still asleep. She really liked to sleep.
knew that, he was use to it really. He was just watching out for her and protecting her.
started to stir when she heard knocking from the door. The servants wanted them to be up early for preparation.
up and at the door quickly, sighing a bit. He didn't want to wake Dorthe up..
sat up, rubbing her eyes as she looked to the door. There were plenty of servants lined up and waiting to enter the room to help them get ready.
sighed again and let the door open, figuring there was no point to keep them out now.
shifted as the maids went straight to help her get out of bed. It had been such a routine that she just went along with it.
didn't want any of the servants touching him... He knew how to change himself.
didn't seem to notice as she was still half asleep.
took what clothes he needed and went to change in the bathroom. He liked his peace and quiet.
just got dressed and properly washed up. They helped her into the clothes before tending to her hair and make up. It was considered pretty important seeing it was his coronation.
got himself changed and walked back out, seemingly ready enough.
sat quietly as the maids went to fix him up and usher him to a seat.
sighed and sat down. He didn't like having people around him... he wasn't use to it.
smiled before motioning to the entire table of food in front of him. The treatment was always good and a bit spoiling.
... walked up to it and started eating without any hesitation.
ate once the servants were done with their tasks.
felt odd being in a uniform so... formally.
thought he looked nice. The only complaint she had was being in a dress...
thought she looked better than him... he liked her in dresses.
played with the necklace around her neck as she nibbled away on some fruits. She just didn't like how restrictive dresses were even if she usually hid a weapon or two on her garter.
didn't think she needed to worry this time around. He just ate a bit more before stopping, not wanting to over do it.
seemed rather oblivious as she ate. She smiled when the maids started to compliment on her hair though. She guessed having blonde hair was really rare here.
knew it was... He really liked it though. It worked wit hher eyes well.
liked his eyes more though she wasn't going to delve into that. Instead she fed the rabbit that the maids were fawning over. The rabbit was so helpful in keeping her company when he was busy.
smiled a bit and looked out the widnow out of habit now.
blinked as the rabbit hopped onto his lap and curled up there. She had to go meet up with some of her generals as they were going to update her about the situation back home.
wanted to go with her... He just petted the rabbit lightly.
wouldn't mind as she started to head for the door. She guessed it was urgent from how important the servants sounded.
got up, putting the rabbit on the bed and followed her.
followed along to where the servants were directing her to a small room. She smiled when she saw her far's bodyguard along with some other top generals.
made a sound and stopped. He didn't know what they thought of him...
looked to them as they smiled and nodded their heads in acknowledgement for his success. They weren't mean people after all.
nodded faintly back and followed Dorthe again.
followed them into the meeting room as they all sat down. She went over to her mor who was seated and sipping on tea.
hesitated before going to sit beside Dorthe. Her mother always intimidated him.
hugged her mor who was more than glad to see that they were okay. The Queen was a woman with an air of mystery around her.
knew that, which was why she intimidated him. He just listened in on what was being said.
heard that the campaign was a complete success on their end and they were here to celebrate the crowning of the king. Also, her mor was here to help the Dane fit into a certain wedding dress.
glad everything went well... He was starting to get a little overwhelmed though of everything happening.
seemed glad her mor was more energetic lately. She had been sick for some time.
glad she was doing better then too...
sighs as the meeting went on about policies and alliances and such. There was also talk about the militaristic country they fought and how to fix the mess the prince made.
just glad to have such good alliances with her mothers kingdom. It made him feel comfortable.
sighed, glad the meeting was quickly over. Everyone was rather looking forward to his coronation.
starting to get nervous... He didn't want to be the centre of attention.
held onto his hand to reassure him. They had some free time now before it was the ceremony.
headed outside to the garden. He didn't know if he could go through with everything."
by his side as she followed him. She knew he needed a breather.
really, really did. He didn't like the thought of ceremonies.
took him to a quiet part of the gardens to help him think.
sighed and thanked her. He just looked at the flowers around, listening to the sound of the water from the fountain
sat quietly on a bench and smiled. She was tired but she tried to stay awake as long as she could.
hoped she'd not be asleep when he went to the ceremony.
obviously wouldn't. She had a big part to play actually being his witness...
took a deep breath and held his head a bit, feeling a little dizzy again.
looked over and frowned as she went to steady him. She was really concerned.
leaned into her a bit. "I'll be fine... once everything is over."
nods slowly, still worried about him either way.
kissed her hand lightly, thanking her again. He'd be fine, really.
sighed quietly before nodding again. She did think it was a bit of a change from bodyguard to king.
thought it was a huge change. He went from being ignored to the centre of attention. And he wasn't a social type. He just took a slow deep breath and nodded. "I think I'm as ready as I'll ever be."
took both of his hands and squeezed them gently like he used to whenever she was uneasy about events and social things she was nervous. She knew he would be okay.
smiled a little and kissed her forehead before holding her hand more and walking back inside, towards the throne room.
seemed glad to see that as she walked beside him. Everyone bowed to him in the hallway as they saw him.
