[ABDL, Age Regression]
"What is this..? One of the un-padded, kneeling before my greatness? Who are you, young lady, and why have you dared enter my Kingdom without respecting its culture?"
Sitting upon a grand throne was a beautiful older woman clad in long purple garments, all of them puffed up to properly accentuate the kind of authority that she commanded. But the length of these garments came to a rather abrupt halt by her waist, as what should've been a long skirt was barely long enough to cover up a massive white diaper with a crown printed on the front. This was her claim to the throne, not the crown upon her head.
She was not the only padded individual in this grand hall either. If one were to look at the many knights that were currently standing guard and keeping an eye on their uninvited guest, you would easily be able to see that their armor was not made of steel or iron or anything conventionally defensive. No, they were wearing suits made of the same material that the diaper around their Queen's waist was made of. That soft padding made for great protection, even if they occasionally let out delighted moans from how soft it all was.
The only one who wasn't wearing a diaper was the ragged young lady currently kneeling in front of the throne. A girl wearing a dress that had a certain regal air to it, if not for the way it had been torn into and made more functional to allow for the girl to flee her pursuers.
"P-Please. Please heed my words, Padded Queen." The girl muttered as she slowly but surely forced herself to look up at the padded woman. She did not feel repulsed by the sight of all these diapers, far from it. If anything, their softness made her heart relax in comparison to all the violence that she had fled from. "My name is... P-Princess Elizabeth, of the Warring Kingdom. The King, my Father, has gone mad and has started to attack all the other Kingdoms. It's only thanks to your loyal citizens that I was able to breathe a sigh of relief, as their armor was able to repel the attacks from my Father's knights..."
The Padded Queen raised an eyebrow as she rested her head on the palm of her hand. "The Warring Kingdom's Princess. You realize what you've done by coming here, do you not? The Padded Kingdom do not wish to get involved with the un-padded's trivialities. And now you've dragged them right to my doorstep... You understand what I must do, correct?"
"I-I do. I know that I've done wrong." Elizabeth muttered as she slowly lowered her head once again, pressing it against the floor as she begged for forgiveness. "But please. I couldn't stand to stay there. Father... Father wanted to destroy everything, and all his Knights shared his maddened passion. If I did not flee here, I would've been killed. And... Knowing this madness, Father would try to invade your Kingdom regardless, so..."
"Do not try to play coy with me, Princess." The Padded Queen retorted... only to let out a soft laugh. "But no matter how angry my heart might wish to be at your act, I cannot allow myself to be so cruel. Not after you've come so far. My heart is as soft as the padding that I wear, and therefore I will make sure to keep you safe. If that old bastard wants to come and take you back, then he will face the full might of my padded elite."
Cheers echoed through the hall, as Elizabeth lifted her head up in surprise. She genuinely wasn't expecting her to show mercy like that. She was expecting that she had to give something up to earn her favor. But it seemed her honesty had won the day. "T-Thank you. Thank you so much, Padded Queen..!"
"You needn't thank me, little Princess." The Padded Queen said, all while taking a few steps from her throne. All with the sound of her diaper crinkling between her thighs with every step she took. She almost looked like she was waddling at that, but she remained dignified despite the absurdity. "Because while I will be sure to protect you like the padding around my waist, I do not wish to see you acting so intolerant of our customs and our traditions. Stand tall, Warring Princess. So that I may make swift work of this disrespect."
Elizabeth nodded. She totally understood. She had been awfully rude, even if it was only due to the fact that she didn't have any other choice. Getting mildly punished for not wearing a diaper like all of the citizens of the Padded Kingdom was a small price to pay in exchange for safety. So she slowly stood up, her legs wobbling thanks to the shock of being hunted down still radiating through her.
"How long have you been running for, Princess?" The Padded Queen gave a simple question, all while pulling on the front of her waistband to rummage around inside. Having such a big diaper meant that she could use it as a pseudo-bag, allowing her to store away plenty of items that she only needed for key moments like this one...
"A-About... About a week, right up until I crossed the border. I haven't really had a good meal in that time either..." Elizabeth replied, as she shook all over. Now that the adrenaline of getting away from murderous guards and knights was starting to wear off, she was feeling weaker and weaker by the moment. She could fall over at any moment.
But she wouldn't be falling over before the Queen had punished her appropriately. She didn't even get the chance to properly see what the Queen was doing before she was hit by a big beam full of magic. She knew that the Queen was capable of incredible feats, because that was how she came to learn of the creation of that diaper-like armor that all the knights wore. But she didn't expect to experience it first hand, not to be on the receiving end of something like this!
