Chapter 6 by Ganti

How does she respond?

With surprise, at first...

Claudette stiffens when your lips first brush hers, and her eyes widen. You immediately begin to second-guess yourself, but right as you're about to pull away Claudette starts to kiss you back. It started fairly tame- you'd almost say chaste, and if it was between a long separated couple it would be, but a lovers kiss between siblings could never truly be called chaste. (You don't care.) Of course, just because it started as tame as it could be doesn't mean it stays that way. You're not sure who started it, but you find yourself exploring Claudettes' mouth as you welcome her into yours. You embrace each other as your tongues dance, conveying years of pent up passion.

Eventually, mutual lack of breath forces you to break the kiss. Both of you breath deeply, trying to catch your breath. You relish her taste and scent for a moment, before dragging yourself back to the here and now. Claudette smiles at you, then blinks, obviously coming down from the same high you were recovering from. She still looks happy, but a touch of worry creeps into her expression, but most people couldn't tell.

"... Ephraim?" Her voice was just a touch unsteady, unsure. "Why? Why me?"

You're not sure how to answer that. There are so many reasons why you picked her. It was hard to boil them down to an answer that wasn't 'because shes' Claudette'. She's about to start questioning again, so you lean in and seal her lips with another kiss, this one much tamer and briefer, before pulling back.

"Why would I want anyone else?"

Queen's Blade, a fighting tournament where beautiful fighters compete and fight against each other in battle for the right to be Queen of the whole continent as decreed by god many centuries ago. The reason for it has been lost to time and simply accepted as an he says things are. The continent is filled with many beautiful fighters that travel the land and many have made a mark on history including this that have become Queen by winning the Queen's Blade tournament taken place in the continent capital city Gainos. Men on the other hand are at best spectators and would be obstacles for the beautiful fighters. The highest rank of powr a man could ever achieve is Count in the continent and the majority of the nobility have been at odds the Queen's Blade and some have even plotted to overthrow the Queen and Queen's Blade entirely but none have yet succeeded. The only exception would be Owen, The Dragon Smiter who traveled on many adventures with beautiful fighter Cattyleia,famously known then as the Giant Slayer, and eventually married her. Yet he disappeared, leaving his wife and son Lana, alone at the weapon shop they buitl together. Across the Eastern sea tells a different story. The Feudal land of Hinamoto ruled by the child-like emperor and his vassal lords, is in turmoil as the Fuedal lords are plotting against him and the country, supposedly on the behalf of the Continents current Queen Aldra. Hinamoto has sent a champion to the continent to partake in the Queens Blade to investigate and if necessary win the tournament. Other that is of any particular concern to yourself, at least not entirely, Hinamoto is just a testament that Queen Alerts is swerving her own agenda above her duties as Queen, what that is is known only be herself and perhaps members of her court. To top it all off is the constant threat of the the Swamp Witch and her nefarious minions who have been trying to overthrow Queens Blade and plunge the world into chaos, and these are the threats and events that are know from angles first glance from heaven the world is full of many hidden dangers that apparently only Beautiful fighters can face. Do you have something to say to that? Will you simpy just be apart of this world, or do you plan to change it?
