Soo..... Yeah... I made another one.

Y'all remember that scene in chev's route where Emma was on a ladder and then fell and chev did nothing and just watched? Yeah, that's where this came from.

Oh and I made this also.

That's Nokto hugging her btw. They have a weird foxes flocking together type of relationship.

Not necessarily friends but more like, the person who carries Nokto back home.

And you can bet your ass that he just wrapped his greasy ass self around her like it's nobodies business all drunk and smelling like "midnight trysts" 🤮. You can't blame her for being annoyed.

Do You Believe Me Now - Gilbert von Obsidian x Reader (Ikemen Prince)

A/N: I know the recent story event involves a child!Emma. But I thought what if the little girl in the card sitting on Gilbert's lap wasn't Emma but was his daughter.

Pairing: Gilbert von Obsidian x Reader

Prompt: Dadbert

Tags: fluff; mentions of occurrences in recent story event; do not read if avoiding all spoilers; female-bodied reader (no pronouns used but reader referred to as "mama")

“What’s the matter, darling?” 

I kneeled down next to my young daughter, her eyes wide and glassy, tears ready to spring at any moment, staining the apples of her cheeks. In her hands was her beloved plush black tiger.

“Papa…” her small voice was sad as she held out her toy. “He got ripped.”

I took the tiger in my hands, my gloved finger running over the spot where the seam came apart and white fluffy stuffing was visible. 

“Maybe Uncle Walter could fix him.”

My single red eye narrowed as I stared intensely into her eyes. “Absolutely not. Can I tell you a secret?” The little girl nodded, clearly eager to hear my secret.

Standing up, I took a seat in the nearby chair. I patted my thigh, inviting her to join me, something I have done practically every day since she was able to walk. I smiled as she ran over, the black tiger dangling in her hands, dancing through the air. Climbing up my leg, she nestled her small body against my chest, not bothered by my low temperature.

She looked up at me, her eyes big and wide, as she tightly clutched the plush tiger in both of her tiny hands. Dipping my head, I brought my mouth close to her ear so that she could easily hear me speak my secret.

“I know how to sew.”

“I don’t believe you. If you can sew, then show me. What have you sewn, papa?”

Stubborn, just like her mother.

“Who do you think made all of mama’s dresses?”

“I don’t know, she bought them at the store.”

Anger boiled inside me; a deep breath quickly quelled its rage. Perish the thought of another crafting clothes for the little rabbit. My little rabbit. 

“No,” I replied, a genuine, soft smile spreading on my lips as my heart swelled with pride. “I made them. I make all of your mother’s clothes.”

My child looked away for a moment, her lips pursed tight while in thought. “What about my clothes?”

“I make your clothes, too.”

“Even the dress I’m wearing today?” 

“Even the dress you’re wearing today.” Her gaze fell to the skirt of her dress, making a pleased humming sound as her fingers traced over its hem. She then held out her tiger, offering him to me.

“You can fix him, papa. Please.” Taking the tiger in one hand, I patted her head with the other, the action mildly comforting to me. “For fixing my tiger and for sharing your secret with me, I’d like to tell you a secret.”

“Oh?” My eye widened with surprise – what kind of secret could my small child be harboring?

“Mama told me about a boy.”

A boy? I clenched my hands in tight fists, listening quietly as she continued. 

“She told me all about this boy. How kind he is. How he always looks at the good in others. How he always tries to make others smile.” She looked at me nervously before she said the words that made my stomach drop.

“Papa, I think I love this boy.”

I shut my eye, needing a moment to pretend I didn’t hear what I just heard. One. Two. Three. My eye opened, volcanic red flashed with murderous intent. 

“I think I should meet this boy.”

“Silly papa.” My sweet daughter laughed, the sound bright and bubbly as her eyes crinkled into tiny little crescents. “You are the boy!” 

“Oh…” My body tensed, turning rigid, not wanting to correct her mistake – that the little boy no longer existed.

Nuzzling her face against my chest, her soft voice was muffled by my thick cloak. “I love you, papa.”

“I love you, too,” I replied, my hand patting her head once more.

She soon pulled away, her absence from my chest creating an ache in my heart. She looked at me, staring into my single red eye as if it was the most fascinating thing to behold.

