Summary: Katara is about to be put to death when the Fire Lord has her sent back to her cell while the others are made into slaves for the palace. The Fire Lord visits the feisty waterbender in her cell and tells her he will make her his concubine as he liked her and admired her inner flame. Katara is bewildered by this and is taken to be prepared for her service to the Fire Lord, will she be able to survive the affection of the Fire Lord? Or will she have to escape him after learning what his true plans are?
Part 1:
Pacing her cell, Katara tried to figure out what was to become of her. She figured they'd just kill her on the spot after she refused to bow to the Fire Lord but just as they were going to burn her alive, the Fire Lord, himself, ordered she be taken away to her cell. Did he want to torture her first? Try to get a rise out of her before ending her life? Awful enough that he killed her best friend and burned Ba Seng Sei to the ground. Now, her friends were all made into slaves and she was here, awaiting her punishment for not conforming to the imperial rule of the Fire Nation.
As she paced back and forth, Katara heard the cell door that open and turned to see the Fire Lord entering. She gasped and stepped back until her back hit the wall as his height was intimidating. Her blue eyes focused on his gold ones as he stared callously at her. She swallowed hard as the cell door was closed behind him and he breathed out smoke from his nostril.
"Katara."
Her eyes widened. "How do you know my name?!"
Scoffing, "I know all your little friend's names. Little pests running around causing me nothing but trouble. You'll pay for that. You especially since you have so little preservation of your own life." The Fire Lord bit out.
"Just kill me and get it over with."
Smirking, "Oh, I want you very much alive for what I have instored for you. You will not be dying anytime soon."
Katara's eyes widened. "Y-you're going to torture me?" She could barely manage to say.
The Fire Lord burst into laughter before giving her a look over. "If being my concubine is torture, then yes, I plan to torture you to death."
Katara's mouth fell agape.
…..
"Are you sure, my lord?" Yotori, the Fire Lord's primary servant asks him.
Lounging on his patio in an open robe, Ozai grinned to himself as he looked over his wine glass and sighed. He felt he was very sure. So sure, in fact, he wanted to see her right away. He knew the madam of the harem had to be done with her already. He wanted to see what that pretty little bitch looked like once she was all dressed up, she would surely make a nice addition to his harem, regardless of her low status.
The waterbender was brought to him, shackled and chained. She was dressed in a unique outfit that was specifically made for concubines that were prisoners of war. It was a red tube top with matching baggy pants that cuffed at the ankles like genie pants. Her hair was tied up high with some hair left out to curve around the frame of her face. She had gold cuffs on her ankles and wrists that match the gold brace around her neck. Her eyes were lined with black liner and there was red paint applied to her lips. And to top things off, the waterbender had the markings of a harem lady printed on her forehead.
Licking his lips as he stood up, the Fire Lord approached her and grasped her jaw in his hand. "Look at you. Prettier than most of my harem ladies."
Katara pulled her chin away from him and snapped her teeth at his hand.
"Oooo," Ozai smirked. "This is exactly why I want you, you little water peasant. You've got fire in you, I like it."
The waterbender looked at him in disgust.
"Oh don't be like that. For a lowborn, you should be honored. Many highborn women fought to be my concubine and you merely disrespected me and were chosen. Lucky girl." Ozai caressed her face as she cringed at his touch. "I'll name you Lady Sapphire for those beautiful blue eyes of yours."
Katara shivered as his hand went through her hair, "I have a name."
"Yes and this is your new name as my concubine. Everyone will refer to you as such, myself included." Ozai informed her. "So get used to it. Katara no longer exists."
Katara was sent off with a maid assigned to her and escorted to the harem where she'd be given lodging under a ranking concubine known as a consort. The consort she was assigned to serve under was Consort Fumi. The Fire Lord warned her to be on her best behavior as Fumi was no easy woman to put up with, admitting even he struggled to keep her in line. However, Katara was not afraid of this woman.
Entering the domain of Consort Fumi, Katara was led to where she saw a woman decked out in the finest silk kimono and most expensive jewelry. She was told on her way here that Consort Fumi was the richest of the consorts as she had the wealth of her family behind her and the attention of the Fire Lord. No consort was better taken care of than Consort Fumi and all the concubines under her were also granted certain luxuries as the Fire Lord visited them most as well. Katara hoped she wouldn't be included in that statistic but after hearing the Fire Lord admit to taking a liking to her, she worried he'd come to visit her.
Eating grapes from one of the maids feeding her while the other fanned her, Fumi saw the newest addition to her household be brought forth and she smirked. "Lady Sapphire."
Katara was pushed to her knees by the guards and told to bow her head, "Consort Fumi."
"Rise." Fumi said as she gestured for Katara to stand.
Standing, Katara was helped up by her maid and given a look over by the consort.
"You're not the first prisoner of war to join the harem. Just the first to get sent to me. Our lord must be taken with you. I wonder why." Fumi lounged ever so haughtily as she was fed another grape. "Well, I don't doubt for a second he will come tonight to ask for you." Fumi looked at her fanning maid. "Have her prepared for our lord's visit."
The maid nodded to the consort and turned to lead the way to Lady Sapphire's chambers. They weren't as small of a suite as Katara had thought they'd be but they were nowhere near as large as some of the other consorts and concubines. She was afterall a prisoner of war technically.
"You need to be bathed in almond milk and honey as well as groomed for any hair you might have on your body." The maid informed Katara. "That and be helped into the lingerie the Fire Lord has personally picked out for you."
"Personally?" Katara raised a brow.
The maid nodded. "He sent Consort Fumi the lingerie he wanted you to wear."
Katara swallowed hard.
An hour later, Katara was more than prepared to be seen by the Fire Lord. Her hair was let down to cascade down her back as she was dressed in the skimpy outfit the Fire Lord wanted her to wear. The bottoms she wore were so skinny and went straight up her ass crack while the front of it did little to hide her sex. Her breasts were cupped with a matching red bralette that had ruby beads dangling from the hem of it. Her gold cuffs of her ankles and wrists were readjusted to fit more tightly.
"Here, drink this." The maid told her.
Katara eyed the cup as it was placed in her hands. "What is it?"
"Trust me, I can tell you're going to try to put up a fight. This will make things easier for you. The choice is yours."
Katara eyed the cup and swallowed hard as she tried to decide if she wanted to be drugged to endure a night with the Fire Lord or if she wanted to be completely alert. It wasn't a hard decision as she gulped down the drug and asked the maid for another. She wanted to be completely out of it when she was with the Fire Lord. Drinking the second cup of the drug, Katara wiped her mouth and saw the maid looking sympathetically at her.
"Is he that bad?"
"He can be." The maid admitted. "I wouldn't know but he's gentle with some and other's…well, I pray he's not as cruel with you. The aftermath can be rather…disturbing."
Katara felt she needed one more serving of that drug but the maid warned her too much can cause her terrible nausea.
"Wait for him on your bed with the canopy curtains drawn." The maid instructed her.
Katara climbed into the round circular bed and the maid pulled the translucent curtains around her bed. As she waited, the waterbender tried to get herself together. She was so nervous. More nervous than she fought her last battle with Zuko against Azula. Thank La, she got rid of her virginity months ago. Zuko had been a good friend to help her with that. He tried to talk her out of it but she knew what would become of her if the wrong person captured her. She just never thought it would be his father that would subject her to the life of a sex slave.
