Girly, give me anything with Yandere Husband Manuel I, please 🙂‍↕️
Tumblr media
Hello dear. Thank you for your request. I am very eager to write for this man. I hope you like it.
Yandere husband Manuel I of Portugal headcanon.
~ You were the first child and first daughter of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella II of Castile. You were raised and educated as befits a Princess. When you reached the marriageable age, you married Prince Afonso of Portugal. You traveled to Portugal to start your new life. When you arrived in Portugal, the first person to greet you at the port was your husband's cousin Manuel, Duke of Viseu. Although your marriage was a political match, a warm relationship developed between the two of you. However, your marriage ended when your husband Prince Afonso lost his life after falling off a horse.
~ You returned to Spain upon your family's request. You were heartbroken and in mourning. You gave your family an ultimatum that you would never marry again. Your family tolerated your request at first. Six years later, Manuel ascended to the throne of Portugal. And the first thing he did when he ascended the throne was to ask your parents to let him marry you. At first, you tried to explain softly that you didn't want to get married. Your parents offered him to marry your younger sister Maria. However, Manuel immediately rejected this offer. He was very determined to marry you.
~ Manuel's request to marry you quickly turned into a demand. With the last letter he sent, you were forced to accept the marriage. Because if you didn't accept, it was written that relations between the two countries would deteriorate and even war would start. When you reached Portugal, Manuel himself welcomed you, just like the first time.
~ You got married in a magnificent and perfect wedding. Manuel showed you love and attention. He treated you with care and attention. He made sure that you had a large wardrobe with the most expensive jewelry and dresses made of wonderful fabrics. You had a lot of servants and bridesmaids working for you. Your husband Manuel would regularly report to you to make sure you were eating every meal, drinking enough water and fruit, getting enough sleep and rest, and getting enough sunlight and fresh air.
~ You were pregnant in no time. Manuel was literally on cloud nine. You were going to have a baby that would be proof of your love and a symbol of your commitment to the woman he loved. Moreover, you would now be a family and would stay together forever. Moreover, if your baby was a boy, he would be the future King of Portugal, Castile and Leon, and Aragon. Manuel treated you like you were glass throughout your pregnancy. The most skilled midwives and doctors were already at the Palace for the birth. When the labor started, Manuel didn’t leave your doorstep for even a minute. He was so excited and stressed. He was so afraid that something would happen to you or the baby.
~ When the doors finally opened, Manuel rushed in with excitement. You were lying exhausted on the bed. Your newborn son was in your arms. Manuel had a look of happiness and pride on his face as he approached you. He kissed your forehead and carefully took the baby in his arms. He said, "You did a great job and he was proud of you." Manuel named your son Miguel. He was the Crown Prince of Portugal, as well as the Prince of Asturias and Girona.
~ Being married to Manuel isn't all bad. Apart from jealousy attacks, his outbursts are rare. He is a good husband and a good father. He is ready to do anything for you. All you have to do is ask. In fact, most of the time you don't even have to ask. Because Manuel is a master at understanding what you want, what you think, and what you feel, whether it's from your gaze or your body language. He wouldn't hesitate to go to the ends of the earth to protect you and our children.Manuel never had a lover or a mistress. He remained faithful to you until his last breath.

Tumblr media
(this is not my art I found it on Pinterest, and in the comment section it's said that it was made by AI so💀)
~~
Princess (y/n) Laurier has been best friends with Princess Alyssa Everett since you both were just 6 years old. You both have many things in common, such as interests, opinions, and much more.
You both would usually hang out around each other's kingdom; you don't have any issues with her except with her father, Emperor Edward Everett. He was the hottest, most handsome man you have ever met, and you still do now.
You have had a huge crush on him that felt like butterflies inside your stomach since the day you met him, but he always has that emotionless face and rarely smiles unless at his wife, your best friend's mother. You know this from Princess Alyssa; she would complain about how cold and serious he is.
You still ignore those and try getting to know him, but he just looks annoyed or just straight-up ignores you, but you ignore it and still continue liking him. Not only that, you're not the only one; it's obvious that everyone that has met him, females and even males, all drool for him.
You still have some sense in you, and you also have to respect the Everett queen and Princess Alyssa since she is your best friend. You can't just let some love ruin the relationship you both had. You can't. She is like a sister to you. She helps you when you're confused; she protects and defends you when you were getting laughed at; she is there when you needed someone the most. It's not worth losing a relationship like this, and so your liking toward his father slowly dies down.
But things change when you grow up and start having features and curves and in the end, you become a gorgeous woman, many people are jealous of you even Princess Alyssa confesses to you about it and some desperately want you. You reject all of them since none of them are worthy of you, and you're disinterested in them.
Your intense gaze and soft complexion, with your structured face and striking presence, are on par with an iconic beauty, paired with the warmth and softness in your expression, which are very delicate. You would struggle to not look at yourself when there is a mirror.
You still have some feelings toward Emperor Edward, but you manage to hide it and be able to not think about him when talking to him.
The worst thing that could have happened was that the Queen of Everett died from childbirth while trying to give birth to the heir to the throne, but it went to a disaster. It was devastating news to hear from everyone.
The emperor was absolutely devastated and even despised the child. From that moment on he would never talk to anyone unless it was part of a duty, but other than that he would ignore the servant's advisers and even his own kids, which left Princess Alyssa depressed since she had to bear her mother's death, her father's coldness, and the baby boy that her mother lost her life to.
That week she came crying to you when you came to visit her and attended the funeral of the Everett Queen death. You decide to stay at Everett Palace for a few months before going back to Laurier Kingdom.
You promised Princess Alyssa that you'd take care of her and her baby brother, and so you did. After all, back at your kingdom and your family, you have 6 siblings, plus you, and you are the third eldest, which makes you the middle You have experience with babies after the experience of you sibling that you swear are more naughtyer when you take care of them.
In those months of staying, Emperor noticed that you had to take care of the baby boy and Princess Alyass when he found you singing a lullaby for them to fall asleep.
At that moment something in him awoke, something dark, horrible, and disgusting. He knew this was wrong, but who was there to stop him? Not even himself could do that.
From that moment on, he would try getting close to you and getting to know you better; by that, he would call you into his office or into his chamber. When talking, he would get close to you, too close, to the point that he's invading your personal space by burying his face in your hair, breathing in that sweet, gentle scent, or sucking and biting your earlobe.
You knew this was wrong. You both knew this was wrong, but you guys still continued. Your brain keeps telling you to stop and that this is your best friend's father, but your gut tells you to continue. For your best friend Princess Alyssa's sake.
At one of those meetings, you confess to him that you don't want to continue these "meetings" to respect your best friend Alyssa and her baby brother Prince James.
But when he hears that you swear you could feel the air getting tense and his face looks tense as well, and with clenched fists, he looks like he could kill someone that might have been you or others.
He then pushes you onto his office desk and forcefully rips your clothes off. All you can remember that day was just horror, pure fucking horror. It haunts your dreams, memories, and everything that you see that can somehow be related to the day you and he were together.
The cherry on top is Emperor Endward sends an arranged marriage to your kingdom between you both; you pray that your parents would reject this offer, but no. Instead, they accept it and send you a letter telling you the reasons that this could help our kingdom very much and this could give you a better future and more, but all you care about is that you're trapped with him. They also added in that they would be unable to see because of the distance of the two kingdoms and that it is time to set you free.
Oh, how you wish it were true to let you spread your wings and have your own freedom.
You hated everything, mostly yourself. You hated yourself for not being more alert and not telling anyone, not even your own family or close ones; you—you can't even describe the feeling that you're feeling at that point. You quite literally were disgusted by yourself.
You cry all day long to the point where Princess Alyssa hears it and finds you, and you vomit out all the things that happened while still crying. You wish the earth could just eat you whole, make you disappear from the earth, from this world, from this life.
You keep pressuring yourself that this is your fault for days till your hair has a few strands of white hair that you have noticed.
The wedding was within the week, and you both got married and wed. That very day and night of the "honeymoon," he slams you against the bed carelessly and forcibly spears open your legs with his hand while another pins both your head on top of your head.
You whisper near your ear,True to be told, I have actually noticed that since you were just a little girl, you always had a crush on me, so technically you wanted this to happen, so don't cry like last time, dear."
Your eyes go wide when you hear that he actually noticed. He knows that you have no words—absolutely no words.
That night was as horrible and traumatizing as the night you both had together. Princess Alyssa personally tries to help you escape; even after the marriage, she still supports you, even knowing the fact you are technically her stepmother.
But she accepted you, and you were quite stunned at how she handled the situation. Even though it was like hell, she still helped, whether by holding you while you were crying or whatever she was still there. It felt like she was starting to take care of you instead of you taking care of her like how you first promised.
In one of the many attempts of you trying to escape and her helping you with it, you both were caught, and Emperor Edward decided to punish you by isolating you and sentencing Princess Alyssa to be beheaded, his own daughter.
And you were forbidden to give her any visits after the situation. You didn't get the chance to even give her the last hug or talk or anything, not even a goodbye. You even threatened to kill yourself if he didn't allow you to see her, but he just laughs at you and tells the guards to throw you inside a dungeon where there's nothing, not even a window, so you have to rely on the fire outside.
Just like that, she's gone forever. You cry for days and refuse to eat, sleep, or even drink. The king himself has to personally force-feed you so that you don't die. You even scream and beat him as hard as you can in rage whenever you see him, but he just stands there, not unbothered. You might as well think that he doesn't even care or feel anything anymore, no remorse, no nothing, just disgusting lovesick eyes looking at you.
"I just can't get enough of you, love~"
Your life goes on until you have had enough, like enough one more year of this. You seriously don't think you want to be reincarnated into another life. You desperately want to feel things instead of being trapped in the shared chamber all day long, only allowed to go out to the garden for 1 hour to get fresh air with a few ladies in waiting and your own trusted servants near you to keep being aware of you and make sure you're not doing anything harmful to yourself or escaping.
You came up with the stupidest and most shameful idea. You decide to frame yourself for cheating on Emperor Edward and confess to him that you cheated. Making up fake clues for others to notice and gossip about, but the emperor refuses to believe it, so you told him personally.
"I cheated on you, Edward."
"You must be joking, dear. How would you even be able to do that, hm?"
but you just keep repeating the sentence, "I cheated on you."
This makes him overthink and triggers him, and he ends up struggling with you to death in the process. You still keep repeating the sentence, which forces him to grip your neck even harder till you are no longer breathing—not even a single movement, just soulless eyes staring straight.
When he realized that it was too late and there was no turning back, he let go of your neck, and you collapsed onto the ground, dead. He kneeled down next to you; finally, at this moment, he felt guilty for everything. He reflected on the things he had done to you, the amount of damage. Why didn't he think about this earlier? Maybe that could help him.
No, it's your fault for cheating on him. How dare you filthy women cheat on an emperor that has done everything for her sake? To this day he still blames you, but part of him does regret not caring what you felt and thought. He only treated you like a toy, a glass doll that would easily be broken. But he just couldn't help but love you with all his might, even if it meant hurting you.
He tried to keep your body from decomposing and rotting and would soak you in water to slow down the decomposing. He even went mad and brought you to the throne room for events, dressed you properly, stuffed you with cotton to keep you looking more alive, and said to others, "My wife is doing well; look at her, she's such a sleepy head; look at her sleeping, hehe…"
Sadly, eventually, he had no other choice but to finally bury you because your body was decomposing and smelling really bad. At the funeral, he gives a speech on how she was in his life and how he can't believe she died before him from 'sickness' and oh how sad he was and how he saw her glowing up into an elegant woman and more.
Prince James also gave a speech about how you try helping out, that he always sees her as a mother figure, and how (y/n) has always tried her best. He was innocent in all of these; as well, he even balled his eyes out when he found out that you died.
At the very last moment of seeing your face, he cupped your cheek one last time.
"Oh, how much I will miss you oh how I wish that I could go with you as well, but it's fine you don't need to worry love In my will, when I die, I'm going to be buried right next to you." He says that while chuckling while feeling remorse.
~~
omg, there are so many things I want to comment on but erm yeah this is how it is??? it could have been worse

