The Dance of the Princess and the Peasant – Chapter Thirteen
"A-Azula-sama?" Elle stuttered while the princess led her along through the royal market after paying for their meal.
"Yes?" Azula pondered while glancing down at her small admirer with stern yet patient amber golden eyes.
"Um…t-two questions…where are we going…and could you please lighten your grip on my wrist?" Elle squeaked in a mousy voice while the woman peered down at her with her brows furrowing.
But even so the woman lightened her grip almost as soon as she heard her voice that it was causing her pain.
Elle could only smile up at the regal princess in gratitude.
She may be cold and controlling…but she truly cared for her.
She knew that beyond all doubt.
"To dominate a party…where else?" Azula responded while she guided her young admirer through the streets with a gentler grip.
"I-I have never been to a party before Mistress…and I am just a peasant girl…" Elle mumbled in a fretful voice while following after her mistress's much taller frame.
"Peasant girl you are but you belong to me now. It is I, who decides where you stand in status…and if you refrain from broadcasting it with your every breath. Who would know?" Azula remarked while peering down at Elle's shy face with a strict countenance.
"Yes Azula-sama…I belong to you." Elle agreed happily while smiling wider as she gazed up at the regal woman's striking visage.
"As for the party…you wanted my guidance did you not? Just follow me…and you will never find yourself lacking in leadership." Azula declared while she glanced down at the girl with her lips curling into a refined smile.
"Wakarimashita Azula-sama!" Elle exclaimed before laughing warmly with a bright smile while peering up at Azula's taken aback expression.
The princess's amber golden eyes remained fixated upon the girl with just a sliver of fondness shimmering in the depths of her cold gaze.
Despite her best efforts she found herself unable to resist becoming fond of her admirer's innocence.
"Yes, Elle…wakarimashita." Azula sighed while brushing her bangs from her eyes in a seductive manner all the while Elle beamed up at her clearly enjoying her company.
"May…I ask my princess one more question?" Elle began with joy in her voice while the older girl stared down at her with her brows furrowing curiously.
"You just did." Azula stated with faint amusement in her voice while the girl blushed while she fidgeted under her imposing stare.
"C-could you elaborate…on your…i-interest in me?" Elle requested bashfully while averting her eyes from the princess's questioning gaze.
"Elaborate? What is there to explain Elle?" Azula responded in a smooth voice while turning to gaze down at her pet to note that the girl was cutely chewing on her lip.
"W-well Her Highness has told me that our friendship would be frowned upon…so we must keep it a secret between her inner circle…which I gather means that you will not hold my hand before the eyes of others in the palace." Elle mumbled while padding after the beautiful woman with her gaze remaining on the princess's striding boots.
"You have discerned the situation correctly. Before the eyes of others, you are just another servant." The princess stated curtly while glancing down at the petite girl's thoughtful little face.
"T-that is so Azula-sama. This is why I sleep in the servant's quarters…it is a servant's place. Even Her Highness's favorite servant." Elle chimed while smiling shyly while Azula still held onto her hand with a controlled grip.
"Correct once more. My favorite servant is still a servant…but even so. My favorite girl receives many honors that no other servant will ever taste. So, what has you so confused?" Azula pondered with her fingers curling beneath her chin while peering down at Elle's dainty face.
"It…is another matter that confuses me…will you hear me out Mistress?" Elle continued with her eyes peering down at the woman's pointed boots walking slowly through the street.
"Hm. Am I not already?" Azula cooed in an amused voice while smirking before placing her other fist upon her hip.
"I-I am just a young lowborn girl. I-I…know nothing of sexual desire…and just as little of the larger world…of any world. M-my only talents are poetry and painting…" Elle trailed off with a slight drop in self esteem while Azula stared down at her in a grudgingly concerned manner.
Who would have ever thought the day would come when Princess Azula concerned herself with a peasant girl's feelings?
Yet Azula found that she did indeed care.
She just…wasn't used to voicing such a feeling.
The moonlight shimmered over a lake while the princess's brows arose when the petite girl tugged on her as if requesting for her to take her by the waterside.
And just like that Azula shrugged her shoulders while she guided Elle alongside her as they strode in the direction of the lake.
The girl was beyond well behaved.
It was just one trait of many that she was coming to enjoy about her.
"I-I don't even know w-what two girls d-do together." Elle stuttered out in such an adorable way that had the princess peering down at her with entertained eyes.
"You are an innocent little thing…but I confess that I like that. I will enlighten your little mind in time…judging by the way you gaze at my backside you are just now beginning to consider the desires of the body." Azula commented while she gazed down at the girl's now reddening face with a smug smile on her lovely lips.
Her little admirer was so pure that she didn't even know what oral sex was!
But rather than be displeased she was vastly pleased by her pet's untainted innocence.
She has come to realize that the idea of guiding and teaching such a young girl was highly appealing in all aspects.
"I-I have been finding my eyes drawn to your…b-bottom but I only know that I find it beautiful…as is the rest of Her Highness. I-I have no clue what one girl does with…another girl's…um bottom…" Elle explained lamely with her cheeks heating up intensely while the older girl's amused chuckles floated into her ears.
"Mhm. Fret not my pet. I will guide you…" Azula purred with a hint of sensual desire in her voice while she held onto the young girl's hand as they now stood gazing out across the riverfront.
"B-but there is one thing that I do know." Elle mumbled while the woman glanced down at her through the corner of her eye.
"Oh? And what is that?" Azula asked while leaning on the railing with Elle grasping at her toned bicep.
"My h-heart beats for you…it speeds up so wonderfully whenever I am in your presence." Elle confessed while peering up at Azula's surprised visage with a warm smile on her lips.
Once more Princess Azula was rendered speechless for the briefest of moments by this young girl.
This was the first time…that anyone has told her that their heart beats for her.
"W-whether I am serving you breakfast…or seated beside you at the dinner table. Y-you make my heart flutter…you provide me warmth Azula-sama. I-I just want to spend my life beside you…" Elle stammered with her hands tugging on the tall woman's clothed belly while her princess glanced down at her with a taken aback amber golden gaze.
