    Default [M] You're Lion to Me! || [Holey x Lleona]

    It's been some time since she was told that she was to be wedded to the Empyrean Emperor Friedrich I. She was nervous, cause even if she went through rigorous training about social etiquette of the Empyrean Kingdom it was still not her style, so she thought she was bound to make some mistakes.
    Today she was summoned by her father in the courtroom earlier. She was bestowed some gold and good quality linen's, jewelries and artifact to arrive with her at Imperial city as her betrothal gift after that she was attended by her attendants and was pampered thoroughly so she can appear glamorous in front of the emperor.

    She was dressed in high quality white dress with a touch of gold, her hair more shinier and soft than ever and her face dabbed by a light layer of cosmetics. After than she was then escorted to an Imperial ship which will transfer her to the city. When she board on the ship she still felt fine, but when the ship took off a little bit of fear sprouted inside of her. As a lion the land was her domain, so she never thought of going in to the skies. To hide her weakness she asked to be showned to her room, where she can rest.

    After a few hours of fast travel the ship finally arrived at the city. She then disembarked and rode a carriage heading towards the castle. When she arrived she was immediately sent to the throne room to meet his highness the emperor. Upon arriving upon the big doors of the throne room, the guard stopped her and called for the announcer. The announcer immediately heeded. He cleared his throat and gave Lleona a glance then looked down. It was a sin to covet the emperor's soon to be wife. Even a speck of thought about her is not allowed, it's to bad that only the emperor is allowed to appreciate this wild beauty is what he thought before going back to the things he must do.

    "Your Highness Princess Lleona Kaiser Des Landes has arrived."

    The announcer loudly spoke, which echoed inside the whole throne room and cut the gossip that was happening inside. Lleona was urged to walk forward which she did. She walked towards the center radiating confidence and gracefulness that a royalty not being shakened by the stair and gazes of the emperors officials and nobles. When she arrived at the center, she gave the person sitting on the throne a fleeting glance.

    "Lleona Kaiser Des Landes of the Lion Municipality greets the emperor, may your highness reign and prosper for thousands year to come."

    She smoothly greeted curtsying gracefully, her voice moderately loud but it was pleasing and seductive to the ears.

    Emperor Friedrich I, ruler of the massive Empire that dominated the continent of Empyrean and arguably the most powerful man in the world (though in a land of ancient dragons and deities, such arguments should be taken with a grain of salt) sat on his throne looking bored. Ever since the word spread that Imperial law allowed for the Emperor to marry more than one wife to allow for more strategic marriages of political importance, every two bit nobleman began sending his daughter, one at a time, to stand before the Emperor in their finest garments. Unfortunately, most of these noble daughters were human, and humans were incredibly boring. And so, during the allotted time when he was required to meet with marriage prospects, Friedrich could only address each girl with politeness, without giving any solid commitment.

    It was during such a session that a certain princess from the Lion Municipality approached him. Gazing at the lioness as she approached, the Emperor gave her an inquisitive glance as she made her way to the center. Indeed, she was admittedly far more attractive than any of the human girls who had approached him earlier in the day, though he recalled an elf or two who could give her a run for her money. From what he knew of the Lion Municipality, though, they operated by a completely different set of rules and customs than did the kingdoms of men... still embracing ancient traditions, such as challenging the king for the right to the throne. If nothing else, at least this girl wasn't human.

    As she finally introduced herself with a graceful curtsy, he paused for a moment, then gave a slight chuckle. "You're new to this, aren't you?" he asked the girl who had introduced herself as Lleona. "It's fine... we all make mistakes when suddenly thrown into a foreign culture. Highness if the honorific for a prince or princess, such as yourself. Kings you call 'Majesty' and Emperor you call 'Royal and Imperial Majesty'. Kings rule kingdoms, and Emperors rule empires. Anyway, what brings you here, Lleona Kaiser Des Landes?"

    Though the lioness was older than most of the princesses that had approached him recently, the Emperor figured it was mostly due to a difference in marriage age between the lion tribes and the human kingdoms. Typically, human girls of noble families were married off as soon as they were of childbearing age, in order to immediately begin producing heirs. He resolved not to hold such trivial matters against her, however, as age held very little meaning to a man who did not age. Her beauty, after all, was undeniable... though she had yet to prove herself to his own admittedly overprotective bodyguards.

    Damn!. Tons of curses spread through out Lleona's mind. To hell with those damn curtsies why do human needs to be complicated. And to hell with this damn emperor, humiliating her in front of these people. When the emperor acknowledge her presence she stopped her curtsy and stand straight. Even of she was humiliated her confidence was not shakened but her smile became a little bit strained and some annoyance flashed for a second in her eyes but she immediately covered it.

