A Cold Start - Anakin x Reader

her majesty the Queen

The ship dropped Anakin and me off in a deserted little town close to the palace. From here we could easily walk the rest of the way without arousing any suspicious. When we reached the big golden gates behind which lay the ostentatious palace, of course the heavily armed guards that were positioned on either side stopped and asked us who we were.

"The Queen's new slaves, sir. Our master recently sold us to her majesty and from today on we are owned by the royal court.", Anakin replied to the question.

Oh, right. We were classified as objects from now on... Objects that could be owned.

"Stay right here.", the guard said.
Then he disappeared for a moment, probably to check if Anakin was telling the truth, before he came back and announced:

"You are granted entry."

The big gates swung open and four guards gathered around us to lead us inside the court. In this little cohort we made our way toward the intimidatingly grand marble palace in front of us. While its architecture was without a doubt impressive, what it and the court were lacking was warmth. I noticed that there was not a single plant anywhere to be seen, nor were there any playful ornaments or decorations. The marble palace simply looked cold and lifeless. An analogy to who it is reigned by?, I wondered as we approached yet another golden gate, but this time of the palace itself.

The interior design was not much different from what the palace looked like from the outside. Mostly cold marble stones and a few pillars here and there were what characterized the long hallway Anakin and I were lead down. I didn't know where the guards were brining us, but asking them was of course not an option. So I just kept on walking and walking and walking. Until we reached the core of the palace: a giant hall with an elevated marble block, standing on a podium in the centre. Or was that a marble block? As we got closer, I realized it was in fact a throne with a little figure sitting on it. The Queen.

About 15 metres away from her, the guards abruptly came to a halt and I almost stumbled forward because I didn't expect us to keep such a big distance to her. Then we all bowed down.

"Your majesty, we present you your two new slaves.", one of the guards spoke to the woman.
She was smaller than I had imagined (as far as I could tell by her sitting position) but her perfectly symmetric face, her high cheekbones and her cold eyes gave her a sublime look. She knew who she was and what she could do, that was for sure.

"Ah, yes. The slaves. Let me inspect them.", she said. Her voice was rather deep.

Anakin and I were both given a push in the back to make us walk up to the Queen. She got up from her throne and walked to the edge of the podium for a better look. I straightened my back and looked straight ahead into the distance to make a good impression on her.

"Well, well, well."
She stressed the 'L' sound at the end of each word and then went on to inspect Anakin first.

"You're rather a handsome one, aren't you?"
From the corner of my eye I saw her reaching out her hand and placing a finger under Anakin's chin to make him look at her.
"Mhhmm, now look at these pouty lips you got there. And those blue eyes... Handsome indeed. ", she concluded and then let her hand wander down his chest, feeling him up.
"And so very muscular as well..."
Her hand wandered down further to Anakin's belt, tugging on it. I was disgusted.

Anakin's hand quickly shot up to wrap it around the Queen's wrist in order to stop any further action from her.
Although his move was more than justified 'Fuck, we are screwed!', was what immediately came to my mind. I was super scared of how she would react.

"Oooh, we've got a naughty one here. My speciality.", she only purred, but then added in a stricter tone:
"Don't you make a habit of it though!"

Luckily, she then withdrew her hand from Anakin's belt and turned her attention to me. My body immediatly stiffened and I tried as hard as I could not to let my breaths come out shaky as she looked at me closely.