sweetheart
Yandere Emperor X Consort! (F)Reader X Yandere Crown Prince(platonic)
милашка-sweetheart according to google correct me if im wrong!
CW: kidnapped, reader is look down upon by the nobles, infantilize, forced pregnancy, dehumanizing, mentions of attempt suicide, false rumor, power imbalance, worshipping, delusional(?)
NOTE: Crown Prince is at the age of 16(he is your first/oldest son). Reader is around 36-38. Emperor is two year younger than the reader. Also I don't speak russian everything is google (the empire is not based on irl russian empire but a fantasy world like the manhwas/shoujou isekai we read) and english is not my first language you can clearly see when you read the story. This is purely a fiction and I do not mean to offend anyone.
I DO NOT CONDONE ANY ACTION IN THIS FICTION.
MINORS DO NOT INTERACT
Tumblr media
Running is not ideal for a 5 month pregnant woman like you.
When you tried to seek help from your parents for the first time, they never helped you because who would believe an illegitimate daughter who was frowned upon by nobles.
You are an illegitimate child of the duke and a humble maid who passed away shortly after giving birth, but despite this, you are a physically and mentally healthy child. You even managed to withstand the attempts of your stepmother and your half-sister to discredit you in the family, and didn't even find a help to your neglectful father who busies himself of taking home many women from brothel.
That was in the past but you were desperate when you ask for their assistance. However, you never heard from them ever since you bore your first child, Ize.
Ize your son. Your lovely crown prince son grew up to be like your husband with his teachings. You tried to persuade him to never listen to his father but he only shook his head and told you that all his teaching that he was learning from his old man was to protect you.
Afraid that it will stress you even more in this suffocating high walls to protect you during your pregnancy and well being, Ize-the crown prince would be willing to act like a little kid for you. He would occasionally brew you a cup of tea that you enjoy or give you a handmade gift, such as an embroidered handkerchief, to show you that he was thinking of you and that said skill you taught him when he was a child. Knowing the child, this kind of acts is for him appease the worries you have;he is different behind closed doors of your confined palace where your eyes and ears can't reach; your crown prince son is a different person who will be willing to shed the blood of others just for you.
And it seems that the morals that you taught him must have been thrown out of the window thanks to your husband.
So here you are after escaping from the hundreds gazes of a watchful loyal hounds around your palace you escape, it wasn't easy since you are carrying the emperor's second child. You heard on a passing by servants that the two tyrants had a meeting with the other nobles and the neighboring kingdom, this is a rare occurrence that the two left you alone. It took you an hour to escape the royal grounds before exploring around the town till you found a port that would take you to another country. This is your only chance to escape that suffocating palace that those two tyrants confined you in. Your Husband, Yuri can't leave you alone not when he found out that you are with his child-a second child at that. Even before you were pregnant with his first child, his wary gaze and infantilization to you had multiplied tenfold.
Your husband spread the rumors about you being mentally ill. But why would he do such a thing? You reflected to yourself and it devastate you to realize it was his scheme to prevent you from seeking help from his subjects to escape. Only the royal physician and your husband were aware of this bogus illness. It felt betrayal that he has to make that action so he can confide you more.
Your husband's scheme worked. Even your own son believed the spewing lies coming from his father, and the nobles never gossip about you as if it was a taboo ever since you were married to the emperor. Speaking ill about the emperor's consort was just as good as the reaper visiting you by the second you speak those words. Only praises coming from their filthy mouths were allowed.
No one bats an eye on you, even the servants who serves under you. They will bathe you, serve you food, refreshments, but none of them will engage or start a conversation with you. When someone last made an effort to assist your escape, a kind servant at that. The lowest mining pit, which is worse than death, The emperor bestowed upon them to be sent the servant's family, including the said servant. High ranked criminals labour in a pit there for 18 hours with a maximum 4 hour break the rest of the hour are for necessities like sleeping, with much less food and income. In short, a death torture for them.
You implore your husband to kill them rather than send them there, the only thing he said to you that it wasn't your fault they were sent there. Something along the lines of—"you were acting like this because of your condition. That servant was attempting to kill you." He told you that in front of other servants. Everyone compliments his action for 'protecting' you. His cunning red eyes looks at you that none of the servants and nobles noticed but you did. It was a warning for you to behave or he will do worse.
Yuri has never harmed you, physically. but he will harm others who want to separate you from him.
The only time you regret your decision is when you met Yuri—he was about to meet his demise by the hands of his brothers if it weren't for you stumbling to see him in the middle of the night on an alleyway of the tsvetok village struggling to breathe from the deep pools of his own blood. So you drag his half dead body into your abandoned chamber—which is rarely visited by servants—that your father bestowed for you when you were born. Aiding his deep wounds, helping him heal up, befriending him, falling in love—
You purse your lips and gave a small wince feeling your belly is starting to ache, the kick from your unborn child thumps under your long dress.
My child please, Now is not the time! you gently brush your belly soothingly before leaning on the lamp post that dimly lit the night. You sigh in relief when you felt the baby inside of you cease on kicking. Although you were a little further from the palace when you looked behind you, you still needed to move quickly. Right now, you assume that Yuri or a servant that was suppose to serve you had definitely find out that you were gone this afternoon and notify the knights and some of high ranking mage to find you immediately, but the sun had already been sunk by the evening. They must have been having a hard time finding you. A little more 18 minute walk and you'll be able to ride on the ship that will help you travel to another empire, or any nation.
"ort---s--ing!" you turn to your left to look one of the vendors of the nights were gossiping. A woman with her husband was panting, assuming he was running to deliver a news to his family. His cloth headband on his raggedy hair is soaking. He took a deep breath before repeating what he said earlier. A dread of fear rise from your throat as he uttered his next words,
"The Emperor's Consort is missing! The Emperor's knights are blocking all way out!"
You heart felt like dropping when you saw a nearby knight were looking one by one at the women nearby, specifically women who are similarly pregnant like you. Speaking of the devil, they are already here!
Knights in horses, mages running around the busy street. Some of them stopping women who has similar hair color as you to assess if they found the right person.
"Oh my! I'm hoping the consort is doing okay! She must have acted such way due to her failing mental state. The emperor must have been worried sick, I can't imagine the devastion look of the emperor especially their son!" said the woman to her husband.
You hid your hair with your cape and quickly blend in with the busy road of the night town. Muttering, "excuse me!", "Apologize!" As you force your way around the crowd. One arm around your belly to protect child, while your hand went to sling your bag with clothes and some gold coins. as you bump so many people on the crowd. You look edges of the town, at the gate, to see all the possible exits were starting to get block by the imperials knights and mages. You bit your lips frustration as you felt the hope of getting your freedom back is slipping away from your grasp.
Your plan of getting to the port has been discarded after seeing a two mage and three knights were on their way there. Even if you did go in town's gate the gatekeepers will inspect people who are exiting and entering.
But...
You look at the old man who was riding a donkey with his carriage towards to exit of the gate, fruits were laying under the cloth. An Idea quickly pop your head but you are desperate to leave this suffocating country so you have no choice but to execute it.
Your silent foot falls went behind on a slow moving carriage before climbing up silently and quickly, in your haste and desperation movement, you didn't feel as though you had torn your cape at the wooden edge of the carriage before taking the fabric that was covering the fruits that keeps them from dust and dirt. You carried a handful of fruits before slowly sitting down beside it then covering yourself with the said fabric and the remaining fruit fast enough before the knights from the gate of this region would notice you. You wince when one of the fruit hit your belly but not enough to endanger the baby.
"Have you seen this lady?" A man in his mid 60s look at the paper, he squint his eyes as he held his old lightly crack glasses to take a better look. Your (e/c) eyes look at the gapping hole of the carriage and gulp fearfully when you saw your portrait on the paper holding by the imperial knight.
"O-oh...sa-aw her!" you held your breath when the old man spoke. The two knights look at each other before listening to the next word of what the old man would say.
He lick his dry lips before continuing, his voice's struggling due to his old age, "If I-Im..not mistake-en the lady in the p-picture look like the lady I saw by the lampost o..on the rozahk street!"
You exhaled in relief since you mistakenly believed that the elderly man had just seen you, but he actually noticed you five minutes' walk from the gate to roza street. However, this would also let them know that you are actually close by.
The imperial knights gave the elderly merchant a nod as they hastily walked around the city, alerting a nearby mage to use a spell to track you. They quickly tell their subordinates for a new command.
You felt the carriage starts to move. Hugging yourself for reassurance especially at your upcoming baby that everything will be okay.
You weren't escaping just for yourself but for your second child that will be born. You don't want your kid to become like their older brother and learn from their father. Ruthless, and doesn't have a compassion to another human. You want your kid to have a brighter future, away from the blood shed. You hope that if you got caught or killed by your husband in the future. You will tell your second child to run away and never look back, when you are gone.
You ignored how uncomfortable it was to sleep in the fruits. You close your eyes and see the farm neighborhood that the carriage passed as well as the slowly dissipating kingdom that was beginning to appear as a dot on the horizon.
The abrupt shake of your ride woken you up. You hear noises outside the carriage and glance through the hole to see that light was creeping through, signaling that it was dawn but sun has yet to come in the horizon. What is happening?. You peek above the cloth seeing that you don't have enough visual on what's happening. A dusty road lay in front of you, and woods surrounded you. You turn around to look behind you and realize that the palace is no longer in sight. A sense of relief that you were indeed far from that prison.
A bunch of voices caught your ears, you turned to look to your right.
Your whole body went pale.
Your son-the crown prince was chatting with each of the roadside merchants who had just exited from their vehicle not far from where you were. The imperial warriors and mages that were conversing with the other sellers the same task as your son was doing just behind him.
You curse yourself, how did they come here to fast?
You need to leave before they notice that you are inside this carriage. Just as you swiftly escape your imprisonment. You carefully stood up, removing the fabric that was covering you and the fruits, ignoring the woozy and aches from your muscle pain for not moving too much from the entire night.
A creak was heard in your vehicle when you tried to climb down. Snapping your eyes back at them, to witness if they heard the mistake you made. To your relief, The prince and the other guards were still busy interrogating.
They didn't hear me..
You reach down and starts to stalk away from them, your hands were trembling. Stepping back to reach the wood just a 5 meters behind you. It didn't matter if you get lost in the woods, as long as they don't catch you.
No, you would rather live in a woods, in a forest where no one can reach you.
As you step forward carefully in to the woods, you didn't notice from your cautious and anxious state that your boots crack a twig, just like the cliché you previously read. The nearest knight snaps his head at the sound. He was perplexed before realizing that the woman from the paper in his hand resembles you.
"Her majes-"
You dash toward the woods. The imperial knights sought to catch up to you, as you heard him behind. You grab a nearby rock and shot it directly to his skull, and it hits him.
You ignored the yelp as he yells your honorific causing the nearby knights hear him and went for his aid, before they realize what he was yelling and starts to chase after you.
You felt the dress that was getting stuck on some of bushes and dried branches, resulting to have your dress to be ripped.
Heartbeat were thumping agressively, adrenaline were rushing around your body. One of your hands went up to your belly protecting it from getting injured despite your legs were now full of scratches and bruises from the twigs, and sharp edges of these woods. You feel your legs ache.
"Mother!" You faintly hear a galloping horses along with your son's voice behind you.
Your mistake was to look behind you while running away. You saw how your son and his guards were starting to gain just to bring you back to that hellhole. Your son Ize was reaching up his hand to take you back, his red orbs were full of concern and anxiousness.
"Mother! It's me,Ize! Please, slow down you will hurt yourself!"he yelled."Mother! Think about my sibling! Your child! Listen to me! Don't let this illness take over you!"
Poor child, he thought all of this nonsense that you are doing was because of your bogus illness.
You were about to stop when you saw a nearby cliff but a trunk made you tripped.
You screamed feeling a misstep when you realized you are falling, instinctively cradling your pregnant belly, protecting it as you roll down from the ground. A piercing scream was heard—from your son. Your head colliding to the three and it felt like your head would split open.
Your eyes were blurry from the impact. Touching your belly if there was injury. Atleast trying to feel your lower part if there was bleeding through your thighs other than your legs.
You look up at the steep cliff to see your son was sliding down, crying out your title as his mother. You saw his red orbs were full of tears as it glides down to his cheeks. The last thing you saw before your vision was consumed by the darkness was his hands reaching up to your head.
You were awoken by the sound of the chirping birds coming from the balcony.
You coughed, feeling the dryness from your throat. You eyes were blurry for a few minutes before clearing to see that you were back to the same imprisonment.
But....
It wasn't the same room you shared with your husband. Are you...even in the palace?
You took your time to assess your surroundings only to realize that the room has similarities of the royalties room that are exiled but it looked renovated, one of your husband's brothers used to live here before taking his own life. You felt grim about the thought of it.
After his brother's passing you heard from one of the maids that he turned it into a vacation palace for royalties.
It was different from the last time you saw it. It was much more cleaner and better. It looked good after it was renovated.
Wait, the baby.
THE BABY!
You eyes quickly gaze down to your belly. Hands quickly feeling around them, you exhale in relief when you felt a small kick from your stomach. You felt your tears at the edge of your eyes. It was a miracle that the heavens hadn't take your unborn child away.
I'm sorry baby...
They would have died from the stupidity you'd done!
You laid down to your right side of the bed and cradle in your stomach muttering a soft apologies and starts fluttering your eyes to go back to sleep.
But somethings not right. You felt like a pair of eyes watching you, looking at you.
Observing you.
You opened your eyes and look up only to see your pair of red eyes staring down at you.
Your husband, the emperor sitting on a wingback couch, his face resting at his hand while the elbow is resting at the arm of the couch beside him is a kettle with a cup that rest on top of the bedside table.
You feel your body tense up, you tried to get up and turn to look at your husband.
"Y-your majesty." You called but it sounded like a whisper. You don't know what he will do to you. Sure, he never hurt you physically but this is the first time you'd gotten far away from the place he imprison you in.
You gulped, will he hurt you this time?
"I-I'm... I.." you cannot come up a word,an excuse, what if he gets sick of you? What would happen to your child?
You felt your breath shorten. Tears are starting to swell up in your cheeks.
A rough hand brush on your cheeks before cupping it. You found your partner is already beside you on the bed.
He didn't speak he just let you weep as he brush away your tears. You stammer your words wanting to apologize. The emperor handed you a cup of water and you took it quenching the thirst from your larynx.
Once you drank it all, you hiccup trying to stop your tears from coming out. You felt his hands caressing your belly. "H-husband.."you gulped.
"hush,милашка."he commanded and you held your tongue and closed your eyes when he leans on your cheeks before engulfing you with his arms around you. You felt suffocating around him like a snake coiling around your body.
You feel tensed as he starts peppering kisses on your shoulders and neck before resting his lips to your earlobes, you shudder when he kissed it.
His right hand from your waist slid up under your loose sleeve before sliding it down, your emperor leaned down giving your shoulder a hickey. You whimpered trying to push him away but he hadn't budge an inch. Once he was satisfied he let your skin go with a pop before looking at the red mark he left.
The same hand went to brush your hair, tuck it behind your ear before leaning his forehead against yours. His red eyes held adoration, affection, but most of all obsession.
"милашка." He muttered closing his eyes sighing, he brush his lips against yours before deepening it.
He kept calling you, held you in his arms gently. The same arms that has full of blood that slay so many heads to get to the top of this food chain.
He laid you down before kissing every finger tips of yours and then clasping it with his rough hands as he called for you.
"милашка...."
".... my милашка..."
He pressed one kiss on your collarbone. "None of this is your fault..." He told you.
"... This illness will be the death of you."
Your heart broke for him. He really delude himself that everything you did to get away from him was because of your 'illness'.
"... Everything will be fine, darling. I will take care of you." He dampened his lips one last time onto your lips before leaving you in your new confinement.

Note
imagine jester reader, in another of their dollmaking for the emperor shenanigans, manages to attract Pin.
They are no longer a beginner to this, this one should be the prettiest one they've ever done, those are the jester's last thoughts before drifting away to dreamland. Pin has seen better craftsmanship before and they themselves could certainly do better, but that little human with a funny hat seemed so earnest.....
You don't remember ever finishing that doll, and even weirder, no matter how many times you give it back to the emperor, at the end of the day it always sits atop of your bed again.....welp, the emperor is probably trying to pay you back for all your jokes, that's nice!
You smile in content with your new work, placing the little friend beside the other, much larger one on your work bench. Since you made your first doll for your emperor, you fell in love with the craft as a whole. Aside from the normal sizes plushies, you has been working for a few weeks now on a life sized jester doll.
The doll was a few inches taller than you; its color scheme a full arrangement of the rainbow. Its left arm and right leg were red with black stripes with the reversal was yellow with a diamond pattern. Extra fabric hung around its elbows: two bells attached to each. Its left chest was embroidered with the ace of hearts. It had a combine puffy collar, sleeves, and shorts; its bell strung hat the same color as its limbs. You decided to try something new and gave it a face plate made of wood; a smile blue tear by its cresent eyes and wide smile.
After all of that, you still weren't done. The doll was missing its hands and smaller details, plus you haven't seen the hat to its head. You were still happy with your current progess so all you had to do was keep working on it at a later date. For now, your production of dolls had to stop completely as you were summoned for your royal duties of keeping a smile on your emperor's face.
The second you leave the room, your closet door creeps open. A mannequin stumbles out of the abyss on its fragile wooden leans, fumbling towards your work bench. It looks down at all of the dolls you've made in the past. Your improvement is noticeable, even if they've still seen far better. More importantly, they can see the love for the craft that you had through your dolls. It's what led them to remaining within the castle walls and in various spaces around your room.
The mannequin places two objects on the table. Black plush hands equipped with tiny claws made from chips in its wood. It grabs your needle and thread; and lifts the sleeves of the jester doll. It attaches its creation to yours one at a time; getting through the first before you return. It creeps back into the closet and watches as you settle in for the evening.
-
Over the course of the following days, the doll is completed. You don’t remember going near your bench much during that time, nor finishing the doll when you look at the completed work, but you're too happy to see it done to care.
"Hello, New friend. Glad you're finally done." You hug the doll, picking up it. It was a little heavier than you remembered. Its hand wraps around your waist as you carry it across the room and out to the hall.
You head to the emperor's study and kick open the door. "Your highness! I've brought company!"
The emperor swallows back a grimace as you bring the human sized doll in the room and place it in a vacant care. "What on earth is that?"
"It's our newest guest! They don't have a name yet, but aren't they beautiful?"
Flames flicker across the polish of the doll's face from the fireplace.
"Gorgeous."
"I'll leave you two to get comfortable. Bye!"
The emperor leers at the doll. He obliviously couldn't throw it out since it was a gift you gave him, but there was something unsettling about it.
That night, a shadow looms over your bed. You said they were beautiful.
-
You wake up the next morning to a fright. The doll had been placed in your bed and facing you. Its arms were thrown over you in a soft embrace and a note card sat on its pillow. You read it.
"My name is Pin. Its nice to meet you."
Pin. Must be the name the emperor gave them. Finally getting back at you for all your laughs. You sit up and bring them along with you, hugging them to your chest as you climb out of bed. "It's nice to meet you too Pin, and I'm glad you came to sleep with me - but lets get you home."
-
You shut the door to the emperor's study after placing Pin back in their chair; bumping into him as you turn.
"Oh! Hello, your highness! Thank you for leaving Pin with me last night. They're a good cuddle partner apparently."
"Who?"
You point at the door. "The doll. You named it Pin right?"
"No."
"Oh... Maybe it was a maid then. Sorry to have troubled you." You walk away.
The following morning, Pin is there again. You attempt to return them, but they're back again like clockwork. Another note appears on your bed the second time you do it.
"I like it in here. Please don't throw me away. I want to be with you - forever."
And so, ignoring the oddity of the situation, you gained a new bed mate. The emperor is jealous, but can do nothing to get rid of it since it is a harmless inanimate object. You bond over practicing your jokes on them and chatting about your day; unaware that the doll was listening loud and clear. Its wide smile reflected the one within the entity inside the doll at hearing your voice.
You climb into bed for yet another peaceful night of sleep, kissing them goodnight before settling down. As soon as you fall asleep, wooden lips touch your forehead; a plush hand stroking your hair as the doll hums a soft lullaby.
"Goodnight, Y/n. I hope you have sweet dreams because mine is right here"

Yandere Story Idea #16:
Yandere Yandere (Fatherly) Emperor and Empress (Maternal) x Daughter! Reader:
Think about it.
I imagine that after a long line of princes, the yandere empress finally has a princess, and both parents are delighted with her, since she was the first daughter after many years of trying. Your father, the emperor, agrees that you be raised under the care of the empress (your mother).
From the moment you were born, you were never left alone for a single minute. When the Empress wasn't with you, the Emperor himself was. Your mother always made you follow her everywhere she went, as well as sharing her tastes and hobbies, since having only had princes prevented her from doing that. You had a close mother-daughter relationship, and with your father it was something more or less similar.
As you grow up, your parents become more overprotective of you, so much so that they even limit your contact with your older brothers, the princes. Not only would they give you nice gifts, but the best teachers, doctors and servants would be at your disposal (even better than those of your older brothers), although your brothers would probably be jealous of you.
They wouldn't let you walk alone for even a second.
If your father has a harem of consorts and concubines (like other emperors), then the empress will be more paranoid about you, since even though princesses do not inherit the throne, she knows that her enemies can harm you.
Once, when you were five years old, a maid broke a porcelain doll that your father had given you after returning from one of his trips. Unfortunately for that maid, the emperor was returning with you just when the doll broke, so he saw it and got SO angry that he asked his butler to take you out to the garden for a walk, so that you wouldn't see your father the emperor whip the poor maid to death. All this because he considered that maid to be reckless in daring to do that to your things, even if it had been an accident.
Even if more princesses were born, you were the object of your parents' overprotection and adoration.
Even your older brothers didn't dare to do anything bad to you. Once a new maid spoke ill of you (even though you hadn't done anything), and the empress herself slapped her in the face.
They hired servants who document your EVERY move.
The Emperor adores you so much that he will delay any kind of engagement or marriage alliance. He will reject any proposal, and silence anyone who mentions the subject. He does not want you away from him.
If it were up to them, you would stay locked in your room all the time so that nothing would hurt you, and they would tell you that they do everything for your own good.
You were punished by being locked up for an indefinite period of time, followed by the classic punishment of writing the same sentence repeatedly for a long time.
No trying to escape from the palace. The emperor would have experienced guards and servants around you to prevent that.
And if you do get married, then your parents will make sure that you have no choice but to live near the palace, no matter what.
They would be capable of killing if something happens to you.
If you fall ill, they will make sure you rest and eat well, even if it is against your will. If you were to die, they would both go mad with grief, especially the empress.
If you were to die, they would use your chambers as a sanctuary to you, where they would go to pray for you, and in the process force EVERYONE to mourn you.
Your emperor father would not let you have any contact with his family, as there is a power struggle going on where even his own brothers, cousins ​​and uncles could be his enemies and would do ANYTHING to get the throne; even if that includes kidnapping or killing you just because you are the emperor's daughter. Your mother would know this, and every time her brothers-in-law come, she will make you stay with her in the central palace.
With the Empress's family it's a different story, since there are no problems of inheritance of the throne, things are easier unless there is someone who tries to hurt you or pressure you like they do with your mother.
-The End.
What do you think?

