Ward of the Roses

[Master_Germish]

Kale had been born just as the war began to heat up, The Lancaster and York families had committed their first war crimes against each other, simple assassinations for control of the Throne of England. The odd thing about it was it was an assassination of submissive males; Clearly not successors to the throne as they had no ability to lead, but it still created enormous tensions and the two families began to call upon their alliances to form an army to destroy their opposition. Kale had been born under the York or White Rose Family and had lived a rather open life being a child still unknown in society whether to be a submissive or to be a dominant. In society there were only two options, a dominant which controlled the world and controlled all wealth and positions in society and the submissive which stayed at home and focused on making their dominate happy. Kale had become a clear dominant at the age of ten when he began to gain arrogance and pride and even went as far as commanding a few submissive children in school. Kale had gone through his teenage years learning the ins and outs of being a dominate male in the York house and it had created a very nice life for himself with multiple business throughout the country and tight alliances to the other powerful families of the country and even a few families across the strait in France.

Kale was now twenty-three and a successful businessman, but there was one problem, he would be getting a ward. It was not a large deal in Society as with the upper houses if a submissive lost their dominating parent they were given to another dominant to train and take care to make sure they were a good Submissive and were going to please the Dominant that wanted them. Kale's Ward was Emily WestCliffe, her parents were killed by mercenaries working for the Lancaster's a mere week ago and already she was being transferred under Kale in order to be trained as there were inclinations that she was a submissive. Kale was cautious and took it to be a great honor that he gets to train a submissive as his ward, although he knew that he would have to give her up eventually.

Kale was waiting next to the entrance of his home as he saw the girl and her guards approaching him from the distance and he said nothing and only waited for the troop of men and the lone girl to approach him and greet him properly. Hopefully she had some training, Kale was completely unprepared for training of a fresh ward.

The winter had been hard on Emily.

She stared out the narrow window of the carriage she rode in as the world passed away. It felt like summer was so far gone. Summer time chasing after her older siblings through the forrests and medows around their family's country estate. It had been more than a year, she knew. Her older siblings had been too busy for games the past two summers but Emily held onto those golden days the two summers after she'd been deemed a submissive when her dominant siblings would take her with them to go exploring their old haunts.

Their behavior had changed, like everyone else's, in those days. While they'd encouraged her to run and jump and climb and explore on her own as a child, encouraged her to always try everything by herself first before helping... those two years one of them had always been by her side. There had always been a hand to pull her up to join them or to steady her as they went. A voice in her ear had instructed her to steady her aim as they practiced archery, an old family sport and skill for hunting in the woods, and she'd been praised when she found berries and gave them to her brother.

She knew the change and what caused it but she didn't feel like a caged bird in those days. She'd felt safe. She'd felt loved and protected and like even if she became disoriented they would be sure she was never lost.

She'd felt like a trained falcon not a caged bird.

No, not until life stole in like a thief in the night and took her forresting clothes and left behind fancy dresses and uncomfortable shoes and "by your leaves" and embroidery hoops.

Another sigh. The carraige stopped and a man opened the door, helping her out of the carriage and she took one last look up to the sky.

Looking at her she seemed what you'd expect of a high born submissive. Her features and buidl were delicate, stature short, mouth and eyes soft set in her face. Her skin had always been pale, requiring a constnat parade of hats and scarves during her young adventures as even then just thinking of the sun too long seemed to result in a sun burn that peeled away with no tan to show for the pain, but the black mourning dress made her seem paler. Pale golden hair done up and half hidden under a black veil completed at least a proper image for first meetings.

She'd been under her sister's care since her parent's death but her sister had a submissive of her own and couldn't provide the oppritunities this Kale could afford her.

She wasn't pleased about being sent to a stranger but after the stinging cheak she'd received for her arguments and the pained look in her sister's eyes for having to strike her... she'd at least obeyed as long as it took to get herself presentable.

She eyes as blue as a shattered sky back toward the earth. The winter had been hard and the summer was long gone but spring was returning soon. Maybe.