“Your eye is so pretty,” she said as she reached out, her tiny fingers gently stroking my temple, her skin soft and warm, so much unlike mine. “Sometimes it sparkles, and it’s so radiant. Like a ruby. And other times, like now…”

She looked at me sadly, I saw so much of myself in her face at that brief moment. I knew what she was about to say, and I couldn’t stop her. It was the truth. Like her father, she was more mature than the number of candles on her birthday cake.

“Your eye isn’t sparkling. Like you’re lonely or missing someone.”

I swallowed, not wanting to acknowledge her words. 

But I was soon saved.

I heard footsteps approaching the room. Looking up, I saw you. You leaned lazily against the doorframe, spying on a private moment between father and daughter. Your dress was an exact replica of that of your daughter’s.

I would know; I made them both.

“Oh!” the little girl exclaimed excitedly. “Your sparkle is back! Mama must be nearby.” She wriggled off your lap, leaving her tiger in your care as she ran off to see you.

“Papa is going to fix my tiger!”

“Oh, I’m so happy for you!” You looked up, our gazes meeting in a knowing smile. “You know, I just saw Uncle Roderich in the hallway. I think he might have some of that special candy you like so much. You should go look for him.”

I laughed as she pranced out of the room. If only all our lives were innocent enough to allow us to drop everything for a bit of candy. I caught your gaze again, the look you’re giving me far from innocent. 

Impatient, I rose from my chair and approached you. “I missed you,” I murmured as my lips brushed against yours in a kiss. 

One kiss led to two kisses, which led to many more kisses. My fingers dug into your back as I held your body tight against mine, afraid if I let you go, the loneliness might overwhelm me.

My kisses grew wild and frantic. I bit your lip, hard enough to make you yelp. 

“You lied to her,” I whispered sadly, my head tilted like a pathetic puppy dog. “The boy you told her about doesn’t exist.”

We stood there staring at the other, the silence deafening. I shocked even myself when I cupped your cheek, so very gently, and brought your lips to meet mine. 

“For such a violent man, your kisses are so very tender,” you whispered in between my kisses. Pulling back, you gazed into my eye, your expression soft and adoring as you pressed your palm against my pounding heart. “Maybe that little boy isn’t lost after all.”

Do you believe me now? That I love you fiercely and unconditionally. That my love for you is undying. Maybe you do. And maybe that is why you were kissing me back the way that you were.

IkePri Ship Suggestions

What kinds of suitor x suitor ships you have for the game? Why do you like them as a ship? I am looking for suggestions and inspiration. Anything that doesn't include incest or Gilbert will be added to my testing list for when I get to any future or past polyamory prompts (your suggestions don't need to be for more than two characters as I am including an MC - Emma, Reader or OC - to the poly part).

IkeVamp crossover ships are also very welcome if you have any.

The Obsidianite Jewel

A fem!reader x Chevalier Michel Fanfiction

Chapter 14 -> Chapters Masterlist

Words: 3329

Warnings: none

Summary: It all started when your fiancé, Prince Gilbert, brought you to the palace of Rhodolite. He hoped he would find the secrets of the princes. Instead, he lost your heart to the brutal beast. However, Gilbert is not going to let your heart wander away easily

"Be quiet!", whispered Yves, "We'll get an earful if we're noticed"

"Oh come on", laughed Leon, "We're hardly children. Sariel can't say anything to us. And I doubt his majesty cares"

He winked at Emma as he climbed atop the bannister and slid all the way down to the ground floor. Emma laughed as the lion prince took a graceful bow.

Yves blew his fringe away from his face. "And I'd appreciate it if you weren't this familiar with my girlfriend", he murmured.

Emma slowed down her pace and leaned in to give him a small peck on the cheek. Yves' face turned red like a radish. He turned his head away, his honey-blonde hair falling over his blushed cheeks and nose, keeping them out of sight. But his shy smile was evident.

Licht greeted the two of them at the entrance. He was standing straight, hand on the hilt of his sword. He looked around for guards and signalled the rest to follow, treating their childish dalliance as an important military mission. Jin was with him, body sprayed on the stairs as he enjoyed a glass of whiskey and smiled at the silly seriousness of his younger brother.

The five of them made their way to town. It was no accident that the guards left them alone, as attempting to stop them would be going against their orders. However, they all treated the lack of resistance as proof of their successful endeavour. They reached a small tavern, tucked in an alley near the central square. Jin and Leon favoured that place and always took any opportunity to steal some time in there. For Yves and Licht it was a first. Yves would not be there at all if Jin had not convinced Licht to follow them on that day, claiming there was suspicious movement in the area; a lie, of course.

