His Killer And His Protector P1
REAL LIFE X THE LAST LEGION A LITTLE BIT
COUPLE TBS X READER
RATING ADORABLE + FLIRTY
WARNINGS: LONG!!
Chosen by the gods to end this line.
The queen died in childbirth long ago.
The young princess married off to a king in a far off land not long after her sixteenth birthday.
The King on his death bed giving orders and commands before death comes for him.
And the prince, alive and well... For now.
The gods had spoken to my father and proclaimed my father's right to the throne rather than the royals who hold it now, and I was chosen to right this wrong.
I was to enter the place as a young maid and from within kill the king quickly and the young prince before he could take the throne.
I stood with a couple other new maids and staff as the head of the house staff walked thought with the young prince in tow,
He was taller then Every another person in the room, his blonde long fluffy hair and been brushed by one of the staff beforehand but I'm sure they wasted there time. All things considered, he was attractive, large brown eyes and a sweet smile. His clothes hung off him in odd ways like they were far too big for him but had been sewn to his size by someone who had not even given measurements and had also never met him, he smiled to us all before he saw me and spoke.
"Do excuse me dear lady but... Have we met before?" He asked
"I don't recall so sir" I answered
"I know I've seen you before..." He said "it'll come to me, eventually" he smiled
I had been working in the palace for a good while dividing my plan while building a trustworthy persona, I took the key from the kitchen and went up the service passage into the dark corridors I removed my shoes so I could be as quiet as a mouse sneaking past the king's room, further down the pitch black corridors I know well, down to the end door of the corridor I pushed the door with enough space I could get in without it creaking quickly shutting it once I was inside, the room huge, a fireplace just a small glow, the balcony door barely open the sheer curtain lightly moving in the breeze, a candle lit by the bed, the prince fast asleep in his bed, so I stepped slowly over and pushed open the door a little more letting light from the full moon outside flood into the room onto the princes bed he groaned and turned over away from the light I blew out the candle as I stepped closer to his bed, he laid partly cuddling his pillow, awww how sweet well time for you to spend a lot of time in dream land pretty little prince. I got my knife and hung it above his head but -
"What are you doing here?" He asked
"Nothing, you Uhhh you left a candle burning and your balcony open" I explain hiding my knife as he sat up
"I did? Ohh thank you" he smiled "your y/n? Aren't you? One of the newer maid girls?"
"You're... Very pretty," he says
"Uhh thank you, I really should be going," I said quickly heading to the door
"Uuhhh- actually before you go," he said sitting up completely in his bed "you uhh you could stay? A little while longer"
"What do you mean? Do you have any jobs for me?" I asked
"Well... I could have something for you" he suggested "after all, all the girls downstairs will likely be asleep, don't want to wake them up and have them come all the way up here when... You're already here" he smirked
"I'll call up one of the girls for you sir" I blushed going to leave but
"I don't fancy one of the girls," he said making me freeze "I'd rather like you" he smirked I could see under his thin sheets he opened his legs a little wider glancing down to himself and back to me licking his lip
"I'm sorry," I said dashing out the room as fast as I could but before I could get back
"Wait!" He says holding my wrist I turned seeing him stood there his hair a mess from where he had been asleep his skin pale as he wasn't allowed out in the sun much and even when he was he was covered up a lot, his shorts sticking to him in odd places where he was hot in his bed as well as the problem he wanted my help with he held my wrist tightly pulling me back to him "I'm sorry... It was awful of me to ask you for that, you're the maid I shouldn't have made assumptions" he said
"Well... Thank you, but I really must be going" I said "I'll call one of the girls up for you"
"It's alright, don't trouble them" he smiled "prince of the realm can use his own hand" he winked making me blush "goodnight" he smiled giving my hand a kiss before going back to his room,
I stood in the laundry room doing the bedsheets and blankets for the whole house standing over the large steaming cauldron of clothing when there was a knock at the door
"Come in," I said perhaps another of the maid girls dropping off the next load
"Hi... Anyone else here?" The prince asked as he came in shutting the door behind him
"Ohh! Sorry I didn't know it was you sir" I said fixing my hair and wiping my hands on my dress
"Hey don't worry, relax knowone knows I'm down here, I stuck away from my royal guards" he explained
"That really a good idea?" I smirked trying to secretly get my knife now I knew we where alone
"I'm not sure a prince should trust some new little maid girl, who knows I could be undercover trying to kill you" I smirked
"You might, but I trust you" he smiled taking my hand giving it a kiss and putting something in my hand "for the other night, I felt awful about it"
"You didn't hav-" I began trying to hand it back
"I know, but I wanted to apologize, properly for what I did," he says
"You didn't do anything most men don't?" I laughed
"Still" he smiled so I opened the little bundle of paper it was a necklace or beautiful gold and silver worth likely more than everything else I own in the world
"Please keep it," he says "I had it made for you, I want you to have it"
"Thank you very much" I blushed he blushed a little too taking it from me and putting the necklace on for me
"I did... Mean what I said" he began
"Not that... I really did mean that your very pretty, and I do rather like you" he smiled sweetly before going to the door "ohh call me Thomas by the way"
"Okay, call me y/n" I smiled.