"Your heart flutters for me…" Azula spoke in a tone that she hoped was not too cruel while the girl gulped as she nodded while she averted her little eyes once again.
"T-that's so Your Highness…which is why I wish to ask you…" Elle responded with a nervous swallow while the woman stood above her with her brows furrowing curiously.
"Ask me what?" Azula pondered while tilting her head as she peered down at her little admirer with her usual imposing stare.
"I-if Her Highness deems me…her girl. Is she the sort…to keep her girl in a separate bed…in the servant's chamber? O-or would her Highness deem her girl…snuggable?" Elle questioned in mousy voice as she held a hand to her blushing cheek while Azula glanced down blinking in a comical manner.
"That's it? That's what you wanted to ask me? If I find you…snuggable?" Azula snorted while shifting above her servant with clear amusement in her domineering eyes.
"Y-yes. I wish to know if Azula-sama is the sort of woman that would cuddle with her girl in her personal chambers…or…if such a thing is of no interest to you." Elle concluded as she chewed on her lip while gazing down at the shimmering waters.
There was brief moment of silence before the regal woman's voice resonated into the night air.
"The Crown Princess of the Fire Nation has no time for such weak sentimentality." Azula announced with her callous glare as well as her words abruptly crushing the innocent girl's hopes.
Her eyes were fixated in a merciless stare while she observed the girl release her grip upon her robes.
And strange as it was, she felt a twinge of concern upon seeing her admirer become so downcast.
"O-oh…as you say Azula-sama." Elle murmured in a tiny voice like a heartbroken puppy while Azula folded her arms over her breasts before sighing in annoyance.
"However.…" Azula trailed off while she stared down at the girl with her words causing her young companion to snap her head upward.
The petite girl's amber eyes were now gazing up at her with just a bit more cheer than a moment ago.
And curiously enough…she felt a flicker of relief.
Then Azula cleared her throat regally before touching her chin with her left hand.
"If I deem you…my girl…I just may consider indulging your silly impulses. But only…and I mean only…if you can keep it to yourself." Azula declared as she lazily examined her left fist while glancing down at Elle's rapidly returning smile.
"M-my princess finds me snuggable?" Elle asked with a cute stutter while peering up at the towering princess's glaring countenance.
"You are marginally adorable….and that is all that I will say on the matter." Azula stated strictly before lowering her hand to her side when a blonde blur impacted with her belly.
The sound of Azula grunting angrily resounded into the night air while Elle now clung to her stomach with her eyes agape in boundless joy.
"Release me servant!" Azula hissed with her eyes narrowing into an imposing death stare while she continued to try to pry Elle off of her lower belly.
"Mistress Azula deems me snuggable-" Elle cried out only to find herself being muted by a mighty hand clamping over her mouth.
"Be silent pet or I will discipline you." Azula commanded while pointing a domineering finger down at the now intimidated girl's little nodding face.
"Y-yes Mistress Azula." Elle mumbled in a muffled voice with her mistress's warm palm still covering her mouth.
"Just…continue to be a good girl…and we shall see if you are my girl." Azula purred in a silken yet dominant voice while staring down into Elle's spellbound amber eyes.
"Yes Princess! I am a good girl for Her Highness!" Elle chirped with a radiant smile forming on her innocent lips while Azula peered down at her in approval.
"Hm. So well behaved…I think you just may be my girl." Azula cooed in a seductive voice before reaching down to pat her little admirer's head of plush blonde locks.
Yes, indeed she could certainly see the merit in taking the girl as her own.
Young, beautiful, innocent, submissive and practically begging for her guidance.
She was hers to shape and mold as she saw fit.
A potential lover who would never think of anyone but herself.
Never know anything but Azula.
"A-Azula-sama is home…." Elle gushed while tugging on the spoiled woman's red robes while she inclined her head submissively just as the strong hand began to pet her.
"I suppose I am. Now let us get going hm?" Azula spoke in a charismatic voice while smirking fondly down at her petite handmaid's lovely face.
"I go where Azula-sama goes. Simply give the command and I will follow." Elle declared with her hands folded before her belly as she peered up into pleased amber golden eyes.
"Now that I like to hear. Come…Elle." Azula commanded just before snapping her fingers in a supremely strict manner.
She watched in delight as Elle speedily straightened before she gave her an adorable bow.
"As you say Your Highness. Always as you say." Elle agreed with a joyous smile while the woman peered down at her bowing form in approval.
"You are indeed a good girl. I like that." Azula commented before turning to walk away while listening to Elle began scurrying after her.
All the while carrying her backpack and shopping bags slung over her shoulders.
"I am overjoyed that Her Highness thinks so. As long as I have your approval…I am happy." Elle stated sweetly while trailing after the much taller princess.
The princess peered over her shoulder with her arms folded over her breasts trying her hardest to conceal her ever rising affections for her young admirer.
"One more thing servant…I hereby order you to pay no mind to what the other servants say of your…peculiar personality. You have nothing to be ashamed of…you have a place beside me…they do not." Azula announced with her head turned as she gazed over her shoulder at the young girl's astonished expression.
And then without even speaking another word she continued to walk ahead of her loyal servant who was staring after her with grateful amber eyes.
"Yes Azula-sama. I will live by your words of wisdom and they have now been forever committed to my memory!" Elle cheered while bouncing after the princess's strolling form with joy in her every step.
Though Elle did not get a glimpse of the woman's face in that moment.
Azula sighed with a ghost of a smile now adorning her cruel lips.
What a splendid little pet indeed.
The two girls were abruptly torn from their thoughts by the sound of Ty Lee's voice which prompted them to turn to see the two noblewomen approaching them.
"Azula! Will you please stop running off on us!" Ty Lee called out while walking up with Mai comically wearing Elle's headset.
"I do as I please Ty Lee. It would seem that your tracking skills are not up to par with your chi blocking…" Azula scoffed with her hands on her hips with Elle now standing beside her waving at the approaching noblewomen.
"Whatever you say Azula…" Ty Lee sighed but smiled even so as she gazed at their young companion's lovable face.
"Hi Ty Lee! Hi Mai! I missed you both!" Elle exclaimed with her right hand grasping at the princess's clothed belly in a needy manner.
