{ Remarry with me }

Genre: Royal AU oneshot

Pairing: Malleus Draconia x Victoria Shard(Royal AU)

Ocs featured: Victoria Shard, Ellis Clawthorne(brief appearance)

❀•°•═════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════•°•❀

Author's note: This was heavily inspired by the remarried empress with the implications of how Victoria was treated by her husband, the inclusion and mention of a concubine who's currently pregnant, etc.

This is my interpretation of how Heinrey asked Navier to remarry with him, but with Malleutoria :3

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, especially in the reblogs ^^ they really help out writers like me on Tumblr

Hope you enjoy this!

Note: Please reblog. It really does help out writers and artists, and other content creators on Tumblr. No pressure, of course, but I'd really appreciate it if you reblogged this post, especially with your thoughts on it ^^

Warning(s): Implications of a toxic relationship between Victoria and her husband, the husband and concubine are left unnamed

"I can't believe you'd do something so foolish…"

Victoria scowled, narrowing her eyes at the prince in front of her, with a large wound on his left forearm.

Malleus only bit his tongue, seething in pain."Would you- Stop doing that?" He demanded.

She rolled her eyes, holding the gold needle close to his face."Be lucky that it isn't made of silver, you stubborn prince. Besides, you shouldn't have dueled with my husband to begin with…"

"I did it to restore your honor."

"What honor did you have to restore? There was no need to do that for another man's wife."

He inhaled sharply but stared right at her.

"You were unhappy with how he flaunted his mistress. I was simply trying to help."

Victoria clicked her tongue."As the empress of the northern empire, you have no right to do such a thing as a foreign prince." She replied, close to finishing up the stitching of his wounds.

Malleus deadpanned at her and squinted his eyes."I have a right to restore a woman's honor if their husband impregnated another woman out of wedlock." He spat back.

After what seemed like an eternity, Victoria finished stitching his wound and glared at Malleus. And yet behind that glare was a woman in great pain from what her husband was putting her through.

"That woman is an official concubine. Her child may be illegitimate, but it will be the emperor's firstborn."

"Huh. You'd think that with someone like you around, the emperor would've had more than a dozen children." Malleus commented, putting his hand on her chin, which she quickly slapped away.

"Stop that. As the empress, I have no right to comment on what the emperor does with his mistress…" she trailed away, looking off to the side to frown, hoping that the fae prince wouldn't notice.

But he did. Much to her chagrin.

"My queen…."

"Don't. Just…. Don't call me that…"

She put the golden needle back into her sewing kit and crossed her arms. Refusing to meet his gaze.

Malleus's expression had softened. And his hand reached out as if to try and comfort her. To have her see him as someone she can use as a support system.

But he pulled his hand back, knowing that that was not what she wanted at the moment.

Several minutes had passed in that moment of silence, and Malleus couldn't help but be the one to break it.

"I…. I heard from lord Zenith."

Victoria winced, hoping that he isn't talking about what she thought he was talking about.

".... Heard what?"

"That his imperial majesty intends to divorce you."

She stood up, looking down at Malleus with one of the coldest stares she could muster up at that moment. The fire that came from the fireplace helped illuminate her aura, making her appear ethereal. Almost on the level of a deity.

".... My queen-"

"How dare you." She started, fists clenching in pent-up rage.

".... What?" His eyes went wide as he fell silent, allowing her to speak.

"How dare you make such…. Such an assumption. The emperor would- He would never dare divorce me! He…. He…"

She backed away, eyes stinging, likely on the brink of breaking down."He…. He wouldn't…" she muttered.

The way she said those words brought heartache to Malleus. And he quickly sprinted towards her when she fell to her knees with tears dripping down her face.

"He wouldn't… We…. We knew each other for so long…"

For a moment, Malleus hesitated to get closer to her. To touch her in her delicate silky nightgown with her hair in such an undone state.

