And without further ado...enjoy!
Puppy (Oneshot)
"Can I have a puppy Azula-sama?" Elle requested in a courteous voice while Azula nearly choked on her tea as she turned to glare back at her.
"What?" Azula asked in a low voice as she sat on her throne with her amber golden eyes narrowing into a piercing glare.
As her handmaid continued to smile brightly all the while.
"Oh! I was just asking you if I could have a puppy! Or a kitty! Or a tiger monkey!" Elle cried out in a jubilant voice while the princess's amber golden eyes grew wide in disgust.
"No, you cannot." Azula stated in a tone of absolute authority with her callous eyes glaring down at her handmaiden's already pouting face.
"B-but Azula-sama." Elle stammered as she watched Azula take another drink of her tea before she turned away to grace her with her tall back.
"I said no Elle. I'd sooner surrender the throne to Zuzu before I would ever bring filthy forest creatures back to run rampant in my palace." Azula spoke in a beyond stern voice as she found herself avoiding gazing into her serving girl's saddened amber eyes.
"But…b-but Princess…" Elle whined as she pulled on the older girl's sleeve while the princess's eyes twitched in annoyance.
"My answer is no Elle!" Azula barked in a harsher voice than she had intended as she scowled deeply when she felt her companion's hand fall from her back.
"O-okay. Sumimasen." Elle mumbled as she turned to pad away with her shoulders slumped while she made her way to the door.
Azula turned to scowl after her with her lips pursed into a thin line.
All the while trying to ignore the sliver of remorse that was bubbling up within her chest.
Just as she heard the door close shut while she sat back with a frustrated growl escaping her lips.
"I…just wanted a puppy. I've never had a puppy." Elle murmured in a glum voice before she wandered out of sight.
The princess sat glaring at the door with blue fire flaring up from her fists.
Curse this infernal peasant girl for making her feel such weakness!
"Ugh. I will have to rectify this matter later." Azula grumbled in a moody voice while she massaged the bridge of her nose with her fingertip.
Perhaps she can find another gift for her beloved…
Something other than a mangy mongrel!
Later on, that day.
"Ty Lee! Have you seen my servant?" Azula demanded with her fists on her hips while she other woman turned to nod her head.
"Yes, Elle went out for a walk a little while ago Azula." Ty Lee answered while the princess scowled in disapproval.
"You let her go for a walk? You know well enough that the girl is restricted from roaming without supervision!" Azula huffed in her usual controlling voice while Ty Lee sighed as she gazed at her in exasperation.
"Azula…Elle isn't a slave…" Ty Lee attempted to reason in a patient voice while Azula gazed at her as if she had just sprouted a third arm.
"Elle is my pet peasant and I insist on controlling every aspect of her little life. Such is my right as her mistress." Azula scoffed in a domineering voice with her fists planted on her womanly hips while Ty Lee shook her head.
And then she resumed her walk with her beautiful lips still pursed into a thin line still in a bad mood over her handmaid's earlier sadness.
This simply would not do.
'Perhaps a ruby ring will cheer her up?' Azula thought with a deep scowl on her full lips as she stomped down the halls of her royal sloop.
About one hour after that…
Elle ran up the ramp with her amber eyes gazing about in unusual caution.
She gave a smile and a wave to the guards on duty while the two armored men watched her pass by with a nod.
Before she scurried down the halls of the royal sloop with arms clutching a small lump to her chest.
Just as she ran face first into a tall body as a strong hand caught her shoulder before she could fall.
She gazed up in surprise to find herself staring back into the captain's puzzled golden eyes.
"Oneesan!" Elle squeaked in a lovable voice while mighty warrior cracked a smile over being addressed as big sister.
"Little sister…is something wrong? You seem…distressed." Zoi greeted in a bewildered voice with a hand under her chin.
"Oh no! Nothing is wrong." Elle replied with a bright smile while Zoi's sharp eyes glanced over her shirt.
"Do you have something under your shirt Elle?" Zoi questioned in a curious voice as she tilted her head while Elle shifted under her observant stare.
"T-there's nothing under my shirt Zoi…" Elle trailed off in an unconvincing voice while the much taller woman eyed her skeptically.
"I am quite sure there is Elle. I just saw something crawl behind your shoulder." Zoi stated as she pointed a finger down at the girl's neck while the handmaid chewed on her lip adorably.
"Arf!" The canine yipped as Elle turned red while Zoi sighed with her arms folded over her breasts.
