to end the war;; 1x1w/ trots

[nocтιѕ;]

"That is understandable say. It does get tiresome to keep the perfect image in front of everyone. But, you are indeed here, where the perfect image is not needed. So, please, be yourself." Aero replied. He glanced at her when she said she wouldn't mind seeing it normally. He glanced away and thought. "In a few days. For now, I'll leave it be for my staff. They worked rather hard to prepare for your visit today." He replied. Aero chuckled about his brother. "Ah, not your type? Quite shameful, but I suppose that works out in my favour." He stated, his eyes gave a glint of amusement. "But, I suppose they do, though I never really noticed." He replied. He wanted to say something about her, but he refused to do so himself. Aero thought over her words about them sleeping together. Although he doesn't see against it, he is more worried that she would be woken with his awful sleeping patterns and the need of reminders of his mother's death. "If you wish, I won't stop you." When she told him that his head would dangle if so harms her, he gave a genuine smile to that. "Some reason, I wish to see if you could try." He replied. When she said he had kind eyes, he just ignored it. No, not really. This king learns to appear kind. Only to a few though, and this one is rather important in order for the war to be finished. He listens to her about her parents and sighs. "Possibly for an heir in the throne, but I am quite sorry to hear that." He replied. It is quite common for the kings and queen want a son, a son that could take over the throne and prove to be worthy to carry the bloodline. When she told him she will skip out, Aero nodded. "Alright. With the war ending, the castle will no longer be busy with news of what is happening, nor will I be busy with meetings on what to do." He said, a small relief appearing on his face. "We can keep exploring, where would you like to see?" He asked.

[Trots]

"Ah. It's good to hear that, but I will slowly fade into that. If I snap randomly, I don't think it will be too comfortable for you all. I have always been a strange child I suppose. I just never cared to think of it." Alicia furrowed her brow, looking to Aero. "I bet. it is quite beautiful. Much better than my palace." Her eyes were wandering everywhere. She was staring at the walls~looking for any patterns. She didn't think they would have the same stories on their walls like she had in her castle. She didn't think they'd have any at all. She soon looked away once she found nothing and she continued to listen to Aero. "No. He... I don't know if he means no harm. I do know that he just isn't... right?" His response to the situation being better in his favor made her chuckle. "Perhaps so. Yet, it is your space and I'm sure a King needs hat. Anyways.. as you've said, your workers did a lot to fix up the place. I won't waste their time. I bet the room is wonderful." She cracked a smile and nodded. "If I had the choice. I would've chosen to be a warrior for my land instead of a Princess. I always loved the idea of fighting for my people instead of sitting and looking 'pretty'." She raised a brow and smirked evilly. "I doubt I'd win with my training, but I'd love to have a duel with you any time. Also, it's alright. My family... is strange I guess? They never thought I could do much. Neither do they think i can do much now." She looked over to him when he spoke and she was surprised by how much he relaxed. Wow. Doing a simple thing probably will change his life when it comes to work... or, anything. "Ah... Could we possibly go see the horses?"

[nocтιѕ;]