They bathed in the golden candlelight of the tavern the moment they opened its door, a far contrast to the blue hue of the night that reigned in the town. A sweet tune on the lute filled their ears. The atmosphere was warmer than usual, that much was clear. The place was much more crowded, even though it was later at night than when the princes used to frequent. People sat on their tables all around, their backs turned to the door, drinks in hand as they looked at the far back of the room. Their gazes were focused on a slim young man with untamable curly hair. He was the one playing the lute, his dexterous fingers plucking the strings with grace and elegance as he sang his song as if he were telling a story. The people were drawn as much from his voice as from his smile. He played a few chords, setting an end to the ballad.

He laughed as he called, "Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you remember the words!"

He smiled sneakily at his audience as he climbed up on a small stage behind him, where a small band of local musicians sat. He began playing again, his tempo shifting to a much faster one. He started singing loudly, pouring all his passion into the words as the band joined alongside him.

"And a princess gone and two brothers left from a kingdom's rotten view

though she was first and valiant, a black sword ran her through",

he climbed on the nearest table,

"And though they never could amount to her talent and her wit

they still looked up and loved her cause she'd do the same for him.

Oh the Thorn Princess, the destined Queen,

a guardian of the weak.

The Thorn Princess, the destined Queen,

the one whose crown we'll free"

His green eyes sparkled as he took in the applause that followed his song. He gave a graceful bow, executed to perfection and better than any actor's ever dreamed.

"Thank you, thank you!", he cried, hand elegantly waving in the air His eyes had already spotted the small company of royals, even though they were doing a decent job of being inconspicuous. He approached their table after they sat (and he had gathered a fair amount of coins from the crowd around him). "Greetings new friends", he said. His foot on the bench, he placed his elbow on his knee to lean in towards them. "You don't seem to belong here", he whispered. His eyes darted towards Yves for a moment. He was still smiling charmingly. His voice was anything but threatening, but Yves still took offence, talking over Leon's awkward laugh.

"I'm sorry, but what do you mean like that?", he said, "What did we even do? You're the one who's new he-"

"Your gold pendant, your highness", the young man said calmly. He remained calm in front of Yves' exaggerated tantrum, never raising his voice.

At the sight of his own pendant, peaking under his shirt, Yves was thrown into a frantic effort to hide it back again. His hands covered his face, shielding it from the man's gaze. "Thank you", he spat, almost as if he was made to do so.

"You are most welcome", the young man said.

"How do you know of our heritage?", Leon frowned, "You don't seem from around here. We might as well have been rhodolitian nobility who were able to afford a trinket like that"

"Trinket?", the word caused Yves to show his face once more. Leon smiled at him.

"I grew up serving in a palace", the man said, "You hear all sorts of things in the halls, and see all sorts of things". He backed away and brought his hand to his heart as he took a bow. "My name is Jonathan Lively", he said, "Your loyal bard".

"I loved your song Jonathan!", Emma cheered.

"Ah a compliment by the most beautiful of ladies", the bard placed a hand on his hand, "i play to live up to your kind words"

"That's a northern accent", Jin commented, "Where are you from?"

"Oh, all sorts of places honestly", Jonathan responded, " My mother is from Jade, my father considers himself to be one with the Wolf tribe of the north but I grew up in Benitoite"

"Oh so that's how you know so much about Rhodolite", Emma smiled.

"I suppose you could say flower", Jonathan sweetly smiled back. He scratched his nape with his hand. "I don't really consider myself Benitonian though. I don't agree with their work-first lifestyle", he laughed.

The waiter brought the drinks the company ordered to their table and added a beer for the musician, on the house of course.

"So who's the princess?", Licht asked after a strong sip of his drink, "Who's the story about?"

Jonathan focused his eyes on his drink. "Someone I've heard tales about my whole life", he said.

"Hey Jonathan!", one of the villagers cried, "Sing us another song will 'ya?"

Jonathan giggled over his beer. He raised his head proudly. "Well I must go", he said. He gulped down his beer and shook his head to shake off the dizziness that followed. He fixed his tattered jacket. "A bard's duty never ends", he said. He grabbed his lute and climbed upon the stage once more. "Do you want another one?", he asked to which the crow responded a strong "yes". "I have a new one I wrote myself quite recently", he said and passed the lute's belt over his shoulder.

