The Yummy Princess Loses Her Innocence, Part 3

by Aunt Molly

Seriously - why does it take me so long to write anything - Pulsar whats your secret !

Starshine's face had an expression Rue had rarely seen on any fairy - seriousness.

"Starshine - what did you find out?"

"Rue we can talk about it later."

"You're acting like a grown up, you're keeping secrets from me."

"I promise I will tell you later."

A guard walked into the dining hall and announced the first guest.

Starshine, like most fairies did not have a very good memory. She was actually much better at remembering things that hadn't happened yet.

"Leah Frost, of Thol," the guard called the second name, the girl came out in a short skirt with white stockings. Short blond hair seemed deliciously boyish and playful. The Dress was a riot of colored patches. She was shaking, nervous. But managed to pull off a curtsy.

They exchanged greetings and Leah took her place next to Barbara.

Fairies didn't talk about "prememory" much. It wasn't like being an oracle. She didn't have visions, and prememories could be colored by wishful thinking. Worse she premembered many possible futures, and she didn't know which prememory went with which, like puzzle peices from a half dozen puzzles scattered on the floor.

"Paige Blossom of the convent of Aussura,"

Blossom was extraordinary only in how ordinary she looked. Not *ugly* but definately not pretty. She could have dissapeared into a crowd easilly. Even her clothes were plain. The Assurites felt in was important for their young charges to know the difference between beauty and vanity.

Worse Starshine could only premember the things she was going to see. She had no idea what would happen out of her sight.

And sometimes she was wrong.

Just like regular memories could be wrong.

"My Queen this next guest... her name."

Queen Mavere raised a reassuring hand, "It is the naming convention of her people."

The guard took a deep breath, "Heppi of the Welcome to Princess Party."

And there was what Rue's father had told her.

Prince Edward had snatched her out of the air. But then he showed her - showed her things.

Someone was killing members of the royal family - the most distant relatives first then moving inwards.

"I will let you decide whether or not Rue should know this."

Men and women who were nobles in name only, fourth cousins, second cousins once removed. Bankers, tavern owners, merchant ship captains.

Heppi wore a deep hood that obscured her face, a long white dress and a high collar to obscure her body, gloves to cover her hands.

She curtsied just as the rest, her voice was high pitched even for a girl's and a bit gruff. "Queen of the Welcome Heppi into Your House. ", she then took her place next to the other girls.

.

Starshine Premembered Rue telling Alfred she was going to marry him. She didn't look happy about it.

With all the awful things that Starshine knew were going to happen to Rue, the fairy felt this added insult to injury.

She decided she was going to do something about it.

***

The Queen looked to the guard, "Isn't there supposed to be one other guest?"

"Yes my Queen, Melissa of Lan Melgore - but she is far out in the lay country she may be a little late."

"Very good, Rue I will have to give her a formal greeting during dinner. The rest of us - have things we must attend to"

Rue and Mavere kissed each other on the cheek.

Then the assembly began to disperse.

Julia ( though she pronounced it You - Lee-ahh) was Ula's assistant, a dwarf woman, stocky, even for her race, helped the old baroness up.

Baron Monique was Queen Mavere's younger brother, he ( and he did respond to *he* ), would have made an attractive woman were it not for his long mustache. He was resplendant in light blue with a garnet necklace to add some glitter..

"Part of me wants to be with you and your friends and do the whole 'girl talk' thing, but I know having an adults at a kids party is about as much fun as rain during a picnic. But will you sit next to me at dinner so we can catch up?"

"I would insist on it.", baron Monique and Rue clasped each others hands and kissed each other's cheeks.

"Sweet! See you at dinner !"

Then the princess turned to great her guests, holding her hands behind her back.

Alfred was standing next to Rue.

Starshine lifted off from Rue's shoulder, " Girls only - get lost!"

"Her mother needs all the allies she can get, that means she has to be nice to my mother. And since I am my mother's youngest son, I feel that Rue should be nice to me. After all I did apologize for my earlier behavior."

