Summary: An angsty Royal AU where Alexis (OFC), as her fathers only daughter and therefore the kingdoms only Princess, is sent to marry a Prince of their rival Kingdom to ensure Peace. However, after arriving at her new home, Alexis quickly finds out not all is what it seems…

Author’s Note: Hello lovelies! Did I start another series even though I’ve already got one still ongoing??? yes yes I did...

But in my defence I've had this idea sitting for a while and finally got round to doing something with it!!! I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.

Also a side note this will contain SKZxSKZ relationships... obviously these are written for fanfic and not based on reality so please don't take them seriously... this is all just for fun and entertainments sake :)

I’m a little nervous about posting this one but enjoy <3

Alexis straightened her skirts nervously. Her outfit felt heavy and suffocating in the warm sunlight that streamed through a large side window. The climate was so much warmer here than the cooler weather she was used to back home.

Elora stepped in front of her, deft fingers fixing Alexis’ collar as she told the older girl briskly, “Walk in there with your head held high and show them what you’re made of.”

Alexis smiled down at her sister and best friend, grasping one of her hands tightly. “What would I do without you?” She asked rhetorically as Elora took a step back, staying on Alexis’ right where she would always be within sight.

“You would be a mess,” Elora replied unnecessarily in a deadpan voice, drawing a surprised laugh from her sister.

Suddenly the double doors in front of the two girls was flung wide open and a herald bellowed loudly into the large space behind. “Princess Alexis, Duchess of Vitova and Alzilicia, beloved Daughter of King Tobias of Mava.” He took a breath then continued as the girls took their first steps through the doorway. “And her companion, Lady Elora.”

Alexis concentrated on not tripping over her cumbersome skirts, keeping her eyes on the floor until she reached the foot of a set of stairs that led up onto a low platform.

Pausing at the end, she sunk into a low curtesy, seeing Elora copy the movement in her peripheral vision, and finally looked up.

She sucked in a breath, wobbling a little in the curtsey she was still holding, as her eyes swept over eight imposing figures ranged around the front of the room.

Standing proud in the centre was who, she imagined must be, the King she had heard so much about. King Chan didn’t look as imposing as his reputation would suggest, an easy smile gracing his lips, his black hair cut short and shockingly coloured a bright ruby red on top.

Standing slightly back from his right shoulder was a man with the sculptured looks of a statue, and to the kings left stood four boys, who Alexis assumed were the Kings younger brothers, the Princes of Roalun. Alexis let her eyes linger on the four figures, wondering which one was Prince Changbin, her soon to be husband.

Finally her gaze fell on two boys, standing to the side of the platform, her eyes widening as she took in the most beautiful people she had ever seen. One was tall and lean, long blonde locks falling over his forehead, partly covering intense liquid brown eyes. The other was shorter with a petite figure and silvery blonde hair that seemed to shine even in the shadows he stood in. But it was his eyes that drew the most attention. One was such a dark brown that it looked black, the other, in stark contrast was a shockingly bright light blue. The pair made such an achingly beautiful sight that Alexis had to advert her eyes but couldn’t stop herself continuing to steal glances in their direction.

Alexis straightened from her curtesy and, heeding her sisters advice, held her head high, fixing the King with an unwavering gaze.

To her surprise King Chan smiled even wider at her and launched himself down the stairs, wrapping her in a tight hug when he reached the bottom.

“Welcome, Princess Alexis. The Kingdom of Roalun is so pleased to have you here at last.”

The King pulled back and kissed her on both cheeks.

Alexis startled a little, feeling unbalanced as she replied slightly stiffly, “Thank you for the kind welcome, Your Majesty.”

“Oh none of that,” the King scoffed, waving a hand at her. “We are soon to be Brother and Sister. Chan will do just fine.” Chan motioned for the five boys still up on the platform to join him.

He grabbed the sculpted man first, pulling him to his side and wrapping an arm lovingly around his waist. “Let me introduce you to my Husband, Prince Minho.”