    "Lleona gave her thanks to the royal and imperial majesty for his understanding."

    She bowed her head lightly in gratitude then once again glanced at the emperor.

    "To be frank your royal and imperial majesty, my father sent me here with hopes that your and empire and my municipality will build a partnership through the union of marriage. With you royal and imperial majesty's wisdom, this humble one is sure that my intention was already found out."

    She replied with a level head tone. She really want to make an issue so the emperor will think about twice in accepting her. But as person from the lion municipality she can't harm her country for her selfishness. She chose the next best course of action, trying to have the emperor dislike her so he will send her home. If this fail to go through her father won't blame her after all it was the emperor who chose to let her go back, if that happens she will be happy and will leave her life with carefree like before. It's not even an hour yet but the atmosphere felt really strict and suffocating only a person not in her right mind and blind for power would have a good time living here. Unfortunately that person is not her.

    She doesn't wanna live in this place, she doesn't wanna be the queen of this. Especially the emperor is even older than her grandfather! even if he looks young. Maybe when she gets back she'll find a lion to settle down with, it's fine even if he's weaker than her at least she won't be caught in a mess like this in the future. Lleona was convinced that she will surely sent back, the emperor doesn't lack beauties of course, and the only edge she have on others is her wildness and it's not even a good thing.

    The momentary annoyance on the princess' expression wasn't lost on him, but the Emperor simply shrugged it off for the time being. It was in his nature to say things how they were, and he had no intention of humiliating her. He was the type who would give people polite corrections.. or at least, what he considered to be polite, even if they didn't take it the same way.

    "I see..." the Emperor said as the lioness said what he already knew. Well, she was definitely attractive enough, but he had no intention of forcing her into something she didn't want. Curiously enough, however, she didn't seem to be as heavily affected by the overflowing magical energy that caused most of the human princesses to consider him the most attractive man in the room.

    "You must have traveled quite a bit to get here," he said. "I have a guest room fitting someone of your social status prepared. Anya can show you to your room," he said, glancing over to a cat-eared maid who appeared to be in her teens. Giving Anya a warmer smile that was reserved for people that actually mattered to him, he added, "If you would please show Her Highness to her room, Anya?"

    "Yes your Imperial Majesty."

    Anya bowed gracefully with both of her hand in front of her,a hint of a small smile dangling in her face. After that she face the emperor's guest and changed to a polite smile.

    "Please follow me Princess Lleona."

    She added before leading her to leave the throne room using the way that Lleona took earlier. As for Lleona, a hint of apprehensiveness flashed in her eyes. She was able to notice the difference of the treatment. It's not like she care, but she preferred it more if she was thrown out of the castle like the other princesses. Releasing a resigned sigh, she followed after the maid.

    Anya walked through maze like hallways and finally lead Lleona to the room designated for her. When they arrived at the door to Lleona's room, Anya fetched a gold like key from her pocket and inserted it to the key whole and opened the recently furnished room. The room contained a queen bed with draperies hanging from the bed, a expensive like vanity desk that contains all kinds of womanly items, a walk through wardrobe, a shelves and some other things.

    "The door to your right Princess leads to the shower room and the door to the left leads to your closet. Your things have been arranged by your people earlier.

    She reported coldly, the polite smile on her face was changed into a blank one. Anya didn't held any affections for outsiders since they only want power from her emperor. This insincerity has caused anya's reaction to other people except for the one working at the castle and of course the emperor, to be strained. Lleona frowned a little at the maids action but dismissed it since, she doesn't care after she haven't give up on trying to get kicked out of the castle.

    "As for your further needs, the bells near your bed is connected to whatever you may need. If there is nothing that you need. I will now take my leave."

    Anya bowed and left the room, leaving Lleona in this expensive room with her thoughts. Lleona walked towards the bed and plopped down ungracefully while receiving a tired smile. She just want to go back to her old life where she can be wild and carefree she really didn't like this stifling aura in the castle even just for a little bit.

    It was the Emperor's job to pay some measure of respect to the nobles, and to simply shun all of the potential marriage candidates that came to the palace risked insulting too many kings. Thus, he selected the prettiest of the princesses to stay the night... about a half dozen of them in total, including the aforementioned lioness, each with an assigned maid who would serve as her attendant during their stay in the Imperial Palace. By keeping the prettiest, he could always use the excuse that the ones who had been sent away were simply not pretty enough for his discriminating taste, should the nobles voice some objection.

