Talk to the northern woman
From Create Your Own Story
The woman is quite shaken from the events. Even if she’s not ready to talk about the events, you should at least make sure she’s okay physically and take care of whatever she needs. You take her to a small room to talk in private. She adjusts her clothing back to normal.
“My name is Anastasia, Your Majesty. I wanted no trouble” She begins
“I know Anastasia, and you’re not in trouble. Just tell me what happened, as best you can.” “We were at the feast together, celebrating your coronation. I was enjoying meeting many new people. Yuliy was mostly just enjoying getting drunk.”
“Yuliy was the Northman?”
“Yes, he is my brother. The young men, the three with the same face, they were being very kind to me. Do you know them?”
“Yes, they are my younger brothers”
“I see. They are very charming and pleasant to look upon. They escorted me out here and…” she looks away for a few seconds, her face turning red in embarrassment “they became much more intimate with me. It was unexpected” Consent is the one rule your kingdom has in terms of sex, and your brothers have always been good about that rule. They may be overly ambitious and flirtatious, but they know how to take no for answer. Still, something must have happened to cause this “Did they do anything you didn’t want them to?”
“Oh! No! nothing of the sort. They were most welcome. They had surrounded me, their hands were…sorry. You surely don’t need the details. I was caught in the moment. Yuliy came out and saw me surrounded by them and put a stop to it.”
“Why?”
Anastasia spat on the ground “Honor. Northern Honor only allows for Northern women to breed strong Northern Men.”
“You do not approve?” “I will approve when Honor can put food into bellies of hungry children, put rooves over the heads of a family, or put love into men’s hearts. Yuliy of course believes very strongly in Honor. He had to defend me, and attacked the young men. That was about the time you appeared with your silver man” “I only wish I could have arrived sooner. Is there anything that I can do for you?”
Anastasia became embarrassed again, “Can you keep a secret?” you reply immediately “Of course.” “If they are okay, and are willing, I would like to look upon your brothers again before I depart. They are kind and loving souls, the kind that are missing in my homeland.”
“I’m sure they would be glad to do so.”
