"then leave princess I have no need for sympathy" Anna curled up and let out a small cry of pain her head was pounding and nothing they did seemed to make it stop. her own powers were trying to override the collar and it was causing her more and more pain by the moment.
 
Tatiana just looked over for a moment in time before she spoke, "Who says I am here to give sympathy. I am here to help, or try to help anyways. And do not call me that, you do not know me." Although who would have figured that as she said this Aaron himself would be sweeping into the room and the young woman moving out of the way. "Everybody. Get the fuck out. Now." Aaron spoke in a sharp voice, his eyes flickering towards even that of Tatiana, who was giving a bow of her head and hurrying out as well.
 
Anna didn't move from where she was laying not that she had the strength to do so anyways. could she feel the males anger yes she could did she care no she didn't Anna even kept her face turned from him giving him no respect what so ever. Anna knew if she didn't get access to the sun and plants soon she would be dead so there was very little he could do to her
 
"You can either continue to suffer in agony, or you can accept the gracious offer that my sorceress offered you. I am a little upset that she dared even make that offer without my knowledge or permission. Due to that, I will have to punish her for that as well. But I shall continue to extend the offer, for the time being. It is a simple offer really. The collar will be removed but, you will not be using magic whatsoever unless I state that you can." Aaron spoke in a rather bland tone of voice. This had a few of the nurses looking at each other, especially when he stated that he would have to punish his sorceress. This wasn't the first time that the man had actually punished his daughter, but usually it was just locking her in her chambers. But it could be a lot worse this time.... with how annoyed he was.
 
Anna looked at him her eyes glowing with rage " you bastard she is your child and you would hurt her because she has a mind of her onward was trying to do something nice" while Anna had been an ass to Tatiana she had like the female mostly as she could tell that she was a good person and there was something about her that seemed call to her
 
"And who says that I have any children. Fine then continue to suffer. Get her dressed and brought to the throne room. Immediately." Aaron spoke in a sharp voice, daring any of the nurses that were in the room to argue with him, with that he was leaving the room. Who would have figured that the moment he was leaving the room one could already here is raised voice. "I never gave you permission to speak to that slave, nor did I state that you could make that offer to free her. Don't be doing that again." Tatiana was actually startled when her father was raising his voice at her, even more shocked when he actually dared to slap her across he face before he was leaving. This left the young woman to just stand there with tears before she was fleeing to her chambers, and locking the door behind her so that nobody could get up into the room unless she unlocked it.
 
"there are those of us who are not as stupid as you seem to believe we are" Anna was aware of who the girl was and that she was his daughter but seeing how he treated her she was surprised she didn't end him she had the power even in her weakened state Anna could feel it. Anna used what strength she had to keep the nurses from changing her clothes as she had not interest in looking like a maid
 
Within the next hour or so, regardless of what Anna wanted, she was still dragged to the throne room and chained up next to the throne. Although since she had been stubborn... Aaron had decided that he was just going to strip her of all of her clothing so she was sitting there naked. Yes that was the type of person that he was at the time. Tatiana had eventually left her room and was sitting in the throne room as well, at her usual spot although she was sullen and silent, more so than usual at that point in time. She kept herself hidden away behind her veil as usual, although she knew that it wasn't long before she wasn't going to be able to hide.
 
Anna was laying down since she didn't have the strength to sit up but by laying down she was covering herself and making it so that she felt decent and covered even when she was bare to the whole room. Anna looked at Greg and could tell that he knew more then he was letting on about her which concerned her as she had done her best to hide in plain site to not let on that she was the only remaining elf alive.
 
"Welcome all of my lovely guests to this glorious ball. This is a very special evening because there is somebody I wish to introduce you all to. You know her formerly as my Royal Sorceress. A child born into a family which once possessed strong magics but it was locked away for many generations until her birth. But what you don't know about my beloved sorceress, is that she is my sweet daughter. I would like to formerly introduce you all to the Princess Tatiana." Aaron spoke as he rose to his feet and was sweeping over to his daughter and offering her his hand, which had her rising to her feet once again and the veil was being swept back so that it was hanging over the head, instead of hiding her face. There was a faint smile on her lips before she was giving a curtsy and spoke, "Pleased to make your acquaintance." Although already she could hear the thoughts of those around her.... deciding that she was a monster like her father. Well couldn't actually read their thoughts, but the expression in their eyes was enough. After all eyes were the windows to the soul.
 
after she was introduced Greg walked over and offered her his hand "would you care to dance princess" Greg had told the king he would ask and get the dancing starting plus he wished to apologize to her and it was easier to do when they weren't near her father so that he didn't know she had upset the female. but he was also going to see if there was some way for her to give the girl a little strength so that she could make it through the night.
 
Tatiana was still rather sullen but she kept that fake smile on her lips at that point in time. Over the years she had gotten very good at hiding her emotions, so not many people would really catch the fear that was in her eyes. Although upon Greg asking her if she wanted to dance, the answer he got was actually from the tiny black creature at the woman's shoulder, who was meowing at him. Yeah the cat seemed more like a bird, making a perch on her shoulder. Although one of the maids had helped Tatiana fashion something so that the kitten has something to lay in, which was hidden behind her long, thick hair.
 
