Arthur stood outside Queen Isolde's room, his hand on the intricately carved door handle.
The warmth of the wood and the protective runes confirmed his royal lineage. He sensed her presence inside, along with a tension in the air hinting at secrets waiting to be revealed.
Time to uncover how deep this conspiracy runs.
He walked in without knocking, taking advantage of his royal privilege. The solar was elegantly furnished, filled with rich tapestries and cozy furniture around a fireplace, with soft magical lights casting a warm glow.
Isolde was by the window, backlit by the afternoon sun. Her beauty glowed, accentuated by the silver in her dark hair. She didn't turn as he entered, but her body tensed slightly, preparing for what was to come.
"I was wondering when you'd come," she said quietly, her voice tinged with resignation.

Guilt and resignation at ninety percent. She knows why I'm here.
"You know why I'm here," Arthur replied, closing the door and activating the magical privacy wards. The runes glowed briefly, ensuring their chat remained private.
Isolde finally turned, tears threatening to spill from her violet eyes. She looked more beautiful now, her royal facade cracking to reveal her vulnerability.
"The healer?" she asked, already knowing the answer.
"Dead. But I confirmed what I suspected." He stepped closer, his presence filling the room. "Someone close to the royal family fed information to the Coalition—someone who knew the king's routines and weaknesses."
"Arthur..." she whispered, his name sounding like a prayer.
"Someone with a motive and opportunity. A person who felt trapped in a loveless marriage, seeing freedom in the Coalition's offer."
Isolde's composure broke completely, tears spilling down her cheeks, and Arthur felt unexpectedly moved by her breakdown.
"It wasn't supposed to happen this way," she choked out. "Roderick wasn't meant to die. They promised it would just be pressure to force him to abdicate peacefully."
[ALERT: Confession detected] [EMOTIONAL STATE: Extreme distress confirmed] [RECOMMENDED ACTION: Comfort to encourage further disclosure]
Hisexpressionsoftened, andhegentlywiped her tears away. "Tell me everything, Isolde. No more lies. I need to know if I'm going to protect what's left of our family."
She trembled as emotions surged within her. "My grandfather, Duke Aldred of House Thornwick, approached me months ago. He said the Eastern Coalition wanted a peaceful transition of power."
Arthur frowned, surprised. House Thornwick had usually stayed out of conflict. "Your grandfather? I thought he withdrew from politics years ago."
"He's old and bitter about Roderick's treatment of our marriage." Her voice grew stronger as she revealed her secrets.
"Twenty years as a decorative wife. When they promised I'd be treated like a real queen rather than just a pretty figurehead..." Fresh tears began. "I never agreed to assassination. They said it would just be leverage."
Arthur grasped her shoulders, pulling her close enough to feel her warmth. "But you gave them information."
"Guard schedules. Roderick's routines. His defenses when they were weakest." The words spilled out in a rush of regret. "I thought they'd use it to negotiate, not kill. When I learned about the poison, I realized I'd been fooled."

"Isolde," Arthur said, his voice filled with understanding. "You were manipulated by people who knew how to exploit your pain."
She stepped closer, drawn in by his tone. An unspoken tension charged the air between them. "You should hate me. I'm responsible for your father's death—"
"You're a victim," he interrupted, hands moving to her waist. "Now, you will help me make this right. I need to punish you first."
The space between them buzzed with energy as Arthur's power resonated with her emotional vulnerability. Isolde's breath quickened, her eyes locked on his amber-green ones.
"Arthur, this is wrong," she whispered, even as she leaned closer. "You're my stepson; I'm married to your father—"
"Your husband is dead," Arthur replied, his lips close to her ear. "Nothing about this is wrong. And you've always wanted this."
He kissed her gently at first, then with increasing passion. Years of loneliness and longing poured out as she responded eagerly, pulling him closer.