As the statuesque noblewoman now fixed her with her best attempt at a disciplinary stare.
"I-I can explain Zoi…" Elle stammered with her hand holding the puppy in place while Zoi now tapped her heavy combat boot upon the floor.
"Elle…you know well enough that the princess had a very strict rule regarding animals coming aboard the royal sloop…" Zoi remarked with a frown on her lips while Elle gazed down at her feet as she bit her lip in worry.
"I know…but she was so cute…and she was shivering out on the streets all by her lonesome…" Elle muttered as she kicked at an imaginary pebble while the captain eased up in her stern stare.
"That was very kind of you Elle. But that dog is better off out there than in here with the princess." Zoi explained in a softer voice as she watched her adopted sister shake her head in denial.
"That's not true oneesan. Azula-sama wouldn't hurt her…Her Highness is not like Felix…" Elle insisted in a stubborn voice as she smiled when the puppet nuzzled her neck.
Zoi now gazed away with a twinge of discomfort in her eyes as she let out another heavy sigh.
It was difficult to discipline such a sweet kid.
The girl really had a way of worming her way into people's hearts.
"I wouldn't be too sure of that Elle…look if it would make you feel any better, I will personally find her a good home…" Zoi suggested only for her cold golden eyes to take on a gentler gleam when the serving girl's smile began to vanish.
"B-but I just wanted a puppy to keep me warm in the servant's quarters…" Elle mumbled as she averted her eyes from the powerful warrior's relenting stare.
"Elle…" Zoi sighed as she tried to gaze away when Elle gave her saddened puppydog eyes.
"Please don't tell Azula-sama…please Zoi…" Elle pleaded as she tugged on the older woman's sleeve while Zoi tried her hardest to remain stern.
"She will find out sooner or later Elle." Zoi commented as she gazed back down at Elle's pouting face while her golden eyes spied the little puppy peeking out from under the girl's shirt.
"I know…but maybe by then she'll change her mind!" Elle exclaimed as she smiled once more while the captain cast her a deadpan stare.
"I highly doubt that." Zoi stated as she allowed herself to crack a smile when the handmaiden giggled after the dog licked her cheek.
'The princess would not be pleased about that…' Zoi thought with a flicker of amusement in her eyes while Elle smiled brightly once more.
"I even came up with a name for her!" Elle chirped in a happy voice with her new puppy squirming on her shoulder while Zoi smiled down at her.
"Have you now?" Zoi inquired in a good-natured voice with her arms shifting over her breasts.
"Mhm! I named her Zula!" Elle cried out in a proud voice while the noblewoman now stared down at her in comical surprise.
Only for the warrior to burst out in belly shaking laughter not a moment later while Zoi now held her ribs as she struggled to contain her amusement.
"Alright Elle. We won't tell Her Highness about Zula." Zoi chuckled as she wiped at her eye while Elle beamed up at her.
Only for her gaze to thaw once again when a blonde blur assaulted her belly.
"Arigatou gozaimasu Zoi. Arigatou!" Elle cheered with her arms wrapped around Zoi's stomach while the warrior placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't mention it Elle." Zoi said in a fond voice as she patted the younger girl's shoulder while Elle smiled up at her.
And soon enough the serving girl was scampering down the halls with her amber eyes keeping a close lookout for her controlling girlfriend.
Before she sprinted towards her room in the servant's quarters.
And then she quickly closed the door behind her.
Sometime after that…
Elle rushed towards her room with a large plate of food while she hurried about in a frenzy.
Only to nearly bump into a woman in pink while Ty Lee now smiled sweetly down at her.
Just as Mai came to a stop behind her fellow noble while she gazed down at her with a brow arched inquisitively.
"Ty Lee! Mai!" Elle yelped in a rushed voice while her two big sisters gazed at her oddly.
"Are you alright Elle?" Ty Lee asked in a gentle voice as she smiled softly at her adopted sister's rapidly nodding face.
"What's with all of the food?" Mai pondered in a monotone voice as her little sister smiled nervously.
"I am fine oneesan. I was hungry so I decided to go check a snack!" Elle cried out as she chewed on her lip while the two noblewomen surveyed her closely.
"Really? That seems like a lot of food for someone so short." Mai snorted in a lightly teasing voice just as Ty Lee swatted her shoulder.
"I-I've been burning a lot of calories lately…." Elle trailed off in a mousy voice while Ty Lee still grinned at her.
