Read To Claim the Elvin Princess: Apprentice for Free Online

yesterday when you were leaving the place with all the big buildings...”
    “The college?”
    “Where you study? Yes! I followed you home, and then trailed you back today and waited. You are lucky I have the patience of a hunter!” she declared, playing with her hair.
    “Why?”
    “I wanted to just rip your clothes off and have you on the spot!” she confessed, nibbling her lip.
    “Really? Amein...where did you stay, and how did you manage to eat for a month, with no money?” he asked, suspiciously.
    “I’m cute, and people are nice to me?” she volunteered. Seeing his frown, she slumped. “I used my sorcery to make them give me food and drink, and a place to sleep?”
    “I find that more likely. I assume no one will even remember you?”
    “Of course not! That’s part of the enchantment, making them unable to remember that they saw me. No one will remember either of us when we leave, either!”
    Rasten stared at her for a time, considering what such a power might be used for.
    “How often do you use such power to take advantage of humans, to have them just for fun?” Amein looked stricken by his words, sitting still and turning very red from a strong blush. “You’ve done that, haven’t you? Is it forbidden?”
    “Yes. Utterly. But when we are young, and just learning, I think all of us do so, at least a few times, just because we can! Eventually, we all come to regret doing so, and are deeply ashamed of our behavior. I hope that is a fitting punishment for our wickedness!” she whispered, looking very miserable.
    “So the Elvin kind has to develop a conscience as it goes along?”
    “More than we should! Rasten, we aren’t evil beings...just a bit...naughty? Especially when we’re young! Occasionally one of the older ones will take advantage of someone human, but usually the human is just as much at fault for wanting to be had too!”
    “You’re quite proud of being an elf, aren’t you?”
    “Proud, but not arrogant! We care deeply for all living things, and devote much love and effort in behalf of all those within our realm!” She turned more to be able to fiddle with his hair. “You’ll find being among us to be very delightful and worthy, once you learn our ways!”
    “I’m going to be schooled in something?” he demanded. Amein giggled.
    “Oh are you ever! You must master weapons, especially the sword and bow. Have you ever ridden a horse?”
    “A couple of times...why? Do you ride horses?”
    “Sometimes. But you have to learn to ride other things, like terranaks and alowons too! Seeing his blank stare, she sighed. “Terranaks are a huge avian creature, large enough to carry a fully equipped warrior. Their wingspan would be larger than this room! The alowonds are large, four legged beasts with long necks and tails, able to leap astounding lengths. The also run like mad; no human or elf can out run one!”
    “You have mastered such creatures?”
    “Of course. They put my butt on such beasts when I was still peeing in a diaper! I was terrified, and peed myself many times, but quickly learned to love being on such creatures. I grew up learning the ways of war and battle, as did my sisters!”
    “You have sisters? How many, and are they as cute as you?” he thought to ask. This got him elbowed in the ribs.
    “I have more than three dozen, and you have no reason to wonder how cute they are!” she hissed.
    “You’d be jealous of them, should they find me of interest?” This garnered a frosty silence. “Amein? Have you ever had their mates?” he asked. This caused a guilty fit of tears. He held her, until she stopped crying.
    “I hate how perceptive you are! Am I doomed to having no secrets?” she sniveled.
    “Look at me! I’d rather know all your naughtiness and doings, than have you hide things! You aren’t ever likely to be faithful, are you?” She managed to shake her head.
    “But you can’t stand the thought of me playing with others? You don’t find that a
