I walk around the town looking around. I was poor so there wasn't much I could do,except walk. Except I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings. I slammed into someone. Hard. I look up to see non other then the kings royal guard. Eren.
"Crap. I'm sorry Eren."
Me and Eren had been friends for the longest. He smiled and held onto me tight.
"It's all good. You ought to pay attention (y/n). "
I laugh softly until a loud stern voice stopped my laughter.
"Oi! Jager! You're not being paid to socialize!"
We turn around to see none other than the king himself. He stepped out of his carriage. I immediately bowed afraid of what our king would do to us. I could hear his footsteps in front of us. He seemed to get closer. A loud thump could be heard and Eren squeaked.
"Ow..."
"You up." I looked up a bit to notice that he was talking to me. I slowly got up never quite looking him in the eye.
"What's your name girl?"
"(Y/n)."
He nodded and paced in front of us.
"What your relationship with the idiot."
"We're only friends sir! I swear."
He nodded and sighed. He slapped Eren over head. I smiled and giggled at how cute they were. The king glanced over his shoulder at me and I saw a faint smile. I heard loads of rumors about the king. They said he was a cold hearted monster. They said he was secretly a demon. I couldn't take my eyes off the king. Another guard came up and punched me hard when the king wasn't looking.
"Poor scum like you shouldn't even be allowed to look at the king let alone speak to him." I squeaked and hid.
Days went by. It was said that single women have been taken to the castle to be chosen as the kings wife. I scratch the bruise on my face. I get up and stumble out of the alley and into the street. I didn't notice the carriage. Everything went cold.
"Wake up!"
I could hear someone begging me to wake up. It sounded like Eren. That's sweet. He cares.
"Move!"
That voice. It was both cold and full of concern. However I couldn't place the voice. I slowly opened my eyes to see the king himself kissing me. I squeaked loudly. He opened his eyes and pulled away.
"Good. Stupid girl. Pay attention. You could've been killed." He scolded me and slowly lifted me into his arms bridal style. I was put into the carriage and taken to the castle. I rewoke up in a large room full of expensive furniture. I roll over onto my back and look up at the canopy of the bed. I groan and slowly sit up.
"You're up. Good."
I back up as soon as I saw the king.
"I'm not going to kill you. So stop backing up as if I am."
I stared in horror. He had horns on his head and a long trip wire of a tail. Almost like a dragon. I pant heavily.
"Please. Please don't hurt me." I began to sob.
"I'm not. I'm going to convince you to be my queen. You'll carry my children once you settle in. Take too much time and I'll....never mind brat. Get some sleep." I nodded quickly
He got up and stalked out of the room. I hid under the bed. A couple hours later the door opened and the king stalked in again. He sat down at a desk in front of the window and placed a large object down. A large egg. He got up and grabbed my legs pulling me out from under the bed. I screamed as he turned me over. His eyes held a look of hurt. He checked me and sighed.
"Don't go hurting yourself (y/n). It would be most upsetting if my girlfriend got hurt. Now come sit down. I brought you both dinner and a gift."
I sat on the bed and watch him move the egg onto my lap.
"Break it and I break you." He growled.
Soon after saying that the egg rolled out of my lap. He looked back as I desperately reached for it. I grabbed it just as he did. Our eyes meet. He looked pissed.
"I say be careful and you nearly break it." His voice was low and dangerous.
I squeaked and held the egg close to my chest. He tilts his head and watches me hug the egg. He sighed and patted my head.
After a few months I got use to his cruel actions and began to understand when he was trying to be loving. I lay by myself as I stroke the egg that he gave me the first day I came. He came in and glanced at me for only a minute. He bent down next to me and rubbed my head.
"Do you like the egg?"
I nodded and hugged it closer to my stomach. He watched me closely and took my hand and placed a ring on my ring finger.
"I treasure you dearly. Nobody can have you. Only me." He smiled. For the first time he smiled.
"You're not a monster. Just a lonely fluffy demon." I smile and kiss his head. He smiled and rubbed my cheek.
"Maybe you're grumpy and annoying sometimes." He rolled his eyes and groaned as he got up. I smiled and laughed.
"So is this your way of asking me to marry you?"
"Yes brat. So what if I suck at saying lovey things. You're marrying me no matter what." He seemed to be pouting. I giggle and lay the egg on the pillow as I hug him from behind. He seemed shocked. He hugged me back and smiled as he kissed my head.
