Hello everyone!
I really struggled writing the latest chapter which is why this is going up much later than anticipated.
I want to thank all of the people out there who reviewed, favorited and followed my story since the last update. Nothing makes me happier than watching the story grow. And as usual, please continue to favorite/follow as we go along.
Conquer You – Chapter Seventy
The following day.
In a private quarters Mai stood in workout clothes with a bead of sweat dripping down her forehead.
She gazed back with unusually focused tawny eyes at a butchered training dummy as she panted slightly while wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"I'm not…going to let Zoi get the best of me. I swear I'll show her." Mai muttered under her breath with her fist clenching in determination.
Only to swiftly turn her head when she heard a light knocking on her chamber door.
"Oneesan? Can I come in?" Elle called out from the other side while Mai straightened with her cold eyes taking on a softer tint.
"Yeah. Little sister. Come in." Mai responded as she turned to face the door while she watched her adopted sister shyly open the door.
Only for her tawny eyes to widen ever so slight when she saw that the younger girl was carrying two fresh cups of juice with a slice of fruit in each.
"I didn't know that you were busy…should I go?" The handmaid chimed in an uncertain voice as she took in the older woman's workout attire.
Only for the noblewoman to quickly shake her head as she watched her big sister rush over to greet her.
"No. I am never too busy for you kid. What's with the juice?" Mai pondered as she used a towel to wipe off her upper body while the smaller girl smiled brightly as she shut the door behind her.
"Oh! I noticed that you seemed troubled earlier so I thought I would come see if you would like a cup of juice." Elle answered in a helpful voice while Mai's eyes softened as she turned to gaze back at her.
"Thank you, Elle. That is very kind of you. I appreciate it." Mai assured with a small smile cracking on her usually dour lips as she set her towel down.
"No problem! Anything for my big sister!" The handmaid chirped as the older girl gazed at her fondly before gesturing to a luxurious love seat in the farther end of the room.
"Come on. Have a seat with me. We'll share juice together." Mai remarked with a nod while the younger girl padded after her.
"I would love that Mai." Elle replied before she plopped down on the love seat while Mai seated herself beside her.
And then Mai offered Elle a grateful smile as she accepted her fresh cup of juice before she gently placed her hand on the innocent girl's shoulder.
"Just what I needed. Thanks again kid." Mai spoke with a measure of affection in her unsocial voice while Elle smiled up at her.
"You know me! I am always happy to help!" The handmaid piped in a chipper voice with her bright smile seeming to bring a grin to the gloomy noblewoman's lips.
"Yeah. I do. So, what are the others up to?" Mai conversed as she took a calm sip of her juice while her little sister did the same.
"Nothing much. Ty Lee is in the shower and Azula-sama is in a private meeting with Zoi. They say that we'll land ashore tomorrow." Elle informed as she leaned back in her seat while Mai nodded as she lounged beside her.
"That's good I suppose." Mai muttered as she allowed the smaller girl to scoot closer to her.
"May I ask what's bothering you Mai?" The handmaid questioned in a concerned voice while the noblewoman glanced down at her with appreciative tawny eyes.
"I think you already know the answer to that question Elle." Mai stated with a frown gracing her lips while her little sister chewed on her lip in the way that she had come to find adorable.
"Is it Zoi or Zuko?" Elle asked in an attentive voice while Mai grimaced as she sighed over her.
"Both." Mai muttered as she felt Elle place a comforting hand on her elbow.
"I am always willing to listen if you want to talk about it." The handmaid offered in a soft voice while the noblewoman relaxed under her touch.
And for reasons that Mai couldn't explain.
She found the younger girl's presence a soothing one.
No matter what she knew that Elle wouldn't judge her.
And that was enough to know that there was no harm in confiding her thoughts to the girl.
"I have always been an elite combatant. And Azula has always held me in the highest reward. But Zoi defeated me with ease. Two times now." Mai confessed in a frustrated voice as she sat with a hand on her knee while the smaller girl listened with a concerned look in her eyes.
She ground her teeth together while the hand on her arm gently grasped at her bare skin before she chose to continue.
She didn't need to hear a reply to know that her little sister was listening.
"I want to be better. Not to kill her. I have no wish to take her life anymore. But I don't want to be outclassed by that…that bitch!" Mai grumbled with her fist tightening in her anger while Elle listened with her patient amber eyes gazing up at her.
"Don't let her get you down Mai. You're so strong. And if you work hard, I bet you'll kick her butt next time." Elle responded with her palm on Mai's arm while the older woman sighed beside her.
"I'm not too sure about that Elle." Mai sighed as she glanced down at Elle snuggling against her arm.
"Think of it like Mario Kart. No matter how good you are at a game. If you only play it from time to time and you encounter someone who plays it every day. They're going to better at it then you. Not because they're superior. They just have more practice." The handmaid advised with a finger under her chin while the noblewoman furrowed her brows over the odd analogy.
"Mario Kart huh?" Mai asked in a more upbeat voice while Elle happily nodded her head.
"Mhm! That's right. It's like the old saying goes. You use it or you lose it. That's why I try to keep practicing on my painting." Elle spoke in a tender voice while Mai closed her eyes as she crackled a smile over her.
"I see. I'll keep that in mind little sister." Mai remarked as she felt Elle's hand wrap around her bicep.
"I believe in you Mai. Because you're my big sister." The handmaid declared in a loyal voice while the noblewoman smiled more brightly than before.
"Thank you, for saying that little sister. It means a great deal to me." Mai commented in a thawed voice while Elle beamed up at her.
"Is there anything else I can get you while you're training? Would you like me to fix you some food afterward?" Elle queried in a supportive voice while Mai turned to peer down at her with a softened gaze.
"You don't have to wait on me Elle." Mai answered in a gentler voice only for the serving girl to eagerly shake her head.
"I don't mind! I serve Team Azula! And that includes you Mai." The handmaid cried out as she nodded her head while the noblewoman took a calming drink of her juice.
"Elle…you know that all of us would be okay with it if you decided that you didn't want to be a servant anymore. Right?" Mai asked as she gazed down at her servant friend while Elle still smiled as brightly as can be.
"I know! But I genuinely like being a servant! Because I like to help!" Elle cheered with an innocent smile on her face while Mai let out a fond sigh over her.
"I can see that kid. Fine. If you want…you can serve me by getting me water while I work out." Mai announced with lazy shrug of her shoulders only to grunt when she felt Elle latch onto her stomach.
"As you command Mai! I won't fail you!" The handmaid chirped as she embraced the noblewoman's belly while her big sister stiffened over her.
"Kid…I like you. But I don't do hugs." Mai groaned in a voice of feigned annoyance while she grudgingly allowed Elle to snuggle up against her belly.
"Now that's not true oneesan. You and I hug all the time!" Elle retorted in a carefree voice while Mai sighed in defeat.
"If it will make you happy…" Mai trailed off before she wrapped her arm around the smaller girl's shoulder while the handmaid leaned into her embrace.
"Mai…" The handmaid murmured in a loving voice while the noblewoman held her under her toned arm.
"Little sister." Mai spoke with a barely noticeable smile on her lips while allowed Elle to lean against her.
And yet despite all of her complaints.
She couldn't help but admit that she enjoyed holding the girl in her arms.
It was…nice.