But it didn't matter. Although he felt awkward, Malleus pulled the empress into a hug. Not too loose, but not too tight.

"It's… It's alright, my queen…"

Her head was resting on his shoulder, and he felt it quickly go damp. A sign that her tears were silent but prevalent.

"He's…. He's really going to divorce me for one woman… A woman he's known for a couple of months…"

Malleus clenched his jaw, feeling an even greater rage at the emperor for hurting a woman who didn't deserve it. His wife, nonetheless.

Which begged the question. Why did he hate this woman, when she didn't do anything to deserve such hatred?

Was it because she was the empress of a rival empire? Because her family was an enemy of his own?

Malleus didn't know. And he didn't want to know. At least not at that moment.

What was important to him was that the empress of the northern empire at least had a shoulder to cry on. To hell with the potentiality that someone could walk in on them in their warm embrace.

She pulled away, wiping away the snot from her nose and looking at the ground."His majesty… I overheard him telling that woman that he will divorce me… And make her his empress."

The shakiness and the sheer pain in just uttering such a simple sentence pained Malleus to no end. He cupped her face, and even he couldn't believe what he was going to say next.

"Then remarry with me."

Victoria's eyes went wide, and her mouth fell open for a while. Before she shook her head and pushed Malleus away from her in disbelief.

"Remarry? You know I can't do that. Much less to you."

"And why not? If the emperor of the northern empire can remarry with his concubine, surely the former empress can do the same."

"That's…. True, but I'll be looked down upon by my subjects. And they'll see me as a power-hungry woman who remarried a foreign prince because I couldn't handle being a divorced empress."

"Their opinions do not matter, my queen-"

"BUT THEY DO! THE PERCEPTION THE PEOPLE OF THE NORTHERN EMPIRE HAVE OF ME, REFLECTS ON HIS MAJESTY! THAT… THAT IS WHY I MUST STRIVE TO BE THE PERFECT EMPRESS."

Victoria stood up. But Malleus did just as quickly.

She breathed heavily, taking heavy breaths. In and out.

"My queen…."

"Why…"

Malleus pulled his hand back again, feeling conflicted and confused."What do you mean, my queen?" He asked, deep with concern.

Victoria looked to the side for a minute, before turning her attention back on Malleus.

"Why do you want me to marry you? You have nothing to gain by marrying a former empress."

Malleus crossed his arms, feeling awkward. But he answered her question either way. Not like he had a choice.

"You're… You're brilliant. You seemingly know everything when it comes to politics and you've brought down wars by negotiation alone. You're a brilliant empress, and would be given a warm welcome in the Briar valley."

She knew that wasn't the complete answer. It had to be.

"Tell me the truth."

"I am."

Victoria felt her nails sink into her skin while clenching her fists in frustration. It was a painful, yet masochistically euphoric kind of feeling.

"Just tell me. Before I use my ability on you."

"You wouldn't."

"I would."

Malleus scoffed, inching closer toward her. As if to try and challenge her to do it.

And she did.

She grabbed Malleus by his face and stared into his emerald eyes. Beautiful. Dangerous. Indescribable.

"Bless you, for speaking such truth. For your lies need to be revealed. Mirror mirror… Dispel their deceit."

After chanting the incantation, she took a deep breath before asking the question."Why do you wish for me to marry you?" She questioned, still staring deep into his eyes.

Almost instinctively, despite being deep in the effects of the incantation, Malleus pulled her closer to him before replying.

"Because I'm enchanted by you, my queen. And I'd like nothing more… Then to become your husband."

The effects of the incantation fell apart, and Malleus was back to his senses. Now finding himself holding Victoria, the empress of the northern empire, by her hips. And she was holding him by his face.

Her eyes were glass at that moment. She appeared shocked. Ghost-like.

But that didn't stop Malleus from finding her beautiful. More beautiful than any woman he's seen.

"You… Love me?"

A smile graced his face, holding one of her hands that was still cupping his face. Her eyes slowly returned from a haunting glass-like state, and back to the sapphire ones he had come to adore.