"hello Luna looking as pretty as always" Greg then guided her on to the dance floor and spun her in to his arms "I wanted to apologize to you Tatiana I know I hurt you but I could tell that you were upset and I wanted to bring you out of it I just went the wrong way about it" Greg moved with her across the floor as they started the first dance
 
Luna just gave a happy purr before she was treating back to her little hammock like area, while Tatiana was sweeping out onto the dance floor with Greg. "My feelings matter not." was all she could say after a moment in time before she was giving a shake of her head, just focusing on the dancing at that point in time.
 
"to some they may not but they do to me" Greg looked at her and wondered why she felt that way he had heard about her getting slapped by her father and he truly felt bad for her. Greg knew that what she had heard earlier had upset her and now the thing with her father had to make it a rough day for her
 
Tatiana just looked towards Greg for a moment before she spoke, "You are one of the few in that case." With that she was brushing her hair out of her face, and then shaking away a few strands.
 
Greg shook his head "it shouldn't be a few people Tatiana it should be everyone in the kingdom" Greg didn't like that only a few people cared about her feelings when so many more should
 
Tatiana looked towards him for a moment before she spoke, "Not many people knew me. They only knew me as the king's nameless sorceress." With that she was looking towards her father for a moment in time, who definitely seemed very very irritated still.
 
"he will probably take his anger out on her after this ball" Greg knew that was usually how it went he took his anger out on the main source of it.
 
"I'm pretty sure he is more furious with me than her right now. I did make her an offer that he didn't give me permission to make." Tatiana spoke after a moment in time. It wasn't long before another woman was coming up to lead Greg off into a different dance with allowed Tatiana to return to her seat and just sit down, before she watched as her father actually went off to the dance floor to dance with a woman. "How times have changed.... What happened to the man you were." she mumbled more to herself, not really caring if the slave heard her since the woman was sitting on the ground nearby. This was definitely something that she was going to look into when she returned to her room. Soon enough she was gesturing for another servant to come over and was asking them to kindly get her a plate of food, a few sandwiches and a dessert or two, and to be sure to help themselves to something. The look of venom in their eyes didn't go unnoticed but she didn't comment on it, just went about speaking to them in a polite manner. While Tatiana was demanding she was also polite about it, and wasn't going to be heartbroken if her demand wasn't fulfilled.
 
"you did so at my request so his anger is misplaced" Greg hated dancing for the most part but dancing with Tatiana wasn't a chore and it didn't feel like it either when he was with you. however dancing with anyone else seemed pointless and annoying as hell
 
Not that Greg had really been given a choice about who he danced with, the woman being quite needy about wanting to dance with him. Almost obnoxious actually. But it was normal for her actually, she was always vying for Greg's attention. When the servant came back with the food, Tatiana was thanking them and watching them leave before she was actually getting up to offer some to Anna as well. No the woman could curse at her all she liked, but Tatiana was being nice at least. Or trying to be. "Here. Have some." she offered her one of the little sandwiches, well more gesturing to the plate so that she could help herself as she was picking up one of the sandwiches herself and taking a bite out of it, chewing it and swallowing it down. Sadly what neither of them knew was that the food was laced with a drug that would result in unconsciousness, almost like they were comatose. And the person who had done it wasn't apart of Aaron's faction or even the rebellion, just a third party wanting to cause problems. Although it was obviously meant to target Tatiana at the time, but she didn't seem to find it fishy at all even when the servant came over and went to stop Anna from eating any of the food, insisting that it was for the young princess alone. "If I feel like sharing something with another, I shall do just that." was all Tatiana spoke before she was ordering him to begone from her sight.
 
"I am not hungry" Anna wasn't in the mood for food and she was already dreading what would happen after the ball was over she could also feel the collars power starting to fade as it wasn't strong enough to counter both her powers at the same time. as time passed she was feeling stronger and found she could call out to the plants in the area and knew if needed she could ask them for help
 
Tatiana was giving a small nod of her head before she was looking towards the woman and put a light hand on her arm before she spoke, "Please don't do anything rash. I know you are upset with my father but please... for your sake, or the sake of others, please don't do anything rash. I.... May be naive to some of the stuff that my father has done but I can tell you.... he was a good man.... once. And my hope is to find that person again." With that she went to stand up so that she could return to her spot, although this is about when she could feel the effects of the drug and realizing that something wasn't right at all. Not even her own magic had really anticipated being drugged at all, honestly not many probably realized it at all. Tatiana found herself collapsing to the ground without realizing what was even going on though, her hair falling in her face.
 
Anna did act rash this time and called to the vines outside of the window then came in and grabbed her not to hurt her but to get her some where safe and away from harm. it took most o her strength to get Tatiana up off the ground and on to one of the largest ledges there was that would easily hold her and another before she had to send the vines back to where they came from . Anna then looked at the king she had a feeling she was in some deep shit when he saw or heard what she had just done