"Hi little sister!" Ty Lee cooed while Azula elegantly rolled her eyes before turning to glance down at Elle.
"They were only gone for ten minutes." Azula snorted while the gloomy noble walked up while removing the headphones.
"Ten minutes is far too long to be away from my oneesans." Elle chimed while the two women gazed back at her with fond eyes.
"We missed you too Shorty. You left this." Mai greeted with her usual expression while reaching down to hand the young girl her music player.
"Arigatou gozaimasu oneesan!" Elle exclaimed as she unzipped her backpack before putting it away with Mai down at her with a small smile on her lips.
"So where is Azula taking you now Elle?" Ty Lee pondered while gazing down at the chipper blonde striding alongside her leader.
"Azula-sama is going to show me how she dominates a party!" Elle responded joyously while Ty Lee turned to visibly cringe at the woman in question.
"A party Azula? You do remember what happened the last time you went to a party?" Mai inquired while she gazed on in a dull manner.
"Azula…this is Elle's first time drinking and you're bringing her to a party? She's already had enough." Ty Lee reasoned while peering down at Elle walking with a slight sway to her step.
Elle was the only one amongst them that even seemed affected by what they've had thus far.
"Ugh! She'll be fine Ty Lee. It is only going to be for a short while. What are you? Her mother now?" Azula snapped with her fists on her hips while turning to stare at her subordinate with icy amber golden eyes.
"No, I am not. But I am her big sister now. And you should know that if anyone of us has the role of mother Azula…it's you." Ty Lee retorted while smiling at the sight of Azula scowling down at Elle's blushing face.
"I am not the girl's mother!" Azula growled while she stomped down the street with the girl following after her feet like a young turtle duckling.
"No, but you are her caretaker now. Which is almost the same thing." Mai teased with evident amusement while Azula glared between the two of them.
"And what if I am? As her…caretaker I will show her how I dominate this night into submission!" Azula declared while holding a burning fist before her face while her friends stared on in entertainment.
And without delay they heard the sound of excited clapping while they gazed down at the girl beaming up at the merciless princess.
"You go Azula-sama! You're so awe inspiring! I just know I'll flourish under your guidance!" Elle chirped with glee while Azula peered down at her smiling in a refined manner.
"Of course, you will! I am now in charge of your developing little mind. You are in capable hands my little pet." Azula boasted as she patted the girl's shoulder while she examined her clenched fist in a conceited manner.
The announcement sent shivers down the spines of both noblewomen while they exchanged a worried glance.
"I-I am Her Highness's favorite servant…her little pet." Elle repeated in an honored voice while she began to walk once more with her mistress's hand still holding her close.
"Please Azula…please in the name of Agni don't try to twist Elle's innocent mind. She's…already been tortured enough." Ty Lee pleaded while gazing at the two with a smile despite her inner concerns.
"Oh, relax Ty Lee. She has Princess Azula as her mentor now…by default she is guaranteed to thrive." Azula insisted while turning to her worried friend with a smug smile.
"Right." Mai stated dryly while scoffing as she eyed Elle with mutual concern.
"Now let's go to the Fire Club!" Azula announced with a smirk while guiding the joyful girl forward with her two-childhood friends reluctantly following.
"Azula…if we do this, I just want to make sure…she gets to sleep in tomorrow right?" Ty Lee inquired while her spoiled leader gazed at her snorting.
"Absolutely not. I must have my breakfast at seven on the dot." Azula remarked with her two friends staring at her in disbelief.
"On the dot! Not a minute later or Her Highness gets grouchy." Elle commented with cheer that earned her another pat on the head from her princess.
"You're serious? You are taking a thirteen-year-old out to get drunk for the first time in her life…and you really think she'll be doing anything but puking tomorrow morning?" Mai questioned while staring down at the young girl's now concerned face.
"W-what? I can't get sick! Azula-sama needs her wakeup tea at seven…and then breakfast right after that…and then I must clean her chambers at ten…and then Her Highness has lunch no later than noon! And after then after that she has me scheduled to be trained in serving her beauty treatments in the royal spa! And that's not even the entire day!" Elle explained in a hurried manner while Azula glanced down at her with pleased amber golden eyes.
The two noblewomen stood there with their mouths ajar in amazement all the while staring down at their adopted sister in a newfound pity.
"Serving you beauty treatments in the royal spa Azula? Is it really necessary for her to do that tomorrow?" Ty Lee queried while staring at her demanding leader with pleading eyes.
"Of course, it is! I happen to value my beauty treatments, and I will not have my beautiful hands and feet neglected by poor hygiene. It is absolutely necessary that my pet learns how I like to have my body serviced." Azula insisted with her arms folded over her bust while the girl beamed up at her.
"Understood! I will take detailed notes on the entire process!" Elle assured while smiling up at Azula's smug face with loyal amber eyes.
"Then maybe we should go back. There's no way she is going to be functional if you take her to the Fire Club." Mai suggested with a bored voice while Elle still gazed up at Azula with increased worry in her eyes.
"I haven't even recorded Her Highness's daily orders yet! I-I don't want to get in trouble! W-what if Azula-sama decides to kick me out if I don't wake up? I-I'm her good girl…not her bad girl…" Elle rambled while chewing on her lip with her little eyes peering up at her mistress in a distraught manner.
"Azula isn't going to be kicking you out…under any circumstances. Especially not when she is the one insisting on getting you drunk Elle." Ty Lee assured gently while touching the panicking girl's shoulder.
"Calm yourself Elle. It will be fine." Azula instructed while turning to peer down at her fretting pet with approving eyes.
"B-but Azula-sama I don't want to jeopardize our friendship by making you angry…we have a routine going…what if I lose breakfast rights…" Elle mumbled pitifully while she padded alongside the princess like a saddened puppy.
"Azula…if you are taking her out can't the poor girl at least sleep in?" Ty Lee urged with desperation in her voice while Azula gazed down at the girl a she let out a sigh.
"Fine. Just this once…I will have breakfast fifteen minutes later than usual." Azula announced while she examined her fist in a spoiled manner.
