Accurately Exaggerated (Tangerine and noble_lance)

[Tangerine]

While planning to study some plants outside in the wilderness, a certain matter kept the Hylian Princess in the castle. In the grand throne room, seated in her esteemed position, she held a sizable painting, which she gazed at intently while inspecting it with a frown. It was a painting of her. And one could tell from her thick, golden brows that she wasn’t quite happy with the particular way she was depicted. She herself would say that some of her curves were greatly exaggerated in the painting, while others could argue that they were only slightly exaggerated, and mostly accurate.

Funnily, she was in the same outfit seen in the painting. Her taut brown leggings, long sturdy boots, white blouse, and blue waistcoat. It was surely more practical than her royal dress when it came to venturing outside.

Tilting the portrait around, she examined the work from different angles. “That certainly is not how I look…” her narrowed eyes scanned the hip region, which the artist seemed to have wanted to put the emphasis on. “Unbelievable…” As the guard she called for approached her, she sighed, finally laying the painting across her lap. “Perfect timing.”

Aether was one of the Princess' guards and the longest serving for her despite his age. He was only a few years older than her as he served as her current protector. It made it easier at times given her need to explore to have someone who could pose as a companion rather than a guard. When he heard her words he'd hasten his step just a bit.

Here he'd see her with the painting, the painting that was done of her in the same outfit she had been in. It had showed and taken stock of her very noticeable, very shapely backside. "Yes princess how may I serve you?" He asked her respectfully.

Although she was hesitant about it still, Zelda hastily held up the painting, turning it around and leaning it against her body. Basically, showing it to her trusty guard and friend. "As you can obviously see, it's come to my attention that there are unauthorised portraits of mine wandering around the neighbouring towns," she said. Technically, there was no rule against art in Hyrule, and she probably would have been OK with it had she been drawn slimmer, but as it was, she seemed bitter about holding the framed artwork. "I want this issue to be addressed at once," she nodded.

Aether looked at the woman and then blinked as he saw the painting there in her hand and then thought about it. "I mean my lady there is nothing opposing art of a royal... certainly one that's of you being fully dressed and properly clothed. If it was of you in the naked..." He stated and then glanced at her.

"We can certainly look into it princess, but are you okay?" he asked not really getting that she was upset that her accurately captured thick backside was on the canvas.

[Tangerine]

"So you're implying that I should have waited for them to picture their princess without her clothes?" she narrowed her grass-coloured eyes. Instead of admitting that she might have put on some weight during these stressful days weeks before the ceremony, it was easier to blame the artist for curving their brush more than necessary for her. "Well I can't be quite okay when my people portray me in such a fabricated manner," while holding it, she tapped a finger onto the canvas. "You're seeing this right?" she asked. "Also, find the artist and promptly issue them with the spectacles they most certainly seem to need."

[noble_lance]

"Princess, what is the specific issue with the portrait?" He asked her with a tilt of his head as he had been seemingly a little concerned with her reaction to all this but he had felt nothing had been off. THe only thing that was noticeable was her incredible backside that had certainly not been unappreciated in his thoughts as he glanced at her.

A pleasant smile, sun-illuminated golden plaits, and expressive eyes. Regarding the top part of the illustration, things were actually admirable for the princess. According to her, the artist should have stopped right around the waist though. No. It wasn't necessarily about someone painting her bum, she had one after all. Rather, it was about how wide it looked. And full also. "I thought guards were more attentive than that.." Zelda suggested, letting out a sigh. "Can't you see the glaring issue here?" blinking, she asked. "I don't happen to be this," she looked at the painting again, "generous. Do I?" Extending her arms, she gestured for him to get the painting in case he needed to inspect it closer.

[noble_lance]

He looked at the woman and then as she seemed to be talking about the painting and then sighed softly. "Princess... I think I know what you are getting at, but well I still have some modesty as your knight. So do I have permission to speak freely to you?" He asked he always asked even she seemed to speak casually to him. He realized her eyes were going right to her thick bottom on the painting.

[Tangerine]

"I try to be modest too," Zelda claimed, "which this portrait clearly fails to display." Her bum shifted some in her seat as she folded one leg over the other. "Yes, of course," the blonde Hylian responded quickly. "Speak your mind, dear knight," she nodded. Freedom of speech was a principle she would have claimed that everyone in the kingdom should be allowed to have. There were some boundaries, of course. Though, remarking on the princess’ figure wouldn’t be outside of said boundaries. "I value your frankness."

[noble_lance]

Aether looked at the woman and gave her an awkward smile before nodding his head to her. "Thank you Zelda." He sighed softly. "As for the portrait, I have to tell you that it is well.... accurate, every detail of it." He explained before pointing at her. "It's just the first time you've seen your butt not on your body."
