Her presence easily dominated the tavern. She was one of the most respected adventurers in all the land.
But little did she know she would soon become famous for another reason: her undies. She would unknowingly start the 'panty revolution' that challenged the status quo: she would be the pioneer of adventuring with your pants on the ground.
She had already popularized the high-cut briefs as the go-to underwear for female adventures. Soon, she would popularize showing them in public.
And it all started with a petty rivalry with another woman for the love of her life.
Ellustrya Windrider ruled over Fordonia, a tropical forest realm, and was the Princess of the Elder Dark Elves.
She had silvery-blue hair, pointy ears, and sapphire eyes. Her attire exuded power, featuring form-fitting black riding breeches with gold trim, a blue sash, and a crimson military-style jacket with gold embellishments.
She was a tall and stunning woman with a flawless hourglass figure and a charismatic face. Her majestic dark purple cloak with a red interior, adorned with a golden brooch, completed her regal look.
But the plucky, carefree, blonde young woman adventurer nipping at her heels starkly contrasted her. A beautiful woman in her own right, Celdine Goldenstar was an errant an misbehaving gal, and she loved nothing more than to get under Ellustrya Windrider's skin.
"Ya think you're better than everyone else, ya snob?" The rather inebriated young lady said, wrapped in a yellow adventurer's garb with black leggings. "Look at all that fancy gear you're flaunting!"
The Princess of the Dark Elves simply furrowed her brow, and placed her hand on her forehead, sighing in disbelief.
"Miss Goldenstar, I think you need to show more restraint," she murmured whilst trying to maintain a tone of dignity. "This is most unbecoming, even for you."
"You lookin' down on me, Elustry?" the golden haired woman declared with confidence. "Ya elves are all such killjoys! Prim, proper, conservative prudes!"
"It is unwise to speak of my people in such a disparaging manner," Ellustrya retorted, her tone deadly serious. "We elves have an everlasting, deathless solidarity with each other, and we will not countenance such slander from a mere human woman of such poor taste and etiquette."
"Well, what I wanna know is what you got on underneath those tight jodhpurs of yours," Celdine said daringly, with a mischievous grin on her face.
"I beg your pardon?" Ellustrya retorted incredulously, clearly offended.
"I bet you're wearing granny panties!"
"Are you trying to provoke me by making jibes about my knickers?"
"Knickers!" Celdine burst out laughing. "Who says that anymore? You really are old-fashioned!"
"As if you would know anything about class, Miss Goldenstar."
"Then why don't you show me?" Celdine declared, intrepidly challenging the tall, lofty Dark Elf whom towered above her. "Drop your pants, and let's see what ya got on underneath! I double dare ya!"
The imposing Dark Elf royalty was at a complete loss for words. Never had someone challenged her to do something so scandalous in public. If she followed through with Celdine's dare, she would be a laughing stock if word of it got out, and her own people may very well disavow her. But if she backed down, it would be a great dishonor.
"I respectfully decline," Ellustrya answered, closing one eye and wearing a sligh scowl on her face. "Ladies should not act so indecently whilst in public."
"I can't believe Boldy hangs out with someone as boring as you," Celdine quipped. "He deserves a lady who knows how to give him a good time!"
"Boldasarre Ravenshade would never stoop so low as to give a lady without class, such as yourself, the time of day." Ellustrya fired back. "And I'm not boring!"
"Let's play a little game then, to find out who really is the lady with class!"
"I am not someone who will walk away from a challenge."
"Put your money where your mouth is, then! Winner gets to spend an entire day with Boldy!"
"Keep his name out of your mouth, you uncouth wench. I will do what I must to protect his chastity."
"So, are you up for it, then? Winner gets Boldy all to themselves, and can do what they like with him! Loser has to do something… humiliating."
"Do you think that frightens me, girl?" Ellsutrya announced fearlessly. "Protecting Boldasarre from cloddish trollops is my sworn duty."
"Are you sure?" Celdine jested. "You can't walk away from this one you're in."
"I will soundly see you off, and you will never trouble Boldasarre ever again." Ellustrya had an unwavering and serious look of firmness on her face.
"Poor thing," Celdine said with a smirk splitting her face, "you got no idea what you're getting yourself into!"
"Just get to the point already! I said I won't back down." Ellustrya said as her patience finally sounded like it was wearing thin.
"'Kay then, don't say I didn't warn you." Celdine said with glee, confident that she had outmaneuvered Ellustrya. "The rules of the game are simple: we go for a little adventure, but there's a twist…"
"Whatever trump card you think you have, I will gladly face it down."
