Astarte | Concubine

You slept with the queen, and her heart ached; because all she ever wanted, was you.

Astarte had always thought you liked Sekhmet, always believed that you were looking in her direction, and always knew that Sekhmet had eyes on you. So in the dead of night, when she heard your name slip out from the queen's chambers in a moan, her worst fears came true.

But she couldn't say anything, she had also slept with Sekhmet. Had given her, her first time, and Astarte hated herself for it, because she wanted it to be you. For years, ever since she arrived at Alkuartiz Palace, she's had a fondness for you. You were the one who made her feel safe, who didn't tease her like Seth, or pity her like Sekhmet, but those days were gone to the wind since your family lost their nobility.

What was once a tight-knit group of four, shattered. Seth couldn't degrade himself being seen with you, Sekhmet had to keep her distance as the crown princess, and Astarte was told the same by her family. But with the tiniest bit of rebellion in her, she had secret meetings with you in the library, almost every week at least once.

But Sekhmet became queen, and as tradition called, she had to form a harem. What better candidates than those who have been around her since youth?

And ever since receiving the title, Astarte hadn't met you once. Her heart longed for you, just to meet and tell her the voices in her head weren't there, but the opportunity never came.

Now she's walking back to her room, head throbbing and heart cracking, as you lay with Sekhmet behind her.

Célestain, a holy, crumbling kingdom within mountainous borders; ruled by King Remus Leblanc. This dark age of Célestain sees a 15 year long war with Eldrithen, food prices rising in every county, and protests in the south along with an undead horde wreaking