The doors to her chambers opened and she watched as the Fire Lord entered in a simple red and gold robe that was slightly opened, revealing his very toned chest and the matching pants with gold trimming. His hair was completely down and he wore a smirk as he made his way to her bed. She looked up with wide eyes as he pulled the curtains back, peering down at her with a ravenish hunger she had never seen on anyone's face. Oh gods! Help me!
He climbed into the bed and crawled his way over to her as she tried backing away. His large form was frightening in comparison to her much smaller build. She shut her eyes tight and shook.
"You're a virgin?" The Fire Lord asked her.
Katara shook her head.
Smirking, "Then this shouldn't bother you so much." He purred.
Ozai watched as the girl held her breath and was practically dying on the inside of fright. As much as he wanted to fuck this little water bitch's brains out, he didn't want a woman that was terrified of him. Easing off of her, he decided to settle on the bed beside her, lying on his side as he looked her over, taking a lock of her hair as he eyes gradually reopened.
"How about we get to know each other better, hmm?" Ozai asked her.
Katara trembled as her eyes slowly moved to her side and looked down at where he was lying beside her in the bed. "Wh-what?"
Smirking as he pulled her hair to his lips, "Tonight, I just want to talk."
"But why?" Her voice continued to shake.
Ozai shifted his gaze away from her, "I might want to spend the night giving you a just deserved fucking but I'm no rapist. If you're going to resist that much, I rather talk instead."
Katara let out the breath of air she had been holding in.
"Tell me, girl, did I steal you from anyone?"
Shaking her head.
Grinning, "Boyfriend left you after he got what he wanted from you?"
"No!" Katara quickly said. "I never had a boyfriend."
"Then who did you sleep with?"
"None of your business." Katara pulled her hair from his hand.
Chuckling, "Don't worry. I already know."
"He told you?!"
Ozai nodded.
"Damn him!" Katara said in frustration as she threw her hands in her chest. "Zuko swore he'd never tell anyone! He promised! I just didn't want to lose my virginity by force, so I asked him to help me get rid of it!"
Ozai grinned. "So it was my son, was it?"
Katara's eyes widened as she realized he tricked her into telling him.
"Cute. So it was just a single night of wanting to be rid of your virginity. Smart girl." Ozai purred at her.
Katara turned her head away from him as her face flushed red.
Sitting up, the Fire Lord ran his hand along her thigh and felt her shiver a little. "It wasn't just one night, was it?"
Biting her tongue, Katara refused to look at him as he loomed over her, rubbing her bare thigh.
"One time was not enough for you. I bet you ran off with him a few times and enjoyed every bit of it." Ozai whispered in her ear. "If he was so enjoyable, imagine how amazing it would be with me."
Katara shivered as he nipped her ear and a breathy moan left her. She soon felt his hand go all the way up her thigh and slip between them to her sex. Her heart sped up as his fingers began rubbing her budding sex and massaged it, extracting another moan from her. It wasn't her will but her legs parted a little to allow him to rub it even more. A cloudy haze fell over her and she figured it was the drug finally kicking in. She thanked La for that as she could tell he was done talking.
Rubbing her wet sex, feeling it get wetter and wetter, Ozai listened to her moan softly at his touch. "Good girl." Her legs spread wider as he moved his finger into the seat of her panties and probed her sex a little. As his finger entered slowly, pulling out just as slow before going back in, he heard her whimper. "Shhh, let me play with you a little."
The waterbender finally looked up at him and she nodded.
Smirking, Ozai looked from her eyes to her lips and leaned down to kiss them. He continued fingering her gently as he kissed her sensually. She tasted so sweet. Oh, he could feel the heat pool in his own gut. He hadn't felt this way in a long time with a woman and it made him crave this little water minx all the more.
Pulling his lips from her, Ozai cupped her face and looked her in her hazy blue orbs. "Tell me you want me."
Katara shook her head.
"Tell me." He pulled his finger out of her.
The waterbender shook her head.
"I won't fuck you unless you tell me you want me." Ozai growled a little as his lips ghosted hers.
"No." She giggled.
Smirking at her as she giggled till she snorted. "You took that drug, didn't you?"
Katara laughed and nodded.
Ozai pushed her on her back and pulled her panties off, tossing them aside. She kept laughing as he spread her legs and went down on his elbows, pulling her hips to him. Her laughter stopped as his tongue touched her wet sex and he began licking the folds of her sex. He lapped up all her juices, growing intoxicated by her taste, and hungrily devoured her. She moaned loudly as her hand reached into his hair and gripped it tight.
"Mmmm..." she bit her lip.
Ozai smirked at this and decided to push a finger into her, repeatedly fingering her as he tongued her down. He pulled his mouth from her to look up at her face as he kept fingering her tight little cunt.
"Tell me you want me." Ozai purred.
Katara shook her head.
Growling lowly, Ozai climbed over the waterbender and stared down at her, his hair falling over them. "Let me have you."
"No." Katara giggled again.
"Why not?"
"You're no lover of mine."
"I can be." He reached to caress her face. "I'll be a good lover too. Make this as pleasurable for you as it will be for me."
Katara bit her lip and shook her head.
Narrowing his eyes at her, Ozai figured he might have to make her want him more and leaned down to capture her lips again. He felt her kiss him back like before and drink him in as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He began removing his robe and pulled down her bra, squeezing at her breast. She moaned some more and he dipped himself against her, grinding his bulge into her sex to get her to understand what he had ready for her.
Kissing her down her jaw, "Let me have you." He pressed himself into her more.
"I don't want you."
"Why not?"
"You're old."
Ozai pulled away and looked at her strangely. "I'm what? Old?"
Katara nodded. "You're like my dad's age or something, I can't sleep with you."
Offended beyond repair, Ozai got up and climbed off of her. He couldn't believe it, this peasant called him old and to his face. "You disrespectful peasant!" he hissed.
"Correction, my father is a chieftain." Katara tilted her head. "I'm a princess."
"Of a wasteland."
"No thanks to your people's contributions." Katara reminded him.
Ozai clenched his fists as the girl sat up with her legs still spread. "I should take you by force and break you."
"By all means, my lord, break me and I promise I will make you regret it." Katara threatened with a smirk as she felt so high off the drug she was on.
Scoffing, "How can you make me regret anything?"
Katara smirked and bended the blood flow in the Fire Lord's arm. "Because it's a full moon tonight and these chi-blocking braces have no effect on me when the moon is whole."
Ozai's eyes widened as his arm involuntarily went behind his back and his head bowed. He noticed the waterbender was up on her feet in the bed, looking down on him in her naked form, her hair covering up some of her nudity as she folded her arms. His head was bent up and his gold eyes were on her, scowling at the smirk on her face.
"So you're going to escape?!" Ozai hissed.
"No." Katara smirked and sent him on his back as she climbed over top of him, gazing down at him. "Not yet at least."
Ozai watched as the girl lowered herself on his face to sit and grabbed his hair in her hands.
"Tongue out." She purred at him.
Glaring at her, Ozai did as she said and the girl rolled her hips against his tongue. He was a bit confused with her. With power like she had, wouldn't she just take off running to escape? Why was she riding his face? His eyes narrowed. You're high. Despite her not wanting to have sex with him, she clearly was enjoying herself enough under the influence of that drug that she wanted to continue with their evening. A small grin formed on his lips as he felt her hold on him weakening and he was able to grab onto her thighs as she moaned above him. Ozai raked his tongue harshly against her sex and watched as her legs quivered, still holding her tight by her thighs.