"What earlier behaviore?"

"Oh she did not tell you?"

Starshine shook her head.

"Then it is of no concern to you."

Why Rue would ever marry Alfred, Starshine had no idea.

Starshine could not premember much about the other girls - she could premember Heppi pulling back her hood and revealing her face.

But why ruin the surprise?.

Rue clasped her hands behind her back, "Everyone here has passed a certain test - even Melissa, who isn't here yet, but I hope she gets here soon. We wouldn't want her to miss anything."

Alfred raised his eyebrows at Barbara. Barbara responded with an annoyed look.

Rue continued, " I wanted to make sure each of you is able to see past what someone looks like."

Alfred snorted, "Speaking of which, miss Blossom, I see you didn't bother to dress up."

Blossom looked down at the floor, " A paige of Assura is supposed to develop her inner beauty."

Alfred muttered something under his breath - something that sounded sarcastic.

Rue waved her finger at the boy, "Alfred, be nice, she will be a priestess one day."

"I suppose.", ALfred went back to staring at Barbara's tits.

Rue nudged the noble boy's gaze upwards.

Rue turned back to her guests, "We will wait another hour for our final guest to arrive. Till then why don't we go to my room, have some tea, get to know each other? Maybe play games?"

***

Melissa's carriage was getting to the Palace as fast as humanly possible. But not because she was in a hurry to get to the party.

Melissa heard the horses hooves clap loudly against the cobblestone streets, She'd had to remove the lower half of her skirt to use as a bandage. Wadded into a ball and pressed hard against Baron Helmut's bleeding thigh.

It had surprised her, she didn't hesitate, or feel embarrassed, it was what had to be done.

Poor Morgan curled up into a ball. Pulling her knees against her chest.

She hated this, this was something an adult should be doing She did exactly what Mr. Diogenes instructed.

People outside running out of the way - shouting obscenities.

"What happened Next?", Melissa tried to keep her voice calm. Blood loss was making the baron drift in and out of consciousness, Mr. Diogenes told her to keep him talking about the war.

He could talk about that forever.

"Well there were hords of goblins all around us,. So many I don't think the goblin king had weapons for them all. Some wore little more than heavy cloth for armor, and weilded clubs for weapons. But their numbers and ferocity. And their dogs. The howling and barking of the dogs, it was all we could do to keep the horses from bolting. Then we found it."

"Found what baron?"

Mr. Diogenes cried out from above, "Open the gates! Open the gates !"

"Hubert's hope, we named it after the prince consort. Queen Mavere's father. It was a fortress disguised as a hill, or maybe it was just so old it got burred in dust and dirt. But it was as if the gods had made this for us, so we could turn the tide of war. ", he started to nod off.

"Baron wake up !"

"Huh?"

"What happened after that?"

"The hord flowed around us like water - I think some of the more professional solciers wanted to lay seige, but most of them just moved on, looking for easier loot I guess."

The carriage stopped and Mr. Diogenes, the homely man Melissa had met a month or so before, whome she had given two apples to, grabbed the baron and carried him inside.

If Melissa hadn't given him those apples, she and the half-troll would not have happened by when the baron's guards were attacked. Had her grandmother not been a dirty old lady, she would not have had a ready bandage for the baron,

If she had prayed a little harder would her sister have lived? Had she prayed less would her nephew have died? How many life and death matters were decided by the seemingly trivial?

Diogenes ran down the hall of the Palace, "Get Doctor Forest !"

Doctor Forest, the woman who had supposedly Mavere poison the old queen.

Morgan came out from the carriage. She was still shaking.

Melissa gave the girl a comforting hand.

They held hands as they walked through the fading green of the grass. The air was crisp but not unpleasantly cool. She heard the gate for the tall raught iron fence that surrounded the palace grounds close behind her.

For some reason Melissa expected a castle.

