Back in the Capital City of Tairal, Rya slowly opened her eyes with satisfaction. She was done letting the Duke dictate her future.

Rya had a feeling that the Duke was going to try to take over the Kingdom, but she didn't know how. Her best guess was to use the Minor Nobles to cause a coup by riling up the citizens, but that wouldn't be enough to take the capital. No, there had to be more to his plans than that. Sure, having an unconventional force helps to make things confusing on the battlefield, but he would need an army of his own to achieve his goals. And that's when she had a bad feeling that he was getting support from the neighboring kingdoms. But which ones?

Rya sighed and looked around her mother's solarium, where she was in the middle of training Nieren on using a Vine Trap magical attack. It was the same attack Yuliana used on Rya when she first met her back in Ironside.

'Come on, Nieren... You've finally been able to get flowers to grow, but it takes too long to use them in a real fight.' Rya thought while sitting in her seat, watching Nieren channeling her mana through her hands and lips.

In the dimly lit room, Nieren practiced the ancient magical technique passed down to her by Rya. Away from their mother's watchful gaze, she struggled to grasp the intricacies of her own magical abilities. Rya believed that casting spells without uttering a single word would come more naturally to Nieren, considering she was still finding it awkward to vocalize the enchantments.

"Mom... I'm not getting anywhere with this." Nieren sighed, looking a little tired from all the channeling she'd been doing.

"Maybe you should try speaking the incantation... I don't know where this pride for silent spellcasting comes from," Yuliana said, raising an eyebrow at her daughter. "Your grandaunt always had an issue with her magical abilities because she thought it was weak and useless. It wasn't until she spent time in the Great Forest of Lorelle that she understood her power. You could benefit from going to a forest yourself."

"Pff! I'd rather use my enchanted cloak and bow than talk to the plants like a crazy lady." Nieren huffed, crossing her arms as she turned her head.

Rya sighed as she got up from her seat.

"You're not a crazy lady, sister. And you can make smaller plants grow with your hands, so there's nothing wrong with your abilities. You just need to work harder." Rya said, walking over to her.

Nieren sulked as Rya's words hit home. Admitting that her younger sister was right was the last thing she wanted to do.

"Listen Nieren... You have to infuse your feelings into your mana when casting your spells. If you can do that then your magical abilities will strengthen." Yuliana said, walking behind her daughter. "And the fact that you are learning how to control your mana means you're on the right track."

"How the hells is infusing my feelings into my mana supposed to help me get better at this?!" Nieren cried, clenching her fists. "I've tried that and nothing happens."

"Sister... Maybe if there's something you are passionate about. Try using those feelings as a catalyst." Rya suggested.

"W-What are you talking about? I'm not going to start fantasizing about my prin-I mean, some boy in my head," Nieren said, turning bright red.

"Nieren... There are many things that people are passionate about. And even though you're embarrassed, maybe think of something you want. Then imagine it happening in your mind," Rya said, trying to be encouraging. "Like when I first met Yuliana, who thought I was there to kill you both."

"Tch!... That's easy for you to say... You're good at everything, including magic." Nieren said, shaking her head.

"I wouldn't say that... And stop making excuses," Rya said, giving her a stern look.

Nieren glared at her adopted sister and an idea popped into her head.

'In my fantasies when I'm about to have my way with Quinus, you always come into my fantasy to tie me up and embarrass me in front of my prince before he takes me! I know it's not real but I wonder what it would look like to have you tied up by my vines and being humiliated,' Nieren thought, smirking. Her mana flowed to the palms of her hands and she set it to the trap vine bulb sitting on the table next to them.

"Ummm... Sister, why are you grinning like that?" Rya asked, confused.

"Shhh!... I think my mana is finally responding." Nieren said, excitedly.

"Huh?! Well, that's great. Now you just need to focus on talking to the plant and tell it to move across the table." Yuliana said, rubbing her shoulders.

"I'll do better than that, Mother. Watch this." Nieren said, smiling as her mana began to change. "Oh, trap vine, feel my power and grow into my bonds."

The bulb glowed brightly and a single thick green vine sprouted out of it and wrapped itself around Rya's legs. Yuliana was confused about what her daughter was doing and Rya looked at her older sister with a raised brow and smiled.

