"My dear Sivila, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the trust you have placed in Gilraen! I was pleasantly surprised to learn he has been given a position in your retinue. And I hope you appointed him as your valet because of his talents and skills, not because of me or because you want to surround yourself with handsome young men again."

Camrad_RIP 23.03.24 в 18:24

A faint smile touched the queen's lips, and she replied in a voice full of warmth:

Camrad_RIP 23.03.24 в 18:26

"What are you saying, Gradiana? You know that for more than three thousand years I have been carefully selecting only the most worthy into my retinue and looking only at their merits."

Camrad_RIP 23.03.24 в 18:26

Reflected in the artifact mirror on the queen's desk, a young-looking elven woman in an austere and closed dress smiled back. She had the same platinum hair as the queen, but unlike the green-eyed Sivila, her eyes were bright blue like a pair of sapphires.

Camrad_RIP 23.03.24 в 18:28

"These are exactly the words I expected to hear from the Queen of the Forest. I was beginning to think you decided to reminisce about your youth. Give Gilraen my sincere congratulations and wishes for success in his new position."

Camrad_RIP 23.03.24 в 18:34

"I will. I can assure you, Gradiana, that he is very diligent. In the meantime, if you'll excuse me, the business of the Forest not waits."

Camrad_RIP 23.03.24 в 18:35

"Of course."

Camrad_RIP 23.03.24 в 18:35

Saying a warm farewell to her aunt, Sivila dimmed the mirror and waited for the artifact to fade out completely. Then she leaned back in her desk chair and allowed herself a satisfied smile. Auntie could take a punch, she could not take that away from her. She has as much experience in court life as Sivila, they are almost the same age by elven standards. And she knows how to stab back, too. //"Surround myself with handsome young boys!" Ridiculous! Those times when she had to spite her husband for every new lover, secret or apparent, she had another favorite of her own, were long gone. But what can you do, everyone was young and made mistakes once, and elves have a long memory, nobody forgot anything. Although, many of those mistakes were very pleasant, it is foolish to deny it. Still, there is a certain charm in young and passionate boys. Speaking of which.

Camrad_RIP 23.03.24 в 18:39

The queen held out her hand and reactivated the mirror, which showed one of the rooms in her chambers reserved for her girls. Anetta and Mariane had time for lunch, which they now always tried to spend in the company of their new nominal superior. And right now, her girls were just getting down to dessert in the person of that very boss. Putting aside empty plates and glasses, they carefully removed their white and gold tunics and hung them on the backs of chairs. Left in sandals, the queen's maids moved to the chair on which her cousin was sitting. Or rather, to which he was tied with a thin silk rope by his arms and legs so that they were wide apart. It was his only clothing, apart from the blindfold and the gag in his mouth. All the rest of his clothes were neatly arranged on the wide couch against the wall.

Camrad_RIP 23.03.24 в 20:30

With a satisfied smile, Anetta leisurely approached her boss and the father of the future child. Carefully kneeling in front of him, she took his cock with one hand and began to massage it, squeezing and stroking it. Mariane went behind Gilraen's back, put her arms around him leaned forward, and bit her lips on his long, sharp ear, sucking on it diligently. This elicited a muffled moan and sped up his erection. When Gilraen's fighter stood at attention, Anetta rose to her feet with a predatory smile and mounted the queen's cousin. After enjoying the sensations for a moment, she put her arm around Gilraen's shoulders and began to move her hips, gradually increasing her pace. Mariane releasing the elf's ear from her mouth, relieved him of the gag. But only to, turn him to face her, gag him with a kiss, and begin exploring his mouth with her tongue. There was understandably no way Gilraen could resist this.

Camrad_RIP 23.03.24 в 20:32

Smiling, Sivila watched her girls for a moment longer, waiting for her cousin to finish, causing the symbols of reinforcing and protective rituals to flash gold on Anetta's belly, which received a boost. Panting, she carefully climbed off her superior and the maids switched places. Let them have their fun, the girls deserved it. She, on the other hand, was unlikely to have any fun anytime soon. The queen sighed sadly at the thought of the palace dungeon, where the next batch of adorable green-skinned cuties, specially bred and bred for bedtime fun, would soon grow up. There was no time for her cute babies now, and there wasn't even any time soon.

