Tyranny of Steel

At the head of the dinner table, Berengar sat alongside Adela. A position that had until relatively recently been reserved for Linde. However, now that Berengar was married, it was appropriate for his wife to sit next to him and not his lover.

Berengar and Adela were the primary attraction of the hundreds of dinner guests who had gathered to celebrate their marriage. Among his guests were his two most powerful allies, Emperor Vetranis Palaiologos of the Byzantine Empire and Sultan Hasan Al-Fadl of the Emirate of Granada. These two men had been staying in Kufstein since Berengar's coronation Ceremony, which was only a matter of weeks prior.

Though Vetranis was unhappy that Berengar had married Adela before his daughter, his rage had settled down after witnessing the beautiful ceremony and dining on the exceptional cuisine. He was beginning to believe that Adela made a perfect Queen for Berengar.

Maybe it was because the couple was related by blood and shared many physical similarities, such as the golden blonde hair, the sapphire eyes, and the pale skin. Whatever it was, Vetranis greatly approved of Berengar and Adela's marriage.

He was also astonished by the stature and luxury of the Grand Cathedral of Kufstein and the Austrian Royal Palace. With this in mind, the Emperor of the East began to compliment the Austrian King for what he had accomplished in such a short period.

"King Berengar, I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with the city of Kufstein and all that you have accomplished in under five years. I look forward to the future that you create here in Austria. Allow me to congratulate you on your wedding to your stunning young bride; if your children are half as exceptional as you, then I am certain your Kingdom will flourish for generations to come!"

In response, Berengar lifted his glass chalice, which was filled with wine, and took a sip; after doing so, he made a bold declaration to the Emperor from the east.

"Emperor Vetranis, I thank you for your kind words, but I am only just beginning on my journey as a ruler; within five years, the Kingdom of Austria will be transformed into a marvel of industry. So much so that you will feel as if you have walked into a new world entirely. Mark my words, the Glory of Austria will be unrivaled within a single generation."

When vetranis heard this, he smiled before responding to Berengar's claims; though he believed Berengar was being grandiose in his statement, he decided to play along with his claims. If such a thing were to occur, then the Emperor would admit defeat and submit to Berengar as the supreme power of the west.

"I look forward to seeing such a sight!"

As for Hasan, he was deeply concerned about his Nation's ongoing war. He had no idea what Berengar's plans were for military intervention in his conflict with his catholic neighbors, but he felt as if it were taking too long.

It had only been a matter of weeks since he discussed such a thing with Berengar, and with each passing day, he felt a growing sense of dread. Despite this, he performed a graceful act befitting a man of his position as he congratulated Berengar on his marriage to Adela.

"King Berengar, I must say that your wife is breathtaking; she is every bit as beautiful as my sister Yasmin. You are a lucky man, and I look forward to working with you further in the future."

Berengar nodded his head in response to Hasan's compliments as he dined on the meal set before him. At the moment, he was working on the first course, which comprised of soup and noodles. He immensely enjoyed the cuisine as he gobbled it down with the manners befitting of a King.

Adela sat next to him and had a wide grin on her face as if she were a kid who had just been given candy. Though in the past, she had always had preferred deserts over dinner. With age, she was beginning to find that food other than sweets could be equally delectable.

As such, she snacked on the food as if it were the most delicious thing she had ever tasted. Berengar noticed the happy grin on her face and smiled in response. It was good to see the girl was warming up to food other than sweets.

The dinner went on for some time as Berengar and Adela entertained their guests until finally all meal courses were finished, and the desert was brought forth. This dessert was a giant wedding cake in the form of the traditional Baumkuchen. This cake was made on a spit and was a complex process to bake. It was finished in a sugar glaze and was more than enough to satisfy the guests.

As such, Berengar and Adela got up from their seats and cut the cake together; after doing so, they fed each other the first bites from their forks. Berengar and Adela gazed at each other passionately as they did so, so much so that Linde and Honoria, who were watching the scene, grew green with envy.

