Chapter 4: Concubine

A few days after the selection process a grandiose wedding was held with Lilith as the metaphorical centerpiece. Her skill in etiquette had shown to be better than Daniel had hoped and she seemed like a social butterfly.

After the wedding, Daniel focused on where the orc horde currently was. By the estimates of his court members, it will take two months before they make it to Hartfrith. He walked over to a maid.

"Take me to Emily." He said. The maid nodded and did as she was told. After a bit of walking, they reached a door and the maid opened it. Inside was Emily, whose clothes were currently being changed by a couple of maids. "Leave her as she is, I wish to speak with her privately." Daniel said. The maids turned to Daniel and bowed, then left.

He entered the room and closed the door behind him. The woman before him, who was clearly embarrassed, tried to cover up a bit with the dress which was just taken off of her moments ago.

"Don't worry about covering up." Daniel said as he approached her.

"Y-yes, your majesty..." She said quietly as she slowly moved the dress from in front of her, revealing her breasts and pink nipples as well as her vaginal area. Daniel sat on the edge of her bed and motioned for her to come over.

She walked over and sat next to him. "So, my strategists estimate we have two months to prepare, what do you think?" Daniel asked.

"About... The orc horde?" She asked.

"Yes." He said.

"I don't have much information currently, but if I could have some, then I could see what I have to say." She said in a near mumble. Daniel nodded.

"Alright." He said as he turned his head to look at her. She fidgeted nervously, clearly unsure as to what will happen next. Daniel put his hand on her breast and she gasped in surprise. He squeezed the breast, then began to fondle her as he moved behind her.

He kissed her neck as he moved his other hand down towards her vagina and fondled her breasts. He began to rub her opening lightly as he heard her breath quicken by a small amount. After a few moments of rubbing, he slowly inserted his index finger into her and heard a slight moan.

He moved his finger out, then back in, repeatedly in a slow, drawn-out motion. After a few repetitions, his middle finger joined the cycle of in and out and pleasured the woman. After a few moments, he stood up. "Lay your upper body on the bed." He said as he undid his pants.

She did as she was told, presenting her vagina for penetration. Daniel brought his member to her entrance and rubbed on her vagina with it for a moment, then slowly inserted his tip into the slit. As he entered, she gasped, uncertain as to whether it was pleasurable or hurt.

He continued to go deeper, pushing more of his shaft into her at a slow pace, causing her to clench her lower muscles and moan as she realized she felt good. Slowly, Daniel pulled back until only the tip was in, then quickly rammed all of himself into her, causing a loud surprised moan.

He quickly moved out, then in, then out, then in, repeatedly, causing gasps and moans to escape from her mouth as he played with her breasts and fucked her. After a few moments of railing her, he could feel her vaginal muscles convulse as she reached her climax.

As she climaxed, Daniel moved faster causing many fast, out-of-breath moans to leave Emily's mouth. Daniel kissed her, muffling her moans, as he continued at his current speed and massaged her left breast.

Soon, Daniel felt himself reaching his limit and retracted from her face, and placed his hands on her hips as he moved a bit faster. Quickly, he came and shot his load into her, causing her to cum a second time.

He pulled out, then put his pants back on. "Remember to check on the information." Daniel said as he walked to the door and exited the room. After he left, the maids reentered the room and dressed Emily.

Daniel stretched as he walked down the hallway. 'Alright, she should be working on that, so I can tend to other matters. Firstly, I'm a new king, so people are uncertain as to whether or not I can maintain the power of the throne. I may have displayed a grand show during my coronation, but that only does so much. Although the trust and loyalty of all the nobility are important, the loyalty of the citizenry is even more important... So much fucking work...' He thought to himself as he continued walking.

He sighed as he looked down. 'Ultimately, power is nothing more than a facade-' He thought as he interrupted himself. 'A play that goes on forever where even the slightest mistake could break the barrier between fiction and reality. It's a dangerous show to watch, and one you must take great care to perform.' He thought as he focused his eyes forward.