"I do… And it doesn't matter if our marriage was one of convenience."

He went on one knee and kissed her hand.

"... Because I'll find my way into your heart. One way or another. And I'll make sure you will be loved. More than what your husband could ever give you."

Victoria pursed her lips, tugging them and having them form a straight line. She didn't know what to say.

But she managed to utter the words, "Do you truly want me as your queen?" As she stared at him.

And when Malleus nodded slowly, Victoria had him stand up.

And she leaned her forehead against his own.

"Then I will become your queen."

It was out of convenience, yes. That was true.

But that didn't matter to Malleus. Nor did it matter to Victoria.

Because she knew he'd love her more than her husband could. To hell with that wretched man.

She'll be able to find her happiness now. Without anyone trying to take it from her.

❀•°•═════ஓ๑♡๑ஓ═════•°•❀

"Oh!"

The two immediately pulled away when they caught sight of Ellis opening the door.

"Ah- Lady Ellis…" Victoria gave her an awkward nod of acknowledgment before looking away in embarrassment.

Malleus coughed awkwardly and quickly approached her.

"Why…. Are you awake at this hour?"

Ellis gave him a smirk."I could ask you the same thing, y'know." She joked, crossing her arms playfully.

He chuckled, gently patting her head. Before Ellis batted her eyelashes.

"Looks like you'll be a married man. Lucky you~" she teased, noticing his cheeks and the tips of his ears go warm.

"Stop that…"

"Not gonna. Not unless you invite me as the maid of honor!"

"Ellis-"

"Oh god…"

"You're not gonna hear the end of it, Malleus. Hehehe…"

I’m bored so DORM SET UP HEADCANONS!

———-

Heartstabyl:

-With the stairs constantly moving, most second and third years have somewhat memorized the patterns, yet never tell the first years.

It’s like a right of passage to figure it out for yourself.

-Similarly to how each of the other dorms has their special little extra area (Ex: Pomfieores Hidden Lab, Savannaclaws Colosseum etc) Heartstabyl has a literal courtroom that goes often unused, but sometimes if Drama or Arguments gets too much, they will have a court session to debate it, or just joke debates.

-Due to it nearly breaching capacity, the third years do not have their own dorms, but share with one other student, of their choice if mutual or random otherwise. Trey and Cater share a room, which has been jokily dubbed the Leprechaun room. (Clover suit with green hair and goldenish eyes + Ginger with soul sucking bright green eyes)

-There is a confiscation room that only Trey and Riddle are SUPPOSED to have access to. Unfortunately for them, Che’nya does exist and can be bribed into robbery with (good) cheese, (good) cheesecake, or cool trinkets as long as the confiscated item isn’t overly dangerous or too illegal.

-Ace and Deuce’s room is known for being the loudest and has received an unorthodox amount of noise complaints.

-Some students make the hedgehogs outfits and little hats.

____________

Savannaclaw:

——

-As it’s literally made of ROCK, there are many incidents and injuries from running into walls or tripping.

-If food goes missing, their is actually war fare and it is taken personally, but Ruggie has managed to escape suspicion for his entire stay so far.

-Not a goddamn vegetable in sight, Jack has a stash of them and is so far one of three students to do so.

-Dumbest dorm in the club with the highest drop out (usually for pursing a sports scholarship at another school) , expulsion and injury rates.

-Due to fights, sports and literal brain damage from being hit in the head with a discus one too many times, the dorm members are often at the nurses office.

-Sometimes gets ABO jokes from (mostly) Ignihyde students, and has literally no clue what they’re talking about unless directly explained. Jack didn’t say anything to the majority of the school for about a week after Ortho explained it to him.

-From what we see in Leonas Room atleast, all the windows are glassless, so some students will straight up jump out the windows or fall through them on the regular.

-There actually IS a vice housewarden, atleast on paper, since it was required, but nobody knows who it is, not even the vice themselves.