"Now Mai. Elle can eat whatever she wants…huh was that a bark?" Ty Lee conversed as she turned her head to gaze at the girl's door with her brown-gray eyes blinking curiously.
Just as both nobles turned back to their petite friend while Elle turned pink under their stare.
"N-no. That wasn't a bark Ty Lee. That was just my stomach growling." Elle stuttered lamely as her big sister's stared at her with unconvinced eyes.
"That was a bark Elle." Mai stated in a matter-of-fact voice while the serving girl sulked under her chiding gaze.
"Elle…did you bring a dog back with you?" Ty Lee asked in a soft voice while Elle turned away from her sisterly stare.
"M-maybe." Elle murmured in a sheepish voice as the two women turned to exchange a cringing glance.
"Azula isn't going to like this Elle…" Mai trailed off in a hesitant voice while their handmaiden padded past her.
"But she was all alone on the street just like me…" Elle reasoned in a sorrowful voice as her big sister's now gazed at her with sympathy in their protective eyes.
Just as Ty Lee placed a supportive hand on the smaller girl's shoulder while she smiled once more.
"Now Mai. That was very sweet of Elle to take in a stray. Maybe we can convince Azula to let her stay?" Ty Lee spoke in a cheerful voice while Mai stared back at her with deadpan tawny eyes.
Just as Elle opened the door to her bedroom while the two noblewomen found themselves doing an instant doubletake when they saw the captain seated on the girl's bed.
With a little brown puppy tearing at her cloak while the noblewoman sat there glaring down at the tiny dog.
"Stop that you little brat!" Zoi ordered in an annoyed voice as she narrowed her eyes down at the puppy while Mai snickered in amusement.
"I have to say Zoi. You look pretty sad right now." Mai taunted with a smirk on her lips while the warrior turned to glower back at her.
"Not as sad as you look taking it up the ass from a dragon moose." Zoi insulted in a sneering voice while her fellow noblewoman now glared back at her.
"She's so cute!" Ty Lee squealed with a hand over her mouth as she made her way past the sighing Mai.
"She is isn't she oneesan! I named her Zula!" Elle announced as she puffed out her chest just as the puppy leaped into her arms.
The two noblewomen now stood there blinking in humorous disbelief while the captain snorted as she failed to suppress her laughter.
Just as Mai burst out into a similar chortle while Ty Lee giggled as she held onto her sides.
"Zula?" Mai asked dryly with her tawny eyes gazing down at the tiny puppy while she watched in amusement when Zula licked the girl's cheek.
"That's so! Her name is Zula!" Elle cried out as she sat holding Zula while Ty Lee now petted the puppy's ears.
Only for all four of them to spin towards the door when they heard the familiar sound of the princess stomping down the hall.
And not a moment later Elle and Ty Lee quickly stashed the puppy in her closet before she hurriedly closed the door.
As they now turned with paling complexions just as Azula rounded the corner.
Before the princess finally came to a stop staring back into the bedroom with her possessive amber golden eyes glaring at the three noblewomen seated on her servant's bed.
"Azula-sama!" Elle exclaimed while her mistress stared coldly at her with her mighty fists planted on her perfect hips.
"What are you three doing in my handmaid's room?" Azula questioned in a controlling voice as she stepped towards the door.
She gazed over their faces in suspicion as they coughed nervously.
"We were just visiting Elle Azula." Ty Lee assured in a jovial voice while her friend scowled back at her.
Only for all four of them gaze on in paranoia when the princess sniffed the air.
"This room…it smells like urine." Azula stated in an interrogative voice while her imposing eyes swept about the room in disgust.
The three noblewomen inwardly flinched under the princess's disgusted stare.
"S-sumimasen Azula-sama. I had an accident earlier…" Elle trailed off in a mousy voice with her highborn friends now gazing on in hilarity beside her.
"Really? How strange. I wasn't aware that you developed a bladder problem…what is this pillow case doing torn up on the floor?" Azula demanded as she continued to gaze about with domineering amber golden eyes while she turned to stare back into her serving girl's apprehensive eyes.
"I-I was upset so I ripped it up. S-sumimasen." Elle stammered as she rapidly bowed her head while her big sisters cringed.
"You ripped it up Elle? Did you slobber all over it too?" Azula snapped after her controlling amber golden eyes spotted the drool while she now glared back at her cowering handmaid.
"Arf!" The puppy barked from inside the closet while they simultaneously flinched when the princess spun around to stare furiously at the closet door.
