Xilonen!mc is Leona adoptive mother.
After the war in natlan she gets teleported to twisted wonderland. Since she was a hero of natlan, she is very strong. She sucks it up. When she arrived to twisted wonderland, she ended up in sunset savanna. She gives money to ruggie’s neighborhood and helped get it running water and other necessities.
She ended up meeting a little Leona after he unlocked his unique magic and had overheard the servants talking about him. He got the scar on his eye from a servant being careless with a knife. She didn’t even apologize and it was swiped under the rug by the other servants. He is around 5 years old. Leona ran away and bumped into her. She was cool about it and took him under her wing. After the servants took him back and she watched as they didn’t care for him, she decided she was going to intervene. She started to work as a mason. Leona often escaped to see her but after a while the servants stopped caring, after all he is the second prince not the first. Leona after a while picked up on her attitude and habit of sleeping and now dozes off very easily. After the young boy met Xilonen for the first time he stopped demanding attention from his family as he got the attention he needs from her. He even started calling her mom. He loves his mom and enjoys spending time with her even if it’s just napping. Napping next to mama is the best. He grew up hearing stories from her world and thinks she is the braves person in the world, even as an adult he still thinks that. He is stronger than in cannon because his mom motivates him to get stronger. Leona’s family just let him be but were a little miffed because he didn’t want to spend time with them. They have no idea about Xilonen. The only one that Leona cares about is Cheka since he little and has done nothing wrong in his mind.
At nrc Leona regularly talks to Xilonen on his phone and writes letters. He visits her often when he able too, compared to his family.
Leona since he has Xilonen in his life, isn’t actually that angry at the world, he is angry about the mistreatment of the servants because no one would believe him and the servants would mock him and talk behind his back. He wasn’t planning on cheating in the tournament but is very competitive. Ruggie decided to do it on his own. During the tournament when Lilia antagonisted him, he starts to overblot as he wonders if his mama(Xilonen) will still love him if he doesn’t win. Xilonen is there in the stands and immediately is calming her son down with a warm hug. She does beat up Lilia for causing her son to overblot. It happened on camera about happened on the field.
The whole world is aware that the second prince views a mason as his mom and not the dowager queen. This is the family’s wake up call about what Leona has dealt with during his childhood, every mean comment and spiteful action that Leona had been given since he was five, was revealed. When the ghost camera takes the photo into Leona’s life, everyone gets to see the mistreatment Leona dealt with on the big screen and it is broadcasted live. Everything done by the servants and how Xilonen was the only one protecting him and her genuine love for him. The knife and eye incident, the comments, the taunting, all of it. People don’t blame Leona for being angry at the world and uncaring towards his biological family because they would be to same in his place.
While Leona is in the nurses office with the first years and Xilonen, the royal family is having a collective meltdown about how they could have allowed all of that to happen. Have they really been that blind to what was going on. They all have wanted a closer relationship with him for years and now they know the reason why their attempts were unsuccessful. The servants are going to regret living soon. They are going to show up dead in a few days after they find all of them. The sunset savanna palace suddenly is looking for a ton of new workers for the palace. While this is going on Cheka sneaks into the nurses office to check on Leona. Xilonen immediately takes a liking to him and Cheka called her auntie.
After the tournament, there is a week long break because of what happened. Leona didn’t want to leave but the sunset savanna guards grabbed him and Xilonen and shoved them through the portal. The whole family is there to greet Leona and try to apologize but he ignores them. To him it’s hollow words. He calls the dowager queen, your highness since he never felt like her kid. He even stated that he wish to give up his title of prince but his brother refused.
They are stuck in the castle until the break is over. Xilonen is treated frosty by the family but Leona doesn’t respond kindly to that. He openly states that the castle is a prison. Xilonen and Leona to pass the time are napping. The savanna becomes more aware that the prince has a ton of secret abilities that he keeps to himself after they watched him break a thick piece of solid steel with one punch. He also unknowingly revealed that he is far more intelligent than he allows people to see when he answers a seemingly impossible question with a detailed answer about how to solve it. When asked about all of these things, he answers proudly that his mama taught him everything he knows. Breaking his family’s hearts.
More Twisted Wonderland Crossovers! 🤩
Xilonen!MC and Leona are simply adorable in this idea! Her acting as the mom he never really had, and him blooming under her care unlike in canon where jealously got to home is another amazing touch.
And of course Cheka being his adorable self and also inserting himself into the family of two.
Sides that, I would pity the rest of Leona's family, but nah. Reap what you sow as people would say.
