Prompt: This chapter was inspired by AwesomeGizmo and their idea of a flower necklace for Maleficent. Thank you so much!

Chapter 6: The Flowery Princess

With a sneaky glance over his shoulder, Diaval snatched up the abandoned wreath of flowers and quickly hid it behind his back. Aurora, now all of a six years old, had made it before running off at her aunties' calls, leaving the colourful assemblage of spring flowers lying on the stump of a tree. The meaning was clear.

And despite the brief flicker of fondness Diaval had seen on Maleficent's features, she didn't take the present.

Sneaking up close behind the faerie, Diaval stood on tiptoes and quickly dropped the wreath of flowers on her head, a huge grin on his face. He watched as the circlet slid down Maleficent's curved horns, only to stop midway where they flared elegantly. The flowers stood out starkly against the black of her attire, and when she turned to glare at him he merely smiled. Suspended halfway above her head, the wreath looked like a halo of colours, and Diaval thought that his Mistress was the closest thing to an angel he'd ever met.

Scowling, the faerie lifted the flower crown off her horns and unceremoniously dumped it on his own head. With an annoyed huff, she turned and walked away, only to look back over her shoulder after a few steps.

"My, my, you sure look pretty today, Diaval," she smiled mischievously. Inclining her head, she added, "I bow before the princess off the forest." Deciding to roll with it, Diaval picked up the hem of his black overcoat and dropped into a dainty curtsey. "You humble me with your attention, Queen of the Moors."

Maleficent let out an amused huff, rolled her eyes, then turned and continued on her ways.

Gently patting the flower crown and with a smile on his lips, Diaval followed his faerie into the vastness of their kingdom.
