The Princess and the Peasant - (An Azula Epic)

Comfort and Flames

Several hours later...

Azula now sat in her throne scanning a page of notes on one of her new techniques with calculated proficiency.

Her callous amber golden eyes flickered to watch her loyal companion diligently pour her another cup of wine.

Much to her sadistic amusement the girl was now laboring with even more enthusiasm than before.

She almost felt something akin to remorse knowing that her handmaid's efforts were all in vain.

Almost.

"Have I earned a snuggle yet, Azula-sama?" Elle pondered sweetly with a hopeful countenance while she stood faithfully beside her mistress's throne.

Azula glanced at the girl through the corner of her eye with the barest hints of something similar to affection in her hardened stare.

"No. Not yet. But you know what they say about never giving up on your dreams." Azula remarked in a supremely smug voice while she took a satisfied drink of her wine.

"I won't give up, Mistress. I strive to be the most snuggable girlfriend that I can be for you." Elle quipped while the princess rolled her elegant amber golden eyes.

"You are such a childish little thing...but fortunately for you I am here to make your decisions for you." Azula commented just as she reclined lazily in her throne while she suddenly smiled in a pleased manner when two soft hands began to massage her neck.

"I know. And I couldn't be happier." Elle agreed with a warm giggle while she leaned over the arm of Azula's throne with her palms carefully kneading her mistress's neck.

The princess sunk back upon her backside with a content sigh escaping her lips while she allowed her palms to fall into her lap.

This girl was such a good pet.

"A little lower." Azula spoke in a content voice while she felt the girl's dainty hands slide down upon command.

"If you say lower, Mistress, then I go lower. May I inquire what it is that you are reading?" Elle asked with a sweet smile while she rubbed at the princess's shoulders.

If any other servant would have the audacity to ask Azula about the details of her private notes she would have banished them without a second thought.

Yet not this one.

"A compilation of notes regarding one of my new techniques." Azula answered calmly while she took another drink of her wine.

No. She did not desire to punish her pet for asking.

Rather...she was pleased that the girl was so vested in learning as much as she could to be the optimal girlfriend.

"Oh! Will you please tell me about your new technique, Azula-sama? Please!" Elle pleaded just as she leaned over Azula's shoulder like a needy puppy.

"Hm. You are eager to learn more about my strength, aren't you?" Azula purred just as she turned to gaze at the girl boldly leaning over the arm of her golden throne.

"Of course, I do. You are the person that I want to spend the rest of my life with, Azula-sama. We should get to know each other as much as we can!" Elle exclaimed with a sunny smile before embracing the callous woman around her neckline.

Azula observed Elle with icy amber golden eyes to see the girl now affectionately pressing her face into her locks of dark hair.

It was almost as if the princess was considering removing Elle from her side.

Only to ultimately make no move to discipline the girl.

"I expect that such a thing would be in our best interests would it not?" Azula cooed with her fingernails once more brushing through her girlfriend's hair.
