When the doubts begin to whisper

Sirius didn't let himself hesitate in accepting this new freedom. Belle smiled, watching him as he realized all this meant for him. He lost a bit of his stoicism and the Empress allowed herself the glimpse into her beloved. She couldn’t help the loving gaze she bestowed upon him, though she knew the action would hurt all the more later. He renewed his vow to her, and Belle couldn’t help the way her heart fluttered as he returned to her side and kissed her paw. Their strict lines to follow were blurred once more as she hesitated slightly, but reached out to nuzzle into his thick black fur for only a moment. Taking in his scent and further tempting herself down a dangerous path.

She retreated quickly as he brought his head back up and spoke more about her little handmaiden. Deathbelle didn’t miss the fond way her Samurai spoke of her, she tried not to be a jealous woman. However, the information was filed away for later. Delicate paws carried her forward as Sirius asked her to clarify his duties. ”I would like you to continue attending to me,” she started with the obvious. ”Also take up more patrols. I’d like you to train more closely with Harbringr.” The two Samurai would need to be able to rely on and work with each other. ”Eventually I’ll expect you to take an apprentice.” Belle loaded up his plate.

With all of the tasks she wished from him he wouldn’t have near as much time to think about Zee. ”My end goal is to see you take your place as a Daimyo.” The Empress admitted, magenta gaze finding his features to see his reaction.