... could get use to that part of being a king.
seemed happy he could get used to that...
stood at the doors before sighing and walking into the throne room, still slightly nervous.
had to let go of his hand as his advisers led the way with the sounds of trumpets and welcoming him. She went to the side where her mor was seated.
glanced over to her but kept walking strong. He was ready.
smiles, wishing him good luck. Everyone seemed to accept him as his advisers had him stop at a basin in the middle of the room. It was no ordinary basin however but a special piece of technology.
frowned at that. He didn't know what would happen...
watched as the advisers told him to recite the script give to him before putting a few drops of his blood into the basin to prove his birthright.
took a deep breath before focusing and reciting it. He didn't want to screw up..
looked over her shoulder to see his ancestors watching from the bodies of guards and servants. She rubbed her eye thinking she was seeing things.
finished reciting the script and sighed, feeling better for that.
nods as she was brought forward to the basin. All he had to do was add a few drops of blood into the water and it would be purified.
pricked his finger a bit, enough for a few drops to fall.
blinked as the water turned crystal clear before being asked to add a few drops of her own blood to confirm it. The water stayed clear even after that.
amased by that. Though it still interested him.
steps back as the advisers were overjoyed to see that. With that, they had him sit on the throw, announcing him as the new king.
blinked a bit as he sat down. He had no idea it was that easy....
smiles as the basin, using his power brought the castle and the entire surrounding city back to life. This country was technologically based after all.
looked around as everything seemed to function again. This was rather interesting. He could get use to a kingdom like this...
laughs quietly as even the throne greeted him warmly in a mechanical voice. She thought it was cute too.
sunk a little into it, not use to being personally welcomed. He just looked out to all of his new subjects...
nods to him as she couldn't physically reassure him. She knew he would be okay.
didn't know what was up next. He just rather enjoyed sitting..
figured he would be sitting for a bit as the celebrations took place. There were so many performances and such...he was going to be stuck there for a while.
didn't really mind if all he had to do was watch. It was rather extravagant, in his eyes...
sighs as she listened to her mor rant away in the meantime. She...never really liked these things and her obvious discomfort was showing.
frowned as he looked over to her. He was also surprised that the advisers were overjoyed when she gave up her blood for the ceremony... He was just glad they didn't think of her as a commoner now.
tried to stay positive though she kept thinking back to the rabbit, worried that it was alone.
thought it'd be fine... it had food and water.
seemed to space out, glad no one was paying attention to her now.
only paying attention to her..
too oblivious to realize that. She fiddled with the lace of her dress, wanting to be somewhere else.
tempted to get up and go... but he didn't want to let the audience down.
blinked when some nobles came up to her and started speaking to her. All she could was either nod or shake her head.
frowned more, wanting her to be beside him...
kept silent though she was starting to feel extremely uncomfortable. Her mor was too busy talking to someone to help her...
tried to motion for her to come to him.
made eye contact with him but she was too afraid of being looked down upon and she was kind of trapped.
tried to focus his energy on the nobles, making them back off of her.
...watched though she was still unsure about it.
smiled to her and gestured that he wanted her by his side.
eventually got up and slowly made her way shyly. There were a lot of eyes on her when they noticed.
took her hand when she got close, secretly wanting her there the whole time.
reddened though she didn't know where to sit, so she stood there awkwardly.
got a servant to bring her an elegant chair to sit in. He'd get a throne made for her soon...
looked at him and then the chair. It seemed a bit too much for her.
frowned, wondering if this was what she wanted...
just squeeze his hand and sat down on the chair. It would make him look bad if she complained even if she didn't like it...
frowned now, feeling bad... He just wanted her to be with him.
didn't mind that though she saw some nobles gossiping away which made her feel guilty in affecting his image.
didn't care. He was the king now.
shifted a lot in her seat. She really didn't like these sorts of chairs.
... wondered if letting her sit in the throne would taint his image.
would feel extremely bad if she did sit on it. Though the throne itself noticed and just told him to let her sit on his lap if he so pleased.
flinched at that, sighing after. It'd take him a while to get use to this damn chair. He tried to pull her towards him, showing he wanted her on his lap.
blinked a bit shy about that but eventually listened, not wanting to contribute to more discomfort for the both of them. The throne pretty much shrugged and made it comfier for the both of them.
glad that it was still comfy, even with her with him now.
held onto his and quietly, knowing that more people were staring and talking about them now. However, the advisers just smiled and had more performances go on.
glad they tried to take the attnetion off them. He just wanted to feel comfortable with Dorthe around.
quietly fiddled around with the rings on his finger, until a servant brought them refreshments. She offered him tea after, knowing he would be tired.
took the tea, nodding a thanks as he sipped it lightly. He was tired... but he didn't dare leave.
seemed to cheer up a bit when they had strawberries too.
knew how much she loved them... He nibbled on a few as he sipped his tea, watching everyone in front of him.
blinked as there were children performing too. They were so cute and adorable and it reminded her of when they were younger.
could never forget those times. He knew how close they were back then...
