"You should inspire child and why punish you for such a gift from the goddess herself," the Lord amused. She looked at her son Razor. "I heard," she looked back at the girl. "That the issues of the punishment has been taken care of. You need not fear your family again. As for your stay, you may stay as long as you want since you are a shifter blessed by our dear mother goddess. It'd be an injustice to harm you when she has blessed you so well."
She wave her hand and a glass of wine materialized in her hand out of thin air. "My dear... fortune has smiled upon you."
"Enough mother..." razor stepped away and went to the girl. "Come on.. let's go.." The mother just smiled and watched as her son tried to get the girl to go. "Let's go and rest okay? This is too much for you at the moment."

Lia cocked her head a little not understanding why she wasn't keen on hurting her when so many others had. If she was so 'blessed,' why did her entire life happen? "Thank you my Lord.." she replied pressing her ears back as Razor came to collect her. She was still mad at him for leaving her to deal with his mother like this, but at the moment she'd rather deal with him than stay in this room a minute longer.
"Lead the way.." She pressed up against his leg making no sign to shift back. She just wanted out of this place.

Razor waited for confirmation she'd follow and once she did press against his leg, he moved away her and walked back down the stairs ignoring the eyes on his back. His mother's especially. "Don't...talk to them unless I'm present okay," he told her slightly annoyed at how they had treated her. Damn his mother had become such a bitch since his father had died. She was so controlling over simple things and she seemed to want to have a dick but was short.
"Are you okay," he asked once they were away from them.

Lia scampered after Razor needing no push to leave. She was more than willingly to get out of the room with those two after that meeting but once she was alone with her 'savior,' it wasn't that much better. She hugged to his legs not wanting to leave much of his side. If he wasn't careful, it was easy to trip over her considered she was practically trying to hide between his legs as he walked. "I won't," she replied warily. The last thing the girl ever wanted was to meet those two again.
She nipped at his ankles in reply to his question. "You left me to deal with your mother and brother's snide comments. How do you think I am?" He said nothing while she was harassed for a life she had no control over by his family. That went over so well.

"Pretty bad, but I am not allowed to speak out for that," he told her. "Mother's word is law and brother kisses her ass cause he's hoping to take her place." He looked down at the small wolf hoping she'd understand this. he was just a prince and he couldn't speak out against his mother. Didn't she understand this? He petted her head softly and lead her back to her room and opened the door for her.
"I'm really sorry about that..."

Lia flattened her ears when he pet her, but turned them back forward realizing he wasn't trying to hurt her. He was trying as much as he could. She could see it, but still didn't know how to act with him. After meeting his family... He was the safer horse to bet on right now. The other two were more willing to send her back to her old life than he was at the moment. Best to keep in his favor.
"Next time, let's not do that again..." she replied as she weaseled her way between his legs and stayed there just wanting comfort despite the door being open for her. She didn't want to be alone for fear his family would do something to her, but she would never ask him to stay. Lia didn't know him and he had other things to do. Reluctantly, she slinked back into her room glad to return to the comfort of the room.
"I don't want to ever meet your family again.. No offense." Considering the number of times they insulted her, it was easier to just count the times they said anything remotely neutral.

"My family means well and sadly as the leaders of the realm they are the ones you have to meet here and there in order to actual get anywhere," he told her a bit worried of how it'd be taken as he watched her get comfortable. "Look if there is anything you need just let me know okay?"
He wasn't sure what to do for her. He wasn't that good at this... He was still new to this helping thing but she needed him. If he didn't help her how would? He sighed and petted her once more. "It'll be okay..."

"Bringing up a past I had no say in isn't much help." she growled as her ears fell flat. She didn't want anything to do with them. Not for a long time anyways. "I don't want to get anywhere. All I want is to be left alone. If I had it my way I wanted to be dead, but you wouldn't kill me and end that pain." Her fur puffed up as she got irritated with him. She didn't need anything. Her world was different from his where there was structure and order. Connections made things happen. Her, connections dictated her food rations. Now she got to eat without limitations and whenever. No sharing a bed, no abuse, nothing. She was happy like that. Couldn't he see that?
As usual, Lia spooked when he pet her, but calmed down to let her fur lay flat enjoying the small bit of affection. She even nuzzled her head into his hand a bit before realizing what she did and jumped away like a spooked cat. "..I'm good for now Razor.. Thank you." She fled back into her room before shifting back to her human form and stretching out. She figured Razor would close her door and leave her be soon enough. He seemed to give her space when she was in her room. Lia went to her bed to curl up. Once under the comfort of her sheets, she hid herself from the world as she tried to not break down crying from the meeting with his family.

