As usual, Remy rose with the sun. She spent a while in a bath then had her ladies help her into her dress, a lilac colored one with dark purple and white accents. Once her hair and makeup were tended to, she went to the kitchen to oversee the packing of the basket for their trip. When it was finished, she made her way to the library and picked out a book for the journey then finally went to the main hall of the palace, waiting for the carriage.

Overseeing the preparation of their carriage, as well as selecting the team to haul them, Al finally nodded with satisfaction as he headed to the hall to collect Remy. When he came upon her, waiting so patiently, he smiled happily. Taking the basket, he leaned down to present a chaste kiss to her cheek. “You look absolutely beautiful this morning my love, are you ready to be off?” He asked with a grin on his face and a gleam in his eye, looking forward to their travel.

Al smiled at her request, leaving the basket and blanket on a nearby table. “Of course my love.” He said, offering his arm once again. They set off through the palace. “I insist that we take these short times together my dear” he said, especially after we are wed.“ He smiled over to her. “And we will definitely travel together.”

He had no serious thoughts of any personal dangers, even if he moved her family back in to the palace. His spies had infiltrated months ago, identifying any hazards, for which he had plans and counter plans.

“Well, then I should hope you make a good impression tomorrow.” she replied. “And then all you wish for and more shall come to pass,” she said, smiling and pressing a kiss to his cheek. As they arrived, she turned to him and smiled softly.

“Thank you,” she murmured, her arms wrapping around him as she leaned up to peck his lips. “I like when we aren’t fighting. It’s nice.”

Al wrapped his arms around her accepting her light kiss. “I prefer we do not fight as well love.” Leaning down to kiss her nose. “I’ll work harder to accommodate you darlin’” he added, his hands lightly stroking along Remy’s back.

“Now, before you become too much of a distraction, I’ll be of to prepare for tomorrow’s journey.” He said, his voice firm, but his eyes showing his deep desire.

Remy smiled up at him.

“Well I hope this won’t be too distracting,” she murmured, leaning up and pressing her lips to his once again in a long, slow kiss. When she finally released him, she murmured a soft “goodnight” then turned and disappeared into her room.

Al watched Remy until her door closed. He was so smitten with the young woman at this point it was almost painful to be away from her. Setting off, he roused the stable hands to ensure a carriage would be ready in the morning.

Returning to his room, he restlessly attempted to sleep, the thought of Remy in his mind. Her soft skin, gentle lips, intoxicating smell. With a sigh, he gave in to temptation, stroking himself to a much needed release.

Remy had Eliza called to her room to help her change. Once she was in a nightgown, Eliza was quick to fire question after question at the princess. Remy, however, simply thanked her friend and sent her on her way, promising to tell her everything after she got back from visiting her parents.

Finally, after Eliza left, she laid down on her bed and wrapped herself up in her sheets, hardly able to sleep from the excitement of seeing her family again.

Al woke before sunlight, eager to be on with the day. Springing from the bed, he made off to the baths right away. Seeing it was deserted, he smiled, fine with a cold water cleaning. From there he was off to a breakfast before heading to roust the stable hands, knowing he has plenty of time before Remy would be ready.

Al chuckled at Remy’s ramblings. “I only fear for yours and your family’s safety.” He said, smiling at her as they made their way towards the palace. “I’ll arrange a carriage tonight and we’ll leave first thing.” He decided, ignoring her teasing about sharing a bed.

fromfaiirytales

Remy said nothing at first. She was positive that returning her father and mother to the throne would settle the country more than upset it, if only for the return to normalcy. They would not be in danger. However, if they were to come back, there would be pressure for them to cut down the threat to their rule; Al and his men. She doubted he was fearful of such a thing happening, but she equally doubted that he wished for any violent outbreaks– especially against her family.

“Thank you,” she said, finally, resting her head against his shoulder. “Since we’ll be in the carriage all morning, I’ll bring a few books and a basket of snacks for us.” As they arrived back at the palace, she sighed softly and looked up at him. “walk me to my room?”

Remy smirked at his words, her hands taking his and holding it, her fingers tracing the lines of his palm. When he promised her more sweets the next time, she looked up at him with a smile, only to be pulled into another kiss. She gave a small sound off surprise, then smiled into the kiss as she returned it. After a short while, she pulled away, her breath heavier now.