Camrad_RIP 23.03.24 в 20:34

The queen stood up from her desk, picked up a couple of scroll cases with scrolls written in small, painstaking handwriting, and left the office. Astra, Katrina, and Fiorel were waiting outside the door. The latter, to his credit, had borne the consequences of his blunder at the ball without showing his anguish in any way. With a nod to the maid, Sivila said:

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:15

"You can be free till tonight, my dear. Go eat with the rest of the girls. Just don't forget to milk and feed Sierra."

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:16

"As you wish, Your Majesty," Katrina bowed low.

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:16

The queen left the chamber with her henchman and bodyguard, heading for the Council Chamber. There was an extremely unpleasant matter ahead, which, unfortunately, there was no way to avoid. The revision of the Forest's budget. By the time of her arrival, everyone had already gathered around the wide round table in the spacious room, brightly lit by magical lamps, skillfully made in the form of real candles. Among the top leaders of the Forest were the Supreme Treasurer, the Supreme Emissary, and the Head of the Secret Guard. The latter was alone, in his unchanged gray uniform and with an unfailingly imperturbable face. The other two top leaders of the Forest were accompanied by a pair of attendants. In addition to them, there were representatives of the Commander of the Forest Guard and the Commander of the Fleet, as well as representatives of the Supreme Caretaker of the Gardens, the Eldest of the Masters, and the First Apprentice of the Eldest Enchantress. All with the right to speak on behalf of their superiors. After greeting all those gathered, the Queen took her place at the table and immediately began:

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:32

"Honored ones, we have little time and much work to do. I suggest we skip the eulogies and get right to the point. What is the current situation in Morgrave?"

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:33

The Supreme Emissary looked grimly at his colleague, who was nonchalantly going through a stack of financial documents in front of him:

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:34

"A very difficult one, Your Majesty. The city is badly damaged, and most of the fortifications on the seaside are destroyed. It will require considerable resources to rebuild. And our neighbors are already looking at the Duc de Mont Ros's holdings with interest."

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:38

With a faint smile, the Supreme Treasurer uttered:

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:38

"Significant means, my dear friend, is a very broad term. And when it comes to helping people, it is close to infinity. But to my deepest regret, the resources of the Forest are not."

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:39

Taking a few scrolls, he handed them to the rest of those gathered for the meeting:

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:39

"Here is the optimum amount of aid we can allocate to the Honorable Duke Augustus without making significant changes."

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:39

After running her eyes over the list she had received, Sivila set it aside and shook her head:

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:40

" It is not enough. Only food until the next harvest will be fully provided. Provided it is properly distributed, which will have to be organized. Materials are in short supply. At best, enough to rebuild the harbor and part of the sea fortifications."

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:40

The Supreme Treasurer, still with the same faint smile, replied:

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:41

"I didn't say it was enough to help. I said it was the optimal amount of aid we could give the honorable Duke. To increase it, we will inevitably have to reduce our expenditures in other areas."

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:42

The queen groaned to herself, realizing what was about to happen and how long it would take. Everyone knew it, but there was no way to avoid it.

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:46

"Then it must be done," the High Emissary said in a calm voice, "Too much has been invested in Morgrave for us to afford to lose this city or give it over to foreign influence. It is, in fact, our only sea gateway to the Middle Sea."

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:47

"I understand you perfectly well, and, mind you, I am in no way denying or minimizing the role of this city for our Forest. But I also ask you to understand me. In order to provide additional aid to the honorable Duke Augustus, funding will have to be cut elsewhere. Besides," the Supreme Treasurer glanced at the impassive Head of the Secret Guard, "can anyone guarantee that the money spent on rebuilding the city will not be wasted?"

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 19:46

"No one can give you such a guarantee, especially not as long as the funding of intelligence activities on the Islands remains at the current level," the Head of the Forest Intelligence Service replied nonchalantly.

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 19:47

"How to distribute the funds allocated to you for intelligence work is up to you to decide..."

