Shadow sighed. He wasn’t going to get anywhere with this, but it had at least gotten him a little bit of time to think.

If he kept this up, chances are she’d just bring him under a tighter leash and force him to do as she wanted without him being able to talk back. He generally preferred to at least keep some semblance of himself rather than be a mindless slave. All he would get was a small amount of satisfaction knowing that she couldn’t handle him, before he was turned into a slave with no free will.

If he did what she said, he might at least get freed at some point, and who knows, he might get some sort of reward for his work. As the gears worked away in his mind, there was only one real decision he could make.

He gave a heavy sigh, and finally spoke, in a voice of forced polite.

“…What do you need me to do then, Princess? I should probably tell you that if you require soldiers on the battlefield, there are those far better suited for that sort of work other than me, but if that’s what you wish of me, I shall, of course, obey.”

     Finally, it seemed as if he would play along nicely. At least for the time being. Really this was all far more of a hassle than she normally cared to deal with, but sometimes if you don’t experience a bit of a nuisance then you won’t gain the knowledge to deal with the next. After this she was sure to sit down for a warm cup of tea to rid the headache he’d no doubt brought to her. Would the next summon bring about someone of his annoying mindset?

     “ I’m not so desperate as to place someone on the battlefield that isn’t suited for the work. If you’re that sure of yourself then I have plenty others who can take your place. ” It didn’t need saying that she n e v e r intended to place him there in the first place. He was right in stating there were far better fighters at her disposal.

     “ Though I’m certain I’ll make use of you some other way should you tell me what it is you are good for. ” Spoken in such a way that it wasn’t a suggestion or even a request but a c o m m a n d. One he’d best follow with her patience running thin.

salviitas:

    Of all the things she might have requested, he expected this the least. It was abundantly clear that she was mage first and foremost, and though he had never pried, he had seen evidence of a lifetime of poor health. But nonetheless, the request brings a smile to his lips–many of his fondest memories are of teaching Corrin, after all.

    “I’d be honored to,” he says, making a mental note to ensure that they don’t push her too hard. “I’m afraid I know little of the empire’s style, but I can teach you how the style I was taught. Would that suffice?”

     For but a second the princess was a tad surprised. She’d thought he might decline at first, or pose reason that she shouldn’t have such an interest-- that there wasn’t a n e e d for her to dabble in anything outside of tomes and rituals. Yes, it was indeed a surprise that for once there was no opposition to the matter. But all that showed was a mere blink of the eyes.

     “ That will be alright. I wouldn’t have asked if I expected anything otherwise. ” It was actually in Veronica’s interest to learn whatever she could of the lands b e y o n d Zenith. Be it culture, geography, or fighting styles. Learning was both a duty and a joy.

     “ When do you think it best we commence then? If you bore prior commitments I won’t interfere with them today. ”

Shadow simply folded his arms.

“Sorry. I tend to reserve common courtesy for people who HAVEN’T forced me into slavery for them. Because let’s not mince words, that’s basically what this is. I don’t think I’m getting paid for this, even if I’m not really allowed to refuse to follow your orders. I don’t care if someone is a Princess or a God, forcing me and countless others into slavery for their cause is hardly an act deserving any respect.”

He sighed a little, tapping his forearm with a finger.

“…Besides, let’s say I DO show you some respect and kindness, despite you having earnt none of it. Where is the proof that you would return me to my land? How do I know you wouldn’t simply keep me in slavery for months, if not years? I have absolutely no reason to trust that you would release me whether I’m nice or not.”

He kept his eyes fixed on hers.

“So, unless you have proof that you’d release me if I were better behaved, or you have some orders for me, I’d rather be left alone.”

     The tension was near t a n g i b l e at this point and they’d even garnered the attention of those nearby. A few loyal subjects made an attempt to step forward though one look from the princess gave the silent order to stay put. Perhaps she had them fighting her war, but there were still plenty of fights in which she wouldn’t allow such interference. If she had, it’d be nothing more than a sign of cowardice.

