Chapter Four:That Evening

For the period I have worked in the palace, each princess in the kingdom was allocated eight maids. They were charged with taking care of the respective princess.

Princess TT was not an exception she had Imani and seven other maids who looked after her. Imani being her favorite of all they were best friends and confidants. They shared secrets and they safeguarded them as secrets.

When I began dating Imani I knew princess TT was going to know Imani took an initiative to introduce me to her and I remember that day vividly. We had an evening hangout just after finishing my daily tasks in one of the posh castles in the south of the kingdom, the castle that was built on top of a stream from where you could appreciate how nature was created.

She was as humble as a servant though I doubted how humble she was. By that time she was dating the Prince of the neighboring Lwanya kingdom who failed to marry her on allegation of what he termed as general misconduct by princess TT just after some two weeks into their dating.

That was the very first time in many years I had an opportunity to interact with princess TT at a personal level because male servants were not allowed to get closer to the princess. Sometimes, you could turn and look in the opposite direction whenever any of the princesses was passing by. Other princes tried their luck to marry her but all did not go well.

Rumors have it that the so-called general misconduct by the princess was just a cover-up term to exactly what was happening to the princess. Princess TT was a pangender with adopted tomboy-like behaviors. I all remembered everything I had heard about the princess before and now It was in the evening and we are to spend a night together as the newly wedded couples.

What if I didn’t like what I saw?

What if the rumors were true?

Would she harass me sexually?

Would she have male reproductive organs and if that is the case what am I going to do?

Don’t be ridiculous, I told myself and decided to hold my worries and wait since that was the only available solution at my disposal. I even had no idea of exactly where we are except knowing like it was an island.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped signaling that we had reached our destination. Princess TT stepped out of the carriage and offered me her hand. I felt bad and ashamed, I didn’t like being in that state but I remembered It was not my duty to like or dislike anything here. I was now “a wife.”I took her hand, and she helped me down.

The castle was grand and the garden even more luxurious, with green bushes and colorful flowers. The castle was made of Ivory walls and several tall, rectangle towers. The towers were connected by large ridges and church-like windows reflecting with the best mix of colors. In front of the castle was a big water fountain surrounded by grass and bushed in all kinds of art. Different types of flowers are scattered symmetrically across the garden. They created beautiful scenery.

Three men appeared in royal robes, approached us from a social distance.

“We came to welcome you and your husband”, they spoke in unison as they came close to where we were standing. I later came to learn that they were her “brothers” who have never gone beyond the secret palace. After a short moment of conversation, they requested us to join them for a dinner. Before that, they demanded to have a close look at me which the princess allowed them and they went around me in slow-motion as if they were operated using robotic technology. They murmured words as they went around me in a language I didn’t understand, maybe it was similar to the biblical speaking in tongues by the disciples of Jesus Christ on the day of Pentecost. We were only five of us at the dinner table but different foods arrived in their quantities as if it was a party attended by thirty people.

Anyway, that is how life is lived in the kingdom.

Even after a long day full of activities she looked strong and not tired but sleeping time was just about. We strode through the well-lighted halls holding each other's hands though I could feel like she gripped my fingers with more energy. Two maids appeared before us.

”Her Highness,” they greeted with a bow."

With your permission, we would like to prepare His Highness.”They inquired.

I felt disgusted and asked myself between me and her who is a woman? Who was supposed to be prepared? She agreed and instructed them to bring me to room 305 afterward.

The maids gave me a signal to follow them and led me to the dressing room where I was shocked again to find the three brothers we had dinner together. They helped me get out of my wedding robes and slip into a well-knitted and sized-to-fit red nightgown with its matching robe, both made of fine silk. I loved the way it looked on me though I didn’t like its color, it was too red and red color means danger to me. They then nourished my skin with expensive perfumes.

Boom! I was served a drink that as per them would help me relax after a whole day of activities. For the first time, I questioned loudly with anxiety all over my face.

”What is it exactly ?”One of the brothers replied,” Just a herb.”

They showed me a gloomy face when I seemed resistant to take the glass to my mouth and they took the glass from and each of them gave me the assurance that the herb was safe for consumption and had no negative side effects on me. They both took a sip and returned the glass to me before I took a sip as well.

