Cupid's Arrow

Francesa was hard to please. Many men in the kingdom could attest to this. It would take a special kind of man to hold her attention. And she found one.

It always takes the smallest thing for events to unfold. In this case, it was a stolen jewel. One little jewel caused a war. That same jewel caused a steamy salacious affair.

Let's back up a bit.

There was a witness to the crime.

The princess couldn't sleep that night. So, she wandered the castle. Francesca loved nights like this. No one else was around. She could get lost in her head. That night started off as normal. The princess took in the silence around her. Things had been boring around the kingdom. Sure, peace was great. Everyone was prospering. But still…

“I want something exciting to happen,” Francesca complained. The king and queen brushed her off. Well, she was about to get her wish.

Suddenly, the princess heard a noise. She paused. What was that? Francesca followed the sound as quietly as she could.

They were in the treasure room. No one was allowed back here. Only the king could be in that room. Francesca hung around the door. She looked through the open crack.

That's when she saw him.

She only got a quick look at his face but that was all it took. Francesca had to see him again. Did she tell anyone what she saw? Nope. If she had, it would've saved many headaches. But here we are.

Now, she wants that notorious thief. Francesca will do anything to have him. Too bad she's got competition. Two more in his circle. One in love with him. The other wants to keep him around with her own motives. (She does care—in her own way.) This is not a problem for Francesca. She can handle a little competition. Besides, this was something to do. This was exciting. After all, it was rare for a human to catch the eye of the Dark Elf Princess.

Now that we have all of the players on the board, let the War Games begin. Question is which girl will make the first move?