Before the princess placed her hand on the door as her handmaiden sprung to her feet to dart over beside her.
And just like that the closet door was opened wide for all to see the excited puppy inside.
Azula's amber golden eyes grew wide in revulsion as she trembled in fury with her teeth ground together.
"Elle! I said no dogs!" Azula snarled in a terrifyingly cold voice as she glared over her shoulder with her amber golden eyes now making her girlfriend tremble in worry.
"Azula…" Ty Lee attempted to reason as she held out a hand to her fiend's angered back.
"I-I couldn't just leave her starving on the street by herself Azula-sama." Elle stuttered as she scooped her puppy into her arms while Azula's amber golden eyes stared down at the dog in disgust.
"Starving on the street is no longer a concern of hers. Because I am throwing this filthy creature overboard!" Azula declared in a ruthless voice with her fist reaching for the dog.
Only for her eyes to widen in even greater anger when the girl shielded the puppy from her view.
While Mai and Ty Lee now stared at her back in disapproval.
And Zoi could only sigh as she shook her head.
"No! I won't let you!" Elle cried out with her puppy against her chest while the princess glowered down at her.
"That seems needlessly cruel Azula." Mai stated as her childhood friend turned to glare a hole through her skull.
"Come on Azula! You have to admit that she is really cute…" Ty Lee remarked as she knelt over Elle while the princess glared down at them.
"No Ty Lee. No, she is not. And she is not staying aboard my royal sloop!" Azula shouted with her eyes wide in anger.
"I must concur with Ty Lee. Zula is rather adorable." Zoi commented in a serious voice as the other three now cringed when veins now almost burst from the princess's raging eyes.
"Zula! You named this revolting beast after me!" Azula roared with her thunderous voice causing the poor dog to now tremble in the handmaiden's arms.
"I did!" Elle exclaimed in an adorably panicked voice with Zula in her arms while Azula spewed fire from her wrathful lips.
"I refuse to share a name with that filthy creature! Now put that thing outside or so help me Elle I will burn it to ashes!" Azula hissed in a livid voice while Ty Lee stared at her with a scowl on her lips.
Only for the three noblewomen to gaze on in unhidden concern when the girl stood up with the puppy in hand as she made her way towards the door.
As Azula now gazed on with victorious look in her callous amber golden eyes.
"Fine. I'll go sleep outside with her!" Elle declared in defiance while her big sisters watched in amusement when the princess's face turned red in her fury.
"No, you will not Elle." Azula stated in a tone of absolute authority while she stomped after her serving girl.
"Yes, I will." Elle mumbled as she walked off with Zula in her arms while Azula loomed behind her in anger.
"Azula is it really that big of a deal to let Elle have a dog?" Mai sighed as she gazed after Azula while the princess spun around to direct her a foul glare.
"As a matter of fact, Mai. Yes, yes, it is! It is not befitting of a princess to have filthy forest creatures scrambling down the halls of her royal sloop." Azula snapped with her cold eyes glaring at her serving girl's back while Elle still avoided her gaze.
"Can't you permit it if it makes Elle happy?" Ty Lee begged in a softer voice while Azula stomped her boot on the floor.
"I…I always wanted a puppy. And I've been so lonely at night. I just wanted a friend to keep me company when I was alone in here…" Elle murmured as her princess stared down at her with displeased amber golden eyes.
"Then you should have come to my chambers if it was me that you were missing. Instead of bringing in a dirty dog!" Azula exclaimed as she pointed a domineering finger down in her pet's quivering face.
"B-but…but she looked so cold outside…she reminded me of…me when I was…" Elle trailed off as she chewed on her lip while Azula still glowered down at her.
The three noblewomen now directed her with a look of pity.
"Please Azula…please will you let Elle keep her?" Ty Lee pleaded as she placed a hand on the princess's furious shoulder.
"Yes, that's a marvelous idea Ty Lee! That's just what I need a filthy creature pissing all over the royal sloop!" Azula bellowed with her tyrannical eyes glaring down into her servant's sensitive amber eyes.
"Please Azula-sama! Please can I keep her?" Elle requested in a lovable voice with her sweet eyes gazing up at the princess's beautifully scowling face.
"No! You cannot. And those eyes don't work on me!" Azula scoffed with her arms crossed over her robed breasts while she glared down at the girl's pouting face.