Leona picked a student from his dorms name at random, and Crowley never checked in with the student, and has been under the assumption they’re constantly busy or just neglectful thanks to Leona gaslighting.

The only thing he has told Savannaclaw is that he can confirm it’s not Ruggie, since he didn’t know he existed at the time.

-Rook has crawled through Leonas window ATLEAST ONCE to bother him, and after that he put up drapes so he had a better chance of hearing him coming.

___________

Octavinelle:

_____

-ALL the drama and ALL the blackmail. Literally a dorm of Regina George level dramatics. Pomefiore has nothing on them.

-Gaslighting and Manipulation extraordinares

-As Ursula herself is based on a Drag Queen (Divine), I imagine they have Drag Nights at the lounge, and they’re extremely popular.

-Alot of the non-mer students make jokes about drowning if the barrier ever gets removing, and as most of the mers likely blush blue instead of pink/red, usually many first year humans think their literally choking/ can’t breath for a hot sec.

Also alot of strange incidents and firsts for them, like finding out your roommate is bioluminescent.

-24/7 Elevator music in the lounge, so it drives them absolutely INSANE if played around the dorms too.

-The music was never actually turned off during Azuls OB, as Jade, Floyd or Azul himself probably had the key to the audio room, or was already locked into the bluetooth, so everyone was losing their shit whilst spa music was playing in the background. Sort of like that one Markaplier quote:

“If purple guy is the creator, then what does it all mean- CAN WE CUT THE CASUAL BONGOS?!!”

-I KNOW we see the beds aren’t this way from the Octatrios beds but I hate the basic ass design of Octavinelles actual inner dorm, so y’know what? Clamshell and/or Oyster beds that can open and close like the ones Ariel and her sisters have in the movies.

I’m also changing the color scheme because where the fuck dId they get MAJORITY WHITE AHD LIGHT FUCKING LAVENDER FROM?? URSULAS COLORS ARE BLACK, SILVER/PEARL AND PLUM??

So yea fuck you, Plum, Pearl/Silver, Black, Blue and dark teal color schemes with alot of corals, underwater cove and ocean themed furniture.

-If the dorm were to ever run out of transformation potions, things would get wild real quick.

-They have a pool that is basically just an aquarium you can swim in. Floyd was banned for a month once for trying to drown someone. (Jade was infact not only an accomplice, but the one who gave Floyd the idea in the first place, and immediately threw Floyd under the bus when Azul caught them)

-Azul has a secret private pool hidden behind a door wall thing.

-Jade has a Room of Shrooms that is locked off to the general students.

-Many of the students learn serving tricks to get extra tips.

-Will spitefully bring someone who came laters order first if you’re being a pain. Repeatedly if you really earned it.

-A student once brought heelies, and Floyd immediately jumped on the idea. So yes, some students will heelie over to your table for the sake of “convenience”

______

Scarabia:

—-

-Introverts: Welcome to hell.

-As another dorm with open windows, there are some falling issues.

-Jamil does that mom thing where internally he’s like “Nobody helps me in this fucking house” or will passively aggressively say something like “Well if you want to do this more often, maybe you could start helping out.” but when the dorm students actually offer to help 9 times out of 10 he’s like “absolutely not you’ll mess it up.”

-Schemers canonically but both negatively and positively. Like would say the most sweet and positive plans like their planning a mutiny.

-Like that one “If Antinious was actually a sweet guy” remix of Hold Him Down from Epic :

“Haven’t you noticed who’s missing? Don’t you know the prince is not around?

I heard today is Telemachus birthday, and I heard today he comes back to town so-

I say we gather near the beaches, I say we wait til he arrives~

I’ll slip away while you all distract him so I can go PREPARE THE SURPRISES.