Minho inclined his head, his feelings hidden behind his cool expression. “It’s wonderful to meet you, Princess Alexis.”

“Just Alexis please,” Alexis insisted, getting the feeling that this court preferred a less formal approach to their Royalty.

“And these three are my baby brothers.” The boys grimaced at the title, none of them looking even close to being babies. “Prince Jisung, Prince Seungmin and the youngest, Prince Jeongin.”

Alexis’ eyes drifted over the three very different brothers but her gaze settled at the last boy, standing silently, head bowed.

“And this is Prince Changbin, Heir to Roalun and your future spouse,” Chan introduced so casually that Alexis fought not to wince at the informality.

Changbin finally looked up, bowing low to her. “It is a great pleasure to meet you, Princess. I hope your time here will be agreeable.”

Alexis felt her heart drop at his distant but polite distant tone. His greeting made it sound like she was only visiting for a holiday, not moving to a completely foreign kingdom to become his wife.

Before she could speak to him at all, Changbin gave her another quick bow and then turned to Chan. “I really must be going, brother. The Generals are waiting for me.”

Chan’s brow creased into a frown but he nodded his consent. Changbin retreated at a brisk pace, Alexis watching after him in confusion.

Chan cleared his throat. “Unfortunately my brothers position as the Head of Military keeps him very busy.”

Alexis smiled and nodded her understanding, hiding her consternation behind what she hoped was a polite bland expression.

Chan then beckoned to the two boys still standing to one side.  “And these two fine gentlemen are my brothers, Lord Hyunjin and Lord Felix.”

Hyunjin groaned in a dramatic voice, rolling his eyes as he approached. “You know how I hate being introduced as Lord, Channie,” the tall blonde complained. He reached over and grasped one of Alexis’ hands, placing a quick kiss onto the back of it, smiling crookedly up at her. “I’m so happy to meet you, Alexis. I’m very glad to finally be adding some femininity to our little family.”

Chan glared at the inappropriate words while Alexis struggled not to turn and look at Elora as she heard the other girl suppressing laughter.

Alexis concentrated her attention back on the King. “I thought you only had four brothers?” She questioned unthinkingly, her curiosity around the weird dynamic of this foreign court getting the better of her.

Chan gave a loud bark of laughter, pleased at her straight forwardness. “Hyunjin and Felix’s father was my father’s best friend and advisor. When their parents passed away my father took them in as his own. We’ve spent our whole lives together.”

Alexis turned her eyes on the two brothers, Felix having joined them, standing silently next Hyunjin. “I’m very sorry for your loss. I didn’t mean to pry.”

“It’s fine. Ask away,” Hyunjin said flippantly, waving his hands around airily. “This is to be your family as well. You have a right to ask about it.”

“Talking about family,” Alexis turned and beckoned Elora towards her, grabbing hold of the younger girls arm and holding her tight against her side, relieved at her solid presence. “This is my sister, Lady Elora.”

“Just Elora please,” Elora interrupted, shaking her head at the formal title.

“Lovely to meet you, Elora,” Chan said, smiling widely at Alexis�� sister, putting Alexis at ease.

Alexis immediately felt favourable towards anyone who treated Elora with kindness and respect. The younger girl had too often received scorn and distain from others, making Alexis very protective of her sister.

“I’m sure you are tired after your long journey,” the one called Jisung spoke up, clearly picking up the signs of exhaustion that both Alexis and Elora was exhibiting. “Should I show you to your rooms now so you can have a rest before dinner?” The kind boy posed it as a question, not wanting to impose on them.

“If His Majes…” Alexis stopped herself and continued pink staining her cheeks, unused to such informality. “If Chan does not mind us being excused. A rest sounds wonderful right now.”

Chan frowned a little, concern creasing his brow. “Oh dear. In my excitement I forgot what a long day you’ve both had. Of course you may go, please. Go rest and we can talk more over dinner.”