     “ So that would be your concern. ”

     Spoken, as if she thought little of the situation. As if the fear of not being returned to one’s home were so minuscule in comparison to greater evils. “ If you’re to be as cunning as you think yourself to be, you know something like that has no tangible proof. There’s nothing to be taken but my word, and a royal is n o t h i n g if they can’t keep their word. ”

     She took a step forward, holding her ground. Even if it were a g i a n t, the small girl would carry herself as the larger person. Never would she be talked down to. “ Though if you still desire proof, there are not only those who continue to follow me after I’ve released them but as well as those who I’ve left alone after our contract was broken. ”

     It probably wasn’t anything someone would expect from the young princess. She was small and looked as fragile as g l a s s though her eyes were an unforgiving fire. There wasn’t much form to her as she lacked athleticism-- though not by choice. It used to be a dream to venture outside and learn the skills taught to the soldiers of Embla. Unfortunately, she was subject to nothing more than reading and memorizing spellbooks, which wasn’t anything more than a few recitals and varying hand gestures. Perhaps it might’ve been pushing the good state of her current health, but nothing ventured was nothing gained. ( It wasn’t as though anyone outside of the palace staff knew either ). And so there was a strange though admirable determination behind her words to the foreign prince.

     “ Prince Xander, would you teach me the sword? ”

🐼 🐼 “Hehe, shhhh. It’s a secret. I… Let’s say I get along with nature. I can keep it alive for a really long time as long as you nurture it. You need to water it and change the soil once it gets weak.”

The butler smiled widely at the young girl, patting her head gently. It was true that he easily revealed his power to a child but he was certain that she’d keep it a secret. Besides, she couldn’t know the boundaries of that magic. Keeping it simple was the best course of action for her friend. “Veronica, you said I knew magic too. Do you know magic as well?” His eyebrows raised as he carefully started taking the plant from his place. Digging a circle around it in order to find the length of it’s roots. Even with magic, there was still the limit of life itself. He wasn’t an expert and besides, neither he knew how far he could use his talent. “Little princess, we’re gonna keep this between you and me. If the other knew… they’d send me away… And, I have to admit, I grew fond of you and your family. I hope you feel the same. In a way, I feel as if part of it… eheh, even if it sounds beyond impossible.” 🐼 🐼

     Ever an eager one for learning, Veronica nodded her small head at each little instruction. She’d never been trusted to c a r e for anything-- not even her beloved wolf friend. Even he was under the watch of servants. “ I don’t know a lot about plants, but I can try to find a book! I’m sure the library has tons about them. ”

     There was a pause in her excitement and a curious tilt of the head. Her magical capabilities were no secret of the palace. Even the common folk were aware that she’d come into great power one day.

     “ Did you not know, Aqu? It runs in the family! That’s why there’s so many tomes in my room. But we still haven’t found what I’m good at... ”

     She was lost in thought then, pondering over the many sessions she’d had with both her father and trusted tutors. Each time they failed to find her natural-born specialty it seemed to upset them m o r e than it did her. Though she was snapped back to attention at the mention of secrecy and a small frown marred her face. The child couldn’t help but to grasp at her friend’s arm. “ I won’t tell, I promise! I don’t want you to go away. It gets so lonely in that room... ”

     henry rarely went on the field and he was okay with that ( for the most part. there was a small bit of disappointment at the lack of bloodshed in the castle, but he could manage it. ) the library was big enough that he spent almost all his time there; he even slept there some nights!

     he was curled up in one of the corners of the library now, a heavy tome open in his lap and flipped to one of the later pages, covered in diagrams of magic circles and runes. her voice broke him out of his attention, his finger trailing over the edge of the biggest circle.