"You still have a lot to learn, sister," Rya said as her eyes glowed. She sent her mana into the plant, which overrode her sister's control.

'Reverse attack,' Rya thought as she willed the plant to wrap itself around her sister's legs.

"Ahhhh!" Nieren screamed, startled.

"That wasn't so hard, now was it?" Rya said, smiling.

Yuliana stepped back as the plant began to wrap around Nieren's arms stopping her from grabbing her knife.

"Rya! I'm not ready for this!" Nieren screamed, panicking.

"Nieren... Don't be such a baby. You need to reconnect with your plant and feel the connection you have with your mana," Rya said while turning around to walk away.

"Sis! What did you do? Please don't leave me like this!" Nieren yelled out as the vines started to wrap around her neck and waist.

"I sensed that your attack wasn't lethal so I reversed the flow of the mana inside the vine and had the vine turn against you. Now stop freaking out and just reconnect with your mana. That's all you have to do," Rya said as she walked towards the door.

The vines slowly moved toward the Wood Elf's loins underneath her black skirt of her retainer's uniform.

"Rya! Please... Stop this!" Nieren called out in fear as she tried to calm herself down.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Rya asked, teasing her.

'N-No! It's like my fantasies...' Nieren thought, feeling the vines rub against her pussy lips through her black panties.

"Come on, Nieren... Your sister has given you a good test! You commanded it once, and you can do it again!" Yuliana shouted as the vines wrapped themselves around Nieren's thighs and ass.

"Mother!" Nieren yelped in annoyance. "Rya, you've had your fun. Please stop this. I'll be able to command the vines in a bit, so please!"

"No can do, Sis! You need to learn to communicate with the plants and your warrior spirit seems to be the best way to get through to you... Hey, Mom? Do you want to have some tea with me?... I'm not sure how long it's going to take Nieren to get herself free," Rya said.

The green haired wood elf's ears perked up when her adopted daughter asked her for some tea. She's been so busy with training them that she hasn't been spending as much quality time with her daughter.

"Sounds lovely," Yuliana said, nodding.

"What!? Your not going to leave me here like this?" Nieren screamed in a panic.

"You'll be fine, Sis. Just take deep breaths and concentrate on the vines... Remember to become one with the plant," Rya said.

Nieren let out a whimper as the vines pulled her to the ground and she was on her knees.

"Okay, dear... I believe in you. I'll see you later. Try to relax and not struggle," Yuliana said as she and Rya left the solarium.

"I'll get you back for this, Rya! Ahh!" Nieren shouted at her, before her mind was overcome with pleasure.

Nieren felt the vine's tip poke into her clit and started rubbing her panties against her pussy lips. She tried to struggle free but two more vines wrapped around her breasts and squeezed them gently through her black blouse. Nieren's face became beet red as the vines rubbed against her clit, and her panties got wetter as the plant's tip continued to play with her pussy.

"Mmmm," she moaned, feeling the vine's tip rub harder on her pussy, while two more vines slid up her shirt exposing her pretty abs.

Nieren's breath hitched and she gasped in pleasure as her tits were groped by the two vines.

"Mmm..." she groaned, biting her bottom lip. Her nipples were poking through the thin fabric, and the vines continued to squeeze her breasts, causing her to moan loudly.

'F-Fucus! AUGH! How the hells am I supposed to command the vines to stop when I can't concentrate?... Shit, I'm about to cum...' Nieren thought.

Her legs were spread open, and the vine rubbed harder and faster while the other two were still squeezing her breasts.

"Fuck..." she mumbled, her face was flushed, and her body trembled as her orgasm came closer.

'C-Concentrate! Concentrate! I need to—Huh? M-My Prince?'

Nieren's mind was getting hazy and her imagination began running wild.

She suddenly saw a man's figure appear above her. It was Quinus with his short brownish red hair, and golden eyes that seemed to shine like the sun. He was wearing a black cloak and a red scarf around his neck.

"M-My Prince!"

"Nieren... I missed you..." he said softly.

"H-How? How are you here?" she asked.

"It doesn't matter... What matters is that I'm here for you, my love..."

Quinus smiled and kissed her.

