Yeah, I think I'm going to change a few...personalities for some characters. I want this story to have nothing to do with the canon SM plot line so yup, expect characters to not act like you're use to. Especially Helios xD I know I haven't updated in a while, but hey, updating now is better than nothing!

Valkyrie Celes: Thanks for the list! Don't worry, those are plenty for me to use xD Nope, Black Lady is her own person and yeah, there is something fishy going on. You'll learn about that later...if Black Lady opens up about it.

DisneyFanGirl27: Glad you like this! I glad its refreshing from the norm c:

|Tea|

Helios wasn't sure how Black Lady, she wanted him to call her that, managed to get Diamond to leave the two of them alone—Diamond was most likely following and making sure Helios didn't over step his boundary—but he was now alone, with such a fine and well brought up woman. Not even his sister carried the atmosphere of grown and civil, a woman groomed for ruling. Then again, Small Lady never cared much about the throne and was more into fantasizing about the Dame of Silence, Hotaru (or the daughter of Queen Mars.) Serenity led them to a small tea room and rung a small bell near the door.

Helios took a seat in one of the armchairs, "Is tea fine with you?" Black Lady asked sitting across from him. The onyx floors glisten underneath the pale white lights and the dark purple curtains covered the windows. Two tea cabinets were behind him, abstract pictures hung on the wall, and four vases of plants were in the corners. A round dark purple furry rug was beneath his feet and a side table was on either side of him.

"It's fine." Helios couldn't help, but roam her body again. Such a pleasurable sight to see! Helios grinned on the inside. Wait until Generals Jadeite and Zoisite see the prize he was bringing home. Oh the look on their faces would be one he would enjoy.

Black Lady cocked her head, "If you don't mind me asking, but do you find me to your liking?"

You're more to my liking Helios wanted to say, "You are lovely my dear. I am sure our marriage will work out fine." For me! None of these other noble ladies could compare to Black Lady.

"Hn, my brothers always told me you had a fascination with Lady Berthier." How did she know this? Helios's lip twitched.

Okay, so maybe Helios did have a thing for Berthier—he wasn't sure what he found more enticing about her, body wise, but he was considering her as his wife until Lord Hawk snatched her away (the son of a bitch) and liked the show her off as a trophy. The nerve of that man. A smug smile appeared on his face. Hawk's Eye could have Berthier for all he cared, he had him the delight of a beautiful diamond in the dust.

Black Lady frowned, "I could never compete with Berthier." To hell with Berthier was all Helios was thinking. "We have been enemies for a long time and she always out shined me."

The door opened and a servant came into the room with a tray of tea and placed it on the long wooden table in front of them. Bowing, she exited the room—not without a glare his direction—and closed the door behind her. Black Lady poured the tea and Helios frowned. Was she jealous of Berthier? He would admit that Berthier had more…feminine attributes to her and an hourglass that was more visible than Black Lady. However, Black Lady seemed to draw him in somehow.

She brought the cup up to her delicate lips, he wondered…no, no he wouldn't think about that now, "But you are the princess. I would think it would be the other way around."

Black Lady shook her head, "I am…it is nothing. Let us drink our tea." She mumbled, a distant gaze appeared in her eyes.

Helios had a feeling she was hiding something. He wasn't going to push it, but he would allow Black Lady to tell him on her own. He glanced at the tea and had second thoughts on drinking it (would it be wrong if he didn't. I mean any prince should be precautious and then again, that servant had glared at him), he wasn't taking any chances.

So I do have a set history for Black Lady and Berthier will possibly be showing up later. Black Lady's history will not be sunshine and unicorns, that's for sure. :( Anyways, any reviews are appreciated! I always find it interesting what you think and thank you to Valkyrie Celes for supporting this story! I always smile when I read one of your reviews ^w^
