Walking leisurely through the verdant park, blue skies above, birds chirping away, Princess Rose stopped for a moment to admire a beautiful garden of flowers. The myriad colours danced across her vision and when her starry eyes gazed down on them, she couldn’t have stopped the ecstatic smile crossing her face even if she tried.

A new friend of hers approached from the side and Rose beamed at her. Rose, clad in her frilly, two-toned pink dress, matching elbow length gloves, and jeweled crown, rushed to her new friend to give her a hug. "Mirelle!" she said.

Her new friend was once a princess herself in a far off land. Some still liked to refer to her that way. Rose found she adored the company if Mirelle, the bright, bubbly woman in front of her.

Rose, for her part, was rather small, though she found Mirelle was about the same height. Her dark, neck length hair and blue eyes smiled at this new friend. Rose often referred to her as a princess as well, though Mirelle herself renounced that title. She accepted that being friends with a fellow princess was a comfort to Rose so, around her new friend, Mirelle was willing to accept the title once again.

"So great to see you, Rose!" Mirelle said, returning Rose's hug. For her part, Rose even adored Mirelle's appearanace. She had a pretty face and long, wavy, luxurious hair the colour of mint green. Her eyes were red, normally something quite frightening in others, but Mirelle's friendly demeanour accentuated her soft, pretty eyes that smiled perpetually.

Mirelle was dressed simply, in her usual earthy colours. A brown dress, with a skirt reaching her shins, a split up both sides of the skirt, showing off long, shapely legs. A green belt wrapped her waist, and her dress's sleeves were green with brown accents. Brown, knee high boots with heels completed the former princess' outfit.

"You too! Sooo...." Rose said, a wide grin on her face. "Did you wanna try our fun game?"

Mirelle looked confused for a moment. "Game?"

"Oh, you know, that 'kidnap the princess' game I told you about. Where you try to catch me and tie me up in the royal garden!"

"Oh right! Well, I could use some knot-tying practice... let's give it a try then!" Mirelle said.

"Okay, so give me a three second head start while I start to run," Rose said.

Mirelle complied and let her friend begin running off in a random direction. After counting slowly to three, she giggled and raced off after Rose. Despite her heels and the long skirt of her dress, Rose proved to be very agile. She kept out of Mirelle's reach at every turn.

"Come on, is that the best you can do?" Rose teased, giggling.

"You haven't seen anything yet!" Mirelle said. She chased her around for a long while, still unable to catch Rose. But finally, Mirelle just grabbed onto Rose's dress, tumbling to the ground. She just about grabbed the middle of the skirt and, being quick on her feet, managed to stand up. This had the unintended consequence of lifting up Rose's skirt... Mirelle blushed and covered her mouth, having seen her undergarments and pale legs underneath.

"Oh I'm sorry, Rose! I didn't mean to do that!" Mirelle said, clearly embarrassed. But even more embarrassed, to the point of freezing in place, was princess Rose. She couldn't move. Her muscles all locked up, her face flushed and she remained still as a statue, unable to even speak.

Mirelle realized, with a smile, that things were now in her favour. "Well, sorry about the skirt thing but... we are still playing right?" Mirelle asked.

Rose managed a slight nod but still couldn't move.

"And I don't see you running now..."

Though still embarrassed, and annoyed at her own reaction, Rose felt butterflies in her stomach. This was her favourite part, after all...

...

"And... done!" Mirelle declared, tying off the final rope on Rose's body.

The princess in pink, also known as the Princess of Bondage, was now thoroughly trussed in rope. Mirelle had dragged the still frozen and embarrassed Rose to a wooden pole and tied her ankles, calves, and thighs in rope. Next came her upper and lower arms, framing Rose's chest, and Mirelle also tied Rose's wrists tightly behind her back, using further rope in several places to secure her to the pole and keep rose standing. A white cloth covered over Princess Rpse's mouth and nose, holding in a wadded up cloth stuffing her mouth.

"How's that feel? Too tight?"

Rose squirmed around and giggled but she shook her head. "Nmmph"

"Good. You look adorable!" Mirelle said, causing Rose to blush.

"Okay well I guess this means I win then?"

Rose nodded and mumbled happily into her gag.

"Great! Okay, I'll just be over there, relaxing in the shade," Mirelle said, pointing to a nearby tree. "I'll let you out as soon as you're ready."

"Phmm ymm!" Rose said cheerfully.

"Oh anytime!" Mirelle gently hugged Rose. "I hope this helps you feel better. I know you've been having a rough time..."

Rose looked a bit sad for a moment but she tugged on her restraints and started struggling and giggling, feeling herself cheer up almost instantly.

"So glad you're enjoying yourself!"

"Mmmhmmm!" Rose said.

"All right, I'll be right over there. Have fun!"

Mirelle walked away and settled beneath the nearby tree, sitting down and resting her back against the trunk. She made sure Rose could see her and smiled as she watched her new friend struggle happily in her tight ropes.

"Well this was a fine day," Mirelle said, relaxing.

Rose let out a contented sigh as she continued to struggle with the ropes. Despite it all, she was happy to have so many friends so willing to indulge her favourite bondage hobby. And so many friends to help cheer up when she was down. Now she was lucky to count Mirelle among them.