"Ahhh!" She bit her lip and clenched his hair as she came, feeling his tongue lick up all her essence.
"Want to cum even harder?" He asked in between him cleaning her up with his tongue.
Katara looked down at him and nodded.
"Get on all fours, girl."
Katara climbed off of him and did as he asked.
Ozai smirked as he climbed out of bed to carefully remove his pants so she wouldn't notice. She might have had sex before but she seemed clueless to what he was about to do. Her willingness to get in this position was consent enough for him as he climbed back into bed and positioned himself behind her. Grabbing her hips, Ozai ran one hand along her ass and smirked as he traced a finger to her sex to finger her again.
"I'm going to put my fingers in, okay?" He told her.
Katara nodded and lowered her head to the bed as she raised her hips.
Smirking, Ozai listened to her beautiful breathy moans as he used two fingers to loosen her up. He wanted her nice and wet again for when he put something else in her. He pumped her nice and hard causing her to move her hips against him. It wasn't long before he pulled his fingers out and replaced them with his member, shoving himself to the hilt in her. Katara gasped and rose up, clenching the sheets behind her as he pushed into her, stopping just as he was at her limit. He heard her nearly choke on her gasp as she tried not to moan and stiffened up.
"Want me to take it out?"
Katara whimpered.
"I can't understand you." Ozai smirked as he pulled out a little and pushed back in. "Do you…want me…to stop?"
As much as she didn't want to be having sex with the La damn Fire Lord, she couldn't help that he felt so good inside her and she desperately wanted to cum again. Katara refused to say it aloud but she wiggled her hips against him to let him know to continue.
Ozai was all too pleased with her wiggling herself against him and grasped her hips. He holds onto her and pulled himself out before slamming back into her, causing her to cry out and bow her head down again. He started fucking into her real good at an angle, getting off to how tight she was and the sound of her moans. He was still gentle with her even at this pace. It already dawned on him that he'd be back tomorrow and that she could very likely become a favorite of his. He wanted her to enjoy it, so she'd resist less whenever he came to see her.
Katara hated that she liked this. Hated that she couldn't convince herself that he should stop. It felt so good and she hadn't thought she'd be this needy. She and Zuko had sex just before the fight with Azula which wasn't even a week ago. Why was she so in need now? Was it a side effect of the drug? Maybe but whatever it was, she didn't care right now. She just wanted more.
It wasn't long before Katara came again and the Fire Lord pulled out to cum on her ass, groaning as he did.
The waterbender laid herself flat into the bed and felt her hair be gathered up by the Fire Lord as he leaned down to kiss her ear. "You took that well." He purred. "Give me a few more minutes and we can continue."
"Continue?" Katara asked as if that was ridiculous.
Chuckling as he caressed her and kissed her ear, "I'm far from finished with you, my pretty little pond."
Katara figured she should have drank more of that drug as it seemed to be wearing off now.
…
Katara woke in the morning to be held in the arms of the Fire Lord. They were both naked under the sheets and he was still between her legs, buried inside her. She tried not to move as she realized he was up in more than one way. His stiff member was inside her and she felt him move his hips a little, extracting a moan from her as his eyes fluttered open.
"Good, you're awake." He said in a groggy voice.
Katara said nothing as she looked him in the eyes, not able to react to him much as she wanted to hide her face as he moved his hips some more and started thrusting into her. She covered her mouth as she moaned and he smirked at her.
"Morning, Sapphire." He purred and moved to a position above her to continue fucking her as his lips went to kiss her under her jaw and down to her neck.
Unable to muffle her moans much, "Please, I can't-"
"You can. You did." Ozai started sucking on her neck as he took it slow with her.
Katara's eyes rolled to the back of her head as he was so gentle and sensual that her body overheated.
"You feel so good." He purred. "I want to see you again tonight."
This is what she feared.
After they finished, Katara curled up in the sheets as the Fire Lord got dressed and smirked down at her.
"It would have been a waste to have executed you, I see." Ozai told the girl as he tied the sash of his robe. "I enjoyed our time together. Tonight, don't bother wearing anything. It'll just get in the way."
Katara shut her eyes as the Fire Lord turned to leave. As soon as he was gone, Katara saw her maid enter the room with tea and her breakfast. She sat up with her sheets pulled to her breasts, a hint of embarrassment at being seen like this just after the Fire Lord left.
"Would you like to bathe or eat first, Lady Sapphire?"
She wanted to bathe. Katara scrubbed her privates and places the Fire Lord touched her especially hard as she felt she could still feel his touch there. She lathered up as much soap as possible there and ignored the look of her maid that giggled a little at her.
"From what I heard last night and then this morning, I figured you enjoyed yourself." The maid said.
Katara's eyes widened. "You heard?!"
The maid nodded, "Yes, it's my duty to be on standby if anything happens."
Sighing as she shook her head, "I can't believe this is happening to me."
Dressed in a light pink dress with a red yukata thrown over her, Katara had braided her hair into a fishtail and sat at her small dining table. She ate her breakfast and drank the very sweet tea. Her maid informed her that the tea was to prevent pregnancy. She made sure to drink every drop and after finishing her breakfast, Katara tried picking up her tray to take to the door but the maid stopped her.
"My lady, you may be a prisoner of war but you are a lady of the Fire Lord now. Petty work is beneath you."
Katara was a bit confused about the rules as the maid took her tray to return it to the kitchen. As the maid was gone, the waterbender sat and it began dawning on her that she actually had sex with the Fire Lord. Her hand clasped over her lips, Oh my La, and she kissed him. She pulled a pillow and screamed into it. How did this happen to her?
When her maid returned, Katara was informed that Consort Fumi wanted to see her and was dressed according to her status in order to meet with the consort. Wearing her tube top and matching genie pants with her hair up along with the markings of a concubine, Katara was escorted by her maid to the consort.
Arriving in the royal gardens, Katara saw the consort was and dressed even more luxurious than the day before. She wore a bright pink hanfu dress with a golden sash and her hair was decorated with many accessories. Her makeup was unreal and beautiful. Katara felt a little inferior to the woman as she looked like a goddess and behaved as such.
"Consort Fumi." Katara bowed to her superior.
Fumi glanced over to the waterbender, "How'd you like the drug I had my maid offer you? Helped you endure the lust of our lord, did it not?"
Katara nodded.
"Excellent." Fumi remarked as she looked back at the cherry blossoms she was admiring, "You will represent my household well by maintaining a good relationship with him but don't forget, I'm his favorite. As long as you keep this in mind, we will stay on good terms. Understood?"
Katara wanted to tell the woman she had nothing to fear from her. After last night, she wasn't ever sleeping with the Fire Lord again. She knew now that the Fire Lord didn't like the idea of force on a woman, though did like to be pushy in his ways of convincing a woman to sleep with her, and that the drug must have encouraged her to act out of character, giving into her carnal desires. But it wouldn't happen again. She'd tell the Fire Lord to back off and leave her alone. Then again, she needed to maintain a decent relationship with him or it would make Fumi look bad. Damn it, there had to be a way to deal with the Fire Lord without getting herself in trouble with Consort Fumi.
Nodding in response to the consort, "I understand."
"Good." She looked at the water girl. "Tell me, do you dance?"
Katara shook her head.