He stopped and watched her walk away; his eyes wide unable to understand what she had said. She wanted to die? Why? Was it really that bad? His breathing became irregular as he watched her walk away and shift back into her human form. The prince watched her curl under the covers and he almost left, but instead he found himself walking forward and he climbed on the bed and laid beside her, wrapping his arms around her. He didn't get under the covers. He didn't want to scare her. She seemed touchy about men and touch. He understood why from what he had gathered about her. He wouldn't force anything on her and make it worst.
"Lia," he began softly. "I'm so sorry... I didn't realize they would do that okay? I'm use to it. I have thick skin. I forgot how cruel they can be to people that are not able to take insults. I'm sorry I put you through that...." He paused and sighed as he magically shut the doors to the room so she could have privacy. "Let me make it up to you... Tomorrow would you be my date to the festival nearby? There is a temple and all the great mages appear there to put on a show. It is a magic show that brings all the old legends to life and I'd be honored if you'd accompany me so I would not have to go alone."
He tried to make sure it sounded more like she was doing him a favor them him ordering her. He wanted her to have a choice in the matter. He only hoped she said yes.

Lia froze as the unbelievable happened. Her blood turned cold as she felt someone else was in her bed again. Worse, they were holding her. She started to freak out not realizing it was Razor until she poked her out from under the sheets to see him beside her coupled with the familiar grip he seemed to use with her. No aggression, no force. Even his voice was calm as he addressed her. She settled back down eyeing him warily. He never came in here uninvited. Were the rules finally changing?
Her expressions softened as he spoke. He was... apologizing? The concept was foreign to her since no one ever had, or at least meant it but there was a softness when he addressed her that made her want to believe him. He hadn't intentionally caused her harm since being with her. Maybe he hadn't meant for that to happen. Lia started back at him unsure what to think of his proposal. There would be people.. How many would she have served be there? "..I'm not sure if it's a good idea... but if you want I'll go with you," she replied hesitantly. "Sounds like fun." She hadn't seen much magic and if she had, it was when she was too young to remember. Maybe it would be okay. He seemed to protect her when they were together for the most part.

Razor smiled at her as she slowly warmed up to the idea. He reached down and grabbed her head softly in his hands and kissed her forehead. "Thank you," he told her softly as he let go of her and climbed back out of the bed after a moment kind of embarrassed he had done that to begin with. The smile grew a bit as he thought of something. "I'll have the servants bring you a proper dress for a princess for the festival okay? And don't worry I'll be there every step of the way to keep all those men off you. Tomorrow you are my date and I don't share unless they're willing to pay with their life."
He chuckled softly and looked amused. She'd be safe... He'd make sure of it. He walked over to the door and grabbed the handle. "Just come get me from my room if you need anything or get scared okay? I don't mind." He opened the door and stepped out.

Her heart started racing as she felt him grab her head unsure what he was doing. The entire moment was so foreign... She closed her eyes enjoying the affection. No aggressive kisses or holding, but everything was gentle. She opened her eyes to watch him as he pulled away and left her once more. "Thank you Razor..." She replied sheepishly. Why was he so gentle with her? He treated her like a normal demon despite her strange tendencies. It intrigued her.
Part of her wanted to tell him to return. She felt safe with him even if he was in her bed, but she couldn't bring herself to ask him a request like that. It wasn't her place to even if he told her otherwise. Her nerves were still on edge from his mother. "I will. Thank you." She nuzzled back into her bed to curl up realizing he was leaving her for sure this time. What would tomorrow bring? Nothing seemed smart about going, but he wanted her to go for some reason and it sounded like fun... Maybe it would be okay.

Once he was sure she was settled, he walked back over to his room and shut the door. There he pulled off his shirt and then pants before climbing back into bed himself. He wanted to enjoy the day with her tomorrow. Maybe it would allow her to trust him more. It was a tiny step to get her to agree, but he was glad he was going to get this chance. He curled up under his blanket and slowly went to sleep.
The next morning he got up and bathed. Then got dressed in formal wear with a red shash around his wasit. black pants, and a black shirt with red runes across the sleeves, shoulders and back. Then he went to knock on Lia's door.

The next morning came all too quickly. Lia remained curled up in bed not wanting to get up, but she promised the prince she would attend this festival with him. Reluctantly, she bathed and changed in the elegant dress the hell wolves had brought for her. A long black dress that faded to red with red accents. She fixed her hair as best she could when the familiar knock came at the door. Her stomach clenched, wanting to flee but it was too late.
The girl opened the door to greet the prince with a shy smile. Regardless of the garments, she felt like the cheap whore she always had been. Why he wanted her with him was beyond her. "Razor," she said wary to meet his eyes. He looked good, but she didn't know her place enough to make such a comment.