When they finally broke the kiss, both were breathless. Isolde's royal facade had given way to raw need, and her violet eyes shone with desire and newfound hope.
"I've wanted this for so long," she admitted, tracing his jawline. "Even when I hated myself for it, even when I thought it was impossible. You're not like your father—you see me."
Arthur led her to the grand bed in her chambers, moving with confidence. "Don't hate yourself anymore. Accept what this is. You're not just a political figure; you're a woman with real needs, and I'm here to fulfill them."
"Strip," he said, arms crossed,. "Show me what you gave my dad while you sold him out."
Isolde's hands shook as she untied her dress. It fell, showing off her full tits, hard nipples, and the dark curls between her legs. She stood there, red-faced, turned on but guilty.
Arthur's dick throbbed in his pants, picking up her wet scent. "Fucking hot," he said, stepping close. "Wasted on a weak king and a dumb plan."
He grabbed her tit, squeezing hard. She gasped, "Oh!" He pinched her nipple, making her whimper, then **smacked** her ass hard. She yelped, stumbling forward.
"That's for betraying him," Arthur snapped. Another smack. "For hiding it." A third smack, her ass shaking. "For wanting me while you slept next to him."
Her ass was red, tears streaming, but her pussy was soaked. "tell me," he said, gripping her stinging cheeks. "How long you been wet for me? Did you touch yourself thinking of me?"
Isolde sobbed. "Years, Arthur! I'd lie next to Roderick. I'd rub myself, hating it but needing you!"
He smirked. "A queen turned into my slut. Now you're getting punished."
He pushed her to the bed. She tripped, landing on her knees. Arthur ripped off his shirt, showing his ripped chest, then dropped his pants. His cock was huge, hard, and dripping. Isolde's eyes went wide, a needy sound slipping out.
"On your knees," he ordered. She dropped, wrapping her lips around his dick, sucking hard. He groaned, grabbing her hair, fucking her mouth until she gagged. "Choke on it, traitor."
Her spit dripped as she moaned. He pulled her off with a wet pop, flipping her onto the bed on all fours. He smacked her ass twice— crack, crack —making her cry out.
"Arthur, it hurts!" she begged.
"Tough shit," he said, grabbing her hips. He slammed his cock into her wet pussy, all the way in one go.
"Fuck, Arthur!" she screamed, her tight walls stretching. He didn't wait, pounding her hard, his hips slapping her red ass, the wet slap-slap-slap loud.
"Take it," he growled, spanking her again—crack. "This is for betraying him. For wanting me." Another smack. "Say you're my dirty slut."
"I'm your slut, Arthur!" she wailed, shaking under him. "Always was—forgive me!"
He pulled her hair, fucking her harder. "You don't get forgiveness," he snarled, smacking her ass—crack. "But you'll take every inch."
Her tits bounced, brushing the sheets. Arthur reached down, rubbing her clit hard. "Cum for me. Show me you love your punishment."
"Arthur! Fuck, yes!" she screamed, her pussy squeezing him tight, soaking him as she came hard, shaking and crying.
He slammed in one last time, roaring, "Mine!" His cock pulsed, filling her with hot cum.
They collapsed, sweating, Arthur pinning her down. Her ass was red, dripping with their mess. Isolde looked at him, eyes soft. "I'm sorry, Arthur. I'm yours now."
He grinned, dark. "Damn right. Fuck up again, and I'll make this look gentle."

They crashed onto the bed, sweaty and out of breath, Arthur's strong arm holding her down. Her ass was red from his slaps, thighs wet with their cum. Isolde looked up, her violet eyes soft, totally giving in and full of worship for him.
"What happens now? The Coalition will expect me to keep feeding them information. My grandfather will want updates on the kingdom's defenses."
Arthur tightened his hold, protective. "Now you help me end this war before it destroys everything. But first..." He felt the tingling of evolution, power building within him. "First, I need to be strong enough to protect what's mine."

Arthur sat up slowly, amazed at how different he felt. Every movement was fluid, his senses sharper.
"My god," Isolde breathed, exploring his new physique. "What are you becoming?"
"Someone strong enough to protect those I care about," Arthur replied, his voice deeper and more authoritative. He got dressed, moving confidently. "The coronation will go as planned, but first, we need to eliminate the immediate threat."
He faced her, and Isolde shivered at his presence. This was no longer just a prince; this was a ruler stepping into his power.
"Your grandfather and his Coalition allies are about to learn what happens when they threaten my kingdom," Arthur declared. "And you, Isolde, will help me teach them."
The war for Lyranth was about to escalate, and Arthur Lionheart had become a far more formidable force than anyone had ever imagined.
Let them come, he thought, feeling the power settle within him. I'll show them what real strength looks like.