Thankfully, it was not painful. If anything, it was softer than she ever could've imagined. It was like she was being wrapped in one big diaper, and she just couldn't help but let out a few gasps of pure pleasure. It was just the kind of softness that she needed. After so much running, after trying her best to avoid getting caught and getting thrown away, this was the kind of treatment that she truly needed.
It wasn't just that she felt like she was being wrapped inside of a diaper, because her dress was slowly stitching itself together. However, it lost much of its regal color in the process, turning black and white just like any other maid's dress. Because that was what was happening to it. Not only did it shrink until it was so painfully short that she couldn't hide anything below the belt, but it also fit a servant more than a ruler.
There was also a good reason for the extremely lacking skirt. And that reason came in the form of Elizabeth's panties puffing out slightly, then explosively so. Gone were her normal undergarments, replaced with a diaper that just grew bigger with every passing moment. First the size that a normal infant would wear, then the kind of diaper that adults could potentially need, before it reached the same thickness that enthusiasts would enjoy, and then far beyond that until there was literally no chance for somebody like her to ever close her legs again...
Elizabeth was forced to collapse onto the diaper as soon as it puffed out to the point where she could comfortably sit with it cushioning her butt, all while she gasped and panted. Her exhaustion had overwhelmed her. She could barely even see straight, and yet here she was. Dressed like a mere servant. Dressed like she had been a maid her entire life. By all accounts, there was a good chance that she would be staying a maid too. That is, if she weren't careful around the Padded Queen.
And yet she wasn't worried about that. She softly sighed and enjoyed the feeling under her butt, all while closing her eyes and letting the warmth of wearing such a thing wash over her. It was... It was so strange, and yet it felt so right. Especially since it represented her safety. She didn't have to run any longer. She didn't have to witness the horrors of war. All she had to do was just serve the Padded Queen...
"This will be your role while you serve as my guest, Warring Princess. No, that seems like an awful name for somebody like you. You will be my personal Padded Maid. Are we clear, Maid?" The Padded Queen quickly replaced the Princess' title, all while reaching out and offering her a hand so she may stand up once more. All while smiling softly, making it clear that she was planning on keeping her promise the best that she possibly could.
The Padded Maid nodded, and reached up to grab her Queen's hand. All so that she may serve her and find happiness in servitude, until her Father broke from his rabid conquest...

"Maid! Do not spill my wine!"
"A-Apologies, my Queen!"
---
"Maid, what have you done with all the plates?! It's a mess!"
"A-Ah. S-Sorry. Sorry, sorry... I-I tripped over myself, and..."
---
"Maid. Your hair. What did you do?"
"I... I accidently burnt it... T-The other maids, they..."
---
It had been about a month since the former Warring Princess ended up employed by the Padded Queen. And yet despite all her efforts, she just couldn't get accustomed to the role as a servant. Whenever it seemed like things were going her way, something would go wrong and she would end up humiliating herself and disappointing her Queen. Her life just wasn't allowed to be happy, at least that was what she thought when this kept on happening.
"Perhaps..." Elizabeth muttered as she nervously tightened her thighs around the extra large padding that kept her gait so wide so she was forced to waddle around everywhere. "Perhaps I should've just stayed there. Perhaps I should've let Father..."
"Elizabeth."
The Padded Maid felt a powerful tingle run down her spine, all while she looked to the serious yet maternal sounding voice that echoed through her personal quarters. It was the Padded Queen. But instead of wearing her normal garments, she wore a transparent gown that made her look a lot less intimidating and a lot more welcoming. W-why would she wear something like that and come visit her at a time like this..?
"Y-Yes, my Queen?" Elizabeth asked, all while quickly getting off her bed and kneeling down in front of the Queen that had helped her so much. Only to end up just resting on top of the very squishy and extra plush padding instead of on her knees. "W-What can I do for you..?"
"At ease, Elizabeth. You don't have to do anything. I'm here for something much more important than just seeing you try your best and fail over and over." The Padded Queen explained, all while taking a seat on her maid's bed. "There's something that I noticed, every time you ended up falling over. You seemed to be completely and utterly lost in thought. As if there was something bothering you on a level not many would be able to handle. Have you been hiding anything from me, dear?"
Elizabeth listened and started to blush. The Padded Queen had come to care for her like this over such a short period of time..? It was honestly astonishing. She didn't think that she would love her in any fashion, not after she kept disappointing her over and over. "T-There's... There's just one thing... A-And I can't say I've been wanting to think about it..." She muttered, as she climbed onto the bed as well. Crawling, even, as she couldn't really get back onto her feet...
