Queendom

Dominance & Expectations

"Yongsun..."

It was the first thing the Queen of Solaris heard. Her voice. Moonbyul's voice.

The first thing she smelled was her scent.

The first thing she felt was her warmth.

And when she slowly flutter her eyes open, the first thing she laid eyes on was Moonbyul's gentle face.

Yongsun's senses were consumed by Moonbyul's presence that she was unable to think clearly, at first.

But when she realized that she was laying in bed with the prince of Lunaria, with nothing but robes hindering their bodies from touching skin to skin, she immediately tries to sit up straight.

But alas.

Moonbyul catches her first, placing her arm around her wife's waist to hold her down and refrain her from getting up. "Where do you think you're going?"

Yongsun's breath hitches. Looking at her King, she couldn't help but be tempted with the idea of spending the day laying in bed with her. To spend more time just to get to know her, until the depths of her soul. And she almost gives in...

Yongsun didn't know what she expected. But surely, it wasn't what is right in front of her at the moment.

Moonbyul's smile isn't an evil grin that she expected. Her eyes weren't cold and calculating as she expected. She expected Moonbyul to finally show her true colors because their marriage was final. Heck, maybe a part of her even expected that she might not be able to wake up. But what she got was quite the opposite.

Moonbyul's gaze was gentle and her smile was soft. But all the same, it still didn't fail to make her shiver.

...but she was suddenly reminded of the crown placed in her head.

"You're Kim Yongsun. The Queen of Solaris. You must protect your people. Nothing should be put above your kingdom -not love, not even your life." it's a chant she has grown to remind herself every single waking moment of her life since she was hailed the Queen of Solaris.

She closes her eyes shut, as if stopping herself from being hypnotized by the wolf in sheep's clothing that is in front of her. She could feel herself losing control. Losing her grip. And she couldn't possibly allow that. She's the Queen, after all.

If she would stop being wary for her kingdom, who will?

She couldn't possibly trust the person she just met, even if it was her wife. Even if it's the King herself.

Of course, she wants a healthy and peaceful marriage. She wants to give their marriage an honest try, despite it being arranged regardless of their will.

No matter how easy it is to just trust her, Yongsun tries her hardest to resist it.

At least not until she's completely sure of their true intentions.

When Moonbyul could feel her trying to get up again, Moonbyul scoots in closer. "Lay still." she utters.

Yongsun realizes how close their faces were, and she shots her wife a questioning look.

"Don't pretend like you don't like it." Moonbyul smirks, her eyes teasing.

And Yongsun refrains herself from physically shaking her head. She didn't know what awaits her kingdom from their marriage. She was promised safety, but it could easily be a trick that might cause them more harm. Either way, the safest route is to go through with the wedding, and so she did...for her kingdom.