"We both have to drop our pants for the entire quest, and the first to pull up their pants, loses!"
"This conversation has ended." Ellustrya said as she turned to leave.
"Oh, are you havin' second thoughts, Your Highness? Did I not mention there would be a penalty for dropin' out?"
"I will endure whatever penalty I must in order to protect my honor."
"If you leave, you forfeit the game, and you lose by default! And if you lose… you have to do a dance-off in public… with your pants down!"
Ellustrya's lovely dark complexion suddenly turned pale.
"That would be a fate worse than death."
"Well?" Celdine asked, smiling sweetly. "Ya still runnin' away? Guess the color of your panties are yellow, then!"
"Celdine, this is your final warning. Even if I must risk complete humiliation, I will not be cowed by a simple girl with alcohol for brains."
"You think I'm afraid of you, ya little princess in your ivory tower?"
Ellustrya closed her eyes as if in a trance, sighing in exasperation. She placed her hand on her face and shook her head in vexation. She had already committed to take Celdine head-on, and she wasn't going to turn away with her tail between her legs. Her honor would be in tatters.
One could be forgiven for mistaking Ellustrya's reddened face for fluster, but she was in fact infuriated. Celdine's line about her being in an ivory tower had gotten to her, no matter how much she tried to conceal it. She decided that no matter how ridiculous Cledine's bet was, she had to win it - for sake of her honor, and for the sake of Boldasarre's chasteness.
She had the strongest conviction that Boldasarre was the reincarnation of her long dead husband, and she was not going let some boorish adventurer steal him away. She and Boldasarre were to be reunited by destiny. She must face whatever adversity, no matter what.
"So be it," Ellustrya murmured, her voice bereft of any warmth. "I will indulge in your ridiculous antics."
Celdine's smile split her face in two. "So, Ellustrya, let's see what you got on under those breeches. Drop your pants!"
"What!?"
"Don't worry, I'll drop mine as well. We'll both embark on this adventure together… with our pants down!"
Ellustrya sighed as if all her dignity had all been washed away by a flash flood. "Very well…"
Her hands timidly reached for her belt, hovering over her hip flares with golden embroidery. They went above her fly and towards the buckle of her belt. She removed the silver prong from the punch holes, slid the strap through the frame, and let the tips of her belt the dangle from the waistband.
Her hands then reached deftly for her fall front, undid them, and let the inner facings fold outwards, revealing the coppery skin of her thighs. A brilliant, shimmering triagonal white fabric poked out between the flaps. The breeches slide to her ankles, revealing her bare, shapely legs.
The princess was clad in dazzling white high-cut, full-back briefs. They contrasted with the dark tone of her skin of her now exposed thighs. The leg holes formed arches around her hips, leaving them almost completely uncovered. The outer hems of the leg holes curved around her buttocks gracefully.
Even Celdine was taken aback by how good the princess looked in her white knickers.
"Nice panties, Ellustry!" Celdine exclaimed. "And you kept these covered up?"
"I… I take pride in my knickers!" Ellustrya said proudly. "I wear them with honor. Oh Boldasarre, you were meant to be the first to see these…"
"Boldy is one lucky guy!" She carefully surveyed the undergarments, looking the way they accentuated her hips, thighs and buttocks. Her already elongated legs looked even longer.
"Not, bad, not bad at all!" Cledine admitted. "You've got some killer legs on you, Ellustry. But your panties are no match for mine!"
With a quick motion, Celdine dropped her own trousers to the ground, revealing a pair of colorful briefs that were far less subtle. They too were high cut, just like Ellustrya's, but were made more utilitarian for adventurers, made with pure cotton fabric that hugged her shapely posterior snugly. They were also dyed in pink, making them stand out in comparison to the more subdued royal garments.
"Well, well," she said, laughing. "I didn't think you'd actually do it! Look at you, Ellustrya—parading around in your panties like a common girl."
The princess scowled. "Are you going to make fun of me all day? Or are we actually going to start this bet?"
"Oh, I'm just getting started."
Ellustrya rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Let's just get this over with."
The two women began walking away from each other, their trousers still at their ankles. As they headed in opposite directions, their hips swayed gently, their legs brushing against each other.
"Don't get caught in your undies, now, Princess!" Celdine bellowed defiatntly.
Ellustrya held her head high, her silver-blue hair catching in the breeze. "Knickers, Celdine," she corrected, her tone sharp. "The word is knickers. And I don't intend to lose this bet, no matter how ridiculous it may be
.Celdine laughed, her voice echoing through the forest. "Oh, Princess... you've got a lot to learn about me."