Hold him down…While I’m in the kitchen~

Hold Him down…While I start to bake~

Hold him down while we slowly bring his buddies his family and Favorite Cakeeee~

Cut it down….into tiny pieces

For the prince…Serve it Alamode…

When the prince wonders what his gift is…ONLY HIS MOTHER AND I WILL KNOWWWWW”

Yea thats Scarabia student planning core.

-Steal one thing from this dorm and you can probably feed a family of four for a month.

-You can get a medical pass to be exempt from being in the dorm during the day if you’re sensitive to heat.

-Not all the students actually like the parties, but participate in them for the free food regardless.

-Its concerningly easy to lockpick most of the treasuries, but nobody has done it sheerly because they would feel bad if Kalim still forgave them.

-Its common for first years unused to the heat to straight up pass out before even making it to the dorm since from the map, its a concerningly long walk, so they had to install a mini secondary teleporter sheerly to avoid constant heat stroke.

_______

Pomfieore

——

-Smells like a Sephora and Bath and Body Works with a side of Chanel Perfume

-Many of them are very invested in celebrity drama.

-There is what has been nicknamed “The Garden of Death”, which is a small garden in the back of Pomfieore containing many poisonous plants used to create, and this may come as a surprise, poisons.

-Second highest drop out rate, mostly due to struggles with pursuing a budding career in the entertainment and/or artisic industry and balancing school aswell.

Vil usually does try to dissuade them, but unfortunately it is a good point that he was, even if he did his career work on his own, still had the Schronheit name behind him, creating a high bias with many directors and companies, so he already had higher chances then the average budding actor since the start, and I can imagine alot of the students pointing that out if they didn’t have the same.

-Some students, when they think Vil is not looking, will sit on the throne as a joke.

-The amount of makeup and mirrors in this dorm is crazy.

-Epel has, on more than one occasion, jumped out of windows to escape Vil/Rook, so 80% of the common area windows are locked.

-The walls and carpets in the main areas actually have very thin sheets on them to prevent makeup stains.

-As one of the chonkiest dorms, both in length and width, walking around can be hell if you’re in a rush. So many stairs, so little time.

-The Secret Lab has a Emperor’s New Groove like lever system that only the dorm students know which is which, but sometimes mistakes are made.

_____________

Ignihyde:

——

-When I say you can HEAR the electricity moving through the wires EVERYWHERE.

-Actually blinding to walk into at night due to the amount of screens.

-The kitchen is actually souped up and super clean because it’s nearly never used.

-They have Streaming Parties whenever a new season of a well liked anime or show among the students comes out, and on very rare occasions, Vocaloid Raves when a new album comes out.

These are the ONLY parties Idia attends and actually assists in the setup of, so you know it’s absolutely wild. Its a unanimous agreement that nobody is allowed to tell any other dorms about it (Ramshackle excluded)

-Ortho is the world’s nicest hall monitor at night when he’s bored and Idias actually asleep for once, but it can give students whatever the equivalent of FNAF is flashbacks.

-It’s a dorm joke to say “I’m tired, i’m heading home to Hell” or “I’ve got to catch the Ferry to the Underworld, see ya later”

-The projects the students are cooking up in this dorm makes Elon Musk look like a toy maker.

-These motherfuckers are also nocturnal sometimes. The main room is more active at night then during the day.

-They have a constant cat visitor that they’ve yet to realize or find out is Che’nya in a cat form. Trey once noticed Idia walking to a vending machine with a purple and pink cat on his shoulder and simply aggressively sighed.

-The Cat is lowkey pampered, and it actually started when Che’nya was making a getaway and accidentally ran into Ignihyde in his secondary form.

-Least Magic using dorm. Literally that one meme where it’s a few characters using normal weapons and then it’s a character from the same series with a gun. Ignihyde is that character.

The Genya of the NRC dorms.

________

Diasomnia:

——

-Will practically go into nuclear reactor evacuation if Lilia manages to get into the kitchen.

-They have an entire armory of everything but firearms. However there is a bazooka that Lilia donated for comedical reasons.

-Nearly everyone in the dorm despises Sebek for a multitude of reasons. It’s unfortunate but by god is it true. He is mostly unaware of this and the fact they were near ready to throw a party when he started hanging around Ramshackle more.

However, The only thing keeping Sebek from being literally mass jumped is the fact they don’t want to risk pissing off Lilia or Malleus and thats about it.

-Very Pointy furniture. Everything is VERY POINTY. Poke at your own risk.

-When leaving their room at night, their constantly on guard because of Lilias jumpscaring streak.

-The bridge is the worst thing ever if you have a fear of heights as it’s extremely cracky and thin.

-Some students genuinely think Silver is dead when they find him in random spots asleep.

-Lilia can turn into a bat and you cannot convince me otherwise, therefore alot of the students will eye bats on the ceiling with suspicion trying to see if A: Lilias among them. Or B: If they’ll snitch to Lilia if they’re doing something they shouldn’t.

-Sometimes they’ll polish the gargoyles and grotesques for Malleus.

_____

Ramshackle:

_______

-Yuu/MC has a string of Polaroid photos taken with the Ghost Camera in their room.

-Creakiest couch known to man, and everything within the dorm has some scorch or scratch marks from Grim Zoomies.

-The ghosts become cool Great Uncles, and Knit like crazy during october, since they can’t really touch things afterwards, so MC ends up with a pile of blankets, sweaters, scarves, hats and more.

-They also tell MC the tea with the other school ghosts.

-Skully actually haunts Ramshackle, but the secret area below it, which used to be the main dorm, but nobody dares go into the basement, so nobody really knows about it anymore. If MC were to find it, he would be BEYOND thrilled.

-Everytime a new idiot is initiated into the first year squad, they usually end up with their own “room”, since Ramshackle has way too many empty ones anyway.

-Originally Ace and Deuce just shared one since most of the rooms were broken down and they weren’t taking chances, plus there was only one next to MC and it would feel weird if they were an entire dorm apart.

-This came in useful during Book 5 because alot of their stuff was already kinda just…there anyway.

-Jack just uses his room for Cacti. Thats really it, since the last time he tried to store weights in there, it didn’t end well.

-Epels is excess Apple Storage and a Vil-Free Safe zone, which is often raided by the rest but mostly Grim since Apples.

-Orthos is just a charging port and some movies and games. It does look very strange compared to the rest with all the near SCI-FI theme going on.

-Sebeks is just more of a reading and training room now then anything else, and there are swords in there that Yuu/MC is permitted to use for self defense.

But it used to be, for awhile, jokily named the Room of Shame, because Ace consistently managed to trick him into going in and would lock the door when he made one too many human discriminative comments and wasn’t allowed out until he apologized.

-Ramshackles outer doors and windows actually use a super old enchanted lock with only 5 keys in existence (Yuu’s and the 4 extra you can give in the guest room) , so its unable to lockpick, to Rooks dismay, he’s banished to only looking through the windows

-Unfortunately, Ace did get his grubby little hands on one of the key’s at some point, so he is a constant B&Er of Ramshackle (truly best friend core) and often drags Deuce with him.

-Ramshackle has a themed mess of items, as many are gifts from the other dorms, a Kettle from Ramshackle, Rug from Savannaclaw, “Accidentally over ordered extras” of chairs and a table from Octavinelle, Silks and Culinary equipment from Scarabia, etc etc.

-Sebek did fall through the floor once because he was stomping around like he was kinda used to in Diasomnia, and overestimated the durability of Ramshackles Floors.

-This happened multiple times to Floyd aswell during their occupation of Ramshackle in Book 3.

-A ton of random trinkets from Malleus exist within the dorm, some found, some not.

-Lilia will sometimes follow Malleus and MC on their midnight walks as a bat, and Grim once tried to fight him, telling MC a random bat he saw on the porch was being fishy.

_______

I’m tired so thats about it.

Enjoy
