A Single Throne

"Petition? One does not simply petition the Quee-"

"Easy, daughter dearest. Let me address this."

Mileena's gaze burned, but she settled back down into the throne, mainly owing to her mother's hand acting as a calming presence upon her thigh. Sindel cleared her throat and squared her jaw, as if willing herself into calm, before leveling her gaze at the new arrival.

"Peasants. I am aware we have opened for more public... input, but that does not mean anyone can barge into the throne room at any point - never mind levy such outrageous claims against the royalty."

"The dungeons, mother. They are terribly empty-"

"Listen well, peasant. It might be true that my daughter has an immense penchant for harlotry-"

"Mother!"

"-but these are none the less matters that are exclusively to be resolved behind closed doors. While I understand that you are beyond your wits from desire owing to her unquestionably nymphomaniac dressing-"

"... mother."

"-what you ask is simply not appropriate to be openly proclaimed in this manner. I suggest you do like the rest of the men in the kingdom and go frequent the dockside bars, where she is known to spend her time spreading for-"

"Mother."

"effectively any- Yes, yes. What is it, dearest?"

"The petition was for you, not me."

Sindel's gaze snapped from the peasants over to Mileena, and then back again, the motion repeating a few times before she, slowly, settled on them once more. Straightening her back, her cleavage miraculously not spilling free from the motion, she fixed the small gathering with a glare and let a few seconds pass.

"... what was that about the dungeons, daughter dearest?"

Wednesday wallpaper! I intend to feature wallpapers in pairs as much as possible, owing to the gallery having widened significantly over the past year or so, which makes for some interesting dynamics between characters at times. Set up a few variants whipped up for this one, including a maskless version of each for those that have a preference for Mileena's lovely smile :)

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for all of your kind words! Autumn keeps marching ahead with the weather now much more bearable, though the rains have come too, so there's always the trade-off of getting wet when I go running and having to rush back on home to nurse myself free from colds, but I still do much prefer it to the scorching heat of this summer. In that sense, I hope you are similarly treated to your most favorable weather, wherever you might be.

Take care of yourselves, and each other!
