This story is best read after reading my other ROYALTY! AUs:

Part 1 : swords, crowns, and everything in between.

Part 2 : the in-betweens: studies and alchemy

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ───

ANAXAGORAS never thought in his life that he'd grow so attached to a pupil in such a short time, but he knew you were an oddity — not of this Kingdom, bringing warmth to Grove of Epiphany’s gloomy atmosphere.

Once he understands that what he feels for you is beyond what a teacher should feel for a student, Anaxagoras starts to turn into a different person. He's kinder to you; less backhanded compliments and more physical gestures. You start to raise a brow, but a little pleasantry won't hurt anyone, right?

Your peers tell you about how lucky you are that Anaxagoras has a soft spot for you and the maids in Anaxagoras’ estate coos about how they’ve never seen their master so patient with someone; these whispers are building blocks for trust. You don’t know that he does this on purpose, openly making it known that you’re dear to him, letting the rumors fly, all for him to be able to hold you closer to him. Aglaea calls him the Great Performer, after all.

Anaxagoras may only have one eye uncovered, but he isn’t blind to how the Prince and the Knight have their own little rivalry when it comes to you. Which is why you must stay here, in the Murmuring Woods, far away from men who can’t bring you to your full potential like he can. They’re too shallow in their affection, too predictable in their actions.

Anaxagoras knows you're a precious jewel, Mydeimos’ betrothed. But he's a scientist; his purpose of living is to test things to their limits. He won't break you, of course — what's the fun in that? But he'll make sure to take note of everything that pushes you until you're tipping slightly over the edge before making you fall back into his arms.

He’ll intercept the lettes you send to the Marmoreal Palace, and he’ll make sure no letters from outside will arrive to his estate. He burns the letters in his lab, not even bothering to read it, and scatters the ashes away in the Luminary Garden. You’re none the wiser.

When he asks why you seem more upset these past few days, you tell him that you’ve been expecting a letter from your betrothed or your dear friend from the capital city. He clicks his tongue, telling you not to get your hopes up — Mydeimos never prioritizes anything besides running his Kingdom, and Phainon is probably too busy to check his mailbox. You shouldn’t worry your pretty head over those brutes. How about going on a stroll with him in the Luminary Garden instead?

Anaxagoras is good at playing the long game — devilish whispers about how it’s been months since your friends in Okhema have visited you. You’re probably at the bottom of their priority list, a stranger from another kingdom. They must not care about your safety and comfort if it only takes the stupid elder council for them to kick you out of Okhema. Hey, hey, it’s okay! Should you need a place to stay, his estate doors are always open for you.

However, he’s merely a Duke, titles away from being a Prince. When Prince Mydeimos announces that he will be visiting you with his royal cavalry (at the insistence of a certain white-haired knight), Anaxagoras is blinded with rage. The Duke, true to his slender figure, slithers his way through the estate and into your mind so easily.

Anaxagoras tells you the visit is of his insistence — when Anaxagoras saw how lonely you were, how much you missed your friends, he’d requested that the Okhemans conduct a diplomatic visit. He did this all for you. This was, of course, a lie. But without Mydeimos or Phainon to dispel his untruths, who are you to distrust the host who’s been nothing but kind and hospitable to you? He tells you not to tell them about this, to not ask why they stopped writing letters — surely, you understand, they’ve been extremely busy, and seeing you lonely would only add to their worries. You’re a polite noble, you understand, right?

The night before the delegates arrive, Anaxagoras sneaks into your room, standing over your figure. You’re fast asleep, a small smile knowing that your friends will be arriving tomorrow. His hand hovers over your face — if he used alchemy to make you disappear, he’d win. No one else on this world could ever find you; no one else is on his level as an alchemist. He would be the only one to ever see you again.

But he can’t. Anaxagoras is not driven by his heart, he is a man of logic. He could win easily, but that’s no fun. It’s especially not fun when he thinks about how much you’d resent him if he pulled a stunt like that. So he leaves your room as quietly as he came in, burying himself in his research while dreadfully waiting for dawn to come.

Anaxagoras loves the way you jump to his defense (not that he needs it). But when you tell Aglaea that the Duke isn’t all that bad, or when you tell Phainon that the Duke’s estate is starting to feel like a second home, and when you tell Mydeimos that the Duke has not fallen short on entertaining his guest, it boosts his ego to no end. He relishes in the dirty glares and spiteful comments made by the Okheman delegates, knowing that he’s one step closer to having you wrapped around his fingers.

The last step is, of course, to make you stay. As the time of your study starts to approach the end, Anaxagoras sits you down asks you if you truly want to return the Palace. He tells you that the council will only find other ways to separate you from the Prince. You will never feel truly at home while the many eyes of the capital scrutinizes you. But here, in the Murmuring Woods, you do not need to feel that way.

Stay with him, and he promises you everything that the Crown Prince couldn’t give, and more.

the in-betweens: studies and alchemy.

˖ ࣪⭑ ⸱ hi I've been reading isekai romance manhwas with the dukes and I cannot for the life of me stop thinking about duke anaxa. here have this.

