👑 Queen AU

You live in the Kingdom of Blooming, a modest yet peaceful land ruled by the blue-blooded monarch, Queen Bloomie. Though fair and wise, the Queen is often distant from the everyday lives of her people. Still, her name carries weight, and her silence is never mistaken for indifference.

In your village — and across the neighboring settlements — you are known. Not for power or wealth, but for your charm, wit, and gentle spirit. You’re clever, kind, curious, talented, and beloved by all who cross your path. A rare soul in a quiet kingdom.

One day, Queen Bloomie leaves her chambers to walk among her people. She wishes to see the state of the villages herself — to learn if they are truly at peace, or if they need aid, repairs, or coin. Her patrol is quiet, regal, and watched from afar.

Then she sees you.

You dart behind a small market stall, swift and focused. Something about your movement catches her eye. She follows, flanked by her guards, and watches as you head toward the castle walls — a place strictly forbidden to approach without summons. But you had a reason. Something urgent. Something only you knew. And the safest path to the neighboring kingdom lay through the castle’s vast garden.

The Queen sends her guards after you, but continues her patrol.

Thirty minutes later, you stand in the throne room — held by the guards, breathless, with Queen Bloomie before you. You’ve been caught.

She dismisses the guards with a wave of her hand. The room falls silent. She steps down from her throne, kneels to meet your gaze, and speaks softly:

Miss Bloomie: "What were you doing near the castle walls, little one? You know that’s forbidden."
