Azula calmly walked into her throne room, a small smile gracing her lips. Not only was she able to conquer Ba Sing Se, but now the traitor Iroh was back within her grasp. And Zu-Zu... Truth be told she was mildly surprised at Zuko's willingness to betray Iroh. She barely even had to bat her eyes. Granted, very few people, not even her father, could resist her charms. Naming her heir was something she had planned long before her father even thought to usurp Iroh of his birthright.
But that was ancient history.
She sat upon her throne, her red silk dress hugging her every curve as she waited. Regardless of how he might try to Avoid it, Zuko had to face her at some point. After all, Ozai only promised him death unless he produced the Avatar (another one of her ideas) and now there was no Avatar to produce. At least not for a while. Plus it was likely that whichever earth brat he reincarnated into would die by the end of the summer anyway. In short, despite his heroic cruelty, Azula, as usual held all the cards. It took much effort to not smirk. The appearance of one of her Dai-Li snapped her out of her thoughts however as he entered the great room.
"Your majesty, Prince Zuko is here to see you. Should we send him in?"
"Please do, and then leave us," and finally her smirk shone through.
