The Fairyland Story by GA-Yume/Hot-B for the MSX, 1987.
Front and back of game box.
I’ve been playing a lot of the arcade version of The Fairyland Story lately (it’s currently available for at least PS4 and Switch via Hamster’s Arcade Archives series), and after a bit of a rough start I’m now thoroughly digging it. It’s a tough game, but not annoyingly so. If you tend to enjoy games like Bubble Bobble, Chack’n Pop, Don Doko Don, etc., I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.

“I know, baby, I know. I’m right here, just breathe.”
Thank you!
Something very soft for starters. Since a lot of you don’t know my characters yet, here are some short introductions:
Tajena - let’s call her a princess, but she is far from a classical one. She is stoic and sarcastic, often very stubborn, very protective of her family and loyal to her father. Can be quite anxious at times. She is rather kinky and open-minded, but she is hiding it.
Elemir - let’s call him a prince as he is a classical albeit asshole prince. Full of himself, loud and cocky. Also temperamental and stubborn. But he is a loyal friend. He is not as kinky as he thinks he is, but he is sexually far more experienced than Tajena.  Â
Non-canon, fluff (none of the bad cannon thingies happened), established relationship
TW: gentle sex, strong language, first time
Pairing: Tajena x Elemir
WC: 1670
Elemir has always loved spending time in the countryside. Spring, summer, winter - he didn’t care. He loved the basic life he could indulge there, forgetting about his noble blood for a few weeks. Owning several houses around his domain certainly enabled him to enjoy this lifestyle any time he wanted and in the best way possible.Â
The light snow had just started and Tajena’s and Elemir’s horses were ready to rest. The climb, even though not too steep, was long and the path was in bad shape. They reached a small village hidden in the mountains. And Elemir’s winter cottage was unexpectedly small and quaint.
“Does it fit there?” Tajena asked while dismounting.
“What?” Elemir looked at the house from the roof to the foundation.
“Your ego.”
Elemir’s pout was adorable. “Not really. I’m afraid you’ll have to leave some of your bubbly personality outside.”
After taking care of their horses, they entered the house. Tajena was surprised with how modest but comfortable it looked. The single room had many blankets and floral carpets covering every horizontal surface, as well as walls. The wooden furniture was decorated with simple shapes just like the large stove that was ready to be lit. The bed, however, was a big and bulky thing. And it was one bed. She knew there would be one bed. And that they would be alone. Her mind conjured pictures and sensations she never felt before, excited and fearful at the same time.
Probably noticing her stare, Elemir moved next to the bed, a huge grin covering his face. “Do you like it? I ordered it a year ago. It looks amazing, doesn’t it?”
“It really does,” Tajena commented while removing the gloves from her hands. “Do you have any servants here?”
“None,” Elemir’s exclamation was so giddy, Tajena laughed as well. “We’re gonna do everything by ourselves.”
Tajena wasn’t sure how she felt about that idea, but she wasn’t about to let Elemir know about her apprehension. On the other hand, she was more than curious to see Elemir doing servant’s jobs. Imagining him cleaning the dishes or sweeping the floor was quite entertaining.
“You should put on your furs again,” said Elemir, “We’re gonna need some firewood first. It’s gonna be cold for a little while.”
He took an axe that was standing next to the stove and swung it around as if it was his sword. “Would you like to watch me chop some wood?” he asked with a wink.
“Why not. I have nothing better to do. I just hope you won’t chop something else while swinging that.”
“Awww, are you worried?” Elemir gave her a peck on the nose. “Would you treat my wounds if I hurt myself?”
“Only after I stop laughing,” Tajena’s retort was met with a chuckle.Â
“Ah, my gentle goddess of love, I can always count on your healing words and hands.”
Tajena watched him as he walked to the wardrobe, opened it and started removing his own clothes. Raising an eyebrow, she asked: “What are you doing?”
“Well, I won’t chop wood in my clothes. I don’t want to get them dirty.”
Tajena giggled. Of course. This still was kneĹľević Elemir. His precious Ubejan silk, summer lynx fur and high quality leather should never get soiled. She turned around to give him privacy, even though she honestly didn’t want to. She saw him almost naked several times. Never completely, though. Not yet anyway. She smirked.Â
“You don’t need to turn around, you know.” Elemir’s voice was like honey, coating her very core in sweet warmth. He stood behind her back and placed his hands on her shoulders, brushing her neck with his thumbs. “All I am is yours.”
When his fingers caressed her jaw, she shivered in delight. Elemir kissed her neck, slowly, leaving wet marks. “My goddess… “
“If you continue like this,” Tajena spoke in a faint voice, mind already foggy, “you’re never going to chop that firewood.”
“Fuck firewood.” Elemir grabbed her around her waist and spun her around. His face was flushed, eyes deeply coated in something carnal. Her warm breath mixed with his. Tajena looked down - he was completely naked, his cock standing up and high, pulsating against her belt. The cottage was quiet, filled only with their shallow breaths and aroma of their sweat. It felt like they were the only two people in the world. Tajena felt a surge of impudence, took his manhood, maybe too forcefully since Elemir jerked a little bit. “Fuck me.”