Chan gave both Alexis and Elora tight hugs before Jisung beckoned for them to follow him out. Alexis and Elora curtseyed to the royal family and then exited the throne room, feeling much more relaxed than when they had entered.

Jisung chatted amiably as he led them through a maze of corridors before stopping in front of a pair of large doors. Alexis looked at the masterpiece in front of her in awe as she heard Elora’s quiet exclamation of amazement.

Jisung had a smug look on his face. “Do you like them? They were specifically made for you. In fact the whole room was specifically decorated for you.”

Alexis felt her heart constrict at the startling act of thoughtfulness that she hadn’t expected when being forced into an arranged marriage in a country at war with her own.

The doors were painted a solid gold with beautifully ornate pearl and turquoise inlays making up intricate patterns of flowers and animals. Alexis raised a hand to brush against a perfect depiction of a peacock with full plumage proudly of display.

“He heard you liked animals.” Jisung’s voice pulled Alexis out of her reverie and back to the present.

“Who heard?” She asked unthinkingly, still in awe of the artwork that was simply the entrance to her rooms.

“Changbin of course,” Jisung said matter-of-factly, reaching over and pushing the doors open. “The inside is all Hyunjin though,” the boy continued as he stepped inside, Elora following close behind him.

Alexis took one more moment to admire the first sign of consideration that she’d received from her future spouse, before following the other two inside.

This time the opulence before her made Alexis’ jaw drop and eyes widen in shock, as she turned in a full 360 to try and take in every detail surrounding them.

The colour palette of the door was continued into the rooms, gold, pearl and turquoise hues mirrored throughout the furnishings and decorations.

They were standing in a large sitting area, the ceiling draped in gold and white cloth, a large brazier of gold hung from the ceiling dripping strings of pearls that sparkled in the late afternoon light. The chairs were large and comfy, their brilliant turquoise upholstery offset by gold trim. A low table stood before a fireplace, surrounded by multicoloured floor cushions and covered by an intricately embroidered table runner that depicted brightly coloured scenes of animals found in Roalun. Through a set of white shuttered doors to her right, Alexis could see an absolutely enormous fourposter bed draped with beautiful hangings of sheer gold and turquoise.

But what attracted Alexis attention the most were the doors directly in front of her that were flung wide open giving an unobstructed view of the outside. She walked over, feeling like she was in a haze, out onto a large balcony, pressing up against the railing as she took in the view.

As the Palace was built strategically at the top of a hill, the city of Epiris was laid out like a tapestry below her, extending down the slope until it hit the bank of Lake Lilies, continuing to spread along the lakes edge on either side. The lake was a breathtaking sight, glistening in the sunlight, large enough that you could barely glimpse the other side. She could see from her position the place where the Mairis River flowed into the lake and immediately took in the two garrison towers on either side, brows pinching when she remembered exactly why she was here.

“Beautiful isn’t it?” Jisung said as he came to stand beside her. Elora was still inside, already starting to unpack their trunks, always happier when things were in their proper place.

“It’s stunning,” Alexis agreed, closing her eyes for a moment and basking in the sunlight. They stood in silence for a moment, Alexis feeling slightly bewildered with how comfortable she was already feeling in her new home.

“Can I ask you something?” Jisung sounded hesitant. “You don’t have to answer if you don’t feel like it.”

Alexis opened her eyes and looked over at him. He now had his back towards the view, leaning against the railing as he fixed her with a serious look.

“Sure.”

“Did you have a choice? About coming here, I mean?”

Alexis considered the question for a moment, her silence making the other boy jittery.

“Not exactly,” Alexis finally answered. “I’m sure if I had put up more of a fuss, the King wouldn’t have sent me, but I’m also pretty sure if I’d done that he would’ve renounced my title, leaving me with no prospects and no way to keep Elora safe.”