"Now that's not true and you know it Princess. We all know that gaze works on you more than anyone else here." Zoi commented with a smug smirk while Azula turned to cast her a venomous glare.
"P-please Your Highness. I promise that I will teach her not to go on the floor." Elle stammered as she rapidly bowed at the waist before her princess's robed belly.
The three noblewomen gazed expectantly at the princess's regally scowling face as she glared down at the bowing girl.
"If it is a gift that you desire then I could purchase you a ruby ring as a substitute. Surely that would be nicer than this…foul little beast." Azula snorted as she waved an elegant hand before her callous face while Ty Lee smiled behind her back.
"But I don't want a ruby ring Azula-sama. I just want a puppy." Elle responded with a smile on her cheeks while her princess scowled so wonderfully above her.
"I could buy you your own palace and raise you up in status to nobility. I…could even give you your own servants." Azula huffed in a frustrated voice with a hand on her womanly hip while her young girlfriend smiled from ear to ear.
"I don't want a palace Azula-sama and I don't want to be nobility. I am content as a commoner and I wouldn't give up being your handmaid for anything in the world. I simply want a dog. That's all." Elle explained as she bowed once more with her puppy in her arms while her princess let out a stubborn growl.
"You can't get more loyal than that Azula." Ty Lee commented in a cheerful voice with her fists on her hips while Azula glared at her through the corner of her eye.
"That's just like you Tiger Monkey. So simple." Azula grumbled as she stomped on her booted feet with her cruel amber golden eyes still glaring down at her serving girl's beaming face.
"That's so Azula-sama! Does that mean that I get to keep her?" Elle chirped in a cheerful voice while the princess shifted angrily on her feet.
The three highborn women waited with varying levels of amusement in their eyes after they all saw that the princess was about to cave in.
And then in that very moment Zula yipped in Elle's arms which only served to make Azula glower down at the two of them even further.
"I suppose…that I could permit this concession." Azula grunted in a highly irate voice with her glacial eyes glancing down into her young companion's now ecstatic amber eyes.
Just as a squeal of joy split into the air while Elle jumped in excitement with her puppy barking in her arms.
"Really Azula-sama!" Elle cried out in a beyond overjoyed voice as she gazed gratefully into Azula's proudly amber golden eyes.
"But only because you are a coveted warpower! And it isn't because I care about you or anything like that! The only reason that I am doing this is to preserve your loyalty in the war to come!" Azula announced in a spoiled voice as she turned to glare over her shoulder at the wall with her arms stubbornly folded over her breasts.
As a barely perceivable blush now formed upon her regal cheeks.
"Sure Azula. Whatever you say." Mai stated dryly with a small smirk on her lips while Ty Lee grinned at the princess's scowling face.
"Arigatou gozaimasu Azula-sama! Arigatou!" Elle yelled out just as she embraced the older girl's belly while the princess stiffened in discomfort.
Only for the princess's rigid amber golden eyes to widen in fury when the puppy tried to crawl up her belly.
"Elle! Get that filthy creature off me right this minute or I will destroy her on the spot! And clean this mess up while you're at it!" Azula shouted at the top of her lungs while she pushed her girlfriend off of her with a stern hand.
"As you say Azula-sama. Always as you say." Elle spoke in a worshipful voice as she smiled brightly with Zula panting adorably in her arms while Azula glared down at them.
"What a pink occasion! We have a puppy on the team now!" Ty Lee giggled as she reached to pet the puppy while her childhood friend stared back at her with narrowed amber golden eyes.
"Indeed. It would seem that there are two Azula's now." Zoi remarked in smug laughter while Azula's amber golden eyes now burned with the fires of war.
"No. There is only one Azula. And this creature is not her! And I hereby prohibit calling this creature as such." Azula declared in a merciless voice with her icy eyes staring down at the dog in loathing.
"Zula it is then." Mai chuckled with amusement in her eyes while Azula ground her teeth in embarrassment.
Suffice to say that they were all stunned by just how far Azula would go to please Elle.
There was no way that the Fire Princess would do the same for anyone else.
Not in a million years!
Several days later…
Azula sat in her royal chamber in her night gown with a deep scowl upon her crimson lips.
While she waited for her servant on her emperor sized bed with her powerful arms folded across her halfway exposed breasts.
Only for her merciless eyes to turn towards the door when she heard her pet softly knock on the other side.
"Can I come in now Mistress?" Elle requested in a respectful voice as Azula gazed towards the door with tyrannical amber golden eyes.