“I believe someone owes Eliza a thank you note,” she murmured, having caught her breath a bit, then pressed her lips to his again as the last lights of the sun disappeared.

Al pulled Remy completely onto his lap now, kissing her deeply as his arms wrapped around the young woman. His moans of delight vibrating against her lips. His desire growing beneath her soft form. When they finally broke, he stayed close, rubbing his nose against hers. “I really do want you as my wife Remy, How many times must I ask? He said softly, his breath hot against her lips.

fromfaiirytales

She gave a soft sound of mixed surprise and delight as he pulled her close. When they finally broke apart again, she gasped quietly, her eyes remaining shut for a moment before fluttering. As he mentioned marriage, she sighed and let her head fall to his shoulder again.

“As many times as it takes for me to say yes?” She replied. “Marriage is the last thing I want right now. With it comes parties and formalities and declarations and then children as quickly as possible for what else is a woman worth?” Sighing softly, she placed a hand on his cheek, turning his head to look at her. “Can’t we stay like this for a while? Just picnics and arguments and kisses and sunsets? And speaking of sunsets, if we don’t return soon, the guards may worry…”

Al smiled at Remy’s wish for such a simple life. His own hand rising to caress her cheek in kind. “We can my love, at least for a while. But soon the pressures from the people and nobles will be bearing down on us to demonstrate our union.” He kissed her nose, then rested his forehead against hers.

“We are young enough to not have to rush into having children, and I value you far more than to be just the mother of my children. As to the guards, they know we are together and I will keep you safe.” His arm around Remy tightening in demonstration.

“You must know also my sweet, I am a man who has desires. These desires grow even stronger when I hold you like this, when I kiss you like this.” He demonstrates, kissing her long and deeply.

fromfaiirytales

She couldn’t help a small shake of her head as he brushed off her comment about returning to the palace. As he began speaking of his desires, her eyes found his again and her smile of amusement faded. When his lips found hers, she hesitated slightly, then returned it for several moments before finally pulling away.

“I’m afraid your desires must wait until there is a wedding.” She replied quietly. “Until then… you will have to find other means to satisfy yourself. I simply can not risk my virtue.” Pausing, she looked away for a moment, then removed herself from his lap, standing and brushing off her long skirts.

“Really, now, it’s late and the sun is gone. It is time we returned.” She said softly.

Al sighed, moving to repack the basket, glancing up to Remy as he did so from his hands and knees. “You know love, there are other ways to pleasure each other without threatening your virtue.” He said, standing up with the blanket in his hands. Deftly folding it, he looked into her face. “It’s not as if we are children and have to be tucked in before the moonrise either.” Having everything stowed, he offered his hand as they walked back to the palace.

fromfaiirytales

She remained quiet as he packed, wondering if she should help. As he stood, she took his arm, standing close to him as they started back to the castle.

“I know that you are eager, and I know that you dislike the rules of court, but I was raised to be a proper lady.” She replied softly, her fingers tapping nervously against his arm. “I’m simply not comfortable being… intimate before marriage or at the very least an extensive courtship. And while rules and customs and approval of others may mean nothing to you, they all mean quite a bit to me and my family.” Looking to him, she continued. “All I ask is that you be patient. If you are truly so eager, get approval from my parents. Convince me of your love, not just your lust, and we will be at the altar before you know it.” She said, smiling softly. “Until then, your pleasure is yours to take care of. I have waited nineteen years to even be kissed, I think I can last a bit longer.”

Al sighed at her words. “I will ride out and get your family’s permission tomorrow, in writing with his seal.” He decided, glancing over to Remy. “And I think I’ve shown you very much how I care for you, given all the concessions I’ve given.” He said, chuckling at that. “But if you get lonely tonight, and find your way into my arms by chance, I certainly wouldn’t turn you away, even if it were just to talk and share chaste kisses.

fromfaiirytales

“While a letter and seal may work to convince everyone else, I would rather hear it myself…” she said quietly. “I miss them…” trying to keep tears out of her eyes, she sniffled softly and blinked them away.

“And I am afraid simply being seen in your room late at night could ruin my reputation.” She replied. “Really, I can’t risk it. I’m sorry.”

Al shrugged, a little disappointed, and not looking forward to a lonely night. "I suggest we bring your family back here then. We can install them in the east wing, while we live in the west." He proposed, figuring how he would manage with her family so close.