Jisungs expression softened, pity shining in his eyes. “Not really a choice then,” he commented softly.

“Not really, no,” Alexis replied, giving him a small smile. He returned it with one of understanding, making Alexis wonder what non-choices had been given to him and the close-knit family around him.

“You know we didn’t even know Roalun had a Princess until Chan told us about you coming to marry one of us,” a voice chimed up from behind them, making both of them spin around in shock. Jeongin, the baby of the family, stood in the doorway, his face openly curious.

“Jeongin, you can’t just walk into other peoples rooms,” Jisung berated his younger brother, looking ready to throttle the boy.

“The door was open.” Jeongin shrugged slightly, not seemingly bothered by the scolding.

He fixed his gaze back on Alexis. “Are you really a Princess? Because I learnt in History that King Tobias only had sons.”

Jisung whacked the younger boy over the head. “You don’t ask questions like that you dimwit!”

“It’s okay. He should know if I’m to be his sister-in-law,” Alexis consoled the embarrassed elder boy.

She turned her gaze back to Jeongin. “My father is the King but my mother isn’t Queen Lillian. My mother is her sister, Lady Edelyn, the former Duchess of Vitova and Alzilicia. The Princes are my half-brothers. The reason you didn’t know that Roalun had a Princess is because up until a month ago there wasn’t one. Although the King had claimed me as his daughter, I was still only a Lady, one day to be Duchess of my mother lands. However, when the King saw an opportunity to seal the Peace Treaty with Roalun by connecting our two Kingdoms through marriage, he gave me the title of Princess and shipped me off here, and as my mother is dead there was no one to stop him doing it.”

Jeongin looked shocked, eyes wide as he tried to make sense of Alexis’ story. Jisung on the other hand didn’t look surprised, his expression empathetic, which made the newly made Princess feel a little bit better about exposing her complicated past.

“Does that make you a Princess as well?” Jeongin unthinkingly asked Elora as the other girl joined them.

Alexis stiffened, immediately shooting Jeongin a glare, even though she knew he didn’t mean any harm by it.

Elora grimaced and shook her head, quickly blurting out, “No, I will never be a Princess,” before quickly disappearing back inside.

Jisung slapped Jeongin over the head once again. “Idiot!”

“Wait, what did I say?” Jeongin was genuinely confused which made Alexis soften her irritation at the younger boy slightly.

“It’s a sensitive topic for Elora. Just leave it alone, alright,” she told him, a hand going to her forehead and her exhaustion finally caught up with her.

“If you don’t mind, I think I might go lay down for a bit,” she told the two boys, walking back inside.

“Of course. Someone will come and get get you when it’s time for dinner,” Jisung said, taking Jeongins arm and dragging him out of the room with him. Jeongin smiled widely and gave Alexis a cute wave goodbye before the door slammed shut in his face.

Alexis smiled and gave a chuckle at the cute boy, shaking her head as she went to check on Elora.

She found her sister already asleep on top of the covers of her bed in her own slightly smaller room. Her face was still scrunched in distress and Alexis reached out a hand to smooth the hair off of her forehead, Elora immediately relaxing at her touch. Sighing, Alexis grabbed a rug and covered her up, quietly tiptoeing out of the room and softly closing the door behind her.

Fighting to keep her eyes open, she stumbled into her own room and crawled into the massive bed, burrowing deep under the covers.

The last thing she saw before succumbing to sleep was the detailed picture of a Mountain Lion painted onto the ceiling of her room, the sparkling afternoon sunlight making it look alive.

41 - Bless Me

You’re not the most religious sort, but a blessing is a blessing, by your way of thinking. You wait until you’re sure Murph is moving towards the arch, and swipe the oil over your closed eyelids, murmuring “so mote it be.”