imagine attending as a servant to the emperor who was taken by grief with the lost of his wife
you notice how he drowns himself in alcohol leaving his work to the butlers and other lords
even neglecting his only child, who you can see was sadden by the situation of losing their mother then their father to drinking
the emperor was too drunk to pay attention to you, although you are mostly the one who takes care of him because you tolerate anything that comes into your way
whether he throws a fit or vomit all over, you chose to endure it because of necessity
whenever you have time for yourself, you often find the young child of the emperor all alone, playing by the gardens or at their mother's empty room
the servants and guards attending to the child or passing by would look at the child with pity in their eyes thinking they are going to be doomed for life
having enough of seeing the sad prince/princess, you took it upon yourself to take care of them
you approached the child who was wary but eventually warmed up to you
days went by and the young prince/princess would often follow you like a duckling to it's mother
you adore the little kid and everyone can see it, the smile coming from the prince/princess was enough to make anyone's day bright
the news of his own child being fond of another person reached the ears of the emperor
he was in the middle of throwing a fit when you did not attend to him
the poor guard assigned to him had to inform him how you are currently attending to the his child which explains why you are late
he got a little sober and asked to show where you are
he soon dressed a little more decently albeit still smelling like alcohol and his appearance messy, he still went to find you
the guard lead the way until the emperor comes into a view where you are playing with the prince/princess along with a couple of servants
he watches at how loud his child's laughter are and the glow of your face
he feels his heart beat as if he has fallen in love again
you were nudge and turn to look at the emperor gracing you with his presence
you immediately stop tickling the young child and bow to him
words of apology came out of your lips profusely, stumbling over your words as you look down fearing for the worst
he only asked you to stand up and inspects you
your doe eyed stare makes his insides turn into mush
the young prince/princess turning to you pulling your hand to play again
the emperor looks down at his child who hid behind you from being unfamiliar with their very own father
he kneels down at the level of his child, it pains him how terrible he must've been for neglecting the sweet child his dead wife left behind
he apologizes for his behavior and promises to be on his best
the emperor saw how the little boy/girl would look up to you asking for approval to which you gave them a nod
the kid reluctantly agrees
he then turns to you apologizing and thanking you for taking care of the little one
since that day, it changed the way he looks at you
there's constantly a guard by your side especially when you are with the young child
the emperor keeps an eye on you at times
monitoring your routine
sending gifts and goods to your way
his obsession worsens day by day
he would slowly began to show interest with you
the emperor would drop his bad habits hoping you would see him in a different light
he does want to change but he can't the itching of his mind and hands to be on you
he quits alcohol and now you are his new addiction
he spends more time joining you and his only child
to sneakily get closer to you, learning about your interests and background
it makes him fall deeper in-love with you
his advances would become obvious to everyone, everyone except you
too focused on your duties to even noticed the emperor following you like a puppy
he grew even more jealous and would often take people secretly to torture
the next time you encounter those people, they would only scurry away than interact with you which places you in an odd position
he tunes it up even more through 'accidental' touches
he figures that he loves it when he's close to you, inhaling your scent almost delicious enough to taste you
he's hoping to get more so he permanently assigned you to him when you are not spending time with his child
his company intimidates you as you always feel his heated gaze
eyes scanning down from your head to toe, licking his lips while doing so
the emperor would often cage you in his arms or simply grabbing you by the waist
you get surprised everytime he does
when he couldn't handle it anymore he pins you in place and asks if you can't see how much he's pining for you
you shake your head no and he grins
"I will show you how much I want you to be mine."
he starts kissing you, making you whimper in the process
he makes you wrap your arms around him
kissing you so roughly almost taking your breath away
he rips your dress off making you yelp but he does not break the kiss
the emperor's hands would reach over to rub his palms over your skin
his touch leaves a trail of goosebumps and you feel heated
he breaks of the kiss and his lips travel south to suckle on your nipples
he plays with your breasts, teasing them and pinching them
he chuckles as he hears your whines
"patience, wouldn't be lovely if your lovely breasts swell with milk after I filled you with child?"
his words surprises you, making you worry but your mind is overtaken by lust
"yes please my emperor."
you say sultrily successfully seducing him with a sentence alone
he gets you and him naked
he feels how wet you are for him but decides that it isn't enough for him to let you accomodate to his size
so he scissors your walls with his fingers, rubbing and thrusting until his palms feel your clit
you whine and thrash around as you feel pleasure all over
back arching as he sings praises for how you're doing so well for him
you take the pleasure he gives you and soon comes undone with his hands
he pulls his hands out of your sore pussy, then brings his slick coated fingers to your lips
"open your mouth and suck it."
you comply and suck and lick slick of your release on his fingers
you taste your arousal making you clench your thighs which does not go unnoticed by him
he positions his body between your legs, grabbing you to feel you even closer
he looks down at you with lust
thrusting into you without warning
he groans at the tightness surrounding him almost rendering him motionless with how you squeeze his cock
he starts to thrust slow then suddenly went fast
you moan loudly as he fucks you hard
eyes rolling back to the back of your head
your brain shutting off from the stimulation you are receiving
he rams his cock into you with no mercy, overstimulating your clit in the process
he groans out that he is going to cum he rubs your clit with his thumb
fucking you even harder as you squeal
he thrusts so fast until he cums with a loud groan by your ear
you have your second orgasm with him filling your womb with his seed
he pulls out to see how his cum drips, he pushes it back with a thumb letting you moan a little softly
He cuddles you and you snuggle right back
You immediately fall asleep with exhaustion
he whispers in your ear that you are going to be his and his only
the emperor is determined to make you take the seat of the queen to raise his children and be his wife
he wants you to swell up with his kids marking you as his
for now he let's you rest and those plans with be continued for another day

i do NOT fw the emperor!! (i need the kingdom to start a revolution immediately) but what if darling was a overworked maid instead of a concubine ,:3
yan emperor
FYM! THATS IT!!!!! yandere emperor is a silly lil guy
Tumblr media
he didn't notice you. to be fair, he hardly noticed anyone - hell, he struggled to memorize the name of the concubine he saw the most.
but you seemed cute. the way you frantically ran from one part of the castle to another, trying to get your tasks done for a day. you seemed exhausted most of the time, but that didn't matter much to him.
he overheard one day though, the head maid ordering you to do tasks that were ordered to her, tasks that a new maid shouldn't be doing. he didn't stop her though.
he was curious. curious about you. curious why you still worked here. you were obviously overworked, so why? you didn't receive a good pay either.
"you're paying a lot of attention to that maid," his younger sister brought up one day. "is she one of the submissive ones?"
it wouldn't be a lie to say his younger sister was like him.
"i think so. she's hardworking."
"are you gonna make her your new concubine? they've all been crying to me about how you haven't slept with them recently."
"no.. i don't think i will. maybe i'll keep her as a maid for now."
he leaves you a small present. a heart locket necklace. inside the locket, there was a small paper, one with his initials.
but you couldn't assume it was him who left it.
that would be disrespectful.

