Chapter 2 - The Great Bet Begins: Boldasarre's Dilemma

Ellustrya's trousers lay crumpled at her feet, exposing her long, bare legs to the cool breeze of the forest. Her gleaming white briefs, delicate, full-back and high-cut, accentuated her shapely figure, the fabric a striking contrast against her dark complexion. From the waist up, she remained the picture of royal composure, her tunic perfectly in place, her cloak resting elegantly over her shoulders. But from the waist down, her bare skin was on full display.

Celdine, on the other hand, seemed to be thoroughly enjoying herself. Her colorful briefs, cut to show off more of her pale skin, clung to her shapely bottom and rode up betEween her thighs, leaving little to the imagination.

Boldasarre, standing a few paces behind, tried desperately to avert his gaze, but his eyes kept betraying him. No matter how hard he focused on the path ahead or the trees around them, his attention kept drifting back to Ellustrya's legs—the way the cool air brushed against her exposed skin, the way her underwear clung to her buttocks, the way her knickers stretched across her hips as she walked.

The princess was doing her best to keep her emotions in check, but it was difficult when the breeze nipped at her bare skin and sent a shiver down her spine.

She felt a blush creeping across her cheeks, but she refused to let it show. She was a royal, after all, and she would not give Celdine the satisfaction of seeing her flustered.

As they made their way through the forest, Celdine began to hum a jaunty tune, seemingly oblivious to the embarrassment she was causing for her rival.

Ellustrya kept her head held high, trying to maintain some semblance of dignity despite the absurdity of the situation. Still, she couldn't help but wonder how Celdine could be so relaxed about parading around in her knickers.

Boldasarre, for his part, did his best to keep up, though it was hard not to stare at the two beautiful maidens in front of him, both of whom had their pants down. He felt a twinge of guilt, but it was difficult to deny that this was an incredible opportunity. He was, after all, in the company of two stunningly attractive women—both of whom were in their panties.

Celdine, ever the instigator, cackled from where she stood, hands on her hips, her colorful briefs exposed just as much as Ellustrya's knickers. "Oh come on, Ellustrya! Don't tease him too much. After all, we've both got our knickers on display today. Might as well enjoy it!"

Ellustrya sighed, running a hand through her silvery hair. "I just hope I don't get caught like this by anyone else," she murmured, her tone quieter now, as if admitting to some small vulnerability. She glanced down at her white undergarments, the high-cut apertures leaving much of her upper thighs and hips exposed. The breeze only reminded her of how exposed she was, her skin tingling with every gust.

Celdine smirked. "Yeah, I mean, what if you get caught? Imagine if some pervy bandit came along and saw you like this. You might have to defend yourself!"

The princess rolled her eyes. "I can handle myself, thank you very much."

"Can you, with your pants down, and undies in full view?"

"Of course," Ellustrya replied, her voice firm. "I am a royal, after all. I am not to be trifled with."

Boldasarre shook his head, unable to believe the conversation he was listening to.

Her voice softened as she turned her attention back to Boldasarre. "These were meant to be for your eyes only, Boldasarre."

Boldasarre's heart skipped a beat at her words, his mind racing as he tried to process what she had just said. "F-For my eyes?"

Ellustrya gave a small, almost imperceptible smile. "Yes, Boldasarre. Though I hadn't intended for you to see them under these circumstances."

Boldasarre blushed furiously, struggling to find the right words. "I... I don't know what to say. Thank you, Ellustrya."

Celdine laughed, shaking her head in disbelief.

Boldasarre swallowed hard, his throat dry. HHis eyes drifted back to her legs—her long, toned legs, bare and smooth, the white of her knickers accentuating every curve. He cursed himself silently, trying to focus on anything else, but it was no use. Ellustrya's presence—her beauty, her confidence, even in this ridiculous situation—was overwhelming.

"Enjoying the view?" Celdine teased, snapping him out of his trance. "I'm sure Boldy is!"

He looked up at her, his face flushed. "I—No! Of course not! I'm just..."

She raised an eyebrow. "Just what?"

"It's not like that."

"Oh, please," Celdine said, rolling her eyes. "I've seen the way you look at her. It's obvious you're smitten."

Ellustrya gave a small smile, clearly flattered by his attention. "It's alright, Boldasarre. I can't blame you for being distracted. These knickers are quite eye-catching, after all."

Celdine scoffed. "Eye-catching? More like eye-candy!"

Ellustrya smirked, her eyes fixed on Celdine. "Perhaps, but then again, so are yours."

The adventurer grinned, her hands resting on her hips as she struck a pose. "You're damn right they are! These colorful briefs are a sight for sore eyes, aren't they, Boldy?"

Boldasarre stammered again, flustered beyond words.

Celdine winked at him. "It's alright, Boldy. We know you can't resist our panties. That's why we're both going to win this bet!"

Ellustrya narrowed her eyes. "We'll see about that, Celdine. I am not one to lose so easily."