Catching up with the baron and his valet, you see they’ve been stopped by a deeply recessed door. The vine motif continues into the alcove beyond the arch; delicately sculpted grey stone, dotted with white marble flowers, wends its way over wood and iron. Standing back a bit and casting your eyes about the room, you realize the entire space is decorated to evoke garden walls. Inlays of darker stone, which you took to be marks of age before, are in fact subtle mosaics of plant-life. The passage you came through, and another not far from it - the Ithildaerow entrance - both bear sprays of forsythia above them.

Caspin has his folded sheet of paper out of his pocket again, and is unfolding and refolding it, apparently looking for some clue to open the door. You edge around him and see where the vines cross, effectively forming bars over the wood. There’s no handle in the door, and the hinges are hidden from view. You run your hands over what you can reach of the threshold, and announce that you believe it’s a false door.

“A false door?” Caspin mutters indignantly, leaning away from it to peer at the structure as a whole.

You nod and tell him to have a look at the frame. You point out how tightly it fits and how sturdy the carving is. You admit it’s possible the door worked once upon a time, but if so, then someone with the magic to grow stone has quite effectively blocked it.

“But why do you say it’s a false door?” he asks you. “What makes you believe there’s another entrance?”

You run your thumb over one of the marble flowers, feeling glad you spent some time in the forest with family recently. You tell Caspin the vine is climbing pelacupta - liars vine. One of your aunts grows the stuff around her garden gate. Stepping back into the room proper again, you look left and right to find the place where the vine continues several feet away - this batch actually embedded in the wall.

Pointing out the large, threatening-looking thorns you tell them how, on the living plant, those thorns are false. They’re nothing but shiny bright red leaves meant to scare off predators. You tip your head to the side, following the path of the thorns, then, finding the place where they seem to grow thickest, you reach out to put your weight against the stone.

To your utter shock, you fall through the wall.

You stumble, but manage to keep your feet. Looking about, you find you’re in another corridor. The wall behind you is unbroken, and the passageway curves off to your left and your right. On the right side you can see a fork in the path a few yards up. Stepping to your left a little you find an intersection: the corridor continues on ahead of you, but a second hallway here starts at the arched door to the left, and runs on into the dark on the right.

You smile grimly at the sight of the sculpted liars vine growing through the door and across the floor for several feet. You look at the way the strands bunch together in places, and you kneel down. You’re able to work the pry-bar in past a knot of flowers and push at the flooring beneath. You feel the slightest bit of give and pull back, getting to your feet immediately. There’s some kind of a trap foiled there, and you’re not interested in setting it off.

As you turn back the way you came, Darrel comes jogging up to you, tail high. He begins sniffing you over at once, then - apparently judging you to be in one piece - he moves from you to the corridor at large. He follows slowly as you retrace your steps. Just before you reach the illusion-covered opening, Caspin and Murph slip through it to join you.

You start to tell them about the other side of the original door, and the trap beneath it, when a bit of shine catches your eye. You blink, thinking perhaps your eyes are just getting tired from so much use of them in the full dark. But blinking only makes the shine clearer: more vines, these made of sparks of light, as though a path of broken glass were catching the glow of the lantern.

Caspin doesn’t seem to notice you’ve trailed off in your explanation. He’s looking right and left along the corridor with a critical glare. “Yes. Well done. But we’re in the maze of it now, I think. This place was built over time by both sides of the family. Who knows what traps each has laid to protect our dead.”

“And where do we begin?” Murph asks.

“I have a thought,” Caspin murmurs, glancing at his folded notes, “But I’m not certain…”

He’s looking towards the liars vine door, and Murph is following his gaze. You realize neither of them sees the glimmering vine trail that you do, the spark of it clearly wending away in the opposite direction.

- Convince them to follow your lead, but don’t tell them why.

- Tell them what you see.