Yandere Emperor x afab concubines reader
Description: Plucked from the streets and forced into the Emperor’s harem, Yn refuses to bow to fate. She fights, schemes, and searches for any opportunity to escape the palace’s suffocating grip. But as she navigates the treacherous world of politics, power, and whispered conspiracies, she catches the attention of Emperor Zhéyàn—a man as ruthless as he is unreadable. In a palace where survival is an art, will she be able to reclaim her freedom—or will she find herself woven into the empire’s fate?
Tumblr media
The sound of her bare feet slapping against the cobblestones was the only thing Yn could hear as she sprinted through the twisting alleys. Her breath came in sharp gasps, heart hammering in her chest. The city, usually bustling with life and noise, felt suffocating now. Too many corners. Too many eyes watching.
She knew these streets. Knew every crack in the stone, every loose board she could slip under, every shadow deep enough to swallow her whole. But none of it mattered when they were already closing in.
It had been a mistake—staying too long near the merchant stalls, laughing with the baker’s daughter, standing in the sun where her face could be seen. She hadn't noticed the house master watching from the silk shop across the street. A man with gold-threaded robes and a calculating gaze, one who judged worth with a glance. And in that moment, he'd decided: Pretty enough.
"That one," he'd told his guards, voice cold and certain. "The Emperor’s harem has room for another."
And just like that, her fate was sealed.
Yn had been running ever since, slipping through side streets, dodging hands that reached for her. Her legs burned, her lungs screamed for air, but she didn’t stop. Couldn’t stop. She knew what happened to girls taken behind those gilded walls. They became ornaments. Playthings. Forgotten names and silent mouths.
"Get back here, girl!" a guard barked from behind, heavy boots pounding the ground. "Don’t make this harder!"
Harder? It was already impossible. She could hear the jangle of armor, the sharp whistle one man gave to signal the others. They were surrounding her, closing the trap like wolves circling prey.
She ducked into a narrow alley, heart pounding in her ears, only to skid to a halt. Another guard stood at the end, smirking, arms crossed as if he'd been waiting. Of course they knew her routes. The streets she called home were nothing compared to the reach of palace dogs.
Desperation clawed at her throat. She spun around, ready to risk another path, when a hand snatched her wrist. Rough. Unforgiving.
"Let go!" she snarled, twisting and kicking, but her strength was nothing against the iron grip of someone trained for this.
The guard yanked her forward, face impassive. "You should be grateful," he muttered, almost bored. "The palace will feed you. Dress you in silk. You’ll live better than you ever did here."
Yn spat at his feet. "I'd rather starve in the streets."
The streets blurred past in a rush of dust and panic. Yn thrashed in the iron grip of the palace guards, bare feet scraping against the rough stone as they dragged her away from the life she knew. Her heart pounded in her ears, drowning out the muttered curses of the men hauling her toward the looming palace gates.
The slap came fast, sharp enough to make her ears ring. She tasted blood, but it only fueled the fire burning inside her chest. She thrashed, bit, kicked, but they were too many, too practiced. She was dragged, half-limp, through the streets she'd once run freely.
Onlookers turned away. No one interfered. Why would they? It wasn’t the first time a pretty girl had been plucked from the gutter for a higher purpose.
"Hold still, you little—!" one growled, tightening his grip on her wrist.
Yn’s answer was swift—a sharp twist and a vicious bite to the soft flesh of his hand. The guard yelped, jerking back, and she used the moment to kick at the other’s shin, adrenaline making her wild.
“Stupid girl!” The second guard stumbled, nearly dropping her. “You think this fight matters? You’re palace property now.”
“Like hell I am!” she spat, kicking again, heels digging into the ground as they pulled her forward. “You’ll have to kill me before I sit pretty in silk for some spoiled bastard!”
The third guard, older and wearier, only sighed. “They always fight,” he muttered. “Doesn’t change a damn thing.”
The palace walls loomed closer, golden in the dying light. Beautiful, cold, inescapable. A gilded cage. She’d heard the whispers from girls who’d been taken before. Once you passed through those gates, you were no longer a person. Just another flower in the Emperor's garden, waiting to wither.
She didn’t care. She couldn’t care. If she stopped fighting, if she let them take her into that gilded prison, she’d never see freedom again. Her fists lashed out, nails clawing at skin, voice raw from screaming as people on the streets turned away. No one interfered. No one ever interfered.
They reached the palace gates too soon. Tall, imposing, decorated with gold filigree that caught the dying light like fire. A beautiful lie.
The last thing she saw before the gates closed behind her was the sky turning crimson—like the universe itself was bleeding for her.
The guards didn’t slow. One yanked her forward by the waist, throwing her over his shoulder like a sack of rice. She kicked and punched, but his armor dulled the blows.
“Let me go, damn you!” Yn snarled, beating her fists against his back. “I’m not something you can claim!”
The sun hung low over the palace, casting golden light through the lattice windows of the grand hall. Incense curled lazily in the air, failing to mask the bitterness of court politics. Zhéyàn, the Emperor, sat on his throne, sharp golden eyes half-lidded in boredom as the steward droned on.
“…and with the new batch of girls brought in from the outer provinces, Your Majesty, I’m certain you’ll find one to your liking,” the steward said, her tone practiced and smooth. “The ministers continue to whisper about heirs. A distraction might ease the pressure.”
Zhéyàn didn’t react, swirling the tea in his porcelain cup. He’d heard it all before. The officials, the nobles, even the servants—they all spoke of duty, legacy, and heirs. As though a womb could settle an empire.
The steward, an older woman with silver threaded through her dark hair, pressed on. “I selected them personally—educated, graceful, untouched by the corruption of the city. A few from the countryside, some from merchant families. The house master is already preparing them—”
A scream cut through the air, followed by the unmistakable thud of bodies hitting the ground.
“Let me go, you bastards!”
The hall fell silent. Zhéyàn’s gaze flicked up, suddenly alert.
The steward paled. “What in the heavens—”
Another shout echoed through the open courtyard outside the hall, followed by a string of curses sharp enough to make the gathered officials exchange uneasy glances.
“Get off me! I’m not some prize to be bought and sold!”
The heavy wooden doors burst open, and two guards stumbled inside, struggling to restrain a young woman. Dirty, disheveled, and wild-eyed, she kicked and twisted with the kind of ferocity born from desperation.
One guard grunted as she drove her elbow into his ribs. “Hold her down, damn it!”
Zhéyàn leaned forward, intrigued despite himself.
The steward, flustered, hurried to explain. “Ah—this one, Your Majesty, was a last-minute acquisition. The house master saw her in the market and deemed her… suitable.”
“Suitable?” Zhéyàn echoed, watching as the girl—no, the woman—bit down on the arm of the second guard hard enough to draw blood.
The steward winced. “She was… less than compliant. But her looks—once cleaned up, of course—”
“Let. Me. GO!”
Zhéyàn didn’t move. He simply watched.
The tiger at his side, Huāng Xie, lifted its massive head, golden eyes narrowing as it observed the commotion with lazy interest.
Finally, Zhéyàn spoke, his voice calm but cutting through the chaos like a blade.
“Enough.”
The room froze. The guards halted mid-step, one holding Yn by her upper arm, the other wiping blood from his lip.
Yn, breathless and trembling with adrenaline, snapped her gaze toward the throne.
Zhéyàn met her glare without flinching. Beneath the dirt and fury, she was striking—not just in appearance but in spirit. The concubine house broke most women before they even reached the palace gates. This one? She was still fighting.
“How charming,” he drawled, resting his chin on one hand. “The steward brings me flowers, and yet one arrives with thorns.”
The steward bowed hastily. “Your Majesty, I assure you, she’ll be trained into proper decorum. This behavior is—”
“Expected,” Zhéyàn interrupted, eyes never leaving Yn’s face. “A caged bird always beats its wings before it realizes the bars won’t break.”
Yn’s lip curled. “I’m not a bird. And I won’t stay in your damned cage.”
A sharp intake of breath swept through the hall. No one spoke to the Emperor like that.
Zhéyàn smiled, slow and deliberate. “Is that so?”
He rose from his seat, robes whispering against the polished floor as he descended the steps of the dais. The guards stiffened but didn’t move as their Emperor approached. Huāng Xie padded silently behind him, tail flicking.
Standing before Yn, Zhéyàn studied her like one might examine a curious artifact.
“Tell me, street rat,” he murmured, voice low enough for only her to hear. “Do you know how many women have stood where you are now? Cleaned, polished, and presented like lacquered dolls?”
Yn’s breath hitched, but she refused to look away.
“They all came in with dreams of escape,” Zhéyàn continued, fingers brushing Huāng Xie’s fur as the tiger prowled closer. “Most realized too late that freedom in this palace is an illusion.”
Huāng Xie paused beside Yn, nose twitching as he sniffed at her dirt-streaked clothes.
The steward wrung her hands. “Your Majesty, if you’d prefer, we can return her to the house master and—”
“No.” Zhéyàn’s golden eyes gleamed. “Keep her.”
The words landed like stones in the hush that followed.
“Train her, clean her, dress her in silk if you must.” He tilted his head, smile sharpening. “But don’t break her. I find her far more interesting when she bites.”
With that, he turned and ascended the steps once more, Huāng Xie brushing past Yn’s side as if in silent approval.
The guards hesitated, waiting for further orders.
Zhéyàn waved a dismissive hand. “Take her away. Make sure she doesn’t destroy half the palace before nightfall.”
Yn, still catching her breath, clenched her jaw as the guards moved to drag her off again.
But this time, she didn’t scream.
She simply stared after the Emperor, defiance burning in her eyes like an ember refusing to die.
As she was pulled from the hall, the steward muttered under her breath.
“May the gods have mercy. That girl is going to be nothing but trouble.”
Zhéyàn heard—and smiled.
“Perhaps,” he murmured, settling back into his throne. “But what’s a kingdom without a little rebellion?”
The hall buzzed with uneasy murmurs as the guards dragged Yn away, her defiant glare lingering like smoke in the air. The steward, still pale from the scene, hurriedly bowed before Zhéyàn, her forehead nearly touching the polished floor.
“Your Majesty,” she began, voice tight with strained composure, “I deeply apologize for the disturbance. I had no idea the girl would be so… unruly.”
Zhéyàn, reclining in his seat once more, waved a hand lazily. His golden eyes glinted with something closer to amusement than anger.
The steward swallowed hard, choosing her words carefully. “Rest assured, I will personally speak to the girl. She’s clearly frightened and unaware of her place. Given time, I’m certain she can be… molded into something more fitting for the palace.”
Zhéyàn hummed thoughtfully, fingers tapping against the armrest of his throne. “Do you intend to break her spirit entirely, Steward? That would be rather dull.”
The steward’s eyes widened. “N-no, Your Majesty. I only meant to ensure she understands the reality of her situation. I will calm her down, speak sense to her. The last thing we need is for her defiance to spread among the other girls.”
Zhéyàn leaned forward, golden gaze sharpening. “See that you don’t mistake control for obedience. I don’t want another lifeless doll paraded before me.”
Huāng Xie, the tiger, stretched languidly at the foot of the dais, golden eyes half-lidded as he rumbled in satisfaction.
The steward bowed deeper. “Of course, Your Majesty. I will handle the matter personally.”
Zhéyàn leaned back once more, the smile curling at the edge of his lips betraying his amusement.
“Good,” he murmured. “Do try. I look forward to seeing how long it takes for her to slip through your fingers “
The walls of the concubine house closed around Yn like a silk-covered cage—beautiful, suffocating, and inescapable. She stumbled into the courtyard, wrists raw from the ropes they'd only just cut loose. Her clothes, once practical and sturdy for street life, were torn and stained with dirt from her struggle. Stray strands of hair clung to her sweaty face, and her chest heaved with exhausted defiance.
“Move.”
The guard shoved her forward, and Yn barely caught herself, stumbling onto the pristine stone pathway. Around her, silk-clad women paused in their embroidery and quiet gossip, eyes narrowing in assessment. Some whispered behind delicate fans. Others looked away, uninterested.
Her heart pounded in her chest, panic rising like bile in her throat. Her arms were aching from the tight grip of the guards, but she refused to show any weakness. She wasn’t going to submit. Not to them. Not to the Emperor. Not to this life.
One of the guards, the one who had been the most vocal in dragging her here, chuckled cruelly. “I can’t wait to see how long it takes for her to turn sweet and obedient. You’ll break, eventually,” he said with a nasty grin, his eyes roaming over her dirtied clothes and disheveled hair.
Yn’s chest tightened, the insult cutting deeper than she expected. Something inside her snapped—her resolve hardened, her pride surging up through the anger burning in her veins.
Before any of the guards could react, Yn swung her fist. It was a wild, desperate motion, one driven by instinct and fury. She aimed for the man’s jaw, hoping for even a hint of satisfaction.
But her aim was off. The force of her punch collided with his face, but the impact wasn’t as satisfying as she’d hoped. Her fist instead struck his nose, the sickening crunch of bone splitting the air. The guard staggered back, his face bleeding, but Yn barely noticed. Her hands throbbed with a sharp, searing pain, and she let out a cry of frustration, clutching at her wrist.
“I told you to stop!” one of the guards shouted, seizing her by the arm. “You’ll pay for that!”
The two others closed in on her, eyes full of fury.
But before they could lay hands on her again, two figures stepped into the room. Lian, with her practiced grace, and Mei, her gaze hardened but filled with a quiet understanding. Lian took one look at the guards, her gaze icy.
“Enough,” she said firmly, voice carrying an authority that immediately made the guards hesitate. She glanced at Yn’s broken hand, then back at the guards with a disappointed sigh. “You’ve done enough. This is not how we handle matters here.”
Mei stepped forward, placing a gentle hand on Yn’s bruised wrist. “Let me see,” she said softly, her voice soothing as she began to assess the damage. “You were too rash. You should’ve waited for a better moment.”
Yn gritted her teeth, pain coursing through her, but she didn’t pull away. Mei was always gentle with her, unlike the others. She tried to resist, but the tears threatened to well up in her eyes as her hand was carefully tended to.
Lian crossed her arms, her gaze coolly sweeping over the guards. “If you think a woman’s spirit can be broken with pain, you’re sorely mistaken. If you want obedience, try kindness. If you can manage that, maybe we’ll see how it goes.”
The guards looked between each other, unsure of how to respond to the unexpected reprimand. Lian turned to Yn with a small, reassuring smile. “Let’s get you cleaned up,” she said, her tone softening just a bit. “You need rest. Let the guards handle the rest of their mess.”
Mei gave Yn a sympathetic look, guiding her gently towards the back of the house to tend to her injuries while Lian kept her calm, her presence acting as a shield against the rest of the chaos around them.
Yn’s hand still throbbed, but in the midst of the pain, there was a small, flickering feeling—one that she hadn’t had in a long time. Maybe, just maybe, she wasn’t entirely alone in this.
Tumblr media
Yn stood in the center of the bathhouse, the steam swirling around her like a suffocating fog. She felt exposed, her skin raw and dirty from the streets. She had been yanked from her life, torn away from everything she knew, and now she stood here—alone. The thought of being forced into this bath, cleaned like some animal, ignited a bitterness in her chest.
She stood in her old, tattered clothes, a far cry from the lavish silk robes the other concubines wore. Her body was tired, covered in grime and the wear of the harsh life she had fought to survive. The humiliation of this situation hit her hard, like a weight pressing down on her chest, suffocating her resolve.
“Don’t be shy,” Lian’s voice cut through her thoughts. Yn looked up to find the older girl standing at the doorway, her expression kind, but laced with an understanding that Yn couldn’t quite grasp.
Mei was behind her, arms crossed, leaning against the wall with an expression that seemed to hide a great deal beneath her calm exterior. The steward watched from the side, her face unreadable, but there was a certain coldness in her gaze.
Yn remained still, the bitterness building, but Lian stepped closer. “Let us help you. You’re not alone here.”
There was no escape. Yn knew that now. Her only choice was to play along, to endure, at least until she found a way out. The water, warm and inviting, seemed almost like a mockery. She didn’t deserve it. She didn’t deserve any of this.
But Lian’s voice softened, “You need this. Let us clean you.”
Yn didn’t respond immediately. She didn’t want their help, but she didn’t want to fight them, either. Slowly, reluctantly, she stepped into the bath, the warm water surrounding her as she lowered herself in. It felt like the water was mocking her, lapping against her skin with the same cold indifference the world had shown her. She closed her eyes, letting the warmth seep into her aching muscles, but it did little to ease the tension in her chest.
Lian motioned for the attendants, who poured water over Yn’s head, their hands gentle as they washed away the dirt that clung to her skin. Mei observed from the corner, quiet but watchful, her eyes never straying too far from Yn, as if waiting for her to break.
The scent of soap and oils filled the air, and for a brief moment, Yn was transported back to simpler times. Times when she’d bathed in the quiet comfort of her own home, away from all this. But now, those memories were just that—memories.
“I know it’s hard,” Lian said, her voice gentle as she helped Yn scrub the dirt away. “But you’ll get used to it. We all do.”
Yn didn’t respond, her eyes trained on the water beneath her, unable to meet their gaze. She didn’t belong here. She wasn’t like the others. She didn’t want to be here.
Once the bath was finished, Lian helped Yn out of the water, her touch surprisingly gentle as she wrapped a towel around her. The heat of the water had relaxed her body, but her mind was still sharp, still defiant. She hadn’t let them break her, not yet.
“You should get dressed,” Lian said, offering her a robe made of soft, pale silk that contrasted sharply with the dirty, torn clothes she had been wearing.
Yn hesitated, glancing down at the fine fabric. She didn’t want to wear this. She didn’t want to be treated like this. But Lian’s steady gaze held hers, and with a resigned sigh, Yn slipped into the robe. It was soft, luxurious even, but it felt wrong on her body. She didn’t deserve this. She was just another girl in this palace, another face in a sea of beautiful, obedient women.
Lian smiled, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “It’ll be alright. We’re all in this together.”
Yn didn’t speak, just nodded quietly. She didn’t trust Lian’s words, not yet. But for now, she would play along. For now, she will survive. She had no other choice.
The steward watched silently, her eyes lingering on Yn for a moment longer before he turned to Lian and Mei. “Get her settled in,” she said, her tone flat.
Lian nodded and motioned for Yn to follow her. As they left the bathhouse, the scent of oils and soaps clung to Yn, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that she had lost more than just her freedom.
But as they walked down the hall, she kept her head high, unwilling to let anyone see the tears that threatened to break free. She would endure this, but she wouldn’t let it break her.
Not yet.
Lian led Yn through the quiet halls of the concubine quarters, the soft sound of their footsteps echoing off the polished floors. The other girls—Mei and a few others—followed behind them in silence, casting glances at Yn every so often. Despite the warm gestures and kind words, Yn could feel their eyes on her, like they were trying to gauge whether she would fit in with them, or whether she would break under the pressure of palace life.
Finally, Lian stopped in front of a simple wooden door, its frame carved with intricate patterns, though it lacked the ornate grandeur of other rooms in the palace. She opened it with a soft click and motioned for Yn to enter.
"This is your room," Lian said, her voice soft but warm, like she was offering something precious. "It’s simple, but it’s yours for as long as you’re here. You can decorate it as you like, and it will be a place of your own."
Yn stepped inside, her gaze immediately scanning the room. It was larger than any space she had ever had for herself, yet it felt almost too empty. A bed with white silks, a small table near the window, and a wardrobe on one side. In the corner, a display shelf for any gifts or tokens given to her—perhaps by the Emperor, perhaps by other guests.
But none of it mattered. It was just a gilded cage.
Her eyes flicked to the small window near the bed, where the moonlight leaked through the curtains, casting a pale glow on the room. She felt the weight of it—this was not freedom. This was confinement dressed in silk.
Her fingers lightly traced the wood of the table as her mind worked, already scheming and planning. She knew this palace better than most, and she had spent enough time observing the guards, the routines of the servants, and the flow of life here to start putting the pieces together.
Lian and Mei stood by the door, watching her, though they said nothing for the moment. There was a tension in the air—an understanding between them that Yn wouldn’t be here long if she had her way. But for now, they would let her have her space.
"It's... not as grand as some of the other rooms," Lian said, as if trying to reassure her. "But it’s comfortable, and the Emperor will likely send gifts for you in time."
Yn's eyes flicked toward the shelf where such gifts would be placed. Jewelry, perhaps, or other trinkets. Things she didn’t want. Things she couldn’t care less for. She had no use for any of it, not while she was stuck in this gilded cage.
“Thank you,” Yn said quietly, her voice low but polite enough to mask the bitterness curling in her chest. She made a point not to look at Lian or the others, though she could feel their eyes still on her, watching her every move.
"You should rest," Mei said after a long silence, her voice soft. "Tomorrow will be a busy day, getting to know everyone and the routines here."
Yn didn’t respond. She wasn’t tired. Not yet. But she knew there was little use in resisting for now. She had to wait for the right moment.
“I will,” Yn finally said, taking a deep breath and glancing around the room again. Her gaze lingered on the small window. If she could find a way out, she would.
Lian stepped forward and gently set a folded robe on the bed. "You’ll need this for tomorrow. Something simple for when you meet with the others. The Emperor prefers it when we look... presentable."
Yn picked up the robe, eyeing it for a moment before tossing it aside carelessly. "I don’t need it," she muttered under her breath.
Lian didn't seem to take offense. She just nodded, a soft understanding in her eyes. "It’s your choice, but the Emperor will expect certain things from you. You’ll learn what they are soon enough."
Yn nodded without speaking, already mentally mapping out her next move. She’d have to be clever, patient, wait for the guards to grow lax in their vigilance. The layout of the palace was already ingrained in her memory, and she knew where the hidden passages and servant tunnels were. She could slip out unnoticed. It wasn’t a matter of if—it was a matter of when.
Mei and Lian lingered for a moment, both silently observing Yn, before Mei spoke, her voice calm. “We’ll leave you for now. But if you need anything... anything at all, let us know.”
Yn gave a small, almost imperceptible nod as they exited, the door clicking shut behind them. The room was silent now, save for the faint hum of the palace at night.
She moved to the window again, pressing her palm to the cool glass, her eyes scanning the courtyard below. Beyond the walls of the palace, there was freedom, and one day, she would reach it. She would escape.
Her fingers curled into a fist, the determination within her solidifying. She had been brought here against her will, but she would not let this be the end of her story. Not now. Not ever.
She turned away from the window, her eyes flicking over the room one last time, before she sank down onto the bed. Tomorrow, she will play the part. But tonight—tonight she would dream of escape.
Yn sat on the edge of the pristine silk-covered bed, her damp hair falling in loose strands around her face. The soft fabric of the robe Lian had given her felt foreign against her skin, far too delicate compared to the worn clothes she’d lived in before. The room was quiet, save for the faint rustle of the curtains as a cool breeze slipped through the slightly ajar window.
Her gaze drifted to that window, moonlight pooling on the floor beneath it. It was small, but not impossible. If she could hoist herself up and slip through, she might land quietly in the courtyard below. The guards rotated shifts around midnight—she’d seen it often enough when sneaking near the palace walls for scraps. If she timed it right, she could be gone before anyone even noticed she was missing.
But the walls. The palace walls were tall and smooth, built to keep people like her out… or in. Her brows furrowed as she leaned back, palms pressing into the plush bedding. Maybe if she could slip into the servant tunnels? They ran like veins through the palace, and the kitchen staff were up before dawn. If she could blend in, steal some plain clothes—
Her thoughts were interrupted by a soft creak from the hallway. Instinctively, her body tensed, ready to fight, to run. But the sound faded, leaving only the weight of silence behind.
With a frustrated sigh, Yn dragged her knees to her chest, wrapping her arms around them. She hated this. The softness. The stillness. It wasn’t hers. She belonged out there, under the stars, with dirt under her nails and freedom in her lungs—not locked away like a doll on display.
Her eyes flicked to the empty shelf meant for gifts. The thought made her stomach turn. She didn’t want silks or jewels. She wanted the streets, the thrill of running barefoot down alleys, the warmth of the sun on her face as she bartered for fruit at the market.
She glanced at the door. Locked, of course. They weren’t stupid.
Her head tipped back against the carved headboard, and she closed her eyes, mind still racing with plans. The window. The tunnels. The guard rotations. There had to be a way.
The moon climbed higher, casting pale light across her face as exhaustion finally began to creep in. Her thoughts slowed, tangled with dreams of scaling walls and slipping past watchful eyes.
Tomorrow. She’d find a way tomorrow.
Sleep claimed her quietly, the last thing on her mind not fear, but defiance.
Tumblr media
The morning sun filtered through the paper screens, casting soft golden patterns across the floor. Yn stirred awake, momentarily disoriented by the softness beneath her. The bed. The silk. The scent of jasmine lingering in the air. Reality crashed down like a wave, and her muscles tensed as she sat up, heart pounding.
Still here.
Before she could plan her next move, a knock sounded at the door, sharp and precise.
"Lady Yn," Lian’s voice called from the other side. "It’s time to rise. We have much to do today."
The door slid open before Yn could answer, and Lian, ever poised and graceful, stepped inside, followed by Mei, who offered a gentler smile. Both were dressed impeccably in pale, flowing robes, their hair twisted into intricate buns adorned with delicate pins.
Yn, by contrast, still wore the robe they’d forced on her the night before. Wrinkled now, slightly askew, but no less suffocating.
"I’m not interested," Yn muttered, swinging her legs over the side of the bed. "Go play palace doll without me."
Lian’s smile didn’t waver, but her eyes sharpened. "You’ll find that disinterest is a luxury you can’t afford here."
Mei stepped forward, her tone softer. "We’re not your enemies, Yn. If you don’t learn the rules, you'll suffer for it. We’ve seen it happen."
Yn met her gaze, reading the sincerity there. Mei looked tired, older than her youthful face should allow, like someone who’d long since accepted her cage but still pitied the new birds thrown into it.
With a reluctant sigh, Yn stood. "Fine. Show me the circus."
The day began in the dressing hall. Rows of concubines, some chatting quietly, others silently enduring the hands of servants as they were preened and polished like ornaments. Lian led Yn to a quieter corner, where a maid waited with brushes and fabrics.
"You’ll be expected to look presentable at all times," Lian explained, arms crossed as she observed the maid combing through Yn's hair. "Even if the Emperor doesn’t call for you, palace officials, visiting nobles—they all watch. A single misstep can cost you everything."
Yn snorted. "Good. Maybe if I mess up enough, they’ll throw me out."
Mei winced. "It’s not exile you’ll face if you offend the wrong person."
The weight of that warning settled like a stone in Yn’s stomach.
After dressing—simple robes, thankfully, nothing too elaborate for a first day—they moved to the outer gardens. Other concubines strolled along stone paths, laughing behind delicate fans, their faces masks of practiced ease. Servants flitted about, tending to blooms and fetching refreshments.
Lian gestured subtly as they walked. "Morning hours are for leisure. Reading, embroidery, music—anything that shows refinement. If you can’t sing, learn. If you can’t play the qin, pretend you’re trying."
Yn eyed a group of women giggling under a willow tree. "And if I’d rather climb that tree?"
Mei actually laughed, earning a sharp look from Lian. "Then you’ll be gossip fodder for weeks. And you’ll stand out. Which is dangerous."
The weight of their words pressed down harder with each passing minute. Meals were formal, conversation measured. Etiquette lessons filled the afternoon—how to bow, how to walk, how to smile without baring teeth.
The soft patter of footsteps faded as Lian and Mei left Yn’s room, their gentle reminders of "Stay out of trouble" and "Don’t wander too far" lingering in the air.
With a quiet huff, she stood, slipping into the simple shoes left by the door. The palace stretched far beyond the concubine quarters, and boredom was a dangerous motivator. If they were going to keep her here, she might as well learn its weaknesses.
The palace was alive with movement, a world within a world. Yn walked slowly through its winding corridors, her bare feet brushing against the cool stone. The scent of incense and fresh jasmine drifted through the air, mixing with the faint aroma of ink and parchment from the nearby study halls.
She had been left alone for the rest of the day—an unusual mercy. Or perhaps an oversight. Either way, she intended to make use of it.
Her eyes flickered over the passing figures, each one a piece of the empire’s grand design.
A group of servants hurried past, carrying trays of steaming food and silken fabrics, their eyes kept low, their movements practiced and precise. She noticed how they barely spoke, only communicating in glances and nods. Their silence was not born from discipline, but from fear. Mistakes in the palace were costly.
Not far from them, a young boy, no older than six, clung to his nurse’s robes. A noble’s child, judging by the embroidered silk of his tunic. His round face was scrunched in frustration, small hands tugging at the woman’s sleeve.
"I don’t want to study!" he whined.
"Hush, young master," the nurse scolded, casting a nervous glance at the guards nearby. "Your father will hear of this."
Yn watched as the boy sulked but followed, disappearing behind a carved wooden screen. A child of power—one already learning that in this palace, obedience meant survival.
She turned a corner and nearly walked into a pair of diplomats, their conversation sharp and clipped. They wore the colors of rival regions, their voices laced with careful politeness.
"The Emperor’s patience is not infinite," one murmured.
"Neither is his rule," the other countered, though more softly.
Yn kept walking, pretending not to hear. Politics were not her concern. Escape was.
Ahead, a line of imperial guards stood at attention, their polished armor gleaming in the morning light. They were like statues, barely breathing, eyes forward, unreadable. She had fought against these men only days ago—biting, kicking, drawing blood. Now they barely acknowledged her presence.
Except for one.
A guard slightly older than the rest exhaled sharply when he saw her, as if already exhausted. His grip on his spear tightened.
She gave him a slow, mocking smile. Yes, poor man, I am still here.
Beyond the guards, the world opened up into a sprawling courtyard. Flowers bloomed in careful, deliberate patterns, a beauty too precise to be natural. Stone paths wove between koi ponds and carved gazebos, a paradise designed for those who would never leave.
Like me, she thought bitterly.
And yet, even within this gilded prison, there were cracks in the design. Routes the architects had not accounted for. Shadows where the watchful eyes of the palace did not linger.
Yn strolled forward, fingers brushing the soft petals of a peony, gaze flickering towards the high walls beyond.
She was learning. Observing.
Soon, she would find her way out.
The hallways were eerily empty. Most concubines were busy with their scheduled activities—embroidering flowers they'd never wear, practicing music for ears that rarely listened. Servants flitted by, their gazes sliding off her like she was just another ornament.
Yn moved quietly, brushing past the polished wooden pillars and delicate silk curtains that separated one lavish section from the next. Her eyes darted, not for beauty but for opportunity.
A cracked window. A loose panel. A hallway too dimly lit for prying eyes.
There has to be a way out.
But her thoughts were interrupted by a soft chattering sound—tiny, insistent meows.
Curious, Yn followed the noise, slipping past a side entrance that led to one of the quieter palace gardens. It was less manicured than the grand courtyards, more wild and forgotten. That explained the strays.
Three cats lounged under the shade of a crooked plum tree. One, a scruffy ginger with torn ears, stretched lazily. Another, sleek and black, watched her warily from a distance. But the third—a small gray tabby with bright, mischievous eyes—trotted right up to her, tail high.
Yn knelt, hand outstretched. "Well, aren’t you brave?"
The tabby sniffed her fingers before nudging its head against her palm, purring loudly.
A flash of green caught her eye. Close to the edge of the garden, half-hidden among the weeds, catnip grew wild and untamed. She grinned.
"Of course. That’s why you're so friendly."
Yn plucked a few sprigs and rubbed them between her fingers, letting the scent bloom. Within moments, the ginger stray perked up, sauntering over with a curious rumble. Even the black cat crept closer, cautious but intrigued.
Before long, she was surrounded. Cats flopped beside her, rolling and purring, content under her gentle touch.
For the first time since being dragged into this gilded prison, Yn felt something other than anger or exhaustion.
Peace.
Soft fur under her fingers. The sun warming her back. No guards. No silk-clad concubines whispering behind fans. Just her and these little survivors, thriving in the cracks of the palace's perfection.
A tabby paw batted at her sleeve, and she laughed quietly.
"Guess we’re all strays here, huh?"
But as the sun dipped lower, shadows stretching long across the ground, reality crept back in. She couldn’t stay here forever.
With a reluctant sigh, Yn stood, brushing dust from her robe. The cats blinked up at her, content and drowsy.
"Don't get too comfortable," she murmured, gaze drifting toward the high walls in the distance. "Next time, I’m not coming back."
And with that, she slipped away, the scent of catnip still clinging to her fingertips.
The sun hung lazily in the sky as Yn wandered further than she should have. The palace grounds were vast, and after her morning spent with the strays, she’d pocketed a few sprigs of catnip—just in case. Not like she had much else to entertain herself with.
The courtyard near the emperor’s private quarters was quieter than the rest. Too quiet. It should’ve been her first warning.
Her second came when the stray she'd been trailing—a scrawny thing with patchy fur—bolted like its tail was on fire.
Yn barely had time to register the low rumble vibrating through the air before a flash of white and black fur cut across her path.
A tiger.
Not just any tiger—Huāng Xie, the emperor’s infamous beast.
For a moment, time froze. The tiger, muscles coiled, stood at the top of the stone steps leading to the courtyard. Its golden eyes locked onto her.
Her foot caught on an uneven tile, and she went down hard, palms scraping against the ground.
The catnip.
The crushed leaves tumbled from her pocket, releasing their sharp, minty scent into the air.
The palace guards stationed nearby froze, hands flying to their weapons. One servant shrieked and darted behind a pillar.
"She's dead," someone whispered.
Even the concubines watching from the shaded walkway stood wide-eyed, fans forgotten in their trembling hands.
Yn didn’t move. Heart pounding in her ears, she slowly lifted her gaze to the tiger, now prowling toward her, each step deliberate and soundless.
Well, she thought grimly, at least it won’t be boredom that kills me.
Huāng Xie paused a breath away from her sprawled form, nose twitching.
Then, to everyone’s horror, the massive predator leaned down—
—and purred.
Deep, rumbling, content. Like thunder softened by silk.
The tiger’s wide head bumped against her shoulder, almost knocking her flat again. Yn barely had time to blink before it flopped down beside her, tail flicking lazily.
It wanted belly rubs.
The silence was deafening.
From the balcony above, Zhéyàn stood, arms crossed, golden eyes sharp with disbelief—and, if one looked closely enough, amusement.
One of the guards finally found his voice. "Is… is it broken?"
Another guard hissed, "Shut up! Do you want it to remember it's a tiger?!"
Yn, thoroughly stunned, stared at the giant feline now rolling half onto its back, head resting comfortably on her lap. The crushed catnip lay scattered around her like an offering.
"You're not very good at being a tiger, you know," she muttered, hesitantly scratching behind its ears.
Huāng Xie purred louder, tail thumping against the stone.
Zhéyàn, still watching from above, chuckled under his breath. Interesting.
He turned to the steward beside him, whose face had gone pale.
The emperor ordered, lips curling into a lazy smile. "I’d like to meet the woman who tamed my tiger."
Yn, oblivious to the new attention, sighed and pushed at Huāng Xie’s massive head.
"Get off me, you overgrown house cat. I'm trying to escape here."