smiled more when two children came up to present gifts to him. It was a boy and a girl and the boy seemed quite shy but helped the little girl present the gifts.\
couldn't help but smile faintly and take the gifts from them, thanking them after.
looked to him as they were tulips. She remembered whenever her family had them in their garden, they were always imported from this country.
liked tulips, a lot. He held them close and smelled them carefully.
smiled before getting the attention of a servant. The throne was aware of her attentions and instructed the servant to get a vase for the flowers.
carefully set the flowers in the vase when it came, making them look good before asking them to be put in his room. He wanted to keep them close.
wanted to remind him that his room was where the old king's room was now though the throne beat her to it...
knew that, and also mentioned for their things to be moved there. Now that he was actually king he didn't mind being in the room...
shifted a bit as she just nibbled on the strawberries quietly. Everything seemed to draw to a close as she looked to the door. The other thing on their agenda was the prince.
wondered if she was ready to go see him, now that things were ending.
seemed more than delighted as if a darker side of her shone through her eyes.
nodded and got up, helping her with him and headed off to the dungeons.
followed after him, with delight in her eyes.
kept close to her and got to the dungeon, walking down the stairs to the cells.
could already hear the wails and moans from the prince's cell. She knew he was out of threats already and was begging for someone to save him.
walked with her right up to the cell. He looked over to her, wondering what she wanted to do.
tried to stifle her giggles when she saw the state of how the male was as he immediately grabbed onto the bars, shouting profanities at her before realizing his mistake and begging her to save him.
would let her have the first blow, like he said. But he wanted the last, for sure.
had the guards tie him up to a post prior to find a few helpful tools. She was quite sadistic and twisted in her hate and fear towards that prince.
knew she'd not let him off easy.
had her way with the male, making sure he would suffer to his very last moment. She did as the Dutchman to step away for a bit since she had that former prince castrated.
... couldn't help but watch her in satisfaction as well as surprise. He didn't want to admit that seeing her do this was a slight turn on...
did look innocent from how she acted and smiled. She figured her German cousins and their darker habits did run along in the family through she giggled and laughed as she watched in a childish manner.
licked his lips a bit. "You sure you're finished with him?" He cracked his knuckles, wanting to take his life.
nods as she had her skirt slightly raised after using her knives and playing darts to see how many vital organs she hit. She sat down after raising her skirt a bit more to cross her legs and watch in delight.
just walked over and took one of the knives, stabbing it deep into his stomach and dragged it up just above the rib cage. His face kept blank as he put his hand around the princes neck and squeezed, hard.
watched, smiling warmly as the male wheezed and cried and begged. She was rather calm, listening happily to the sounds that were made. " *Farvel~*" She mouthed as her final goodbye to that prince.
made sure his heart beat stopped before taking his hand away and nodding. He went over to help her up before telling the guards to throw his body in the forest or something for the animals.
thought it would be more fun to feed it to the maggots and then burn his corpse. She following along, wanting to clean up now and have a bath.
they could cut him in half and do both. Even better to separate what was left of a man and depose of him in different ways.
figured what ever was done would be more than enough to humiliate him. His family however has been broken completely.
glad. He didn't want any of that bloodline to try and get near him or his family...
would make sure of that...
wanted to take a bath too, wanting to get rid of the filth on his hands.
wondered if he wouldn't mind if they took a bath together. She figured the bathroom for a king would be large and lonely.
would be up for it he guessed... He already saw her undressed once, and figured it'd happen more often.
just thought of when they were younger and would have bubble baths together. She was quite confused why his vital region was different from her own back then.
didn't question it much... He just was embarrassed of her seeing him then.
always too oblivious to figure out until it was too late. She blinked when she saw the rabbit all dressed up in the bed. She didn't want to touch it seeing that she was covered in blood.
would have pet it, but he didn't want to stain the outfit either...
went to the bath that had been prepared for them instead. She promised the rabbit her full attention after once she was done.
followed her and once in the room he started taking his uniform off, making sure not to ruin it more.
had to get a bit of help from the maids in taking her dress off before heading to the warm bath.
had just walked into it, glad for the grand style. He liked how he had tons of space.
loved how warm and relaxing it was. Even the room itself was so big and the technology operating it was amazing.
glad to be surrounded by technology... it seemed to make him more comfortable.
found that it made things more easier to deal with. She waded around in the water, playing with the flower petals that were put into it.
leaned back and sighed, glad for the warmth of the bath.
liked how big it was so she explored a bit, playing with some of the fountains that put water into the large pool.
watched her play around. He liked how happy she seemed.
went over and splashed him after playfully, she wanted him to have fun too.
made a sound and lightly splashed her back.
flails and splashed him more while shielding herself.
swims closer and lightly pushes her.
pushed him back as she laughed silently. She was so going to win this time.
went under the water and pulled her down.
gasped as she was dragged down. She flailed in surprise, not having much air from exhaling earlier.
let her go soon after, just wanting to show he won.
quickly clawed her way to the surface, gasping for air as she huffed. That was soooo cheating.
resurfaced a bit away, peeking over the water with just his eyes.
reached over and pinched his nose, making it hard for him to breathe.
