"I suppose it can't be helped; I am really cursed with over whelming beauty!" Lirian mused aloud making the nobles openly gap, as they looked to each other with flabbergasted expressions, as if asking each other if they heard the same thing.

"That is why you all want to see me naked?" Lirian asked directing his question at the prince's and princess's, "It's because just looking at me made all of you horny?" Lirian question with a mischievous smile.

As time went on Lirian continued to say many self-praising things about his divine looks each one more shameless than the last he even made up vulgar stories about the things they wished to do to him and when he was done he turned to the prince's and princess's with a smile.

"That is the reason you want to see me naked right?" Lirian said with a humour filled laugh.

They were no fools, they could tell that it was a life line Lirian was offering them as soon as they admitted his words to be true they'd be saved, but that's where the problem lay, they did not want to admit to a single word of Lirian's story being true, it would be especially humiliating for them.

The princess's were red in their faces as they considered saying that Lirian's stories were true, but the princes had gone green in the face, they gagged involuntarily as they played out some of the stories in their heads, but there was always an exception, one of the boys grinned from ear to ear as he imagined one of the stories and happily admitted to it, with so much vigour that there was no doubt about his sexual orientation.

But the others were still torn with indecision that's when Lirian started again, making up another story at that point one of the princess's practically jumped, "I admit that what prince candidate Lirian said is true," she declared loudly.

"Oh," Lirian smiled and turned towards her, "You'll have to be more specific, my memory is rather bad you see so I completely forgot what it was you wanted to do to me," Lirian said in a very apologetic voice.

The princess's eyes widened with shock, "But Dalinar didn't have too," she protested.

"Prince Dalinar was the first so he doesn't have to, but the later you say something the more descriptive you'll have to be princess," Lirian said with a shrug as if it was only common knowledge.

And as he spoke the rest of the prince's and princesses practically fought to be heard the loudest as they admitted to Lirian's stories, even Kaher didn't hesitate, sure it was humiliating, but it was better than losing Efrideet's favour.

"You still have to say what you wanted me to do to you!" Lirian reminded them.

Their voices were suddenly the opposite of what it had been before, they were loud and battling to be heard the loudest, but now they were dead silent and it looked like they wanted to hide away and die.

Lirian sighed softly when they said nothing, "Mother it would appear that I misjudged them, they only wanted to humiliate me nothing else!" Lirian said as if disappointed.

"I wanted you to ravish my vagina until I started screaming for my mommy," one of the princess's shouted as she realised that things weren't looking good for her, oddly enough she didn't stutter but when she finished she fell to her knees and started to cry.

The princess's had an easier time saying the words out loud, though they were all beat red in the face when they finished and it didn't help them when they could hear the noble's sniggers, that were soft at first before breaking out into full blown uncontrolled laughter.

Some even flipped from their chairs as they wrapped their arms around their stomachs as they struggled for breath, to hear the proud an arrogant princes and princess's speak such demeaning words was a spectacle.

Lirian did not at all expect his mother to deliver such a harsh punishment to them, but he figured it was perfect to play with, to get the best effect possible out of it, It was a happy surprise for Lirian.

The princes were still having a hard time as their faces were filled with so much disgust it look like their faces were rotting as they forced the words, "I desperately—w-w-w-anted mm-my a-a-anus plunged, by his l-l-l-lovely p-e-nis," a princes stuttered his words and as he finished he was like a projectile high classed weapon, as he threw up, releasing all his food and wine across the ball room creating a slip and slide on the floor.

When prince Kaher finished he fell to his legs with a lifeless look in his eyes, from now on he knew that people would be calling him the prince of anal plunge or a hundred other demeaning names.

Lirian laughed merrily from the steps, "You guys are to much, I really didn't expect you to go through with it, in truth my mother was just lying about the punishment," Lirian lied, he was almost certain that his mother was serious, but he just wanted to rile them up even further.

And sure enough some of them had their eyes roll back in their heads as looked to the empress and she nodded her head in agreement, she was delighted with the turn of events and it made her look less cruel, so it was a win-win for her.

Lirian laughed as he turned on the steps, "You know since you guys are all so suspicious of me I don't mind climbing naked," Lirian said and started to disrobe pulling off everything other than his shorts.

As the nobles watched they were looking with utter disbelief as Lirian pulled of his clothes so naturally revealing his amazingly ripped muscles and well-toned body, and his skin was pure white like fresh snow, without a single blemish or spot.

His body looked like a divine sculpture sent by the gods the nobles lost control of their mouths as some of them started to gulp and salivate just by looking at Lirian, they had all thought that Lirian had exceptionally good looks that were divine already, but it was then that they realised that Lirian's earlier words about his own beauty were understated.

His body had an almost divine look that would make one mistake him as a holy sovereign if they didn't know him.

As Lirian finished taking of his clothes he moved to his shorts, "Good graciousness Lirian, keep those on," Taliyah suddenly scolded Lirian, him disrobing in public was already to much for her to bare, and she could see that some of the nobles were losing their minds as they looked at Lirian.

She had given him plenty of baths as a child and she knew just how unbelievably attractive his body could be, and she was certain that Anya had grown a little over fond of him because of that, it was why she enchanted all his clothes to dim that effect of his.

"Oh yeah you're right mother," Lirian said with a slight smile, "We wouldn't want all the men here feeling inadequate," Lirian said in such an apologetic and sincere voice that the people believed he wasn't lying about his claim, and well Lirian was only wearing his shorts it made it plenty easy to see what he was hiding and even the princess from earlier who were ashamed of the words they said no longer felt so ashamed as the gulped aloud.

Taliyah sighed as she rubbed her temples, sometimes Lirian could give shameless a whole new meaning in her opinion.

Lirian faced the princes and princesses, "Earlier you claimed that I was cheating with some item, and you mocked me for overestimating myself,"

"So, I pose a challenge to all of you, climb the steps with me that way you'll know that there is nothing tempering with the steps and you'll be able to show me how it's done?" Lirian said mocking them with a smile.

"But you know if you're too scared that I'll show you up, your welcome to admit that you're to scared to challenge me," Lirian said and took another step with just as much ease as he did before.

When Lirian reached the ninth step he felt the pressure triple on his body and the entire steps changed colour as it began to emit a vague grey spoke and an illusory image appeared on the sides of the steps, that was impossible to make out.

As for Lirian he believed that the steps could sense that he was blind, so it projected the image directly into his mind.

Lirian stood firmly and turned around with a provocative expression, he was waiting for the prince's and princess's to climb up, given their station they were all people that survived the trial of candidates, which definitely tempered their will power.

So even if they couldn't reach the ninth step in the past Lirian was certain they'd be able to now.