Sweet music filled the room once again. "He's funny", said Emma.

"Not in a good way", puffed Yves.

Leon laughed. "I like him".

Jonathan reached the refrain of his song.

His eyes darted towards the small group and he smiled.

"A love that is strong, a love that is true, battles all storms and always wins too.

Someone could love with a heart made of wool

but nothing can thrive when the heart is not full.

A frozen heart and a heart of stone

will either break or they'll change their tone"

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

You felt an arm wrap around you as you were surrounded once again by warmth. Chevalier, eyes still closed, buried his head in your shoulder as he held you tight in his sleep. You took his hand in yours and brushed your thumb over his knuckles. A smile crept upon your face. The past two weeks had been a dream. The war had been officially over. Gilbert was moved to a much more secure fortress in Rhodolite until the nations affected by the war he started decided what to do with him. Peace was restored between the four nations and the princes were working towards restoring the lost resources and caring for the wounded of their country. Yet each and every one of these undeniably happy facts paled in front of waking up next to the person you loved. The person for whom you had longed for for almost half a year.

You turned around and wrapped your hands around his muscular body. You buried your face into his chest, the buttons of his half-opened blouse tickling your cheeks. The smell of soap and roses conquered your senses. Chevalier caressed your head, his fingers entangling with your beautiful locks. His breathing was calm. Relaxed. He leapt between sense and dream. His golden hair was messy. his cheeks rosey from sleep. You could not help but cup one of them. All tension evaporated from him as you did.

You gazed to your left. The handle of the small dagger peaked from underneath his pillow. His sword lay a few feet away. It was curious how Gilbert had kept everyone away with fear or false promises, while Chevalier accepted their wrath and retaliated only should they act upon it. They were both hated, but one forced love and obedience while the other withdrew and accepted the feeling as a natural response to his actions.

You clenched your fists. Why? Why were they willing to go this far? All Chevalier did was look to a brighter future. He had hardened his heart, sacrificed love for years in order to make himself able to stomach the hard decisions are left to the crown. He was, in all aspects, a leader. He cared even for those who hated him as long as they did not hinder the course of his actions. It was a hard path he had chosen, but it was a path bound by duty. One which you yourself had taken, in your own way.

Chevalier placed his hand over yours as it held his cheek. You startled. You returned your gaze to his face. His eyes were still closed. He guided your hand to his lips and kissed your palm. "You're overthinking again", he murmured.

"I'm not"

He opened his frozen blue eyes. There was no ice left in them. He cupped your cheek, tucking your hair behind your ear. "Yes, you are", he said, "I am in favour of thinking, but you focus on the wrong things". His eyes turned to the dagger. You followed them. He must had noticed the sorrow in your gaze cause he held you closer and placed a kiss on the crown of your hair. You sighed in his arms. Soon, he had gone back to sleep.

You tried to wiggle out of his arms. It was no use. You turned back to him. There was a slight smile on his lips, one you had learned to notice after spending so much time with him.

"I have work to do you know", you said.

"Ten more minutes", his arms were unwilling to let go of you.

"Chevalier", you said but somehow your lips were unable to say no. You relaxed. "Alright", you sighed.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

When Emma, Yves and Licht went outside to have their morning tea someone was already sitting in their regular settee. The princess of Istidor was dressed in a beautiful light blue off-shoulder gown with a book splayed open on her thighs and a cup of sweet tea on her lips. She greeted them with a lovely smile as they came close.

"Your Highness!", Emma cheered, "It's lovely to see you again!"

"It always is", said Yves and placed one of his signature cakes in the middle of the table. Licht sliced it and offered the first piece to her. She politely nodded and pointed towards the space in front of her. "Thank you", she said as Licht left the plate in front of her.

"So how come you're out here?", Licht asked.

"I'm-"

"There you are!", a man's voice called from behind.

The princes were startled by the sudden arrival. Licht's hand fell on his sword, ready to draw. As they turned to face their visitor however their eyes frowned in a completely different way, shifting from distrust to confusion in a matter of seconds. Jonathan was walking towards the settee, a joyous smile on his face. The former dishevelled appearance of his clothes was no more, for they were replaced by a long aubergine coat with golden embroidery on the collar. A long sword peaked from underneath, and so did a buttoned-down vest and a gold pocket watch. He passed his hand over his short brown curls.

