(King Władysław / Jerzy Ossolinski POV)
"Your Majesty, unfortunately we have not been able to sign between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Kingdom of England. The only thing we have obtained are several favorable trade agreements, which may result in an alliance in the future." (Jerzy Ossolinski)
"I am deeply disappointed... are there any reasons Charles I refused to form an alliance?" (King Władysław)
"There was no official reason, but not officially. Their priority is the colonies, we do not have a fleet, we are distant from each other, which strongly limits our possibilities of help and a high risk that we will involve the Kingdom of England in some war in the east or with the Ottomans. I must emphasize here that Hetman Jazłowiecki has shown a lot of help, these trade treaties are his merit... there is one more thing, Jazłowiecki married Karol's niece, Elisabeth." (Jerzy Ossolinski)
"He married? How? Jazłowiecki is a Catholic, and she is a staunch Protestant. I don't understand." (King Władysław)
"But Hetman is not a staunch Catholic, nowadays, apart from Prussia, Warsaw and Vilnius, most Protestants live in Podolia, mainly refugees from Bohemia. The Hetman did not force his wife to change her faith." (Jerzy Ossolinski)
"So you think it was a mistake on my part then?" (King Władysław)
"No, Queen Cecylia Renata is a wonderful woman and is loved by the nobility." (Jerzy Ossolinski)
"Water in the river... Sweden? What did Hetman say?" (King Władysław)
"No, Your Majesty. I tried to talk to Hetman on this subject several times, but I was not able to convince him, each time he refused to support the war with Sweden." (Jerzy Ossolinski)
"So we did not get anything I wanted... and this damned France. I don't know if you heard, but Jan Kazimierz was arrested in the Kingdom of France." (King Władysław)
"Yes, people talked about it in Gdańsk, and what is the reason for the arrest?" (Jerzy Ossolinski)
"Espionage for the Kingdom of Spain, you will have to go to Paris and speak to King Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelieu... but with no English on our side, our negotiating position will be weaker. Do you think the Pope's intervention would help?" (King Władysław)
"It certainly won't hurt, especially since the Urban VIII is pro-French." (Jerzy Ossolinski)
"Jazłowiecki has friends in the Papal State." (King Władysław)
"I will ask him, Your Majesty." (Jerzy Ossolinski)
(End POV)
After the meal at the inn, I took Elisabeth to the theater, I was very surprised by the number of spectators there, on the other hand, the amount of entertainment in the 17th century was very limited and even if the performances were repeated, the interest was still high. Fortunately, being the owner of the theater, I didn't have to worry about the lack of seats, I had my private box there.
"What is this play about? Who are these two girls?" (Elisabeth)
"This is a play based on one of the stories I wrote... these girls are sisters, the one with the dark hair is Balladyna, the one with the fair hair is Alina. Count Kirkor arrives at their home and falls in love with both sisters, to settle the dispute about which of them is to marry, Balladyna and Alina are to collect raspberries, and which of them gets more will become Kirkor's wife." (MC)
"I didn't know you were writing romantic stories, in Quo Vadis and the Teutonic Knights that I was reading there was a love thread, but it wasn't the main topic of the novel." (Elisabeth)
"This is not a romantic story, Balladyna kills her sister because she has collected more raspberries, then she marries the count, but then she betrays him and kills him with her lover, then she kills lover, and finally her mother." (MC)
It was a simplified version of Balladyna, but Elisabeth did not know Polish, and explaining to my wife who Goplana, Skierka, Polpiel III was would take too long.
The theatrical performance turned out to be a success, when at the end Balladyna is killed by lightning by God, the theater is filled with shouts of joy and applause... evil is finally punished, justice, though delayed, wins.
"How did you like it?" (MC)
"Interesting, but I have to learn some language... but besides that, the costumes and the moving scenery, something beautiful." (Elisabeth)
"I'm glad you liked it. The servant has probably already prepared the rooms so we can go back to the palace." (MC)
Less than an hour later we were there. I immediately instructed the servants to prepare something light for dinner and two baths, one for me and one for Elisabeth... even though we had been married for a few weeks, today was our wedding night. I wasn't expecting fireworks, my wife was a virgin, so all she could do was spread her legs... so I'm going to have to work for both of us today... stupid virgins.
Right after the bath I went to our bedroom, Elisabeth was already waiting there, she was lying in bed, more wrapped than Egyptian mummies... it will be a tough night. I went to the table and poured us both wine.
"I guess you're nervous, but you don't need to worry. People have been doing this for thousands of years, it's completely natural." (MC)
"I know, my mother and governesses made me and my sisters aware of these things." (Elisabeth)
Lovely... it's like a color blind person would teach a blind person about colors.
"I understand, the easiest way is to trust me and let me lead you. Slowly, without rushing..." (MC)
Elisabeth nodded.
"To make you feel better, I will put out a few candles, and you can reveal yourself a little." (MC)
After putting out a few candles, the bedroom became dim... I took off my clothes and went to the bed and sat on its edge.
"Trust me." (MC)
Slowly I slipped my hand under the bedspread and started stroking Elisabeth's calf... at the first touch she shuddered a little, but almost immediately calmed down.
After a few minutes of caressing her calf, my hand went to her thighs, I expected her to react nervously again, but this time it was different, and her reaction made me understand that she was ready for more.
I don't know how much time has passed, but I decided to heat up the atmosphere a bit... I asked Elisabeth to get up, I sat down behind her and embraced her. With my hand, I brushed her hair to one side, revealing her neck, which I slowly began to kiss.
I could feel the taste of her skin in my mouth, and her scent filled my nostrils. I ran my tongue down her neck. Elisabeth's body was tense and her breathing was getting deeper and faster, no one had ever touched or caressed her in such a way... and these sensations were completely new to her and her body. I slowly moved my hand over her chest, my wife was not as flat as a board, but she had nothing to brag about either... size B... large B... a soft moan escaped from Elizabeth's mouth as I began to caress her nipples... I ran my finger around them, pinched them gently.
At the same time, my lips and tongue caressed her ears, neck and shoulders.
"You're ready?" (MC)
I whispered in her ear... but again, she said nothing, just nodded.
She lay down on her back with her hands covering her breasts... Elisabeth was shy and embarrassed, but also a little excited. However, oral sex could freak her out, so this time I decided to give up writing the alphabet with the tongue on her pussy.
Instead, I started kissing and licking her belly... and then her breasts.
"Embrace me" (MC)
Elisabeth threw her arms around my shoulders... that's not what I meant, but my fault because I wasn't more specific.
"Put your legs around me." (MC)
"I can't, I don't know how ..." (Elisabeth)
"Don't worry, I will help you... the first time may hurt a bit, I will do it slowly, but if something goes wrong say it." (MC)
Slowly... very slowly my penis entered Elisabeth's pussy, it was tight, warm and moist.
