Maleficent was heartbroken over what his rage and pain had done. Somehow his curse had hurt the one truly good honest human he had ever met and he felt such despair for the other male. All he wanted was to bring him back to the forest where he knew the other would be safe and sound and away from all those who would ever hurt him or treat him poorly ever again.

One of said people was arriving at the castle as Maleficent feared for his precious ward. Phillip was just as cruel and heartless as Aurora's parent's and he was also completely wrapped up in his own vanity to care about anyone or anything. He wanted Aurora because the princess was just another price to be claimed and he was perfectly happy with the idea of breaking the other to his whims entirely.

The servants twittered excitedly because they heard the trumpets outside, signaling Prince Phillip's arrival and they grew even more frenzied in their attempt to dress up Aurora. The other picked out a lovely modest dress and the servants believed him to be very clever because he would certainly stand out in his simple finery over all the other ladies of court who would be wearing their most gaudy and audacious outfits to attract the eye of the prince. Aurora's natural beauty in such a simple garment would shine all the brighter.

"You will be so lovely! The prince will not be able to keep his eyes off of you!" They gushed and began helping Aurora undress and then dress, primping and tying and doing everything imaginable to make sure that the other was as ready as possible for his first encounter with the prince. The servants truly didn't see that Aurora was upset and wouldn't understand why he would be upset over what they considered to be an animal at best and a monster at worst.

Aurora worried the inside of his cheek when he heard the trumpets blared. It was taking longer than he’d hoped for the servants to help him prepare. The prince was unaware that his choice would spotlight him among those of the court, possibly even from his parents. Given that he wished to return to the forest, Aurora thought that the simple clothing would afford him less attention and allow a chance to plan a way back to the forest, if not escape completely from the palace and his…parents.

Once his appearance was set, the two servants who had escorted him from his father herded him out of the room, where guards waited for him. Now flanked by guards along with those two servants, Aurora was guided down to the main entrance. His parents were already there, along with the ‘important’ ministers, and in the midst of greeting Prince Philip and his retinue. Aurora glanced down at the group from above, unsure of which was his supposed fiancé.

The entourage that surrounded Aurora led him to his parents side and didn’t disperse immediately as they often did, instead lingering in the background.

The blond young man stood a little separate from the king and queen, the king’s torture of that poor fae still stuck in his mind. Aurora truly, desperately hoped that Prince Philip was nothing like his parents when it came to the fae. Yet he could only offer the retinue a small smile, unable to muster anything more.

The servants, the guards, and everyone who saw Aurora on his way to the main entrance couldn't help but feel a little stunned by his beauty. The other truly was a gem and the king and queen were lucky to have such a lovely heir. To bring such a prize would make sure that their kingdom and the prince's kingdom would be allies for a good long while and would ensure that peace would reign. Not one of them could see how desperately unhappy Aurora was and certainly there was no one who would be able to understand why the other would be unhappy.

His parents smiled at him frostily and then returned their attention to the prince's retinue. The prince hadn't greeted them yet, surely waiting to make sure they had his bride in hand.

Sure enough, once Phillip saw Aurora he finally appeared, moving through his throng of courtiers, servants and guards to bow elegantly in front of the king and queen...and most important of all in front of Aurora. Phillip was handsome, with golden brown hair and dark green eyes, there was a shrewdness and intelligence to his good looks that made him even more intriguing. "It is an honor to meet you all...especially you Princess Aurora." His voice was silken and his eyes glimmered like jewels.

Prince Phillip wasn't like Aurora's parents when it came to fae, in some ways he was far worse. He viewed them as lesser beings that were perfect for one thing, pleasuring their betters. He had several pleasure servants among his company, some of which were fae and were completely enslaved to his will and his cock. He was hoping to turn his future bride into his slave as well. He had no use for a queen who had opinions.

"I know this is sudden but I hope we can get to know each other before the ceremony." He smiled charmingly, his lips quirking up playfully.
