For now, enjoy this one after so long!

The pure look of confusion etched on the charming face of Snow White was adorable in Dominic's still glowing silted eyes. Her brown eyes glowed with life and color; her ebony short hair shone in the light while her fair skin made her rosy red lips stand out.
She really was the fairest of them all.
"Your confusion is cute, though I do believe that I indeed owe you and explanation." Dominic's calm and gentle voice broke the daze of the poison apple princess.
"Ah? Ye-yes, I believe so my Lord… But that is if you wish." She stammered a little from all, not having her head in right just yet.
Snow White's voice was soothing to the ear, almost akin to soft silk being brushed by a gentle breeze, it was almost inhuman.
Perhaps that bond made her a little more than a normal being, something that he had to look into a little later, he knew she was so much more now that she had her essence and being tied to his.
Still things to look into later, for now however.
"First things first, let's place something that you need to know. You are not my slave, hence you don't have to call me my Lord or any of those titles, instead call me by my name; Dominic." He ended gentle with warmth in his tone as the glow in his eyes died down but having them remain silted.
He wanted a woman, princess and a lover as well as many in between. Not an automaton.
Though his draconic aura had a charm to it that increased favorability towards his princesses, the bond was akin to a marriage of the soul, while not entirely. They where like symbiotic, with him having a dominant position, something that was now clear to him once he had performed it.
For him to have her fall for him, he would have to do things the old traditional way, still the aura helped increase charm it didn't brainwash or mind control, unless someone had high level trauma of course making him appear different in their perspective.
But the chances of that happening was very low right?
Right?!
"Ah, understood…D-Dominic." Snow, replied hesitantly with a flush as Dominic stared at her. To which he gave a brighter smile when she did.
"Excellent!" He called out letting her out of his arms.
Snow while mildly reluctant, took a look at the her surrounding for the first time and she was left speechless for the second time in her life for such a short amount of time.
Standing before them was an huge, otherworldly looking place that was glowing under the light of the moon and stars, akin to a place that belonged to celestials or divine beings.
"This is my home, even I myself get mesmerized by its beauty." Dominic added by her said softly.
This palace was made from materials and designs that were picked up from realms across different universes hence its otherworldly touch.
"And now it is your home to from now own until the both of us cease to be." He concluded gently as Snow White's pupils widened in realization.
Finally, she had a home. A place to be and stay with someone that really wanted her.
Tears started to pull in her eyes as her emotions got stuck in her throat, Dominic who was paying close attention to her all this time noticed her instantly and without missing a beat pulled his first princess in his arms, this time not carrying her, but giving her a tight embrace.
This allowed all those emotions that had been repressed, bottled up and pushed back to burst open like a dam.
She cried. A cry of pain, lose and abandonment. She couldn't believe it all that her only relative wanted her dead, she couldn't believe that the man she loved was with this woman, she had no one left until this being stepped out of the darkest moments of her life and became this warmth and light, she would serve and be with him always and forever, to her he was her everything.
Forever her Lord.
Dominic could feel her chaotic emotions run rampant, he felt a small burst of magic in her try to destroy her surroundings, but it was light a breeze that barely tossed a strand of his hair.
'Curious.'
There was still much to learn about his draconic bond, but those tests would be for tomorrow as he could sense her calming down and shift into a phase almost similar to that one he would often sense in Cinderella, his glass-slipper princess.
He will have her back soon.
Still with this one, he would be there for her always no matter what and give her a place in his heart, his life and home.
As he was about to speak to the now quiet Snow, a cute rumble echoed breaking the calm as well as touching atmosphere.
As if fearing that it was not heard the first time, the rumble echoed ones more a little longer. With a chuckle due to the ebony hair moving downwards not to face him, Dominic released Snow White and spoke.
"Let's get us something to eat then, I have meals that are out of this world." To which he took her hand as her face was flushed a delectable red like that apple that poisoned her and walked her towards that large doors that open on their own.
The moment they passed the door frame into the larger hall, small notes of light akin to magic dust flattered down the large ceiling, they had colors of red, blue and black. Each one flew mystically around Snow White, the black ones on her head making it seem as if she carrying the night sky in her hair, the rest landed on her now outfit and skin and glowed brightly for a moment before they all melted away in her skin before she could even understand what was happening.
There she stood looking way different then before, her blue and yellow dress turned into a full navy-blue dress that had sparkly golden designs, showing her smooth and delicate shoulders, the lower part was less full and slightly shorter but shone like there were a thousand stars attached to it, her short hair was held by a dark red and blue hair band that looked like a tiara.
"Like that you have the keys to the palace, you can travel anywhere, everywhere and know how to identify the things you will encounter in this place. And a little bit of a makeover, you look like a dream." Said Dominic with a small smile to the dazed princess.
"I see, I feel like I know things now, that explains it. And the dress is beautiful." She muttered without even knowing what to say as they carried on through the corridor towards the kitchen.
Reaching the kitchen, Snow White though imbued with knowledge was left speechless and didn't know what to say or do, only to wake up when she smelled a fragrance that she had never smelled before.
She noticed that she was at a dinning table not far from the kitchen island that Dominic worked on. Terms that she now knew, and would pop in her head when she looked at the various array of things that she would have thought where items found in a witch's lair or a mad sorcerer's alchemy room.
