"To start Princess Orion, I am so sorry about your brother, princess, thats not easy to lose some one you love. Losing Theo's mother was hard on all of us and the kingdom. They loved her. Far more than they loved me" the king joked.
"My hope there wasn't too much trouble on the road, you guys are a day later than expected." The king said, "son, would you like to enlighten your king on what delayed you?"
"Yes, my king, the town we first stepped had some traitors who attempted to harm the princess, they were handled." Theo responded coldly.
I cant believe Theo was talking to his father like this. If I had that tone with my mother she'd tie tongue for a week with her magic.
"How were they handled?" The king sounded skeptical.
"I cut their hands off for touching my bride and then their heads because treason is a crime punishable by death. I then stuck their heads on spikes in front of their town hall as a reminder of what we do to traitors in The Sun Elf Clan territory."
"Well that seems fair enough, you didn't burn any of the buildings. I'm impressed." Said the king.
"No but can't speak for the next town that tries that again."
"I would sure hope" The king leaving the subject of violence alone.
"Now my princess, I hope you weren't to injured?" The king asked me.
"Oh, no, your grace, I just needed some sleep it was more a shock I let someone get the better of me than anything. My brother Oleander I very disappointed in me and will definitely give me a good beating in our next training session." I laughter it off a bit.
"Well Princess Orion, I would like to welcome you to the Sun Clan formally and will enjoy your time here with us and look forward to hearing about your plans" The king said to me
"now go along and unpack and settle in for the night. There's a market event tomorrow for the lunar eclipse later in the night. I can assume I will see you both in attendance?"
Seeming more like a demand than a request Theo responded "Yes my king we plan to attend the day and the nights festivities."
And with that being the last of it the king granted us permission to leave and Theo and I head to his room.
Which apparently was at the complete opposite end of the freaking palace.
"Your home is beautiful!" I said to him looking around the palace walls at the art that hung there. They were all shades of yellow and orange and red. Flowers on some, landscapes on others. They were truly magnificent works of art.
"It's honestly nowhere near as beautiful as yours. All the white it glowed like diamonds in your home." Theo argued.
"You're not wrong, my home is beautiful, especially seeing it for the first time. But I've never been to another lands palace."
"Really not even the Moon Clan?" Theo asked surprised.
"Nope, there's a guest house and during the time of the long moon we would go and visit. But never the capital palace."
"That's wild. Why?" He asked.
"Because when I was smaller I got into things. Like a lot. I was ill mannered and ill tempered. So from the outside it was my behavior. But in reality its because I'm the princess."
"But I thought the High Elves didn't really have gender rules like that?" He was really confused now I could tell.
"Since the war a king hasn't had a daughter. All the High Elf royal women are married in. I was a different kind of special. I was over protected, which granted if I didn't have someone watching me 24 hours a day, I was in something I shouldn't have been." I have never really had to explain this before I didn't
even know where to truly begin "I'm also the baby so my siblings have always been really extra with me. There had been a few attempts to even kidnap me during a putting to the Moon Clan. So places my family didn't have enough domain in, I wasn't permitted."
I looked down sadly at my hands "I never got to go and see places and do things like my brothers and everyone else. I get to go to all the things we host, but yeah, its just how things were. It's probably why I was able to get away with so much was because they knew I was also trapped and felt guilty. I've never asked, maybe I should." Laughing off my own self pity.
"That's really stupid." He said, his brows frowned "I will never hide you or hold you back."
He stepped closer to me and said. "But I'll tie you down".
Grabbing me and tossing me onto his bed he crawls on top me. My hands dive into his hair, as he kisses my neck. Giving me a big deep kiss and then he pulls back. He heads over to his curtains and pulls the rope off them. He comes over, takes off my vest and shirt and ties me up! Putting my hands together above my head. Completely at his mercy. He takes
my boots off. And pulls down my pants. Climbing on the bed he slides his finger into me. Moving it around inside, he finds that special spot and starts playing with it. Leaning over her starts sucking on the tips my breast. Playing with my nipples with his tongue. The sensation made me arch my back and a moan escapes my mouth. He felt so good, and I knew I could never get enough of him. I felt my orgasm build, the rising intensity making my body jerk, I bite my lip trying not to scream as I climax. His fingers soaked he slowly pulls them out and starts sucking on them.
