Achilles carried Seraphina through the Palace in his arms despite her protests that she can walk, after a short while, they reached a grand golden archway in the left wing of the Palace. Achilles nudged the door open with his foot and stepped inside still carrying Seraphina. Seraphina was surprised to see Bethel, Rose and Melanie seated there. They had changed clothes and were dressed in beautiful, modest gowns. A far cry from the ugly servants' uniforms they had spent their lives wearing. What was even more surprising was, they were all sat drinking tea and laughing with the King and Queen!
Achilles walked to the table and gently sat Seraphina down in a tall, ornate chair. He took the seat next to her and nodded to Bethel, Rose and Melanie. The three of them stood and bowed in return, “No need for formalities ladies, we are practically family n
Seraphina had indulged herself far too much, as soon as she ate one thing off of her plate, Achilles was sure to replace it with something different. By the end of the tea, she was sure she had tasted everything there. She had never eaten so much before and had never experienced the feeling of fullness. A wave of tiredness suddenly hit her and she fought hard not to slump in her seat. Achilles was immediately aware of Seraphina’s fatigue and prepared to make their exit from the afternoon tea. Achilles was about to speak up when Narcissus suddenly started “Child, you look utterly exhausted!” he said to Seraphina. “Achilles, what are you doing keeping your Princess here, take her to rest at once. From tomorrow, she has 18 years of living to make up for”.Achilles rolled his eyes at his father. “If you will excuse us,
Seraphina’s body contorted and she thrashed around the bath as pearlescent scales began to replace her flawless olive skin. Seraphina’s body started to elongate and as she clambered out of the bath and threw herself onto the cold marble bathroom floor. Her back hunched painfully as wings began to sprout from her shoulder blades and a long, smooth, pointed tail replaced her perfect rear. Seraphina clutched at her jaw as she felt her sharp fangs replace her teeth, she caught sight of her hands morphing into silver claws and she screamed in panic only to her a low rumble.Seraphina collapsed back onto the ground in a heap and soon, she felt the pain begin to subside. “Seraphina....Seraphina, can you hear me my sweet flower?” The voice sounded far away, as though she was hearing it through a tunnel. Seraphina tried to concentrate o
Seraphina too was surprised, she had never even touched a man before Achilles yet, she was exploring him and tasting him as though it was second nature, it was like an instinct to pleasure her Prince. Suddenly, Achilles shot up and picked up Seraphina by her waist and brought her to his face, Seraphina wrapped her legs around his neck in response and a small cry escaped her mouth as he began to lap up the nectar that she was dripping for him. He slowly lowered her onto the bed, his lips not breaking contact with her sweet little flower and he proceeded to suck and lick her bud. Within seconds, stars danced across Seraphina’s vision as a wave of an orgasm came over her, she cried out loud and pushed her hips up to Achilles. He did not relent though, continuing to flick his tongue through her soft folds as her moan's continued.As Seraphina’
Seraphina and Achilles walked in a comfortable silence. Achilles tentatively watched Seraphina take in her surroundings, he was in awe as he watched her marvel in the delicate bird song that was floating through the air. His heart swelled as she closed her eyes and tilted her head up towards the sun, drinking it in. She sighed as she felt the warmth on her skin.“You are just perfect” her whispered to her as he leaned over and kissed her cheek. Seraphina smiled gently, “Achilles, I want to know about your life” Seraphina told him. “I’m not sure what to tell you my love, I’ve spent the majority of my life on the battlefront.” Achilles said solemnly. “Why do you insist on going to battle? From what your Mother said, it is not one of your duties as Prince but something you have volunteered to.”
Achilles stared into the direction Seraphina had flew off, he contemplated shifting and going after her but, he decided it was probably best to leave her to gather her thoughts. He knew her outburst was because her and her dragon’s personalities were morphing but, her words were the truth. He was wracked with guilt at having wasted time with other women. He always knew his past indiscretions could affect their relationship when he eventually found her but, knowing what she had endured, having to fight to keep her virginity. He felt disgusted with himself. Achilles didn’t know what to do to make amends, no number of apologies could change the past. He just wanted to make everything right and continue to start a life with Seraphina. He pulled himself out of the lake and returned to his room to dress, he needed to speak to someone, he needed advice and reassurance that he hadn’t lost Seraphina after only just finding her.
When Achilles arrived at his room, he saw Seraphina was nowhere to be seen, she was still avoiding him and he understood why. He sat on the chaise lounge at the foot of the bed and sighed with his head in his hands. It really was his intention to marry Seraphina, he picked out her engagement ring when he was 15. He had searched relentlessly for her but by the time he turned 18, he had lost all hope of ever finding her. Since then, he had spent the better part of 10 years whoring himself about.Achilles stood and walked to a chest of drawers in the corner of the room and open one, he took out a small leather box with a pearl on the clasp. He opened it and looked at the ring inside. It was a large pear cut diamond surrounded by small sapphires. The band was woven like a vine with small amethysts cushioned into it. The large diamond was Seraphina’s
Ethena titled her head as she spied Seraphina’s bare feet. Seraphina blushed “I have never worn shoes before, I tried a pair on when I was getting dressed, they were terribly uncomfortable, and I struggled to stand in them” she explained shyly. Ethena laughed and picked her dress up to reveal her feet which were also bare. “I share the same distain for shoes.” Seraphina joined in laughing with Ethena when she remembered her question from earlier. “Ethena, Achilles mentioned that you are very knowledgeable with familiars, I was wondering, do you know what my extra elemental mark is?” Ethena frowned “Truthfully, I hadn’t noticed it.” She moved towards Seraphina and leaned down to look at her marking. “I have never seen one like it before, actually, I can’t recall ever learning of anyone with anything other than earth, wind, air or fire markings.” Seraphina’s face fell sli
Seraphina looked around at the faces watching her expectantly. She felt a bead of sweat begin to from on her brow. “You want me to shift…now? Here?” she asked. “Yes! Of course, we do!” Aurelia shouted at her, her excitement brimming over. “Whilst it would be an honour to witness your dragon, only do so if you feel comfortable to.” Ethena told her sweetly. “Thank you, mother,” said Achilles, “Seraphina is not a show pony, you can just demand tricks from her!” Achilles shouted at his siblings and father who were all jumping up and down in their seats waiting to see the dragon. “It’s okay.” Seraphina said tentatively. “I do not mind however, it made me feel quite…trapped to shift indoors. Do you mind if we go to the gardens?” Seraphina hadn’t even finished her sentence before everyone started to rise from their seats.