Looking around she played a game of spotting things that she might recall that looked the same, and those where the fine-looking cupboards and containers that stored condiments and spices from there on everything was totally new to her young mind.
From the flat black surface that the knowledge said was akin to the fire stoves or wood ovens back home, or the magical or did the knowledge call it electoral devise, whatever that means, that kept food cold and the other that made it warm very fast.
Its like she was in a dream of a dream, but she knew that never in her wildest imagination would she be able to come up with such dreams ever.
It was all because of him.
Turning back her head towards the figure of the being that her eyes would always turn towards to no matter how many times she looked around, she stared and immediately wished that the knowledge in her head would say something about him at least.
She knew that he was not a man, no being human had those eyes that seemed to draw her in like that dark night, only this time there was no fear only a sense of belonging.
His form was of perfection, a body of a god on Earth, was he a god? She didn't know because she had never met one, perhaps she had finally had and that it is him, and such a god came from his wonderful palace and chose her to be his?
This thought made her insides move with a warmth that she didn't know she could feel.
She continued to observe him, noticing that he had lost his black and red robes, he had a white long sleeve shirt that was folded at the elbows showing his muscular forearms. He had a dark blue plain apron as he worked around the kitchen with grace and confidence that made her stop staring at everything else but him.
And before she knew it the smell of deliciousness was by her nose bringing her back once more to reality to find a pair of light blue silted pupils staring at her with a smile.
That face was the most beautiful smile she had ever seen. Her Lord was magnificent.
"Eat." He said calmly as he gestured downwards to her, she looked down and found a meal that was steaming and drew her mouth to start watering inside.
"Thank you." She said sincerely. It has been a while since she had a warm meal, fighting back the sting in her eyes and nose she picked up the fork at what her knowledge identified as a casserole.
It was rich in flavor and taste, excellent that she was lost in the meal, by the time she came back there was nothing left only Dominic with his own empty plate watching her with a peaceful smile on his face.
"Am glad you enjoyed that, now here is some dessert." As the words fell a cup of a cold, colorful treat on a bowl replaced her empty plate.
Ice cream.
These were the words when she looked at the food, touching the chilly bowl she used the spoon to scoop the yummy looking treat, it was like those snowy days with her parents, it pulled her to those times when she was small, days of laughter and joy.
Dominic watched this princess enjoy ice cream for the first time as her face and emotions ran wild, he knew that after this meal he would have to put her to sleep and let her rest.
She has had a long day and some sleep was in order, as for segs? Not anytime soon, even if he knew that she wouldn't refuse should he want it, there were three reasons for that.
The first and most important, this little lady was still underage, she was undoubtedly the youngest Disney princess even if she was the first. Though not as young as portrayed in the works, she was around 17 if he read her bone age correctly.
The second, she was too fragile, even if she had bonded with him and gotten an extra boost in stats or gained some magic, she was akin to a new born, she would need to go through some strengthening.
And lastly, she needed to go through her core bonding, she was his maiden hence a pseudo dragon. This will help with the second issue; she would get stronger and most importantly gain her own magic that she could use to protect herself. The worlds he would travel to would be dangerous in the future, hell the current realm is deadly enough.
Some would wonder why this core bonding was required, if the first was already essence bonding, well the first would be akin to an engagement, while the last is something akin to marriage, the core that she would get was split off his own the moment the essence bond was completed, like a wedding ring of sorts.
"That was so delicious!" Exclaimed Snow White.
Her voice gaining a perkiness that Dominic knew it was supposed to carry.
'She is getting there in terms of recovery.' He thought to himself.
"Well since we are done, there is something I need to show you." He said drawing the brown eyes that had a livelier shine in them.
Before she could say anything, the scene around them vanished, they soon found themselves staring at a vast sky above them and sleeping forest below them.
"Now that you are with me, there is an important part we need to fulfill to ensure that you are strong and well protected for me, you understand?" Dominic said as he placed a hand on her shoulder and looked up prompting Snow White to do the same.
There above them the stars looked heavenly, but one star shone brighter then the rest. It pulsed gently, making Snow White stare at it in a daze.
"That star, it is yours. Accept it and accept me forever." He said as the star suddenly flew down, leaving a trail of beautiful starlight that traced the night sky.
A ball no bigger than a soccer ball landed between then, now closer it shone with black, red and blue colors, that swirled with mystic light.
Dominic knowing what was about to happen took a few steps back, while it may not seem like he was doing much had his senses expand all over the place to ensure that there was nothing to disturb the process.
Snow White instinctively knew that the moment she touched this ball of light she would never be the same again, but so what, it was but a small price to pay to have everything she wanted, even if he was the devil in disguise to trick her she would give her all as he was there for her when no one was.
Like that, she reached forth only for the ball to rush to her with eager encapsulating her in a giant ball of light that had beautiful and intricate patterns of flowers and other designs that swirled around.
With a small sigh of relief, Dominic waved and the large ball of light vanished. Sending the now transforming princess to her room.
He took a moment to stare in the distance, his mind thinking about what he had experienced so far even remembering that weight on his shoulders, there was something a foot here, but there was no stopping him and tomorrow he would be out there again to venture the world below as the process would take several days to complete.
Who knows, he might just get pleasantly surprised just like today. Now was time for a little slumber.