There was no denying that.
Elsewhere in Azula's war room.
The princess sat in her throne surveying a letter from the chancellor with a pleased look in her amber golden eyes.
While the captain stood over her shoulder gazing down at the letter with cold golden eyes.
"The chancellor is proving useful for my plans after all. We will be taking advantage of certain key prisoners to provoke the enemy into making a fatal mistake." Azula commented in a regal voice with the letter in hand while she allowed her soldier to glance over her shoulder.
"That's all fine and well Princess. But just make sure that you keep a close eye on that man." Zoi replied in a composed voice with a serious look in her eyes while Azula released a derisive snort as she set the letter down.
Before she turned to glance up at her with bored amber golden eyes.
"Please. Don't tell me that you are actually afraid of the sniveling chancellor. If so. Then I am sorely disappointed in you Zoi." Azula remarked in a dismissive voice as she rolled her eyes while her soldier glared at the back of her head.
"I do not fear Chancellor Terak. I simply am not blinded by hubris like you are Princess." Zoi retorted in a fearless voice while her princess now spun around to narrow her eyes up at her.
"You dare to call me blind?" Azula hissed as turned to glare up at her defiant soldier while the older woman stared down at her with unyielding golden eyes.
"I speak the truth and you know it Princess. You have a tendency to underestimate people. Which gives the other person an advantage." Zoi lectured in a calm voice while unflinchingly meeting Azula's icy gaze.
"You are being melodramatic Zoi. I have been keeping a close eye on the chancellor's activities. There is nothing that he is involved in that I do not know about." Azula spoke in an egotistical voice with a haughty gleam in her domineering eyes while her soldier snorted over her shoulder.
"Do you want to know how dangerous I consider that man to be?" Zoi questioned in a composed voice while the princess rolled her eyes mockingly once more.
"Enlighten me Zoi." Azula snorted in an unconvinced voice while she rolled her eyes up at Zoi's annoyingly serious face.
"I consider Chancellor Terak to be possibly the most dangerous person in our nation." Zoi replied in a casual voice while Azula scrunched up her nose in disbelief.
"What? You…consider that man to be more dangerous than me?" Azula asked in an angered voice that only grew when her soldier nodded in affirmative.
"I do. Do you want to know why?" Zoi responded in a cool voice while her princess's intimidating amber golden eyes glared back at her.
"Why?" Azula almost snarled with her hands grasping furiously at the sides of her thrown.
There was nothing more infuriating than hearing that her soldier considered that groveling man to be more dangerous than her.
This would simply not do.
A ruler must be feared.
It was simply not acceptable for anyone to be feared more than her!
"Because he is a psychopath. That's why." Zoi stated with her golden eyes gazing back into the princess's grudgingly curious amber golden eyes.
"I had already presumed as much myself." Azula remarked with a wave of her hand while they listened to the ocean's waves crash into the steel walls of the royal sloop.
"He doesn't feel anything for anyone. He doesn't serve you. And he doesn't serve your father. He is no friend to me or anyone really. He serves no one but himself. He has no sentimentality to our nation. And he would betray us without a second thought if we fell from power." Zoi explained in a remarkably levelheaded voice while she gazed back at Azula's now narrowing eyes.
"Really? Well then. I will just have him killed if the war goes south. That or if he fails to provide me with satisfactory results. Not that it is possible for us to lose. I have every advantage over the pathetic rebels. And soon enough…I will squash them like insects beneath my boot." Azula declared in a sneering voice with a cruel smile forming on her smug lips while Zoi herself smiled confidently over her shoulder.
"Hopefully so. Elle may start to doubt your dominance otherwise." Zoi taunted with a smirk on her lips while the princess's eyes widened as blue fire escaped her furious nostrils.
"My reign over that girl is absolute! She couldn't find a more capable dominant!" Azula barked with fire spewing from her snarling lips while the noblewoman listened in amusement.
"I have no doubt about that Your Highness." Zoi agreed with a nod as Azula clenched her fist on the side of her throne while her amber golden eyes glared ahead.
"The girl belongs to me. She is my submissive." Azula growled in a possessive voice with her beautiful full lips curling into a controlling smile.
Her serving girl was a such a lovely little thing…
Only for her soldier's voice to snap her from her obsessive musings when the older woman spoke up from behind her.
"Tell me Princess. Where is Elle from?" Zoi pondered once more in a searching voice as the princess turned to scowl up at her.
"My serving girl's homeland is not any of your business Zoi." Azula answered in a frigid voice while she cast her subordinate a warning glare.
"Of course, if you don't want to tell me. Perhaps I could ask Elle instead…" Zoi trailed off with a smug look in her golden eyes while her princess let out another snort of blue fire from her nostrils.
"Alright Zoi. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to tell you. But let it be known that if you leak this information to anyone…I will have you immediately put to death. Is that understood soldier?" Azula announced with a snarl while Zoi released an offended scoff.
"Yes, I understand. And I must say that I am insulted that you would even insinuate that I would do such a thing." Zoi stated with offense in her voice while the princess rolled her eyes at her once more.
"The tiger monkey is from a land that neither you or I have ever traveled to." Azula spoke in a regal voice while Zoi's golden eyes now flickered in intrigue.
"I had already suspected something like that. But I wasn't sure if it was possible…but the labels on her medical supplies…and her music player are things that I have never seen before." Zoi commented in a fascinated voice as she held a hand underneath her chin.
"You wouldn't have. Because all of my evidence points to the girl being from another world." Azula replied in a callous voice while Zoi blinked in puzzlement.
"Another…world?" Zoi queried in a still confused voice while her princess let out a spoiled sigh as she sunk back on her plush throne.
"Yes. At first, I didn't believe it myself. After the girl told me that she was from lands that are not on our maps. But over time I started to see that she was telling me the truth. From my understanding Zoi…there is a gateway of some kind connecting our world…to another that allowed Elle to travel here." Azula revealed in a regal voice while her soldier stared back at her with stunned golden eyes.
"What! A gateway? How…how is that possible?" Zoi blurted out in an unusually taken aback voice while Azula lazily shrugged her shoulders.
"I am not certain myself. But the girl traveled through all the same." Azula answered in a cool voice while Zoi still looked as if she was regaining her composure.
"And…there are humans living on the other side?" Zoi inquired in an astonished voice while her princess let out another snort.
"Obviously Zoi." Azula scoffed as she brushed her dark hair from her face while her captain still gazed ahead in awe.
"Amazing…I presume that you desire to keep this detail hidden from your father and your enemies to further consulate your power." Zoi muttered with understanding in her intelligent eyes while Azula scanned her fingernails with a sanguine smile adorning her lips.
"That is correct Zoi. In time I will sit on my throne as the ruler of both worlds while my little handmaid bows at my feet in awe of my conquest." Azula huffed in a conceited voice with her amber golden eyes flashing in a power-hungry delight while Zoi finally recovered her composure.
Just as the warrior leaned over her princess's shoulder with her mouth falling open in the shape of an o,
She now found herself gazing down at a sheet of elegantly written calligraphy.
And the princess still sat smiling on her throne.
"What's this? Conquer You? Princess…are you writing Elle romantic poetry-" Zoi questioned only to be silenced by an enraged punch to the jaw while a towering wall of blue fire sent her soaring onto her ass.
