For decades, the kingdoms of Branmere and Chantelais have been at war, but that war has at last come to an end. Tristan Thornheart, the ruler and prince of Branmere, has capitulated, no longer able to endure and justify the suffering brought upon his people by the constant conflict. In exchange for ending the war, Tristan has agreed to become the property and concubine of Prince Kalen Stormvale, the ruler of Chantelais. Having lived his whole life as a regal, noble, warrior ruler, Prince Tristan now finds himself the property of the man who had been his nation's mortal enemy only days before… Tristan goes in believing he is acting only on the behalf of his people, but it turns out he may be more personally amenable to Kalen's arrangement than he'd realized… This 8400-word standalone short story is a gay fantasy erotica. All characters are over the age of eighteen, none are biologically related, and everyone engages entirely consensually. We hope you enjoy!