'Mmmm!'

Nieren felt his tongue slip into her mouth. It was so warm, and sweet. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of being kissed. But in reality it was a vine rubbing against her lips and then forcing its way into her mouth. She accepted it without hesitation, letting the vine explore every inch of her mouth.

'Ahhh...'

It was so big and long. She could feel it probing around her cheeks, her teeth, and her tongue.

"You're so beautiful Nieren..."

Quinus whispered in her ear.

"Mmm..."

'This is not the prince. He doesn't even look like him. But... But I want him to be him!' Nieren's thoughts were filled with the fantasy of Prince Quinus. She knew it was wrong to covet the prince, but she couldn't help it.

"Mmmm... Ahhh..."

Her pussy was getting wetter and wetter. She could feel the vine inside her starting to slide deeper, pushing against her walls.

"A-Ahh... My Prince..."

"Nieren..."

The Prince's hand touched her cheek gently.

"I love you."

'I love you too... Mmmm... So much.'

The vines wrapped around her wrists and tied her hands above her head. She opened her eyes and saw the Prince's smiling face looking down at her.

"I want to make love to you."

Nieren's heart skipped a beat.

"Y-Yes!"

The Prince nodded and began undressing.

"Ahh... Ahh... P-Please, my Prince. Be gentle."

He removed his shirt, revealing a muscular chest covered in scars.

'Those scars are proof of his valor.'

"Don't worry, my love. I'll take care of you."

Nieren was breathing heavily, her face was bright red, and her eyes were wide open.

"A-Are you ready?"

"Y-Yes."

She nodded and closed her eyes again.

'I'm going to die!'

The Prince's hands gripped her thighs and spread them apart. He positioned himself between her legs and rubbed his cock against her pussy lips.

"Mmm... Please, my Prince. Fuck me."

"With pleasure, my love."

"Mmm!"

The Prince pushed himself inside her.

"Ooohhh... Mmmm..."

"You're so tight. It feels so good."

"Ohhh..."

'It's so big... He's filling me up completely. He's stretching me wide open.'

"Mmm... I'm going to move now."

"Yes, my Prince."

"Ahhhh..."

Nieren moaned loudly as the Prince began pumping his cock in and out of her pussy. But in reality the Trap Vine blub was fucking her brains out and all she could see was the fake image of Prince Quinus.

"Ahhh! Aaaahhhh! Ahhhh!"

The Trap Vine's tentacles moved around her body, wrapping themselves around her waist and legs.

"Mmmm... Mmmm! Ooohhh! Ahhhh!

The Prince leaned down and kissed her neck.

"You're mine, my love."

"Y-Yes. I'm yours. Only yours."

"Good."

"Ahhhh... You're gonna cum, aren't you?"

"Mmmm... Yeah, I'm close. Just a little more. I trying not to break your hymen."

"Oooohhh! Ahhh! Yes!"

"Cum for me, my beautiful elf."

"AAAHHHHHH!"

She screamed and arched her back, her orgasm washing over her. This was way better than using her hand to get herself off.

'This is what sex with a man is like?'

The vines held her in place as the Prince continued thrusting his hips.

'I-I'm becoming one with the Prince!'

"I'm gonna cum too!"

"C-Cum inside me! Give me your seed!"

"Yes! Yes!"

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!"

Nieren climaxed and her body twitched and shook as her pussy contracted around the Prince's cock.

"Gaaahhhh..."

'It's too much! I can't handle this! I'm loosing~Augh~My mind~Uuuuhhh!'

"Ahhhh!"

The Prince groaned and thrust his hips forward. The vines were simulating what the Prince's cock would do and Nieren climaxed hard again. She didn't realize that her mana had connected with the Trap Vine blub and it was trying to imitate a real human's cock and was pumping its own mana into Nieren's pussy.

'So hot! So good! I'm dying! I'm~'

"Aaaaahhhh!... I'm gonna~Ahhhh..."

The vine retracted itself from Nieren's pussy. Her fluids flowed out of her opening, dripping down her thighs and onto the ground. She was in heaven as the vines held her up, making her stand upright.

Her vision went white and her ears started ringing.