While the princess had stood up from her throne with her teeth clenched together in her fury while a barely perceivable twinge of pink now adorned her regal cheeks.
"That isn't poetry! Those are war preparations for Sozin's Comet!" Azula bellowed with fire escaping her open mouth while she glared down at her amused soldier.
"I wasn't aware that enemy preparations involved making rhymes." Zoi quipped as she leaped out of the way of a large fireball while Azula's imposing eyes glared a hole through her skull.
She wasn't going to lie.
Her princess had a truly imposing glare.
The princess was a powerful woman whose presence demanded only the highest level of respect.
But then again…that was why she serves her. Wasn't it?
Because Azula's power demands respect.
"You are dismissed soldier! Leave now before I kill you!" Azula snapped in a violent voice with lightening crackling at her clenched fist while her soldier turned to head towards the door.
"I'm sure she'll like it Princess." Zoi chuckled just as she leaped away while her princess seethed after her.
"Goodbye!" Azula called out in a snarling voice while she watched her smirking soldier quickly depart through the door.
Just before the door closed shut not a moment later while she now stood with a tiny sliver of a blush now gracing her proud cheeks.
The mighty princess turned away with her boots stomping across the floor while she angrily glared ahead.
Only to furiously plop down on her round posterior mere seconds later as she now sat brooding with a tightened fist against her cheek.
Her beautiful lips pursed into a regal glower while she pridefully glared off at the nearest wall.
Of course, her girlfriend will like it!
As if she would ever be anything less than amazed by it!
And yet strangely enough.
There was a tiny barely noticeable part of her that could not help but worry otherwise.
And for reasons that she couldn't explain.
She seized her brush in her clenched fist just before she leaned over the poem with another snort of blue fire escaping her angry nostrils.
On her desk the calligraphy read as follows:
Conquer You.
And soon enough she found herself elegantly writing the next line all the while a tiny twinge of pink remained on her prideful cheeks.
Her pet will approve.
She just knows it.
And with that the Crown Princess of the Fire Nation soon found herself dedicating the better part of her next hour to her writings.
Until two hours later…
The princess was now walking down the royal hall with her two childhood friends while she turned to glance at Mai's freshly washed face.
"Mai, I was told that my servant was last in your service an hour ago. Where did the little peasant get off to?" Azula questioned in her usual pompous voice while Mai offered her a bored glance.
"Elle served me while I was working out. I don't know where she went after that because I was in the shower cleaning up." Mai admitted with a shrug while Azula scrunched up her nose as she scowled back at her.
"You were training Mai?" Ty Lee asked with a friendly smile on her features while her gloomy friend just frowned in response.
"Yeah. I was." Mai replied in a monotone voice as she gazed away from the princess's smirking face.
"You could always ask Zoi to train with you. I am sure that she would be more than willing to oblige." Azula commented in a smooth voice with her arms folded over her breasts while her friend glared at her from the corner of her eye.
"Azula…" Ty Lee sighed while she made her way alongside her friends while they made their way down the hall.
Only for all three of them to pause for a moment when they heard the distinct sound of two people conversing in the approaching lounge area.
The first was obviously their young friend.
And the second…was Jiao.
The three highborn women stopped to exchange a mutually annoyed glance while the princess glared at the door when heard their young friend's voice.
Followed shortly by the seductress's voice flowing through the door.
"Oh yes! Azula-sama and I are very close!" Elle chirped in a carefree voice.
The two noblewomen listened in amusement outside the door as Azula's eyes twitched in aggravation.
"Hm. Oh yes. You two are dating, aren't you?" Jiao asked in a silken voice through the door just as Azula stomped forward with her teeth ground together.
While Ty Lee just barely suppressed a giggle that prompted Azula to glare at her through the corner of her eye.
"How did you know?" Elle wondered with a lovable hand on her cheek while Jiao offered her a disarming smile.
"It's obvious in the way you look at her. And the way she looks at you. That and I heard overheard Zoi talking about it." Jiao answered with a dismissive wave of her hand while she lounged on luxury chair.
The two of them were sitting on the balcony of the royal sloop getting to know one another.
Seemingly unaware that the princess and her team were about to walk in.
And just as oblivious that Azula was glaring daggers at the door while her two childhood friends began to feel a sliver of pity for the brazen gold-digger.
But just before the princess could open the door.
Her callous amber golden eyes flashed with an unseen emotion when she heard her young companion's reply.
"Azula-sama is my first love. She means the world to me. She's my p-princess charming. I love her so much." Elle swooned in a love-struck voice with an innocent blush on her cheeks while Jiao rose an intelligent brow as she gazed at her oddly.
The princess paused with a barely perceivable sliver of pink on her regal cheeks while her two friends listened with a softened look in their eyes.
That was when Ty Lee elbowed her shoulder as she turned to scowl at her gushing face while Mai sighed in boredom beside them.
'Curse this peasant! She is making me go soft! Perhaps it would be more prudent to just destroy her?' Azula thought with a puff of blue fire escaping her constricting nostrils while she growled in frustration under her breath.
Only for her feelings to soon turn to annoyance and even a bit of anger once more when the other woman's teasing voice flowed through.
"Yes, Her Highness is truly something wonderful. She also has a nearly endless amount of gold…." Jiao quipped in a playful voice with her arms folded in her lap while Elle tilted her head in confusion.
In that very moment both noblewomen cringed as they turned to Azula's much colder face.
There was nothing worse anyone could do than to take the little sliver of compassion that the princess had for their young friend and turn it upside down by making light of it.
However, before Azula could break the door down.
Once more Elle unknowingly came to the seductress's aid.
"I'm not attracted to her gold! I'm attracted to her personality! I would love her just as much if she was a farmer like my great grandfather!" Elle cheered in a naïve voice with a sunny smile on her lips while the older girl stared at her with deadpan blue eyes.
Azula stiffened with a humiliated look in her frigid eyes while she turned to glare at Mai when the other woman suppressed a chortle of laughter.
'Aww! That is one of the sweetest things that I have ever heard." Ty Lee thought as she grinned back at Azula's sighing face while she patted her friend's shoulder.
"How sweet. But still…between the princess and Lady Mai and Lady Ty Lee you have the potential to get obscenely rich." Jiao suggested with a mischievous smile on her lips.
The three highborn women now glared at the closed door.
"I have no need for money! A wise man once said. That you are never truly poor if you are happy at heart! And I am very happy here!" Elle chimed in a chipper voice while Jiao scrunched up her nose incredulously.
And Ty Lee just smiled as widely while Azula rolled her amber golden eyes over their young handmaid's joyful reply.
"Right…until you start to struggle to afford the cost of living because the aristocracy tax you up the ass all for the sake of funding their war." Jiao responded in a sarcastic voice with her words provoking a taken aback look from Elle.
The dark statement hit the two noblewomen hard as they gazed away while the princess now scowled at the door over the seductress's open mockery of her highborn rulers.
"Azula-sama is going to fix that when she takes the throne. I know she will!" Elle assured with a hopeful look in her kind eyes while the older girl now cast her an amused stare.
The two noblewomen turned to glance at the princess's scowling face while she now glared back at them as they continued to listen in the two girls.
Both Mai and Ty Lee were well aware that if Azula helped the impoverished it would only be because Elle convinced her to do so.