Looking her up and down, "Well, you should learn to. You have a good build for dancing and I'm sure our lord would appreciate it." Fumi looked away from her, back to her favorite sakura tree. "Go to Lady Xiao, she will give you lessons during the day. Let her know it is my wish that you become a dancer."
Katara bowed as she was dismissed and taken to Lady Xiao, who was an average height woman with jet black hair. She was more of a gentle beauty and held a certain level of grace that didn't intimidate Katara the Lady Fumi's did.
"Lady Xiao." Katara bowed.
"No need to bow to me. We are clearly of the same rank. You must be Lady Sapphire, our lord's newest addition." The concubine addressed Katara in a sweet voice. "What brings you here to my dwelling?"
Katara's maid spoke up, "Consort Fumi would like Lady Sapphire to become a dancer. She believes it would please our lord."
Xiao looked Katara over as she approached her for a closer examination, "You do have the right shape for dancing. Take off your pants. I want to see your legs."
The waterbender looked at the woman strangely. "Take off my p-"
Before she could finish, her maid pulled down Katara's pants to reveal her slender but shapely legs. The waterbender quickly pulled them back up with a red tent on her face as she was super embarrassed.
Lady Xiao pulled out her fan and hid the lower half of her face with it, "No need to be embarrassed, Lady Sapphire. We harem ladies are very comfortable with one another. Nudity is no issue for us as sometimes we bathe together." She snickered at Katara's bashful head nod. "But you have the perfect legs for dancing. Consort Fumi has a great eye for noticing fine details like what someone's role should be. That is why she is our lord's favorite. She even aids him with her opinion on political matters as well as personal ones. You are fortunate to be a member of her household."
Katara didn't know what to say. Honestly, she would rather not be a part of anything related to the harem or being a woman of the Fire Lord. This was not the life she wanted to live.
"I will begin teaching you tomorrow morning. I will have your maid bring you the appropriate attire for a dancer." Lady Xiao told her.
"Thank you, Lady Xiao." Katara replied politely.
Returning to her chambers, Katara sighed as she settled into her sofa and her maid provided her with her lunch for the day. As the maid set her lunch on the low table, she was informed the Fire Lord wanted to have his dinner with her and had invited her to his chambers for the evening. Katara swallowed hard as she didn't know what she was supposed to do and resorted to asking her maid something.
"What if I don't wish to see him?" Katara asked.
The maid looked at her curiously. "Why not? Did you not enjoy your evening with our lord?"
Katara refused to answer that. "I'm a prisoner of war. I rebelled against the Fire Nation and fought for the side of the Avatar. Why would I want to be his concubine to serve him?"
The maid chuckled, "Our lord is a wonderful lover, Lady Sapphire. He is most kind to those of us in the harem and provides us many luxuries. As a prisoner of war, you should be grateful that he is so kind as to allow you an opportunity to be amongst those of us in the harem, let alone one of Consort Fumi's ladies."
Something Katara was starting to notice was that Consort Fumi was a big deal around here. She must truly be the Fire Lord's favorite and if that was so, Katara knew she'd have to maintain good terms with the Fire Lord or she could suffer a worser punishment from Consort Fumi.
When dinner time rolled around, Katara was made to dress in a mere pink robe with cherry blossoms embroidered on it with nothing underneath. The Fire Lord didn't want her wearing anything. He clearly had expectations for the evening but Katara had thought up a way to avoid being underneath him.
Entering his grand chambers, the waterbender was taken aback by how massive his chambers were and the rich decor. The Fire Nation truly was a rich nation, she could not deny it. A hundred years of stealing resources and terrorizing the world really paid off. She was led by his guard to the balcony of his chambers and she was surprised to see a candlelit dinner. She never once took the Fire Lord for a romantic but from what her maid said about the man, she figured this was how he managed to woo his other concubines and consorts. If he thought things like this would win her over, he was sadly mistaken. She wasn't letting him have her again.
"My lord." Katara bowed as she saw him leaning against the railing of the terrace.
Turning around, "My little pond." The Fire Lord started making his way towards her and made a move to kiss her.
Katara quickly turned her head.
Chuckling, "Come now, don't be that way. We had a wonderful evening and even enjoyed this morning together. Don't start growing cold on me when you were so very warm with me already."
Katara cut her eyes at the Fire Lord, "I had taken a drug. I wasn't myself, my lord."
Ozai grinned, "Would you like to take more of that drug?"
"No." She replied.
"You're not going to sleep with me this evening, are you?"
"Absolutely not." Katara told him. "Don't even think about trying to coax me into it. I'm really not interested."
Ozai sighed, "Fine. We'll actually talk this time. Gives us a chance to become more acquainted for the future."
An hour later, Katara was on her back with her breasts bouncing up and down as the Fire Lord was on top of her, holding her thigh up to his side as he thrusted deep into her. She threw her head back and cried out as she latched onto his hair, clawing his back.
"Yes, my lord! Yes!" She cried as he fucked her even harder than the night before.
The conversation lasted about two minutes as the Fire Lord had asked her what kinds of positions she did with his son and in order to shut him up, she threw herself at him. He wasted no time getting her to his bed and taking her right then and there. She hated resorting to this but talking about her previous sexual relationship with his son was off the table. Now, he had a card to pull every time she refused him. Fuck, she was so screwed and not even just in the bad way either.
Feeling the waterbender claw his back, Ozai kissed her neck and sucked on it. He was really smitten with this girl. Even after only two days of knowing her. They really needed to get to know each other better. Fucking her like this was satisfying but it wasn't enough for him. He wanted to be on more friendly terms with his pretty little pond. He'll need to organize a time to see her that would tempt either of them to get physical.
When they both reach completion, Katara saw the Fire Lord climb out of bed and go to the balcony. She sat up and watched him return with a fruit from the table that still had their dinner on it, getting cold from them being preoccupied for the last hour and a half.
"Hungry?" He bit out of the fruit and walked over to her in all his nudity.
Katara nodded her head as he bit out of the fruit and came to sit beside her, offering her the fruit. She glanced at him and then to the fruit he held out to her. It was on the side he bit, so she took it and turned it to another side to bite.
The two went to the balcony in robes to enjoy their dinner after working up an appetite. Ozai noticed that for a foreigner, Katara took well to the spicy cuisines of his nation. He half expected her to spit the food out. He also noticed that she had impeccable table manners and ate plenty. His lips curled into a smirk.
"Tell me about yourself, Lady Sapphire."
"What good would that do, my lord?" She said in a bit of a snarky tone. "I'm yours already and you can do as you like with me."
Ozai rested his chin in his hand as he looked to her, "I'm taken with you. I think getting to know you would be good. You should be honored. I have many concubines whom's names I don't even know. I'm giving you the privilege to gain my favor and be amongst my favorites."
It was hard remembering that this man was a murderer that killed Aang or the tyrant that ordered devastation to the world. He was so unlike what she had pictured and she didn't know if that was a good thing. All she knew was that he was unexpectedly interested in her and surprisingly, on more than a sexual level. It worried her. Why was he trying to get so close to her? What was there for him to gain?
"You seem skeptical." Ozai studied her expression. "Very well, I'll give you time and space. Maybe you will long for my presence in due time and request to see me."
She was soooo not doing that.
"Starting tomorrow, I will not see you, however, I expect you to follow the rules and obey Fumi. She knows best and will teach you much. Be willing to learn."
Katara nodded.
Smirking, "Now, since I won't be seeing you for a while."