Yan Emperor
(Twelfth Official Post)
(Duke’s name is Isaiah Hartfeld)
(This one might be a bit muddled, but I tried my best.)
(Emperor’s name is Adonis Margold)
(this one focuses on the Emperor, part two should focus on the Duke)
     The Duke, Isaiah Hartfeld, was well known for being a promiscuous womanizer and he often caused an uproar in society. Which is what prompted the Emperor to marry Isaiah off to someone that would whip him into shape, you. You were a well known person throughout all social circles, you were the head of you family and you didn’t let anyone push you around. Of course, when the emperor first proposed such an idea you immediately shut it down. You didn’t explain why, but you did say that nothing in this world would ever make you change your mind. So, he decides to offer you something out of this world, something only he can give you.
     The Emperor greets you as you enter the throne room, a sly smile on his tanned face. “Ah, Good Morrow, my dear friend, how are you this lovely evening?” He descends from his throne, his boots click against the marble floor. He holds a gloves hand out and waits for you the greet him, you reluctantly grab hold of his hand with one of your own gloved hands. (Gloves are very popular around here) You place a respectful kiss on his knuckles (which, of course, causes the Emperor to smile) and then let go of his hand (which causes the emperor’s smile to fall).
      “I am doing no better than any other day, why did you call me here, Your majesty?” You respond with an air of formality and familiarity. The Emperor frowns, finding your formality unnecessary. “Come now, my dear subject, formality is not necessary. We’re practically family!” He says with a grin on his face and wink of his eyes, you, however, are confused. But you just nod your head and let him say what he wants. He waits for your response, but his joy diminishes with each second of silence.
     He clears his throat and pats your shoulders. “I see you’re in no mood for small talk, so I suppose I should just get to the point.” He forces a smile on his face and places his hands on your shoulders, he chooses to ignore the way you lean away from him. “I’ve decided that you shall marry Duke Hartfeld.” Your eyes widen and you’re about to disagree when the Emperor interrupts you. “Ah, Ah, Ah, I already know what you’re about to say, but trust me, you do not want to reject this deal.” He leads you to a nearby chair, which seems to have been placed just for you, and sits you down. He kneels, on one knee, in front of you.  “Your majesty! What are you doing?!” You exclaim, finding his behavior strange. He brushes off your worries and continues speaking.
     “Listen, [Y/N], I know you aren’t from this country and I know you want to go home. So, if you marry the Duke and straighten him up, then I’ll take you home.” Your expression shifts from disbelief to doubt, how would the Emperor send you home, and how does he know you aren’t from here? Unless, by home, he means returning you to your country. Which would make more sense, because you were a prisoner of war when you first came to this country. Now, you’re a high ranking general and commanding an army, you can’t help but be proud of yourself. “What on Ilasatra do you mean?” (Ilasatra is the equivalent of earth in this world.) You ask him, a frown developing on your face.
    The Emperor smirks and brushes your hair back, then he stands up and begins to circle your chair. He stands behind you and leans his head down to whisper into your ears. “You know exactly what I mean.” He purrs, placing his hand on your shoulder and caressing it, which causes you to lean away from him. He touches you far too much, it makes you very uncomfortable. Your breath catches in your throat and you can’t help the hope that claws its way to your heart. “You can send me home?” You mutter, turning to face him and your gaze catch his. There’s such a hopeful look in your eyes, he smirks, it amuses him and then his eyes are caught by your lips. Oh, how he wishes to love you, but you would be of better use whipping the Duke into shape. 
    He clears his throat and drags his gaze away from yours, he resumes his previous action of circling your chair. His hand trails down your arm and causes goose bumps on your skin (because you’re uncomfortable). “Yes, I could get you home, but only if you do something for me first.” His tone is quite mysterious, he seems to know something you don’t. “It will be worth it, I promise.”  His hand entangles itself with yours, you pull away and he reluctantly lets you go. 
     You contemplate his words, your brows furrowed and you wipe your hand on your coat (which, of course, causes him to chuckle). You hesitantly agree, knowing that making a deal with the emperor is a bad idea. “Very well then, Your Majesty, I trust you.” His heart flutters when you admit to trusting him, he didn’t know those words could have such a pleasant affect on him. He smiles and yanks you out of your chair, he then places both his hands on your shoulders. “That’s wonderful, [Y/N], I knew you wouldn’t let me down.” He traps you in a tight hug, despite how uncomfortable it makes you (and it makes you very uncomfortable).
      You struggle somewhat to escape his grip, eventually giving up and letting him hold you as long as he wished. He sighs, his mind awash with loving images of you and him together. He knows it will never happen, but he surely can dream about it. You’re pretty sure he was sniffing your hair and that was your sign to escape the hug, so you stepped on his foot and then backed away from him. His pained groans are muffled by his hand and he tries not to scream, he forgot how sharp your boots were. “Ah, my dear, that was quite rude of you, but I’ll forgive you, just don’t do it again.” He warns you with a rather playful tone, even waggles his finger at you, but the threat is real. You frown and shuffle away from him. 
     He tsks and drags you back to him, although he does have to fight as you dig your heels into the marble flooring. “Come now, dear, I won’t hurt you. Don’t you want to know what I need from you?” His smile tightens as he struggles, he didn’t expect you to be so strong. He chuckles nervously, he even sweats a bit (which irritates him because he absolutely despises sweating). He lets go of you, causing you to stumble back yet you retain your balance. “Okay, you just stay there and I’ll explain the deal to you, alright?” You nod your head and he claps his hands together. His smile grows and his tone shifts from agitated to cheery. “Wonderful! My dear, do you know who Duke Hartfeld is?” You nod again, then verbally respond. “Yes, I’ve heard rumors about him.”
     Actually, you’ve heard many rumors, all of them attest to his hedonistic lifestyle. You don’t like him very much, you absolutely despise him. The Emperor smiles again, he smiles a lot, and walks towards you. “Great, I want you to marry him-“ You gasp in shock and then interrupt him, because there is no way in Natiscle (Natiscle is the equivalent of hell in this world.) that you’re going to marry that worthless wrench of a man. “Oh, like Natiscle I will marry that man! I wouldn’t marry him if he were the last man on Ilasatra!” You exclaim loudly, the servants in the room startled by your behavior. The Emperor is amused by your response, he chuckles and feels himself growing fonder of you with each word that escapes your mouth.
     “Oh, Baiyases, (Baiyas is the equivalent of heaven in this world, so Baiyases is the equivalent of heavens.) now dear, you shouldn’t overreact. He really isn’t all that bad, if you ignore his faults and he won’t be any trouble if you smack him around a bit.” The Emperor does not like the Duke, at all, and neither do you. But you could never smack Duke Hartfeld around, he’s so weak and it’s not like he’s a criminal. “Oh, no, I couldn’t do that. It wouldn’t be right.” She responds causing him to rolls his eyes and scoffs. “Oh, please [Y/N], you’ve dealt with far more reputable enemies than that old Duke.” You cringe when he mentions your past, as a general you’ve had to take down many people and you hate being reminded of that. Also, the Duke Isn’t that old, he’s actually younger than you. Which might explain his promiscuity, they say, that is the noble women say, that young man are very adventurous, and often have trouble committing to a relationship. 
     You sigh, a frown etching its way onto your face. You look away from the Emperor, which causes you to miss his frown, and then think about his offer. You don’t want to marry that wretched Duke, but the Emperor says he can send you home and you really do want to go home. You sigh again and massage your temple. “Okay, I’ll do it, but you have to promise you’ll send me home right after. I don’t want to stay with him any longer than necessary.” You fold your hands together and tug at your gloves. The Emperor smiles once he hears you accept his request and he can’t help but hug you again. “Oh, thank you so much, my dear! All I need you to do is whip him into shape and then you can leave, okay?” 
      You nod, then wriggle your way out of his hold. This time the Emperor doesn’t frown, he seems happy to have heard you agree to his favor. “How long do I have to be married to him?” You ask, causing him to tilt his head and pretend to think. “Oh, perhaps two or three years. That’s not too long, is it?” You groan, just a week around that Duke is too much. You couldn’t fathom spending two years with him, let alone three. The Emperor chuckles upon seeing your disgusted face, he takes joy in knowing that you despise the Duke just as much as he does. “Is that alright, dear? Surely you could handle two, or three, years with the Duke? After all, you’re a very strong person, the Duke couldn’t be much worse than those on the battlefield, right?” 
     You frown again once the Emperor brings up your past, he sure likes to do that. You sigh, roll your eyes and cross your arms. “I can’t do two years, but I’ll do one year.” The Emperor tilts his head, amused and intrigued by your behavior. Not many nobles would have the gall to negotiate with the Emperor, that’s why your his favorite subject. “Hm, a year and half.” He says, which causes you to glare at him, then speak again. “No, one year and three months.” The Emperor exhales and his eyes narrow, he’s becoming irritated with your boldness. “A year and two weeks.” He responds, you consider his offer, then nod your head. “Fine, a year and two weeks, but no more.” He smiles, quite happy now that you’ve agreed with him. “Wonderful, oh, I can’t wait for the ceremony!” (Although, he would rather you marry him, but oh well, such is life) He claps his hands together and kisses your cheek, as a way to share his congratulations, but it just made you uncomfortable.
———————————————————————
Bonus Scenes:
You: “Do you really think me strong?” Not many nobles admire your strength, they believe you should fit into a certain mold, and it’s rather frustrating.
The Emperor: He places his hand son your shoulders, a flirtatious smirk on his face. “Why of course, darling! You are so very strong, the strongest person I’ve ever met..” He purrs, his hands trailing down your arms.
You: You puff out your chest upon hearing the Emperor compliment your strength. “Hmph, that’s right, I’m the strongest person around.” 
The Emperor: He chuckles, amused by your behavior. He thinks you’re absolutely adorable, he’ll do anything if it means having you next to him.
——————————————
(Hope you enjoyed this fan fiction, this one was a bit longer than most of my other written works. Regardless, I hope you enjoy it and please leave a comment if you want more.)
(This is just part one, it focuses more on the Emperor than the Duke, but don’t worry the Duke will have his turn soon enough!)
(this took hours and days to make, mostly because I procrastinated, but at least it’s done. This is part one, part two will, hopefully, focus on the Duke.)

