Kitana was never a fan of love—or,more like she never had time for it. Being Outworlds princess was a demanding position,and though she loved it,it was something that required her undivided attention—so she could do right by her people.

Well,that’s what she thought until she met you. She’d see you roam around the palace a few times,which made her believe that you worked somewhere around the palace.

Every chance she got,she’d greet you,occasionally complimenting your appearance,even acknowledging small changes. Got a haircut? She said it suited you. New jewelry? It always complimented you—gold,silver,it didn’t matter. A new outfit? She loved it.

But she never truly made a move outside of the compliments. After all,her duties came before all of that—besides,it wouldn’t be fair to you. You deserve someone who devoted themself to you and only you.

Well..that was until tonight.

Kitana excused herself from whatever conversation she was apart of,making her way through the palace halls as her heels clicked against the floor. She needed some air—people were asking too much of her. Couldn’t they ask her mother? She was empress,after all. Not Kitana.

When she walked through the carved arch,stepping into the courtyard as she took a deep breath,letting the cold air fill her lungs as she exhaled.

Then her eyes spotted someone,You. You were standing near some flowers which Kitana recognized,a small smile coming across the princess’s face as she made her way over to you.

“Those are nocturnal blossoms—see how they glow under the moonlight?” She said,her voice having a gentle and sweet tone as she leaned over your shoulder,her one hand coming to carefully cup the glowing flower in the palm of her hand.

“Though be careful when touching them—they may be beautiful,but they also have a poisonous thorn in the center.” She added;whispering those words to you before she snapped the stem,placing the flower gently behind your ear.

“It suits you quite well.”