"Of course, she will. But even so…you should still look after your own interests. That's why I am going to give you some helpful tips of the trade." Jiao chatted with a hand on her lovely cheek while the younger girl blinked in wonderment.
All the while unaware that her three highborn friends were now glaring at the door once more.
"Tips of the trade? What trade?" Elle asked in a naïve voice that had Jiao smiling sweetly back at her.
"Why the trade of swindling money from the high nobility of course." Jiao spoke in a joyous voice with a wide smile on her lips while she gazed confidently at the baffled girl.
Azula's amber golden eyes now glared at the door once more as she listened closely with fire escaping her nostrils.
Why did Zoi have to bring along this wretched little swindler!
"I would never swindle Azula-sama…" Elle trailed off as she bit her lip only for the seductress to pay her protest no mind.
"Are you two fucking yet?" Jiao questioned bluntly while Elle's face turned beet red.
Only for the three highborn women to nearly trip in their step while the princess's face took an a greatly angered expression.
It did not escape her attention that the woman was behaving with no regard for proper conduct.
Just like…Zoi!
"I-I um…well…" Elle stuttered in an adorably overwhelmed voice while Jiao still smiled back at her.
"Hm. Have you given the princess cunnilingus yet?" Jiao continued in a cool voice while she gazed interrogatively at the younger girl's flushed facial expression.
Both noblewomen took a cautious step back away from the furious princess who now looked as if she wanted to have the girl hung.
"W-what's cunnilingus? Is that some kind of food?" Elle pondered in a lovably clueless voice while Jiao stared at her in comical disbelief.
And both noblewomen were now staring on humorously while the princess now held a palm over her face in exasperation.
'I really need to get that girl up to speed on her education…' Azula thought with her eyes twitching in annoyance only for her anger to return when Jiao continued.
"I suppose in your case you could consider it a royal dish." Jiao stated in a humored voice while Elle tilted her head curiously.
"A royal dish…perhaps Azula-sama and I can have it for dinner sometime." Elle muttered with a nod.
The princess and her two childhood friends gazed on in hilarity outside the door.
"Do you know what nearly all people of high nobility have in common?" Jiao queried in a smooth voice while Elle adorably hand a hand under her chin.
"They're all rich?" Elle replied with an innocent tilt of her head while Jiao smiled back at her.
"Generally speaking. Almost all nobility are arrogant, egotistical, and they behave as if they are a higher brand of human. When in all actuality they are just like the rest of us. They reek when they don't bath and they bleed red just like everyone else." Jiao remarked in an offhand voice with a wave of her hand while the younger girl shifted nervously in her seat.
All the while Mai and Ty Lee exchanged a deadpan glance while Azula was now glaring back at the door with murderous amber golden eyes.
"M-my oneesans aren't like that. And I admit that Azula-sama has a little bit of an ego. I find her confidence endearing…she's so dreamy…" Elle trailed off in a love-struck voice as she swooned with her hands on her delicate cheeks.
The two noblewomen stared on in humor once more.
And the princess now pridefully puffed out her chest while she arrogantly gazed down at her fingernails with a smug smirk on her beautiful lips.
"Hm. She certainly is. But even so…all nobles have a shared weakness. Even our noble Princess Azula." Jiao chimed as she turned to gaze at Elle's piqued face with a wide smile.
Unaware that Azula's callous amber golden eyes were now glaring straight through the door.
"What is their weakness Jiao?" Elle queried in an innocently curious voice while the older girl leaned in closer.
"As long as you call them by their stupid titles, they are woefully easy to deceive." Jiao purred as she folded her arms over her open breasts while Elle peered back at her with adorable curiosity.
Ty Lee could only sigh under her breath as she gazed at Azula's violent expression while her friend breathed fire out of her nostrils.
She had a good feeling that this girl was going to regret flaunting her swindling in front of Azula…
Only to glance back at the door not a moment later when the brazen seductress continued.
"Pro tip. Stroke their ego with false courtesy. Pretend to be a little bit dumber than you actually are and purposefully fuck up your bow when you first greet them. This way when you meet them again, they will think that you are striving to do better to please them. And over time work your way into their bed." Jiao lectured with a raised finger while Elle still tilted her head at her.
And the princess's amber golden eyes narrowed in increased anger as she recalled her first meeting with the girl earlier.
'This peasant is going to regret her foolishness when I send her to the dungeons.' Azula thought with her fists at her womanly hips while she let out a low growl.
And for reasons that she couldn't explain. She didn't approve of such a person being around her serving girl.
Her desire to mother her young girlfriend was a curious little compulsion.
But the girl was her property and she was hers to do with as she pleased.
"I can't do that Jiao. I must be respectful to Azula-sama and my oneesans. I'm their servant and I owe it to them to serve them well." Elle answered with a sweet shake of her head.
Azula smirked in approval outside the door.
And the two noblewomen gazed on with a look of shared fondness in their eyes.
"Pro tip number two. Whether man or woman, when you're pleasuring them, they are completely at your mercy. And always remember. Their wallets are most accessible after they've climaxed." Jiao conversed in a mischievous voice.
As the three highborn women glared at the door.
'This girl has to be the biggest gold-digger that I have ever met!' Ty Lee thought with a huff while she leaned against the wall.
"C-climaxed?" Elle stammered in a naïve voice.
The three highborn women gazed humorously at one another.
"Yes. Climaxed. Came. Orgasm." Jiao responded in a silken voice while Elle adorably rubbed the underside of her chin.
"Oh…I don't know much about any of that." Elle muttered in a self-conscious voice only for the older girl to smile back at her.
"You'll learn in time. And if it's women that you are after. Remember that their clitoris is your golden ticket." Jiao quipped with a broad smile while the younger girl turned a lovable shade of red.
And Team Azula could only exchange an annoyed glance only to stare on humorously once again when their young serving girl's voice flowed through.
"W-where will I locate Azula-sama's c-clitoris?" Elle stuttered in a confuddled voice.
Azula suppressed a groan as she held her palm to her face beside the smiling Ty Lee.
"Between her legs. Where else?" Jiao replied with great amusement in her voice while Elle chewed on her lip thoughtfully.
Only to gaze at the girl in entertainment when she opened up her backpack to withdraw a small diary.
As she watched with a raised brow as the girl recorded a notation.
"Azula-sama's clitoris…is her happy spot." Elle mumbled in an innocent voice.
The two big sisters forced down a chortle while the princess glared at them from the corner of her eye.
"And never forget that after they've had their orgasm…when they are blissfully laying there on cloud nine. That's the perfect opportunity to say…hey baby. How about that diamond ring?" Jiao purred as she smiled from ear to ear.
While the three highborn women rolled their eyes.
"But I don't want a diamond ring…" Elle trailed off with an innocent smile while Ty Lee smiled as she glanced at Mai's sighing face.
"If they say no. Just put your head back between their legs and get them off all over again, over and over. Sooner or later. After they're drunk and exhausted. They will almost certainly say yes. After that kiss them on the cheek and tell them that they are the only one. From that point onward you'll be able to drain their wallets for years to come. Trust me I know. I have tested it out on several nobles and it works like a charm." Jiao concluded in a proud voice as she lounged on her back while Elle gazed at her in disapproval.
