Thinking about a princess who sneaks out at night and becomes fast friends with a dragon. The dragon is actually a sweetheart, but everyone is frightened of her, with knights even attempting to kill her. Meanwhile, the princess' life is rather terrible, contrary to popular belief. Her time and future ate heavily policed by her parents. They're even planning to find some prince or noble for her to marry.
Unless, of course, she can stop them, and she's got a plan in mind. The princess is going to recruit the dragon for help.
They discuss their plan. The dragon is hesitant, because she doesn't want this to ruin her chances of living in the kingdom. But it won't, the princess will make sure of that.
She sneaks the dragon into the castle under the cover of darkness. Many people envisioned dragons to be as big as mountains, but in this case, that was far from true. To the princess, it felt like she was walking alongside a really large horse. The dragon's eyes darted around nervously, but the princess knew where to go. Under the cover of the night, she guided the dragon to the king and queen's quarters.
They never stood a chance. The princess opens the door to her parent's quarters, allowing the dragon to slip in, and then shuts the door behind her.
It's silent. Really, really silent. The princess wonders if the dragon is actually going to do anything, so she presses her ear to the door just in time to hear movement. Footsteps, talons clicking quietly on the floor... and then...
Chomp.
Glrnk. Glrrrrrrrrk. Glp.
A new, quieter sound starts from somewhere in the room.
"Mmmmf! HMMMP MMMMF!"
One down, the princess realizes.
There's a burst of frenzied shuffling, followed promptly by another chomp. The princess opens the door just in time to see the dragon tipping her head up and furrowing her brows in concentration. A large bulge slides down her throat, disappearing past her chest, and then pooling into her stomach.
There's a flurry of emotions the princess feels as the dragon turns to look at her, but she knows that first and foremost, they need to get out. With that thought, the princess guides the dragon back out of the castle. They make the journey back to the dragon's lair, although this time, it's much more arduous for the dragon.
Once they reach the lair, the dragon flops onto her side, panting. Her stomach is extremely swollen, bulging out and squirming as the king and queen squirm inside of it. To the princess, it almost looks painful, how full the dragon is. She kneels down next to the dragon's belly and places a hand on it, massaging into it gently.
"Thank you," she murmurs. The dragon lays still for a second, panting still. Her tail starts thumping against the ground, wagging like a dog.
"Of course, love," the dragon purrs.
If the princess listens closely, she thinks she can faintly pick up what sounds like shouts of betrayal. Her parents must have heard her voice, recognized her touch. She can't actually tell, though. As time goes on, the dragon's stomach begins to grow louder and louder in its churning. She can't imagine the environment in there is very pleasant, to put it mildly...
On the one hand, she feels guilty for condemning her parents to this fate. This is an undignified way to go.
...But, on the other hand... the dragon looks so good with such a full belly... and the princess honestly can't wait to watch as the dragon's belly begins to shrink and change shape as digestion progresses.