"Long time no see", he said. He turned his gaze to Emma and the princes. "We meet again", he told them, "It seems my life is destined to be filled with beauty".

Both Emma and Yves turned red for entirely different reasons. An out of breath Sariel arrived shortly.

"Your Highness, please", he called, "Your presence here was not officialized, the guards were not informed"

"That's alright", Jonathan smiled at him, "I know how to get around unnoticed"

"Clearly", y/n said over her cup.

"I'm sorry", said Yves, "Do you know this man?"

"Your Highness", said Sariel, "Allow me". He pointed his hand towards Jonathan. "This is his Highness Prince Jonathan of Istidor", he said, "Duke of Premin and third in line to the throne"

"But that would mean he's-"

"My idiot brother", y/n smiled as she returned her cup to its saucer. She laid her elbow on the back of her seat as she crossed her legs. "What are you doing here?"

Jonathan laughed as he pulled back his long coat to sit on the nearest chair. "I'm here to see my big sister!", he said.

"Come on, spit it out", y/n's tone was scolding, yet her smile was still there.

"Fine...I need some help", Jonathan sighed, "I think I got myself into something that is more than I can handle.

Y/n let out a deep breath. "Is this about your pest problem in Premin?", she rubbed the bridge of her nose.

"I'm afraid so", he said, "I have a plan to be rid of them once and for all but I'm afraid a specific individual might interfere"

Another deep exhale. "Is this about Alex again?", said y/n.

"Fraid so", said Jonathan, "All I need is to keep him preoccupied really. But please don't kill him. I'm rather fond of him"

Y/n stood, hands flattening out the creases of her dress. "Fine", she spat, "But you owe me a big one this time"

"I am aware", Jonathan rubbed the back of his neck.

Y/n passed him by. She spoke to Sariel as Jonathan poured himself a cup of tea. She stopped midway to the road inside. "You're not coming?", she cried back to him.

"Oh I am!", Jonathan raised his cup, "Just thought I'd try the tea here, you know how much I love tea!"

Y/n shook her head at her brother's eccentric habits. Another figure soon joined her side; Chevalier. He smiled at her, and so did she. All four of the people who knew him were left astounded by the sight. Y/n gave him a kiss and proceeded to speak to him, her hands holding his. He listened attentively before he gave her a kiss on the cheek and one on the forehead and bid her farewell. He came to join the group on the couch as his love disappeared back inside the castle, followed by his minister. He passed by Jonathan. There was a difference in the man's smile this time. Without having the means to compare, Chevalier sat himself opposite to him and waited.

"So. You are the one they call the brutal beast", said Jonathan, "You don't seem that scary to me"

"Give it time", Chevalier blew on his own cup of tea.

"Hm", the other prince extended his threatening smile, "You're funny are you?"

Chevalier did not respond. The other prince frowned for the first time since he had stepped in Rhodolite. He let his cup down and leaned towards Chevalier.

"I've heard the rumours about you", he said, "And I don't like them"

Chevalier remained silent. Jonathan scoffed.

"Let me make one thing clear: My sister has been through hell. She has taken care of me and my brother her whole life and has only ever been rewarded with war and mistreatment. I'm impressed and thankful that you managed to effectively diminish the obsidianite threat. But my sister is free now. She can be happy. So don't you dare hurt her. Or I will kill you myself. I am against violence, but this I will do. I don't care who you are. Even if you're the king here, Istidor is an empire almost as powerful as Obsidian itself, but with much greater connections. If you hurt her, I will kill you, and it won't matter whether I do it in secret or not"

"Perhaps you can", said Chevalier, "If I do ever hurt her perhaps I'll let you". Chevalier's eyes fixed on the other prince's, his brilliant blue meeting the emerald green. "But I'd say it's quite hypocritical when the one she's suffered the most from was the man you had let her get engaged to"

Jonathan caught his breath. "I never liked Gilbert", he stood, "But if I knew one thing about him was that he loved her. I knew that when it came to a choice between her and his kingdom he would choose her every time. But you? You would never make such a choice."

"Even if I did", Chevalier responded calmly, "Do you really think she would let me?"

Jonathan clenched his fists for a while before letting his hands relax at his sides. He chuckled to himself. "Maybe you're right", he snuffed his smile away once more, "Maybe you do love her enough. If you prove this to me, that she is happy here with you then I will back you up to the end"

"What are you talking about?", asked Licht.