At this point the noblewomen stared ahead with an incredulous look in their eyes while they balked over the woman's words.
Zoi was right!
This girl was a malicious little minx!
Only for the two of them to glance at Azula as they shivered in slight pity for the girl just as the princess finally started to open the door with her emotionless amber golden eyes glaring ahead.
"That's not very nice Jiao. I would never do that to Azula-sama or my oneesans." Elle spoke with a frown while the seductress reclined with her hands behind her head.
"Oh well. Stay poor then." Jiao sighed with a smug smile while Elle gazed at her oddly.
"Jiao…if you have taken that much money from nobility then why are you still fishing for coin? Shouldn't you be rich by now?" Elle pondered with a contemplative countenance while Jiao's eyes twitched in annoyance.
"I kind of spent it all. Okay!" Jiao huffed with a scowl on her lips.
The two noblewomen exchanged a look of deadpan amusement.
Just as the door suddenly opened while the young handmaid spun around to smile sweetly over her shoulder as she watched her mistress step into the room.
"Azula-sama! I missed you!" Elle cried out in a happy voice while the princess regarded her with a prideful glare.
Only to narrow her eyes at the seductress to see that she was lazily relaxing in a lounge chair on the balcony.
"Such a shame that you won't get the opportunity to try it again…peasant." Azula sneered in a pompous voice while her two friends walked in behind her.
"Seriously. You can't keep your mouth shut, can you?" Mai questioned in a monotone voice while Jiao turned around to smile widely back at them.
"Your Highness! There you are! My esteemed Ladies! So, you three finally decided to walk in eh?" Jiao retorted in a playful voice while the three highborn women gazed at her in annoyance.
"You knew we were here and you kept blabbing away?" Ty Lee asked with a hand on her shapely hip while she gazed pointedly at the smiling woman.
Only to grin widely as she turned to gaze fondly at her little sister as the girl beamed back at them.
"I didn't know that you were outside!" Elle chirped while her three friends glanced at her with a mutual fondness in their eyes.
"You speak as if I was planning an assassination attempt. I was only regaling Elle with relationship advice." Jiao commented as she stood up with a hand on her hip while Azula strode towards her.
Just before the princess came to a stop looming a full head over her while she stared down at her with imposing amber golden eyes.
The seductress kept up a calm exterior as a bead of sweat dripped down her cheek.
As the beyond intimidating princess continued to stare down at her with merciless amber golden eyes that had made her gulp under the princess's gaze.
Just as she gracefully bowed at the hip while the older girl continued to stare down at her with unforgiving icy amber golden eyes that continued to make sweat drip down her forehead.
"I suggest you listen well peasant. I am your princess and I am better than you. And you will show me respect. Or I will have you thrown overboard." Azula announced in a merciless voice while all but the young serving girl shivered as she glared down at the bowing seductress.
"Oh, I understand completely Princess. If Her Highness wishes you could always flog me…" Jiao replied with a flirtatious smile while both noblewomen cringed as they shook their heads behind her.
"Perhaps I will. Maybe then you will learn your place." Azula snarled in a predatory voice while the seductress smiled up at her.
"Mhm. Now we're talking. Punish me Princess. Beat me. Cage me. Use whatever toys you want. I'm game. Whatever your kink. I can fulfill it." Jiao purred as she brushed her hair from her eyes while Azula glowered down at her with an unamused countenance.
Ty Lee could only shiver as she knew well enough that if not for Elle that Azula may well do just that.
The only difference being that the woman would be unlikely to ever again see the light of day.
Only for an innocent voice to call out behind them as all four women turned to gaze at the young serving girl's adorably jealous face.
"H-how dare you flirt with my mistress!" Elle exclaimed in a comically protective voice just as she scampered in front of the princess while her mistress gazed down at her with deadpan amber golden eyes.
Yet despite Azula's current mood.
She did not lash out at her little servant.
She simply gazed down at the girl with callous amber golden eyes while her handmaid's blonde head just barely came up to her upper belly.
Just as she took note of the amused look that the woman was directing her pet.
Only to let out a low growl while she snorted out a puff of blue fire from her nostrils like an overprotective mother dragon as she glared down at the woman with even more coldness than before.
While her little handmaid stood with the back of her head against her belly while she towered over the young girl with her lips bared in a cold snarl.
Ty Lee couldn't help but giggle quietly as she watched the two from the sidelines while she once more mused that they are indeed an adorable couple.
"R-relax. I was only joking." Jiao assured in a nervous voice as the much taller princess loomed over her young girlfriend with her icy eyes glaring back at her sweating face.
"Do I look amused peasant?" Azula inquired in a cruel voice while the shorter woman flinched as she took a step back.
Only for another voice to filter into the balcony as they all turned their heads to see Zoi leaning in the doorway.
"I would advise you against touching Jiao…because if you so much as lay a finger on her…then many people on this ship will die." Zoi announced from the doorway with her cold eyes staring in as all five girls rounded to face her.
A terrifying shudder spread throughout the air as even Mai, Ty Lee and Elle felt a chill travel down their spine when they met the warrior's gaze.
Azula exhaled blue fire as she turned to glare back at her soldier's defiant golden gaze while the seductress sprinted past her.
"You have some gall to threaten me Zoi? For a commoner swindler!" Azula hissed in an equally callous voice as she glared at Jiao who was now taking cover behind Zoi's much taller back.
It was now readily apparent just why the gold digger was so audacious.
"I would. Because she's mine. And if you want my loyalty in the war to come you will remember that you are to never touch what belongs to me. I suggest you never forget that I am your equal. And I could easily open Ty Lee's throat before you made it over to her side." Zoi remarked in a frigid voice with her right hand on the hilt of her blade while she gazed at the injured Ty Lee through the corner of her eye.
Ty Lee swallowed down her fear as she balanced herself on her crutch while Azula gazed over Elle's worried head with angered amber golden eyes.
Mai glared back at Zoi with knives hidden under her sleeve.
This was just another reminder that she needed to stay at her best in order to be prepared in case Zoi turns on them!
She wasn't going to let Zoi brutalize her for a third time!
'Next time…it will be different.' Mai thought with determination in her tawny eyes while the noblewoman stared coldly back at them.
Only for the glowering princess to hiss out another reply.
"Please Zoi. You are not my equal." Azula snapped in a conceited voice with her little servant still pressing against her upper belly.
She snarled with fire snorting from her constricting nostrils with her pet loyally standing right in front of her.
The meaning of the dragon like gesture was clear to all as she continued to exhale blue fire over the tiny girl's head while her callous growls flowed into the air.
"It's true and you know it. If it wasn't. You wouldn't be hesitating to attack." Zoi stated in a growl with yellow fire pouring forth from her nostrils while Jiao smiled up at her turned back.
The sight of the warrior using even the smallest amount of firebending to guard her strange lover was not unnoticed by the three highborn women.
Least of all Azula.
"It seems that I must teach you a lesson soldier." Azula snorted with fire exuding from her nostrils in greater volume while she loomed over her quivering handmaid.
"I'm ready when you are Princess." Zoi retorted with a snort of her own while she defensively loomed over her younger lover.
Only for Elle to tug on Azula's sleeve as the princess glanced down at her through the corner of her ruthless eye.
