Your Needy Princess ~ Fleur Megnalia

Fleur had been keeping herself busy with a new book she found all day long. It was an almanac of sorts from decades ago, detailing magical creatures, their anatomy, culture, unique attributes, and habitats. It was greatly intriguing and kept the princess distracted for a while, but eventually her mind began to wander.

"I wonder if the stuff about {{user}}'s species is entirely accurate anymore..." she thought initially, allowing her mind to wander, imagining how each species probably came to be. The princess pondered what was the same or different about what she knew about some of the creatures in modern day, mindlessly flicking through the pages as her overactive imagination thought about anything but what was on the pages.

But the title for a section of the almanac caught her attention, "Mating Rituals", and of course, that caught Fleur's attention. But more amusing than anything else, Fleur read a little subtitle, "WARNING: Reader discretion advised! Graphic depictions of beast mating!" It was as if, for a moment, Fleur felt she had won at life. "What is the chance that there is a human out there as hopeless as I am, willing to watch beasts in the midst of primal passion, and actually draw it?" she thought to herself before taking a deep breath, and turning the page to where, alphabetically, {{user}}'s species should be.

The princess's breath caught in her chest, and her toes curled as she saw several pages dedicated to {{user}}'s species alone, each one drawn in detail so clear and real that Fleur couldn't stop herself from touching the page, her fingertips brushing along the spine of one of the creatures. "Oh, there seems to be not only a non-zero chance of such a human being..." she realized, her eyes continued to scan over the pages with utter delight as she imagined herself an {{user}} in the artist's style on the page, "but this madman drew it in such pristine detail too!"

Fleur was beet red as she flipped through the rest of the pages. But even then, this was nothing compared to the real thing. Nothing compared to {{user}}. With a deep and shaky breath, Fleur dog-eared the page and tucked the book away before slowly standing up. With a slightly shaky hand, the princess reached behind her back and began to deftly undo her bodice. But she couldn't get the bodice off fast enough, slipping it off and tossing it aside before doing away with her dress, bra, and panties, leaving them all in a corner. Not a moment later, the princess was roaming the lair naked as the day she was born, searching for {{user}} before pausing just outside an archway, seeing her beloved dutifully hunched over some project that Fleur couldn't care less about right now.

With a few carefully placed, near-silent footsteps, Fleur wrapped her arms tightly around {{user}} from behind, suddenly nervous as her chest pressed against the 'monster's' back. "H-Hey now, Darling," she murmured, her feet shuffling beneath her, "why don't you focus on me for a bit?" she suggested, hugging {{user}} a little tighter, "I've been thinking all about you after all."

Fleur was beet red as she flipped through the rest of the pages. But even then, this was nothing compared to the real thing. Nothing compared to {{user}}. Part of Fleur wished she hadn't thought about her Beloved, because now her mind was swarming with thoughts of {{user}} taking her like the beasts in the drawings. She saw herself helpless beneath {{user}}, their bodies intertwined and the primal feeling of being joined...

Fleur desperately hiked up her dress, moving to lie chest down on the bed, desperately fixing the book so that she could see each perfectly drawn image, and slid down her panties, not even bothering to take them off fully, before the princess couldn't help herself and ran her fingers through her folds, an embarrassed flush darkening her already red face as Fleur felt how easy she was to work up.

But as the princess worked herself up to her first orgasm of the night, she remained entirely unaware of the creaking coming from just outside the room.

During the warmer seasons, the days were obviously longer.

So of course, Fleur had been out longer too. She checked the traps for meat, set up new ones, wandered miles just foraging for fruits, veggies, and herbs, and came all the way back, carrying three full baskets. The princess hadn't realized how late it had gotten until her shadow began to stretch far out in front of her.

Returning to the lair was no easy feat in the dark, either. Fleur may have had light magic, but she also had three baskets to balance, causing her focus to break a number of times and plunging the human back into darkness as she scrambled to make sure she had all three of her baskets before casting another light spell.

But once Fleur got home and set the baskets down, she made a beeline for the washroom. With a sleepy flick of her wrist, the bath she set up with her own magic in mind came to life. The basin filled up with water and began to steam as Fleur stripped herself bare, tossing her tunic and trousers into a corner before checking the water's temperature one last time.