Oh, I will ruin you.

Reader failed escape headcanons (romantic) Summary: Even while being an offering of peace, you're still mistreated by the emperor Content warnings: unhealthy power dynamic, unhealthy relationship, unhealthy ideas of masculinity, I do not support the relationships in this, do not seek out love like this. Word count: 1.1k AI was not used to make this. Do not use to make or for ai. Welcome board Request rules Yandere emperor masterlist
-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-
Nerva always seeks power, whether that’s over people, the senate, or his lovers. Any form of dominance is important to him. His father always had it, so he knows it’s important. His favorite is over the people. The empire thrives off military power, which is why invasions are so common. So, more people, more power over others. 
A rather recent battle against another empire, almost ending in a victory. Almost. The emperor of the quickly losing nation welcomed himself to Nerva, giving a sacrifice in return for peace between the empires. A son. A boy Nerva’s age. 
“What could I want with him?” Nerva laughed, glowering down at the withering man before him. The man trembling, whether from fear or old age didn’t matter. He brought his hands out to the young man, motioning to him like the people did, like he was a god. 
“A boy is still valuable. You must keep him alive, safe. Marriage, worker, a concubine, it doesn’t matter. He must stay alive and live well, my boy must,” the man explained, his palms up to the sky, like the boy was in his palm. 
“Your son?” Nerva specified, grinning at the thought. “I must hope he has his mother’s looks; you aren’t much of a sight.” 
The mockery grew too much for him, bringing the man to his feet. “You take the offer, and we will know peace!” The man exclaimed, his accent thickening as his mind unraveled before the emperor. Nerva looked him over again, then drew his eyes up to the throne room. A boy stood at the end of the hall, lavish pieces adorning his wrists, neck, and fingers. 
Nerva straightened himself, turning away as if in thought, not wanting his sudden change of heart noticed. “Alright,” he stated, “I’ll take the boy.” 
The time spent with Nerva isn’t that fun, truthfully. He spends his time watching violent games, laying in the sun while eating fruit, and listening to music. He’s a man that uses every drop of his wealth. During those times, you’ll be beside him. Whatever odd spirit encompassed Nerva made him want you entertained. You’ll sit beside him during the games, under the same sun with the same fruits between your lips, and the listen to the same music. It’s because he’s made a deal, that’s it! You must live well, so he’s making sure that’s true. 
The position you hold is a jumble, he treats you like a worker, expecting you to serve him as anyone else does but you’re a husband too. He hates that you’re around with your odd practices and stupid ideas but wants you to sleep in the same bed as him. Nerva will take his anger out on you but refuse the idea of getting rid of you and lying to the old man. 
Nerva will also compare himself to you, your figure compared to his, whether you’re in better shape than him doesn’t matter. Your figure is made with love, unlike his. Your ability to grow facial hair is another. In his mind, men grow facial hair, so that’s a part of his masculinity. It’s random things that don’t always fit into “what a man should be”. It’s the worst when you both bathe. Traditionally, he’s the one watching over you, looking over your form with blank jealousy. 
The envy turns into violence and possessiveness. Nerva will spend more time taking care of himself and finding ways to “prove” he’s still superior to you. His love for gold will shine through the most, his arms wrapped in gold bands, fingers with rings, and clothes with thin gold strings. Another way to prove he’s superior is by taking his anger out on you. Nerva will yell and scream about how little you are compared to him, a bribe, an offer for peace. 
Possessiveness towards you is specifically keeping you in the palace as much as possible, covering you in thick sheets of white, little to no gold, simply the ring on your left hand that had been Nerva’s. His least favorite ring. 
That anger turns terrible when he threatened to murder you, and he almost did. Nerva had taken one of the bread knives found in his lounge and got a couple cuts on your chest and arm before you got to one of the bathrooms. That night, you left the palace, leaving on one of the horses. When it had tuckered out, you still ran, like the champions in Nerva’s favorite games. You didn’t even make it past the border before you were found again. 
You spent months in that little cell, the one far below the earth and at the farthest end of the hall. It’s so far that someone standing at the door leading to the throne room wouldn’t hear you cry. Nerva would rarely see you, of course, that’s more of a blessing. You don’t want to see him. Why would you like him at all? 
It was four months after you tried escaping that he finally visited you. Your white robes had started turning grey and fraying around the edges, the leather of your shoes decaying on your feet. Nerva sat on the stone “bed”, dressed in his usual gold jewelry and yellow robes. 
Nerva heard your cries, your retched screams of hatred that filled your entire body. He ignored it for all four months, but it got annoying the first night of the fourth month. He made his way down the steps, down the line of cells to the last one, yours. 
“I have been nothing but kind to you, haven’t I?!” He scoffed, tilting his head as if his affection was obvious. You stood in the far corner of the cell, your body tense with confusion and fear. 
“Kind? I left because you tried stabbing me,” you retort and press yourself back against the wall. “I have hated many things, but I know you’re the worst of them all!” 
The simple statement turned Nerva’s expression blank. “You can’t go back,” he stated, standing from the stone ledge. “They won’t want anything with you. Did they not tell you? If you go back, you’ll start a war. It’s so simple that your people will be dead.” 
That night was one of the worst. You spent that night in his arms, thrashing as he cut at your flesh, cutting the tendons in your ankles and knees. Nerva offered no words of comfort. He constantly told you to “man up” and take it. He cut at the flesh he most despised. 
Even in one of the violent moments, Nerva still spends his time jealous of you.

I want to draw this but idk how to draw nsfw plus, busy, so here is a list of ideas, also I’ve been following @weebsinstash for awhile and I just think you’d be into this :)
Your dearest friend (and co worker) confesses that she’s the main heroine of this world, she got randomly sent here from her world, in her world this place is a romance game. She says regardless of if you believed her she was telling you the truth and-
You nodded yes, and not because you were a loyal side character, but bc you knew. After her confession you get a flood of memories of a different world, and a detailed retailing of the world you’re in.
Your friend, though she is bland by design, she is radiant and an unforgettable presence, despite not being able to remember her face even after just facing her.
The story, about an emperor with a curse. The entire castle keeps the secret, all families have been working there since the empire was first founded. Cult like loyal to their (admittedly really competent) emperor
Your friend, what was her name again? No- that’s not the point. Her goal, the goal of the game, was to tame the emperor's curse by existing, something no one had ever been able to do.
Face multiple challenges like the jealous empress, make your way through the fanatical loyalists and get closer to the emperor. Rise from empress’s handmaiden, to imperial consort, to empress herself!
Your friend whispers to you that she can tame the beast that prowls though the castle at night, and that she’s going to soon.
(The emperor becomes extremely aggressive with sharp claws yada yada, unfortunately no monster fucking this time tho)
But when that night arrives, she fails. You find her corpse before anyone else does. This wasn’t what was supposed to happen, she was supposed too- her body was collected and buried and it was almost like she never existed. Not that she didn’t have family, but like a spell the mysterium of the heroine fades away seemingly with no impact, she was just another victim of the beast.
With a new sense of fear, and with new memories, no loyalty to this empire, you were hatching a plan to leave. The night you were scouting out a path, with the excuse of chores on the night shift, you run into the beast. He was supposed to be chained up?!?
you are tackled to the ground, the emperor is on top of you. Opening your eyes you see him nuzzling your neck, shallow breaths fanning across you. You panic, this was supposed to happen to your friend not you. You can predict it now, he’ll turn into like a lap dog how embarrassing-
RIIIIIIIIIIIP- suddenly he rips your bodice down the middle, exposing your breasts to the cold air.
————
You try to avoid it but he keeps hunting you down and mounting you.
One night you hide away in the deepest parts of the castle, since you had been searching for a place to hide all day (and the beast fucked you all night) you fall asleep
Waking up to a gentle rocking it takes you a minute to process that you were now under him taking his cock
Then on one of the nights he does it in front of servants and they tell the empress who then calls you into her office, reader who is already planning to leave is scared you’re gonna get executed
The empress tells you that this is your job now, using your body to ‘tame’ the emperor bc there has been no incidents otherwise
This is a complete 180 to the empress from the game. She also insists that the emperor cannot know that he’s fucking you every night, as he is a decent man and he’d feel guilty, and to prevent you from getting pregnant she will supply you with potions to prevent that. And there is no other choice (not said but heavily implied) Now you are being treated as the unofficial concubine which the empress seems to dote on, your official title is the empress’s handmaiden/confidant
It is later revealed to you as you unwillingly get closer to the empress that though she loves the emperor (they grew up together) she doesn’t really care for sex (either cuz she’s lesbian or just ace) and once she got pregnant with their heir, their sex life basically stopped, tho they didn’t have an actual conversation, the emperor could tell she wasn’t into it and didn’t push her
Bonus points if she’s telling you about what a good man/husband he is for not pushing her/making her take care of his needs like that while he rearranges your guts.
Later later you find out that the emperor realized what was going on, but since it prevented him from hurting anyone he went along with it. And now since you’re so close to the empress, both of them start to fall and become yandere and now you have the most powerful couple who want you for themselves ❤️
Also, quick idea for an ending, he starts regaining control of himself as basically his and the beast’s goals become the same, and he starts loving on the reader even before nightfall and so the two personalities begin to blend and he’s cured! How wonderful! But now you’re the official concubine congrats! What? You don’t want it? Too bad! They want you! Also good luck making it out of the castle as everyone their views you as the emperor’s saviour.

