*Author’s Notes: Hey guys! Sorry I’m late! This week was hell! So, enjoy this Medieval (with a bit of GoT) AU (or endure!)*
The World of Remnant was a magnificent, yet dangerous place. Therefore, from the ashes of the Great War, they united. The Kingdoms of Mantle, Atlas, Vacuo, Vale, Mistral and Menagerie have all swore loyalty to the royal House, chosen by them, who resided in Oniyuri. The Crown was held by House Ren.
The current king was King Li I, surnamed “The Wise King”. This king had only one child, The Crown Prince Lie, considered the most handsome man in the entire Remnant. He inherited his father’s ebony hair, straight nose and also his jawline. The rest of his traits were similar to his mother’s. The bright magenta eyes, the pale skin, the warm smile.
The King also had a main counselor, named Fenrir Valkyrie. Like his ruler, he also had one child; a girl named Nora, who also lived in the castle, as an attendant of the Crown Prince’s, accompanying him wherever he went.
The time has passed, and it was finally time that the Prince finally got married. Also, the Vytal Tournament was drawing near. Thus, the King and Queen decided that, at the end of the Tournament, their son would propose to one of the many noblewomen present at the event. Even if the young boy didn’t particularly agreed to his parents’ decisions. The moment the announce was made, all the lords and noble people who had daughters to marry confirmed their presence at the grandious
Trying to clear his mind, he decided to go to the gardens and stay under the azure sky, so he would find a way to deal with the situation he had been dragged in. He inspired the fresh air of the evening, his mind still tormented.
“I see something is bothering you, Your Grace.” Ren heard a voice from behind. It was her. It was always her, to his relief.
“Indeed, there’s something that’s bothering me.”
“Would you be so kind, as to explain the situation that erased your smile?” asked Nora gently, yet firmly, willing to help her prince.
“My parents… want me to marry a noblewoman by the end of the Vytal Tournament, despite my wishes to wait for a few more years.” said the prince, sighing as he revealed the source of his sorrow to his one and only confident.
The young girl felt her heart sink as he said those words, too dull for her years to hear. She had loved the Prince since the moment she saw him for the first time, when he decided to have her as an attendant. She was the daughter of the King’s counselor, but she was a servant nonetheless. “He is a royalty, he would NEVER marry a poor servant like myself…” she thought to herself, not being able to stop her chest from hurting.
“What do you think of this situation?”
“I asked you about your thoughts regarding this situation.” said Ren, as he noticed that his guardian seemed to have her mind absent.
Nora initially hesitated, but finally answered. “It is not in my power to share my opinions about something this important with you, Your Grace.”
“Oh… I understand. Well, if that’s how you feel, you may leave now. Thank you.”
Nora bowed in front of him and left, away from the one who had stolen her heart with the beauty of his face and heart.
After meditating for a long while, a moment of clarity struck the magenta-eyed boy, as he finally found a solution to his problem. He just had to wait until the Vytal Tournament ended.
The big day had finally come, as the Vytal Festival Tournament had just begun. Delighted, the royal couple has been waiting for that day, while their son just put his ultimate plan together.
During the fights, each volunteer had to choose among the weapons they were given and to fight until either contestant had his Aura depleted. Before the Great War, there were cases when they fought even to death. But new times required new solutions.
As the royal family and their conselor took their seats in the balcony specially reserved from them, a firm voice announced the first fighters. Jaune Arc, the descendant of the King of Vale; and Sky Lark.
“Now, let the battle begin!” shouted Fenrir.
The battle was intense from the very beginning. While Jaune used a sword and shield, Sky decided he used a halberd. With the force of a lion, Sky wielded the huge weapon, but his opponent always managed to dodge his attacks on time or deplete them with his shield. But Jaune wasn’t running from the fight. So, when he had occasions, he swung his sword, slashing and serving critical hits, powerful enough to decrease the amount of Sky’s Aura. In the end, with a final blow, Jaune finally depleted his enemy’s Aura.
“The battle is over! The winner is Jaune Arc!” Fenrir announced on his loud voice.
As the crowd cheered and acclaimed, Ren was clapping absently, as he started waiting for the big moment. “Soon enough.”
“The Tournament is finally over! The winner who has the honor to get this trophy to his Kingdom,” Fenrir rose the big golden trophy, “is Jaune Arc!”
At the announce, the crowd frantically cheered and clapped, as the young blonde boy drew closer, so he could claim his prize.
“Congratulations, young man! You brought honor and pride not only to your House, but to your Kingdom as well! You should be happy with your performance!” the King congratulated him.
“Thank you, Your Grace!” said Jaune, as he kneeled in front of the King, taking the trophy from his hands.
“And now, the real reason why we’re here has finally come. Now, it’s time that my son finally chose his bride. And for that, he will be given a crown of pink roses, that he will put on the head of his chosen one!” said the King, as he gave his son the crown made by 18 pale pink roses.
As he went among the people, the girls who were desperate to become his wife, started pushing each other, close to starting a riot. All the time, Nora watched the show from the first row, and closed her eyes in pain. “There is absolutely no way is he going to choose me. I am just a servant. I am not even allowed to–”
Her mind seemed to have stopped working, as she felt something being put on her head. Something like… a crown. And, as she slowly opened her eyes, he could see him putting his both hands on her cheeks, leaning in for a kiss. After the first contact of their lips, they both smiled at each other.
The crowd was in shock in awe. They have never seen a royalty falling in love with their servant, even if their family wasn’t poor either. A servant was a servant.
Ren grabbed Nora’s head, bringing her in front of his parents. They were both surprised by their son’s decision to marry his attendant. The counselor was no exception.
“Son… What is the meaning of this?”
“Father, this is the woman I want to marry.” Ren’s voice could be heard in the coliseum.
“But, Your Grace… I am nothing more than a servant. I am not suitable to become your wife.” said Nora shyly.
“Says who? You are not just a servant. You are the daughter of the Counselor, so you can’t say you’re no one. And you’re the one for me, no matter what other people say.” Ren faced his parents. “My dear father, my beloved mother, honorable advisor.. If you don’t mind, I want you all to give me your blessings, since I shall not change my mind!”
As minutes passed, everyone was waiting for the King’s reaction. At last, he asked his own child. “My son, are you sure about this decision?”
“Well, in that case… My dear Fenrir, I think we should start the preparations. We have a wedding to organize!” acclaimed the King. “Unless you have something else to say.”
“No, Your Grace. I- I shall go start the preparations immediately.” said Fenrir, with a shade of joy in his voice.
Ren turned to his beloved. “I am yours evermore. And I hope you’ll be mine.”
“Now and forever, my Prince. Now and forever…”
In the enormous Chapel of the Great Six, the ceremony had already begun. The young bride took off the pink cape she wore, replacing it with a dark green one, who had the lotus flower on its back.
“And now it’s time for the wedding vows!” said the priest, as he started wrapping a white ribbon around the hands of the groom and bride.
“Father, Smith, Warrior… Mother, Maiden, Crone, Stranger…” Ren and Nora said simultaneously.
“I am hers, and she is mine…”
“I am his, and he is mine…”
“From this day, until the end of my days.”
After the last words have been spoken, the priest confirmed their marriage, allowing them to kiss, to the joy of the invited ones.
“I will always love you, my beautiful thunder flower. Now and forever!” Ren said, kissing his wife’s forehead.
“Now and forever…” Nora murmured, as she leaned in, so she could touch his lips with her own.