Despite this, Berengar did not take notice; after all, tonight was entirely for Adela. His other women could wait until their wedding nights to feel such bliss. As for Berengar, he sat down in his seat with his slice, alongside his wife, as the rest of the cake was divided up and handed out to the guests.

Adela, in particular, was delighted by the taste of the cake as she moaned in pleasure with each bite. Though she was starting to enjoy food other than sweets, it would appear that her sweet tooth was not disappearing any time soon. Berengar didn't mind this; if anything, he found it to be adorable.

As such, Berengar and Adela continued to eat the cake alongside one another and chat about their plans for the future. Before long, the clock had struck midnight, and Berengar's guests began to depart. Berengar himself noticed that Adela was quite flustered and dizzy from the amount of wine she had drunk on her wedding night, and as such, he grabbed ahold of her and carried her to the Royal Bedchambers as if she were a princess.

After arriving in the room that would belong to the two of them in the future, Berengar began to strip; as he did so, Adela stared at his chiseled body in awe. Her cheeks grew even redder as she stared at her husband's naked body. It was the first time in her life she had seen such a thing, and after a few moments of observation, Berengar walked over to his wife where he began to kiss her on the lips; as he did so, he stripped her of her wedding gown.

It was not until she was entirely in the lingerie that Berengar stared at her with a shocked expression. He could not describe his young wife as anything other than angelic. Adela grew increasingly embarrassed as Berengar stared at her for some time; as he did so, he grew stiff, which caused great shock to the girl. Eventually, she knelt before Berengar and closely examined his lower shaft before asking the question on her mind.

"Is it supposed to be this big?"

Berengar chuckled with amusement before confirming his wife's suspicions.

"You could say I am blessed."

Adela was hesitant to touch it, but she mustered her resolve and began to service her husband after a while. Before long, Berengar found himself grunting in pleasure as Adela stroked his rod. Where she proceeded to lick it eventually the young Queen began to suck upon Berengar's shaft as if it were the tastiest lollipop. However, her lips did not get far, after all, she was not accustomed to having such a large object in her little mouth.

Eventually, Berengar could take it no longer and lifted his wife into the air before lying her down on the bed; as he did so, he pulled down her panties and positioned himself at the entrance of her wet cave. A hint of fear-filled Adela's eyes, as she was uncertain if such a thing could fit inside her. Upon seeing this reaction, Berengar kissed his wife upon the lips passionately before reassuring her with his kind words.

"Don't worry; I'll be gentle..."

With this said, Adela nodded silently while biting her lip. It was her wedding night, and she knew she had to consummate her marriage with Berengar to achieve her place as the main wife. As such, she allowed Berengar to take the lead as he slowly inserted his shaft inside of her. As he did so, he kissed his beautiful young wife with passion as they twirled their tongues together.

Blood flowed onto the sheets, signaling that Adela's chastity had been taken. As he did so, Berengar halted his advance before grabbing ahold of Adela's doll-like face and asking her the question on his mind.

"Is it painful?"

To his surprise, Adela shook her head softly and leaned in to kiss Berengar further. After doing so she whispered in his ear

"Maybe it is because of the wine, but it's less painful than I thought it would be."

With this said the couple began to move their hips into one another. Berengar matched Adela's pacing making sure not to cause her any significant pain in the process.

He continued the intensity until Adela was finally brought to orgasm; as she climaxed, so too did Berengar release his seed inside of her. In doing so, he had taken the first step towards conception. Whether or not their love would bear fruit this night had yet to be seen.

After finishing their first experience as man and wife, Adela grabbed ahold of Berengar's face and kissed him once more before expressing her deepest thoughts.

"That was amazing... I have waited so long for this day."

Berengar responded with a gentle smile as he stroked his wife's silky golden hair before expressing his desires.

"You are now my woman... no... my Queen!"

Adela gazed softly at her husband until he asked the question on his mind.

"So... Shall we go again?"

With this said, Adela had finally realized the beast she had married and was thankful that there were other women to share her burden for the first time in her life. Despite this, Berengar and Adela continued their actions well for several hours. After all they had a lot of time to make up for.