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 19:32

The meeting lasted almost three hours, during which the assembled Forest leaders tried to find an answer to a very difficult question. Who would pay for the restoration of Morgrave? Everyone understood perfectly well that it was necessary for the good of the Forest. But everyone also thought it would be better to do it at the cost of a neighboring department rather than their own. And all those present argued very reasonably why their funding should not be cut. Eventually, the necessary funds were found, at the cost of delaying the construction of two additional small fortresses on the southern border of the Forest and four new ships for the merchant fleet. Also, with a creak, still, it was decided to purchase additional materials from the Undermountin. After the meeting was over and all matters were settled, Sivila returned to her chambers with her retinue. A table set by the maids was already waiting for them there. Nodding to her girls, the queen followed one of them behind a screen, where she helped her mistress change into a house dress.

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:49

How tiresome such meetings were. They had always been her least favorite part of her duties. The saving grace was that they were far less frequent in the Forest than in any human or even dwarven state. As a rule, all expenses are planned a dozen years in advance, if they are minor or short-term expenditures. But sometimes, much more often than she would like, unforeseen troubles occur. And then you have to make such adjustments. This time, at least they're over pretty quickly. Now, she can eat in peace and then get on with...

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:52

"Your Majesty!"

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:45

Anetta's sharp and tense voice made Sivila instantly wary. What now? The queen peeked out from behind the screen and saw an agitated maid coming from the next room.

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:45

"Sierra's water broke! She's in labor!"

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 19:47

To herself, the queen sighed doomfully. Luaval would be upset, he wanted to be there in person for the birth of his firstborn. Outwardly, however, she ordered with a nonchalant face:

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:43

"Summon the senior healing sorceress. Mariana, Katrina, help Ciera and take her to the delivery room...."

Camrad_RIP 26.03.24 в 13:43

Camrad_RIP 24.03.24 в 11:37

"Aaaaaaarh!"

Camrad_RIP 24.03.24 в 11:33

" Come on, my dear, a little more!"

Camrad_RIP 24.03.24 в 11:34

Lying on the special birthing bed in the center of the ritual circle, the dark elfess moaned in pain as she gripped the armrests of the bed. The symbols of the blessings and magical rituals imposed on her, without which the labor would have been much more difficult, shone brightly on her huge belly. The symbols of the ritual circle shimmered in unison with them, easing the pain and supporting the dark elf's strength. The queen's maids stood beside her, continuously wiping away the sweat that rolled down her body in large hailstones. A set of healing potions and ointments on a small table beside them. Ciera's lips were bloody and her hair was tangled, but her ruby eyes burned with determination. The older healer, whose eyes shone with a soft golden light in unison with the gemstones of the tiara she wore on her forehead, spoke in a calm voice:

Camrad_RIP 24.03.24 в 11:36

"Come on, girl, just a little bit more. That's it, all right, come on!"

Camrad_RIP 24.03.24 в 11:18

"Aaaaaaarh!"

Camrad_RIP 24.03.24 в 11:18

Gritting her teeth, the dark one tensed with all her might, and the healer placed her palms on her belly, making the symbols on Ciera's belly flare especially bright.

Camrad_RIP 24.03.24 в 11:17

"All right, that's it, keep going, girl...."

Camrad_RIP 24.03.24 в 11:17

The labor lasted several hours and ended well past midnight. It was quite easy by the standards of elves. The queen took a carefully washed baby wrapped in snow-white diapers and held it in her arms for a few moments. The baby was born large, with a small lock of snow-white hair and large violet eyes with which he looked at others. A good boy. As if to confirm this, he immediately opened his toothless mouth and yelled loudly, demanding attention and food. The queen gently handed the baby to the dark elf, as the girls helped her to clean herself up, change into clean clothes and move from the medical bed to a fresh bed. She opened her eyes, opened the collar of her nightgown, gently took her son in her arms, and pressed him to her breast. Finding the woman's nipple, the baby immediately sucked on it and fell silent, and Ciera blissfully closed her eyes again. The girls had just finished preparing a lullaby, clean diapers, and other things needed to care for the infant. Sivila turned to them and said:
