☠『Wynter』☠ Wynter blinked a few times at the rather excited reaction she got from Chii, which... she wasn't expecting at all. She would be like a deer in the headlights for a few seconds as she chattered about how she was learning to read. Wynter was totally unused to just regularly talking with someone, especially such lighthearted subjects as hobbies. Or things she liked at all.
"Uhm..." Wynter would try to think on anything recent she had picked up, it had been a while... Chii's little comment on her enjoying animal books made Wynter genuinely pause and glance up and... half smile because normally she'd take that as a joke. Then... she realized that was totally the kind of thing this girl would enjoy. "I liked... fairytales. Mostly. Now um... Adventure is okay... Do you have a lot of books here or something?"
The fiery girl would actually have seemed to calm down at the change, a pretty bit upgrade compared to her refusal to accept any of this earlier. ((It's so cuteee of her crying heart ))

Demitrious Varibon Reseria
Once they arrive to the training grounds of the knights, Demitrious steps out of the carriage with Kisa and looks around. Nobody is around,
"I wonder.... did they go home for the day? I don't really know their training plans or regiments, I just know they train here and people can watch...."
After looking around, he decides to walk into the building to investigate further. When they make it to the main lobby, there is nobody manning the counter. Walking up to the counter, Demitrious leans over it to see behind it, where the receptionist sits and sees a note.
"Thorival is using the exercise equipment in the back, he will be doing it all day, no one needs to be around. The rest of the knights are home for the day."
grabbing the note, Demitrious shows it to Kisa.
"If we walk further, we might find the room where Thorival is at. Did we want to?"

KisaThe Beacon of Light
Kisa blinked up at Demitrious. Uh... Why was everyone missing? When he handed her the note, her eyes flicked side to side as she read it in her head. They were out for the day.... Seemed kind of weird Thorival was the only one around. Maybe he wanted to train in peace.
"Umn... No, that's okay... We should give him privacy, h-he's probably busy..." She answered, and fully sure of herself on that. They should leave him alone.
___
"Fairytales are fun, too, but I have a hard time reading some of the words..." The bunny girl admitted, a small sweat drop trickling down the side of her face in embarrassment. Fairy tales actually were very hard, especially ones for adults that didn't have pictures. They often used really strange words, that could be hard to comprehend, let alone pronounce.
"Yes~!" Chii squeaked out excitedly, but then realized that wasn't technically true. "Aa, w-wait, I mean... kind of-! Come with me!" The chimera gently grabbed Wynter's hand and walked her out of the bedroom, and to the next room over, which was a small rec room with a sofa in it. She showed her a book shelf that was thick and nice looking... but it only contained a couple of books on it at the moment. And they were very sad looking, since the few that were there were middle-aged children level, or younger.
"These are the ones Master has bought us so far..." She picked up the odd-one-out off the shelf, which was the only adult level book out of the bunch. "This one was Onee-chan's, but she forgot it..." Chii held it out to Wynter, it was a dark fable that had a dragon etched into the cover. "This one, too..." The girl held up a leather-bound journal, that had a sinew cord that tied it closed, and there was a feather pen and ink that sat on the top of the shelf that matched it. Only a few pages had been used, which contained song lyrics that Chii had no idea how to read.
"There's cooking books in the kitchen... and Master has a lot in his office. And sometimes, if we're good, he takes us to the royal library here in the castle and lets us borrow books... but they're usually very hard to read... a-at least for me, anyway..."

☠『Wynter』☠ Wynter would think back on how she used to steal books when she was starting to branch out. It was one of the first things she took, besides regular food. It was nice, when she could curl up in her cramped closet "room" and avoid her father for a while. She would blink slowly, snapping out of her reminiscing as Chii suddenly took her hand and lead her over to the room next door.
All of this felt so strange, still hesitant about being so... friendly with someone else. It made her paranoid that she would yet again get screwed over. For now... She'd just roll with it and hope for the best. Chii really wasn't giving her bad vibes at all. Honestly... It was surprising how childish and innocent the bunny girl was so far. Her silver eyes would scan the shelf, noting the lower level of books available. It made her slightly disappointed, but she supposed something was better than nothing?
"Oh... Well I guess it's more than I had." Wynter would murmur, taking the book Chii handed to her and running her thumb across the cover. She would tilt her head gently at it, finding the cover very alluring. She would glance up at the other one Chii held up, slowly reaching for it and overlooking it. Unease settled over her heart all of a sudden. It felt... so wrong being in this other girl's place. Especially since Chii seemed very fond of whoever it was. Then again, Wynter was always the misshapen puzzle piece crammed to fit whatever spot she was put into.
"I... guess this is okay." The wintry girl would tuck a wavy strand of her gradient hair behind her ear as she studied the two books. One looked like a journal, she noted. With that pen set that just so happened to match, she was sure she was right. Her gaze would flick back up to the bunny girl, unable to help her slight curiosity. "So this... other girl. Do you know why he... replaced her?" Wynter wanted to use "thrown out", but didn't for the poor girl's sake.

Chii
Chii looked up at her, hoping Wynter would be at least a little pleased to see the sad selection of books. Usually they had a few more here, but most of them had been returned to the royal library. At least there was hope for more, right?
She winced a bit at the sudden question.... but the pet quickly realized she should have expected such a question after bringing the other slave up so many times. However it made her sad to keep remembering she was gone.
"S-Sorry, I don't mean to keep bringing her up..." Chii said, fidgetting a bit in place as she looked down at the floor. "M.. Master said he gave her to someone else... they... they got in a really bad fight l-last time I saw her, and he took her away to the punishment place... wh-when I saw him next, he said he sold her to someone else......." The chimera trailed off, honestly not sure what happened after her Master had dragged her sister-slave out of sight. Her eyes started to water, though, because it was really messing her up that Jun had just suddenly got rid of her sister, almost out of no where...

Thorival Reseria
In the training square in the outer courtyard behind the building Demitrious and Kisa entered, Thorival is swinging his sword against the target dummy. Gripping the 5 foot long Greatsword with both hands, he continues slashing away at the dummy, using great concentration to hold the sword steady as it blows against the dummy.
Sweating, he continues attacking it. Again and again. Losing himself to the only thought of swinging his sword to strike against the dummy. After a few more minutes of this, the prince sets down his sword into the ground. Moisture drips from his forehead onto the ground. After ceasing his training, the stabbing, aching sensation in his chest creeps back in again. The feeling of his stomach curling into itself as anguish kicks in. Gritting his teeth he utters quietly.
"Damn it..... Damn it...."
Remembering Kisa's face at the dinner in Aqueria, seeing how scared she was, how much she was doing her duty..... It pains him. Knowing he has his duty he must continue doing..... it feels so wrong. Why does it feel so wrong when it's both their duty? It's like their fate was to be together but the devil's hand forced it to turn sideways. Is this his reward for doing what he was told?
Gritting his teeth he lets out a weary sigh and looks up to see Demitrious smiling and waving at him, holding Kisa close to his side.
Thorival thinks these thoughts as soon as he see's them both: "I don't want to be a prince anymore."

☠『Wynter』☠ Wynter would quietly open the journal as she awaited Chii's response, also drowning in her own thoughts. She would tilt her head at what was in the leather journal, skimming through the songs lyrics it held. She glanced up at Chii to make sure she caught what the bunny girl was explaining. She sort of grimaced at the sound of that, hating the position she was in even more. It was no wonder she was the one dragged up here, if the girl before her was defiant. Total replacement is what she was... What a joke.
"I was just wondering is all. Erm..." Wynter tried to think of something nice to say, glancing down at the journal and furrowing her brows. "I uh... I'm grateful you're not being a b***h about that to me." It was as close as the girl wanted to get to saying "thank you". She closed the books, gently handing them back to the chimera. "I'll read these later, it'll be annoying if I constantly get interrupted by whatever bullshit's coming for me next."

KisaThe Beacon of Light
Kisa walked beside Demitrious nervously, finding it very uncomfortable that Demitrious was suddenly holding her so close. She wasn't completely sure why he was doing it, besides being mean to Thorival....
When her eyes flicked up and saw the look on her senpai's face, it completely confirmed her suspicions. He looked mortified. He must have felt terrible she was marrying his brother, instead of himself... He probably knew what a selfish pervert his brother was... or, at least, she assumed that, since she knew very well Thorival was fully dedicated to his knighthood. He wasn't one to waste time thinking about marriage, or having children, or even trying to take the throne.
The elf girl smiled a little, waving her hand up at him. "Hi, senpai..! How are you doing..? Sorry if we interrupted... How is the training coming along?"

Jun
"Yeah-?"
Jun's gruff voice said, his arm crossed over his chest while he stood in the door way.
"I'll interrupt anything I damn well please, slave. Don't forget your place." His golden serpentine eyes flicked to Chii's form. "What exactly are you two doing?"
Chii instantly jumped when she heard Jun's voice, letting out a high pitch 'Eek-!', and instantly throwing her hands up to cover her mouth. Oh my gosh-! He scared her-! Why did he always have to sneak up like that-!?
"W-Welcome home, Master-!" She said, feeling really nervous but not really sure of herself on precisely why. "Aa... umn... I-I was just showing Miss Wynter around the h-house, like you told me to..!"
"Wynter? So that's your name, slutcow. No wonder why you prefer your nickname, your original name sucks. And I told you to give her the run down, Chii, not play with the books. Put them down and let's go, we have s**t to teach her. Hurry it up."