"Well, it looks like someone's panties are in a twist," the blonde said with a smirk. "But don't worry, Princess—I'll be sure to treat your boy toy right when I win."

"My panties are not in a twist! See!" She said, pointing to her shimmering white underthings. "They fit perfectly! And as for my Panty Prince, I will be the one to do the treating, thank you very much."

Boldasarre flushed at the mention of his nickname.

"Don't get flustered, Boldasarre. You've seen me in... compromised positions before."

He wasn't sure that was true. This seemed like one of the most... revealing moments they had ever shared. And yet, despite her current state, Ellustrya maintained her composure, her royal demeanor never faltering.

Celdine, on the other hand, was clearly enjoying herself. She laughed, shaking her head in amusement. "Compromised positions? What are you, a maiden? You mean you've never been caught in your undies before? I thought a princess would know how to keep herself composed."

Ellustrya's cheeks reddened, and she averted her gaze. "I... well, that is..."

"Oh, I'm sorry, did I embarrass you? Or are you just embarrassed about being caught in your undies?" Celdine teased.

"I am not embarrassed!" Ellustrya snapped, her ears flattening against her head. "I am merely... uncomfortable. That is all."

Celdine raised an eyebrow. "Oh, really? Is that why you're blushing?"

Ellustrya clenched her fists, struggling to maintain her composure. "I am not blushing. It is merely the heat of the day. Yes, it's quite warm out here, isn't it?"

Celdine snorted. "Sure, whatever you say, Princess. But ol'Boldy's definitely enjoying the view," she teased, stretching her arms as if the entire bet were just a game to her. "Aren't you, Boldy?"

Boldasarre coughed, his face burning. "I—well, I..."

"See? He's speechless," Celdine said, grinning. "You've got him tongue-tied, Ellusty."

Boldasarre sighed, trying to regain his composure. "I... I am simply trying to focus on our mission. We have a lot of ground to cover today."

Celdine chuckled. "Yeah, sure. Just keep telling yourself that, Boldy."

Ellustrya sighed. "He is correct. We should be making our way to the next destination as soon as possible. We've lost ground already due to restricted movement, due to our trousers being around our ankles."

"Yeah, yeah, I know. We have to make it there before sundown, right? Otherwise we'll never find it in the dark."

"Exactly," Ellustrya replied. "It's imperative we arrive before sunset. I would not want to be caught in these knickers at night."

Celdine grinned. "Oh? Are you scared, Princess? Why not pull up your pants, then?"

The Dark Elf princess shook her head, her silver-blue hair swaying gently. "No. I will not concede defeat. I will see this bet through to the end, no matter what."

"Even if the whole world see you in your panties? You'll be known as the Pants-Down Princess!"

"I will do what must be done. And if that means parading around in my knickers for an entire day, then so be it."

Celdine laughed. "Oh, please. You're not fooling anyone, Princess. We both know you're just afraid to admit defeat."

Ellustrya scoffed. "I am not afraid of anything. I am a royal, after all. I have nothing to be ashamed of."

Celdine rolled her eyes. "Sure, whatever you say. Let's get moving, then."

The two women began walking once more, their trousers still pooled around their ankles, their undergarments exposed to the elements.

Despite the absurdity of the situation, one thing was clear: Ellustrya, even while standing there with her trousers down and her underwear exposed, still managed to command his attention in every possible way.

Boldasarre sighed, shaking his head in disbelief. This was going to be a long day.

***

As the three of them made their way through the forest, Ellustrya couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She was acutely aware of the cool air brushing against her bare legs, the way her knickers clung to her skin, the way her tunic billowed in the breeze. She tried to remain stoic, but it was difficult.

Boldasarre tried his best to keep his eyes forward, but the sight of Ellustrya's long, dark legs and her pristine white knickers kept drawing his gaze.

Ellustrya, for her part, walked with her head held high, her aqua-silver hair cascading down her back. Despite the absurdity of the situation, she carried herself with the same regal grace as always. But Boldasarre couldn't help but notice the slight tension in her shoulders, the way her hand occasionally drifted to the hem of her tunic, as if wanting to pull it down further.

Celdine, on the other hand, seemed to revel in the attention. She sauntered along, her hips swaying, her colorful briefs catching the dappled sunlight that filtered through the trees. Every so often, she would glance back at Boldasarre, a mischievous grin on her face.

The wind picked up, sending a shiver down Ellustrya's bare legs. She gritted her teeth, fighting the urge to pull her trousers up.

"Aren't you cold, Ellusty?" Celdine asked, smirking. "You're practically shivering."

Ellustrya shook her head, determined to keep her composure. "I'm fine. The breeze just caught me off guard, that is all."

Celdine chuckled. "Yeah, sure. Whatever you say."

Ellustrya sighed, trying to focus on the path ahead. She didn't want to admit it, but she was starting to feel the effects of their ridiculous bet. Her skin was beginning to tingle, and the cool air only exacerbated the sensation. Still, she refused to give Celdine the satisfaction of seeing her falter.