We arrived in one of the rooms that I believed will be our matrimonial sleeping room. I sat on the bed alone; Princess TT  was missing but was told he went to refresh and she will be joining me shortly.

”Since when did as male counterpart wait for his female counterpart on their matrimonial bed?”I questioned her absence. Anyway, maybe this was the true manifestation of the saying that a woman should keep a man waiting. I loved reading during my free time and this time I bumped upon a book by the title “How To Stay In The Secret palace” actually It wasn’t a book per se but some kind of well-printed manual of about forty pages volume. The majority of the content was written in bold letters with three different highlightings: red, blue, and grey. My passion for reading led me to read the book but I didn’t go far in reading it since I didn’t want the princess to find me reading it as I suspected this to be too secretive. Therefore, I mastered the art of scanning through the content in bold writing and the highlighted once as well. Before  I finished scanning the whole volume, the door finally opened and it was princess TT. I tried to look through the door and it seemed she had come alone since there was no presence of either a guard or a maid behind her. Closing the door behind her she stood there for a while, studying me with her blue eyes before approaching me slowly.

“Aren’t you tired my hubby?” she asked standing a few meters away.

“I am, your Highness.”

“My Wife,” she corrected.

“Yes my wife,” I repeated, in barely a whisper.

She lay down on the bed next to where I sat.”I am tired too.”I watched her eyes at some angle she couldn’t notice. She faced the south and starred at the writings on the walls for about two minutes as if she was a robot waiting for the next instruction until I tossed her by the left alongside.

”What is that my wife?”I asked her politely.

”It is a special prayer” she replied.

”What language is that?”I asked after trying to read but all in vain.

”Special language” she replied smiling.

My questions were now becoming too many so I preserved others for another special time. The session ahead was not a Q&A. It was time to make love.

The atmosphere between us was getting tense as only my heartbeat was the only thing that could tell. My body was getting hotter and hotter each passing moment despite the small distance between us. She noticed that and pretended to care so much.

”Beb just lies down so you can rest,” Princess TT said. I suddenly recalled the herb I was given and I linked it to my body temperatures and everything that was happening to my body as far emotions and feelings are concerned. I walked around and opened the door that was leading to the bathroom since the temperatures were now intense and a shower could do me justice. The bathroom had a big bathtub that could accommodate two people and also a  hot and cold shower. On the left side of the bathroom, there was a toilet. My situation was getting worse as I continued to shower myself with litter after litters of cold water.

“Knock Knock,” I heard some knock on the bathroom door as if someone wanted to confirm if another person was inside. The knocks persisted and I decided to open it by pressing the open button on the wall. It was obvious who it was. A beautiful but masculine princess TT stood straight at the middle of the door in a short and sexy bikini as if she was just about to participate in a swimming competition.

“Welcome my princess,”

“You look beautiful, I have never witnessed such beauty before” I had to be romantic or I must say my brain was already convinced. Besides, my condition was worsening and my small animal was starting to call for attention. She joined me in the bathtub and I felt her boobs pressing harder on my chest and I felt a sweet sensation passing through my whole body.

I couldn’t resist any longer as she started kissing me as I kissed back. At first, the kiss was slow and passionate but as it progressed it became aggressive and demanding.

Princess TT was kissing my lips hungrily as if there was no tomorrow. She sucked my lips hard making while moaning loudly. I was also sucking and biting and nibbling her lips tenderly.

“Honey, your lips are so soft I feel like eating them” I lacked words, I kept on sucking and biting her lips too.

She pressed the button and the water level in the bath tab came down exposing our bodies so open and I could admire how she was created. I went lower and kissed her neck tressing her lips then sucking and bitting earning another moan from her.

“Are those rumors true?” a thought triggered in my mind. I wanted to confirm. I  went lower and sucked a spot just behind her ears which were very sensitive making her moan loudly. At least I was now overpowering her, I was now a man and no longer a woman in a man's body. I felt some sense of control and dominance. I went further until I reached her boobs which were so inviting and calling for my attention. I kissed around the area the left boob then suddenly licked her nipple making her moan graduate to vibrating internally. Her legs were growing weaker and I could push them around without any difficulties I could tell she was feeling itchy between her legs and she was dripping wet that she tried to close her legs tighter but it was not helping anything at all.