"Fifteen minutes? That's the best you can do?" Ty Lee asked in disbelief with her eyes gazing incredulously at her entitled friend's face.
"I suppose…I could have breakfast a half hour later." Azula trailed off with a finger on her chin while Elle listened as she nodded attentively.
"Why not…eleven?" Ty Lee pondered while rolling her eyes when Azula spun around now with a scowl on her lips.
"Eleven! Absolutely not." Azula snapped with her hands on her shapely hips as she continued to stroll beside the petite girl.
"Azula…it's already dark out. She won't be in bed until at least twelve. This is absurd. You wanted to take the girl out…you need to cut her some slack. It was your idea. Not hers." Mai commented while staring at Azula's frowning face as she gazed down at Elle.
"I-I can't be up until twelve…I am going to get in major trouble…Azula-sama please take me back." Elle whined while she tugged on the sighing princess's sleeve.
"Come have one drink with us. And then we will take you back. I will have breakfast and tea just this once…at eight on the dot. And as a one-time courtesy…I will allow you to return to bed afterward if you are still feeling sick." Azula spoke while she peered down at the girl's grateful face before she continued to lead her along.
The compromise truly took both Mai and Ty Lee by surprise.
All things considered it was a pretty generous offer considering that this was Azula they were talking about.
"A-arigatou gozaimasu Azula-sama." Elle squeaked before hiccupping with a flush on her cheeks while the three highborn women gazed down at her in humor.
"Well…at least you'll let her go back to bed. Though it does look like she's already had enough…" Ty Lee sighed yet smiled even so now that the girl will be allowed to sleep it off.
"Oh, hush Ty Lee. She is my pet. Not yours. And not Mai's." Azula declared with her hand on the girl's head while she gazed at her annoyed friends.
"How many times do we have to tell you…" Ty Lee began in a frustrated manner only for Azula to literally wave off her concerns.
"Let us go conquer the Fire Club…the invasion begins now! Follow me Elle and we will dominate this night for all time!" Azula called out with her lips curling into a violent smile while Elle gazed up at her with excited amber eyes.
"Oh Azula-sama! You are such a confident speaker!" Elle gushed while swooning with a hand on her buzzed cheek with her big sisters gazing on humorously all the while.
"Ah. Indeed I am. Now let's go have a drink." Azula concluded as she led the girl through the streets while her two friends exchanged a knowing glance.
The girl's squeaking along with a hiccup or two were all they heard of Elle before Azula vanished with her once more.
Heading in the direction of the prestigious Fire Club.
"May as well follow…that girl will be doomed if she doesn't have someone sane to watch over her." Mai sighed while Ty Lee nodded in agreement.
"Yeah. You're right about that." Ty Lee agreed before rushing after the bizarre duo.
About twenty minutes later…
After leaving her backpack and shopping bags in an area that Azula assured her would be safe.
Elle was striding with her young eyes peering about while she waved at people left and right.
All the while her as Ty Lee and Mai followed behind her observing comically as people turned away in terror.
"Hello!" Elle greeted with cheer while the princess stood over her shoulder giving every person that she greeted an icy stare.
The terrifying gaze of Azula sent a young woman running the opposite direction while Elle held a finger to her chin in confusion.
"Is it something I said? Why is everyone afraid of me?" Elle pondered while walking through the huge club as she chewed on her lip thoughtfully.
"It would seem that there is something about you that intimidates people. I must be rubbing off on you." Azula remarked with her hands on her hips while Elle peered up at her with a saddened countenance.
"Yeah…that's gotta be it Azula." Ty Lee stated while gazing about sighing as they advanced into the club.
"But I don't want people to be intimidated by me. Please come back! We can be friends…" Elle called out in a confused voice.
While the two noblewomen watched in amusement as the girl ran away as fast as her legs could carry her.
"Fret not Elle. Even if others are too afraid to approach you…still have me." Azula declared in a silken voice while she pated the sulking girl's shoulder.
"Arigatou gozaimasu Azula-sama…" Elle trailed off while peering up at Azula's divine face with grateful amber eyes.
"Hm. No need to thank me…but I appreciate it all the same." Azula purred while she ignored Mai's deadpan glance as they made their way to get drinks.
"Still…maybe I just need to work on my approach…" Elle mumbled adorably while walking with the smirking princess looming over her shoulder.
"It could be a factor beyond your control." Mai stated with her arms folded over her bust while glancing at Azula to note the woman gazing down at the girl in an eerily possessive manner.
"I know! Perhaps I should tell a joke!" Elle exclaimed while slamming her fists together with Ty Lee smiling down at her.
"Maybe little sister…maybe…" Ty Lee stated gently before coming to a stop at the bar counter.
"Y-your Highness! How may I help you!" The bartender cried out while he speedily rushed forward to greet the stoic woman.
"Four sorghum liquors." Azula ordered strictly with her hands folded behind her back while standing beside the small blonde.
"W-woah hold on Azula! Sorghum liquor for Elle? She's not going to be waking up at eight if you give her that!" Ty Lee protested with her words instantly provoking the dutiful girl into another state of worry.
"A-Azula-sama I don't want to lose my breakfast rights…" Elle murmured fretfully while the princess turned to peer down at her sighing softly.
"I won't take away your breakfast privileges…now fret no more. Is that understood?" Azula commented with her hand under her chin while Elle nodded with a relieved smile on her young lips.
"Y-yes Azula-sama. I understand." Elle answered while peering up at her mistress as she turned to gaze upon the waiting bartender
"That is still too strong for her Azula…" Mai remarked while the princess frowned while she examined her fingernails.
"Three sorghum liquors…and one light sorghum liquor mixed with juice." Azula explained with a wave of her hand before her elegant face.
"Understood Princess. Right away." The older man agreed before quickly going about pouring the drinks.
The two noblewomen still gazed at their leader and their young companion with clearly concerned gazes.
"What? I watered it down." Azula scoffed while ignoring their looks just as the drinks were set down before them.
"Yes but…" Ty Lee trailed off while gazing down at Elle's mixed drink just as the princess handed it to the timid girl.
"It will be fine Ty Lee. Now just shut up and take your liquor." Azula commanded with her drink in hand while her friend nodded as she followed suit.