"My, what a beautiful mouth you've got."

Send “My what a beautiful mouth you have” for my muse’s reaction to your muse randomly running a finger seductively over mine’s lips.

“Oh, I, um, thank you?” she replied, smiling back at the man.

"How would you like to put it to good use?"

Al moved to his knees before her, his face serious, in spite of the small grin on his face. “It’s true I want your hand to assist in ruling this land my love, but I also want you as my wife, as a woman, as my lover.” He said softly, moving slowly towards her, lips finally meeting.

fromfaiirytales

She met his lips, a bit timidly, but soon relaxing. Her head tilted slightly as the kiss continued her hand coming to rest on his chest lightly. When she finally broke the kiss, her lips lingered closely for a moment longer before her eyes fluttered open.

“I believe I requested that romance and feelings were withheld from conversation this evening,” She murmured, still quite close to him, her eyes serious at first then lightening as a soft smile found her lips. “I suppose while we’re speaking of things I wished to avoid…there’s something I should tell you.” she paused, leaning back from him. “I spoke with the nobles again today. I won’t bore you with the details but I made a deal with them. The crown will buy goods for itself and for the impoverished in our nation. The nobles will be satisfied with the additional income and the poor will have food and wood for their fire. And in addition to this, any nobleman or woman that gives a donation to the poor will receive either lowered taxes or personal favor from the crown, within reason.” Pausing, she looked to him nervously.

“The nobles agreed and the decree will be in effect by tomorrow morning. I know I should have consulted you first, but you were out all day and the nobles were threatening civil war and something had to be done. It was the best I could do.”

Al contemplated Remy’s deal with the nobility. Nodding his head, he gave her a wistful smile. “Very well, we shall hold them to it, and I will support you on this.” He said, moving to sit, leaning his back against the tree as he studied her. “Come here, sit with me.” He asked her softly. Holding his arms open to her.

fromfaiirytales

She practically sighed with relief when he did not try to fight her on the decree. Her nerves mostly calm, she glanced to him as he moved to the tree. Again, she hesitated before joining him. Rather than sit in his Armstrong, though, she seated herself beside him, her shoulder brushing against his arm.

“I suppose I owe you an apology…” she murmured. “I know it seemed foolish to risk my health, but I know what care the kitchen takes in preparing my meals. I could not in good conscience allow them to waste so much on me when there was the threat of starvation for the rest. I will not apologize for my actions, but I am sorry for worrying you and everyone else. I just wanted to protect my people.” Sighing softly, she rested her head against his shoulder.

Al slid his arm around Remy’s waist, slipping her calves over his legs, not quite sitting the young woman on his lap. Kissing her head, his hand lightly caressed her knee. “You did frustrate me terribly with that.” He sighed into her hair. “I do love how strong willed you are, that strong passionate fire in you love, but some times…” His words trailed off.

Looking out over the lea, Al took in the beautiful sight as the sun set. “We should make a habit of doing this my love.” He said, his arm tightening slightly around her.

fromfaiirytales

“You wish I would just do as I was told?” She finished for him, looking to him with a raised brow and a smirk. “I’ve never been good at that,”

Her eyes followed his then, taking in the reflecting light on the water. As he held her a bit tighter, a smile found her lips.

“I don’t think I’d mind.” She murmured back. “But only if you promise to bring more sweets next time.” She said with a playful grin.

Al smiled and kissed her head again, wanting to feel her lips on his again and again. "I surely don't expect you to 'do as you're told' my dear, but surely you would like for me to keep my loud mouth shut at times?" He asked, lightly tickling her knee. "I promise we will have all the sweets you desire." He added, his voice lower as he gives in to his desire, pulling Remy into a slow, passionate kiss.

I will not apologize for my actions, but I am sorry for worrying you and everyone else. I just wanted to protect my people.” Sighing softly, she rested her head against his shoulder.

Al slid his arm around Remy's waist, slipping her calves over his legs, not quite sitting the young woman on his lap. Kissing her head, his hand lightly caressed her knee. "You did frustrate me terribly with that." He sighed into her hair. "I do love how strong willed you are, that strong passionate fire in you love, but some times..." His words trailed off.

Looking out over the lea, Al took in the beautiful sight as the sun set. "We should make a habit of doing this my love." He said, his arm tightening slightly around her.