    In truth, of course, it was because Friedrich I despised the idea of a political marriage to a spoiled princess who he didn't even like. It would take a bit more than just a pretty face to get close to him, after all... and he had plenty of pretty young maids and guards who had not only the looks, but the adorable personality that he found to be most pleasant company.

    Come dinner time, however, he was forced to face another decision. Though he usually preferred to dine alone, he was expected to entertain at least one of the princesses over dinner. For this decision, he decided to pick the one most likely to refuse the offer and leave him in peace. "Tori..." he said to a young maid with bunny ears that perked at his words. "Would you go tell Anya to invite Lleona to dinner with me?"

    As Anya was assigned to take care of Lleona during her time in the palace, she was as good a messenger as any to relay his obligatory request. In the seemingly likely event that the princess would find some excuse to decline the invitation, Friedrich would be granted a peaceful dinner experience with just himself and the servant girls.

    After mulling at the bed for a while, she rolled then sat up. She got off of the bed and started walking toward the right door and pushed it open. What greeted her was pool like bathtub filled with rose petals. When the smell hit her she scrunched her nose in distaste. The smell of roses was overwhelming for her but she decided to take a bath anyway cause she felt weary from travel and the meeting with the king.

    She stripped herself from any article of clothing and went to the side of the pool and used the jar like apparatus and scoop some water from the pool and poured it down on her head. She did it a few more times till her hair and body was wet. Feeling satisfied she stepped inside the pool and released a content sigh. Back at her country this kind of bath is a luxury, even if she was part of the royal family, her father didn't built anything like this since everyone felt that it was more fun to take a bath by wash house built in the river. So a bathing in quietness was rare.

    When she was frolicking at the tub Lleona unknowingly swipe her tail, and a bottle fell on the water. Soapy foamy bubbles began to rise up and overflow the pool, Lleona uncharacteristically gigglled at her mistake. She started washing her body with the foamy substance and smelled that it was rose scented. She was a little bit confused why it is all rose scented. She decided that it was time for her to go out and went towards a waterfall like thingy and washed herself free of the soap and foam. When none was left she stood up and grabbed the towel nearby and started drying herself. She also picked up a bathrobe and wrapped it around herself.

    Deciding that she should call a person to clean the bath later. When she got out of the bed a knocked echoed from her door.

    "Come in"

    She called out while drying her hair. Revealing a rabbit maid. When Tori left the dinner room it took her a little more time to arrived at the princess room. Tori wanted to let the king have a peace for a while and maybe make the king angry at the princess because she was tardy.

    "Princess Lleona the king asked if you would like to join him for dinner."

    Tori informed slightly bowing not letting her distaste of the princess show and hid it with a polite facade. Lleona stopped for a while when she heard the maid.

    "Please tell the Imperial Majesty that i would like to decline for now."

    She replied, but then an idea popped out of her mind. Since indirect tactics won't work she'll just directly tell the emperor to send her back. When tori heard the reply she bowed and was about to close the door.

    "Um.... wait! I changed my mind i'll join the emperor at dinner, i'm sorry for the trouble."

    Lleona added and apologized to the rabbit maid. Its true that she is sometimes condescending but she still know how to operate manners in a unfamiliar environment. Tori once again nodded and went back to inform the emperor with a hesitant expression. It was rare to have a royalty that apologize, most of the princess that she met ordered them around as if they were there property so she had a weird feeling of the princess. After walking for a while she arrived at the dinner room and went towards the The emperor to inform him of Princess Lleona's decision and that when she arrived the princess just finished refreshing herself. Maybe because she felt guilty of wasting time she decided to tell what the princess was doing when she arrived

    At Lleona's side, when tori left her room she went towards the left room and find something to wear. A frown appeared when the clothes she saw their were not her style it must be the working of the attendants. With a sigh she randomly chose a lacy black underwear as her inner matching with black stockings reaching till her thigh she used a garter belt to keep it in place and also choose a random red dress that hugged every curves of her body while the lower part was layered and had a slit on the side and found a shoe to wear. She wet out of the closet and sat in front of the vanity mirror she combed her hair and decided to just let it fall down at her back.

    Lleona didn't apply any make up and chose any jewelry. She went towards the door and saw a different maid was waiting to lead her. After walking for a while they finally arrived and the person at the door announced her presence and let her walk inside. When she went inside she saw the emperor in his glory sitting at the head table.

    "Pardon me for my lateness Your Imperial Majesty."