'No more... I'm going insane. If he does that again, I might~'

"I love you." Quin's voice whispered to her.

'I can't say it.' Nieren thought as her vision was returning.

"I know you don't feel the same. Since you like to hide from us," Quinus teased her.

'I can't... It's impossible... Rya wouldn't approve...'

"Thank you for sharing this with me."

'He's so sweet!... And—hey!? Where did my Prince go?'

Nieren's mind was regaining it's clarity after coming down from her high. The imaginary Quin disappeared and she saw the Trap Vines all over her body.

"By the Spirits! Grrr!... Get off me, you damn things! Whoa!"

*Thud!*

Nieren's butt hit the hardwood floor abruptly when the vines released her.

"Ow... Wait!? D-Did you listen to me?" Nieren questioned the vines that were receding into the bulb.

Nieren watched as a vine nodded in her direction.

"No way!" Nieren exclaimed and crawled towards the bulb sitting on the table.

'How could that be possible? I've tried connecting with these things for the past week and it never worked!'

"So you understand me?" Nieren asked as she stood up and got a closer look at the large brown bulb that had a few small vines moving around it.

*Nod*

"Can you do more than just nod?" Nieren asked.

*Shake*

Nieren couldn't believe it. She felt the connection to this plant as of it was an extension of herself. She looked around the rest of the solarium and she channeled her mana out to some of the potted plants and within seconds they began to bloom and grow a bit.

"Wow!" Nieren gasped as she looked around the room at all the different plants growing rapidly. "You guys can really help me out, can't you?"

Nieren looked back at the bulb back on the table.

*Nod*

"Nice!... Now I should be able to get back at Sis! I just need... Huh?"

Nieren got interrupted when the Trap Vine blub started shooting out green vines from its top. They weren't long as it grew to about 14-inches long as smaller vines wrapped around it. Nieren watched as the vines started taking the shape of a penis and balls.

'I-Is it creating my Prince's manhood? What I'm the hells is going on here?'

The vines had formed a decent-looking penis and scrotum. The vines were the same shape as Quinus' cock but it was green instead of human colors. Nieren had to admit it was quite the sight. It was like the bulb could see her memories and made the cock look the way she'd remembered when sneaking a peek in her sister fucking Quin in their bedroom one time.

'Is the Trap Vine going to try and fuck me with this?'

The bulb shook.

'What was that for? Hold on?... When I said you guys could help me out, did you think I meant this? Creating my Prince's manhood?'

The Trap Vine bulb nodded.

'You thought this was what I was looking for?'

*Nod*

"Pfft!... How is this supposed to help me?" Nieren questioned while waving her hand dismissively and looking away like she was above its offer.

After a few seconds her eyes slowly glanced at the penis-shaped vine and her breathing picked up a bit. Her heart started pounding a bit as her mind filled with thoughts about what the cock would feel like.

'This is stupid... It's just a vine... A-And how could Sis swallow such a thing!?... It is so unladylike...'

Nieren bit her lip. She couldn't deny that the cock was quite the sight.

'B-But Sis seemed to enjoy it. But she's always been weird...'

Nieren reached out with a trembling hand and lightly touched the cock.

*Shiver*

"W-Why am I touching this? It's just a plant's vine..." Nieren questioned.

*Shiver*

Nieren pulled her hand away from the cock.

"This is too weird. I'm not going to suck on a plant's cock..."

Nieren's mind was racing as she recalled how Rya sounded when giving head to Quinus.

'Was she really enjoying it? M-Maybe I can use this thing as a training tool?'

Nieren's eyes roamed over the thick cock.

'Yeah... This is a training tool. That's it! I need to know if it really is a good thing. If it is then I could do it in secret. And once I have a lover, I can try to pleasure him.'

Nieren's hand trembled as she reached for the cock again.

"H-Hey Trap Vine. You're going to be a training tool for me to practice. Is that understood?"

*Nod*

Nieren slowly opened her mouth and wrapped her lips around the tip of the penis.

"Mmm."

The bulb had created a clear substance and coated the cock in it. The taste was sweet like a hard candy.

"Mmm..." Nieren sucked on the tip.

*Shiver*

"This is just a training exercise..." Nieren muttered.