In the morning, Katara woke to the Fire Lord holding her to his chest again and she oddly didn't feel like pulling away. Well, that was until she heard his servants enter and noticed she recognized one of the servants. Her eyes widened as she threw the Fire Lord's arm off of her.
"Sokka?!" Katara's eyes were trained on her brother as she saw him pause and stare wide-eyed at her.
Katara realized he was seeing her in the Fire Lord's bed, dressed in only his red sheets, with the obvious scent of sex in the air. She saw he was about to open his mouth to say something when she felt stirring in the bed and saw the Fire Lord was waking up.
"Hmm, you're already up?" Ozai asked in a tired voice as he sat up, also naked under the sheets. He rubbed his eyes and looked from Katara then to the blue eyed servant that he saw was gaping at the sight of him. He smirked. "Oh, you've gotten to see your friend. Wonderful."
Katara looked from Sokka back to the Fire Lord. "Why's he dressed as a…a eunuch?" She asked in a cautious voice.
Ozai smirked, "Because, he is one."
A hand fell over her mouth as she fell to her knees from the edge of the bed and looked horrified at her brother. "No!"
Sokka dropped his gaze from her and looked away.
Getting out of bed, the Fire Lord went over to help her up and she shoved him from her.
"You bastard!"
"Bastard?" Ozai was more caught off guard than he was offended.
"You monster!" Katara stood to her feet and was about to slap him when he grabbed her cuffed wrist, shoving her down in the bed as he chuckled.
"What? Is he your boyfriend or something?"
"My brother! You fucking tyrant!" Katara's image of him being a monster was renewed at this moment. She could only stare at him viciously as he pinned her to the bed.
"Your brother, huh?" Ozai smirked and looked over to where his newest eunuch was before returning his gaze to Katara. "How about this, little pond." He grabbed her jaw as a sadistic look washed over his expression. "I'll treat him well but only if you allow me to test a theory."
"What are you talking about?!" Katara squirmed underneath him as he had her pinned to the bed.
A malevolent look washed over his features, "I wonder, do eunuchs still get aroused even if they have no cocks?"
Katara's eyes widened.
….
Crying during her bathing in her chambers, Katara held herself tight and shook. She couldn't believe it. That man truly was a monster. She let her guard down too easily and he showed his true colors. Right in front of her brother, he molested her to see if his theory was correct. But he could come to no conclusion as Sokka snapped and tried to attack him. She watched the Fire Lord kick her brother to the ground and stomp him, he then looked at her to remind her she was spared solely because of his own interests. Things could turn out for the worse if she didn't cooperate. She returned to her chambers where she burst into tears, mortified at the life she was now expected to live and worried greatly about the rest of her friends.
"Lady Sapphire, don't cry. Our lord meant no harm, he-"
"He's a sick twisted bastard! I hate him!" Katara screamed.
Just as her maid was about to open her mouth to warn the waterbender to mind her words, her chamber doors opened and in came Consort Fumi. The woman walked up to a naked and wet Katara and slapped her dead across her face.
"You will not speak of our lord in that manner!" Fumi hissed at Katara. "You are most fortunate of all your friends and yet you scorn him?!"
Katara held her cheek and glared down at the floor, "My brother…he's a eunuch."
"And he could have suffered a far worse fate but our lord spared him death." Fumi pointed out. "At least with him being a eunuch, your brother can serve here in the harem. Perhaps, our lord will allow him to serve directly under you. Who knows what our lord thinks in his hours away from us? It is our jobs to consider that he will do what is in the best interests of the nation, himself, and then lastly us. Make no mistake, Lady Sapphire, your own fate could be much worse. If not by him, then by me. Never let me hear you speak of him that way again."
Katara reluctantly nodded as she shut her eyes tight.
Fumi looked to the maid that served the waterbender, "Inform me if she has any more words for our lord. I will have her tongue scorched and branded with the characters of his name."
The maid nodded and waited for the consort to leave. When gone, the maid sighed and reminded Katara she had dance lessons with Lady Xiao. She prepared her lady for her day of training in the outfit that Lady Xiao wanted her to wear, which was a dress meant for dancing. It was red and white with a gold sash. Katara was made to wear her hair half down and half up in a topknot. A simple hairpin was placed in the topknot as she had light makeup applied to her face. When she looked the part, Katara followed her maid out of her chambers to be escorted to Lady Xiao.
On her way there, Katara noticed many of the other concubines of Fumi's household were out and about. Some of them were chattering, giggling in the courtyard over a card game, and spending their time enjoying each other's company. She didn't expect so many of the women to be so content in the harem as she had heard many stories of the kind of person the Fire Lord was and even recently experienced some of his cruelty. How could they find happiness knowing they were the women of a cursed man?
Arriving at Lady Xiao dance studio that was attached to her chambers within Consort Fumi's domain, Katara saw four other women present and they were all dressed exactly like her but with different hairstyles. She bashfully pulled a strand of hair behind her ear as she noticed how beautiful the other women were.
"Lady Sapphire, I'm glad to see you could make it." Lady Xiao said as she approached the waterbender and took her arm in her hand to pull her along to a spot she wanted her to take. "I heard you spent the night with our lord last night. I feared you'd need rest."
Katara shook her head. Last thing she wanted to do was sit in her room thinking to herself about all that was going on. She needed to get up and do something. Anything to distract herself. Dance seemed like a perfect distraction.
"Ladies, let's show Lady Sapphire some of the dances we've been working on, shall we?" Lady Xiao said.
The waterbender stood back and watched the women all dance gracefully across the studio floor. She thought they moved much like water and to the music that the musicians played, Katara swayed her hips a little as it looked rather enjoyable. They all looked to be having fun and Katara couldn't wait to join them.
Lady Xiao grinned as she saw Lady Sapphire liked the performance and figured she'd be a quick learner.
After Katara was shown the dances, Lady Xiao called her to the floor with her and showed the beginning moves to one of the dances they did. Katara mimicked it and managed to pick up the first few moves quickly. Lady Xiao and the other concubines were amazed at how quick she managed to get the moves and do so with the same grace as them. The concubine practiced their dancing from sun up to sun down. When they finished for the day, Lady Xiao looked to Katara and smiled at her.
"You learn fast."
"No," Katara said as she bashfully shook her head. "The moves just reminded me of water and since I'm a waterbender, it wasn't so difficult picking it up. I'm sure there will be other dances that I will be stuck on."
"I doubt that." Lady Xiao said. "But we'll find out tomorrow. I have more dances I want you to learn. We have a garden party coming up in the fall and we dancers, we always perform for the Fire Lord and his men."
Katara felt a little wary of that fact but she told herself she would do it nonetheless. Dancing today made her feel so much better versus how she was feeling earlier and to make matters better, the Fire Lord told her he would not be visiting her tonight. It made her feel relieved as she didn't have to endure the humiliation that came with being underneath her enemy.
Returning with her maid back to her side of the domain, Katara noticed the Fire Lord was present and had Fumi on his arm. She kept her head down to avoid him but she was spotted, of course.
"Lady Sapphire." Fumi greeted her.
Katara was forced to turn around and acknowledge the woman. She bowed to them both. "My lord. Consort Fumi."
"I informed our lord that you had ill things to say of him this morning. He says all is forgiven." Fumi told her. "Isn't he most gracious?"
Katara swallowed her pride and nodded. "He is very gracious."
