The Princess and the Peasant - (An Azula Epic)

The Sparks of Revolt

The lavish palanquin now sat before the docks of the royal sloop.

And four soldiers of the Royal Procession knelt around it holding onto the bars waiting to carry it on standby.

And Elle now knelt faithfully before the steps of the front of the palanquin.

As Azula now strode forward to enter her palanquin while her frigid eyes momentarily swept over her kneeling servant girl.

Only to find herself gazing on in approval when the young girl quickly arose and pulled the pink cloth aside for her.

Her lips nearly curved into a pleased smile as she glanced at the girl's devoted face while she held the cloth open for her.

'She is such a well-trained little royal servant.' Azula thought in gratification as she stepped past her servant girl and into her palanquin.

And then she sat down on her cushioned throne with all of the authority of a queen while she elegantly crossed her legs and folded her hands in her lap.

As she stared coldly ahead at her handmaid now standing before her palanquin.

Elle smiled shyly up at her mistress while Azula stared back down at her from her seat inside her palanquin with a stern amber golden gaze.

She comprehended the message behind the stare perfectly.

Her princess was telling her that she expects her to mind her behavior in front of the noble officials that she would be meeting with today.

And not even a second later.

Elle bowed her head in respect while the princess's ruthless amber golden eyes gazed down at her in satisfaction.

And then Elle arose from her bow as she took her place standing beside the palanquin as close as she could be to her princess.

While Azula sat staring possessively out at her through the corner of her eye.

As the rest of the princess's chosen subordinates were now making their way to follow on foot after the palanquin.

Mai and Ty Lee came to a stop standing beside the palanquin while they paid little mind to the couple's strange way of interacting.

Nako stepped up soon after that and took a position standing beside the two noblewomen.

Zoi now walked forward with her two companions, Saro and Jiao as they moved to stand before the palanquin.

As the princess turned to stare out of her palanquin at the seductress with a hint of annoyance in her callous amber golden eyes.

"Zoi. Is there any particular reason why you had to bring your commoner with you?" Azula questioned in a glacial voice with her imposing eyes gazing back at her captain.

"Is there any specific reason why you brought yours?" Zoi replied with a margin of her usual sass in her voice while her stony golden eyes glanced over the young girl's new neck accessory in momentary interest.

Before she simply shrugged her shoulders while Jiao stood beside her with Saro taking a spot standing beside them.

"Both of my commoners are fully trained and fit to be presented to the upper class of society. Which is more than I can say for yours." Azula stated with a pompous edge to her arrogant voice as she held her hands in her lap.

Her lips pursed into a regal sneer as she gazed back at the seductress's smiling face.

As the serving girl stood beside her royal mistress seated in her palanquin with an innocent smile still adorning her lips.