Unimportant Little Thoughts
Reader: Gender Neutral
Characters: The Emperor (Gender Neutral), Caspian (Male)
cw: Implied brainwashing, trained dependency ig, plenty of stockholm, yandere as always, unreliable narrator, angst lmao
===
You looked off into the distant horizon where the sun was starting to set and painted the skies in different beautiful shades and hues. Orange, like the Emperor’s piercing eyes that always gazed at you. Red, like the Emperor’s majestic robes that felt soft and silky to your touch every time Their Majesty pulled you into their arms. Yellow, like the gold accessories the Emperor adorned on their body and subsequently, to you. Blue, like the Emperor’s hair that they let you comb your fingers through whenever they lay on your lap. Violet, like Ċ̸͍͕̰́α̶̛̗̤͚̮͗́͒ ̴̗̪̎̓̊́ś̷͔͉̩͉ ̶̭̠͗̓ῤ̸͇̤í̸̮͎̜̑̃̅̏ª̷̞̼͚̉η̷̩͔̈́’s eyes–
You paused for a moment, tilting your head. Whose eyes…?
“...” 
The ground trembles from underneath you, tremors breaking out from time to time and yet you sit still in the chair in the room the Emperor commanded you to stay. The chair was comfy to sit on. The cushion was plentiful so that no one would get tired from sitting on it all day and the wooden veneer of the chair’s frame was an exquisite piece of work that was made by only the most well-known artisan. You’d know it because this was the chair the Emperor uses when they do office work. And where you currently were was inside the Emperor’s office.
Wait a minute… You were thinking of something earlier, weren’t you? Yes, the color violet was… was the color of royalty! Like the Emperor’s powerful lineage that has ruled through the empire for generations.
You missed the Emperor… Granted, they’d only been gone for a few minutes now.
You looked out the windows once more and sighed as the colors reminded you of the Emperor. You wanted (ň̴̞o̵̫̒ ̸͖̂y̶̯̑o̵̖̊ũ̷̧ ̸̱̀c̴̬̅a̶̩̚n̵̕͜'̶̹̑ẗ̷̜́) needed to go look for them but they had already ordered you to stay and the Emperor’s orders were always absolute. You lived for the Emperor and their will was yours, as well.
The ground shakes once more, albeit a bit stronger and closer to your location this time. And yet you still sat on the chair as if it had nothing to do with you. Fear and anxiety wasn’t a worry. Whatever trouble there was outside the very room you were in right now, you were sure the Emperor would swiftly deal with it.
You could hear faint screams outside the door behind you but that wasn’t of any worry to you. Nothing else mattered. No one else mattered. You waited for the Emperor patiently. Patiently…
Slam!
“...!” Hm? Did someone call your name? That’s funny. No one ever called your name aside from the Emperor. You don’t know why but the maids, the butlers, the workers, the guards, everyone… None of them called you by your name or even acknowledged you existed. Whenever you were around, they would always have their heads down as if they were afraid. You wondered what they were afraid of…
Your eyes widened as someone grasped your shoulder and forcefully turned you around to face them. The chair you had been sitting on was pushed back and fell on the ground, clattering loudly. You frowned, upset that someone would be so careless as to treat Their Majesty’s items like that but just as you finally got a clear look at the intruder, you stopped in your tracks.
Violet eyes… Violet…v̴͍́i̵̹̾ö̸̰l̶͉͗e̷͕͒t̷̥̀v̶̫͝i̸̠̾o̷̲̎l̷̪͒e̷͖̒ț̷̄v̷̟͆i̵̛̤o̵̠͝l̸̩̆ĕ̷̬t̶̛͜v̸̞̏i̶̳͋ơ̷͍l̷̜̓ḙ̶͛t̸̮͒v̶̠̂î̸̺o̴̝̅ļ̴̏ẹ̶͝t̶͓̄v̷̞͝ǐ̸͎ö̴͎́l̸̟͑e̶͈̚t̷̬̔v̶̩̓i̶͓̊ǒ̷͕l̴͙̈́ẹ̷̕t̶̪͆v̷̰͝ĩ̶̦o̶̰͐l̴̮̃ê̸̦ț̶͆t̷̹̑ĥ̷̙o̴̰͌š̶̥e̸̡͋h̴̛̖u̶̯͝r̶̫͌t̷̨͂f̴̰̀ů̵̦l̸͉̄e̶̠̓y̴̘̽ĕ̸̳s̶̠̆–
“You aren’t supposed to be here without any permission, you know?” You wistfully said after a few moments, looking at the hand on your shoulder. You contemplated whether to slap it away or something. No one was allowed to touch you but the Emperor, after all. Oddly enough, you seemed to have the urge to punch the person in front of you but you doubt that would be a nice idea seeing the drawn sword at the stranger’s other hand.
The stranger’s eyes looked at you with this… weird expression? You don’t know how to explain it but it was like they were searching through your expression, trying to find something. His eyes took on a wet sheen as he opened his mouth.
“H-Hey…” His unfamiliar voice shook, which you found odd since he didn't look like the type to be shaken up after beating up the guards that had been guarding the door. You looked past him, looking down at the guards groaning in pain on the floor that still hadn’t recovered and then at the broken door. “You… You remember me, r-right?” The man continued, almost begging.
“I don’t know you.” Was  your immediate answer as you looked back at him. What you said looked like it hurt him as he flinched and finally let go of your shoulders. “You know, if you’re trying to find treasures, you have to look on the other side of the palace. I doubt you could get in the treasury easily, though.”
The man looked frustrated as he grabbed his hair. “I’m not here to steal! I’m here to save you!”
You frowned, confused. What he said made no sense. If he wasn’t a thief then what reason would he supposedly ‘save’ you for? It’s not like you were in danger and it wasn't like you would be put in danger. The Emperor always took such good care of you and protected you.
“What for? If you’ve heard rumors about me then I doubt any of it’s true. As you can see, I’m living quite graciously under the Emperor’s kindness.”
The man grabbed your wrist, not that hard to hurt you but enough that you would have trouble getting away. “You were held here against your will for years!”
You were beginning to get angry. Not only did you already have the urge to punch the lights out of this person but insinuating that the Emperor was holding you against your will was just insulting!
You snapped back at him. “And I told you, those rumors are meaningless! Why won’t you listen to me?!”
Just then, a familiar voice rang out from the door. 
“Indeed. Why won’t you listen to them, you filthy little rat?” The Emperor stood there, bloody sword in hand, orange eyes blazing dangerously. “Barging into my house, daring to covet what’s mine…”
“My dear,” The Emperor said without looking at you. You know they were referring to you because they wouldn’t call anyone else by such a sweet nickname. “Kill him.”
Suddenly, as if a switch had been flipped, you lunged at the stranger with a dagger in hand and aimed for his heart. The dagger had always been hidden on your person at all times. It was a gift from the Emperor in case you had to kill someone who was either a threat to you or the Emperor. You wouldn’t be a good subject now if you couldn’t even protect the Emperor and yourself from nearby threats, would you?
Unfortunately, the guy lived as he escaped, letting go of your wrist and putting some distance between the two of you. “What–?!”
Still, you followed after him, rapidly closing the distance between the two of you and tried to pierce his neck but he finally seemed to manage to regain his wits with him and used his sword to block your dagger. It was scary how you weren’t even hesitating once the Emperor commanded you. Your eyes were entirely focused on the man, intent on taking advantage of any weakness you could find just to kill him. You were looking at him as nothing more than a prey– someone to be butchered and killed because of the Emperor’s command.
With every thrusts and slashes you made with the weapon, all the man did was block or dodge your attacks. He never retaliated but he seemed to have noticed you were gradually pushing him back towards the Emperor’s direction. Seeing that he was obviously overpowered should that sadistic Emperor join in the frey, he grit his teeth and looked at you.
“I’m… I’m sorry…” He said, his words full of meaning and yet it was somehow enough to make you pause in your action. Something inside your chest started to hurt. You don’t know what it was but it was getting so uncomfortable and searing like ants crawling all over your chest and taking pieces of you bit by bit.
This hesitation was enough for the man to find an opening in your stance and he kicked you on the stomach, sending you skidding across the floor, and then ran towards the window.
You hacked and coughed as you tried to regain your bearings. Pushing yourself up from the floor as you hold your stomach, you stared in disbelief as the man jumped out the window. And just like that, he was gone. 
“Y-Your Highness! ! My apo-apologies! I let the man get away!” And yet all that was in your mind was your failure to do as their Highness’ command. You looked desperately at the Emperor, fear swirling in your eyes. Fear of failing them. Fear of them finding you useless. Fear of being abandoned.
Their Majesty walked over to you, footsteps ringing loudly against the room. Your body started to shiver, eyes shaking as your mind ran millions of thoughts of what punishment the Emperor would give you. You could accept any kind of punishment as long as they never abandoned you. You would take it no matter how painful it was as long as you could be by your side. As long as they still allowed you to be by their side.
And yet they never did any of that, as kind and generous as they always were to you. The way they held your chin was soft and gentle, treating you as if you were made of porcelain. 
“It’s alright, my beloved. Why look so grim?” They whispered as they tilted your face so you could look at them. “That filthy rat was a traitorous man and your mind need not be tainted with him. He and his… rebellious group had managed to infiltrate the palace but they’ve all been dealt with now.” 
You looked hesitant, eyes drifting towards the window. You agreed. That man was indeed a ‘traitor’ but it was… different. “If… If I may be so bold, your Highness… May I ask who that… rebel was?”
“...” The Emperor just smiled but something about it felt too controlled… Too fake that it made you jump slightly and want to look away…
However you couldn’t as they helped you up and held you by your waist to support you. “You don’t need to know soon-to-be-dead people’s names, my dear. So forget about him and just keep thinking about me, alright?” They tilted your head again, gently and firmly so that you would only look at him and nowhere else. “Yes?” They urged.
“...” The expression on your face softened, your shoulders slumping down. The Emperor was right. Just thinking about that stranger was just making you feel all kinds of bad stuff in your chest that it was suffocating you. It was better not to think about him at all and just focus on the person who was truly much more important to you. 
“O…Okay, your Highness…”
As if pleased by your obedience, the Emperor let out a chuckle. A genuine one this time, and let your chin go. They pull you closer by their side, hand snaking over and around your waist as they nuzzle your neck. 
“Mmm, what did I tell you before to call me, my dear?”
Their lips tickled your neck and you try not to wiggle too much in their hold. “A-Alright, d…darling…” You shyly said.
Meanwhile, as the last of the sun’s light disappeared over the horizon, Caspian never stopped running. He knew that the Emperor wouldn’t let him escape that easily. He was being followed, he knows, and he can’t afford to stop right now.
“Fuck! Damn it! Why?!” He cursed under his breath, eyes tearing up as he remembered the unfamiliar look you gave him when he saw you. “Why? Why? Just why do I fucking mess everything up?!”
But he won’t give up on you, no. He’ll be back to free you from the Emperor’s grasp. To save you and make amends for his gravest mistake…
He'll be back...
“C-Caspian…?” You said, looking up at your friend as you were held down on the floor by the tyrannical emperor’s subordinates. Your eyes shook as you looked at the violet-eyed man in front of you. “H…Hey, t-this is a j-joke, right?” Your eyes teared up, voice turning shaky at the thought of being betrayed by someone you trusted. Surely he wouldn’t betray you, right? He didn’t lead you into this trap for no reason, right? He wouldn’t just hand you over to the mad, obsessive emperor like this, right? He had a plan to let the two of you escape from here, right? Right?!
Except, he just looked down at you with cold eyes. As if the years you spent together didn’t mean anything to him anymore. As if both your cause didn’t matter anymore.
“Sorry about this bud but we’re all just trying to get by in life, alright?” He said, leaning back on his chair in a relaxed and calm manner. “I get a promotion and become a royal guard and you’ll become the Emperor’s assistant or something. I’m sure they won’t treat you badly if they’re willing to grant anything just to bring you to them unharmed, yeah?”
You started to struggle as the guards began to pull you away. “No! You don’t understand what that tyrant’s like, Caspian!” By now, the tears were already falling down your face. “You don’t understand what kind of monster’s hiding under their mask!”
And yet he doesn’t listen to you anymore, turning away as you were pulled away.
“C-Caspian! Please! Caspian! Help me!” You screamed, but he doesn’t look at you anymore. “Caspian! CASPIAN…!”
And from point in your life there was nothing but pain… pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, p̵̬̞̒̄a̶̢͊î̶̧̍n̷̙̪͊͝,̴̤́ ̴̩͊p̶͚̜̆̃ȧ̸͉í̸̠̳̊n̵̹͑͆,̶̪̉͝ ̵̻̃p̷̰̉̄ä̵͙̞́i̵̢̬̽n̵͍̭͗͐,̷̹̼͑̈́ ̶̣̦̆p̷̞̆͆a̴̢͙̿̔i̵̭̪̋ņ̸͍̕,̸̻̹͗̓ ̶̡̞̐͛p̴̖̥͆a̷͉̿ī̸͖̈n̵͚͠,̶͉̿ ̴̡̓p̴̛͉͝a̸̢̠͌͒ḭ̷̛́ṉ̶̬̈́,̸͈̈́ ̷̢̳̋p̶̏͋͜ä̷̤́ǐ̶̳n̷̗̖̑,̵̡̄́ ̵̘̉̄p̶͕̭̐a̶͎͘i̴̛͇͚ṋ̶̂̐,̴͓̔̆ ̸̻̃̈́b̸̘̻̂e̴̳͖̓ ̴̫̗͆͋ó̸̻̯ḇ̷̊e̴͓̻͌d̴̪͊i̴̼̤̐̊e̶͈͌ǹ̵̙t̵͎̉̑ ̸̜̓n̴͍͕̅̀ö̴͖̝w̸̥͐̓,̸͊̉ͅ ̷̙̻̇̕y̷͂͒ͅo̸̟͆u̶̞̜̾͝'̶̠̂̈ĺ̵̝̦l̷͚͔̓́ ̶̨̞̇l̷̨͉̃͐e̶͖͑͒a̶̤̣̚r̴͍̅͌ǹ̸̛̗ ̸̙̬͛͗t̴̢̀o̷͍͑̓ ̵͈̟͌̎l̶̫̭̿̅o̷͓͋̇v̵̤͑e̵̤͔̊͒ ̷̼̜͐m̵̹͂e̸͕̝̿̈́,̸͇̠́ ̴̺̅ṕ̸͈̓a̷̜̮͛̐i̵̧̚n̶̺͕̑̀,̶̗̼̀ ̴̜͠p̴͓̣̆a̵͕̮͂ḯ̵̗̽n̵͚̎̽,̵̼̅ ̴̠͠p̵͕̝͋͘ḁ̶͂̏i̵̞͛ņ̴̻́̀,̷͈͆ ̴͇͝p̶̭͚͐͒a̴̳̟͗͐i̴̗͇̇͝n̸̢̽̿,̷̣̘́ ̷̰̹̏p̶̤̃̽a̷̟̐̕ī̴̳̱̎n̸̖̓,̵̧̀ ̵̦̙̍p̷͉̀͝a̵̝̾̕i̷͖̫̾͝n̸̥̮̈̓,̶̻͙̍̂ ̷̧̹̓͗p̴̙̏̿a̵̩͘ḭ̶̀͐n̷̳̄,̸̫̊ ̴̣̏s̸̢̖̔͐ŏ̶̧̞ ̵̠̀̆f̸̲̔ě̸̘i̷̪͎͐ş̷̅̓t̸̪̿̈ȳ̴͇̂͜,̶̟͖̈́̓ ̶͉͉̍̂s̴̛̻̝t̵̢͝ị̴̛ḷ̵̎l̴͖͋͗ ̶̲̆ạ̵̚ ̸̗̈́͌l̶̻̻̈́͗o̴̯̊̂t̸̜͓͊̚ ̴̋ͅó̴͕̹͆f̸̥̓ ̸̢̯͛ṟ̷̇̀e̵͖͆͠ŝ̶̡͎̕ỉ̸ͅs̶̯̩̃̄t̸̟̻̄̆á̶̻͈̅ñ̷̙̔c̶̘̗͛e̶̹̦̐̚ ̴̰̍͠i̸͉̍͝n̷͈͖̈́̉ ̷͇̩̌͑ÿ̴͍̼̋o̴̹̓ủ̶ͅ ̷̰̓͊l̶̯͆͑ỉ̶̯̫k̴͙̼̆ę̶̩́͋ ̵̰͖͗̔ť̶̳̪h̴̞̜̾ȧ̶͖̩t̶̟̳̾͘ ̷̻͎̽̏l̶̪͛́ï̴̱t̶̲̝̓t̶͙̫̽l̶͈͊e̴̬͆̕ ̵͖̅r̴̼͇͛̎ḛ̷̡̒s̶̟̭̐̂ỉ̸͍s̷̠̟͗̈́ṱ̷̱͋͑a̷̰͝ņ̵̘͊ċ̷̬͛e̶̛̜͛ ̵͚̓̃ò̸̩͊f̵̓͛͜ ̷̲͑̋ỵ̶͒͜͝o̶̝̓̿ṵ̸̼̒ṙ̷̛̩ş̶̝̍̕,̴̨̀̉ ̷̬̙̔p̴̢̈́a̶͇̖͑͘i̵̬͐n̵̨̉͜,̵̨̗̄ ̵͓̆p̶̜̊̎a̸͈͋i̵̻̎̀ǹ̷̰̰̃,̷͍̄ ̶̨̞̆̾p̴͔̆̋ǎ̵͔̝ī̴͖̹n̵̦̪̓,̸̠̅͠ ̶̠̦̒̈́p̷̧͂͝a̸̗̓ḯ̸̧͈̉n̵̤̤̋,̸̟̈́ ̴̛̥̫p̷̗͐̈a̵̭͗̂i̴̺̠̍n̷̖̞̿,̵̯͗ ̷̞̈́p̴̼͗a̶̯͠į̴͗n̸̹̘̕,̶͈͉̑̑ ̷̮̥̇j̵͔̜́û̸̬s̶̹̈͝t̴̑ͅ ̷̤͈̾s̷̫̿͑ṷ̸̯̾͘b̷̨͈͑m̷̻̿̈́í̵̙̥͑ṫ̵͍̰̚ ̵̟̌̆t̵̐̔ͅo̵͇̅ ̷̝͔͝m̶͈̚ë̶͓̝́͝ ̷͎̓̾a̷͓̺̓n̷̢̬͌ḑ̶̈́ ̴͎̅y̵͍̱̆̂ò̸͍͕͋ũ̴̗ͅ'̷̀̌͜l̶̙̩̑l̷͚̽̊ ̷̱͇͌̈f̴̖̝̾͐o̶̟͌ṙ̴̘͠g̴͇͙̽ḙ̷̅̈́ţ̸̽ ̵̱̣̈̕a̶̰͆l̴̯̠͋l̷͔̯̕ ̸͍̀ö̷̗́̕f̸̼̑͝ ̴͙͗t̸̤̏h̶̤̰̕e̴̩͋̅ ̷̪͌t̶̺̠̐h̶̢̍i̴̛̱͝n̶̼̠̂̋g̷͚̈ș̶̹̈́ ̵̓͜͝t̶̢͚̅̒h̶͈̓a̶̻͍̋̕t̷̳̀ ̷̻́h̷̹̱̽u̶͙̔͜r̶͉̄t̶̫͓́ ̶̢̼̈́y̵̦͖͝o̶̢̓ü̷̬̓,̸̪̀͠ ̸̬̈́͠ď̵̨͉̆e̶͉͓͑̚a̸̟͆r̶͎̕,̵͎̌̃ ̴͍̈̾p̴̘̖͊à̸̞̥ï̶͙n̸̠̦͠͝,̴̛̥͕ ̷̘̑̈́p̴͎̀́a̵̯̳̐i̷̥̥̽̾n̵͈̞̂͒,̷͎̓͠ ̸̮͓̓p̴͕̱̑a̸̢͔̅i̸̼̍n̶̙̥̾̓,̸̨̛́ ̵͎͊̉p̵͔͌á̴̲i̸̪̓n̴͇̊,̴̦̾ ̵͖͗p̵̜̎a̶̭̯̾i̶̳̥̅n̷̩͉̈́,̸̢̼̊ ̵͉̈́͝t̷̬͆͛ḫ̷́i̶̖̇š̷͎ ̴̜̠̃w̶̟͖͗į̴̎ḷ̶̩̾͝l̷̺͋͠ ̸̡̈́̈́ḅ̵̓ẹ̶̡̈́͘ ̶̬̰͒͐m̴͇̝̀̀ǘ̷̗̐c̷̱̬͒h̷̤̕ ̸͚̈́̈́é̵̎͜a̵̞͆ṡ̷̹i̸̺͓̎e̷̺̿́r̸̥̳̆̍ ̸̱̟̌͠i̵̝͂͊f̵̘̣̾͛ ̷̙̹͂͆y̵̬̋͘o̴̜͂͠ũ̴̢ ̵͈͇͐̌j̴̢̓u̷͖̩͒ṣ̴̂t̸͈͖̿͝ ̷̛̝͝s̴̳̓͛u̶̝͚̒b̶̤̈́̿m̴̧̹̿̈í̸̢t̴̛͕̦̔,̷̜̓̓ ̶̨̨̍p̵͚͆ã̴̉ͅi̵̹͔͊͝n̴͓͔͘,̷̤̇͝ ̵͚̞͊p̷̰̎a̴͚̓̉i̸͔͐ņ̵̫͐,̷͓̆̈́ ̴̭͇́̂p̵̺̮̃ȃ̶̡̰̏ḯ̴ͅn̴̙̉͘͜,̷̰̝̌̕ ̷̺̈ͅp̶̗̿a̷̧̞͗ì̸̥̚n̶͍͌̓͜,̸̧̺͝ ̴̺̿p̴̠̯̾â̴͚̪͝ị̵͇͘n̵̩͉̐-̵͚̖͌-̷̦̺̑̆

