Arran POV
I was patrolling the dragon forest as usual. It is my duty as the second in command to our King, to ensure the safety of this place.
Everything seemed normal when a bright white light beam flashed over the northern part of the forest.
I commanded my squad to join me and we all shifted into our dragon forms and headed towards the light.
My red dragon was impressive, only our King's dragon topped him. The rest of the squad followed my lead.
We landed near the spot but we were unable to see anything. We shifted and scattered around. One of the good deals of being a dragon? We shift in and out of our clothes, and because we are beings, our clothes don´t get ruined.
We moved fast, our kingdom's security is our top priority. Us dragons don't like to mingle with other species, and our King is adamant on keeping it that way.
We are also a realm that does not grow the way it should… our numbers are low and, in case of a threat, we have to move quickly to ensure the safety of the rest of the people, so they can have a chance.
I scouted the whole area, without any success. It was past midnight and our king was holding a banquet. I decided that tomorrow, as soon as I get a chance to report to him, I will.
I called the squad back and ordered them to resume their normal patrol routine. Our king's mind linked me to join him, and I quickly headed back to the palace.
The banquet was in all its splendor. Several ladies were charmed by our king's bored expression.
I looked my way and nodded for me to walk his way. "My king." I lowered my head.
"Come on… Arran, stop that bullshit, and sit next to me." He commanded and I chuckled. He might be the almighty King of this realm, but he is my best friend.
I do the reverence just to f**k him up. "So how was the patrol round?" He asked while a girl kissed his neck.
"Was good, there was a minor issue, but I will fill you in tomorrow. Right now is not the right moment for a security brief…" I informed him and he mind linked me. "You know, all these banquets and s**t, won't get me to cheer up… so amuse me with something different than whores parading my way."
I chuckled and patted his shoulder, "Tomorrow, it seems you will get busy quite soon." I pointed out at the girl crawling under the table ready to pleasure him.
He nodded and I left the place. The long table above all the others was covered with a tablecloth, so the rest of the attendees wouldn't know what was going on with the King.
He rested his head on his chair, and the girl quickly worked him up. The advantage of being the big shot around, he gets away with everything, even getting a blow job in public.
I shook my head and moved towards the buffet table to have something to eat. Shifting into our massive dragon forms takes a lot of energy, and with the events of today's patrol, I was famished.
I piled two plates of food and walked back to the table, sitting next to Alexander. I could already see the girl crawling back from the table, meaning he was done. Good…because I hate dinner with live porn.
I sat next to the King, and he nodded my way. We engaged in small talk, while several ladies came my way and started flirting with me.
One of them started massaging my neck and my friend's mind linked me "Your turn…" he chuckled.
Fuck, I wanted to eat, and I hated that he wanted to push whores my way. I like to have fun, of course, but I also like to pick my girls. Besides, after today's patrol, I am more hungry for food than for cheap s*x.
Once upon a time, I talked to Alexander about how much I hate the council pushing girls into our beds, and ever since, he took it upon himself to push whores my way just to f**k up with me.
Knowing him, the way I do, he is just teasing, not everyone knows, but really deep down he is only a soul in pain, masked by a hard exterior.
Alex is a great guy that hides his good nature under this asshole disguise. He does a pretty good job with the cover, sometimes he even forgets who he is, and it turns out to be just an ass. Sometimes I even forget about it, he is that good at masking his true nature.
He has suffered a lot, and I get it, but somehow it is time to move on and straighten his ways. Of course that is what I think, but I will never dare to speak that out loud… if I catch him in a bad mood, he may or may not behead me.
I finished and took the two ladies to my chambers. After today's patrol, I might be in the mood for a night of fun.
The brunette was a regular attendee of this banquet, and I knew she would do a marvelous job on my d**k. The blonde one was a new face, and she looked afraid.
"Brit, is that a new friend of yours?" I asked the brunette.
"She is brand new, sire " She bowed my way and started stripping. I held her hand and turned to the blonde one.
She shivered at my attention and I lifted her head to meet my eyes. "What's your name?" I asked.
"My name is Aqua, sire…" she softly said.
"So, Aqua… are you here willingly?" I asked her, looking into her eyes.
She sobbed, God figures, what she has been through. She lowered her gaze and shook her head.
"My father sold me…" Her little voice made my heart clench.
"Aqua, go and clean your face… and I will send you to the head of the castle service… you won't have to go back to your father, nor to your buyer. I will see you get accommodations, of course, you will have to perform some sort of job in the kitchen or cleaning. You don't need to sell your body if you agree to it." I placed my hands over her shoulders, and she sobbed harder.
"Go…" I pointed towards the bathroom door.
Brit looked my way and she just mumbled "Tyron won't be happy." I looked her way and chuckled.
"Let's see Tyron going against the King and me." I challenged her.
"So sire, are you going to let me take care of you?" Brit ran her hands over my shoulders. After seeing that poor kid shiver in fear, I was not in the mood now.
"Make it quick…" I ordered her and she quickly kneeled down to take me in her mouth. I was done in an instant, and although Brit wanted more, I dismissed her from my chambers.
I communicated with the head of the service, asking her to come to my chambers and she quickly knocked on my door.
Aqua walked out of my bathroom, all clean and without that plaster of makeup. She was a f*****g child, definitely a virgin sold for a hefty amount of money. Her greedy father ripped off the benefits of his daughter's misfortunes.
"Conny, please find accommodations for Aqua. She will be working in the palace starting tomorrow." I ordered and Conny gave me a knowing look.
She extended her hand towards Aqua and the child gave me a court nod followed by a smile. They walked away from my chambers… Tomorrow I will have to have a long discussion with my friend, about how things are being run in this kingdom.
