Aella was pissed, so fucking pissed.

She had already had to tell off one of her subjects to stop seducing a random man. The pens of crowded cattle and barn animals were getting fuller by the day. Not only had that already been enough, a man tried to steal another woman—right in front of her. She almost burned the man into ashes. Gods give her patience.

She sighed, rubbing her forehead while sitting on her lavish throne, a large golden throne with painted flowers and vines, and beautiful portraits above it. One of her subjects fed her fruits, a grape falling into her mouth with ease. The nymphs and women busied themselves as they talked and gossiped, as she glanced at the nervous servant cleaning nearby.

“Fetch me some wine will you?”Aella ordered, glancing at the servant as if waiting for them to scurry off and do as told.“Well? You serve me for a reason and I’m giving you one. Go get me some wine.”She ordered.
