1-A drink (Anette x Scarlet)

Royalty au

Annette Duval and Louis Duval were twins. Princess and Prince like the kingdom had never seen. Cunning, intelligent, strong and powerful. Yet unfortunately they were stuck in the castle usually.

Annette wasn't one to search for thrill around every corner, she was one to think before she acted. Yet something ached. Anyone stuck in one place for so long would have this ache to go, to see, to hear and to smell.

 She knew the city builds well, but not enough to go alone. Fortunately, she had a guard, that wasn't the most... typical guard... Madam Scarlett Miller. A great warrior was her personal guard. While she did her duty well, she liked fun.. a lot.

So one night Annette decided to try something out.

"Scarlett," Her voice was calm, melodic, "I would like to make a request of assistance."

They sat under a willow tree in the garden, Scarlett who had been standing inspecting the tree to see how climbable it was, perked up: "Yes, your majesty, anything?"

The princess chuckled, "I told you to call me Annette. No need for formality. Say... could you help me out tonight with a simple mission?" 

"Of course, Annette" The pink haired girl smiled, under the trees shadow her hair was almost red.

"Would you help me.. sneak out? Take me to the tavern" The shorthaired woman, tilted her head a bit. She had heard a lot about the tavern. Her own twin brother had went there once.

Scarlett perked up, "Sneak out?" she paused for a second. On one hand her  job was to protect the princess that stood so confidentially Infront of her... but she knew better than to think of Anette as weak. And besides it could be fun. "You got it!"

And that's how they found themselves in a tavern at late night. Of course both had disguises. Anette was wearing a long, grey wrap, worn over a dark grey, asymmetrical tunic. The dress has a cinched waist with a simple dark belt. She also wore tall, dark boots. Simple enough to look like a peasant traveller but not too bad. Scarlett was wearing a functional outfit just in case of actual fights. It consisted of a fitted back sleeveless top details resembling shoulder guards. The black pants were wide legged with a buckle accent. An additional piece resembling an apron ties at the waist and drapes down along the sides of its legs -possibly hiding extra pockets for weapons. 

They sat at a tavern table with two drinks on the table. Anette had insisted Scarlett join for at least one drink.

Before she could stop the words rolled off Scarlets tongue, "You're beautiful.." it felt so natural, so sweet and soft. Unlike the usual cocky and snarky remarks she spat.

Anette put her glass down and smiled a bit. "Thank you. I can't exactly not return the compliment to someone like you."

The two now were smiling at eachother. It felt weirdly intimate like an inside information even though it was so laid out on display.

Anette finished her glass and called for another drink. Scarlett as much as she wanted to do the same, knew it was better to stick to a single drink tonight. Two drinks became three. Three became five.

The princess felt so free, like she had never felt before. She felt so warm and fuzzy. Were people celebrating? It was hard to understand what people were singing for but she joined. The Taverns people sang like a mismatched chorus in a weirdly comforting way.

"Anette, your majesty, I think its time to leave," Scarlett spoke a bit wary after a guy spilled a beer almost right next to the two but Anette was smiling widely with a drunken smile.

"Awh c'mon we can stay for a bit more... Have drink it tastes really good" She was clearly drunk but she put her glass to Scarletts lips. 

She took a quick sip just to please Anette then set the glass down, "We should g-" The redhead didn't get to finish her words before the blonde woman spoke.

"Just a few more minutes..." she paused to take another drink, "please.." shit. Now that Scarlett couldn't say anything anymore. "Just one more dance.."

One dance turned to two. two turned to three. Until it was past midnight and Scarlett finally took Anette home. While Scarlett felt a bit... guilty about not fulfilling her job in obeying the king.. The kings order technically had been to do what Anette told her to and that was much more satisfying than any other command fulfilling.

The blonde woman laid in her bed, almost asleep until.. "stay.."

Scarlett fulfilled her duty.