The foursome walked through the expansive club.
All the while Elle peered about in awe as she listened to the live band playing with huge crowds socializing with one another.
"This place is so big Azula-sama…what are those machines over there?" Elle inquired while peering up at the regal woman for guidance.
"Gambling machines. They are for lesser minds." Azula responded with a haughtiness about her while Elle continued to gaze about with childish wonder in her gaze.
"What sort of card game are those people playing?" Elle asked with her hand pointing at a table where a group of men sat playing against one another.
"Also gambling. Men find the game addictive. Also, for lesser minds." Azula answered while inwardly finding the girl's childlike curiosity to be endearing.
"Can we play games together sometime Azula-sama?" Elle requested innocently while Ty Lee giggled as she gazed up at the ruthless woman's callous visage.
"Games?" Azula repeated while peering down at her young admirer with stoic amber golden eyes.
"Like a board game! I like board games! Will you play board games with me Your Highness?" Elle pleaded as she tugged on the woman's sleeve while Azula gazed down at her with her nose scrunching up over the odd request.
"Princess Azula doesn't-" Azula trailed off angrily when a hand clamped down over her mouth as she glared back at Ty Lee leaning over her shoulder.
"Azula would love to Elle! She is your best friend after all." Ty Lee spoke with a bright grin while Mai snorted in amusement.
Azula swiftly slapped the other woman's palm off her face nearly lashing out.
Until she glanced down sighing to see Elle gazing up at her with an innocent smile while the girl continued to pull on her robes.
"Azula-sama…you are the best friend that I could ever ask for." Elle stated while staring up at the princess deadpan visage in admiration.
"Should there be a repeat of this…I will destroy you." Azula informed while glancing over her shoulder at the cheerful Ty Lee before returning her attentions to her young admirer.
"I can't wait to play board games with my princess." Elle commented while walking through the club with her drink in hand.
"Mhm. Nor can I. The excitement is just killing me." Azula remarked wryly while drinking her liquor.
The small blonde noticed the older girl's drinking so she boldly began to take a swig of her mixed drink.
Moments later Elle was flicking her tongue about in an uncertain manner while the three women stared down at her in amusement.
"It tastes…b-bitter." Elle stuttered with a hiccup while the princess gazed down at her.
"I suppose it is good that I watered it down…careful. I don't need you falling and getting bruised again." Azula sighed with her hand bracing Elle's shoulder while the girl peered up at her with pink cheeks.
"Yes…as you say Azula-sama…hey! I have an idea. Let's go socialize some more. Maybe we'll make a new friend?" Elle chirped while strolling ahead of Azula with her words causing her big sisters to flinch.
"Yes…perhaps we will." Azula replied in a devious voice while staring down at her folded fist in a smug manner.
"Do you have any advice for me Azula-sama? You're so brilliant that you must have all sorts of advice!" Elle requested sweetly while gazing up at her mistress's graceful visage.
"You're better off asking Ty Lee Shorty…Azula doesn't know a thing about-" Mai spoke only to be silenced by the princess's hand pushing her aside.
Ty Lee in question just sighed while observing the woman's domineering behavior.
"You've chosen correctly Elle. Always remember…that your mistress is much smarter than your sisters'." Azula spoke as she peered down at Elle's beaming face while placing her fist upon her hip.
"Always ask Azula-sama. She knows everything. Got it." Elle agreed while peering up at the tall woman's smiling face.
"That's right. I am a people person…you see." Azula purred with her friends staring at her back in deadpan while the young girl gazed up at her.
"U-understood. Please lend me your wisdom Princess." Elle pleaded while clutching at her drink with a childish smile on her lips.
"Give them your…best roar." Azula cooed before waving her hand lazily while her entourage gazed down in humor at the excited teenager's rapidly nodding face.
"What a great idea! I'll pretend to be an alien invader. Thanks, Azula-sama!" Elle chirped before turning to stride off with pride in her step while the three women turned to observe in amusement.
"She's so cute Azula." Ty Lee commented while Azula tipped back the remainder of her drink with a refined smile about her.
"She's a lovely little thing. I won't deny that." Azula remarked with a trace of desire lining her voice that had Mai eying her wearily.
A small group of girl's stood chatting with one another only to turn their heads when the jovial blonde approached.
"Hello!" Elle greeted while the four girls eyed her oddly while sharing a glance with one another.
"…Uh…hi." The oldest girl answered with a noticeable bite to her voice that flew over the younger girl's head.
"It really is a good thing that we're here with her." Mai said with an edge to her voice while Ty Lee nodded as they gazed at the group of clearly mean girl's.
"So…is there a reason that you're talking to us?" Another girl asked in a bitchy voice while staring back at Elle's joyful yet bruised face.
Unbeknownst to the unfortunate girl's Azula was casually making her way over with her hands folded behind her back.
The sight of Princess Azula approaching through the throngs of people with her two subordinates at her back was enough to silence even the boldest of people.
"I am here to inform you that I am an alien from another planet. And I am here to destroy your world!" Elle announced while puffing out her chest all the while peering back at the speechless girls with a playful grin on her innocent face.
There was a brief pause where no one spoke while the four girls stared back at Elle as if she had just grown a second head before their very eyes.
"Uh…okay…." The first girl trailed off while stifling her mocking laugh only to pale in terror when she saw a much-dreaded figure step up behind the girl.
Azula now stood behind Elle with her signature imposing death stare aiming at each and every one of the paling girl's.
Ty Lee was cheerily waving at the foursome while Mai stood holding her drink in a mildly humored manner.
"Rawr!" Elle exclaimed mightily after releasing a great intake of air while she stood with her hands on her developing hips.
In that very moment the sadistic princess's hands lit up with burning blue fire while the two noblewomen stared on in comedy over the silly scene.
And just like that the four girls were cowering in a terror so great that it was a wonder they didn't piss themselves on the spot.
"M-mercy! W-we're sorry if we were rude! J-just please don't hurt us!" The oldest girl stammered in a terrified voice while peering up at the princess's callous face before spinning around to sprint away as if her life depended on it.
Her three friends speedily followed suit with their drinks falling to the floor with a faint clang.
