A formal introduction

They entered the throne room. A red carpet stretched from the doorway to the steps of the throne itself, which was an ornate white marble chair that reflected the gothic style of the palace around them. Sitting in the chair was the woman from the last painting, albeit older. Instead of the teenage girl Rosa saw depicted out in the Hall, she was now a woman in her mid 20’s.

She was clad in a black mesh dress that allowed any onlookers to see her nude body beneath it. On each of her shoulders were ornate silver pauldrons fastened by a small chain. Her red lipstick against white makeup gave her an almost otherworldly look to her, as if she was something beyond mortal. As the delegation entered she reclined in her throne. On either side of her were women dressed the same way as Gabrielle was; black, skin-tight, long sleeved tops, short black capes with hoods, black leather boots, and black stockings going up to mid-thigh. Their crotches, as seemed to be the custom, were bare, giving the whole delegation a view of their clean shaven pussies. The only difference between them and Gabrielle were the sidearms strapped to their thighs and the laser pikes they held at standby.

“The honorable Delegation from the Modes System will approach and state their business.” The one to the right of the Queen said.

“Your highness” said the Prime Minister “we are all honored by your gift of allowing our humble planet to establish an embassy in your beautiful city, on your wonderful planet of Erogena. As per our agreement, we have here two of the brightest and most attractive young minds on our planet to serve as resident ambassadors in your harem. As of the end of this meeting, we graciously give them into your care.”

“Thank you, Prime Minister.” The Queen responded with a voice that was gentle and yet commanded respect “I look forward to seeing what they can provide. As for your embassy, I have requested an architect who will be here shortly to assist you in designing it. I trust it will meet both of our standards. For as long as you need to give input on its design you and your envoy are welcome here as honored guests of the Queen, and will be provided all the amenities as such. You may follow Gabrielle to your rooms. The two you offer to my harem will stay here. Thank you for your time Prime Minister, I trust this agreement will be mutually beneficial.”

“Thank you, your Highness”

“And one more thing: I would like you and your wife to meet me in my bedchamber tonight. There are many ways to close a deal Prime Minister, and some are more interesting than others.” She said with a wink.

“We would be honored, my lady.” He said with equal coyness.

The delegation turned and left, following Gabrielle who had accompanied the party thus far. Only Rosa and Kynan stayed still where they were. Their hearts beat inside them as the silence became palpable. It was only when the door at the entrance of the room closed with a boom did she speak again.

“I understand all this must be very new to you both. Not to worry, I am not a cruel leader like on some other human planets. You needn’t worry. What are your names?”

“Rosa.” Said Rosa

“Kynan” said Kynan

“Well Rosa and Kynan, I’m glad you accepted this role. When speaking to me you will address me as ‘My Queen’, ‘your Highness’, or ‘your Majesty’. You certainly are both very pretty in the face, but those beautiful robes you’re wearing do tend to cover up the more interesting areas. Would you please strip for me? I need to know what I’m working with.”

Stripping for a handmaiden or a couple ship staff was one thing, but for a Queen? Rosa for the first time in her life suddenly felt very self conscious about her body. However, she imagined that even though the Queen seemed nice enough, it wasn’t very polite to refuse a direct order, no matter how nicely it’s worded. She and Kynan began to slowly strip, their robes falling to the floor as they loosened the various clasps and knots.

They stood nude in front of the Queen, the cool palace air brushing past their exposed skin.

“My, my. Gabrielle wasn’t lying. You two truly are sexy. Thank you both. I’ll call my trainer in so she can get a good look at the both of you as well. She’s the one that will train you how to properly act like good concubines in my harem.”

She pressed a button on the side of her throne and after a minute a blonde woman wearing only a leather corset and knee high boots entered from a side door

“You rang, my Queen?”

“Mistress Janet, these are our two new trainees to the Harem. Your job for the next week is to whip them into shape. If they aren’t ready for service by that time then it will be your duty to ‘entertain’ the barracks for as long as it takes for one of the veteran slaves to complete their training.”

“Yes My Queen. I understand completely. Boy! Girl! Come with me. We have work to do.”

Kynan and Rosa had no choice but to follow. leaving their clothes on the floor of the throne room, and entering into the next chapter of their lives.
