The Queen's Castle

It quickly became evident that you were going straight for the castle at the center of town. You passed through gate after gate, dragged across progressively nicer stone roads. It was like a parade of shame though as townsfolk paused to stare then whispered gossip to their friends or neighbors about the war captive being brought to their queen. Sure enough, you soon found yourself at the entrance to an elegant castle, two oaken doors pushed open by the guards posted outside, revealing the dim interior, light only by natural light from stained glass windows and the occasional torch. A long red carpet lead up to the throne at the other end.

A swift kick in your back side moved you onward, forcing you to march ahead of the knight. As you approached the stairs up to the throne, another kick **** you to your knees. Before you could try to stand, the knight prodded you with their foot, insisting that you knell before royalty.

Before you, sat what you could only assume was the Queen. A stern look seemed to be her constant expression, contrasting the curly blonde hair that ran like curtains past her face and down onto her clothing. A simple red bodice and black dress were her outfit of choice, adorned here and there with bits of gold that matched her crown and necklace.

Upon seeing you, the regal looking woman groaned, leaning ahead to allow her forehead to rest against her palms. She took a deep breath before sliding her fingers back, as if combing her blonde hair.

"Knight Raine, I told you I needed a female captive," She said, giving you the briefest moment of hope that you might be spared whatever fate had planned.

"Twas the best I could do, Lady Aurelia," The knight replied, their voice sounding a bit more masculine, though maybe it was just the tone they chose to address the queen, "Our enemy had all but evacuated by the time we got there."

The Queen glared down on the knight, her grey eyed stare seeming to carry physical weight. In response, the knight knelt down, bowing their head deeply and muttering a few apologies for their perceived failure.

"I'm certain he'll work, he barely looks like a man at all," The Knight said, a bit hypocritically, "Why, if I wasn't holding his leash, the boys would have all had their way with him by now."

You stole a quick worried glance at the Knight for that comment, before looking nervously back at Queen Aurelia. She stroked her chin, a smile playing across her lips. It soon grew into a sinister-looking grin as she glanced back to the Knight. She dismissed them with a wave. You felt your leash drop to the floor and for a moment considered running as the Queen rose from her throne. Lifting up one heel-clad foot, she planted it down on your crotch before you had a chance to run, the pointed stiletto stamping threateningly against your sack. Despite a grimace on your face, you looked up at the Queen as she spoke.

"I suppose you will do, I'll have to put a bit of work in, but perhaps its a fitting punishment for the man who failed to defend his kingdom to wind up as a rival Queen's little bitch-boi..." She said, using the word 'man' almost mockingly as she threatened the only thing that seemed to make you one at the moment with a twist of her heel.

(What does the queen need?)

-A Maid (Despite having an expansive staff, Queen Aurelia is demanding and always require more servants. The current maids will gladly train someone new to take the brunt of the work, but at least you'll be safe....unless you fail your job)

-A Substitute Bride (Aurelia's only daughter is arranged to marry the prince of a distant land for political reasons and she'd rather not have it happen. You will be used as a replacement for her in the wedding and beyond. Of course, should you be discovered, the consequences may be severe...)

-A Traveling Companion (Reports of **** and robbery on the road have risen. In order to protect herself from a potential attack, Aurelia wishes to use you as a body double who can be kidnapped in their place. Of course, she has little care for what happens to you after you're kidnapped...)
