"All yours and nobody else's, not even Phillip's."
The instant Maleficent heard that name her smile dampened, and Aurora saw it.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to bring him up. I was just trying to be…romantic." She tried explaining, but Malle placed a slender finger over the Queen's lips and gave her a small smile.
"I know what you were trying to be my love. I thought he was long gone anyway?" Aurora didn't answer immediately, instead her eyes kind of avoided Maleficent's. She drew her wings back, allowing the sun to touch their faces.
"Aurora." She said sternly, and the woman looked at Maleficent shyly.
"What's happened?"
"N-nothing! I swear!"
"Aurora." Maleficent's voice growing increasingly darker.
"He's…purposed at least four times within the past two months, and I almost just want to say yes just to shut him up. He's rather annoying, that one." Maleficent sighed, annoyance within the sound. She kissed Aurora on her lips and stroked her cheek.
"Would you like me to get rid of him for you?" Maleficent asked, her voice thick with anticipation, she was curious about Aurora's answer. But she didn't answer quickly again.
"How would you suggest we get rid of him? I don't want him physically harmed."
"I could just intimidate him? Scare him off?"
"Well, his kingdom is a vital trade and military partner. And his father is my closest ally, so I really don't want their heir to be intimidated to help my kingdom in any time of need."
"Well then what do you suggest?" The faery asked, giving Aurora a fake pouty lower lip, but she smiled anyway.
"Why don't I just tell him that I am engaged to somebody else?" Maleficent's brow rose at the suggestion.
"Oh? And who would you tell him you're 'engaged' to?"
"You, of course." Maleficent couldn't contain the grin that broke out on her lips; it was a prideful and pleasured smile. She chuckled at Aurora's answer, wholly enjoying the idea.
"And how do you think he will react to that?" Aurora shrugged at the next question.
"I'm not entirely sure. I guess we'll just have to find out then, shall we?"
"But what of your council? I'm absolutely sure that the boy will go preach his news to them, or citizens and word will each the ears of your advisors."
"Then I guess we'll have to actually get married then." Aurora countered almost immediately and smiled so brilliantly her smile rivaled the sun itself.
"Wait…what?"