"Y/n is far from ordinary", Jonathan refused to look away from the rhodolitian king, "One could say she is another brilliant mind in this continent, one that was left unrecognised by no other reason than her gender". Jonathan turned to the group. "Why else do you think two monsters like them would fight over her?", he said, "There is a reason she was engaged to Gilbert and it's not merely what you think. They could had given me away to another kingdom and conquered Obsidian altogether. But they didn't. She is second in line. The heir. I'm just the spare". Jonathan turned back to Chevalier. "What do you think you can offer Istidor?", he told him, "A kingdom the size of our capital or a few more pennies to add to the vastness of our gold mines?". The prince moved closer to the Brutal Beast, something few people dared to do and even fewer were left alive afterwards. "You may be a cold-hearted beast but she is not. Our family is not. My father is closer to the throne than ever. Obsidian is no longer a threat. He will put family above everyone and everything else. Whether that includes you it's up to be seen".

And with that, Jonathan walked away, hands behind his back. A regal air surrounded him, one made of shadows unseen before, hidden by the brightness of his smile. But with his smile gone, another self was revealed. A calculative and calm mind, a loyal son and a a dutiful brother.

He was a shadow himself. He had called himself "the spare", but he showed no wish to become "the heir". The shadows were his element, and he reigned most brilliantly in them.

He had promised to kill Chevalier. And there was no doubt in anyone's mind, though many had tried before, this man could do it.

[annaliessse]

Can I request a fanfiction of princess (Chevalier younger sister) and gilbert getting togethe with some angst first (because they deny their feelings and do not admit it to themselves)

Thankyou so much

Got you fam! So sorry this took so long. For some reason, Tumblr did not notify me and I read this a day late! Also, Gilbert is soooo hard to write that it took me four rewrites before I was finally satisfied. I know nothing about him, except that he owns the world's deadliest thighs (as said by Emma herself), so this is just pure speculation. Anyway, enjoy!

Also, my small contribution to the celebration of Gilbert's route release in the Jap server.

I'll Burn For You

Pairing: Gilbert von Obsidian x Reader (as Chevalier's younger sister)

Prompt: You knew it was a mistake to love him. He was the enemy, a cruel prince dead set on taking over your beloved kingdom. He had cruelty in his gaze, masked by the sweetness of his words. It was playing with fire, but when you meet him in the cover of the night, you wonder whether you should continue resisting the attraction, or sacrifice it all and burn for the man who’ll take everything that you love.

No. of Words: 2,100+

Everyone warned you about him. Your brothers kept you from seeing him. Sariel did everything to hide you from him. He was the enemy. The villain. The one set to destroy your kingdom and every single person you loved.

You hate him. You should. And yet…

You can’t help but fall for him. For his blood-red eye. For his presence that radiates danger. For his words you know are tailored to manipulate you.

You knew he could never love you. Why would he? You are a princess of the kingdom he wants to conquer. The younger sister of the man he hated so much. The girl representing everything he’s bound to destroy.

“Harden your heart. Do not fall for the lies that spill out of his lips.”

Chevalier has warned you. He told you to be careful, to steel yourself for the beauty of the words he will say to you. He would speak to you in a way that would make your heart flutter, your defense weaken, and your vulnerability show. He would whisper kind words. Words filled with poison and dishonesty.

And yet, you can’t stay away from him.

Even now, in the darkness of the library, you meet him. The night was quiet, everyone deep in their slumber. The light of a single candle fills the room, and you hear him approach, the sound of his metal cane echoing around you.

“Well, what do we have here?” You hear him say. “I did not think you’d actually agree to this proposal, my little tigress.”

You turn to look at him.

Gilbert von Obsidian. The prince you should hate and despise. Instead, he holds your heart, your every being longing for even a sliver of his affection.

“Why are you doing this?” You ask him. “What do you get out of this, Gilbert?”

The sight of him is enough to set your heart ablaze. You have fallen for him, there is no denial. No escape. All you can do is suffer the consequences of your forbidden emotions.

“I like you. Does there have to be another reason?” He moves closer, his hand tracing your jaw. “Would it be so wrong to show affection to the one whom I hold dear?”

“I’m no fool.” You snarl at him. “We both know you do this to spite Chev. I know. You know. Everyone knows. What I don’t understand is why you keep doing this when you know whatever you’re doing is not going to work.”