Glass was expensive, in fact the temple was the only place in Melissa's valley to have any. The windows on the palace were large enough that if the glass were removed, Melissa could walk through the openings. The white washed walls gleamed. There was ornate staurary along the walk up to the main doors which were iron and large enough to let a giant in.

It was too delicate, too dainty to be a castle.

Melissa and Morgan walked hand in hand to the main door the guard stood to attention.

Morgan regained some confidence and looked up to the guard.

"This is Melissa from Lan Melgore - she is a friend of mine."

The guard nodded curtly.

Melissa noticed he wasn't wearing red armor.But instead wore plain old chain-mail.

"Only the officers wear red - thats how grandpa knew they weren't real."

Red was the color of the royal familly, and it was the color of the armor of the men that had attacked baron Helmut.

Melissa suspected that if anyone else had seen it, they might not have known they weren't real.

Melissa gave a quick curtsy to the guard.She became self conscious of her short skirt, " I - I don't normally dress like this. Really I am a well behaved girl."

"Its none of his business Melissa ! Come on I want to know my grandpa is good"

***

Gwen was a plump woman with dark hair. Her uniform covered most of that body, though she was happy to show off the generous bosoms she possessed

She poured the tea and brought the raspberry tarts. And as this was done Starshine snuck down to Rue's bed. Sure enough it still had traces of Rue's missy nectar, dried, but still potent. With all that was going on the maids hadn't gotten a change to change Rue's sheets.

Now Starshine had promised not to seduce any little girls, and she was going to keep that promise.

Now who's tea? There was only one boy at the table, assuming at least one of them was into boys.

Of course pouring it into the pot directly would be the most effective. And Starshine thought - probably the funniest. All those pretty girls with raging libido's and diminished inhibitions.

But Rue would figure it out, and Starshine could already premember the scolding she would receive - being confined to a bird cage for three days.

Ahh - Heppi. Starshine knew the secret that hood hid from view and the thought of it - of her and Alfred was hilarious.

All Starshine had to do was wait for the right moment.

Gwen smiled sweetly, "Would you like me to change your sheets while I am here Princess?"

"Oh yes, thank you Gwen.", Gwen reached over and yanks the cheets and carried them away. Starshine had gotten to them just in time.

The maid left the room dirty sheets in hand.

Rue folded her hands on the table, "I wanted you here for two reasons, first I will be queen, not for a long long time, but I thought it would be good to know the real people in my country."

Leah smirked, she shifted a bit in her seat as if she had more energy than could be contained in a peice of furniture, " Sooo, you said two reasons?"

"The second reason has to do with Heppi, when Melissa gets here then we will all see at once."

The other girls sipped their tea. Barbara shrugged.

No one was supposed to know about Heppi except for Captain Blake, nanny, and Rue's parents. But then again even Rue knew in a palace rumors spread quickly. Maybe Gwen was trying to make Heppi feel welcome.

.

There was shouting in the halls below, Diogenes Bass voice echoing through the palace, "Get Doctor Forest !"

Leah lifted her head, "Does that happen around here a lot?"

"Almost never. Somebody may have had an accident."

Barbara sipped her tea, "Isn't Mr. Diogenes supposed to be the one fetching that peasant girl."

Leah put down her tea so down so hard it sloshed over the side of the cup,"Farmer! 'peasant' is derogatory."

"Whatever. Our country friend should be with him."

Starshine shouted, "Hey ! Why don't we investigate!"

"I'm sorry Heppi you can't come with us Captain Blake doesn't want you wandering around the palace."

"Heppi of the Little Girl, No danger to anyone."

"I know, but he's head of security, and my parents agree with him."

Starshine orbited around Rue's head, "Its not nice to leave her hear by herself.Maybe Alfred could stay with her."

Alfred looked indignant, "Why should I stay?"

"Like you actually care what's going on, And Heppi is the one girl we know you won't try anything funny with."

"I am not that bad."