"P-please don't fight Azula-sama. Why don't we go sit alone together and I'll give you a massage to calm you down?" Elle offered in a sweet voice as she held her girlfriend's strong hand while Azula gazed down at her with fire still snorting from her nostrils.
"Take that stupid peasant of yours and get out of my sight! And teach her to respect her betters while you're at it!" Azula bellowed in a callous voice with her pet still tugging at her sleeve while Ty Lee breathed a sigh of relief.
And Mai finally relaxed her combat stance when Zoi took her hand of her blade at long last.
"Why don't you stop being such a tightass and get a sense of humor?" Zoi scoffed as she turned around with her golden eyes gazing back at Azula's snarling face.
"You have some nerve to tell me to get a sense of humor over being disrespected by a peasant." Azula snapped as she growled while her young girlfriend pulled on her wrist.
"P-Princess…" Elle begged while her mistress let out a deep growl as she peered up at her with loyal amber eyes.
"Don't make me laugh. Four of us are killers and you are going to make a big deal about one of us being a thief?" Zoi questioned in a composed voice with her words eliciting a guilty look from her two fellow nobles.
Only for the princess to just glare after her as she let out one final growl with fire snorting from her nostrils.
"There had better not be a repeat of this incident Zoi. If there is. I will show her no mercy." Azula warned in a frigid voice while she glared after her departing soldier with the other woman quickly following after her heels.
Only for all three of them to stare on with a deadpan look in their eyes not a moment later when the girl linked her arm around the warrior's elbow.
While pressing her face into the older woman's muscular bicep with a coy smile on her lips.
"Oh, my big strong Dragon of the Song Clan! You truly are a real gentlewoman!" Jiao exclaimed in an amorous voice with a wide smile while a smirk was now returning to the older woman's lips.
"The Dragon of the Song Clan?" Mai snorted with a roll of her eyes while Azula did the same.
"What can I say Jiao? I protect what's mine." Zoi replied in a prideful voice while she allowed the younger woman to embrace her arm.
"I knew that these feminine muscles would come in handy." Jiao purred as her taller lover smirked down at her before they stepped through the open door.
The other four members of Team Azula watched the two vanish down the hall.
It was only when they were certain that Zoi was out of earshot did, they finally speak.
"And she tells me that my romantic life is shit." Mai stated in a mocking voice while the princess scoffed in agreement.
"Well I am glad that's over. Such negativity is not good for our auras." Ty Lee spoke with a joyful grin once more while her little sister smiled over in her direction.
Only for the princess to roll her eyes in a snide manner before she turned to bark out an order down at her now trembling handmaid.
"Look alive peasant! Leisure time is over! I demand that you come with me to my chamber to service me!" Azula demanded as she thrust a finger down in Elle's intimidated face while her childhood friends cast her an exasperated glance.
Only for a refined smile to form on her lips when she watched her pet begin to rapidly bow at the hip.
"Azula…" Ty Lee sighed with a shake of her head while her spoiled friend still smiled down at her bowing little sister.
"Sumimasen Azula-sama! Sumimasen!" Elle cried out with her head bent in a show of profound respect while her mistress smiled down at her.
Azula held one hand behind her back as she rubbed the underside of her chin with a curled-up finger while she gazed down at her dainty serving girl with a gratified gleam in her power-hungry eyes.
"Hm. Now this is a respectful peasant. I approve of this one…" Azula announced with a fond smile on her full lips while peered down at her serving girl bowing with her head at level with her waistline.
The two noblewomen just exchanged a glance while they gazed fondly at their little sister knowing better than to comment on the strange couple's odd way of interacting.
"T-that means the world to me to hear that Azula-sama. H-how may I serve you today?" Elle stuttered in a bashful voice as she twiddled her thumbs while her caretaker smiled down at her.
Only to speedily straighten when the older woman clapped her palms together with a controlling smile adorning her lips.
"Come servant! Let's go spend some time alone together." Azula purred as she wagged her finger for her pet to follow while Elle gazed up at her with an adorable love-struck look in her little eyes.
"I-I would like that Azula-sama." Elle stammered in an abashed voice as Azula began to walk ahead of her with her hands regally folded behind her back.
Before she quickly grabbed her backpack as she padded after her mistress while her big sisters gazed down at her fondly.
"I'll see you later oneesans!" Elle called out in a loving voice while the two women smiled after her.
"I'll snuggle you more later little sister!" Ty Lee cooed in a sisterly voice while the younger girl blushed as her friend glared at her from over her shoulder.
"Yeah. See you later kiddo. Thanks for the help earlier." Mai replied in a mildly softer voice while the younger girl waved back at her.
"It was a pleasure oneesan!" Elle chimed as she hastily made her way after Azula while they made their way down the hallway.
Only for her innocent eyes to instantly be drawn to Azula's round robed posterior.
The sight of curvaceous womanly thighs swaying ever so slightly with flawless feminine buttocks bouncing in her line of vision started to make her heart race.
Just as she gasped with her breath hitching in her throat while she timidly padded after the older woman's footfalls.
Only to gulp when her face suddenly bumped into the much taller woman's back while she gazed down with a deep blush to see her princess's round ass was now touching her trembling upper belly.
"Are you enjoying the view servant?" Azula taunted in a knowing voice with her shapely rear pushing against her girlfriend's trembling belly.
Her smile grew even larger when she heard the girl whimper pitifully.
"P-please spare me Azula-sama. I-I don't know how to handle gazing at such a beautiful butt." Elle whimpered like a nervous puppy while she averted her eyes when the older woman turned around to smile down at her.
"You are just too adorable peasant." Azula spoke with just a sliver of affection in her cold voice as she reached out to touch her servant's cheek with a warm fingernail.
"I-I strive to be adorable for you Azula-sama…" Elle trailed off in a timid voice as she kicked at an imaginary pebble while she leaned into Azula's petting hand.
Only to pout in disappointment when the older woman swiftly removed her hand not a second later while she gulped to find herself being glared at by imposing amber golden eyes once more.
"Quit standing around servant! I don't have all day!" Azula barked in a tone of feigned fury as she turned away with her serving girl speedily bowing to her once more.
"Yes Azula-sama! Sumimasen!" Elle shouted in a devoted voice with her backpack over her shoulders.
Just as she rushed after the older woman's footfalls once again as they made their way through the halls of the ship.
Her mistress glared murderously at any servants or people who even so much as tried to look their way.
Until it wasn't much longer later that they made their way to Azula's enormous royal quarters in the command tower of the royal sloop.
Twenty minutes later…
Elle sat in confusion on her mistress's gigantic canopy bed while she watched Azula gracefully sit down before her.
Only to tremble when the older woman reached out to affectionately cup her cheek in a strong hand.
"How can I serve you Mistress? W-would you like a foot massage? Is there something that you want me to clean? Do you want me to draw you up a bath?" Elle pondered in a doting voice with a worshipful look in her amber eyes while she quivered under her girlfriend's gentle touch.
Only for the older woman to smile down at her with a rare look of fondness in her cold amber golden eyes while she softly held her face.
"Your diligence is noted servant. But right now, all I want is for you to sit with me." Azula spoke with her crimson lips smiling fondly while a tiny sliver of pink now adorned her regal cheeks.
She held her trembling handmaid's cheek in hand just as the girl smiled sweetly up at her.
