(1x1x1x1 pov!)

(Also sorry for the long introduction)

The rain battered heavily, slippery steps of the horse and the wheels unevenly following along. Eventually, after a long, long passage of time they reached a large fortified wall, among the walls were soldiers ready to attack at any second, weapons hoisted up ready at aim.

The 2 main guards, guarding the entrance stopped the carriage, inspecting the carriage driver and the presumably package they brought.

“ HALT! Who dares use such a bold tactic in front of our border? “

One of the two guards yelled, scornfully watching the driver, It was clear the driver was from their enemy kingdom.

“ I was given orders, by lord telamon. A ‘proposal’ of truce for your lord demon king. “

The driver spoke shakily, the reins of the horse connected shaking in their hands, disdain in their face as the guards suspiciously watched them.

The doors of the large bordering walls opened with a shriek of protest, the “demon lord” approaching cautiously yet confidently.

“ kill that driver. “

He spoke, demanding and fearful as the driver's eyes widened and the 2 guards flung the driver off the carriage and surrounded them. A scream of agony then the thud of a body was all that was heard.

The demon lord, John, stared at the mysterious covered box shape, could have this been an odd trap from Telamon? It’s not like Telamon has tried odd techniques to try and subdue him.

He roughly grabbed the cloth of the large box, pulling at it with his large spiky claws. Reveling in the shock of seeing THE telamons best war general, soldier, and child, 1x. locked in a cage battered and dirtied with a note attached that read :

“ a proposal of marriage, As a treaty for peace.

P.S dw abt 1x being too violent there's a reason they have those chains on. “ (rather odd add-on from telamon, chaining their own kid to a cage yet again he is the most weirdest of rulers.)

he stared at 1x, and 1x stared back. John could feel the radiating aura of hate dripping from 1xs scowl.

it honestly took him a second to realize the current state of 1x- their usual silky white long hair was dirtied and rough, their usual prideful and spiteful expression reduced to a frown that could pierce daggers through him.

the travel between kingdoms would've been long, and rough. seemed like there was only enough food for one person-the driver. 1x looks like he’ll starve to death any minute.

“ well well.. reduced to just a bride for me, hm? “

he stared at 1x, 1x radiated with even more rage and hate as those words escaped Johns lips.

“ I will gut you like a fish. “

1x spat out, a growl hummed from within as they hoisted themself up slightly.

1x couldn't believe this, they were a feared and respected war general. Everyone feared their combant abilities as they even rivaled telamon, but now.. he was reduced to some sort of forced bride for the demon lord, John doe, from their own creator.

John soon called for something, 1x was unsure on what exactly he was calling for as the thundering rain blocked his usually great hearing. he clenched on the heavy chains curving around their body, trying to squirm out but he was utterly exhausted. Traveling days without food or sleep was truly getting to them, much to their dismay.

John unlocked the cage cautiously, grabbing 1x from the chains and hoisting them onto his shoulders.

1x squirmed shouting quite foul and detailed threats as the gates of the border closed behined them.

(Uhhhh time-skip?)

Today is the day they’re getting married. The hall shines like a palace, but beneath the gold and roses lurks a shadow—royalty on the surface, hell at its core.

1x1x1x1 (you) stepped on the dais with a large stomp. Wearing a Non-binary gown.