made a sound and pulled away from her.
smiles before leaning on the edge, running her fingers through her hair.
ran a hand through his hair to get it out of his eyes, watching her slightly.
had so many petals caught in her hair as she tried to get them out.
slowly made his way over to help her.
huffs as she tried her best but she just couldn't reach them.
shook his head and carefully took them out for her.
blinks and watched him quietly.
got the last few out and let them flow back in the water. "There."
hugged him promptly after in thanks. She really didn't like all the flowery and oils and whatnot they put into baths but they did provide some benefits she wouldn't argue about.
didn't argue either, liking her body against his...
frowns when she saw the scars on his skin and lightly dragged her fingers along them.
shivered and shied away from her touch.
pulled him back as she frowned more.
looked off to the side, shy.
gently kissed his cheek to show him that she didn't mind them, but rather she thought it suited him. He would not be king if it weren't for his scars and his past.
thought they just showed mistakes...
knew it was impossible for anyone to not make mistakes in their life. It did not stop him in getting where he was now.
still didn't like being reminded of his mistakes. He felt weak from them.
traced his scars lightly before pressing her lips on the one that seemed the worst. She accepted them even if he felt weak.
shivered from that and kept as still as he could, feeling shy still.
thought of every single way she could to comfort him. She mouthed words of encouragement and compliments to him, wanting to be his strength.
sighed and kept close to her, hearing her in his head. He liked how she encouraged him.
would kiss him every now and then to show her love for him. She really wanted to show how much she appreciated him for all the things he had done.
pulled her close after a while, just wanting to rest his head against her chest.
smiled, letting him to that. Well, she did try to improve her breast size for more than just one reason.
had noticed her over the years because of that... though for now he just wanted comfort.
stroked his hair to help him get comfortable. She did share that motherly aspect her mor had.
closed his eyes and just rested. He could easily fall asleep.
didn't mind at all. She was just a bit worried that he would be all pruney if he fell asleep for too long.
didn't mind that even. He was just planning to sleep afte.r
hoped he didn't forget about the grand ball and dinner later that night.
made a sound and buried his head in her chest more. He didn't want to go..
kissed his forehead lightly as her eyes flickered. That could be arranged.
figured he should go though. He was the king now afterall.
knew that but they could shorten that time that he was there if he didn't want to be in public so much.
wondered what she was thinking...
figured they could just use that time in other ways. She did want to spend more time with him but never found the chance to honestly.
guessed they could leave a bit early... but he still wanted to go.
would do what he wanted then. She didn't mind putting up with being in a dress for his sake.
thought it'd be nice, just for a while. He sighed and pulled himself away. "We should think about getting ready."
frowns and nods before slowly getting out of the bath to get dried and dressed.
watched her, a little side tracked from her backside.
didn't seem to noticed as the maids tended to her.
shook his head and got out a moment after, getting a towel and wrapping it around himself.
taken to get dressed and ready while some maids helped him. She was going to take a while to get ready.
tried to get ready himself. He didn't like being touched...
noticed and made it seem like she needed a lot more help so more maids that were helping him would be helping her instead.
thanked her as he got himself ready. He'd only accept help if it was urgent... or he couldn't get his hair right.
would be there to fix it like she usually did in the past though she might have preferred it being down...
would have it however she liked it...
sat quietly on a seat as the maids continued to tend to her hair and make up and what not. She always dreaded this portion.
glad he didn't need anything. He was just slightly pale, but that was his normal complexion.
guessed it matched well with the people here since they were inside most of the time.
waited by the door for her after a while, sighing quietly.
...thought it was going to take a while...
didn't mind waiting for her. He just sighed a lot normally.
fidgeted as she maids finally finished. She could barely recognize herself in the mirror as the rabbit was snuggled up in her lap from waiting.
leaning against the wall, messing with a few medals on his jacket.
stepped out from the dressing room as she looked at him with the rabbit in her arms. She was really dressed up for the ball.
looked over and blushed as he straightened up quickly. "M-m'lady.."
shook her head, correcting him mentally. He was a king now...
still figured he could call her that... She was his lady, after all. He held out his hand for her, unable to take his eyes off her.
left the rabbit in the care of the maid before accepting his hand with a warm smile. She would always be his.
took her out of the room and towards the ball.
held onto his arm as she was a little nervous as always.
put his hand over hers, standing proud as they entered the ball.
smiles as essentially everyone turned to look at him. The decorations and the place itself looked so surreal.
glanced around, amazed to see how nice it looked. He just kept walking, figuring they could start with a glass of wine.
would love that. She liked anything alcoholic honestly.
got her a glass of red wine, as well as one for himself. He sipped it lightly as he looked around still.
sipped on her glass lightly as she saw the many people dancing and those that approached them to have a chat. They were all interested in him.
tried to talk to all of them one by one, not expecting to need to talk so much.
nodded and shook her head to help him out. She did prompt him mentally on how to respond to the more difficult ones.
took her advice and responded with it, kind of glad she could help him this way.
used to conversing with nobles. The answers were typically the same over and over again.