"Yes, servant. You may enter." Azula stated in an ever-controlling voice as she reclined upon her pillows with a spoiled sigh leaving her lips.
Her pet was such a troublesome little thing.
But she would have no other lover.
It was only when the large door opened open to reveal the puppy in the girl's arms that her eyes grew wide in boiling fury.
"No Elle! That filthy dog is not coming in my royal quarters!" Azula bellowed with her teeth gritting together while she glared foully back at her pouting girlfriend.
"You just need to give her a chance Azula-sama! I just know that you will like Zula when you get to know her!" Elle cried out as she padded into the chamber with the barking dog in her arms while blue flames flared to life all throughout the princess's domain.
"I have absolutely no interest in getting to 'know' that creature. And I thought I already told you not to call that little beast Zula!" Azula snapped as she sat glaring at her servant while the smiling girl closed the door behind her.
"Don't be like that Princess. A wise man once said that one never should spurn the opportunity to form new friendships." Elle quipped as she strode towards the bed with the barking puppy in her arms while Azula's eyes burned through her skull.
"I am warning you Elle. Keep that mutt away from my bed." Azula stated with her arms folded angrily over her breasts while her lips creased into a regal scowl.
Only for a loud snarl to escape her bared lips when her handmaiden took a seat at the foot of her bed.
While Zula continued to yip happily with her little tail wagging as she gazed adorably back at her seething namesake.
"She likes you Azula-sama." Elle spoke in a cheerful voice as she beamed back at her girlfriend from where she sat upon her pillows.
"The feeling isn't mutual Elle!" Azula growled as she glared at the dog through the corner of her eye while she watched her girlfriend scoot to the top of the bed.
She glared down at the hyper dog with her royal lips in a moody thin line.
"Are you jealous Azula-sama?" Elle inquired with a lovable smile while Azula scowled down at her from over her shoulder.
"Don't flatter yourself peasant. The Crown Princess of the Fire Nation does not get jealous over her servant holding a dirty mutt." Azula snorted with a roll of her intelligent amber golden eyes while she felt the smaller girl scoot closer to her.
Before the princess soon found herself seated on her pillow with her cold amber golden eyes staring imposingly down when her serving girl cuddled up next to her.
As the dog continued to bark happily up at the foul tempered older woman.
"You're still my favorite Azula-sama. You're the most amazing person in the whole world. And I love you more than anyone else." Elle assured in a devoted voice as she placed a hand on her princess's tense elbow.
"Please. Tell me something that I don't already know." Azula scoffed with her bare feet stretching out upon her vast bed while she allowed her girlfriend to rest her chin on her belly.
"Oh Princess…" Elle trailed off in a tender voice with her arms holding Zula close while she felt Azula's hand slide down her back.
The princess's glacial eyes glared down at the dog once more when she let out another chipper bark that had Elle giggling.
And not a second later the walls of the entire royal chamber lit up with brilliant azure fire.
"Now listen here you…filthy creature. I am the master here. Not you! And you will submit to my rule or be destroyed." Azula snorted with fire escaping her nostrils while she pointed a domineering finger down in the puppy's intimidated face.
Just as her lips curved into the faintest twinge of a smile when the dog retreated submissively into Elle's arms.
While her serving girl lay smiling with her head propped up on her robed belly.
"We submit to you Azula-sama. You're the master here. And we wouldn't have it any other way." Elle sighed in a serene voice with a joyful smile on her lips when she felt the princess's hand lower into her hair.
"It pleases me that you both see things my way." Azula commented in a sigh of her own while she relaxed with her fingers petting her handmaiden's hair.
As she sunk back into her pillows with her admirer's head resting over her robed stomach.
She continued to glare down at the now calming puppy through the corner of her cold eye.
"Azula-sama." Elle mumbled in a love-struck voice as she curled up with Zula in her arms while Azula petted her head.
"That's my Elle." Azula muttered in a proud voice with her strong hand in her handmaiden's hair while she allowed the girl to cuddle up in her lap.
Yes, there was certainly no doubt about it.
She was the master of this little peasant and all that she possessed.
And now this wretched little mutt as well.
AN:
In all seriousness, I doubt that Azula would have let Elle keep that puppy on the royal barge. But this was mostly just for fun.
And I apologize if anyone thought that Azula's threats to burn the puppy were harsh. It's Azula so I thought that it would be in character for her to be cruel about it at first.
I may do a sequel to this one eventually. But that's all for now.