"You are the best thing I've ever tasted."

That night we slept great, it had been so long since we both slept in a comfortable bed, together.
Today was the lunar eclipse festival.
"If the sun elves dislike the moon elves so much why do they celebrate the moon cycle?"
"It's also about the sun you know" Theo answer with a sly smiler "not everything is about moon and high elves you know?" Laughing because he was teasing me.
We got ready for the days activities. I was wearing a baby blue silk gown simple, with a square neckline coming to the top of my breasts, it hugged my chest and upper hips, but became loose at just under the top of my butt. It had an open back that went to the middle. The sleeves were long and clung to me. I wore a gold belt with a sun on it and
white stone crystal in the middle. I strapped my dagger to my thigh. And slipped on some soft gold colored sandals. I turn and Theo is walking toward me. His hair messy as always, he wore a dark blue vest and white shirt. His
pants were black and so were his boots. He had his sword on his hip his sheath and belt black and gold. In his hands was a crown.
"This is my mothers crown, before she was crowned queen. Believe it or not its my mother that was born to the previous king."
The crown was gold and small it sat on my head like a tiara, it had gold chains hang in loops off the side over my hair. The tiara had a white diamond in the middle of a setting sun.
"It's beautiful Theo thank you, I love it." I said looking up to him teary eyed.
"Let's get a move on to things we're expected." Theo said. I could feel his venousness.
O: whats wrong? You look nervous.
T: Yeah, I just hope my people don't do anything stupid.

Theo and Orion make their way to the central
market. There's streamers and decorations lining the street as they walk. They turned down the chance to ride a horse because they wanted to seem closer to common people.
The air filled with the sweet sent of flowers and treats. Orion could smell cinnamon a mile a way, quickly making her way to the stall that would have that located. Dragging Theo a long, she was on a mission. Finding the stall, she found they had cinnamon sugar fried dough sticks. "I'll take two of this please!"
The man frowned when he looked up seeing my white hair. Theo walks up behind me, and shock washed over his face.
"Your graces' that's 20 coppers." Bowing his head low.
I hand him a silver instead. "Thank you".
We continue walking now hand in hand I
take in my surroundings. The vendors were dressed in flowing garments of quality cotton and satin. It was diverse offering so many different things: dresses and shirts made of silk and velvet, leather shoes, gems and fine jewelry that sparkle in the sunlight. The market was clearly a place full of activity.
"Wow Theo! The market is amazing! The colors of things here are so different." I yell jumping from stall to stall, practically dragging him.
I stop at shop with beautiful dresses outside made with lace. "Oh my gods, that's lace!" Rushing over to touch it "we don't often have lace, not many of our weavers know how to do lace and we don't have steady trade with merchants like that, because its not common fashion amount my people. EEP I'm so excited!"
I dash inside quickly begging to grace the different lace garments. I settle on this beautiful red lace and satin dress. The lace the shape of the sun ran up the neck, down the shoulders and across the chest down the back. Threads of gold weaved into the lace. The top that covered my chest was satin and wrapped around my chest. Lace then wraps
around the waste with a silk skirt that had two slits on the front of each thigh. It was one of the most beautiful designs I've ever seen.
"Theo I have to have this dress and I have to wear it tonight for the festival." I saw him staring over my shoulder at the dress.
"Please let me see you in this dress." He responded I could see his sly grin.
O: you pervert
T: you have no idea little bunny.
We walk over to the woman at the counter.
"The red lace dress, I would like to try it please, is there something in my size?"
"Oh, blessed be the gods! There's royalty in my shop!" Screamed the lady from behind the counter. She bows low and then looks at Theo and I.