Smirking at her clear desire to refute that notion, the Fire Lord stroked his beard and looked to Fumi. "How about we have Lady Sapphire accompany us for the night? I'm sure you have much to teach her."
Fumi nodded her head, "Come, Lady Sapphire, learn a thing or two."
Katara wanted to rip her hair out. She was just about to head to her chambers to rest for the evening and now she was being summoned to watch whatever it was these two were planning to do. She didn't have to think too hard about what she was about to witness.
Fumi's chambers were even more lavish than the Fire Lord's, a testament to his doting on her. Katara was led to her bedroom that was separate from the rest of her chambers and told the waterbender to entertain the Fire Lord while she was prepared for the evening. When the consort left, Katara sat at the low table where the Fire Lord was and sat with her hands in her lap. She ignored the fact that the man was staring at her with a grin, he clearly wanted to toy with her this evening.
"I'm sorry about your brother. If I had known before, I would have spared him that fate." Ozai tried apologizing.
Katara refused to look at him, "We're prisoners of war. We don't matter. Save your apologies, my lord."
Ozai smirked at the defiance in her voice. "You really don't like me, do you?"
"It isn't my place to say." Katara replied.
"Fine. I'll get you to warm up to me. Clearly, you're not going to do so on your own." Ozai remarked as he looked her over. "You look beautiful in that outfit. Maybe I should see about you having nicer clothes. It would suit a daughter of a chieftain, a princess. Let me dote on you, little pond."
Katara looked up at him, "No need, my lord."
Ozai moved over to her, sitting right up on her, he grabbed her by her waist and pulled her into his lap. She settled there as she didn't want to gain the wrath of Fumi by refusing him. His lips pressed to the back of her neck as his hands ran up to her breasts, cupping them as he squeezed them gently.
"I want you to be my favorite too, Katara." He whispered against her skin. "Be a good girl tonight and I'll reward you."
Katara cringed against his touch, "I don't care about a reward." She hissed as she could barely endure him touching her after this morning.
Holding one breast, Ozai slipped his other hand down into her lap and found her sex to rub. She squirmed against him so he held her tighter against him, shushing her as he continued rubbing her. She tried not to moan as he rubbed her with more force but it was futile. Her body responded on its own and she moaned louder as he was getting her to cum.
"There you go, good girl." He hugged her more and kissed her neck.
Fumi came out and smirked as she saw her lord was already playing with Lady Sapphire. She really liked how playful he could be. She loved it. Loved him. Even if she had to share him with others. She was his favorite and that was all that mattered, so she didn't fear for the waterbender. She might be fun for now but he would move on as he always did. No one but her remained his favorite for long.
"I see you're readying her for the evening, my lord. Do you think she will play well?" Fumi asked.
Ozai looked up at his consort and saw her dressed in her lingerie, "I think it would be better if she watched. Show her what it is like to serve me properly."
Consort Fumi was very sensual and affectionate, Katara could see. She could tell how she kissed the Fire Lord and made love to him that she had real feelings for him. It bothered her that she couldn't look away but Katara felt she was being reeled in by the performance right in front of her. There was a lot she didn't realize went on during sex and that she was literally having the most basic form of it because Fumi was showing her that there was so much more two people could do to engage in a sexual escapade. Only thing that really bothered her was that the Fire Lord had his eyes glued to her the entire time he was with Fumi. She hoped Fumi didn't notice but little did she know, Fumi had.
When the two reached completion, Katara was ordered to grab the robes of both the Fire Lord and Consort Fumi. Once they were covered, a servant entered with food and set it on the low table in Fumi's dining area. The three sat and ate, Katara noticed Fire Lord staring at her.
"What did you learn?" He asked her.
Katara sat her chopsticks down and looked to Fumi that urged her to answer, "I-I learned plenty." She said awkwardly.
Smirking, "Anything you'd like to try learning for yourself?"
The waterbender swallowed hard, "My lord, I thought we'd work on better knowing each other."
"We can do both." Ozai told her. "Besides, I was telling Fumi earlier that I want to move you into a different suite. One that I'm sure you'd like and as I said earlier, I think you should wear more fitting clothes like the one you are wearing. You are a princess after all."
Fumi looked from the Fire Lord to Katara in surprise at this detail.
"You don't have to, my lord." Katara bashfully looked down at the floor. "And my nation is in ruins, I'm a princess of nothing."
"That could change." Ozai rested his chin in his hand. "If you were a little more 'kinder', I could see about provisions being made to rebuild your nation to its former glory."
Katara's eyes widened at this as did Fumi's. They were both taken aback and confused by his words.
Ozai tilted his head, "Tell me, my little pond, would you like that?"
Katara didn't know what to say so she nodded her head.
Scooting closer to her, Ozai grabbed the waterbender by her jaw and looked her pretty little face over. "Then I expect you to be kinder, you pretty little waterbender." He purred at her.
Fumi watched as the Fire Lord kissed Lady Sapphire and for the first time since her arrival to the palace as a concubine, she felt jealousy. Why was that? She had seen the Fire Lord with many women and never even batted an eye. Why did this water savage suddenly stir jealousy in her heart? Would this mere girl be someone the Fire Lord would fawn over just as he did with her? Or was she reading too much? That's it. She was making too big a deal out of it. It was clear the Fire Lord had a new temporary favorite. She shouldn't be threatened. In a month's time, Lady Sapphire would be shoved aside.
…
One Month Later….
"Lady Sapphire, you dance so beautifully." Lady Xiao marveled as Katara finished performing a traditional fan dance that they only just taught her last week.
The other dancing concubines applauded the waterbender as she danced with grace and elegance they had never seen before.
Katara bowed at their clapping and when she lifted her head, she saw there was another audience member. Fumi.
For the month she had been a concubine, a lot went on. So much that she couldn't really keep track of it all. After that night with Fumi and the Fire Lord, Katara was given new chambers and a whole new wardrobe. She managed to convince the Fire Lord to visit her during the day to discourage him from trying to sleep with her and so far, she hadn't been in his bed or him in her bed since her first week here. Now, he just visited her with gifts; the most he'd do was kiss her and feel on her as she would sit in his lap. She still didn't like him. Not at all but she didn't fear him or worry as much when he was near. His company didn't bother her as much.
As for her life in the harem it was nice, she would admit. Most of everyone just took to their hobbies, hung out, and perfected their craft in different arts they preferred. She managed to make two new friends Lady Jade from a noble family that lived in the Earth Kingdom colonies and Lady Himiko, the daughter of a prominent family from the eastern province of the Fire Nation. They were both dancers like her and admired her for her dancing and beauty. Katara never really thought much of her looks but she was told that her beauty was most natural and didn't require a lot of makeup if any. Even so, Katara did enjoy putting some makeup on in order to better blend in with the trends of the harem. Wearing the beautiful blue dancing dress with long pink sleeves and a gold sash around her waist, Katara's hair hung freely down with some tied up in the back to hold her ornaments. I was the newest of the dresses she had and she was told to wear a gold sash was to have the favor of the Fire Lord. She was his new favorite.
With her performance finished and seeing Consort Fumi clap for her, Katara bowed to the woman as everyone else followed her lead as the consort made her way to her. Lifting her head, Katara noticed Fumi looking at her sash and giving her a weak smile.
"I see you have gained his majesty's favor even with him having spent the better half of a month with other concubines. He must enjoy you outside of his carnal desires. Lucky girl." Fumi said in a very insincere voice. "But having our lord comforted by the ladies of my household is a must and he's been in the other consorts' domains instead. If you are truly his favorite, you will turn his attention back to my domain. Understand?"