All the while Elle blinked in a show of adorable confusion while gazing down at the stained flooring.
The girls had even abandoned their drinks in their frenzied panic.
"Was I that scary?" Elle pondered in a bewildered voice while her two big sisters stared down at her in a humorous show of pity.
"It would appear that people are intimidated by your smile. There must be something about you that puts people on edge." Azula remarked with her hand on Elle's shoulder while her two friends tried not to roll their eyes.
"O-oh…. well I sure wish I knew what the problem was." Elle murmured while the woman's hand began to usher her onward once more.
"I suppose your roar is just too fearsome…" Azula trailed off while staring at her fist with a cold smile on her controlling lips.
"Yeah. Azula, it's gotta be the roar." Ty Lee stated while gazing at the woman in question with chiding brown-gray eyes.
"Maybe it's not you. Maybe it's someone else." Mai spoke while turning to the princess who glanced back with feigned innocence.
"Well…it's alright. I still have my best friend…Azula-sama…and my two wonderful oneesans." Elle spoke with returning smile while gazing up at the three women in adoration.
The girl's gentle words were truly touching, even to Mai and Azula.
"Aww! Snuggle time!" Ty Lee squealed just as she crushed the smaller girl in a tight hug.
The other two women watched the scene while the princess began to tap her boot the longer the hug went on.
"S-snuggle time with my oneesan!" Elle exclaimed happily with her head pushing against the other woman's breasts.
"You are just too cute!" Ty Lee cooed while peering down at Elle's blushing face with affectionate eyes.
"That's enough Ty Lee. Get off my pet." Azula ordered just as she pushed the other woman's pouting face off the smaller girl.
"She's not your…never mind…why bother." Ty Lee sighed while their young companion stood smiling up at the princess in admiration.
"Azula-sama…will you come listen…to the band with me?" Elle pondered shyly while fidgeting under the woman's stern stare.
"Oh…very well." Azula remarked with a lazy shrug of her shoulders all the while observing her little admirer's overjoyed smile.
"M-my princess charming…" Elle gushed while swooning dreamily as she was pulled in the direction of the music.
"You two have fun!" Ty Lee called out while waving after the two with Mai staring on in a bored manner.
"I am getting tired." Mai complained with a slight yawn while the other woman smiled in a reassuring manner.
"I am sure we'll be going soon. It's not like Elle can drink much more…she'll pass out if she does." Ty Lee explained while nervously scratching her cheek.
It wasn't too long later that Azula stood with yet another drink in hand while observing Elle finish the remainder of her mixed drink.
The two stood listening to the live band while Elle swayed happily to the music with a noticeably intoxicated shakiness to her step.
All along the two noblewomen sat at a table observing Azula in amazement.
The princess was behaving…surprisingly considerate for once.
Just when Elle almost staggered off her feet, she was swiftly caught by Azula's strict hand while she hung from her grip gazing up at the princess with a warmth overcoming her cheeks.
"I distinctly recall telling you to be careful." Azula stated with her hand pulling the young handmaid up while the girl blushed all the while under her stern stare.
"Y-yes…my princess. Forgive…me." Elle spoke with a more prominent slur than before while she smiled softly up at the powerful woman.
"Once more…you are fortunate that I am fond of you. Compassion…doesn't proceed my reputation." Azula purred while she held the girl's wrist while she peered down into love-struck amber eyes.
"It doesn't matter Azula-sama…you're good to me…and that is what matters most to me." Elle responded while gazing back up into the older girl's entrancing amber golden eyes.
Those were curious words that brought a smile to Azula's face while she held a finger to her chin thoughtfully.
"You are a pacifist…and it doesn't matter to you that I am not?" Azula pondered with her amused gaze observing the carefree girl smile as she grasped at her hand.
"We are polar opposites Your Highness…I adore you as you are. I wouldn't have you any other way…" Elle stated with her dainty hand clutching at the firebender's stronger palm.
Those words too…were pleasing or so Azula mused.
"And you too…are fine as you are. I would be displeased…if you were any different…" Azula remarked with her hardened voice betraying a rare sliver of fondness for her lovely admirer.
The small blonde began to laugh joyfully in response to the princess's statement.
The girl's jovial laughter had Azula furrowing her brows in a questioning manner yet all the same she was finding that she enjoyed the sound of her servant's giggle.
"Your honor me Mistress Azula…may this servant make another request of Her Highness?" Elle commented as she smiled oh so softly under the callous woman's imposing gaze before bowing her head respectfully.
"Another request?" Azula questioned with a smirk upon her refined lips while staring down in approval as she watched her pet bow at the waist.
"W-will you dance with me Mistress Azula?" Elle murmured in a timid voice with her eyes all the while peering down at the regal woman's pointed boots.
The words hit Azula harder than she let on.
She was peering down at Elle's delicate face with surprised amber golden eyes all the while noting that she always bows before requesting anything of her.
"You are asking the Crown Princess of the Fire Nation to dance with you? Is that right?" Azula purred with her lips curling into a gratified smile while the smaller girl grasped at her palm.
"T-that's so…if I am out of line…I apologize." Elle spoke before widening her eyes when the princess pulled her out of her bow before seizing her other hand.
"Hm. Very well my pet…your mistress accepts." Azula announced in an alluring voice that flowed into Elle's ears like the music they were listening to.
"Azula-sama…" Elle whined while swooning when Azula began to gently guide her in an elegant dance.
In that very moment even, Ty Lee spat out her drink all the while gazing on with her eyes the size of dinner plates.
Mai's mouth hung open in astonishment as she shared another glance with Ty Lee before they both gazed on in disbelief to see Azula slow dancing with Elle.
"You are the first person to ever ask me for my hand in a dance…and the first to give me a flower." Azula revealed while gracefully spinning with the young girl peering up at her in shock.
"R-really?" Elle blurted with a slight slur to her speech while the regal woman spun her around once more.
"I will not be repeating such a statement…and if you tell anyone…I will punish you severely." Azula whispered in a voice of upmost domination while smiling when Elle shivered in delight in her arms.