    Once Tori was sent to invite the lion princess to dinner, the Emperor resolved to have a peaceful dinner in the company of his maids and guards, fully expecting Lleona to turn the offer down, based on her earlier behavior. As such, he had several maids, along with a couple young angel-winged girls in the ceremonial armor of the Imperial Guard, sitting at the table with him... a most unorthodox thing, for a lord, but Friedrich wasn't like other nobles and instead preferred to treat the servants like family... to the point where he even allowed them to call him "Daddy" in private.

    When Tori arrived and told him that the princess had decided instead to accept the offer, he was surprised, but still thanked her and invited the bunny maid to sit with them. By the time the lioness showed up as well, there were only a couple vacant seats at the table, but he didn't dismiss the maids. "No worries," he said with a shrug to her apology, "It's clear you got ready as quickly as possible." The fact that she hadn't applied makeup or selected any accessories indicated that she wasn't exactly trying to impress him, despite how well the red dress clung to her form.

    "You can sit over there," he indicated the empty chair on the far side of the table from him, "Or here," he said, nodding to the one next to him, the angel-winged teen guard standing up in order to offer her seat to the princess. "Whichever you prefer, really." Though she hadn't used his full honorific in speaking to him, the abbreviated version that she used was perfectly acceptable as well, so at least she her royal etiquette was improving, somewhat.

    The food on the table mostly consisted of spicy dishes prepared for the Emperor's taste, but since it tended to burn the mouths of the maids, there were a few non-spicy dishes prepared to the taste of young girls, such as cake, cookies, and other various sweets that might normally be reserved for deserved. As the Emperor finished a large pint of dark ale, one of the maids replaced his tankard with an elegant glass full of red wine instead, as it suited a formal dinner better.

    When the emperor gestured towards the seat Lleona decided to choose the closest one since she is aiming to create a conversation with the emperor, in order to try and insert the favor she wants to ask or just directly ask. She strutted towards the seat next to the emperor and got herself seated.

    She awkwardly sat there for a while and said thank you when tori also offered her a glass of wine, she took some sip to calm her mind and maybe get herself a little intoxicated so she will be able to ask the emperor. After downing the glass of wine, she know that it looked rude but she didn't care, she raised her head and looked towards the emperor.

    "Your Imperial Majesty, May i request you too send me home? i can feel that you dont want me here and i feel the same. It would be beneficial for our own mutual interest if this happened dont you think?."

    She asked suddenly out of the blue, she never knew that the dosage of alcohol given to her was higher, so her eyes were a little bit hazy from downing a highly concentrated wine. Tori frowned when she saw that and gave anya a glare which the other returned with an innocent look. Tori just sighed and just didnt do anything she already have an idead on what anya wanted to do, she wanted the Lioness to make a mistake and shame herself in front of the Emperor.

    But all of them didn't expect that the Lioness Princess wanted to leave so they were caught off guard but they didnt show.

    "If the emperor still doesnt want to, because it may cause conflict and everything, i'm prepared to do anything so you will let me go home."

    Because she was drunk Lleona forgot to keep up the formalities. A wild and provocative aura radiated from her as she stared intensely at the emperor slightly licking her lips as she wait for his reply.

    As he had expected the princess to pick the more distant seat, Friedrich was somewhat surprised that she had chosen the adjacent one, though he didn't give much visible indication of this. He silently allowed her to sit, waiting for her to speak up, and drinking from his own wine. It was a particularly strong type of wine, as his tolerance to alcohol was higher than that of most humans, and therefore he needed a stronger dose to get the same effect.

    Noting how quickly the lioness finished her glass, he wondered if she was drinking the same thing as he was, and as she spoke up, it became clear that it was having quite the effect on her already... or perhaps she was just naturally weak to the substance. Still, the direct nature of her words surprised him... here she was, dressed in a rather provocative manner, essentially begging him to send her home.

    "I never said I didn't want you here," he corrected her. Neither had he said he did want her there, of course, but it made him wonder why she didn't want to be there, as most every other princess virtually threw herself at him in hopes that it would benefit her family. "Let me think about it..." he said, considering her reasoning. It was possible that she was interested in someone else, he supposed, but more likely it was a family issue, and she simply didn't get along with her father and objected to being used as a political tool.

    "Do everything I tell you for the rest of the night," he said to her. "Obey me in all things.... and if you still want to go home afterwards, I'll send you away. Will you agree to this?" As he spoke, most of the maids and guards began to make their way out of the dining room, clearing the table in front of him and leaving only Tori and Anya together with him and the lioness.

    Motioning for the two maids to climb up onto the table in front of them, he gave his first command to the princess. "For now, just sit there and watch, without closing your eyes or turning away. Be a good girl, and I might even help you out so that you aren't used as political tool for arranged marriages anymore."