'This isn't to say that the influence that power gives is fake, quite the opposite, after all, if people are immersed in a show, the show is just as real as the chair they are sat in, even if only for a few moments. The show before them influences their thoughts and actions.' He thought as he stopped by a window.

He looked with sharp eyes at the land which he controls. A lush garden with an abundance of plant life. For a moment, he could see what would occur if he failed- A burning ground filled with the bodies of the once-living.

Orcs searching for the survivors, prepared to bash their heads in. Though the thought lasted for nothing more than a moment, it sent chills down his spine.

'Why do I care so much about this virtual world? I'm being stupid.' He thought as he smiled lightly and shook his head lightly. He continued walking down the hall. After a few moments, he reached his door, then logged off.

After coming back to reality, he took off the headset and found Ashley sitting in a chair next to him drinking tea and reading a book with analytical eyes, as if she were analyzing every word and lost in the task she is performing. "Am I still in the game?" He mumbled.

As Ashley heard him, her focus was broken and she flinched as a light seemed to grow in her eyes, and she smiled warmly as she turned to look at him. "Did you have a nice nap?" She asked happily. Mildly taken aback, Daniel hesitated to respond. "Did you have a strange dream?" She asked, to which Daniel flinched.

"Something like that." He said. 'What was with the look in her eyes before? More than that, why did it seem like she purposefully changed her demeanor?' He wondered as he tried to solidify the reality around him.

"It seems like something is bothering you..." She said as she began to think. "Oh! Did you want some tea as well?" She asked with an almost radiant expression.

"Um, yeah, that sounds good." He said as he drifted into thought.

"Okay, I'll get you some!" She said with a glowing smile as she placed her mug of tea down on the nightstand next to her then stood up and closed her book.

'Since when did she read such large books?' He wondered as she happily left the room. A few moments later, Ashley came back with a mug of tea, but without the book, which she was reading. "What were you reading?" He asked.

"Nothing important!" She said warmly as she tilted her head slightly and handed him the tea. Daniel took the tea as he nodded lightly."Ah, Daniel, when are you going to get a girlfriend?" Ashley asked innocently as Daniel took a sip of tea which he almost immediately spat out.

"That is... I have no clue..." He said as his expression sunk.

"Well, don't worry about it! Any girl you choose would be lucky!" She said warmly.

"I'm grateful for that and all, but it sounds strange coming from you." Daniel said lightly as he sighed. Ashley giggled.

"Well, I should get going, I'm gonna meet with some friends!" She said happily as she grabbed her tea "Bye-bye!" She said with one last radiant expression before leaving.

'Maybe I was just overanalyzing earlier because of that game...' He thought to himself as he smiled gently. 'Wait,' He thought as he came to a realization, 'it's the middle of the night. And she just said she was leaving the house.' He thought to himself as he jumped out of bed and placed his tea on his nightstand.

Upon exiting his room, he could not see Ashley, he checked her room but did not find her, so he went downstairs and exited the house, and began searching for her. 'And this is how terrible of a brother I am... That game really messes with my perception of reality and time.' He thought to himself as he looked around the house.

As he was going back to the front yard, he noticed a limo that had parked in front of his house. As the door opened, he hid on the side of the house and peeked around the corner. He saw Ashley exit from it. Her eyes seemed cold and analytical, devoid of emotion. Her face is still, motionless, and devoid of her usual warm and gentle demeanor. She turned back to face the limo.

"I don't care what your excuses are, make sure it doesn't happen again." She said with a cold and monotone voice. He could hear some voices from inside the car but he was unable to make out what they were saying. "I. Don't. Give. A. Fuck. Leave before I make sure little shits like you can't." She said harshly with a glare as she closed the door.

'What?' Daniel thought to himself as a sense of shock swelled in his mind and the limo drove off. Ashley turned around and sighed as she closed her eyes. She stretched a bit, then raised her head and opened her eyes. Within a second, her eyes focused on Daniel, who is not hidden well and seems frozen in shock.

"Shit." She said.