“I’m not doing anything but express my feelings for the one I like,” Gilbert says softly, his gloved hand reaching up to cup your cheek. “I like you, my little tigress. I like your tenacity, your strength. Your naivety and wisdom. Your courage and vulnerability.”

He whispers soft words, honeyed sentences that detail everything he admires about you. Gilbert pulls you by the waist, your body flush against his and despite everything in you screaming to get away from him, your heart speaks louder, and you stay still, enveloped in the warmth of his embrace.

“Please, Gilbert.” You beg. “Stop this.”

You attempt to push him away but he holds you close, red-eye gleaming with satisfaction.

“Why would I? I finally have you where I want you to be.”

His smile was filled with sadism. With twisted pleasure. He likes this. To have control over the one person Chev has for a weakness. You feel his hot breath against your neck and you shudder despite everything, your body pleased with his attention.

“There is no greater joy,” he whispers. “Than to have the sister of the one you hate most in your arms in the middle of the night. He has no idea, doesn’t he, princess? I’d like to be in the room when this secret finally reaches his ears.”

You feel your heart drop, breaking to a thousand shattered pieces. You knew this. Of course you did. He is the prince of Obsidian. A cruel prince intent on invading your kingdom. To him, this is all a game.

You are nothing. You mean nothing to him. Nothing but a pawn in the wicked game he plays.

Tears spill from your eyes. You knew to yourself it would always end like this.

You just did not want to hear the confirmation spill out of his lips.

Gilbert feels your warm tears brush against his skin. You were crying quietly, even as your body does not protest against his ministrations. He should have been happy. Elated. He had finally broken you down. Finally seduced the person valued most by his enemy.

He did not expect the uneasy feeling at the pit of his stomach at the sight of your sadness.

“Don’t cry, my little tigress,” he mocks, desperately clinging to his uncaring façade. “This is what you want after all, isn’t it?”

Gilbert tries to continue his movements, hands gently caressing your waist. Your tears do not stop though and in the end, he pulls away and walks towards the library door, cane clanging against the floor. He does not look back. Not even at the sound of your sobs.

You avoid Gilbert after that. You cannot face him. Not after exposing your vulnerability. You find yourself often in Chevalier’s faction office, always having one of your brothers around you to avoid facing Gilbert alone.

This time though, when you enter, your older brother wasn’t there, only Nokto.

“Where’s Chev?” You ask.

“Where else?” Nokto says, not even looking up from the document he was reading. “At the border. Some people from Obsidian were attacking the nearby villages.”

You raise an eyebrow. He dares to do that even when Gilbert’s here?

You hesitate before asking. “And what does Gilbert think about it?”

“Surprisingly well. He went with King Highness.”

Strange. From what you’ve seen and heard, Gilbert wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice his people for his own benefit. He doesn’t even head to the battlefield on his own, sending his ministers instead. For him to go with Chevalier means he has another purpose. One you clearly know nothing about.

Not that it is easy to know anything about Obsidian’s first prince.

“Probably for the best that he went there too,” Nokto comments. “We’re no stranger to King Highness’ purges, but the stench of blood is just highly unpleasant. I’d like to have this room not smell like rust for once.”

You roll your eyes. Everyone knows Chevalier’s daily killing sprees.

Not many know his real intentions.

“Could you stop and listen to me for once?” You glared at him one afternoon when he returned with blood soaking his clothes once again. “Why can you not stop killing people, Chev? You are a prince and you are supposed to be protecting our citizens! Instead you raise your sword at them.”

“I am protecting them. I will not apologize for killing a few to save the lives of many.”

You thought him brutal that time and you once again wonder how you two could have been born from the same mother. Then you see him honor Rhodolite’s fallen soldiers. He took the time to learn their names, to remember for whom he has been fighting for.

Not many understand, but despite Chev’s violent ways, he only wants what’s best for the kingdom. Just like the rest of your brothers. After all, that is what being a prince should be like, right?

Maybe… no.

Gilbert’s not like that. He gets no benefit for his kingdom for playing with you. If he wants what’s best for his people, he would have leveraged someone with more power, like Emma or Sariel. Chevalier isn’t king, and it’s highly likely that Leon would be chosen instead.

He’s just leading you on for his own sick pleasure at the knowledge of having seduced Chev’s sister.