"I can handle a bit of cold," the princess said, her voice firm.

"But can't you see that your royal butt in your panties is distracting Boldasarre?"

Boldasarre looked away, his face burning.

Ellustrya scoffed. "He is a loyal subject. He will do what is necessary to complete our mission."

Celdine rolled her eyes. "Look at him, trying to avert his eyes! He's sooooo cute!"

Boldasarre felt his face heat up, and he quickly averted his gaze. "I—I'm just trying to focus on the path," he stammered, his voice cracking slightly.

Ellustrya glanced back at him, her blue eyes softening. "It's all right, Boldasarre," she said quietly. "I know this isn't... ideal."

Boldasarre swallowed hard, his mouth suddenly dry. "I just... I don't want to make you uncomfortable, Lady Ellustrya."

A small smile tugged at the corner of Ellustrya's mouth. "You could never make me uncomfortable, Boldasarre. I trust you."

Those three words hung in the air between them, heavy with meaning. Boldasarre felt his heart swell, a warmth spreading through his chest. Even in this ridiculous situation, Ellustrya still had faith in him. He took a deep breath, steeling himself for the task ahead.

"Come on, you two lovebirds! We have a bet to win!" Celdine called out, grinning.

The princess and the adventurer both kept their trousers around their ankles as they trudged through the forest.

As they made their way deeper into the forest, Boldasarre couldn't shake the feeling that this bet was only the beginning of something much larger—and much more complicated.

Boldasarre forced his gaze away from Ellustrya's retreating figure, his heart pounding in his chest. The sight of her snow-white briefs, hugging her posterior tightly, was seared into his mind. The hem curved around her buttocks, forming a triangular shape that was almost heart-like, drawing his eye despite his best efforts to look away. He swallowed hard, struggling to regain his composure.

He stumbled over a root, catching himself just before he fell. Ellustrya glanced back, concern etched on her face. "Boldasarre, are you all right?"

"Fine," he grunted, pushing himself upright. "Just... wasn't looking."

Celdine snorted, her eyes dancing with amusement. "Oh, you were looking! Just not where you were going, that's all!"

The princess scowled, her ears flattening against her head. "I was merely concerned about his safety. We need to make it to our destination in time. Boldasarre's well-being is paramount."

As she suddenly came to a halt, Boldasarre bumped into her face first into her underwear-clad buttocks. He blushed furiously and quickly pulled away, stammering an apology.

Ellustrya seemed unfazed, but Celdine snickered. "I think he likes you, Ellusty."

Boldasarre shot her a glare, but Celdine just laughed, unbothered. Ellustrya's brow furrowed, her gaze flicking between the two of them. "Celdine, enough. Boldasarre, let's keep moving. We have a ways to go yet."

Boldasarre nodded, determined to keep his eyes on the path this time. But as they walked, the sway of Ellustrya's hips, the flash of white from her knickers, kept tugging at his peripheral vision. He gritted his teeth, trying to focus on anything else—the rustle of leaves, the chirp of birds, the crunch of their footsteps on the forest floor. But it was no use. His attention was drawn inexorably back to the Dark Elf Princess and her underwear.

Ellustrya's voice cut through his thoughts. "Boldasarre, you're being too quiet. What's on your mind?"

Boldasarre hesitated, unsure how to respond. He knew that if he admitted to what he'd been thinking, he'd be humiliated. But if he tried to lie, she'd see right through him.

She stopped, turning to face him. Her blue eyes searched his, her expression serious. "Boldasarre, you can talk to me. About anything."

He swallowed hard, his gaze flicking down to her knickers before he could stop himself. Ellustrya followed his gaze, her cheeks flushing slightly. She looked back up at him, her expression unreadable.

"I... I can't stop..." he started, his voice trailing off. He gestured helplessly, his hand waving in the general direction of her lower half.

Ellustrya's eyebrows raised, understanding dawning on her face. She glanced down at her knickers, then back up at him. "Oh," she said softly. "I see."

Boldasarre braced himself for her anger, her disappointment. But instead, she just nodded, a small smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

"It's all right, Boldasarre. I know this is... a difficult situation. And I appreciate your honesty."

Boldasarre exhaled, relief washing over him. "Thank you, Ellustrya.

She chuckled, turning to continue down the path. "Just try not to get distracted again, hmm? We have a lot of ground to cover today."

Boldasarre nodded, silently vowing to do better.

Boldasarre watched her go, his mouth hanging open. He glanced at Celdine, who just shrugged, a smirk on her face. "You heard the lady, Boldasarre. Now come on, we've got a bet to settle."

With a shake of his head, Boldasarre followed, his eyes resolutely on the path this time. But the image of Ellustrya's knickers, that white heart shape, was burned into his mind, a distraction he couldn't shake. And as they walked, he couldn't help but wonder what other surprises this day would bring.
