Rajine leads Estarossa to a valley with grassy hills that happen to have trees here and there. They found a considerably large tree to offer them shade and rest under and sat down with each other. Rajine was leaning on Estarossa's muscular chest, her legs folded to the side. The sensation of how close she and the prince were in contact and the fact she was in the arms of one with such a strong and manly build was causing warmth to come over her cheeks. It even provoked a certain feeling of...arousal within the woman who found favor in the Commandment's eyes due to how her now lover almost emanated a sense of virility. Estarossa was seated with one knee up and one leg out with one of his arms resting on the knee that was up as he gently embraced Rajine's curves.
They sat for some time, admiring the peacefulness of the view. Rajine then asked, "So, how was your day thus far?"
"Uh, how shall I say this, bad. Really bad."
"Why?" Rajine asked in response to her lover.
"Where do I start… well, my day started kind of calm. That was until I was jump-scared and told in a nutshell that the Demon King was pissed and demanded my presence."
"Really?," Rajine jerked up, "Why is everything alright?"
Estarossa seeing her concern, placed his arm on her shoulder and replied "Rajine, baby, everything's fine, nothing for you to burden yourself about", causing her to calm down, now resting under Estarossa's arm.
"The matter wasn't really about me, rather, Meliodas."
"What's up?"
"Rumor has been spread about him and the Supreme Deity's daughter, Elizabeth, being together."
"Why was he so upset? I thought we had a peace treaty with the Goddess Race?"
Estarossa nearly jumped up, his eyes big, as he felt that Rajine finished his thoughts.
"What's wrong?" Rajine asked.
"You just said what I was about to say. I didn't understand that either! It seems like if we are apparently at peace with them, why would there be an issue?"
"I know right? But, what did you say? Did your father ask anything?"
Estarossa continued "Yes. He briefly and aggressively asked me did I know anything about the situation and I said no…"
"Well, do you?" asked Rajine.
Estarossa hesitated for a second. "Okay, I trust you. Please don't tell your sister or Monspeet. Or anyone for that matter."
"Why would I?"
"I don't know, but, yes I do. I've seen them together. But I lied to him."
"If he finds out, couldn't you get in serious trouble?"
"Of course, I could for all I know he may want to torture or kill me, but, let's not discuss that."
Rajine's eyes widened in concern with her hand over her mouth, looking up at Estarossa.
"Babygirl, don't worry about me. He won't find out. No one else knows about what I just confessed but you and I know my secret is safe with you."
"Got that right," replied Rajine lowering her hand, and returning her gaze outward.
"But how did the rest of the meeting go?"
"It was kind of quick. My father ranted, Meliodas came in, we left the room, heard yelling, he left, then all of us left and went about our business."
"You poor thing" replied Rajine, sympathetically.
"At this point, I'm used to it, but, thank you for your sympathy."
"Is your father, the Demon King…abusive?"
"Not always. Yet when he is I guess it could be considered… verbal abuse. Despite that, which I find odd, he can be quite kind or softer. Of course when he feels like it can vary from time to time. But never really physically abusive."
"Wow, I did not even consider how the Demon King might be behind closed doors. Not that I needed to know, but I didn't consider that," said Rajine, shifting her gaze to Estarossa's face.
"Anyway, that's not much to worry about now that I'm here with you."
Rajine smiled, her cheeks turning red. Estarossa and Rajine then embraced each other in a long intimate kiss. For what felt like hours they kissed, although it was only a few minutes.
They both then slowly pulled away from each other, not caring that they just shared their first kiss. They felt like they had known each other for years although it's only been a few days.
"I think we should head home now, it's getting a bit late," said Estarossa, as the two of them did not realize how long they had been talking to each other.
"I think you're right but before you go, can we meet again tomorrow? And if we can, where?" Rajine asked.
"Come here around 11 am, I'll find you and from there, I'll sneak you to my chambers and we can hang there for the day?"
"Your father's okay with that?"
"He won't know" replied Estarossa, smirkingly.
"Fine by me. I'll see you tomorrow, Estarossa" Rajine said, as she kissed him on one of his cheeks.
"You as well" replied Estarossa, watching Rajine as she walked away, taking flight for her dwelling.
Estarossa did the same, his thoughts infatuated with this woman he had only met practically a day ago. Perhaps, he is falling or rather has fallen. Fallen hard at that.