Al moved to his knees before her, his face serious, in spite of the small grin on his face. “It’s true I want your hand to assist in ruling this land my love, but I also want you as my wife, as a woman, as my lover.” He said softly, moving slowly towards her, lips finally meeting.

She met his lips, a bit timidly, but soon relaxing. Her head tilted slightly as the kiss continued her hand coming to rest on his chest lightly. When she finally broke the kiss, her lips lingered closely for a moment longer before her eyes fluttered open.

“I believe I requested that romance and feelings were withheld from conversation this evening,” She murmured, still quite close to him, her eyes serious at first then lightening as a soft smile found her lips. “I suppose while we’re speaking of things I wished to avoid…there’s something I should tell you.” she paused, leaning back from him. “I spoke with the nobles again today. I won’t bore you with the details but I made a deal with them. The crown will buy goods for itself and for the impoverished in our nation. The nobles will be satisfied with the additional income and the poor will have food and wood for their fire. And in addition to this, any nobleman or woman that gives a donation to the poor will receive either lowered taxes or personal favor from the crown, within reason.” Pausing, she looked to him nervously.

“The nobles agreed and the decree will be in effect by tomorrow morning. I know I should have consulted you first, but you were out all day and the nobles were threatening civil war and something had to be done. It was the best I could do.”

Al contemplated Remy's deal with the nobility. Nodding his head, he gave her a wistful smile. "Very well, we shall hold them to it, and I will support you on this." He said, moving to sit, leaning his back against the tree as he studied her. "Come here, sit with me." He asked her softly. Holding his arms open to her.

Al flushed red at Remy’s question. He had in fact requested scented oils after his bath just for her pleasure. Seeing the light smile cross her face, even touching those beautiful eyes, warmed his heart.

“Shhhh.” He said softly. “It’s story time.” Al’s hand moved to softly stroke Remy’s cheek, then cover her eyes. “ close your eyes and follow me to a land far far away.”

“There once was a ne'er do well boy, who to the sorrow of his poor father, could never get the lad to help his tailoring business to learn his trade….” Al commenced to tell the story of Aladdin and the lamp, his deep, soft voice, repeating the story he had learned on his travels.

Giggling softly at his response, she rolled her eyes before finally shutting them as he had requested.

As he told his story, she imagined it in her mind. With each new character and different voice he used for them, her smile would return, finding it amusing. It was only during the suspenseful and more action-filled parts that her green eyes would flutter open to watch him as he spoke, caught up in his story. As the story began to draw to its end, she simply watched him tell it, and when it finally ended, she smiled to him.

“thank you,” she murmured gently. “that was a lovely story.” After a small pause, she spoke again. “Perhaps, tomorrow, if we can both find the time… I could read something to you? Aside from my private chambers, my father allowed only two other places in the castle to be entirely mine, the central garden, and the library. The only other people that ever go in them are the maids and gardeners to keep everything in order, so the library would be quiet…” suddenly meeting his eyes, her own features flushed and she sat up quickly, looking away from him. “U-unless you don’t want too, I mean I’m sure I’ll be plenty busy tomorrow anyways and you’d probably tire of my voice after the first page…” nervously, she continued to ramble on, her voice slowly quieting to mumbles as she busied herself with picking grass and leaved out of her long hair.

Al smiled at Remy’s prattling, her nervousness. Taking one of her busy hands in his, he leaned forward to press his lips to the soft skin. “I would be honored to sit with you.” He said softly, his eyes gleaming at her as the sun set, the dimming light enhancing her beauty. “Remy, I would very much like to kiss you right now.” He whispered.

Her words halted as he took her hand, her eyes watching as kissed it gently and her nerves calming a bit. When he accepted her invitation, she smiled, relaxing once again as she released a breath she hadn’t known she was holding. His, next words, however, surprised her, causing her eyebrows to raise a bit. She paused for a moment, unsure of how to respond.

“To kiss a princess on only your first outing seems quite inappropriate,” she replied, looking at him through her lashes. “We don’t even have a chaperone…” she murmured. “But then, I suppose I’ve never been one for authority and traditions,” she finished, smirking almost playfully at him.

Al moved to his knees before her, his face serious, in spite of the small grin on his face. "It's true I want your hand to assist in ruling this land my love, but I also want you as my wife, as a woman, as my lover." He said softly, moving slowly towards her, lips finally meeting.