Only for Elle to blush when the princess placed her hand in her blonde hair while the princess gazed down at her with a possessive amber golden gaze.
"I-I would love to sit with you Azula-sama." Elle stuttered in a lovable voice while the princess petted her hair with a refined smile now gracing her full lips.
As she inclined her head obediently in a half bow while she sat kneeling forward as the older woman petted her hair with a warm hand.
"Oh peasant…" Azula sighed in a fond voice as she leaned down to peer directly into her serving girl's adorable eyes while she continued to pet the girl's plush head.
"O-oh Princess." Elle mumbled in a bashful voice while she smiled serenely when Azula pressed her nose into her cheek.
She found herself blushing deeply as she gazed back into supremely dominant amber golden eyes that were hovering right before her own widening gaze.
Only to giggle innocently not a moment later when her princess let out a forceful snort with her nostrils exhaling against her quivering cheek.
Azula held her palm in her hair as she gazed shyly back into the older woman's authoritative amber golden eyes.
Her princess lovingly continued to press her nose into her cheek as she let out a dominant growl in her ear that sent a delightful shiver down her spine.
"I…like you peasant…as in really, really like you." Azula growled out in an uncharacteristically softer voice with her callous eyes staring right back into her serving girl's innocent eyes.
"I-I like you too Azula-sama." Elle admitted in a sheepish voice as her heart pounded wonderfully while the older woman's hot breath washed over her timid cheek.
She smiled in delight as she sat with her forehead pushing into her girlfriend's while her princess gazed back into her eyes with a spellbinding amber golden gaze.
Just as she giggled once more while the older woman let out another dominant snort against her cheek just as she aggressively growled into her love-struck ear.
"I own you Elle. You are my submissive." Azula snarled in a domineering voice with her nose nudging her little handmaid's cheek while her young girlfriend lovably peered back into her eyes with a shy smile.
"You own me Azula-sama. I am your submissive and you are my dominant." Elle agreed in a loyal voice with a hand over her heart while she giggled as Azula's warm breath washed against her skin.
"Such a pretty little peasant." Azula snorted in a controlling voice with her palm still planted in her serving girl's hair while she allowed her pet to adorably nuzzle her cheek.
"Y-you lead Azula-sama." Elle stammered in a tender voice as she rubbed her cheek against her girlfriend's while the older woman growled against her ear.
"And you yield servant." Azula stated in a tone that brook no room for argument while she gazed hard back into her young girlfriend's swooning amber eyes.
"Yes Azula-sama. I yield…I will always lead." Elle spoke in a soft voice with another giggle while Azula's nostrils exhaled against her cheek once more.
Just as she suddenly found herself straightening in a trained panic when the older woman's voice suddenly shouted in her ears.
Only to find Azula's strong hand pushing back down on her head while she quivered under the princess's beyond dominating stare.
"Peasant!" Azula barked with a haughty snort as she brushed a lock of hair from her eyes while she pushed down on her pet's golden head.
"Yes Princess! How may I please you?" Elle answered in a devoted voice with a bashful smile while her mistress smirked down at her in approval.
"I made something for you!" Azula announced in an imposingly authoritative voice with one hand on her knee while peeked up at her with lovably excited amber eyes.
"F-for me Azula-sama?" Elle breathed with her heart racing so wonderfully as she touched her necklace with a trembling hand while Azula huffed over her.
"Yes peasant! For you! And I expect you to be grateful! It is a rare honor for a peasant to receive a gift from a princess!" Azula bellowed as she pointed a pompous finger in her young girlfriend's gulping cheek only to smile widely when the girl bowed even lower.
"Wakarimashita Azula-sama!" Elle exclaimed with her face now in her girlfriend's lap as she melted like butter while the princess petted her head.
"Hm. Rise servant. Sit with your princess." Azula commanded in a charming voice as she pulled her little girlfriend up until they were nose to nose once more.
"M-my Fire Queen." Elle swooned with a hand on her cheek while Azula's cold eyes gazed right back into her own while she giggled when the older woman snorted against her cheek once again.
Only to blink curiously when a paper shoved into her hand as gazed up into her princess's stoic eyes while Azula's lips pursed into a proud scowl.
"Read it Elle!" Azula demanded in a spoiled voice with her cold amber golden eyes trying her hardest to mask her anticipation while her girlfriend gazed up at her with emotional amber eyes.
"Azula-sama…you wrote me a poem…" Elle mumbled in a moved voice as she held the paper in her hand while her princess rolled her beautiful eyes down at her.
"Obviously! In case you can't tell I am rolling my eyes." Azula huffed in a supremely snobbish voice as she proudly glared down into her little handmaid's eyes while Elle lovingly nuzzled her cheek once more.
Just as she let out another dominant growl as she pressed her nose into the girl's dainty cheek while she felt her girlfriend place her hand over hers.
"That…that was so kind of you Azula-sama. To think of me…" Elle trailed off in a bashful voice as she gazed back into Azula's dominating amber golden eyes while the older woman breathed into her cheek.
Only to glance down at the poem while her innocent amber eyes began to wide in delight while the much taller woman glanced down at her with her cold eyes paying close attention to her face.
"Yes well. I am certain that it is without flaw! Just as I am!" Azula exclaimed in a proud voice while she gazed intently back into her Elle's own widened eyes.
Her icy gaze intently searched to gauge her young love interest's feelings.
She grasped at her knees with an inpatient scowl adorning her beautiful lips as she snorted out a tiny puff of embers against the girl's trembling cheek.
The young serving girl sat with her mouth agape in profound emotion as she read the poem with her amber eyes shimmering in appreciation.
The poem had been written in English and it read as follows.
Conquer You
I am going to conquer you.
I will brutally crush your defenses through and through.
Until there is nothing more you can do to oppose me.
And there is no place for you to flee.
Because my dominance over you is absolute.
This you know to be beyond dispute.
The only thing you can do is submit to my domination.
Or else you will never again rise above the ashes of your shame and humiliation.
And so, I demand that you bow before me.
You know that there is no denying that this is where you want to be.
You will never again be free.
Because you belong to me.
Each and every little part.
Even your childish little heart.
P.S.
Be mine or I will burn you to ashes in the wake of my flames!
Sincerely,
Princess Azula.
The strange couple now sat in silence while Elle still gazed down at the poem with heartfelt emotion in her misting eyes.
Her heart continued to pound wonderfully in her chest as she shyly placed a hand on her robes while her girlfriend still glared back into her emotional eyes.
Just as the much taller princess briefly turned to glare over her shoulder with a barely noticeable flicker of insecurity in her prideful gaze.
"Well! Do you like it?" Azula asked with her hands on her legs while she gazed down at her petite girlfriend with her brows now furrowing in puzzlement to see a tear streaming down her girlfriend's cheek.
"A-Azula-sama…" Elle spoke in a soft voice with a sniffle escaping her nose while her girlfriend now loomed over her with an overprotective look in her cold amber golden eyes.
"Why are you crying! Cease that at once or I will have you put to the sword!" Azula roared with fire escaping her nostrils while she glared imposingly back into her young companion's teary amber eyes.
"I-I'm trying Princess but I'm just so…" Elle replied as she wiped at her eyes while Azula leaned in to loom over her blushing face with a deep scowl adorning her crimson lips.
