"Prince Aiden?" A soft knock on the door followed by a voice spoke from behind the future Queen's office door. The prince, still busy with his sister's official, looks up from the pile of paperwork, noticing the familiar voice.

"Yes come in" He replied. To his delight, the slender frame of the raven haired dark witch appeared from behind the door. "Princess Azura" he greeted. She smiled at him shyly adjusting the black satin robe she had on.

"Uh I'm sorry to... disturb you-"

"No no it's fine" he cut in quickly, almost too quickly for his own good. "Uh please, sit" he gestures to the seat before him. She nods before making her way to the chair and sitting on it.

"So what brings you here?" He asks intrigued.

"Well I wanted to see you" she replies quickly.

"By this time?" He asks. His dark maroon eyes glittering with a hint of mischief.

"Don't get any ideas now prince" she says making him chuckle. "I'm here to see your sister, but I heard she was out at the moment so I thought why don't I distract myself with you?" She says with a smirk. He lets out a small chuckle before looking back at her.

"So.." he began opening a file ".. I'm nothing but your distraction?" He asks scanning through it.

"Precisely" replies Azura, sitting down on the chair before him. The prince chuckles at her passive demeanor. The action leaving the princess a bit confused.

"And may I ask what is so amusing?" She asks sounding a bit offended.

"Oh nothing... nothing at all" he replies. His gaze returning to the document before him, a smile still plastered on his features.

The future empress looks at him unconvinced.

"I don't know about here, but where I'm from, laughing with no reason is a sign of forthcoming madness" she spat. His smile quickly falls as he looks up at her, in turn, she chuckles at his sudden change of mood. "Oh... Have I perhaps struck a nerve?" She asks mockingly, eyebrows arched and arms crossed as she stares back at him.

"Be careful who you play with, may I remind you that you are mocking the crowned prince of this kingdom?" He says in a harsh tone.

"And may I remind you that I am a future empress, and your sister, the future Queen of this kingdom's guest" she shoots back, drawing closer to him.

The two royals sat in silence, exchanging deathly glares at one another, the tension so thick that a butcher knife could cut right through it.

"Well *empress*..." Aiden began walking towards her "...you might be a royal but you are very far away from your kingdom" he adds in a husky voice, his body arched over the chair she sat.

"Is that a threat prince?" She asks with a smirk. Her dark amethyst eyes staring deep into his gray ones.

"And if it is?" He replies.

"Well then.." she reaches for his collar, bringing him inches away from her lips.
".. I'll have you know I don't do well with threats"

"Do you now?" He asks, a smirk growing on his own lips, her dark wood and warm vanilla scent beginning to intoxicate his senses.

"Mmm.." she replies, almost in a moan. "..and I doubt a man of your status will be able to do anything about it, after all, I am your guest" she adds, running her slender fingers down his jaw line.

"And I am a woman" she whispers into his ears, allowing his eyes flutter closed. Her lips brush against his neck and down his shoulder, leaving a lip mark on his collar.

"Azura i-"

"Alright I'm back!" The voice of his sister shoots him back into his senses. His eyes quickly meet with the door, where his sister had just walked in.

"A-arpina" he stutters, feeling flustered by his position.

"Have a good night prince" azura quickly whispers, as she dissapears into a mist of dark smoke.

"Um are you alright?" Arpina asks, walking towards her desk. She looks at her brother, who was still arched over an empty chair.

"Oh uh yes..i- I just, sorry" he blurts quickly adjusting his posture.

"Why were you arched over a chair?" She asks amused. By now the prince was beyond flustered.

"Oh well I was... checking something" he fibs.

The princess looks at him confused.

"I-it's late Pina, I'll be heading to bed now alright?" Aiden says, quickly rushing towards the door.

"Um alright" she replies as he makes his way out of the room.

The flustered prince rushes to his room, making sure to close the door behind him. He finally let's out a breath he didn't even know he was holding, sitting tiredly on his bed.

The prince was famously a flirt, but never has a woman been able to get him as flustered as we was tonight. It proved to him that Azura was a special woman, and definitely not one he'd be able to forget easily. He hadn't felt anything so electrifying in his life before, and dark witch or not, he was ready to do anything it took to feel that way again.
