⠀ With a sudden motion the dragon
⠀ princess lurches forwards and pulls
⠀ Esdeath into an alleyway, using her
⠀ draconic strength she seldom
⠀ broadcasts, face practically steaming.
⠀”P-please don’t say such things in public.
⠀ It is embarrassing..”
⠀
“ᴀ ᴡʜᴀᴛ? ʟᴏᴠᴇʀ? ɪ ʙᴇᴛ ᴛʜᴇʏ ɢᴇᴛ ᴅʀᴀɪɴᴇᴅ ɴɪɢʜᴛʟʏ ʙʏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡʜᴇɴ ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ꜰᴇᴇʟɪɴɢ ꜰʀɪꜱᴋʏ…ʏᴏᴜ ᴛʀᴜʟʏ ᴀʀᴇ ᴀ ꜱᴜʀᴘʀɪꜱᴇ”
She just kept teasing and messing with the princess before her—and man was if worth doing so!
⠀
⠀”N-no! That’s not what I… meant I just..
⠀ Already have a.. you know...”
⠀ A princess could never directly admit to
⠀ seeing someone before marriage,
⠀especially in such a gossipy academy.

“ᴏʜ? ꜱᴏ ʏᴏᴜ ᴅᴏ ᴜꜱᴇ ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴛᴀʟᴇɴᴛᴇᴅ ɢɪꜰᴛ ᴏɴ ᴏᴛʜᴇʀꜱ ᴇᴠᴇɴ ᴀꜱ ᴀ ᴘʀɪɴᴄᴇꜱꜱ, ʜᴏᴡ ᴀᴅᴏʀᴀʙʟᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜɪɴᴋ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴇʀᴇ ɪɴɴᴏᴄᴇɴᴛ!!”
Esdeath couldn’t help but laugh at this display—it was like a fever dream!

⠀”Hey Anne! Hmm, looking for Grea? Oh.
⠀ She’s… sleeping in. Yeah we had a
⠀ ‘sleepover’, mmhm..”
⠀ "ᴬ-ᵃⁿⁿᵉ.. ᵁᵘᵇᵘᵘ.. ⁱⁿ ʰ-ᵉʳ... ʰᵉˡᵖ.."
⠀ The princess really needs to be more
⠀ careful about who she chooses to hang
⠀ out with.
⠀
⠀
⠀”O-oh. Th-that kind of thing… mmm..
⠀ Mm… mmu.. I- I do not think I could.
⠀ I already… no it um jjust would not feel
⠀ right to use such a… ‘skill�� on others.”
⠀ Suddenly squeamish. Yet, she definitely
⠀ has potential for such a skill,
⠀ unadmittedly.
⠀
⠀
⠀”Entertaining what thought? Please do not
⠀ be so tongue-in-cheek about such
⠀ things! If there is a way a Princess can
⠀ get ahead then, she should know about
⠀ it, no?”
⠀
“ꜱᴜᴄʜ ᴀ ꜱʜᴀᴍᴇ, ᴀɴ ɪɴɴᴏᴄᴇɴᴛ ɢɪ��ʟ ɴᴏᴛ ᴇᴠᴇɴ ᴛʜɪɴᴋɪɴɢ ᴏʀ ᴇɴᴛᴇʀᴛᴀɪɴɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛ. ᴡᴇʟʟ ɪ ᴡᴏɴ’ᴛ ᴊᴜᴅɢᴇ—ʏᴏᴜ ᴀʀᴇ ꜱᴏᴍᴇᴏɴᴇ ᴡʜᴏ ꜱᴇᴇᴍ ᴅɪʟɪɢᴇɴᴛ ɪɴ ʟᴇᴀʀɴɪɴɢ.”
Esdeath didn’t pester further though she was curious of her life.

⠀”A-ah, I’m sorry! I just.. didn’t know what

⠀ Of course, Esdeath and Grea likely had
