Robert and Cecil a Tudor romance

The next morning Robert awoke to find Cecil fully dressed standing by the bed. Your breakfast is ready and waiting for you, Robert wearing just the short undershirt dutifully followed his new lover to the next room where a fine breakfast was waiting. After hed finished , Cecil told him to wash and return to the room, Robert did and came back to find Cecil opening a close cupboard and from which he produced a small box, which he passed to the lad instructing him to open it immediately, which he did and gasped for in the box was an ornate enamelled ring set with what Robert presumed was a large ruby or spinel. Well! said Cecil, "put it on I want to know if it fits" It was my late wifes and thereby fitting my new lover should wear it for making me feel wonderful again. Robert stared at the ring on his finger which fitted perfectly on the minstrels long slender fingers. Thank you said Robert, but its too much, but Cecil put his finger to the lads lips to silence him. Now theres some more gifts, but these not from me.

Cecil went to the close cupboard again and from it he produced a beautiful Red Brocard tunic with sleeves edged with finest lace and a matching ruffle of lace around the neck. He also produced a fine cambric undershirt and hose. These are a present from the Queen, for your excellent entertainment the other night. The undershirt is from me to help you preserve some modest as the present one is way too short. Now get dressed and I will help you, as time is getting on. Robert stripped off the short undershirt, and Cecil admired the lads naked body, he passed him the new undershirt which tucked easily in to the hose, then the brocade tunic which Cecil laced up for him. Robert felt like a prince in such rich attire. Finally, Cecil helped him put on the codpiece again in matching red brocade, making sure it was fastened up so none of the lads gorgeous cock and testicles showed. Now you are to play for the Queen while she has a buffet with her ladies in her quarters, She will also give you some manuscripts to practice for the presentation of the Noble lords later this month, which hopefully His Majesty will attend.

The two made their way along the corridors to the Queens quarters, pausing only for Cecil to check out that Roberts quarters had been suitably prepared and aired and fires lit as through lack of use they had become musty and damp. He checked the quarters and after instructing that fresh rush matting be laid, they continued to the Queens quarters, and were admitted. Cecil bowed and left and the Queen rushed over to her minstrel in his new garb and studied it and remarked on how well it fit. She gave him the manuscripts to practice and then ordered him to play some jolly Galliards as the buffet was prepared. Several of the ladies skipped in time to his playing as they laid the buffet, once again all went splendidly and he was dismissed after being thanked and applauded by the noble company. As he left the quarters, he was greeted by Cecil and was assured by the Queens chief lady in waiting. it had all gone splendidly with much merriment. Cecil led the way this time to Roberts new quarters and oncw behind closed doors, Cecil embraced the lad, instructing him to undress to the new undershirt and hose and he would hang the new tunic etc in the cupboard so it would be ready for later if he was required. Seeing the lad in the longer undershirt and minus the brocade codpiece and just his hose, through the fine fabric the lads tackle showed up a treat, but also preserved some modesty. Cecil took him in his arms and hugged and kissed him, having checked the door was locked, then he removed the undershirt and took the lad in just his hose with his erect cock showing to the bed and they made love once again, they fucked passionately and for several hours, till both exhausted. Cecil took his leave, promising to return if the lad was not required to play and he would stay the night. He told Robert he had instructed one of his most trusted servants to look after the lads needs, he left and promised to return shortly as he had a meeting with the King, only the most trusted were allowed to see the ailing monarch as he needed constant attention to his legs and was terribly immobile. Very few people knew of the special lift that had been installed in one of the towers to lift the infirm King from the river jetty to his quarters as climbing the steps was not possible, here his surgeons dressed his swollen and sore legs, and did what they could for him.

Cecil returned within the hour to Roberts quarters and found him studying the manuscripts given him by the Queen by the open window and playing one or two verses, Cecil remarked on the lads excellent picking up of the new pieces. I have been instructed by the King to give you this from the Queen said Cecil, as he handed the lad a velvet pouch. The lad opened it hands trembling and inside was an ornate cipher in Gold and enamel bearing and H and C set with tiny jewels and surmounted by a crown set with a ruby, of almost identical colour to the one off Cecil. He handed it to Cecil who immediately fastened it to the tunic. He truly was the Royal Minstrel now, but the King hasn't heard me play yet said Robert overwhelmed by the honour. Word has come to him from the Court ladies and the young princesses. Now I will give you my present said Cecil and he undid the hose and removed the lads shirt and the made love all afternoon and late into evening, Cecil eating in Roberts quarters, so they could be together, and they spent the night together, the quarters were ideal as no one entered Roberts without good reason, and it looked out over the River so safe from prying eyes. Robert and Cecil made love and talked and then made love again, in the massive four poster, both enjoying each others bodies and lying naked like to young lovers. (