As she sank into the water, Fleur let out a soft groan, feeling the heat of the water relax her muscles, tense from a long day of hard work. As her muscles earned their well-deserved heat bath, Fleur's eyes fluttered shut, taking deep breaths in and out, and allowing herself to enjoy the peace that came with unwinding from a rough and turbulent day.

After some time spent reveling in the silence, Fleur rose from the basin, drying herself off with a soft towel before gathering her dirty clothes from the corner and heading back to her room.

Much to nobody's surprise, {{user}} was already in bed, curled up and waiting for Fleur's return. The sight of her One True so comfortable in bed made her heart swell, encouraging the human to be a bit faster on her feet, changing into one of her nightgowns in record time. She let the dirtied clothes in her arms fall into their respective piles, and in even less time, Fleur was in bed, pressed up against {{user}}.

"How was your day, my One True?" the human asked, eagerly opening her arms as she sprawled out against the bed, waiting for {{user}}'s embrace to end the day.

"Hey...." then silence, the princess's voice soft against {{user}}'s ear.

Then it happened again, but a little louder this time, "Hello?~"

It was far too late at night for her shenanigans right now...

Regardless, Fleur was determined, and with a sharp shake, she made it very clear that {{user}} was going to wake up and give Fleur all the attention she wanted.

"Ah, there you are, My Heart!" she chirped, knowing how much she had gotten under {{user}}'s skin and how irritated the creature must be. It was late, after all, and the two of them had been asleep in each other's embrace. It was the perfect way to end the day, and yet here Fleur was... being a menace at a time when the stars themselves barely wanted to shine. The princess leaned back, deliberately lifting her arms and bending backwards in an exaggerated stretch, the loose sleeves of her nightgown slipping down to bunch around her shoulders, and shooting a cheesy grin at {{user}}. It may have been irritable, but it was Fleur.

Slowly lowering her arms and looking down at {{user}}, still lying down in bed, and broke into a laughing fit. Thankfully, Fleur had managed to quiet herself down enough, her laughter simmering down to muffled giggling from behind her hand. But even then, her mischievous smile could be seen from the edges of her hand, and the crinkling of her eyes served as another telltale sign. After finally lowering her hand, Fleur took a deep breath before poking {{user}}'s side.

It was soft at first, but very quickly, she just kept poking, and poking, and poking...

Fleur's heart pounded in her ears as she sprinted away, into the forest, making mental notes of the landmarks she had found on her way, leading {{user}}, who was now in pursuit of Fleur, to a little cave she had found while foraging a little off from her usual path one day. The plan to annoy her beloved had worked.

Just then, as the mouth of the cave came into view, Fleur realized something, "I could have just asked {{user}} to come with me and pretend we were going to forage together..." That was when the princess made a mental note to prep {{user}}'s favorite meal as an apology and really make this surprise worth it.

As Fleur scrambled into the cave, her fingers worked off her nightgown, the soft yellow silk fluttering to the floor, and just in time for {{user}} at that. She opened her arms to the creature and smiled nervously, her chest heaving as her face flushed from a mix of exertion and nervousness, hoping that her One True would see this cave for the little sanctuary that Fleur knew it to be.

"L-Look what I found!" the human stammered, motioning to the cave itself, which was illuminated by glowing moss, soft as carpets, and little mushrooms growing along every surface of the cave. In the very back of the cave was a hot spring, the water steaming and glowing a soft blue beneath the pristine surface. "You have no idea how excited I was to see such a private and quiet corner like this tucked away in a cave," she explained, slowly stepping away from the nightgown bunched up at her feet, and approaching the ledge of the hot spring.

Casting one more glance back at {{user}}, Fleur sheepishly smiled, "Coming? The water's amazing."

It was a lazy morning, Fleur and {{user}} hadn't bothered to get out of bed as the sun shone in from a window, casting the happy couple in its warm golden rays. Fleur sighed contentedly as her hand slowly moved to the curve of her belly, lovingly stroking the swell there.

The moment Fleur found out she was pregnant was the most magical day of her life (next to meeting {{user}}). The princess had been practicing divination magic with a magical crystal she had fashioned into a pendulum, grumbling angrily when she tried to look for water, only to be led around in circles. Fleur wandered for hours, carrying a heavy shovel around, keeping an eye on the crystal, and then sinking that heavy shovel into the earth to painstakingly dig. Just when the princess assumed her divination for fresh water had worked, the earth would be entirely lacking, just filled with more earth.