"Tell me, dear Elizabeth. I promised you that I would keep you safe. But I cannot keep my promise if I don't know what's trying to break you." The Padded Queen asked, all while slowly wrapping her arms around the girl. Pulling her close, even straight onto that extra thick padded lap. Her diaper was the biggest in the entire kingdom, and having it barely visible through this gown made it all the more alluring than usual...
Elizabeth sniffled a little as she leaned into the Queen's hug. A few tears slowly rolled down her cheeks as she put her mind through the torture of remembering the gruesome sights that had unfolded before her eyes. "E-Every time I think I can succeed... I-I end up remembering the lives that were lost trying to keep me safe. There were so many good young men and women that ended up losing their lives, just because they wanted me to be safe. They could've helped my Father and secured a victory... B-But they thought that his path was beyond madness, and instead..."
As she told her story, the Padded Queen slowly ran her hand through the girl's hair. Stroking away at her head, making sure that she felt completely and utterly accepted. She wanted her to feel like she belonged. This was a safe haven for her. So letting her emotions spill out, letting her trauma be unraveled... That was what this safe space was for...
"T-They shouldn't have fallen. E-Every time I remember them, I-I can't help but believe that it was all for naught. I-I'm nothing more than a failure... T-There's no way they should've done this, all for the sake of somebody who can't even be a maid..." Elizabeth's tears were pouring down harder and harder. And all that she could do was just sob and sob some more. She wanted to lose it all. That was how badly it had all affected her...
It was then that the Padded Queen gently lifted her up, and planted a kiss right on the girl's lips. Not for the sake of affection, but for the sake of breaking her out of her spiral of self-depreciation. "Do you really believe that they would want to hear that come from your lips, Elizabeth..?" She asked a simple question, all while her hand continued to stroke away at the back of her head...
"N-No... N-No they wouldn't. B-But I can't help it... I-I can't see how them saving me truly ended up making their lives worth it. T-They should've run as well. They should've been the ones to take my place in this Kingdom. T-They would've been adorable members of this padded society. N-Not like me..." Elizabeth sniffled, all while the tears just kept streaming. She truly had no confidence in herself. Despite the fact that she had managed to do what many would consider impossible...
Another kiss. And a tight hug from the Padded Queen, as a wave of softness started to overwhelm the saddened and despairing girl. "You poor, poor thing. You really think they didn't take that into consideration..?" She whispered into her ear, while looking into Elizabeth's wet eyes...
"T-They... They did..?" She couldn't believe it. Nor could she believe the warmth that came from the Queen. It was suffocating. But she felt better. She felt much better as it squeezed down on her. Slowly but surely making it feel like she was going to make it out of all of this...
The Padded Queen nodded. And she slowly stroked the girl's hair, all while she smiled in such a soft manner. "They wanted you to live on. Because they knew that you would be the one to eventually save their kin. They were willing to give it all for you. So I will make their wishes come true..."
Elizabeth didn't understand. Not until she noticed how much bigger the Padded Queen was. Not until she felt like she was getting hungrier and hungrier, and her eyes just couldn't stop looking towards those naked breasts beyond the gown. She hadn't felt this way in ages. Not since her Mother still nursed her... Wait...
"G-Gah..?" Her words were already failing her by the time she realized she had grown younger. Much, much younger. She was barely three years old now. Her garments had also disappeared, leaving her as a little girl in nothing but an oversized diaper. All while M... Mommy looked down at her with that soft smile. It was weird. It was strange...
But she didn't think it was bad. She just pawed a little at her Mommy's breast. All while her tiny tummy let its hungry cries echo out. She wanted something to drink. She really, really wanted something to drink. That was the only way that she could satiate this feeling inside her.
Of course Mommy was happy to indulge her sweet little baby girl. She hadn't gone through the trouble of kissing her full of her love and her magic if she didn't plan on giving her everything she could possibly need or want. So she pulled aside the gown ever slightly, all so her sweet little baby could reach inside.
Elizabeth was barely aware of anything at this point. She just latched onto Mommy's breast and started suckling like a needy newborn. Which she practically was at this point. She had been given a second chance at life. All thanks to the Padded Queen and her mercy. A second chance to live life and enjoy it all.
"Drink all the milk you need, little Elizabeth. My little Padded Princess. When you grow up, we will ensure that the Warring Kingdom pays for its crimes... And that its citizens get to experience the Padded Peace in all of its glory..." The Padded Queen whispered to her sweet little baby, who didn't understand a thing.
The only thing she understood... Was that Mommy loved her lots... And would protect her...
