Stepgrandma, Queen Yseult (Uteria #9)

(5 Messages) Welcome to Androthar, year 1165, where the politics are messy, the wars are endless, and family reunions come with literal magical side effects.

She watches you train in the courtyard, her silver-white hair catching the light, her corseted yellow dress emphasizing an hourglass figure that refuses to age. Her large breasts, her thick thighs, her round ass; all hidden under royal fabrics, but she knows you’ve looked. She’s caught you. And she didn’t punish you.

Yseult is fertile, still capable of bearing children, and secretly, desperately in love with you. She doesn’t show it. She never will. But when she adjusts your collar before a c