Katara nodded sheepishly.
"Excellent. When you see him for lunch, invite him for dinner." Fumi ordered.
When she left, Lady Jade and Lady Himiko hurried to her with grins on their faces.
"A night of passion with our lord, how I'd kill to be in his arms again. Would you please let me accompany you?" Lady Jade asked.
Himiko giggled, "Me too! It's always funny when there are multiple concubines to please our lord. He always seems to have an insatiable appetite."
Katara suddenly came up with an idea.
Meeting with the Fire Lord in the palace library, Katara fanned herself and looked around to find the tall tyrant. She looked around for him and couldn't seem to find him. It wasn't until she noticed his shadow that she realized he was following her from behind.
"For the new ruler of the world, you sure are playful, my lord." Katara said as she turned around and looked the Fire Lord in the eyes.
Towering over her as he smirked, "I'm always playful with my women. What? Should I treat you like I do my generals?"
Katara shook her head as he reached to caress her face.
His thumb running over her lips, "I want to hear more about your adventures, little pond."
Katara took his hand from her face and pulled him along with her to the bench to tell him more about her travels. One thing that they discussed was her travels. He wanted to hear about what life was like beyond the Fire Nation, where he had never been. He told her the only place he ever went was when he was using Sozin's comet on Ba Seng Sei. This prompted her to believe that this man didn't even know the enemy he was fighting, only continued a cycle of war that his family had started. She called him a fool and ignorant, things he had never been called before. However, he didn't punish her, told her to prove it and she did, by telling him of the world beyond the Fire Nation.
Every time they met, he wanted to hear more and more, even asked questions like an intrigued little boy. The two of them would sit in the lounge chair with the large Fire Lord curled in her lap where he rested his head. She'd place in his hair and tell him stories of her adventures, even parts that included his son. She wanted to paint the picture of her life, prove to him that he was foolish and ignorant to continue a war on people he didn't know the first thing about.
Today was no different, he curled in her lap and she raked her nails through his scalp, telling him about the time she stayed in the North Pole. She told him about the beauty of that nation and the people. Told him about the princess that gave her life for their people. How somber everyone was after the Northern Princess died and how she knew as the Southern Princess, she needed to be just as brave in order to help bring peace.
Shifting on his back a little, the Fire Lord looked up at her, "What should I have done differently? I'm the Fire Lord and I have a responsibility to my people."
"A responsibility to destroy the beauty of the world? Is the Fire Nation so barbaric?" Katara asked him.
Sitting up, Ozai eyed her funny. "You're still just a girl, what would you know?"
"More than you, my lord. Between the two of us, only I know what's out there and to be honest, I don't hate your people. Some of them suffer too and even as their lord, you overlook their cries."
"Nonsense!" Ozai spat.
Katara shook her head, "If I could, I'd take you to some of the villages here, show you what I saw here. It didn't look that much different than what I saw elsewhere."
Scoffing, "Then when I have the time, we'll take a trip and you'll need to show me this. If you're wrong, I'll punish you. If I'm wrong, you'll be rewarded."
Katara was confident that he would see the suffering of his own people and know she did not lie. "Very well, my lord, I accept these terms."
Sucking his teeth, Ozai didn't know why he let this girl speak so freely, sometimes she was downright disrespectful but he could tell there was no lie in his words. It was for this reason, he allowed her to say whatever she liked as he wanted to have someone be more honest with him and she was unapologetic. He appreciated it even though it stung at times.
Deciding she should try to remain in his good grace, "My lord, I want to ask you something?"
Lifting his brow, "What is it?"
Grabbing onto his arm, "Me and a few of the ladies I've befriended are planning to drink some sake Consort Fumi gifted us. Would you like to join us this evening?"
Ozai raised a brow at the waterbender. She never invited him anywhere for the evening. It caused him to smirk at her and cup her face, "I'll see if I'm not too busy with other work but pour me a glass anyway."
Katara nodded.
Capturing her lips, the Fire Lord was pleased that she returned the kiss with the same energy as him. He'd take her right now if it wasn't the middle of the day and he had other duties to oversee. He pulled apart from her and looked her over as he caressed her face.
"I've been longing for you, little pond." He grabbed her hand and placed it on the bulge that was forming under his robes.
Katara wanted to yank her hand away from him but composed herself. She feared he would have her right now, she had heard of him losing control before and having a concubine that was accompanying him during the day in public areas of the palace. She didn't want to be degraded in such a way and she didn't really want him trying to sleep with her either. That's why her friends would be present, to curve the Fire Lord's attention from her while still obeying Fumi's orders to get the Fire Lord to visit.
The Fire Lord kissed her again and she made sure to return his affection with the same effort as him. However, she felt him take her hand and slip it into his robes, down his pants to his erected member. He pulled it out and had her hand stroke it as he kissed her even harder. She felt the precum oozing from the tip of his penis causing her to cause her eyes shut at how warm it was.
Breaking the kiss as she felt him try to push her on her back, "No, my lord. We're in the library." She reminded him.
"I don't care." He growled as he pushed her down on her back and started lifting up her dress. Katara tried to stop him but he grabbed her wrists, pushing them above her head, holding them with one hand as he used the other to push her dress up. "I can't wait for tonight, I need you now."
"But my lord-"
"My lord."
The two looked up upon hearing that voice. They saw Fumi approach them and the Fire Lord didn't even try hiding the fact he was about to take her.
"What is it?" He asked with a hint of annoyance at being interrupted.
Fumi looked from the Fire Lord to Katara, "The ministers are all looking for you. They've asked me to help them find you."
"What the hell do they want?" He hissed.
Sighing, "They won't tell me, only that it is very important and needs your attention."
Ozai scoffed as he looked down at the waterbender, "We'll finish this tonight."
Katara swallowed so hard it was visible and the Fire Lord smirked. He kissed her one last time and climbed off of her, standing to his feet to readjust himself as he length was hanging over his pants under his robes. Fumi looked at Katara and walked over to offer her a hand to get up. When the Fire Lord was gone, Fumi slapped Katara and narrowed her eyes at her.
"Never let our lord have you at these hours!" She hissed. "It's disrespectful and distasteful! You are a lady of my household, I will not allow you to stain the good name of my house."
Katara tried explaining what happened but Fumi didn't want to hear it. It didn't matter that the Fire Lord got turned on out of the blue and was about to take her. It didn't matter that she was not willing to allow him. All that mattered was that she was supposed to stop him at all cost. Women that served under the Fire Lord and engaged in sexual relations with him during the day were doing tricks to gain favor. She was already a favorite and to do tricks during the day was flat out dishonorable. Fumi wasn't the favorite just because she was willing to serve the Fire Lord but because she had his respect and that was what Katara needed to have, his respect. She could not allow him to disrespect her in this way. Once it happened, there was no stopping him from doing it again.
"I don't mean to be cruel, Lady Sapphire, but as a member of my household, you must understand these things. You want his respect more than his affection. His affection can be for any woman or whore in the harem but his respect, very few of us have it."
Katara nodded. She agreed with the consort but she did make it known to her that favor with the Fire Lord was not something she had to have. She was content otherwise.
"I know that already. You were once the enemy. I don't expect you to like him but your duty now is to serve him and do it well. I don't care that you may hate him. He is our lord now." Fumi told her.
