She walked out of the maze before most, but lingered still to watch everyone leave. By ones, by twos, by more, they stumbled and skipped and ran and walked, and she watched them, the magic and the shadows obscuring her features until she finally stepped out towards the palace. She thought of those she had entertained, lingering on the woman she had dallied with, her only encounter once she had tried the potions. The rest were fleeting thoughts, flashes of men and women pressed against her in the maze. Touches and shivers and moans in the tunnel. Guards sighing with bone deep pleasure from her kisses as reward for their good service. At the ballroom he stood, and she strode to him, naked starlight with every step, a celestial wind trailing behind her with her hair. When she finally stood before him, she was clothed in a diaphanous gown of summer twilight, and she felt pleasure spark in her as he knelt before her. As he kissed her fingers. As her nails curled against his face. Praise fell from his mouth but it was his smile, the smile he only gave her, that she basked in. The Queen simply smiled back at him. |
