An example of a rewritten chapter. Inquisition altered most old ideas... dohhhhhh! Need to write further to fit this in. Wish me luck. I'll get back to the hunt for the cult leader next update - promise

The acquisition of influence in Orlea wasn't the result of killing lunitics, and cults. In Lilith's case, it was more a matter of 'compromise' and detante... so to speak.

As talk of Lilith's ample beauty, scintilating body, and willingness to flaunt both in the most captivating of ways made the rounds in Val Royal, the more the players of the great game sought her as a victory worth claiming. But in this game for the most influence and ultimate power... It was the prize that would win.

The invitations were sent out as soon as word reached the sender. But as every party, ball, hunt, wedding passed without anything greater than an 'accidental' pawing of her breasts that amused her - an experience described as 'ambrosial' by the offender: a genuinely inebriated, elderly Duke - none could claim so much as a kiss of her lips. So enticing was the beauty that the highest elevation in societal circles would be claimed by whoever could claim bragging rights to taste her willing lips. The game was on in earnest. but in the end, it would be a victim of the game who would claim this most coveted prize. It had started as all these events did... with a letter handed to her by a masked courier.

Lilith had accepted an invite from empress Celine herself to a celebration at the famed summer palace on the anniversary of the Inquisitors saving of Seline, and the reuniting of the Empress with her elven lover... ladies only. Lilith arrived dressed in a sheer, silver, backless silk dress that barely covered the beauties body, the neckline of which terminated just above her pubic bone, displaying her diamond studded navel

The Inquisitor, a female, human mage, was the only other luminary to arrive unescorted, having been married to the commander of her considerable armed forces. The two struck up a quick report, the Inquisitor having been exceptionaly kind to her mother and Cormack, back when he was called Kerian. Lilith, after a few glasses of wine, and having caught the dragon slayer glancing at her practically exposed breasts a few times, Lilith pressed her stunning body to the woman, and whispered, "Want to OPEN a rift... with your hand? Herald?"

The dragon slayer smiled, "You are very tempting Lilith, but I'm very, very marr..."

"I'll do both of you! Just look at me! I have 'fun for all' written all over me!"

The Herald laughed, "I have to agree... but he's nearing fifty five. You might kill him."

Lilith smiled wide, glanced around, stopped, and stared at a nervous looking young woman, looking like she would rather not be seen... ever. Lilith then stepped back, strutting a few steps away, "Good night Herald, the offer stands, but tonight I need to think purer thoughts of lust." She ran her hands down her own scintilating curves, and twirled in place.

Empress Celine stared at the young beauty as Lilith spun gracefully on her toes in the center of the dance floor till all eyes focused on her.

Lilith spun till the dress whirled about her narrow waist, exposing her long shapely legs, hips, and lace and silk undergarments.

They all gasped as she kept spinning, perfectly, keeping them spellbound.

The shy girl gazed as well, seemingly sadly envious.

Lilith stopped with a flourish, and courtsied.

The room erupted in applause.

Lilith blew Celine a kiss, then made a beeline for the slouch shouldered young woman.

Lilith, smiling ecstatically, took the young woman's trembling hands, quickly pricked the girl's index finger, and gently kissed it, "Janette?" the young malificar gasped in happy astonishment, and hugged the confused young woman warmly. "Forgive me, please;" she whispered to the trembling girl,"I know you are not given to such desires; but tonight, you are mine, and I am yours. Tomorow, the nug shit who took your virtue? HE will hide HIS face."

The women of the court whispered and gasped as Lilith suddenly lifted Janette's chin, and kissed her full on the lips. The same potent pheremone, this one delivered through the saliva where it worked as well, but much slower, was on her full, soft lips as she gently slid her tongue into the girl's mouth. At first Janette resisted, stiffened, but as Lilith worked the pheremone into the young woman's twitching tongue, the more she relaxed; finaly moaning sweetly, her hands gently caressing Lilith's shapely hips, her soft tongue tasting Lilith's slowly. The young malificar broke the kiss, "Soon," she whispered,"come, let's start a legend. "

The two young women moved about the ballroom, arms wrapped about one anothers waists. The girl grinning joyfully as women who snubbed her as a result of her deflouring by a young Count was made public knowledge, smiled. The whispers filled Liliths ears: "It had been said she had been complicite in the act, that he had wooed her. But here she is, with the untouchable Lilith... perhapse the Count drugged her- the welp!" "Or is this sympathy from the popular beauty for a pathetic fool... I'm undecided."

Lilith grined, and turned to the girl, "Let us get some air," she said loud enough to be heard by the gossipers.

Janette smiled happily, and followed her new friend out on to one of the spacious balconies.

"Play along," Lilith whispered to Janette before she turned to her young charge, "I have missed you so much," the young mage sighed softly, and gently touched the girl's cheek, "I'm sorry I didn't write. I was so busy." she took the girl's sweating right hand in hers, pressed her upper arms against the sides of her breasts, and raised Janette's index finger to her full lips.

A collective sigh rose from the doorway as Lilith gently sucked the digit

"But I'm here now," Llith went on, letting Janette fan her fingers across her exposed cleavage, "and we can get...," the hand slid down Lilith's flushed breasts, inching toward he right nipple, "...reaquainted." The mage gasped as Janette only lightly caressed the teat through the silk. The victor would be crowned, without Lilith taking her any further down a path the mage didn't want to take the poor girl. One player exploiting her for personal pleasure was enough. Someone else already had plans for Lilith.

A silver key was suddenly placed in Lilith's hand.

The three twin sisters stood before the two young women, "Her royal majesty wishes you join her in her chambers... Lady Cousland."

...

Lilith entered Celine's bed chamber, eyes open wide in astonishment.

"Just the response I had to you," the Empress sighed from behind her, her bejeweled fingers coming to rest on the young mages shoulders.

Lilith tensed slightly as Celine stroked her fingers down the beauties naked arms.

"I admire your... " Celine sighed into Lilith's right ear, her teeth trapping the beauties earloab, her fingers stroking her forearms "compassion for the girl."

Lilith shivered as the Empress caressed her chin as she stepped in front of her, turned to face her, and sat down on an ornate couch, a riding crop in her right hand.

"I have compassion too," Celine went on, using the crop to lift Lilith's dress. "I have come to love my lovers people; so, out of that love I offer them...you."

four elvan ladies in waiting looked her over approvingly.

"This is the height of the game... how far are you willing to go to win?"

Lilith dropped her dress.