xxxxAero chuckled at her response. She may think that, but the king has handled all sorts of people. But, he would leave it as it is, not willing to push the issue. "Well, alright." He replied. "Ah, I doubt that. As far I heard, you angels tend to be good at architecture compared to us demons." He replied. He glanced over to notice that her gaze flicked from one area to the next throughout the walls that surround them. "Looking for something?" He asked. He wasn't sure what it could be, but he has a feeling that it has to deal with how dull the walls look. Aero listen about his brother and her opinion on him. "Ah, that's probably because he's an angry demon. He has been like this ever since Father deemed him unfit for the role of the king. But, recently he has become quite good at hiding his emotions, so, do watch yourself with him." Aero stated and smiled softly about his space. "Well, my space is non-existent so that is alright." He replied and nodded to her comment about his workers. "That is quite admirable. I rarely hear a princess wanting to cross a battlefield for her people." He replied and saw the glint she had her eye. "You never know, maybe you have enough training to kill the demon king." He replied, amusement lighting his eyes up brightly. "Well, I suppose, you can use this marriage to rub in their face that you can do things. Though your mother may have forced you into this, if the marriage lasts for some time, it will be big in your family's eyes." He replied. He noticed how she looked somewhat surprised when he appeared relaxed about the war ending. Though, he decided not to say a word why itis such a relief to him. "The horses? Your wish is my command, Alicia." He stated, before beckoning her to follow closely.
xxxxAs he led her down the hallway, he heard tiny footsteps behind them and knew it was Alice. She really is bound to be with him today. Which is going to be a bit hard since he does need to leave the castle later, somewhere that he cannot bring Alice. No child should ever see so much wounded people, ones that are slowly dying. He looked back to see his sister catch up to his side and she instantly grabbed his hand. Aero gave the small child a small smile, before looking ahead. As they walked, the three past the library. A library that holds books from the angel side, the demon side, and even from the human side. It was quite large in the inside. "Ah.. that is the library. It's a good place if you wish to learn more about us sinners. It also has human books if you find interest in human things." He stated. He glanced over at Alicia, before turning his gaze forward yet again. He felt his sister let go of his hand and walk in front of them, causing him to slow a little. Before long, Aero had them outside and in front of the stables, that appears to be empty at the moment. He let out a small hum out and took a small dirt path down a fenced area that contains awfully a lot of trees. Each tree had a lantern to light the path for them. Within moments, the trees were gone from their vision, and the fences contained lanterns. Aero slowed down and came to the fence line, and leaned against it, let out a long whistle out. One particular horse whinnied back and trotted on over to them. "The horses are out in the pasture for a while. They are all friendly, and we can go in if you wish." He replied, as the horse came up to the fence line and stuck their heads over it. Aero raised his hand and gently pet the horse's head. "This one here is mine, been with me since I was a small child. He was a gift from my mother for my birthday." He stated.

[Trots]

She kept silent as she listened to him. The one thing she reacted to was the part of her possibly killing him. “Oh I will not to do. I’d just simply like to beat you.” She said with with a playful wink as she watched Alice walk ahead of them. The mention of the library made her curious and she nodded. “Oh. Don’t worry. I definately will be going in there.” Alicia smiled and followed him out of the castle and down towards the stable. The faint noises of winnying caught her attention and this man her smile. She followed Aero down the path towards the large pasture that held probably all the horses. She had noticed the lanterns but she was still shocked of how... different they looked. It was almost as if being in a scene in a human horror film. She truly enjoyed this. His gentle whistle relaxed her and she watched as his horse appeared from the shadows. “Oh. That’s magnificent. So very beautiful. If I were able to be near these large creatures more often, I would do so everyday.” She stepped forward yet kept her distance. She listened when he mentionef going inside and she shook her head. “Oh thank you, but I’d rather not for now. I am still somewhat frightened of them for I have heard nothing but bad of them in my castle.”

[nocтιѕ;]

"Maybe so, but one day that may be needed." He replied, his gaze flicking to her for a moment. The demon said it so casually as if it not a big that she may end up killing him. It is quite common in their bloodline that the queen slays the king if the king becomes too ruthless for the kingdom or if he completely loses control of himself. It is common around the elder age of a demon when they are around the time to die completely. Before that happens, the king appoints the next king in line when he dies. Aero focused back on the horse before him as the horse kept nudging his shoulder. A sign that he wants something to eat. "I don't have food." He murmured and pet his head. "Since you will be living here, you can. They are often in the pasture until it is close to the time everyone sleeps. We have them placed back up then." He stated, as he now noticed her distance. He listens to her explain why she doesn't feel comfortable around them and gave her a slight nod of understanding. "That is quite alright. What did they say that makes them so harmful in your eyes?"Aero asked, as he around, his back against the fence. His horse nudged his head and Aero reached behind, using his fingertip guiding him tot eh horses neck, and pat it gently.

[Trots]

“To harm the one that brings me joy?” Alicia tilted her head with slight shock of this. No no. She thought for a moment. Oh yes. She now remembered of their ways when it can be possible of a Queen to slay the King when out of control. “If that situation does occur, It’s not in my nature to hurt others. I am supposed to help others. It is simply an old-age disorder you demons get, yes? Overwhelming of power? Or simply anger management habits. It may be hard to help these situations but there is no need to simply give up and kill. If you loved the person at one point, then prove it by showing you care enough to try, no?” Her response was long but spoken carefully. She strongly believed it wasn’t right to kill another off of them being ‘stubborn’ or ‘hard to handle’. Killing should only be used when it is to protect others who truly need it.