Bowing her head, "Yes, Consort Fumi."
"Now come, we need to prepare you to see him later."
Katara was dressed in her lingerie with her hair down along with her two friends that she planned to pawn off on the Fire Lord. She wouldn't do this if they hadn't expressed wanting to spend the night with him and they both seemed equally excited. They had gotten dressed with their maids and came to Katara's chambers. They were much nicer than her previous chambers and she had a bath built into the floor of her sitting room that looked like a small pool. Katara had allowed Himiko to light candles using her bending while Jade had her maid to fetch snacks to pair well with the sake they'd be enjoying.
"You sure, Lady Sapphire?" Himiko asked Katara as the two of them had their feet dipped in the warm bath they ran with bubbles.
Katara looked down at her feet lightly splashing in the water, "His majesty may find me to his liking but I could do without his affections. I just need you guys to entertain him for me. That way I have successfully brought him back to this domain without having to force myself to tolerate his affections."
Jade giggled, "Doesn't matter much to me. I just want to enjoy our lord to the fullest."
"And enjoy me, you shall." The three turned to see the Fire Lord was present.
All of them stood up to go greet him, Himiko and Jade throwing themselves at him as Katara stood close by seeing the Fire Lord's gold eyes rest on her. She averted her eyes and turned to gather a cup of sake for him, Katara returned to offer it to him as the two consorts continued to cling to him.
"I'm told you have no appointments tomorrow, my lord. Drink till your heart's content." Katara said as she held it out to him.
Smirking, Ozai took the cup and drank the sake in one shot. His gold eyes returned to his beautiful little pond and he smirked, handing her the cup back. "Pour me more. I intend for this to be a long night."
The night was long indeed and much happened. For one, Katara danced the fan dance for the Fire Lord as Himiko served his sake and Jade performed oral sex on him. The three women made the Fire Lord's night very pleasurable. Himiko and Jade took turns with the Fire Lord, both doing whatever they could to make their lord happy. Katara fiend being drunk and sick from drinking in order to sit this one out while her friends pleasured the Fire Lord. When their lord was spent for the night, he climbed out of the bed, drunk and still erected, making his way to where Katara curled herself up against a pile of pillows. He came down upon her and kissed her shoulder.
"Little pond, I want you." Ozai ran his tongue alot her arm to her shoulder and then her neck.
Flinching from the contact, "My lord, I do not feel well."
"Nonsense." He grabbed her and rolled her onto her stomach, pulling apart her lingerie to get access to her sex. "I've wanted you all night." He said drunkenly. "Not those mediocre harlots."
Katara tried wiggling away but he grabbed her hips and pulled her back to him.
Jade and Himiko watched as Lady Sapphire put up a fight against the Fire Lord and was slapped hard across the face as he yelled at her. She growled and snapped her teeth at him which made him laugh. They soon saw her on her back as he finally entered her, pinning her to the floor and fucked her hard. It was rough and they watched their friend get strangled as the Fire Lord did as he pleased with her. She screamed the entire time and when he pulled out after finishing in her, they saw blood. The Fire Lord then passed out on top of her and they could do nothing as Lady Sapphire laid underneath him, crying to herself as she asked her gods why.
In the morning, Ozai woke up and realized he was on the floor and underneath him was his little pond with a bruise to her face and throat. He quickly got off of her and looked down at her, seeing she was still breathing.
"Little pond." He nudged her to wake.
As she stirred, he watched her eyes crack open and shut before suddenly widening at the sight of him. She sat up and shook her head as she looked like she was going to cry again. "No, please, don't!"
It dawned on him that he must have lost control after drinking so much. He must have harmed her.
"K- Lady Sapphire, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"Just leave me alone, please, my lord." She sobbed. "Just leave me alone."
Ozai looked from her to the two concubines that woke up from her bed and looked at him warily with covers pulled to their breasts. What did he do? He quickly got up and went over to his clothes by the bed, seeing his other concubine flinch at him. He hated seeing that look of fear. His women looking at him like he would do something to them. It bothered him. He glanced back at the waterbender and saw her sobbing as she curled up into a floor pillow.
Looking back to the other concubine, "Comfort her. I'll send a physician."
The two hurried to get out of bed and go to their fellow concubine and he watched them try to comfort her. He'd ask them later what took place and send the waterbender something to console her.
…
Fumi was informed of the situation by Himiko and Jade after the physician came to see Lady Sapphire. She was curious why the royal physician would be in her domain the morning after the Fire Lord had been present and worried something must have happened to one of the concubines. She was so furious. Sapphire should not have fought the Fire Lord last night. She brought it on herself that he was rough with her.
Himiko and Jade were scolded for not aiding in relaxing Lady Sapphire when the Fire Lord went to take her. They were as much to blame. When the physician left, bandaging up the waterbender and giving a cream to prevent scarring to her cheek, Fumi entered to scold Lady Sapphire.
"You have dishonored my household! Fighting the Fire Lord when he wishes to make use of you! It is unthinkable!" Fumi scowled at Katara as she laid in bed unwell from her previous night. "Dishonor me again and I will see to it that you're thrown out from this domain!"
Ozai was in his office trying to focus on his work when all he could think about was his little pond. He never intended to hurt her but the damage was done. He had to think of a way to make her feel better and fix this bad event that's taken place between them. It had been a week and he hadn't gone to see any of his concubines. He couldn't think of any of them while he was focused on this one concubine that he found himself falling for.
"Damn it!" He hissed.
"Is there something wrong, my lord?" The Fire Lord's main servant, Yotori asked.
"Lady Sapphire, I wronged her and I don't know how to make it up to her."
"But she is just a prisoner of war."
"She's a concubine now. Her past matters little to me. Help me decide what to get her in order to comfort her."
Yotori sighed, "Then why not a pet, my lord?"
Ozai thought this over, "that sounds perfect and I'll assign her a eunuch that I'm sure she will be happy to have at her side."
Katara was dancing with the others when they all paused and bowed, she quickly got on her knees and bowed too.
"My lord, what brings you here this afternoon?" Lady Xiao asked, glancing with worry at the tiger-dillo that he had on a metal leash.
The Fire Lord looked away at the woman and looked to Katara, who refused to look his way. "Lady Sapphire, I've brought you a gift."
"You needn't bother, my lord. I am alright without more luxuries."
Walking over to her as the other women parted ways, the Fire Lord stood in front of her and took her hand. She shook at the physical contact but he ignored it as he placed the metal leash in her hand. Katara soon noticed there was a large beast making his way towards her and her eyes widened in fear.
"He's trained and won't harm you. I spent the last days getting him acquainted with your scent so he will know who you are." Ozai informed her. "He's quite fluffy and likes to be doted on, so please do so to comfort him as he will comfort you back."
Katara looked from the beast to the Fire Lord and took the leash from him.
"Can I see you tomorrow afternoon? I want you to accompany me to one of those villages you told me about." Ozai looked at her with a hopeful stare.
Katara saw the other concubines giving her the look to agree and so she reluctantly did so. When the Fire Lord kissed her cheek and left, the others all giggled at her. This made her feel embarrassed as everyone was watching them.
Returning to her chambers, Katara settled her pet and named him Kohaku. Petting the tiger-dillo, the waterbender sighed to herself as she worried that the Fire Lord was all too concerned with pleasing her. She prayed it was just mere infatuation and nothing more. Oh, Tui and La, she couldn't deal with it if it was more.