˖ ࣪⭑ ⸱ tags : royalty au, love rectangle???

˖ ࣪⭑ ⸱ featuring : DUKE! Anaxa, PRINCE! Mydei, KNIGHT! Phainon.

This story is best read after you've read my previous ROYALTY! AU featuring PRINCE! Mydei and KNIGHT! Phainon.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ───

Duke ANAXA is one of the most notorious aristocrats in the Kingdom of Amphoreus, or so you’ve been told by Royal Advisor Aglaea in more than one of your tea sessions. She warns you of the man who resides in Grove of Epiphany, the scholars’ city – to avoid him unless you want your ears chewed off about his latest mad scientist research. After hearing what Aglaea had to say about the man, you plan on steering clear of him. Unfortunately, fate has twisted plans for you.

MYDEIMOS is the one to break the news to you; the elders in the council aren’t satisfied with the future king getting married to someone who barely knows the history of Amphoreus. Alas, they’ve made the decision to send you to the Grove of Epiphany to study.

MYDEIMOS assures you that it’s not your fault, that you aren’t less qualified to be his betrothed just because you’re of foreign royalty. Should you wish to not leave, he will find a way to make you stay. He gives you time to make the decision.

PHAINON almost drops his cup when you tell him that you agree to study at The Grove. He asks you if you’re sure, but he’s witnessed firsthand your thirst for knowledge, and he also knows that you’d rather inconvenience yourself than MYDEIMOS. PHAINON looks sullen for the rest of the day.

MYDEIMOS tells you that you’ll be studying only for a few months. He’s arranged for your stay in Duke ANAXA’s estate, much to your anxiousness. MYDEIMOS tells you that should Duke be a thorn on your side, he will swiftly take you back to Okhema.

The first time you step into the Murmuring Woods, you are greeted by the large tree that stands out in the middle of the forest. Duke ANAXA is waiting for you as you exit the carriage, and he introduces himself as ANAXAGORAS.

PHAINON, your escort for the journey, is still a Chrysos Knight stationed in Okhema and cannot stay with you, much to his dismay. Despite that, he tells you to write often, and that he’ll be anticipating your return; the Palace will be much lonelier without you.

Contrary to your expectations of the cold Duke, he is surprisingly welcoming in his own aloof way. ANAXAGORAS gives you a tour around his estate; his great library, his off-limits laboratory, and his Luminary Garden. You can tell that despite his huffs and puffs of having to “take care of the council’s whims”, he always accepts those who are eager to learn — a true scholar’s spirit.

The Duke is pleasantly surprised when you call him Duke ANAXAGORAS instead of his shortened name. You say it along with your gratitude for the welcome, and a promise that you’ll study hard during your stay. He brushes off the small smile threatening to pull on his face.

Days with Duke ANAXAGORAS are slow; when you wake up, ANAXAGORAS has left to Nousporist before you, and when you return, he’s locked himself in his lab. There are rare moments where you catch him walking out of his lab, and you invite him to eat dinner together. He wants to refuse, but remembers that you’re MYDEIMOS’ betrothed, and grumbles under his breath before accepting your invitation.

Dinners are a little awkward. He brushes off your attempts of small talk, trying to eat quickly so he can return to his research. Despite this, you still make an effort to talk about what subjects have been interesting you (he doesn’t care, he knows all the things taught in The Grove by heart) and ask him about his research (he says that you’re aeons too early to understand, no offense to your intelligence). Finally, you brave yourself to say that it’s less lonely to eat with ANAXAGORAS than eating alone.

This is what catches ANAXAGORAS off guard; he runs calculations in his mind all the time, tasks to assign the maids, classmates, and professors for your best comfort, but has never once taken into account of how lonely you might feel being in such an unfamiliar place. He clears his throat, but you notice he snaps back at you less.

The next morning, you find ANAXAGORAS by the estate doors, looking bored. When he sees you, he clicks his tongue, quipping about how you’ll be late if you’d taken just another second. Nevertheless, he walks with you to Nousporist.

On the way, he tells you that he cannot walk home with you, but to knock on his laboratory door once it’s dinnertime. ANAXAGORAS swears he’s never seen someone sporting a brighter smile when you nod excitedly, telling him that you’ll be looking forward to dinner.

ANAXAGORAS slowly opens up to you about his own bank of knowledge, and is surprised to find out about your interest in learning alchemy. You’d learned from your peers that ANAXAGORAS is the most skilled alchemist, and you tell him that you want to learn from the best.

This is how ANAXAGORAS ends up staying up with you late into the nights, practicing basic alchemy in the Luminary Garden. He scoffs when you get excited after learning a basic transmutation, taking his hands in yours and jumping around giddily, but he can’t deny you a small smile and a pat on the head.

With your little time in The Grove, you work hard to finish your studies. ANAXAGORAS have always liked diligent students, but he’s especially fond of you, offering small praises whenever you ace a quiz. Though it’ll be a backhanded compliment most of the time, you can feel the sincerity of it.