took a sigh of relief when they left, keeping his arm looped around hers. "Dank u..."
nods to him and smiles. She would always be there to help him.
continued to sip his wine, content with the activity going. He couldn't keep his eyes off Dorthe however.
seemed rather oblivious as her attention was focused in all the glittering lights and the dancing. She finished her wine, licking her lips from how much she loved alcohol.
finished off his wine and put his glass down, taking her hand. "Care to dance, m'lady?"
blushed and nods as she put down her empty glass. She couldn't remember the last time she danced with him out of all people.
guided her to the dance floor, glad that those around seemed to give them space. He only danced with her. Body guards normally did more guarding than dancing, but he still knew all the moves.
smiled more as she followed his lead. She was glad he didn't forget considering he was her dance class partner when they were younger.
could never forget. He watched every step she made when she danced and he had to guard her. He was very observant, especially of her.
stumbled slightly since she hadn't practised in a while and the fact that she didn't like wearung dresses because they were so long.
helped her to keep balance so it didn't look as obvious. He glided carefully, not taking too big of steps for her.
srened grateful for that as she was able to follow along and correct her mistakes as theu went.
smiled and pulled her closer, moving his hand more onto her back.
blushed quite a bit seeing the dress did expose her backside. She ended upsmili a bitwhenshesawthechildren
Up smiling a bit when she saw the children from earlier dancing too.*
could only focus on her. His eyes never left her as he continued to dance.
looked to him after, though she was staring into his eyes, she didn't seem to be under control of anything anymore.
thankful for that... She was his, but he wanted her to still have her free will.
had more than her share of free will. She was still a vessel for his power and such she could control others even if she wasn't as strong as he was.
kind of liked how she shared it now... she wasn't as much an outsider now.
wasn't really in control of the power sometimes but rather that darker side of her chose to whenever it wanted too.
still thought it was better than nothing. He slowed down as the song ended before leaning in and kissing her softly.
seemed rather surprised as she reddened. She heard some clapping and cheers as others were watching them.
blushed a little as he looked around. He forgot about being in public..
tugged him lightly to the side so they could take a break as more couples flooded the dance floor.
kept close to her, rubbing the back of his neck. "Sorry..."
shook her head as she was still blushing quite a bit. She thought that was rather sweet of him to do that.
couldn't help it. She was so beautiful and she was his and if she wasn't he'd be beyond jealous.
wondered if he would think the same if she was older in the future...then again her mor still looked like she was in her twenties and her far in her thirties.
thought he'd have to worry about her getting old looking. She had good genes.
would still freak out either way...she was always like that over the little things.
rubbed her cheek lightly, unable to turn away from her.
watched him and quietly smiled before offering him more wine.
kissed her once more before taking the glass and thanking her.
blushed as she looked down and rubbed her cheek. He always brought out that shy side of her.
quietly drank a few glasses of wine to ease her nervousness. She didn't realize it was a lot stronger than what she typically had at home and it make her cheeks rosy in colour.
noticed that and tried to keep her from getting too tipsy. He didn't want her drunk.
couldn't help it that she loved to drink...
kept her close as he sipped his own wine. "We can leave soon..."
seemed a bit happy to hear that. She wondered if she was allowed to drink more after.
already getting some servants mentally to bring wine and sweets to their room.
would be overjoyed if she knew.
knew she'd find out soon enough. He talked a little more to some of the nobles around and wondered if she had anyone she wanted to talk to.
thought she was done for that day. Her mor had retired and most nobles seemed to want to pry into her life and flirt with her.
finished off his glass then told a servant he was leaving. He heard him announce it to the room as he slowly left with Dorthe.
smiles as she waved politely before staying close to his side.
got back to their room and opened the door for her. There was a cart full of sweets and fruit for them, as well as another cart just with different types of wine.
stared before smiling, eager to try out all the wines. However she needed to get out of her outfit and it something more comfortable.
had asked them to bring some formal sleepwear as well, something easy for her to move in.
went over to greet the rabbit that hopped into her arms. It tried to snuggled itself between her breasts since it was lonely and slightly perverted. Best rabbit ever.
rolled his eyes and just went to get changed. He wanted out of his uniform.
sat on the bed, kissing the rabbit lightly on its head. She would need help but the maids and servants were too busy to deal with her for now.
noticed and went to her before getting himself changed. He got close and started to undo the dress, really use to this.
seemed happier that she could breathe better now. She tried to wriggle out of it so she could make it easier for her.
pulled it down so she could step out of it before going to hang it up.
thanked him quietly before getting dressed. For some reason, these maids had good taste in lingerie.
went to get changed after, going into the bathroom. He was still shy.
dressed neatly with a maid's help. She noticed how short the nightie was this time though that it exposed her garter.
came back out and made a sound when he saw her. The maids were going to kill him.
blinks as she looked to him as the maids chuckled. They really did try to make her seem more exotic than not.
huffed and asked them to leave for now and just put guards by the door.
sat quietly on the bed nibbling on some fruit as the rabbit stayed on her lap.
joined her a bit after, pouring them each a glass of wine.
reached out to take the glass as she really loved drinking after all.
knew that... he just didn't want her to go over board.
did try to pretend most of the time that she wasn't. She sipped the wine happily, accidentally letting a bit dribbled down her chin.
barely waited before leaning over and licking it off.
looked flustered and embarrassed as she looked at him. That was certainly a first.
went back to sipping his wine and eating sweets like nothing happened.
shifted a bit in a shy manner as she continued to drink. She did nibble on some food seeing they didn't really have a proper dinner.
glad they were given fruit in that sense.
thought food wasn't going to help replace proteins and such. She liked the steak that the maids served up not too long ago for them so she nibbled on that.