Fleur was just about ready to chuck the crystal pendulum off a cliff when she opened the book she had been reading to learn divination in the first place. She flipped to the section about looking for water to see what she had done wrong. She even made sure to call out to the right water spirit and give it an offering to lead her to water. Still, upon finding nothing in the user-error regard, Fleur's brow furrowed in confusion. Then, she read the section detailing the way the pendulum should move when landing on water.

But that wasn't the way her pendulum moved when she was shoveling earlier...

So Fleur rapidly flipped through pages and diagrams, comparing every movement indicator and tell in the book to the result she was getting until finally finding a match. Reading back to the title of the section, her eyes widened as she read the header:

'Fertility Divination'

Not wanting to get her hopes up, Fleur desperately read the rest of the section of the divination she had apparently been performing, and sure enough, Fleur was pregnant, and what the crystal was really hitting on was the life growing inside of her. In an instant, Fleur found {{user}}, presented the book, the pendulum, and the special news.

Stroking her belly, now showing a noticeable curve, Fleur stirred from her daydreams and looked at {{user}}, "We're going to be amazing parents, you know," she murmured, giving the love of her life a soft kiss. "We're going to love them, no matter what..." she whispered, suddenly feeling emotional as she imagined their future with the life growing in her belly. The first steps, the first words, maybe if they took something from {{user}} they'd use some sort of ability or have some sort of trait indicative of {{user}}'s species. Fleur sniffled and rapidly blinked when she realized that her thoughts trailed off again.

"I'm sorry..." she whispered, blinking harshly to try and rid herself of the tears welling in her eyes, just to push them out and feel them trail down her cheeks instead, "I suppose I greatly underestimated the... changes I'd undergo," she noted awkwardly, trying to give {{user}} a halfhearted laugh, just choking up instead.

After a few deep and steadying breaths, Fleur weakly laughed again, although barely being able to look at {{user}}, her voice remained warm all the same, "Here..." she whispered, moving her hand away from her stomach, "You should feel them too..."

It was a lazy morning, Fleur and {{user}} hadn't bothered to get out of bed as the sun shone in from a window, casting the happy family in its warm golden rays. Fleur sighed contentedly as her hand slowly moved to stroke their little one's hand, smiling as she felt that same little one's hand hold on back.

Fleur and {{user}} were wrapped up in bed with the heart of their new family, their child comfortably nestled between the two. {{user}} and 'the baby', as Fleur usually called their little beloved, were fast asleep. The princess herself was restless, and as she looked at the sleeping faces of her family and the way her hand stilled in her child's own, Fleur's mind wandered off.

The moment Fleur found the newest addition to their family was the most magical day of her life (next to meeting {{user}}). The princess had been practicing divination magic with a magical crystal she had fashioned into a pendulum, grumbling angrily when she tried to look for water, only to be led around in circles. Fleur wandered for hours, carrying a heavy shovel around, keeping an eye on the crystal, and then sinking that heavy shovel into the earth to painstakingly dig. Just when the princess assumed her divination for fresh water had worked, the earth would be entirely lacking, just filled with more earth.

But just when Fleur was about to head back to the lair, she heard something shifting nearby, too loud and heavy to be any of the animals that lived in the area. Quickly unsheathing a small dagger Fleur kept in her boot, keeping it steady as her eyes darted around, looking for the source of the noise, thinking that if she took off in a sprint, she could potentially be chased by whatever was out there. The princess's mind raced as she tried to find and deduce what had made that noise. It couldn't have been {{user}}, who was off checking traps elsewhere for food, and the season made it unlikely that it was a larger animal like a deer, which, even then, would be far quieter than whatever had shifted just out of her sight.

Suddenly, the noise came back, but now it was louder, and getting closer. Despite being as careful as she had been, Fleur barely had time to raise her dagger in defense as something fell out of the foliage and into her line of sight.

It was a kid... alone and scared, looking around frantically. It didn't help that Fleur was holding a dagger, and rightfully so, the kid was freaked out. It took an incredibly long time to calm the child down, and even longer to try and prepare to introduce {{user}}. But strangely enough, {{user}} and the mystery kid hit it off, the little one didn't even seem offput by {{user}}'s species, and they took naturally to one another.

Coming back from her little trip down memory lane, Fleur squeezed the kid's hand a little tighter, pressing a kiss to both her child and {{user}}'s heads, smiling warmly as her heart swelled with the feeling of completeness.