The two of them strode off into the woods, their bare legs and panties on display for all to see.
Boldasarre was already waiting for them in the clearing, oblivious to the whole affair.
The wind sent a shiver over Ellustrya's bare legs, and she was keenly aware of the cool air brushing against the exposed skin of her hips, where her knickers' high-cut apertures left little to the imagination. Still, she refused to let any hint of discomfort show. If this was a battle of wills, she would see it through.
Celdine, on the other hand, had no such inhibitions. Her cheeks were flushed with excitement as she approached Boldasarre, her steps quick and eager, her eyes fixed on him. She couldn't keep from grinning, nor could she keep from stealing glances at the princess.
"Hey, Boldy!" Celdine exclaimed, sidling up next to him. "How're you doing? You miss me?"
Ellustrya scoffed. "Really? 'Boldy?' I suppose you expect me to call you 'Celdy.'"
"Oh, shut up, Princess," Celdine snapped, shooting a glare at her rival. "He's not your property, you know."
"No, he's my subject, as are you," Ellustrya replied, her voice cold. "And as his queen, it is my duty to look after him."
Celdine rolled her eyes, but said nothing, choosing instead to focus on the boy standing before her.
"So, Boldy," Celdine purred, resting a hand on his muscular shoulder. "How about you and me go somewhere... private?"
Ellustrya's ears perked up, and she stepped forward, her brow furrowed. "Private? Whatever do you mean by that?"
Celdine flashed a smile. "Well, you know... just the two of us. Alone together."
"And what, precisely, are you planning on doing with him?"
"He clearly likes my panties the best, don't you, Boldy?!"
"Knickers, Celdine! It's knickers! And I do not appreciate you attempting to steal what is rightfully mine!"
"Whatever," Celdine scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Like it matters. Anyway, you're just jealous that he likes me more than you."
Boldasarre was aghast and speechless at the absurdity of the situation presented before him. Two beautiful maidens, in the woods, with their pants down, flashing their underwear He didn't know who to choose! They were both so beautiful, and they both clearly wanted his attention.
He shook his head. This was insane! This was madness! What sort of world was this?!
"So Boldy, who wears the "knickers" better? Me, or that White Panty Princess over there?"
"Well, I—" he stuttered.
"Don't answer that," Ellustrya interjected, stepping between them and giving him a hard look. "This is not a contest. You are my subject, and you will obey me."
Celdine laughed. "Oh, really? You think you can control him? You're a fool. He wants me, not you. He can't take his eyes off my undies!"
Boldasarre shook his head again, trying to make sense of what he was witnessing. He couldn't believe this was happening.
Ellustrya's face turned a shade of crimson, and she opened her mouth to reply, but stopped herself, exhaling sharply.
Celdine, of course, didn't stop there. "Oh, come on, Ellustrya! Don't look so serious. It's just a bit of fun. We'll be crawling through the woods with our undies on display for a while—might as well enjoy it!" She laughed as she adjusted her lilac briefs, clearly unfazed by the exposure.
Ellustrya's jaw clenched slightly. "If you insist on making a spectacle of yourself, that is your prerogative. I, however, will maintain my dignity."
"Dignity?" Celdine scoffed. "You're standing there in your knickers, dear. That ship has sailed."
The Dark Elf Princess narrowed her eyes. "Do not presume to tell me about dignity, Celdine. You have no idea what it means to be royalty."
Celdine shrugged.
Boldasarre, for his part, was trying his very best not to stare, but the sight of both women in their undergarments was more than a little distracting. He cleared his throat, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "Are you two... really going through with this?"
Ellustrya shot him a look. "We're already in it, Boldasarre. I suggest you prepare yourself."
With that, she turned and began marching through the woods, her bare legs exposed to the elements. The cool air nipped at her skin, but she didn't flinch, nor did she slow down. She refused to give Celdine the satisfaction of seeing her falter.
Boldasarre sighed. This was going to be a long day.
***
Ellustrya felt like she was on fire. Her heart was pounding, her blood was boiling, and her ears were burning with embarrassment and shame. This was humiliating, she thought to herself, as she trudged through the forest with her pants still around her ankles.
Celdine, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying herself. The adventurer was practically skipping through the forest, her bare legs and colorful panties on full display.
"How are you doing, Ellusty?" she called out, smirking at the other woman. "Enjoying the view?"
Ellustrya glared at her, but said nothing, choosing instead to keep walking.