... dug into that. He almost never had steak.
cut hers up into small bite sized pieces as she watched him. She had tried to invite him to her meals often in the past...
most of the time wasn't allowed at the table. He just stood guard and dreamed of it.
still tried to whenever her far wasn't around for dinner. The food was always more enjoyable with more company.
just ate happily, liking how they got it coked perfect.y
ate slowly, feeding the rabbit with some greens.
wondered why she was so attached to the rabbit.
...considered it her friend that would keep her company when he was busy. She didn't have many friends after all.
guessed that's okay then...
let the rabbit rest on its bed before finishing her food and drinking plenty of wine.
continued to eat the steak and everything else around. He liked this kind of meal.
wondered if he still had an appetite for something else...
wouldn't mind a few more strawberries really...
went to get the servant to bring more strawberries and wine then.
appreciated that and started eating the strawberries when they arrived.
sighed as she watched the rabbit nibble on the lace of her garter as it sneaked under her short dress. It was a cute yet perverted rabbit for sure.
tried not to look at her...
lifted her dress a bit to nudge the rabbit out. She didn't notice that she was flashing him.
quickly looked away. He didn't want to seem a pervert.
caught that and simply giggled. What would happen if they ever did get close together...
Thought this was close...
...would just keep drinking then.
didn't know what else she really meant...
knew he was probably going to call her a pervert or something instead. Her mind was in the gutter thanks to the rabbit.
couldn't think of her as a pervert at all, really.
more perverted than he'll ever expect...
might have snuck into his room from time to time to borrow his romance novels.
... didn't know anyone knew about them...
caught him reading and participating in a weird activity so she borrowed them secretly to see what was so interesting about them. She had never been exposed to erotic fiction before.
... just blushed and looked down as he ate.
seemed rather oblivious on the other hand as she was drinking happily.
ate slowly. He didn't know she spied on him like that..
often did when she got bored. The results were some that she didn't expect.
saw a lot of things she couldn't say.
kept her mind locked for a good reason about those things.
blinks at him. She shrugged, thinking of something perverted like him doing a strip tease to deter him as she nibbled on more fruit.
made a sound and huffed. It seems she was getting wiser.
smiles to him innocently. She could think of even more dirtier things to add to the fun.
still trying to figure out what she knew about him... He wanted to roam in her mind.
had quite the twisted mind and he was only able to see it because she was tipsy.
still kept trying to peer into her memory.
stared back into his eyes as she tilted her head. She probably had caught sight of every perverted thing he had done.
just happened to be present at the right moment at the right time.
got up and headed to the bathroom. He was embarrassed now and planned to lock himself there for a while.
wondered if he was going to ditch her for the rest of the night.
just going to... lock himself up.
...only saw what happened in his childhood. He wasn't very good at hiding scrolls of popular ladies of the night.
focusing on all the possible things she could have seen, and because of that he was distracted and tripped on the cart.
frowned as she rushed to his side to help him up.
just rolled onto his back. Now he was even more embarrassed.
went to see if he had gotten any injuries.
hadn't except for a slight bump on the head. "You don't need to help.."
frowned as she looked at, a bit rejected by that as she went to get some ice for him.
felt it added insult to injury for her to help.
returned with some ice, pressing it gently on the bump on his head as she looked concerned.
closed his eyes and sighed. "Dank u..."
nods slowly, wondering what was wrong with him.
didn't have anything wrong, he was just severly embarrassed
frowned blaming herself before moving back to the bed to give him some room.
grabbed her so she'd not leave.
looked to him in confusion. She didn't know how to react.
just pulled her back and looked up to her.
frowned more as she chewed her lip nervously.
... glanced up her nightie.
stared at him before growing flustered and trying to pull away.
didn't expect him to that honestly.
might have felt the wine start to hit more.
went to drink more wine to take her mind off of what just happened.
wanted to see her more...
sat on the bed, drinking away without another word.
pulled himself up, keeping the ice on his head. "Dorthe..."
kind of did regret spying on him when she was younger but she was often alone and curious. He was essentially her only friend so it was natural for her to find him for company.
went to sit on the side of the bed, still using the ice against his forehead.
kept quiet, giving all her attention to the rabbit as she stopped drinking after a while and curled up close to it. Maybe she was acting slightly spoiled...
frowned, feeling like he did wrong. "Dorthe...?"
didn't pay attention to him as she continued to play with the rabbit, murmuring silently to it.