Perfect, thought Starshine. She poured the missy nectar into the tea, that only Heppi and Alfred would be drinking.

The girls, in single file shuffled out into the hall.

With any luck Rue would never think of marrying Alfred.

***

Melissa and Morgan went down the hall to where Mr. Diogenes had gone, a tall man with curly, dirty blond hair, turning slightly gray blocked their path.

He *was * wearing red.

Melissa sucked in her breath, "Morgan, who is your friend?"

"Captain Blake this is Melissa of Lan Melgore. She was invited here."

Melissa place her hands in front of her trying to cover her almost completely revealed legs..

"You know all guests have to be cleared by me. I am sure Melissa is harmless. Still even a baron's daughter has to follow procedures. Besides aren't you supposed to be home by now?"

"Grandpa went to another house in town, all the barons that were mad at Queen Mavere were there."

"Do you know what they were talking about? Did they get into a fight? Did anyone threaten your grandfather?"

Morgan shook her head. "They was all quiet. I'm not even sure if I should tell you."

Captain Blake put his hand on Morgan's shoulder, "I just want to find out who wants to hurt your grandfather."

"Like I said - they was all real quiet.."

"What about the poeple who attacked you?"

"I dunno - they were all wearing masks, and red like you. But grandpa said it couldn't be the queen's guard, he saw them too much."

"Go on."

"One opened the door and I head a sound like hands clapping, a flash, and smoke,. And it smelled bad."

"Smelled bad how?"

"Like rotten eggs."

"Did you get a good look at the weapon?"

Morgan shook her head."I was so scared I just covered my head. But I think it was smaller than a crossbow."

Captain Blake turned to Melissa. "What did you see?"

Melissa felt a little relaxed it was nice to have a grown up in charge, someone who knew what they were doing.

"I was sitting up on the seat. Me and Mr. Diogenes were talking and we heard the sound. We came over the hill and men in red were attacking the carriage and the baron's guards. I thought the queen's guard was attacking them, but Mr. Diogenes said he didn't believe it."

"Did you see anything else?"

The girls shook their heads.

"I'll ask Mr. Diogenes later, and baron Helmut when he recovers. Morgan, I will tell you when you can visit him But right now Doctor Forest has to work."

"Thank you."

"Rue and the other guests are upstairs.Why don't you go and see them?"

Melissa curtsied once more, "Thank you captain, sir."

Morgan took Melissa's hand, they walked past the staircase and kept going. Finding a maid named Merideth, a hhandsome older woman, she smiled to the girls, "Oh sweet goddess - I saw all the commotion."

"He is with Doctor Forest now, I was wondering if you could draw us a bath."

"Why certainly, I will get right to it."

Melissa shook her head, "What? Why?"

"You smell like goat."

"But I had a bath just last month!"

Morgan gave Melissa a look as if the peasant girl had said something strange.

"Well - why do you need a bath then?"

"Cause when that man used that loud, smelly, weapon - I peed myself."

***

Rue, Leah, Barbara and Blossom went out into the hall to investigate all the ruckus. Poor Heppi had to be left behind.

But by the time they had gotten downstairs all the commotion had finished. Rue did find Captain Blake.

The head of palace securitty told Rue what he could - that Morgan and Helmut had been attacked, that the baron was going to be fine and that Morgan was uninjured.

"But were is Morgan now?"

"I sent her to see you. I would have assumed she'd be in your room by now."

Barbara whispered in Rue's ear, "Who is Morgan?"

"Morgan is Baron Helmut's granddaughter - and she's my best friend."

"Hey!", Starshine flew in.

"Well she's my best *human* friend."

Starshine crossed her arms,"Well I guess thats alright."

"Thank you captain."

"Princess I must lead you and get on with my duties."

"Of course."

***

The so called "bathtub" looked to Melissa more like a swimming pool dug out of the granite floor. The water was hot straight out of the pump, when asked what magic did this, "No magic, there is a furnace below."

