The Princess and the Peasant - (An Azula Epic)

Fire Mountain

Team Azula walked down the halls of the royal sloop while the princess strode with an unmentioned anger in her step.

Ty Lee now walked with her foot in a proper cast and a crutch onto her arm.

"You know, Azula. I am surprised that you put Nako in the same hall as us." Mai stated in a monotone voice only to find herself shivering when Azula cast her yet another cold glare.

"That's because Nako is loyal. Unlike you." Azula answered in a noticeably irate voice while the other woman recoiled over her words.

"Azula..." Ty Lee trailed off in a bothered voice only to flinch when Azula glared at her as well.

"Governor Yoko is rightfully furious with you and your treasonous family. For your sake! You had best hope that she is as forgiving as Zoi is!" Azula snapped with her arms crossed over her breasts while her two friends paled in understanding.

Mai shuddered at the mere mention of the ruthless Song clan matriarch.

The woman was known for being rigid and unforgiving much like Ozai himself.

"You really are a thorn in my ass, Mai. And I am starting to ponder if I should pick it out, and be done with it." Azula remarked in a foul tempered voice while the two noblewomen fell into an unsettled silence.

And Ty Lee couldn't help but shift on her feet over how Azula just described their friend as if she was nothing more than a bug to be crushed.

Mai said nothing in response while Azula continued walking ahead with a glower on her lips.

Only to find themselves being rescued by a random servant running up to the scowling princess.

The two women couldn't help but shiver in pity for the poor girl who had unknowingly just diverted Azula's wrath onto herself.

The servant lowered herself onto the floor as she prostrated herself before the princess's boots while amber golden eyes stared harshly down at her.

"Y-you haven't given us any work to do, Princess. I just thought to check and see if you needed us for anything. Is there something I can get for you?" Shae pondered with her face nearly touching the floor unaware that the princess was scowling at the nearest wall.

"No. I have no need for you. Scurry off. I already have my most faithful royal servant with me. She is the only royal servant that I need at this time." Azula commented in a rude voice with a snort while the young woman shifted fearfully under her stare.

"Come on Azula. You don't have to be so harsh on the poor girl." Ty Lee whispered as she nudged the spoiled woman's back while the princess released a prideful grunt.

If nothing else she hoped that Elle's presence could influence Azula into treating her other royal servants better.

"Since you are so eager to work for me. I suppose I could find work for you, girls. Go clean my throne room!" Azula ordered with a lazy wave of her elegant hand while the servant speedily nodded under her stern stare.

"Yes, Princess! We would be happy too!" The servant exclaimed as she arose in a bow while the towering woman gazed after her.

"And I had better be able to see my reflection in the flooring by the time you are through! Is that understood, servant?" Azula demanded with a huff while her friends stared pointedly at her back.

Mai turned to cast the flinching acrobat with an incredulous stare.

As if she was asking why she had to go and prompt the princess to resume overworking the unfortunate servants.