wondered why he was being ignored now...
thought she should make the rabbit her new best friend.
lightly put his hand on her shoulder.
jumped a bit an huffed at him before the rabbit wedged itself between them.
frowned and lowered his head before getting up and heading to the door. "Okay..."
huffed again this time at the rabbit before downing the rest of the bottle of wine.
walked out of the room and just went for a walk, feeling unwanted.
didn't even notice or realize he had left. Instead she stayed in her spot, trying to discipline the rabbit until she noticed she was alone.
ended up just slumping against the wall beside the door to the room and sat down, keeping his head lowered. He was glad not many came around at this time of night.
sat up, starting to get frantic as she looked around. She felt her lip tremble as she bit on it, trying to search for him. She was obviously drunk and acted even more so like a child trying not to cry.
just stared at the ground, thinking of how she didn't want him all of a sudden.
rubbed her eyes quietly as she hugged her knees.She knew he would be back soon...he always didn't stray too far.
just sad about how she reacted to him.
sniffled as she huddled up more, pulling the blanket around herself. She froze when she heard the sound of thunder and the lights in the room went out.
frowned at that and didn't spend much time getting up and back into the room.
hidden underneath the large pile of blankets, shaking and sobbing quietly as she kept trying to keep herself together but it was difficult with her drunken state of mind.
got to the bed and hugged the bundle, wanting to show he was there.
wouldn't stop shaking as she continued to sob. She had really thought that he was gone for good and left her.
couldn't ever do that. He just thought she wanted space and din't want him.
thought rather the opposite. She though that she was causing him problems and the rabbit was being mean to her too...
just wanted her to think straight...
couldn't think straight at all so she just kept sobbing and shaking like her child self would.
sighs. "You'll be okay, Dorthe..."
tensed but seemed to calm down slightly from hearing his muffled voice.
swayed lightly with her. "I'm here, you're not alone..."
eventually calmed down, hiccuping quietly.
started to peel the blankets from her so he could hold her close.
stayed in place rubbing her tear stained eyes as she hiccuped quietly.
tilted her head up to him. "Be strong. I know you can be."
nodded weakly even though she had bit her lip so many times from the thunderstorm that it was bleeding a lot without her realizing. She was really scared...
frowned and ripped some fabric from his shirt to clean it up. "Shh... I'm here. It's okay. You're okay, got it?"
had been clutching onto the blanket so tightly that even her fingers had gone rigid and her knuckles white. She could only nod in response.
slowly unclenched her fingers after a bit and held her hands. "There..."
looked quite drained though she seemed relieved that he was there.
kissed her forehead. "Sleep..."
shook her head stubbornly. She didn't want to after what had happened.
stroked her hair. "It's for the better..."
frowned and held onto him when she flinched from the sounds of thunder. She really couldn't...
sighed and looked at her. "Focus on me, okay?" He covered her ears with his hands gently.
nods slightly as she watched him. Her eyes not moving away from him ever.
kept his eyes on hers the whole time, not wanting to shift away at all. He remembered doing this as a kid.
caught slightly in a trance though not by any power or anything special. She had always been liked that when she was younger, staring straight into his soul almost.
kissed her nose after a while and slowly took his hands off her ears, once the storm had passed. "There..."
blinks, looking to the window as the sounds could no longer be heard. She seemed rather relieved about that and less drunk.
thankful that she was less drunk. Though he still felt unwanted so he slowly headed for the door again.
pulled him back, not wanting him to leave...ever.
made a faint sound as he looked at her. He just stayed there.
hugged him quietly, mentally pleading him not to leave her again like before. She hated to be left alone...
sighed and stayed. He just replied with how she was ignoring him and didn't want him there...
stared at him in complete shock looking as if she was able to cry again. She never wanted him to leave...it was the stupid rabbit saying mean things about him...
wondered why the rabbit would say that... and how the rabbit talked.
drunk....she never made sense when she was drunk. Ever.
guessed that was true. He normally ignored it, but he was a little tipsy this time...
wondered how far would they push it this time...
had no idea... He just pulled her closer and hugged her.
held onto him without another word.
laid down after a bit, still keeping her close. He was exhausted and drained.
nuzzled him quietly. She was feeling a bit better now...
glad for that. He was too, really.
continued to nuzzled him, glad that he was here now.
pulled the blankets up on them, wanting her to be warm.
mentally thanked him as she nibbled on his shirt to get her jitters away.
let her this time. He tried to kick her of that habit in the past, but he figured right now was okay.
couldn't help it that it was helpful in getting her to calm down...
stroked her hair as she nibbled on his shirt, trying to calm her enough to fall asleep.
...couldn't sleep at all.
would stay up with her all night then.
squeezed his sides from time to time. She was totally trying not to cop a feel. Maybe.
made a sound as he looked at her more.
wondering if he was going to get fat if he indulged too much in high class food...
frowned. He wasn't going to get fat... he didn't want to, at least.
often had him putting limits on her whenever she wanted to indulge. Then again...she had always wanted to look prettier than the women in those scrolls he liked to read often in private.
always thought she was more beautiful...
never knew considering how oblivious she was. It was probably she had refused to eat for a week once...
upset when he found out about that...
had been a little bit chubby when she was younger. It was really baby fat but she still thought she wasn't his ideal type.
wished she wasn't worried about body image..
still did even after that. It was only lately that she actually indulged in her favourite foods...
wanted her to be happy and not have to worry about image..