When you ask Emma later on whom she’s selecting as Rhodolite’s next king, she was vague. But that thoughtful look on her face tells you everything you needed to know.

Chev returns that afternoon, clothes clean, not even a spot of blood to be found on his white cape. You inspect him, in utter disbelief that he has resolved an altercation without violence. When you raise his coat, he slaps your hand away, frowning.

“What are you doing?”

“Looking for blood. You can’t have dealt with those people without killing them, right?”

He sighs. “There’s none. We managed to reach an agreement.”

“By we, you mean Gilbert?”

“Who else? Did you think I’d have the time to listen to the meaningless reasons of Obsidianite thieves?”

You cross your arms. “Oh really? What did he tell you that made you change your mind?”

“Poverty. Those people only crossed the border to steal some food for their families. Eyepatch told me he’d resolve it as soon as he can.”

You pause. This time, you were the one frowning.

Chev sighs. “Just because you don’t understand doesn’t mean they’re wrong. You should have known that by now. You’re surrounded by eight beasts, all with tainted reputations, and you know as well as we do that everything we do is for Rhodolite.”

He leaves you alone in the quietness of the hallway. You lean on the nearest pillar, thinking.

Just because you don’t understand doesn’t mean they’re wrong.

Hit with the realization, you hurry back to your room, picking up a pen as you begin drafting a letter. Chev knows. He always does.

And he is doing nothing to stop you from doing it.

You understand now.

That night, you once again wait patiently in the darkness of the library. You smile at the feeling of déjà vu but instead of the hopeless ignorance you’ve felt before, this time, you face him with confidence, now aware of your next move.

“I didn’t think this day would come, my little tigress.” You hear Gilbert’s voice from the darkness. “Have I finally broken you down? For you to approach me so brazenly like this?”

You stand up to meet him and in an instant, Gilbert has his arms around you, his breath warm against your neck.

“And so pliant too,” he comments. “Is your brother going to be angry at this, princess? That despite the glaring warnings in your head you decide to surrender yourself to me? That you allowed me to use you?”

“Go on then,” you whisper. “Use me, Gilbert.”

You feel his breathe hitch and he begins to pull away. You clutch Gilbert’s shirt, pulling him closer again.

“Use me. Use me like the pawn that I am. This is what I am, right? A toy for you to get what you want? Go ahead. Use me, Gilbert.”

I know what you want.

You do not want to simply anger Chev. You want to use me as a leverage for you to get a negotiation that would benefit your people. You have seen Emma and judged she would choose my brother as the next king. You can never curry his favor, so you force his hand.

“What is this?” he asks, confused.

“Is this not what you want, Gil? To have Chev’s sister in the palm of your hands, like a puppet you can control? Why are you hesitating when I am offering myself up to you freely?”

Gilbert pauses. He looks at you for a few seconds, surprise clear in his gaze. Then realization. He blinks. When he opens them again, you find nothing but the confidence and satisfaction he hides himself in.

Hide yourself, then. Just know I can read you like a book, Gilbert.

He laughs. “How naïve. You think I’m doing this for my people? You think I haven’t sacrificed many of my own to preserve my life? How very ignorant.”

You smirk, wrapping your arms around his neck. “I am ignorant, Gil.” You allow him to delude himself. To think that he’s kept his mask unbreakable, when you both know he has exposed all of himself to you.

“And I am offering myself up to you. I don’t care anymore, Gilbert. I want you.”

His blood-red eye looks at you and for the first time you see a hint of happiness, of relief that finally someone has come close enough to unveil the intentions he held close to his heart.

“My little tigress,” he whispers before you feel his soft lips against yours.

You hold Gilbert’s soft locks under your hands, relishing in the wanton passion of the kiss. You’re playing with fire. Dallying with the enemy. You don’t find it in yourself to care though.

When everything is as blissful as this, you don’t mind getting too close to the flame. You do not care that this relationship of yours would be hidden. You do not care that, despite Chev’s implicit approval, you will face backlash from the rest of Rhodolite nobility. You will be marked as a traitor.

You kiss Gilbert back, your moans swallowed by his fervent kisses. You smile, allowing yourself to burn.  

(Thank you for this first request! It was def challenging, but it's my fave work so far. Anyway, I won't create an OC for readers' requests, except when you explicitly state that you want a fic for this particular pairing. I won't create an OC since I have an idea of what I want for the love interests of each prince. Hope you loved this as much as I did.)
