Caught Eyes

At Your Service

Meanwhile.. Back in the dungeon..

Toffee was still locked to the wall, though he twitched, slowly opening his eyes, gaining consciousness. Toffee groaned, looking up to his chained hands, trying to pull them off. He didn't succeed, and gave up afterwards. "Why.. Am I here?" Toffee questioned himself, looking around. "Where's.. Souvii? Did we get inside?" Toffee added, his eyes squinting as he whispered to himself. "Probably did.." He added, grunting as he tried to get himself up on the ground.

Toffee later got up, though his hands were pulled down. He quietly looked around, confused. "I don't remember.. Getting myself here.." Toffee's eyes widened, returning to silence. Toffee then groaned, placing one foot on the wall and pushing himself against it. He kept his foot there and raised the other, now pushing himself off the wall with his pair of legs. Toffee groaned as he continuously tried to pull his arms off the wall. Suddenly, his legs began to shake, growing weaker.

Toffee failed doing what he planned to, slowly setting himself down to the ground, his arms up and his feet resting on the wall. Toffee sighed, looking at his right arm, his eyes narrowing. "Hmm.."

Back at the Wonderful side of the kingdom..

Souvii was walking through the hall, his hands behind him, and his eye focused on the path. He didn't want to make a mistake and just continued to his destination.

He was now wearing a white neck shirt, and a gray vest laying over it. Souvii also had a black coat above the two, the long sleeves folded above his elbow and the backside was slightly lifted because of his tail. He had a black tie around his neck. Souvii had a white glove on his right hand. And lastly, he had black pants worn above his legs. Souvii didn't have anything worn on his feet.

Souvii continued to walk forward, silence was present in the halls, since no one was around at the time being. He groaned and would squint his eye, thinking deeply about Toffee. He wondered what happened to him, if it was good or bad. Souvii was unsure and just continued to the area he was commanded to go to.

About a minute later, Souvii arrived at the Throne Room..

Souvii stopped at the entrance, placing a hand on the handle and grasping it tightly. He inhaled sharply, closing his eye before stepping back as he pulled the door, opening it and revealing the large room of two golden thrones, and graceful designs at the walls and windows. Light beamed from the windows and gave the room a large amount of light. Chandeliers hung from the ceiling, lit candles placed on it.

Souvii gasped as he entered, walking in and the doors closing behind him, making a loud thud as both doors collided. He looked up at the two thrones at the end of the hall, a lone and tall female sitting at the throne which was smaller than the other. She stood straight and held a wand in her hand. It was the queen, she stared down at Souvii, showing no reaction on her face.

"What brings you here?" The lady got herself up from the throne, speaking at a loud volume for Souvii to hear. "Are you the monster my daughter and I discussed about?" She added, raising a brow.

"Oh, I'm Souvii, milady. I'm a monster servant for Princess Mo--" Souvii replied, though stopped as the Queen raised a hand, a single finger pointed upwards.

"I know that already." She interrupted, though spoke politely, putting her hand down. "I-- am Queen Comet. She also told me about her promise to you." Comet added, raising her wand and pointing it down towards Souvii.

Souvii was noiseless, he did not intend to interrupt the Queen, whom had the highest place is the whole kingdom. Souvii just stood straight and looked down, holding his hands together.

Comet noticed his silence, sighing before putting her wand down and walking down the stairs. She headed over to Souvii's direction. Comet stood right in front of Souvii seconds later, quiet.

"Deepest.. Apologies." Comet muttered, looking down with a slight frown.

Souvii looked up at her, quite confused. "P-Pardon..?" He then asked.

Comet sighed, looking down at her wand, then back at Souvii. "I.. I'm not a fan of monsters. And so is my daughter. But because of you. You've changed us." Comet gave a simple smile. "You've- changed our minds. Which is why I'm going to try and make peace between monsters, and mewmans." She added, still smiling.

Souvii looked at her in slight surprise, smiling back at her. "T-Thank you, Queen Comet." He bowed down, quite speechless.

Comet looked down at him, reaching for his chin and pulling him up. The Queen looked at him with a simple smile. "Souvii, was it?" She then asked.

Souvii looked at her in confusion, before nodding in reply. "Y-Yes." He said.

Comet nodded with a quite sigh. "A few days, and the magic you wish for, will be yours." She smiled.

Souvii stared at her for a few seconds before smiling again, nodding once more. "Of course, I will do my best to serve you and your daughter." He stepped back, bowing gracefully. Comet watched him, smiling.

Souvii stood back up, standing still and straight. "I'm at your service!" He yelled with pride.