She smiled gently from his horse continuing to nudge for food. She put her hand in her pocket and she pulled out a polished red apple she had taken with her. “He can have this.” She moved her hand out to Aero, unsure if it was alright with him. For all Aero knew, she could’ve poisoned the apple to kill one of the things most important to him. “Simply stories as a child. Many things can fear a child, no? My Morher would tell stories of our kind being ripped apart by such beings, but I don’t suppose it is true.”

[nocтιѕ;]

Aero looked over at her when she started to speak. He listen to every words stated stated and ponder over it for a moment.
"I say it out of saftey for you and the people." Aero replied. "I am not sure. If it was an old age thing, it would affect more demons and not just the royal blood. Power is a better option. They have been the king for too long that it gets to them like a parasite.." He suggested. Aero has done research, but he couldn't really figure it out. Possibly one of the books in the library have the clue. But he has gone through them several times. He must have skipped something. Aero looked away and down at his free hand, opening and closing it. 'She speaks as if she already in love.' He thought. 'That or she already felt that emotion before.' He added on to the previous thought. It is a possibility.

Aero looked up to see her hold out an apple. He said a quiet thank you, before biting into it and giving the rest to his horse. He did this to taste it, but also to ease the need to eat once more. He always been big about eating several times a day so skipping a meal once is bothering him a little. "Being ripped apart? From them? Well, that is clearly not true. It takes a lot to kill an angel, plus horses are more gentle. They only fight if they are cornered or if their love ones are on the line." Aero explained as his horse finished the apple up and shook his head up and down, a way of saying thanks.

[Trots]

“Of course this is true, but any force of negativity can be stopped with the right care and gentle hand. Patience is key, of course. If you care enough, you could even wait years to help the person in need. I wouldn’t mind doing so.” Her body posture changed and she looked very calm and happy that he took the apple. She wasn’t surprised by the bite he took before giving it to the beautiful creature. “Hungry? You should eat love. There is no reason that you should skip a meal.” She was speaking almost as if it were a command.

She listened carefully to the part about the horses and she nodded carefully. “Just like we would take care of our loved ones.” Her voice went quiet and she slowly stepped forward. The nod of his horses’ head made her step back a little but she smiled brightly with a giggle. She was formed in the outside like a woman, but on the inside... she was just a playful young girl. Even her giggle sounded young and new.

[nocтιѕ;]

Aero let out a small hum out. "Possibly so.." He murmured. "Would you really do that for someone you just met? That is a bit risky, don't you think?" He asked. Aero shifted on the fence line and looked at her once more. "Sounds like you have been love before.
Whos the angel?" He questioned. Not like he would do anything himself. Really, if he did the outcome would only be bad. But if she truly likes someone, then the king could invite him over to let her see him. Now that he is thinking about it, Aero felt as if he made a very selfish choice in accepting the deal. But he counter the thought with the thought of how many angels and demons are saved from thundering like pain of war.

He noticed that she stepped forward only to step back when his horse shook his head. "He was saying thank yiu. You can pet him whenever." Aero offered. He never heard her whisper but he knows she said something. He can only assume it was about the horses. When she giggled, Aero couldn't help hut chuckle. It was very innocent like. She is truly pure compared to him.

[Trots]

“Risky? Possibly. Though. Isn’t t all worth it in the end? To know you at least tried? To make that one person feel good?” She asked with a curious expression in her eyes. His next sentence surprised her and she smiled brightly. “Oh, no. I haven’t been in love before. No angel has done anything that has interested me enough. I am more of a lone wolf, you could say. Anyways, I can only be with two he ones chosen for me in my palace. Love only exists if you’re lucky. My Morher has no love towards my Father, and vise versa. This is only between royalty, though.” She sighed lightly from the thought of this and she shook her head.”I simply like to read stories that are on my walls.”

“Oh! He scared me for a second there.” She smiled and slowly put her hand out to the horse. Her hand was shaking but once she pressed her fingers along its muzzle, she couldn’t help but hum. She gently stroked the horse and she went up, scratching behind its ear playfully with a giggle.