"Oh.", it seemed like a lot of trouble to go through for a bath. Bathday for Melissa's village involved fetching water from the river, heating it over the fireplace, Then baths would be taken in age order. Grandmother first, then father, mother, untill rescently Jennet, then Melissa and the twins ( who were still little enough to bath together )..

By the time the water was dumped out it was pretty soupy.

This was Melissa's first bath with fresh clean water.

She did admit, the warm water felt really good.

Mereideth poured oil on her hands and began to rub it on Meliss'as body.

Melissa felt very self conscious, "Ma'am, I can bath myself."

Margan whispered, "I think she only likes boys."

Melissa felt a little confused, " No, I am just used to bathing myself."

"I can have one of our manservants bathe you - if you prefer."

Morgan seemed excited, "Is Jack available?, He sings real good.."

"I can check."

Melissa didn't want to seem ungreatful, but at the same time , "Ma'am its its just I have bathed myself for years, and I don't need help."

"I promise - nothing will happen you don't want to happen"

"Please, I feel awkward."

Meredith smiled, "Alright dear. But if you need anything just call."

When Meredith left Melissa felt she could relax. Having people watch her bathe, however good there intentions made her uncomfortable.

But then Morgan took Meredith's place, rubbing oil on Melissa's back.

"I don't need anyone to bath me."

"But it feels good, and you deserve it. You saved my grandpa's life."

"You could have done it, all you had to do was hold cloth against the wound.I just did what mister Diogenes told me to."

Melissa surrenedered, the little girl's touch was practiced,

"Were did you learn to do this?"

"My grandpa has back problems,"

"You and your grandpa you don't -"

"No - no. Grandpa doesn't touch me anywhere private. Grandpa hasn't had a girlfriend since my grandma died. Sometimes he asks me to walk on his back."

"Why don't you have servants do it?", Morgans hands move lower.

"Because I get to show my grandpa I love him."

Melissa remembered late at night sometimes, Mother would rub her father's shoulders. Sometimes Melissa would rub Mother's shoulders. And there was a kind of simple pleasure in it.

Morgans arms slipped around Melissa's body, cupping the peasant girl's chest, rubbing the scented oil over it. "Does your mom have big boobs?"

"Yes, but my mother is kind of stocky. More muscle than fat - she's almost as strong as a man."

Melissa thought she should say "no", but it felt nice.

The small hands moved away for a bit as the hands were re oiled.arms snaked around her body. Morgan was forced to place her naked body against Melissa's in order to reach. Caressing over Melissa's stomach.

Small hands moved to Melissa's thighs, part of her told her that this was wrong, but that voice was downed out by an even louder one that wanted to see were this went.

Lips kissed along the back of her neck, down down along ger spine down to the level of the water.

Melissa was beginning to shake, "Should I do you now?", Melissa hadn't even been kissed and yet this girl, younger than her was moving across her body confidently. As exciting as it was, it began to frighten her.

"If you want."

Melissa pours some bathing oil on her own hand, "Alright - turn around."

"Why?"

"Well I can't do your back unless you are turned around."

"Sure you can, just put your arms around me.", Then Morgan's lips gently alighted on Melissa's.

Melissa moved her arms around the girl's body, lips kissing gently. Melissa was starting to relax, no one could see them, no one knew.

Then the kissing got harder, them embrace tighter, Her missy grew itchy She rubbed it gently against Morgan's body, and Morgan rubbed her Missy against Melissa.

Wet bodies in the steaming bath, it felt so good, so much more intense than when Melissa used her finger. A Moan forced its way out of her.

Melissa jumped back startled.It echoed in the large stone room.

"Its alright Missy No one can hear - and if they can hear, no one cares. " Morgan slid her body against Melissa's letting out a moan of her own. Unashamed completely relaxed.

To beautiful little girls, naked, no shame or inhibitions, looking deep into each other's eyes, seeing their own lust reflected back.