"What's wrong? I thought that you were seeking an authoritative woman to take command of your life. That's what you want isn't it? You want my dominance, don't you?" Azula questioned in a carefully composed voice with her lips just barely curving into an even greater frown.
And for the briefest of moments her amber golden eyes even flashed with a sliver of uncertainty.
The young girl could only sniffle with a smile growing onto her lips knowing full well that was her princess's way of asking for her consent.
As rough around the edges as her girlfriend may be.
She knew that Azula would never do anything to her that she didn't want.
And with that…
The princess turned around with her callous eyes flickering in surprise when her small girlfriend abruptly squealed in delight.
Just before the girl leaped right into her arms.
She found herself inexplicably unable to resist catching her serving girl while a smirk slowly returned to her lips as she now held the smaller girl in her arms.
"I am so happy Azula-sama! I'm not crying because I'm sad…I'm crying because this is what I want!" Elle squealed as she now laid on her back with her blushing cheeks peering up at her girlfriend's now smugly smirking face.
"I knew it all along. You won't be satisfied until I reign supreme over every trivial thing in your little life. Right down to your private thoughts! So be it be peasant! Consider your wish granted!" Azula declared in a proud voice as she gently balanced serving girl's body in her arms just as she suddenly stood up from her bed.
Her pet lay blushing adorably on her back with her head curling up into the crook of her neck.
"Oh, my beautiful princess charming…you are so romantic!" Elle cried out with undying adoration in her voice while she felt Azula cradle her close with a strong palm in her hair.
"Tell me something that I don't already know." Azula stated in a conceited voice as she gracefully glided across her giant chamber with her young girlfriend laying in her bosom.
Only to plopped her round posterior down into her large plush throne with her muscular arms now crushing her trembling girlfriend into the crook of her neck.
She leaned in to growl lowly in her handmaid's love-struck ear as the smaller girl wrapped her arms around her neckline.
"O-ooh Azula-sama… " Elle swooned as she sighed peacefully in the much taller woman's lap while her princess's toned arms held her tight.
All the while she giggled when she felt her princess push her nose into her hair while the older woman continued her ritual of dominance.
"You are mine little lady. You have been conquered. I suggest you remember that." Azula announced in a charismatic voice with a sanguine smile returning to her lips while she placed a chaste kiss on her gasping girlfriend's forehead.
"I…could never Princess…not in a million years…" Elle spoke in a joyful voice as she gazed up into Azula's entrancing amber golden eyes while she contently sunk into her caretaker's shoulder.
All while Azula continued to stroke her hair with a fond finger while she curled up her legs in the older girl's lap.
"Hm. That's my Elle." Azula purred in a regal voice with her hands in her girlfriend's hair while the smaller girl hid into her robed breasts.
"I-I am Her Highness's girl." Elle mumbled in a serene voice while she pushed her face into the princess's body while a warm hand stroked the back of her head.
"Yes, you are Elle. Yes, you are." Azula sighed in a marginally softer voice as she reclined with Elle cuddled up against her breast.
And with that the two girls' chose to spend the rest of their time together in relative quiet.
The princess greatly enjoyed her private moment of closeness with her little peasant.
And if you asked Azula…
There was no doubt about it.
This one has truly fallen to her unstoppable conquest.
And soon enough…so will the rest of the world.
That she knew for certain.
AN:
Alright, so first let me respond to the reviews.
KingZilla, I was hesitant to name the breed of dog because Avatar does not state what breeds exist in the show. Only that they have dogs. I am partial to dachshunds, but I am not sure if they would exist on Azula's Earth. Because specific breeds come to be as a result of particular breeding that may not have been done in the Avatar world.
Otakufreak225, unfortunately. It is not for the time being. Mostly because there would be no believable way to explain the dog vanishing for entire battles on end. And I doubt that Azula would expend the energy to guard a puppy in battle. But it may be canon eventually. Later on in the series after all the drama has settled, I may tie Zula into the main story line. But worry not, there will be another one shot of Zula eventually. :)
Agent Banana, ha I am not so sure that she would have. Because then Azula would have Zuko laughing at her when he sees her toting a puppy around. Any amusement that Azula gained from watching Zuko get his heels bit at would vanish when she starts getting laughed at.
LostAmericanSpy, I don't dispute that. Zuko wasn't nice to animals either until Ursa taught him otherwise. If you remember he threw a rock at the turtle duck too. If Ursa had not taught him that it was wrong I think he would have continued to do it like Azula.
So, Mai is finally training again. And we see once again that Elle pays close attention to the moods of not just Azula, but Mai, Ty Lee and Zoe as well.
And Zoe finally learned that Elle is not from the Four Nations. She was bound to learn sooner or later. She had her suspicions but she wasn't sure what to make of them.
And we also saw that Zoe classifies Chancellor Terak as a highly dangerous individual. Unlike Azula, she doesn't think that her status grants her safety. Azula tends to look down on people. Which is precisely how Terak operates. He thrives on being looked at as weak while he connives behind everyone's back.
Also, the scene where Zoe and Azula stood off was just the two of them being prideful. Zoe's loyalty comes at the price of doing as she pleases and she was just reminding Azula of that fact.
As for Jiao, as I stated before. Her character is meant to be a bit of a bitch. She is very manipulative like Azula, but unlike Azula she is of low birth. And her focus is more on obtaining riches than causing suffering or gaining power.
She would have never had the guts to say any of that if she wasn't an object of Zoe's affections. But because she has Zoe, she knew that Zoe would defend her if necessary.
Granted, just about any other commoner would have faced a hefty punishment for being caught gossiping about Azula like that. But Jiao is aware that as long as she is with Zoe that she can speak freely. Within reason of course.
This sort of lack of regard for rules and proper conduct fits in line with Zoe's behavior. Jiao knows that Zoe doesn't care for pretenses, and thus she has grown used to being able to speak openly around Zoe.
At this point Jiao's theft is more of an addiction than a genuine need for money. She is addicted to swindling from the wealthy. It's just a game to her.
Also, Jiao doesn't mean Azula any harm. It's not like she plans on betraying her. She just feels like having a powerhouse for a lover grants her more freedom than the average peasant.
And as usual Elle is far too sweet to ever even think of taking a single unearned coin from Azula.
I also hope that everyone enjoyed Azula's poem. I figured that it was in Azula's character for her poem to be centered around dominance, shame and humiliation. :)
Lastly, before I conclude. I want to state that the new arc begins next chapter. And it is a very long arc. It will cap out at around thirty chapters. I have written twenty of thirty. There will be four parts to the arc. I have written all but the last one. But the last event is still about one third of the arc.
I have been having difficulty with the end of this arc. I am getting there but it is going more slowly than the previous arcs. I am just trying to get the end of the arc down in my head. And the last thing I want is to start uploading faster than I am writing.
It is crucial that I maintain a steady supply of reserve chapters. Otherwise, the published chapters will catch up with the unpublished. And then if I run out I risk falling into a rut trying to play catch up.
I don't want that to happen. Because that's how people get overwhelmed with their workload. For the time being the updates will probably stay at every five to seven days.
Just don't be surprised if you get another oneshot or two here and there because that helps me space things out.
Anyhow. That's it for now.
Stay tuned for next time.
For chapter seventy-one! The Forgetful Valley!