Nieren felt a tingling feeling as the bulb was pumping out more of the liquid.

'T-That feels good... Why do I feel so hot all of a sudden?'

Nieren's pussy was moist and her juices were flowing. She started to bob her head on the cock.

"Mmm~"

*Shiver*

'I'm a lady. I'm not a whore... So why is this training tool making me wet and aroused? Geez! I can get half of this thing in my mouth.'

Nieren felt the vine start to wrap around her head.

'I'll just allow it... For training purposes...'

"Mmm~" Nieren was moaning.

The vine had started pumping its sweet juice directly into her mouth.

'T-This is amazing! The taste is incredible! But it's so wrong... Yet, I can't stop. This is just a training~Aungh!?'

The head of the cock had swelled up and it was now pressing on the back of her throat.

"Gurk!" Nieren gagged on the cock as it gently moved in and out of her mouth.

'This isn't training... This is being forced to deepthroat a plant's cock!'

"Urrgh~" Nieren continued to moan.

'W-Why do I like it?'

Nieren's throat started to relax, which allowed the bulb to slide down her throat.

"Mmpphhh!" Nieren moaned with the cock buried inside her throat.

*Gulp* *Gulp*

'Oh God! AUGH! I'm gonna cum... What the fuck?! I can't cum from getting throat fucked by a plant's penis! I'm not a slut!'

Nieren's pussy twitched as she gagged on the bulb as it shoved the whole 14 inches down her throat.

"AUNNGUGHHHH!" Nieren was moaning as she loved the feeling of being violated.

The bulb pumped a large amount of its sweet fluid down Nieren's throat which made her excited.

"Gggggrrrruuukkkk!"

Nieren felt the vine slip out of her throat and then the bulb slid out of her mouth.

'Noooooo~'

The bulb left Nieren's mouth and went back to the table.

'I-I was hoping it would go further...'

"Ah! What am I thinking? This is just training... Right?"

Nieren's pussy was still twitching and leaking out her juices as it wanted something shoved into it after getting jealous of her throat's attention.

"What would Mother say if she found out I had sex with a plant?"

Nieren was looking at the bulb that was hanging out the fake manhood was still standing tall and the thought of using it on her lower lips was enticing.

'I-I wonder what it would feel like inside my... What would it feel like if My Prince would shove his dick down my throat or up my tight vagina? Oooohh~It's not like I'm being intimate with a person, and this is a plant... A magical plant. Would I be committing the same sin if I used the fake manhood?' Nieren thought as she glanced at the 14-inch shaft.

"M-Maybe I could use it just this once?" Nieren reasoned to herself as she picked up the 14-inch dildo.

She lifted the hem of her skirt up to her waist revealing her hairless pussy. Nieren held the base of the dildo with one hand and placed the bulbous tip right in front of her lower lips.

'Th-This is so I can understand why my Sis likes the human prince...' Nieren thought as she licked her lips while moving the dildo toward her twitching lower lips.

Nieren pressed the head of the manhood against her moist lips and just as she was about to shove it in the door's to the solarium opened up which made Nieren quickly removed the fake penis from her lower lips while turning around to see who it was. She made sure to hide the Trap Vine behind her back.

"Oh, hey! You escaped the Vine Trap! Nice job, Nieren," Rya said as Yuliana and her came into the room. Yuliana had stary eyes as her daughter was making large strides in the ways of the Green Word.

"Y-You came back after a few minutes!? I-I thought you'd be gone longer," Nieren exclaimed while she tried to hide the 14-inch dildo behind her back.

Rya and Yuliana looked at each other in confusion before Yuliana was the first to talk.

"Actually we've been gone for over a half an hour, Nieren..." Yuliana said, "I wanted to make sure that you weren't stuck here and miss dinner," she added.

'I've been fooling around with a plant for over 30 minutes!?' Nieren thought as she had a hard time trying not to let the embarrassment show on her face.

"Are you okay, Nieren? Your face is red, and your clothes are all disheveled," Rya noted as she walked up to the younger elf.

"Y-Yes, I'm fine!" Nieren stammered as she channeled her mana into the blub and made the Trap Vine return to it's dormant state. The fake cock returned back to its vine form and Rya smiled as she looked at the trap vine.