"I'm sure Boldy is," Celdine continued, her voice taunting. "He can't stop staring at my ass, can you, Boldy?"
Boldasarre blushed, averting his gaze. "I—no, I mean, uh..."
Celdine laughed. "It's okay, Boldy. I know you like what you see. But don't worry—I'm sure Princess Granny Panties over here will let you stare at her boring old panties all day when we win the bet."
Ellustrya's ears perked up at that. "My knickers are fit for a Queen, thank you very much."
"Whatever," Celdine said, rolling her eyes. "They're still boring."
The princess huffed in annoyance, but she kept her mouth shut. She had no interest in engaging in another pointless argument with Celdine.
And so, the two women stood there, trousers around their ankles, knickers fully on display, each waiting for the other to crack first. Ellustrya, with her gleaming white undergarments contrasting sharply against her dark skin, stood with a regal posture that belied the absurdity of the situation. Celdine, with her colorful briefs and carefree attitude, clearly reveled in the ridiculousness.
As the minutes ticked by, however, it became apparent that neither woman was willing to concede defeat.
Boldasarre sighed, shaking his head in disbelief. This was going to be a long day.
"Remember," Celdine said with a wink, "whoever pulls their trousers up first loses. And when I win, Boldasarre, you're mine for the day."
"In your dreams," Ellustrya replied coolly. "When I win, Boldasarre will be accompanying me, and only me, for the rest of our journey. Boldasarre is—"
"Oh, I know," Celdine interrupted, laughing. "He's your Panty Prince, right?"
Ellustrya blushed furiously at the mention of her embarrassing nickname for Boldasarre. She cleared her throat, trying to regain her composure.
Ellustrya flushed deeper. "That is not what I said!"
The bet had begun. The only question now was: how far would they go to win?
As the two women stood there, trousers around their ankles, the absurdity of the situation began to sink in. Ellustrya, ever the picture of regal composure, tried to maintain her dignity despite the fact that her gleaming white panties inked in the light of the midday sun.
Celdine, on the other hand, seemed to be thoroughly enjoying herself. Her colorful briefs were bright against her pale skin, and her carefree attitude was evident in every movement she made.
"Well, this is certainly a new way to start an adventure," Celdine said, grinning as she adjusted her briefs. "I have to say, Ellustrya, I didn't think you had it in you."
Ellustrya glared at her. "This isn't some game, Celdine. I'm doing what needs to be done to ensure that we succeed in our mission."
"Right," Celdine replied, rolling her eyes. "Prancing around in your panties. Because that's so noble and important."
"It's a test of willpower," Ellustrya said through gritted teeth. "And I'm going to win."
"We'll see about that."
Boldasarre, who had been trying his best not to stare, finally spoke up. "Are you two really going to go through with this? We have a mission to complete, you know."
"Yes," Ellustrya said, her voice firm. "And I will see it through to the end, no matter what."
Celdine shrugged. "Sure, whatever. I'm just here for the fun."
As the two women stared each other down, the breeze picked up, sending a shiver down Ellustrya's bare legs. She was acutely aware of how exposed she was, her high-cut briefs leaving little to the imagination. Still, she refused to let any hint of discomfort show on her face. If this was a battle of wills, she would see it through to the end.
Celdine, on the other hand, seemed completely at ease, despite the fact that her brightly patterned briefs were on full display. She stretched, her movements deliberately exaggerated. "Well, shall we get moving? We've got a lot of ground to cover, you know."
"Of course," Ellustrya replied coolly. "Let's go."
The two women began walking, their trousers still around their ankles, clad in only their panties from the waist down.
And so, with a determined set to their shoulders, the two women began to walk, the breeze causing their bottoms to flutter against their skin. It was undeniably odd, but the pair soldiered on, refusing to back down.
Boldasarre followed behind, trying his best to keep his eyes on the path ahead and not on the two pairs of knickers that were now his constant companions.
As they walked, Ellustrya couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. This was not how she had imagined this adventure going. She was a princess, after all, not some common girl to be parading around in her undergarments. And yet, here she was, her gleaming white knickers on display for all the world to see.
Celdine, of course, seemed to be having the time of her life. She skipped ahead, her colorful briefs bouncing with each step. "Come on, slowpokes!" she called back, laughing. "We've got a bet to win!"
Ellustrya gritted her teeth and pressed on, determined not to let Celdine get the best of her. She would win this bet, no matter what it took. Even if it meant walking through the forest with her knickers on display for the rest of the day.