A sly smile spread on Elemir’s face before turning into a wolfish grin. He shouted at the top of his lungs before grabbing Tajena into a bear hug, smooching her and shattering the sensual moment into small pieces.
“Why did you have to roar, you ox?” Tajena’s annoyance was as sharp as her morning star.
“I couldn’t help it.” Elemir’s smile didn’t waver even for a second. “I have you for myself. You’re mine.” He placed his forehead on hers. “You’re mine.”
Tajena looked into his eyes. They were gleeful, glittering like a pure spring stream. “But you know that already.”
“Say it again,” he requested.
Tajena’s chest filled with warmth. “I am yours.”
He kissed her, sharply but less messy than the last time. “Again.”
“I am yours.”
Elemir cupped Tajena’s face into his hands. “Say my name.”
“I am yours, Elemir…”
Their lips connected, sending a spark into their veins. Tajena’s skin lit up, igniting inside out. Elemir skillfully removed her garments, piece by piece, only breaking their kiss when absolutely necessary. When her breasts were free, he stopped. He knelt in front of Tajena, looking at her face in burning submission. Tajena’s face flushed. This was a step further than everything they’ve had done before. This was new for her.Â
“Are you fine?” he asked softly.
Tajena nodded, gently placing her palms on his cheeks. He kissed them both before continuing to undress her. Soon they were both bare and vulnerable in front of each other. Elemir smiled mischievously and picked Tajena up before almost throwing her on the bed. He immediately covered her entire body in hot kisses. And every kiss was touching deeper parts of her being. Tajena’s heart and mind raced, experiencing her own body in a more different way - through another man’s touch. It was unfamiliar, it was overwhelming.Â
“Are you fine?” Elemir repeated his question.
“I don’t know.”Â
He immediately stopped, his amber eyes sharp from worry. “What is wrong?”
“I don’t know.”
He sat down next to her, pulling her into his lap. “Talk with me, my moonlight.”
His features were so kind, so soft, Tajena could just smile, nervously biting her lip. “This is all new for me. Am I… doing everything right?”
Elemir tried not to show it, but soft annoyance spread across his face. Tajena hit him in the shoulder. “I’m serious.”
“Tajena, you… Do you like what we’re doing?”
“Yes, of course.”
“Then let’s do it until you stop liking it and you tell me, okay? Don’t think so much, just let your body take control.”
Tajena was silent, inspecting his face. “And you’ll be there?”
Elemir blinked, surprised. “Of course. I’m not going anywhere. Ever. Where would I go without you?”
He asked this in an innocent way, but… Tajena knew it was a promise. She placed her hands on his neck and kissed him, pushing her tongue into his mouth, tasting him until they were both out of breath. Her body was trembling, but it was wanting something too.
“Hold me,” she whispered, taking his hand, tangling their fingers.Â
“I’m here.”
Tajena took his manhood and placed it under herself. It was strange, so strange, but it felt so good to rub against it. Elemir groaned, holding her, not pushing her or guiding her. He was just supporting her, whispering words of comfort. But she needed to feel him deeper. Once, twice, she tried to lower herself but it hurt too much. The third time it stung but his cock entered her and they both gasped. Elemir smiled and kissed her, slowly guiding her hips up and down. Tajena followed, swaying, gliding up and down. She needed more but it was too uncomfortable.
“Not good, huh?” he asked. Tajena shook her head. “Nevermind. Come here.”
He lifted her off his cock, and turned her around, so that she could lean her back on his chest. Between her thighs was Elemir’s throbbing cock, needy of release. Elemir started kissing her neck, slowly rubbing her breasts with his hands. Tajena’s breath quickened. When he pinched her nipples, she moaned, feeling her flame becoming stronger.Â
“Please…” she whispered.
“I know…” he replied into her ear, moving one of his hands between her legs. He quickly found her bud, swollen and sensitive. Tajena's hips jerked and he moistened his fingers before pressing them on the little eager bundle of nerves again.Â
“Please… Oh…” her whimpers were getting louder. But it was too much. Everything was too much. But it was too good as well. “Elemir, I’m… I’m…” She couldn’t verbalize her thoughts. Will she burst? Will she shatter?
“I know, my moonlight, I know. I’m right here, just breathe. I’m holding you. I’m here.”
His fingers circled around her bud, lighting her desire, pushing her over the edge where she couldn’t feel anything else but endless pleasure. And it was given to her by him. Something she’s never experienced before. While still on her high, Elemir grabbed his cock and started rubbing it, smearing Tajena’s wetness all over it. He growled into Tajena’s hair when he sprayed her thighs and stomach with his warm seed.
While catching their breaths, Elemir caressed Tajena’s hips. “Well… how was it? Not too bad, huh?”
Tajena mulled over before touching her sticky legs. “Very messy.”
Elemir snickered. “True. Unfortunately, it can get a lot messier than this."
"I don't understand one thing. Why did you say unfortunately?" Tajena's eyes had a hungry glimmer and all Elemir could do was grin.