☠『Wynter』☠ Wynter totally jumped out of her skin just like Chii did when she heard Jun's voice by the door. She whipped around rather quickly, tensed up and giving the male the death glare. She bit her tongue rather hard, so very tempted to tell him off like she did everyone else. Though this time... she hated the hesitance that came and stopped her.
She sort of shot a glare at Chii for outing her name, not that the girl would have known she was being pointlessly stubborn about not sharing it with Jun.
"Don't wear it out." Wynter would mutter, turning her annoyed look from Chii right back to him. It made her cringe hearing arrogant assholes actually use her name, so she sort of hoped slutcow would stick. Even if... that name was very irritating in itself.

Thorival Reseria
With an almost bewildered look, he stands back up straight and adjusts his clothing. Making his way over to them, he just gazes past both of them so he doesn't stare at either of them.
"Hello guys.... Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to prepare for the wedding? The Knights have their day off today... So I don't see why you are here... It's nice to see you gu-"
"Brother, you need to be more receptive to us being here. We are here to see you work hard to be the knight that you always wanted to be. Aren't you glad you don't have to worry about your princely duties anymore? I will be sure to take good care of the duty, I will help my father not be so... dissapointed.... Ah sorry I didnt mean to offend..."
Thorival just sighs as this was an obvious jab at him. Moving to walk past them, he pats Kisa's head as he walks past them, saying his parting words.
"Well I don't feel comfortable with you guys being here when no one else is. I would much prefer it if you visit during training hours. I will see you guys at dinner tonight...."
With a stinging heart, Thorival walks into the building, daring now show a single crack feelings. Trying to remain as stoic as possible.

Chii
"Y-Yessir-!"
She squeaked out, before freezing up when Wynter suddenly glared at her. Wait... Waiiiit... Master didn't already know her name?! Her bunny ears instantly drooped and she felt badly she had irritated the other female. She didn't have to fret too long, though, because now Jun was getting impatient and glaring right at them. Chii squeaked again and instantly started to walk for the door, nearly tripping over her own heeled shoes in her hurriedness.
Jun let out a snorty exhale, shaking his head back and forth at the two of them. They were something else. He full well knew why Wynter was irritated at Chii, but Chii was kind of.... stupid. Not kind of stupid, actually, very stupid. At least in this case there was pretty much know way for her to know that Wynter didn't want him learning her real name. But too bad.
"Don't plan to, slutcow, since I'll only use your actual name when you're in my good graces. I think it's a fairly good guess you won't earn that very often.... if at all. I'll give you another tour of the place now, hurry it up or I'll break your legs and make you crawl."
Kisa visibly winced. Even she could tell Demitrious was being catty. Why was he so... petty...? It didn't make sense to her that someone could really hate Thorival this much... She didn't know Thorival super well, but it was impossible not to like him. Did Demitrious just hate knights? It didn't make sense if he was jealous because of him being the oldest, since Thorival wasn't even trying to take the throne anyway... so why was there so much animosity? It didn't make any sense to her...
I'm sorry, Senpai...
She thought to herself, her eyes flicking uncomfortably to the ground. She wanted to out rightly ask Demitrious to explain himself, but that was a terrible idea.... so she kept her mouth shut.

Demitrious Varibon Reseria
Content with himself, the prince stands with his hands on his hips after Thorival leaves. Letting go of Kisa, he just grins to himself. That felt VERY good. The exquisite reaction that Thorival gave off was just..... something that can bring the joy out from inside. Demitrious thinks to himself:
"Ah, Thorival is a tough nut to crack, not often does he get short like that. Every little thing that gets to you is a victory to me. Continue acting all high and mighty you piece of s**t. I will show you who is the better brother. I will show you. Yay I win. I got the love of his life and there is NOTHING he can do about it!"
Letting out a content sigh, he turns over to Kisa and looks down at her.
"Have anything you'd like to say to him? If so we can head out of here and finish our errands. We will probably get home in time for dinner."

☠『Wynter』☠ Huh, guess I'll stay out of your good graces forever then dipshit.
Wynter thought with a scowl, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms as she just went along with whatever this was going to turn out to be. She sort of stuck close to Chii though, not that Chii could really "protect" her but... Would rather walk by her than anywhere near Jun.
"I'm so thrilled..." Wynter would grumble, shoving the skirt of her dress down. She was about to tear the thing off, it made her freezing to have bare legs... She would kill for her shitty trousers right about now.

Jun
As Wynter walked over to follow them, Jun raised his hand and cupped underneath her jaw. He jerked her face towards his, tilted up, and squeezed his grip around her lower cheeks to cause her discomfort.
"Don't. Roll. Your eyes. At me. b***h." The dragon said in a commanding voice, squeezing a bit harder before letting go. "I don't give a flying ******** if you like me, or not. But you will show me respect." Jun started walking down the hall and into the kitchen.
"So tell me, what are your skills? Do you have any? Can you cook? Clean properly? Anything?"