       “ everything’s new to me! it’s hard to not be entertained when you’re surrounded by things you’ve never seen before. ”  he shifted from his spot, patting the seat beside him for her to sit with him. “ the only time i’ve ever seen this many books was when i started school. ”

     She hesitated but a moment before opting to join him. The gesture wasn’t unfamiliar as she’d had whole streets clear a pathway just for her. Yet it was still odd to consider it might be done as a ‘ friendly welcoming ’ rather than a social obligation. Friendly... Is that what it was? Unlikely. She couldn’t recall ever acting as such herself.

     “ So that’s all it is. I suppose I did grow accustomed to everything some time ago. Nothing seems new to me anymore. ” Quietly, she leaned in her seat just a bit to get a glimpse of the tome in his lap.  A f a i n t memory lingered at the back of her mind of a lesson long ago taught from it. The practice had been quickly abandoned when it proved not to be her calling.

     “ You say none of this is familiar... Just what was your world like then? Were books really such a rarity? ”

     Quite frankly she hadn’t a clue what she ought to do with the flower crown. She supposed there was no harm in leaving it where it was, but what point would be had in that? Furthermore it wouldn’t do if suddenly everyone thought such actions were okay. Although she allowed most everyone to do as they wished as long as they obeyed her command, Veronica didn’t want to come off as too l a x a leader. No, the girl certainly was not that.

     “ I see. And just what do you plan to do now that you know? Is there a point in this? ”

❂ “Hm? Oh, Veronica! You’re such a great discoverer! That’s a carnation. It comes from “coronation”, little one. Ehehe, suited for this lovely princess, right?” - He caressed her head after laying down the watering can, bearing a smile on his face. He never expected to end up taking care of a princess once he became a butler. Even if he was actually inclined for arts, he did know how to handle housework. And even more when untainted children were involved. Such was the case he was now in. Veronica couldn’t have proved to be a better young girl. Deep in his heart, he knew she’d be a wise and kind ruler in time. “Ehehehe, it’s normal you don’t remember. We haven’t been here in ages. Hmm, would you like to take it with you? I can put it in a pot with dirt. And… I assure you it will live if we take good care of it. Don’t tell anyone I’ll use my magic to keep it strong, okay?” Somehow, it was a risky move to reveal his secret but… he trusted her. During the time he’s been living there, he got so close to the young princess. Maybe he could be seen as her private butler. ❂

     Ruby eyes widened in amazement and wonder at the new information and a small bit of laughter tumbled from her lips. No matter the few compliments she received, Veronica was terribly h u m b l e. How could she be a good princess if she did nothing but lay in bed most days? Even so, she gazed back at the flower and gingerly touched its soft petals. “ Carnation... W-Wait--! ”

     Gaze returned back to the elder, it seemed even w i d e r now than before. For a moment she thought there must have been a misunderstanding. “ You know magic too, Aqu? Since when? What kind--? ” Suddenly there were countless questions she wanted to ask and she wondered if anyone else knew. Oh... What if they didn’t? Stopping in the middle of her ramble, she shyly looked around the gardens for anyone else. It seemed they were alone for now.

     “ Um... Can you really keep the carnation alive? I don’t want to take it if it’s not okay. ”

my url? if you don't have too many!

My Opinion on;

Character in general: ok idk if it’s an unpopular opinion or not but i really really really like veronica and get very frustrated at how little she appears in heroes and like granted i don’t expect that much from a mobile app in terms of storyline and i’m used to characters being antagonists for reasons that aren’t really thought out but dammit flesh her out more.How they play them: so good like it’s such a joy to read all your headcanons and stuff because i love how you’re fleshing her out and piecing together all these bits and pieces that we have of her. The Mun: omg you are another person who i haven’t talked to like…at all…aside from a couple of exchanges that were probably related to plotting tbh

Do I:

RP with them: yep!!Want to RP with them:  y e s

What is my;

Overall Opinion: i don’t have a super strong opinion of the mun because i don’t know you very well (but rest assured that my feelings towards you hover towards friendly acquaintance) but i do know i love your portrayal of veronica and your writing in general

**Note: Mun’s answer are all to be completely honest. Don’t send url if you don’t want brutal honesty
