father told you about her she was very direct, the letters you'd read from her certainly supported that. The only thing she'd been overtly vague about was the ring and that was more wait and see than obfuscation. Hanna might know more than just a story her mother had told her, if so hopefully she'll be willing to share at some point. Also hopefully she isn't a **** psychopath you have just unleashed on Asune's family. She did lead a reported band of rapists, murders and general pillagers.

While you kept spiraling Lady Demise left you with Asune. "Come with me." She took your hand and led you away from the party. When asked why she smiled at you and said, "I want to reward you for trusting me with your ****. Which of my holes would you like to use?"

You blinked at her, the first part was making you emotional uncomfortable, the second part was making a part of your more physically uncomfortable. "I um."

Asune kissed your lips softly. "You can always trust me to do whatever you need me to do." She sunk to her knee before you stroking you through your pants. "Dragon leather feels wonderful."

"Dragon leather?" You looked down at your pants and the none scaly texture. "Don't dragon's have scales."

Asune looked up at you as she pulled your pants down and started stroking you with steady long motions. "They do, your pants are made from dragon throat leather. It's more flexible and resistant to heat."

"Dragon throat?" Your question was punctuated for you by Asune popping your tip into her mouth, running her tongue up and down your tip.

"Mhmm." She moaned around your tip before pulling back with a wet pop. "Let me know if you want to change to a different hole." She went back to nursing on your tip.

You held in a moan as you looked around the area she'd brought you too. It wasn't inside the palace but it was secluded part of the gardens. It also seemed unlikely you would be disturbed as from the white streaks around the near vicinity, you aren't the one people to make making use of this area. Putting a hand on Asune's head you take control of her pace. Fast short bobbing around your tip with her tongue working it's magic as she strokes your length in one hand and massages your balls with her other. It's kinda remarkable how easy you are to sex up.