The gods had spoken thought my father that he was the prince who would take the throne and rule over the world.
Yet the gods speak thought the king that his son Thomas would be the one to do so.
Yet my destiny is to kill Thomas to let my father rein...
All of it seemed wrong like no matter the answer something was wrong.
I did as I was told taking a pile of clean bedding and blankets to thomas' room Putting the pile on the end of his bed as he stood having a ciggerette out the balcony window
"Your not gonna tell on me are you?" He asks
"About my-" he began "ohhh! Oh thanks"
"Don't worry about it" I told him winking before going to leave but he grabbed myself wrist
"Wait..." He said "stay. A little longer y/n" he said pulling me closer
"I want you to stay with me, just a little longer" he said pulling me closer to him
"I should get back to the servents courters" I said turning my face away from him
"I shouldn't be here" I muttered "I'm sorry" I said pushing him away slightly pulling off the necklace and giving it back before running down to the kitchens.
I stood doing some work for dinner when a voice shouted above all else
"Y/n! Take water to the king's room!" The head maid yelled so I did as she asked taking everything that needed to go to the king's room, his room was much like thomas' but larger and grander even it most of it is covered in dust and webs as he has been bedridden for some time, I went putting the water beside his bed as he laid contemplating
"They used to say that the gods had full control, over all but one thing" he said sounding half awake
"Yes sir" I nodded fiddling with the water
"All but the heart" he said "the heart wants what it wants..." He said "I remember the first time I saw Tasha made me feel like nothing else has before" he explained "I miss her"
"He's a good boy..." He said
"Thomas, he's a good boy, he means well. Poor thing they shut him off from the world, don't remember the last time that boy stepped outside the palace, he doesn't understand social things" he explained "give him a chance." He said handing me something from his hand... The necklace Thomas had given me that I had returned a few days ago. I took it from him and gave him his water that I had fixed to weaken him further quickly leaving and returning to the kitchens.
I was called up to the king's room again, a day or two later this time it full of people, I was only sent to deliver water but I stayed hidden away to listen. Thomas sat beside his father emotionless and empty. Men surrounded the bed guards, advisors and religious men.
The king's death, he will give his last orders and name who will be incharge.
Either he will deny the rules and let Thomas rule or he will put another man likely an advisor or generals in charge until they deem Thomas ready to become king,
"Sir what are your orders?" The general asked
"What does it matter, you won't follow them after in dead" he laughs
"Of course we will my lord, what are the orders?" The general asked sounding annoyed
When suddenly all the candles blew out and the room silenced but one voice
"The gods speak thought him..." The high presit said
"The kingdom must remain strong..." The king said "a firm leader... The prince who will be the master of all..." He explained holding out his hand everyone tried to reach for it a little the general and Thomas the most egar it seemed but he drew it back "none of you ... I look for the girl with the y/h/c hair and the golden necklace" he explained and I froze
"Y/n?" Thomas asked "father... Why do you want to see y/n?"
"I must" he answered so one of the presit men turned seeing me still here and pulled me forward to the bed all but the king confused as he reached to me taking my hand "you shall hold an place higher then a king, you must protect him, protect my son so that the king may rise." He explained I was so Lost so confused as he took his hand away and within moments was dead
The gods spoke thought my father told said he was the prince to rule that I had to kill the king and Thomas so that he could rule.
The gods speak thought the king and said I must protect Thomas so he can become the prince for told.
What does it all mean it doesn't make sense.
I ran out the room but before I could reach the end of the corridor
"Y/n... What does this mean?" Thomas asked
"I don't know" I answered
"Miss, might I have your ear?" The general asked who had clearly followed Thomas to chase after me
"If you have any sense, pack your bags" he said "our enemies will know as the crow flies of the kinds death, they will be coming for the palace and for the prince. If you want to honour the king's orders to protect him, get out of the city before nightfall" he said before rushing off
"Get your things, we need to go" I said
"One bag, light enough to carry any heavier leave it behind, I'll be back to get you once I'm packed and supplied, and hurry I don't think we have long" I explain giving his cheek a kiss before running off to back my things and get a bag of food before going up to see that Thomas had done nothing
"Y/n! Please... What's going on? where are we going?" He asked
"I said pack" I sighed getting a bag and doing it for him backing few clothes as his clothes where too obvious he would need different ones later "we have to leave, leave or we die" I explain
"Y/n... I don't want to go" he said "with my father gone and you labeled as my protector... I don't want to leave, I wanna stay here, with you" he explained fixing my hair and holding my hands "I mean it wouldn't take too long for me to become king, and.... I could make you my queen if you wanted, wouldn't you want that?"
"Thomas, it's not that simple" I said
"But y/n... I lov-" he began
"FIRE!!!" Was screamed from outside and a massive bang erupted as something hit the palace wall shattering it causing the whole building to shake as an army made its way in
"Get your things and follow me" I told him
