Thread: Family Rivalries (Alexander and rwinrich)

Talula had learned from watching her father and mother how best one could manipulate others and how to garner trust. Yes, she had her guard doing as she told him but that had taken quite some time. Now when it came to actually working on her father, that was more tactful as he could generally see through someone who was trying to manipulate him. The thing that made him easier for Talula was because she had grown up with him and yet even she had been punished. It was never traditional punishment for her though, instead it was depriving her of the one thing that she needed, her oasis. This truly was her first time meeting a fae who wasn't at her height or taller. Everything her father did was the good for the kingdom, he always said that. Each fae that was to come to the masked ball was a youngster of the fae her father had been working on making deals with. This was all setup to be nothing more than a marriage of power. Talula couldn't truly say she trusted her father, his actions as of late were very questionable. This masked ball seemed like the best way to start figuring it all out for her. She smiled at his question. Yes, you will need to get new clothes. Bigger clothes too. Just visit the tailor I was at and mention my name, she will get you the needed clothes for the ball. She knew her father would hate that there was a fae not invited by him and that was another way of fighting him. The way he controlled every other aspect of her future by setting up this ball to gain more power and help to increase the fae bloodline. Talula never did notice her parents staying in the same room at night, for as long as she could remember. Her father even had other women in his room. Their marriage was exactly what he was trying to setup for Talula, a marriage for power and pure blood. Talula had known what her father was doing but she had no way of stopping it from happening. Other than to invite a pure blooded fae not approved by her father. She smiled when he called her Princess Talula. I shall be looking forward to your arrival and do make sure to stand out. Wouldn't want my father to miss you. The smile on her face after saying that showed she was looking forward to her father's outrage. Now that she had actually rebelled further against her father she was ready to go. Giving a head bow to the fae as she takes her leave. It was longer than her father had given her to go out. If she didn't head back soon, she might not have anytime in her oasis which could make her weak. Yet she had been able to find a way of getting a miniature oasis in her room, hidden from her father. Anything to keep her strength up. Climbing back into the carriage with her guard in tow. The carriage pulled away to head towards the castle. Talula was not looking forward to her father awaiting her once she was inside the castle. He would likely take her to her room and lock in her but not before berating her for staying out for so long. Something about the dangers of being out in the open, some likelihood of being captured or even killed. Being captured was likely but being killed wasn't even close. She wasn't as hated as much as her father. Last edited Oct 21, 2018