's happiness depended on him in all honesty.
always thought she looked beautiful.
had a hard time believing that sometimes...
didn't see how... He was almost always staring at her.
thought that was most of his duty...or well what he was suppose to do.
knew there was a difference in guarding and staring... But most of the time he was staring. It was hard for him not to.
probably right in guessing that he liked younger women back in the day.
didn't think that was the case much... Only some. But his attention always went back to her.
still thought that it was more so still part of his job.
wouldn't argue against that.
sighed and just held her close.
wondered if he would take another wife like what most kings did in this country.
wouldn't. She was all he ever needed.
hoped so...she might have been a bit wary of the looks her gave to the good looking women around here....
didn't think anything of it. He just looked at them, like he looks at anyone else.
might have been just worried of being ditched...
wouldn't ditch her. He's been with her this long, he'd not stop now.
would take his word for it now.
kissed her forehead. "You feel okay now?"
nods quietly as she thanked him quietly.
pulled her close and sighed. "Then try to sleep..."
shook her head stubbornly. She really wasn't going to sleep.
sighed and just stroked her hair.
continued to squeeze his sides childishly.
made a few sounds. "Why?"
pouts to him. There wasn't anything wrong trying to feel him up.
wasn't use to it... at all.
continued on with it, trying to understand what the maids mean by the firmness of his buttocks.
yelped a bit and shifted away from her slightly.
jumped at that and frowned when she saw him moving away...
shift back soon after... He just really wasn't use to being touched that way. Especially by her.
frowns and just kept her hands to herself or rather in this case, on the helm of her nightie.
idly started playing with the lace on it...
spaced out in the meantime, not knowing what to do to reduce her boredom.
lightly tugged at the lace.
looks to him, blinking in confusion.
really liked the lace and wanted to feel more of it...
stayed quiet, letting him do what he wanted.
started to try and pull it off her.
wriggled a bit as she tried to keep it on her.
smirked a little, starting to have fun.
tried to tug back lightly, not wanting to ruin the piece of clothing.
pouts a bit and slowly let it go.
groped him back in revenge.
made a quiet sound at that as he looked to her.
seemed rather smug as she kept doing it.
couldn't help but let out a quiet groan.
jumped a bit but giggled silently at his reaction.
just blushed and huffed, though he didn't want to move.
started to tug at his clothes playfully.
hesitated before taking off his shirt shyly. He didn't like showing his skin much...
hugged him happily once it was off. She did like to see him without his shirt on...or any clothes for the matter. Her perverted side was really showing.
made a quiet sound though he pulled her closer...
nuzzled him, kissing his collarbone lightly out of affection.
shivered and held her closer.
started to nibbled on the skin after, leaving marks for fun.
tilted his head. He liked this...
seemed rather delighted that he liked it, so she left more marks on him.
frowned after a bit. "M-make sure they're not visible when I'm in uniform..."
nods obediently as she shifted lower. She knew he could always wear his trademark scarf to cover his neck.
would probably just to be safe, but he didn't want marks that visible..
leaned back a bit to look at them as she licked her lips. Seeing him this vulnerable...was such a turn on.
took a few deep breaths as he looked back to her, not wanting to fully admit that he liked all she did.
smirks more as she kissed him contently after. She was happy with her work.
returned the kiss, frowning after. "Is this allowed...?"
shrugs. They had crossed the line in the past, and seeing that his life wasn't on the line she saw no harm being done.
still thought they should wait a bit more... just until they were officially married.
drunk and impatient. Being the spoiled princess she is, she really didn't want to wait after all the waiting she had done in the past.
wondered if she could wait just... a few days.
didn't think he would win either way.If she waited, she would probably avoid him like a plague until the wedding. If she didn't, she would probably still avoid him like a plague for having drunken sex with him.
... would rather wait for the wedding and just hurry that up then.
frowned and just shifted away from him after.
sighs. "It's... for the better."
just took it as a flat out rejection instead and shuffled more away from him.
just didn't want to have awkward drunk sex with her...
...figured as much. Then again she found him awkward in anything really.
always awkward, especially when it came to relationships...
knew it but she just gave up eventually and curled up on the edge of the bed away from him. She was getting tired of trying to get what she wanted.
felt bad now and couldn't sleep..
stayed quiet and slowly drifted to a light sleep.
laid on his back and stared at the ceiling.
didn't move as she just continued to sleep. She never complained and always kept trying but her patience had kind of died from all the times she tried and it still wasn't enough. So she just stopped trying now.
sighed and went to go sit by the window again.
twitched but didn't move or shift from the lack of warmth this time like she always typically did. She just continued to sleep.
sighed and just watched the outside. He felt terrible...