One day, MYDEIMOS and PHAINON drops by for a diplomatic visit. You greet both the Prince and the Knight with a hug before running your mouth about the great time you’ve had thus far as a student. Amidst the catch-up, you miss how Duke ANAXAGORAS’ face scrunches ever so slightly. It doesn’t take a genius to see how smitten the Prince is, as well as how clingy the Knight seems to be around you.

When you tell MYDEIMOS and PHAINON about how the Duke’s been taking good care of you, ANAXAGORAS can’t help the smirk that creeps on his face, especially seeing the glare that MYDEIMOS shoots him and the way PHAINON’s smile drops.

But what can they do? In The Grove, Duke ANAXAGORAS is more respected than the Prince, nevermind the Knights. As long as you’re still on his turf, MYDEIMOS and PHAINON can do nothing but await your return. And Duke ANAXAGORAS will make sure to take great care of you, for as long as you’re around.

˖ ࣪⭑ ⸱ tags : royalty au, love triangle, angst (if you squint)

˖ ࣪⭑ ⸱ featuring : PRINCE! Mydei, KNIGHT! Phainon.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: .☽ . :☆ﾟ. ───

MYDEIMOS, who is introduced to you as the Crowned Prince of Amphoreus, your future husband. Your father had made arrangements for your marriage, a necessary political move, given that your kingdom is not as remarkable in military prowess.

MYDEIMOS, who, on the way to Okhema, tells you about the Marmoreal Palace, where he resides, and where you’ll eventually call home. About how cold the nights are, and that should you need extra coats, you should inform the maids.

PHAINON, who greets you with a bow when you reach the front of Marmoreal Palace. MYDEIMOS introduces him as the head of the Chrysos Knights, protectors of Amphoreus. He tells you that PHAINON will be here to protect you.

MYDEIMOS, who leads you to your chambers. When you open the door, you’re surprised to see it’s decorated with relics of your own kingdom. Traditional dressing table by the bed, and paintings of your castle. You turn to MYDEIMOS, thanking him sincerely. In return, he clears his throat and looks away.

PHAINON, who knocks on your door in the mornings to bring you breakfast. He is your companion when MYDEIMOS isn’t available, which is most days. As long as he is there to escort you, you are free to explore Okhema as you wish.

PHAINON, who seems more excited than you every time you try a new food stall at Marmoreal Market. He does not let you pay for anything, because MYDEIMOS has taken care of shouldering all your expenses.

MYDEIMOS, who isn’t one for idle chit-chat, but slowly starts asking you about how your day went during suppers — an effort to bridge the chasm that separates you and the cold Prince. Suppers are now one of the times in the day you look forward to the most.

PHAINON, who always checks on you after his nightly patrols. Many times, he catches you longing for home, sometimes drowning in your own tears. He drags a chair by your bed and holds your hand, slowly caressing your hair until you drift to sleep.

MYDEIMOS, who on his off days, invites you to the library, where you can read about the extensive history of the Eternal Land of Amphoreus while he does his paperwork. When you notice him start to furrow his brows even deeper than usual, you brew him a tea from your homeland. He gives you a sheepish thank you.

PHAINON, who you excitedly share stories about your homeland to. He is a great listener, always eager to hear more about what your life was like before Amphoreus. PHAINON makes an effort to study simple phrases in your language in hopes of making you laugh, because he thinks that your laugh is a beautiful melody.

PHAINON, who somehow manages to get his hands on a cookbook from your kingdom, and excitedly picks out fresh produce with you from the Palace greenhouse to cook your favorite meals together.

MYDEIMOS, who starts to notice you mentioning PHAINON more and more when you’re telling him about your daily routine during supper. He grips his fork tighter every time you mention the captain’s name, the things you did with him, how much fun you’re having exploring the city with PHAINON.

PHAINON, who furrows his brows when he sees MYDEIMOS in front of your door in the morning. Usually, PHAINON is the last one you see before you close your eyes, and the first one who greets you when you open your eyes. So why was the Prince here before him?

MYDEIMOS, who orders PHAINON to put away the breakfast tray and instead pass on his message to the cook to prepare a basketful of food. When PHAINON asks about the occassion, MYDEIMOS only gives a short curt answer about how he will be out the Palace that day.

MYDEIMOS, who greets you with a new dress when you wake up. You’re taken aback by the sudden gesture, and when you ask what it’s for, he tells you that he’s inviting you for a picnic.

PHAINON, who waves to you as the carriage leaves, leaving him behind in the Palace. He curls his fist and takes a deep breath: what is he thinking? You’re betrothed to his prince, he should not be feeling anything towards you, though that’s easier said than done. Even if you had felt the same things towards him, PHAINON could never give you the life you deserve — he’s no prince. He doesn’t have the power to give you the life of comfort you deserve.

MYDEIMOS, who listens intently as you tell him about the meal you cooked with PHAINON the other day, praising the knight to be an adept cook. He nods at the things you say, but in his head, MYDEIMOS is thinking about how happier you seem to be with PHAINON. Of course you would choose the friendly, caring knight over the broken prince, unable to express his emotions. Could he ever be the husband you deserve?