Lowering her eyes but keeping her chin up as was proper for a submissive of her social standing Emily followed the footman leading her into the house and upon introduction to her new guardian made a deep curtsy. She was greatful at least that practicallity, fashion, and propiety met at an uncomfortable understanding that while someone of her wealth and social standing was expected to wear dresses fitting for said wealth and standing when traveling in public they made kneeling a difficult process and rising even more difficult and a deep curtsy would suffice until she was wearing something a little less cumbersome.

She only hoped this man didn't subscribe to the idea a corset and the work submissives were expected to do made a great combination for anything other than fainting.

She resisted the urge to look for a fainting couch and mentally bit her tounge. She doubted he'd enjoy her sarcasm. Few dominants did.

Kale remained standing where he was, his wrists crossed behind his back and his eyes never moving from the sight of her carriage, he watched closely as it moved ever closer to him and he could not help but notice the petite pale thing inside and his thoughts were confirmed when the carriage, stopped in front of him and out stepped Emily Westcliffe. Kale had only gotten letters about her from her elder siblings and when he saw her he could not help but smile as every description he had got was damn near spot on. She was pale, but not on an unattractive way, but simply in a manner that let anyone know she was royalty and had never spent a day of her life toiling in the hot summer sun. He looked over her body slowly and carefully, his eyes could be seen moving up and down her as she moved to him. He was pleased with her form, she had perky breasts and a round ass, to things that most male dominants look for in their submissive, after all they are to be using them for pleasure as well as other activities so they have to look good. Kale saw that she held her chin high and her eyes lowered on the ground and he secretly sighed on the inside; She had some training. He watched her as she curtsied for him deeply. He lowered his head slightly in acknowledgement of her curtsy and silently giving her permission to rise from it. When she did he said nothing but walked around her slowly in one full circle moving like a bird of prey would when stalking its victim. He stopped once more in front of her but this time he lifted her chin up a bit more, exposing more of her pale neck and he looked to see the markings of a collar and when he saw none he knew that her siblings were different than regular dominants, they must have expressed a bit more freedom with her. Kale would have a hard time training that out of her, but he had taken her so he was dedicated.

Finally Kale opened his mouth and said. "It's nice to finally see you in person, Emily. Your siblings have told me nothing but good things and I hope that is all I get from you. My name is Kale, but you should know that sir will be all you address me as unless your in dire need. Now, follow me." He said simply as he turned and walked into his home, dismissing her guard now that she was in his protection they were not needed. Once inside he let her go in front of him and he closed the door behind her, locking it and then he moved past her once more and moved her through the three story home. He first entered the living room and simply said. "This is the living room, during your free time feel free to lounge about." He then moved through an adjacent archway into a regal room with silver and gold leafing throughout as well as a raised ceiling and from the ceiling hung a giant chandelier. He stopped and said. "Formal dining room, all meals will be served here when I have guests." He looked to make sure she understood before moving through a swinging door into the kitchen and he pointed out each appliance withing before moving through the kitchen and down a hallway where there were a few doors, he took the time to explain that they were bedrooms and bathrooms for his guests and then he got to a staircase and walked up it. On the second floor he showed her more guest accomidies as well as his large library. Then another staircase and up they went. Kale reached the top and let out a deep breath and said. "Emily, this is our living quarters. Both of our bedrooms are located on this floor as well as our wardrobes, my office, and a bathroom for each." He explained and then moved down the singular hallway, he stopped at the first door on the right and opened it, revealing a large regal room, once again it was light with gold and silver accents. Off to the side was a large bed and he said. "This will be your room. Bathroom is the door to the right of the bed and wardrobe is on the left. Kale then closed the door and moved to the second of the three doors in the hallway and opened it revealing a similar room to hers but this one was a bit larger and was decorated in reds and grays. He nodded and said. "This is where I will sleep." He then moved on, not wanting her to know what else he had in his room and finally they reached the two large doors at the end of the hallway and he opened them and strolled in as it was his office and directly in front of the doors, across the room, were two huge french doors that led out to the patio and he moved to his desk and straightened things saying. "This is my office and where all financial records are kept. Now, go change into something more suitable for the home and meet me back here." He said simply before sitting down behind his desk and opening up a book, looking over his notes and records.