Melissa relaxed rubbing her missy against her partner's letting herself relax, letting her missy be in charge, just for now. The wonderful basic pleasure of skin against skin.

Soon they shuddered and moaned as one.

***

.

Lying there in the warm water, Melissa wasn't sure how to feel. She felt guilty. She wanted this first time, this discovery to be with Margaret.But Margaret was going to get married. Just a silly little girl crush.

.

Then unannounced someone came in. Melissa had suspected it was time to leave, someone more important than her needed to used the bath.

Four, no five someones. four girls, and a flying creature in the shape of a young woman.

Melissa's father said fairies didn't exist. So Melissa stared at the creature transfixed.

In fact she was caught by surprise when little Morgan, wet and naked, and appearently without any sense of modesty, jumped out of the water and gave an olive skinned girl in a blue dress a big hug.

"Rue!"

"You cheating on me you little slut?", to Melissa's surprise and to the other girl's as well she patted Morgan's little wet bottom.

"I had to thank her for saving my grandpa's life.

Melissa wasn't sure if she should stand and curtsy or stay in the water. "It wasn't anything - anyone could have done it."

Rue kissed Morgan's cheek "Captain Blake told me about what happened. You alright?"

"I'm fine now."

"I want to jump into the bath with you two, but I am not sure if my guests would be up for it."

A tall girl with respectable breasts shrugged, " I am perfectly comfortable with my body, but princess, we do have one guest we had to leave behind."

"Right. Morgan you and Melissa right?"

Melissa nodded.

"You two get dressed and meet me upstairs.I need you all there at once."

***

Alfred kind of like having only one person to share the tea and raspberry tarts with.

The tea tasted like - like. Darjeeling, not that ridiculously pedestrian blend Rue seemed to prefer.

"Alfred of the D"Tilmerand, what is in the tea?"

"Its Darjeeling, apparently the maid has better taste in tea than the princess."

Alfred sipped more.He started to feel a little light headed. Did Gwen spike the tea?

She heard sometimes the servants plot little practical jokes on their masters. Still Alfred poured himself another cup.

It wasn't a bad feeling.

"Is Dar-jee-ling tasting of the Sump-syrup?", Alfred felt a stockinged foot rub against his leg playfully.

Was this odd creature flirting with me?

Was this some kind of trick? Was she trying to manipulate him?

Alfred could have stopped it but decided to ignore it, "I wouldn't know, what is sump syrup?"

"Sump-syrup of the syrup of the sumpweed."

"Thats rediculous. A lot of folks are allergic to sumpweed, only one race could actually enjoy it."

Then Alfred reached out and pulled back Heppi's hood.

***

Dried and dressed, the girls walked in a gaggle back to Rue's room.

Leah winked at Melissa, " You are wearing underpants under that, aren't you?"

Melissa blushed,"Yes."

"Good because one time me an my da' were doing a show, my da' does the music an' I do acrobatics an' stuff, and I was doing flips an' stuff an' I forgot to wear underpants. An' my da' got into trouble cause they thought my da' made me do it. An' I wasn't allowed to wear dresses for like a month!"

Rue lead the way as they climbed the stairs, "You and your dad are performers?"

"Uh huh - I 'm an' apprentice Jester."

Barbara stared at Leah, "Aren't jesters supposed to work in nobles houses?"

"You're one of those 'inside the box' kinda girls ain't ya?"

Rue opened the door to her room.

Rue, like Starshine, had a flair for the dramatic. The desire for theater. Heppi was supposed to pull back her hood in front of everyone.

The fact that Heppi had already revealed her face was not what shocked her though. The fact Heppi was sitting on Alfred's lap with their arms wrapped around each other Kissing passionately.

All the girls stood with their mouths hung open. It was blossom who broke the silence.

"The Goddess is powerful, and her ways mysterious."

Starshine giggled and whispered in Rue's ear, "It's a good thing your mom made us make that promise or else who knows what kinds of perversion would be afoot!"

"My grandma made it."
