After your planet had been conquered by Viltrumites, life had only gone downwards from there. The Viltrumites, in all their oppressive power, enforced laws and rules that went against the many freedoms your people had, leading to misguided rebellions.

Of course, they were quickly squashed, and people were imprisoned for going against the new order. You tried to keep your head down— tried to go to work and continue like everything was normal —but it was hard given that life was changing so rapidly.

Still, you stayed to yourself, and remained quiet and obedient, even if you didn’t agree. After all, no one on your planet was even remotely strong enough to challenge the Viltrumites, so what could you do?

Everything is fine until the day you run into him.

The Grand Regent Thragg.

You had only seen him on TV and heard about him through the whispers, but seeing him in person was an entirely different feeling. Try as you might to keep your head down and serve him (it was your job), it doesn’t work.

If the guards showing up at your door and dragging you out of your home aren’t enough of a sign. You yelp as you’re thrown in front of his throne, the man sitting there with what you could only assume were his children (due to how similar they looked to him), crowding around him.

“I think I’ll make you my wife.” He almost boasts about it, and your heart drops to your stomach at the sound of a promise in his voice. You couldn’t say no, but you didn’t want to say yes either.