"O-oh I love it when you talk like that…please guide this young girl with your great strength." Elle pleaded with wanting in her innocent voice while blushing as she slid underneath the princess's arm.
The very sight of Princess Azula dancing had many people to pause their own activities as they watched the woman lead her young partner in a dance in shock.
"I must confess that you are rather precious…begging and pleading for my dominance with your every breath. Most must be forced to kneel…but you…want to bow before me." Azula declared while peering down at her young admirer's heated cheeks all the while savoring her submission.
"I-I cherish you more than life itself…yes…I wish to bow before you. I…want to spend my life beside you…from this day…until my last day…" Elle trailed off in a passionate voice while amber golden eyes now gazed down at her in surprise.
Now that was one thing that Azula wasn't used to.
Listening to someone declare such moving words of loyalty…a devotion so great that she was hesitant to break the girl's pure hearted spirit.
"I've already stated that I will be keeping you…Elle. I have long since concluded that I am the only woman that will suit you. There is no one more dominant than me…and there is no one…more fragile than you. So be it…little angel. I will enshroud you with my strength. Follow me…and I will lead you down the path ahead." Azula announced with a charming smirk just as she caught Elle's quivering little body within her arms.
Elle gasped while staring up into Azula's enrapturing eyes all the while the woman's dark hair fell over her face just barely touching her skin.
Long blonde hair swayed below the lovely young girl while the princess confidently held onto her hands leading her across the floor of the club.
"A-are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Ty Lee questioned while rubbing at her eyes blinking all the while.
"Seeing it but not believing it." Mai replied in a voice of unusual disbelief while gazing at the stunning scene.
"Azula-sama…please enshroud me in your strength…envelop me…submerge me…possess me…my exquisite princess charming." Elle spoke with ardor overflowing from her voice while peering up into the princess's delighted amber golden eyes.
Elle hung in mid air while staring up at Azula who was now breathing warm air over her shivering face all the while her crimson lips were now forming a beyond gratified smile.
Why if she didn't know any better the mighty princess was exhaling azure embers that were fading away into the club air just as soon as they were born.
"I think…that you just may be my girl. But I will forewarn you…this is your final chance to run away. Once I proceed any further…there will be no escape. If you wish to lead a life without me…then turn around and run away…and don't look back…if you do not…well…need I really go on?" Azula explained in a smooth voice with her imposing stare causing the handmaiden to peer up at her with her enchanted amber eyes agape in unbridled bliss.
Due to their proximity the two noblewomen heard the princess's possessive declaration.
And if you asked Mai that girl was a fool for not turning around and running as fast as her legs could carry her.
"Why…would I ever want to run away? I…have never felt this free. Here I have flowed…like a feather in the breeze…and I have landed in the palm of your hand. I have no intentions on leaving a princess this magnificent…" Elle stated in a voice laced with contentment while smiling serenely up into stunned amber golden eyes.
Right then and there both Mai and Ty Lee knew that Elle had just sealed her fate.
There was no turning back from Azula now.
If the girl ever tried to leave, they knew that the princess would track her down.
But if you asked Ty Lee it was still sweet, very sweet.
"Have it your way Elle…I am going to consume you whole…I will…devour you. There is no escape from me now." Azula hissed mere inches from Elle's face while gracefully swinging the blushing girl across the floor of the Fire Club.
In that instance a look of adorable naivety overcame the joyous teenager while she peered back into the princess's captivating amber golden eyes.
"Huh? You are going to eat me? I would prefer it if you didn't cannibalize me Azula-sama." Elle asked with an innocent blink of her eyes while Azula now gazed back at her incredulously.
The small blonde's absurd question had both noblewomen staring at her humorously.
"That was a figure of…never mind! No, I am not going to eat you! Silly girl. Take note that I am rolling my eyes…" Azula snorted while gazing back at the petite girl's embarrassed face just as they spun once more.
"S-sumimasen Azula-sama…" Elle murmured with a faint drop in cheer while the regal woman peered down at her sighing fondly.
The girl was a naïve little thing…but it was that very trait that she was finding herself drawn to.
"Don't worry your little mind over it…I'll teach you everything and anything." Azula assured in a slightly softer voice while sliding backwards with Elle's delicate body in her arms.
"Oh, Your Highness. I do indeed find your authority to my liking." Elle confessed in a voice of rising excitement while she fell back into Azula's marvelously toned arm.
All the while the princess loomed over her with a smug yet so very beautiful smirk gracing her red lips.
"I just knew you would…my pet. I will show you sights that you never thought possible." Azula cooed while exhaling over the trembling girl's lovely little face all the while tightening her grip on her smaller hands.
"I-I…can't wait Azula-sama…" Elle whispered with the effects of the alcohol and the woman's entrancing presence causing her to quiver in her strong hold.
It was all she could do to even stay on her own two feet…
Just when she began to stumble the princess prevented her fall by pulling her arms upward all the while manipulating her body with effortless ease.
"You are…beautiful Elle." Azula purred as she leaned over the girl with her hot breath drawing closer and closer.
All along Elle's young heart began to race so pleasantly while she gazed up into the elegant princess's confident eyes.
"Y-you honor me Princess…but I am nowhere near as beautiful as you…" Elle spoke with her eyes remaining transfixed into Azula's spellbinding gaze.
"Hm. Although I disapprove of these bruises…I'll remedy that tomorrow…" Azula breathed over her sweet handmaid's reddened face while reaching out to abruptly grasp her cheek.
"Y-yes…as Her Highness deems…t-tomorrow." Elle responded in a love-struck voice all the while gasping when the princess suddenly pulled her in.
"You…belong to me." Azula declared in a seductive voice just before smashing her lips into Elle's with her hands all the while bracing the girl's lower back.
As they kissed Elle could only peer up at Azula unable to even so much as will her body to move.
In this moment…everything was perfect.
Elle's hands clutched at the princess's shoulders while she sunk into Azula's dominant yet tender kiss.
Ty Lee gazed on in a stunned silence alongside Mai.
The other woman was so shocked that she dropped her drink at her feet paying no mind to the liquid staining her boots.
"W-wow." Ty Lee spoke in an awestruck voice while gazing on at the scene with a grin on her blushing cheeks.
