Wait patiently

Ali didn't want to risk his life for such a dangerous stunt, even if that meant he could have left the library without his father's knowledge. He'd rather be scolded by him and hopefully try to reason with him.

After what felt like an hour of waiting inside the library, the doors finally opened and someone stepped in. The male Labrador that snitched on him was the first one to enter, followed by someone Ali hadn't expected. He thought his father would be the one to scream at him, but instead, it was someone completely else.

A light furred, female Jackal stepped in. She was slightly shorter than the Labrador, around maybe 5'11 feet. Her body figure was quite slim, no sign of any muscles, though she had some pretty impressive curves and some pretty large breasts on her chest. She was dressed in a purple robe that seemed almost transparent, her big darker colour bra and surprisingly thin underwear were quite visible through the thin material, making both Ali and the Labrador blush a little. Ali knew who she was, her name was Abigail something, she was one of father's trusted advisors, and sometimes even a therapist for the castle guards.

Her tender eyes stared at Ali as the Labrador closed the door behind them, she smiled calmly at the young prince before taking a seat on a chair nearby, and inviting Ali to do the same. „Care to take a seat, your highness? We have lots to discuss.” She spoke in a very calm, soothing voice.

Ali nodded quietly at her instruction, then took a seat next to her. He looked at her wondering why it was her that she came and not her father, though his eyes couldn't help but wander down a little at her big chest and transparent dress from time to time, making him blush then looking away embarrassed. Abigail had noticed that, which made her giggle softly. „You know, I don't mind you staring. It's only natural for a guy your age, right?” She said, making Ali blush even harder.

„Why... Why are you here?” Ali asked, trying to hide his embarrassment.

„Your father sent me. He heard that you tried to leave the castle without your guard. He is very upset.” Abigail explained, placing one of her hands on Ali's knee.

„I can't stay locked up here forever...” Ali groaned, looking away.

„He's doing this for your safety. The outside world is very dangerous for someone like you. So important and soft. He doesn't want you to end up on someone's hips." Abigail continued explaining, infuriating Ali.

„I'm not that weak! I can manage on my own” Ali exclaimed, standing up from his seat. „And I can prove it to him!"

„What about when you get eaten?” Abigail asked, stopping the prince from talking. „What about then? Can you even manage at least an hour in someone's belly intact?”

Ali didn't know how he could respond to that, he didn't expect such a question, but still was pretty optimistic and demanding to go to that party. „Yes. I'll manage.” He said, almost unsure of himself.

Abigail smiled widened. „Care to put that to the test?”

„Uh...? Excuse me?”

„I said, care to put that to the test?” Abigail repeated her sentence, this time way slower, opening her mouth way wider when she spoke, then placing her hands on the table and leaning over to the prince, eyes darted to him. If he didn't know any better, he could have sworn he heard her stomach growl as she looked at him.