- Let Caspin lead from his notes.

meta: rooms in the castle

send me a topic to write a meta about my muse on

Ylisstol Castle is a very old castle that was renovated and updated two generations before Emmeryn. The walls of it, the bones of the castle itself, can be dated back hundreds of years in Ylisse’s history. But her grandparents, during a swell of prosperity and wealth for the country, decided to update the rooms and the interior designs. They covered cold stone floors with polished wood, installed columns and valances and plaster molding everywhere, making the once ancient and dull looking castle into a bright and modern palace. 

Ylisstol Castle has MANY rooms. The renovation not just updated the design and interior architecture of the castle, but it also redistributed the space. Where there used to be many stories of the castle with high ceilings and wide open rooms for spacious meetings, not the rooms on the upper floors are cut in half or thirds and redistributed to becomes private parlors, toilette rooms, bathing rooms, small guest chambers, and so forth. 

Of these rooms, the most notable by the public are on the first floor, the foyer, the throne room, and the grand ballroom. The foyer is the first room anyone sees upon entering the castle. It has a very high ceiling, lined with alabaster columns. The vaulted ceiling has a pale pink base and is decorated with intricate and stunning white carved inlays and a large central painting of mythological figures and saints of Ylisse’s history. The throne room is another very large room with very high, vaulted ceilings. It is lined with windows on both sides, which look out on some of the castle’s interior courtyards. The throne room is a long room with more columns and it leads to a low bearing dais that houses the Exalted throne, which is a very old wooden throne carved with a rendition of the dragon Naga along the back of it. The throne room is decorated with tapestries and hanging flags of Ylisse’s history. The grand ballroom is a circular room that is on the left side of the castle’s first floor. It is built along something of a hill, and so where it could have been made into a basement, the rooms were combined to become a glorious two-storied ballroom. One side of the ballroom is lined in glass doors and windows, which lead out to some of the castle’s grand gardens, including the hedge maze. The ballroom has a lacquered parquet floor along the circle of it, and it has two curved staircases along the backside which leads up to the rest of the first floor, and has a small balcony landing that looks out at the ballroom below. It is a very elegant means of an entry way for guests. There is also a huge crystal chandelier hanging from the molded ceiling, and there is a small area that rests underneath the viewing balcony for another small dais to be placed, where special cushioned chairs for the royal family are placed.

The other floors consist largely of meeting rooms, parlors, and special rooms for different uses. There is a conservatory full of the most beautiful instruments, a large library that takes up two floors joined together, a sun room that looks out over the water gardens, a private breakfast room for the royal family, quarters for magical practice and lessons. So on and so on.

The royal family themselves live on the third floor, with their own special sets of elaborate and grand chambers. There is a royal nursery, which is prepared specially for every new infant born into the exalted line. Then there are a series of quarters for each member of the family. At the current, with only three members, Chrom and Lissa live in their own chambers which consist of a central bedroom, a dressing room, a personal bathing room, and a greeting room/small parlor. Emmeryn, being the current Exalt, has more rooms in her chambers. Emmeryn has a large central bedroom, two dressing rooms, a private bathing room, three private parlors, an office, and an open greeting room that connects to her office. The other rooms on the third floor are not in use most of the time. They’re left on reserve for any more members of the exalted family that might come about, but since there are only three at the current, these spare chambers are used as guest rooms for very close friends and guests of the exalted family.

Outside, the castle has a myriad of gardens. There are the large, grand gardens like the hedge maze, the water gardens, and the public walking gardens. Then there are some smaller gardens, like Queen Karina’s Grove, and the Statue Garden. On the far end of Ylisstol Castles grounds, which lead away from the city, there are hills of wide lawns and grassy land that leads to a wooded, untamed area in the back.

Attached to the castle on the first floor, right side, there is a special and old stone temple to Naga, where all special services and private prayer takes place in the castle. 

Servants’ quarters are on the first floor and in the basement area which is built along the side of the hill on the left side of the castle. The kitchens are placed in the basement too.

And this is just an over view, tbh. I base the castle off of a renovated roccocco style architecture, so you better believe it gets REALLY INTRICATE. there are SO MANY ROOMS.