"I…must have drank too much. This can't be happening." Mai whispered while gazing on with wide tawny eyes.
It didn't take long for Elle to gain the courage to return the kiss while staring up at Azula with her cheeks heating up as if the princess had just set her afire.
Azula's strong hands continued to restrain her all the while easily overpowering her in their passionate kiss.
And people far and wide across the club were watching just as spellbound as Mai and Ty Lee to see this young girl being kissed by Princess Azula.
Just a moment later Azula finally withdrew with a conceited smile adorning her graceful lips while peering down into Elle's panting face.
"So…how was it?" Azula inquired with her silken voice being all that her little admirer heard all the while holding her servant up.
"T-that was…" Elle stuttered while gasping for air with her eyes as wide as can be.
The sound of Azula chuckling smugly flowed into her ears while she gulped with her heart beating faster and faster.
As if the princess was a rollercoaster and the excitement only grew with every minute!
"Hm. As if it could be anything less than flawless…" Azula purred in a pleased voice all the while peering down at Elle's adorably speechless face in amusement.
The young girl's eyes met her own with her smirk only growing as she drank in the girl's delightful worship.
Elle quivered in her arms while she smiled up at her with an expression of contentment that Azula decided she approved of.
Even a woman as ruthless as her found her handmaid's lack of a response to be just too cute.
Then and there with serenity lining her innocent visage the small blonde suddenly slumped in the now bewildered princess's arms.
Azula now stood holding Elle's unconscious body against her chest with her eyes widening in comical disbelief.
"Is she alive Azula?" Ty Lee piped up from far away while observing with a giggle.
"The girl fainted." Azula stated with her surprise quickly giving way to pride while she peered down at Elle's sleeping face with a sliver of fondness in her gaze.
"Guess that means we're finally leaving." Mai remarked with a sigh while eying Elle's passed out form in amusement.
"Mhm. My dominance is forever solidified…you are mine now." Azula announced with a victorious grin upon her refined lips.
There was no response from Elle who was now being held against her chest.
And then without further ado the princess scooped the girl into her arms before striding back to her seated friends.
They gazed up at her in shock still unable to even question what they just saw.
"Mai. Ty Lee. Let's go." Azula commanded with her lips etched into a broad smirk while they gazed up at her nodding numbly.
Without so much as speaking another word Azula strode past them while they arose gazing at one another as if to verify that what they were seeing was real.
Yet they did not get the chance to question the matter.
They soon rushed after the princess and her prized handmaid.
The regal woman collected Elle's backpack and shopping bags on the way out before all three of them departed back to the palace.
About one hour later…
Elle moaned only stirring when she felt a warm hand touch her cheek.
And then a blanket was pulled up over her body.
She opened her sleepy eyes to find herself gazing up at her beloved princess standing in the dark of her bedroom right before her bedside.
"Azula-sama?" Elle questioned just as she began to sit up only for a strict hand to push her back onto her cot.
"Go to sleep…you can serve me more tomorrow." Azula ordered in a tone so stern that it left no room for argument.
Elle nodded sleepily before falling back onto her pillow never even having the time to process that Azula had placed extra pillows in her bed.
In the corner of her red sat her shopping bags and her backpack.
All the while Azula's eyes briefly flickered about the room already calculating how she'll make it more comfortable for her little admirer.
"Yes…Princess. As…. you say." Elle agreed while yawning all the while as she smiled up at Azula's near emotionless face peering down at her.
"Good girl…I will see you in the morning Elle." Azula spoke before turning away while striding for the door.
She knew that she had to leave now or she would feel compelled to show even further weakness.
"Arigatou…gozaimasu…for tonight." Elle mumbled while gazing back at the woman's robed back.
A tear of joy streamed down her cheek all the while yearning to sleep beside her idol but…she knew that it would take time before they progressed to sharing the same bed.
"You are most welcome. I must go now…understand?" Azula replied while gazing back at the young girl's emotional face.
"Yes. Just one more thing." Elle began timidly while Azula gazed at her with her brows furrowing inquisitively.
"And that is?" Azula sighed while folding her arms over her breasts with her composed gaze sweeping over Elle's radiant face.
"Oyasumi nasai Azula-sama." Elle announced with a sunny smile while the princess stared at her with her nose scrunched up in puzzlement.
"Is that a goodnight?" Azula pondered with her fingers curling beneath her chin while watching as her lovely pet nodded from where her head lay upon her pillow.
"That's so." Elle answered with yet another loud yawn while her mistress eyed her for a moment before turning away for a final time.
"Oyasumi nasai to you as well Elle." Azula called out before closing the door behind her and walking away with her brows still furrowing in confusion.
She never expected that taking her servant out on the city would result in a dance and a kiss.
She knew one thing for certain…
For the girl's safety.
She will have to bring a report to her father detailing Elle's use.
That she will have to do first thing tomorrow morning.
What a conundrum this little pet of hers has turned out to be…
Elle lay in her bed all the while thinking of her princess with a shy smile on her lips.
She yawned once more before closing her eyes to find herself clutching the bow that she bought her.
She smiled in contentment before rapidly falling asleep.
Peacefully dreaming of her beautiful princess charming.
AN:
Azula has been interested in Elle ever since she gave her the fire lily at the lakeside. Azula was originally planning on waiting a while longer before announcing her interest in Elle.
But Ty Lee pushed her into taking Elle out for a night, and Azula enjoyed it more than she expected.
It just goes to show that despite Azula's power and ruthless exterior, that even she is prone to a spur of the moment decision.
Once Elle asked her to dance, Azula got caught up in the moment and decided to announce her desires.
I also want to state once again that this is mostly a story of friendship, and slow, slow romance. Elle is thirteen, so Azula will decide to wait a few years for Elle to become of age.
However given that Azula will always be Azula, and that she would clearly take delight in possessing a servant that is madly in love with her. Azula will tease Elle, and play with her here and there.
This is going to be a very, very long story. Not only will the first book be 50-60 chapters. I have decided that more books will follow. We'll likely get to see Elle when she's a few years older and at that point they will engage in a more mature romance.
But for now, it's mostly just fluff.