"So, did you manage to get it off you?" Rya asked.

"Huh?" Nieren asked as she pulled the bulb out from behind her back and held it up.

"See Mom!... I told you that Nieren needed a challenge to overcome and learn more about her own mana," Rya stated proudly as her mom looked at the Trap Vine.

"Well, it seems you're learning," Yuliana admitted.

"Yes, yes... I can feel the connection of the Green Word more clearly now," Nieren said with a smile, "So, is dinner ready? I'm starving," she said while putting the blub in her leather pack.

"Yes, dinner should be starting in a hour or so. You probably should get cleaned up before then," Yuliana stated.

"Huh?"

Nieren looked at herself and noticed that her black blouse was stained with sweat, while her long blonde hair was messy.

"Well, maybe a shower might do me some good," Nieren noted. "Wait!? You said dinner was going to be in a hour?"

"Yeah? Why?" Rya asked.

"N-No reeson! B-But I think I will need a long shower," Nieren said before she rushed past Rya and her mom while holding her leather bag tightly.

Rya and Yuliana watched as the elf ran through the hallways until she disappeared.

"Well, that was odd..." Yuliana stated.

"Yeah... I don't know what goes on in her mind sometimes," Rya stated, "It like she gets lost in her own world."

Yuliana pouted as she thought it was her fault for making her daughter this way after so many years of the run.

"I'm sorry, Rya. If the Kingdom of Marn didn't make us leave the forest then Nieren could have had a normal childhood."

"Hey!?... Stop blaming yourself and it wasn't your fault... Plus we would have never met if you hid away in the Wood Elf Kingdom... Besides, I like how weird Nieren is. She's so funny when she gets flustered."

Yuliana wasn't sure about Rya's assessment of Nieren's character. Over the past month, Nieren has become quite attached to Rya and the Crown Prince. She was beginning to worry that her daughter was falling in love with her saviors.

"Well, you might find it cute now, but wait till Nieren starts talking about her theories about dragons and how she will be the first to slay one. That girl can go on and on for hours," Yuliana stated.

"Oh, she has and I corrected her and explained about how dragons are beings of Ether and they won't make her mana vein grow... It was so funny watching her pout," Rya said.

Yuliana smiled.

"That girl... I hope she can find happiness with someone who can make her happy."

"Me too... Hey, Mom?... Now that Nieren has started mastering the Green Word, can I get my Elder Seed?"

Yuliana panicked as she didn't want Rya to place the seed in a place where there wasn't a strong presence of the forest spirits. If one were to plant a Elder Seed in a area where their wasn't enough spiritual energy the sapling would wilt and die.

"Uhm... Not yet, dear... Nieren just got the Green Word down this week. Let her get used to her powers and then we can discuss planting an Elder Seed."

Rya pouted as she didn't want to wait any longer to plant her Elder Seed. If her guess was right then there was a Spirit Spring in the middle of the Royal Garden.

"But the sooner the better, right!?" Rya asked.

"Y-Yes... A Elder Seed can't be planted anywhere Ry... The land must be strong enough to nurture the sapling and give it the nutrients it needs to grow into a powerful tree. Otherwise, the sapling will die, and that's a waste of a precious Elder Seed," Yuliana replied.

"Oh... That makes sense... Do you know where a good place is to plant it?" Rya asked.

Yuliana didn't have a ready answer as the Elven Elders were the ones who found a place to plant an Elder Seed. But they died when the invasion of her kingdom started.

"I'm sorry, dear. I don't know of a good spot."

"Hmm... How about we plant it in the garden?"

"NO!... The royal gardens aren't strong enough to nurture an Elder Tree. You need a forest full of magical creatures and a spring with pure water."

Rya looked at her mother with a raised brow.

'Does Yuliana not know that there is a Spirit Spring under the garden? Or maybe she doesn't know about the Spirit Springs... I guess I need to wait. Yuliana might know something that I don't.' Rya thought.

"Ok. We'll look for a suitable location once Nieren's finished training the Green Word. Now, let's go to the garden to get some fresh air," Rya said.

Yuliana nodded and the two of them left the solarium and weaved their way through the Royal Palace's hallways.
