(Synn)<br/><br/>"There's no point in me attending this charade!" Azurine snapped as she stood before Maddox who grew more irritated by the minute as he clenched his fists by his sides.<br/><br/>"You will do as you are told" he sternly replied, grabbing her by the throat and hoisting her from the floor so just the tips of her feet brushed the stone. She clawed at his hand, trying to break free as he closed his hand around her wind pipe. "You will meet this Anthony and you will offer your services. You will get close to him to find out who he is and what his plans are. I don't care if you have to bed him to do it!" he shouted, then let her drop to the floor.<br/><br/>She gasped for air, taking in deep breaths as she rubbed her neck. She glared up at Maddox and he chuckled at her before he walked out of her bedroom. She pushed up off of the stone floor to a stand and made her way to her closet. A hand maiden walked into her room carrying a gown, bowing her head respectfully. Azurine looked at the girl, puzzled as to why she was present.<br/><br/>"Madame, a gift from M-Maddox" she stuttered as she presented the gown to the dark mage. Azurine walked over to the girl and plucked the gown from her clutches. It was a deep blue, almost midnight color with stars and moons glittered in silver throughout the dress. The corset was ebony died bone and the boots were of the finest leather. It was absolutely riveting. Azurine started to undress as the girl prepared the gown to be put on. She also placed the boots to the side of the chair that was by the full-length mirror.<br/><br/>"This is completely senseless!" Azurine grumbled as she stripped completely naked, exposing every inch of beautiful pale flesh. On that smooth skin was tattooed a magnificent black and silver dragon that started at her shoulder and wrapped around her left side and back to end right over her left ass cheek. The dragon seemed to move with her in a dance, breathe every breath she took...it almost looked alive. The eyes were a golden shimmer that seemed to burrow into your soul when you looked at it. The hand maiden became entranced with the dragon until Azurine spun around and snapped her fingers, shocking the girl from the daze she found herself in.<br/><br/>"Y-yes Madame," she said as she climbed up on the chair and dropped the dress down over Azurine's head and shoulders. It seemed to slide right over her body perfectly. The girl wrapped the corset around her waist and waited for Azurine to bend over the chair so the strings could be synched properly. A few grunts and groans and the corset was in place. Azurine slid on the boots that could be drawn up to her knees. Inside were delicately placed knives in their own inner sheaths. She grinned as she looked at them. Undoubtedly they were poisoned, knowing Maddox, so she dares not touch them unless she was ready to use them. Azurine had spent years building up an immense tolerance to all the known poisons in the kingdom so she could never befall such a fate which was no easy task.<br/><br/>Azurine smoothed out the dress as it glittered. She looked at herself in the mirror and her mouth parted slightly. She had not seen such a sight in many many years. She was in awe of herself. At this moment she felt like a princess would go to her first ball. Her eyes started to water before she pushed the emotion aside and motioned for the girl to start fixing her hair.
