The Spider Queen

"We have maintained our neutrality until now… I see no reason to change," Sophie spoke quietly as she sipped on a glass of wine.

"I agree with Count Xeron that the crown prince appears to be the favourite but there is no guarantee that he will be the eventual winner."

"Anything can happen during the selection ceremony."

"Supporting a candidate does have some advantages but it is a gamble," Duke Braveheart chimed in from the other side of the screen.

"Prince Theseus… he has already won the support of several noble factions as well as numerous financial organisations… I fear that his ascension is all but confirmed," Marchioness Drena dryly spoke.

A white cat strode into view and jumped on the shoulder of the elderly woman. The marchioness raised up her wrinkled hand and lightly touched her pet's fur.

"I still believe that we should at least send him a gift or offering of goodwill," a portly middle-aged man confidently spoke.

Sophie leaned back in her chair and quietly listened as other nobles decided to speak up about their opinions.

The selection ceremony would take place in a week's time. The entire noble society was in a frenzy and rightfully so.

Choosing a new leader of the Imperial Family would have enormous social, political, and economic effects.

And these effects would be long lasting.

Many a noble family had disappeared into the annals of history by making the mistake of choosing the wrong side.

The hybrid girl placed the glass of wine on the table next to her and focused her attention back on the floating holographic screen.

"Prince Theseus does not appear to be on the side of our cause," Sophie spoke seriously, and the other voices fell silent.

"Of course, should he win then we will need to discuss countermeasures but for now it is important that we wait and see."

"The momentum of the hybrid rights movement is getting stronger, so we do have the populace feeling slightly supportive."

"I agree with Duchess Peterlor. We should present a united front of neutrality to avoid being drawn into any unnecessary conflicts," Viscount Adrien quietly spoke.

The meeting continued for several more hours.

Sophie maintained a calm and collected expression but the minute it ended… she let out a heavy sigh.

The hybrid girl raised up her fingers to her temples and rubbed them gently. It was now three or four in the morning.

Fuck… she was tired.

It was exhausting dealing with the many responsibilities that came with inheriting an upper-class noble family.

Especially having to deal with the selection ceremony, an event that was to put it lightly… a massive headache.

Sophie reached for the glass of wine and took another sip. The bitter crimson liquid slid down her throat and left a sweetish aftertaste.

"Why are you still up babe?" Sophie called out as she heard some shuffling around in the hallway just outside the room.

"I keep forgetting your senses are so incredible," Cleo laughed playfully as she walked into the room and sat on her girlfriend's lap.

She leaned forward and captured Sophie's lips in a soft and lingering kiss that seemed to last for an eternity.

"How did it go?" Cleo asked curiously as she broke away from the kiss.

"Well… better than I expected. There were a few people who wanted to throw our lot in with the crown prince, but I managed to convince them not to," Sophie replied lazily.

"I sincerely hope that he does not become the next leader. You saw what happened the last time we met… he knows that I am part Insectoid."

"He doesn't have any proof, but I am not naïve enough to believe that will last forever. Maybe it is only a matter of time before my identity is exposed."

Sophie sighed heavily as she felt an enormous weight pressing down on her body. She felt worried about the future.

Her Insectoid Heritage was a secret that had to remain buried at least for the foreseeable future.

The Earth Federation and the Insectoid Empire were still at war and her political enemies would jump at the chance to claim that she was a traitor.

Hell… she might even lose the support of her father's allies if her secret became exposed.

"Don't think like that," Cleo gently comforted her girlfriend as she raised up her hand and lovingly touched the side of her face.

"If the Federation turns on you then we can run away together… I heard the outer rim quadrant is quite lovely."

"Well… we will have to deal with lawlessness and pirates but that's never stopped us before. We can be Interstellar Pirate Queens!"

"Oh?" Sophie raised an eyebrow and smirked wickedly as she stood up from the chair and lifted up Cleo in her arms.

"And what if I was the pirate queen and you were my helpless captive…"

Cleo blushed as she saw the edges of Sophie's golden eyes slowly turn into a light pinkish hue. The hybrid girl tilted her face downwards and lightly kissed the side of her girlfriend's neck.

"Why don't we take this upstairs?" Sophie seductively purred as her hands roamed around Cleo's body and gave her ass a gentle squeeze.

"Please! Let me go you brute!" Cleo acted along but her struggling appeared unnatural as if she did not want to really escape.

Sophie laughed and then rushed towards the bedroom.

She used her long legs to cross multiple stairs in one step and soon arrived at the main bedroom doors.

She stepped inside and then roughly tossed Cleo on the bed. Her girlfriend shrieked in surprise as Sophie slowly began to remove her dress to reveal her voluptuous body.

Her nipples were already hard and the hungry look on her face was enough to cause Cleo's thighs to rub together.

"I see I have captured an innocent little lady," Sophie growled darkly as she slowly approached the bed and used her palms to tear off Cleo's clothes.

"Stop it! Do you know who I am?! I am a princess!" Cleo protested angrily but used her free hand to slowly unbutton her blouse.

"A princess? My… I haven't tasted one in years…" Sophie giggled softly as she pulled off Cleo's pants and shifted her underwear to the side.

"What are you… Fuck!" Cleo's voice ended with a scream as her girlfriend extended her tongue and hungrily began to lap at her pussy.

Cleo reached for Sophie's head and pulled her hungry mouth closer to the object of her obsession.

Sophie allowed herself to be handled and secretly enjoyed the feeling of her lover's fingers running through her hair.

The princess moaned in ecstasy as Sophie began to softly lick and circle the outer edges of her labia.

Soon her tongue was exploring every single inch of Cleo's pink flesh which caused her girlfriend to scream in pleasure.

Sophie stretched out her hand and lightly played and twisted Cleo's nipples causing the sensitive girl to see stars.

She continued her unrelenting assault until Cleo cried out loudly and a wave of fluids shot out and covered her face.

Sophie raised up her face and looked her girlfriend directly in her eyes.

Cleo's chest was rising slowly, and she desperately tried to breathe as she recovered from her orgasms.

"Now my sweet little princess," Sophie purred as she crawled up the bed and lightly brushed her nipples against Cleo's breasts.

"Why don't you return the favour?"