[The Mute Concubine]
Yandere Emperor x Female Reader: Warning: There are mentions of kidnapping, stalking, obsessive and yandere behaviors which are NOT recommended to practice in real life. Postscript: The text dividers are NOT mine, so I give credits to their respective creators.
Tumblr media
Many years ago, Emperor Ivan ruled Zealia with a heavy hand. He had a young appearance that can be attractive to anyone who didn't know him (and even a little to those who do). He lived in his luxurious palace with his multiple wives; a group of beautiful women who had had some children for him.
Anyone would think that he had everything and couldn't want anything more, and that's what Ivan thought a long time ago despite the monotony of his life. He had a lot of money; total and absolute control over the laws of each kingdom and tribe at his disposal; beautiful women and children; good food, clothing and medicine as well as medical care.
But no, it wasn't like that. Ivan was infatuated with something again; Something was pulling him out of his dream, or rather…someone. That someone was a beautiful young woman whom he had seen during his most recent trip.
She was quite a beautiful and delicate girl, even more so than a common courtesan or prostitute. She had a face that was difficult to forget, and a smile that easily dazzled or moved anyone. She was hired to make Ivan happy during those nights of his stay, but the next morning she disappeared. He not only slept with her, but they also played board games, showing that she was quite good at these since she beat him in the vast majority of the games, which were very silent but interesting. This made him feel more interested in researching her; However, he could not find her anywhere after her return to his palace.
The emperor did not stop thinking about her, reaching the point of dreaming about her day and night. He wanted to go out to find her, but he feared for her own reputation as her ruler. While thinking, he came up with the idea of ​​calling all the girls in his town who had the same physical characteristics as the mysterious girl who now lived in his heart.
All the girls from the town summoned to the palace, introducing themselves one by one only to be instantly rejected by Ivan. He was already starting to get bored after the long day, but he didn't want to give up. From one moment to the next, his trusted butler approaches him and says:
-Your majesty, we have found the girl you were looking for, but there is a problem…- The emperor was interested. His beloved…was she seriously here?, he couldn't believe it; he had to see it himself.
-Let her in, I want to see her.- The emperor firmly ordered. The butler made a gesture and the guards showed the girl in, and the emperor could not believe… that she was the courtesan from that time!, only dressed in a more formal or refined way. The courtesan knelt and bowed, but without saying a single word, which seemed strange to Ivan.
-So… aren't you going to tell me your name?- She was about to take out what appears to be a piece of paper from her sleeve, and just then the emperor's butler interrupts.
-Your majesty, I have tried to ask her name before, but the owner of the courtesan house told me that she is (Y/n) (Y/ln), and that she is… mute.- Ivan was surprised. He now understood why she never talked to him; She was not with bad intentions, because of bad education or because she didn't want to, but because of something that she didn't ask for at birth.
-So that was it. I like it, that awakens an aura of mystery in you that I love so much.- Ivan took her hands and carefully lifted her up. He looked at how embarrassed she was a moment ago, changing that expression to one of surprise.
From that moment on, Ivan made the mute courtesan start living in the palace with him, which made everyone look contemptuously at (Y/n), because she was a courtesan or prostitute and besides, she couldn't even speak; apart from the fact that they envied her a lot for her beauty.
This caused (Y/n) to be forced to use the emperor's hands to defend herself, in exchange for giving herself to him, a man she pretends to love in order to survive in her new environment. She cannot speak and that is true, but she has to communicate with the help of signs, servants, letters, facial expressions and even paintings. Iván loved this girl, because he was not only captivated by her mystery and high genius for board games, but also by her ability to draw and paint.
Ivan, on the other hand, was still obsessed with (Y/n). He loved spending time with her, whether sleeping with her, playing super difficult but entertaining board games, feeling like he had never felt with any of the women in her harem. For him, she is different.
She was… his mute concubine.
-The End.

request: Hello can I request yandere Emperor with a foreign dancer reader??? Like reader is runaway princess of a kingdom because she didn't wanted to marry an old noble man whom her parents choose for her to gain political support. Thank you!!
yandere!emperor x dancer!reader
you escaped your kingdom in the disguise of a dancer and it worked well with how skilled you are at dancing.
you ran away because your wish to marry for love was disregarded by the king and queen, your parents. they instead arranged you to a wealthy old nobel who's obviously does not have the best intentions.
you travelled along with your crew to various kingdoms to perform.
until you stopped to perform at the yandere!emperor's empire.
he was well known to be a benevolent emperor he already had a harem of his own occupied by the most beautiful women in the empire.
however he has not taken any empress yet, despite the Court's determination to marry one of their daughters to their beloved emperor.
when the day of the feast came, you were the star of the performance. eyes were on you, dazzling as you dance with grace.
with your beauty, everyone has fallen for you including the emperor himself.
he felt his heart beating out of his chest the moment his eyes landed on you, he couldn't take his eyes of you looking like a fever dream.
at that very moment he was determined to make you his.
he immediately asked his right hand to know about you and offered your crew to stay at the palace for a while in return for the performance you had given.
he started to subtly court you by asking for your presence to join in him for tea and a chat.
he then started to take you out on dates, which you don't mind assuming it was only the emperor's kindness and hospitality.
he also gave you gifts such as clothes and jewelery or anything your heart desires he will have it granted to you.
it took a while to make you fall for him but you did.
the emperor couldn't be even happier than having you.
he started to spoil you more and more which made his affections to you even obvious to the eyes of others.
he only requested you to his chambers to spend the night with him leaving the harem confused by his actions.
his courtship towards you spread out like fire within the empire.
because of this the court still continued to pursue the emperor to marry their daughters and it led to the jealousy of his consorts and concubines
you were subjected to various humiliation whenever the emperor was not around but you kept quiet to not cause a fuss
until you were fed up with the mistreatment
you packed your things and talked to the crew to leave the empire and embark on another adventure
when you went to see the emperor, he was happy to see you and even offered to spend time with you
however, his happiness was shattered the moment you said you needed to leave
he went to you and pulled you closer to him asking why are you leaving him and was begging not to leave him because you are his life
you hesitated to tell him but decided not to so you kept silent and went away.
that day the emperor became harsh and cold towards the servants and everyone who crosses his way.
he couldn't let you go, so he ordered his loyal servant to find out the cause of you suddenly leaving him.
it enraged him when he found out how you were treated by the nobles and his harem during your stay.
so he ordered his knights to murder all of the concubines and nobles who participated to make you miserable.
he also investigated your background and found out you were a runaway princess
he immediately went to negotiate with your parents to cut your engagement to whoever noble that it was in exchange for a greater benefit in exchange for your hand
they agree to his offer and he left, but not without a chaos at the kingdom
this action sparked a fear towards everyone among the empire.
they certainly did not expect him to commit a mass murder just because of a foreign dancer.
the news reached to you and you couldn't deny how it made you afraid soon enough he will be out to get you.
guess what, the next morning you open the door and see him staring at you with craziness and love behind those eyes of his.
behind him is his knights conquering the village you are staying at.
he grins down at you "hello my love, I'm glad to see you again."
I hope you like this! :)

fulfil my wish
Tumblr media
yandere!emperor oc x general!f!reader
warnings// obsession,yandere theme,mention of killing and blood,breaking bones,not proofread, let me know if i missed anything!
refrence// you,my love,flower,your majesty-honor, she/her
a/n//i don't actually know if all of this make sense-
Tumblr media
it's been months since you've got married to taron,and you hated every second of it.
your place is in the field with a sword or in a war not in this luxurious life full of lazeness,but he prevented you from using the sword again saying it's too dangerous for an empress to go to the war.
in the start you didn't mind because you don't want to hold the sword against your home,but you can't handle it anymore when you couldn't even go out the castle.
your life start to become plain and boring,you literally had read the entire library.
whenever you open the topic with taron he close it immediately.
You've gave up on getting out from there and didn't argue about it more untill...
You have a younger sister who got married early to one of the soldiers who was under your wing, but he died in one of the battles so you took her and her children responsibilitys on you,You found a job for her to support herself and her children, and you visited them every month but after what happen you forget about her.
you were on your way to taron to give him some papers he had told you to bring because he forgot them in the room when you stumble on one of his correspondents telling him news about the empire and he mentioned something about your sister losing her job.
you had alot of questions first is that how does taron know about her? second Why does he receive her news? She doesn't even live here,but all those questions faded away when you realize you should go visit her.
You were jolted out of your thoughts when the door opened,the correspondent bow in respect and go.
taron smiled softly when he saw you "ah did you bring them already?"
you put the papers on his desk "what did the correspondent told you?" you asked like you didn't hear anything,maybe he'll told you what happen to your sister in details.
"Don't bother yourself with it, it's just normal news about the state of the empire"
you nod in acknowledge "I'll go now then,i need to do something"
"do you now? why don't we drink some tea together,We don't usually sit together" he took your hand and kissed the back of it
you pull your hand quickly "no thanks" then you left.
but then you stopped in your track,Why don't you get closer to him? Maybe he'll let you out the castle then? this idea hit you as you made your way back to him.
you opened the door aggressively "you know what let's drink tea together i don't have anything to do"
taron was confused as much as he was happy,did you finally decided to give him a chance?.
"sure,of course come sit" he said and pull the chair for you to sit on.
when you sat down he demanded the servants to bring two cups of tea in a rush
you sip from your cup in tense,since he sit down he kept just looking at you.
"your tea will get cold" you point out.
"hm?....ah yes,yeah right" he shake his head like he just come to his sense.
you roll your eyes when he wasn't looking.
he sip from his cup befor he speak "What is the reason for the sudden change in behavior,hm?....it's not like i'm complaining of course"
you pause thinking of a reason "...nothing really....I'm-just bored."
He raised his eyebrows in surprise "you're bored? Did the servants fail to bring you anything? do you need anything? should i punish someone?"
"whao there,it's nothing like that i just.....it's boring being here all the time"
he sigh "i don't like where this going to."
"why so? all i ask is a little walk in the cit-"
"no." he shuts you up immediately. "we've talked about that before,if you need anything I'll send someone to bring it to you."
"it's totally different! i need some fresh air"
"the garden is big enough"
"but it's annoying to be in the same place over and over again."
"look.." he say as he made his way to you taking your hands in his "it's all for your safety,we don't know what will happen if you set your foot outside the gates."
"i belive I'm more than capable of myself." you say in annoyance.
taron chuckle slightly "yes,i trust you can of course, let's just say i don't want anyone to see your beauty as well...If I didn't have to, I wouldn't let the servants see you at all"
"that's bullshit" you mutter under yout breath.
"i know you're not the type to stay in one place,but you'll get used to it"
you glare at him in anger and pull your hands from his.
taron sigh in frustration and ran his hand through his hair.
"is boredom the only reason that you want to go out?"
you stayed silent for a moment, "no...i want to visit my sister."
"...oh..you have a sister?"
what a liar,it taking everything in you to not punch him, "i do" you say between gritting teeth.
"don't worry about her,just tell me where is she and I'll take care of her." he smiled at you.
"no need, just let me visit her." you say in desperate.
"I'll think about it" he goes back to his side of the table "i would love to spend some more time with you but i have duties to attend" he say in an apologising tone.
you left the room without saying anything,knowing that it's just lies and he won't let you go.
you're laying down on the bed,you couldn't sleep last night thinking of ways to visit your sister.
Even if you can avoid the servants, you will not be able to avoid the guards outside.
you sigh and gets up to change,you'll think better in the fresh air.
When you open the door to leave, you're stopped by a guard standing at the door.
"please forgive me,your majesty,But it's orders you can't leave your room."
you scoff and get inside,that happened alot when taron get guests.
you sit beside the window looking out at the garden lost in thought,you heard rambling outside the door,that most be the servants busy providing hospitality,poor people.
but that when an idea crossed your mind,everyone busy with the guests,no one will notice you snaking out,And if you use a little of your power as an empress, you can leave, and no one will tell taron immediately.
you open the door again and cut the guard before he say anything "i need to use the lavatory."
the guard look between you and taron's guest room,you clear your throat to get his attention again "I'm sure taron wouldn't mind,in fact he might even get angry if he knew you didn't let me go." you feel a little guilty to use his fear against him but you know you had to,for your sister.
the guard stood in front of you in tense "as you wish,your majesty,but let me escort you."
you had no choice but to accept,now you're here in the toilet thinking about how to get rid of him.
You use one of the moves you had learned as a general,
You pull him in quickly as you apply enough pressure to the carotid arteries,while you cut off the blood flow to his brain, render him unconscious.
you mutter "sorry" and left,walking slowly to the outside gates you've bumped on one or two of the servants who questions you if you need anything or telling you that taron don't want you to go out now,but you brush it off by some excuses as he the one who told you to bring him something or you want something personal from a room.
You have successfully reached the outdoor garden, you made your way to the gates and the guards stopped you "sorry your honor but you are forbidden from leaving, it is the Emperor's orders"
you expected this to happen "I've been given permission to leave"
the guards look at each other and then one of them speak "excuse us but we have to ask his majesty about this"
"are you calling me a liar?" you say sternly.
the guard started to get tense and bow his head "i would never your honor!"
"it's-it's just for safety,your honor,so his majesty won't get upset" the other guard says shakly
"there's no need to disturb him right now,i belive my word is enough to go by,isn't it?"
the guards opened the way to you and shouted "yes of course your honor!"
it would be strange for you to go walking in this clothes in public so you take a trolley to escort you.
your eyes land on a clothes shop,it sells ordinary clothes just the thing you need so you told the trolley driver to stop by it, when you enter everyone star at you,not that they recognize you thank to taron's possessiveness, but because you look more like a royalty to buy something from a store like that.
you ignore the stars and whispers in your way looking for something more comfortable you can run in it if needed...or fight.
when you find what you want and wear it you head to pay but then realize that you didn't bring with you any money,cursing under your breath as you think of something you can pay by, your eyes landed on your ring,your wedding ring,it's not like you loved it anyway so you give it to the seller who look at you with shock but eventually take it of course even if it was too much for the price.
as you walk out the store,you tries to hide your face as much as you can so the trolley driver won't recognize you,when you get far enough you start to walk casually but fast trying to reach your sister as fast as you can before taron knows about your disappear and make a huge deal of it.
8:00p.m
it's been two hour when those shame of royalties has been here,taron grew annoyed,What they say is all bullshit to him,he could kick them out easily and for no reason but he doesn't want to deal with the drama that will happen... not now at least not when you finally softened up to him a little bit,his mood ease a little when he thought of you.
he wonder if you're asleep right now,and hope you're not, he want to spend some time with you again.
8:30p.m
oh finally they're gone!,taron bid them farewell coldly and fast he didn't even escort them to the gates but can they complain? they're lucky enough he even accepted to meet them and didn't kick them out by 5 min.
taron head to your room and got angry when no one stand at the door,didn't he set a guard here?.
he opens the door to your room slowly so he won't wake you up if you were sleeping,But all his annoyance changed to shock when he did not see anyone in the room he made sure to not let you out didn't he?!
taron shouted for the servants to come and by seconds three servants bowing on their hands before him,no one dared to left their head up not when their emperor is angry.
"i belive I've made myself clear to not let y/n left the room,haven't i?,so where is she now?" his tone is terrifyingly filled with coldness.
"We-we were s-s-so busy hosting that we didn't notice anyone leaving,your-your Majesty" one of them say shakly with terror.
"you useless insects!" he shouted "I'll deal with you later,go and prepare my horse and let some of those guards prepare themselves too...quickly!" he demanded.
the servants hurried to do what they had been told.
taron knew exactly where are you going to,if you only waited for some days, he was going to take you there of course he was, why would he prevents you from visiting your sister?? he was just going to make it a surprise but you had to break his words and now you ruined everything, he has to make you learn how to obey him even if he have to use power.
day later
it wasn't easy to left the empire the guards was everywhere, you even had to hide somewhere for like three hours.
but eventually you're out know and close to your sister's house it only take an hour walking.
.
.
.
you finally here after alot of trouble,you knock on the door and your sister opened the door real quick.
"ah-y/n! what-what got you here?"
you didn't answer instead you throw yourself at her and hug here tight,she return the hug but there was something strange about her, she sutter and seems like really anxious,you shrug this feeling off maybe she's still brokendown.
she guster you inside "I've heard about what happened" you say while sitting down.
"o-oh really? it's not a big deal...and i-i heard about your marriage" she brings some tea and biscuit to a table in front of you.
"ugh don't talk about that now,it's miserable..that sham of a man thinks he have the right to control my life or something"
"y-y/n ac-actually he's-"
"but it's true my love, i do have the right to control your life" someone cut your sister off, you recognize that voice, taron
you stand up in a defensive pose quickly wich lead to knock the tray off "what are you doing here?!"
"what? am i not allowed to visit my beloved wife sister?" he said with innocent tone.
you look at your sister with a questioning look,but what got you angry more is how your sister shiver in fear, what did he do to her?!.
"i swear to god taron if you've hurt her!" you warning.
taron only chuckle slightly "I've never heard you say my name,it's like honey when you say it"
you didn't replay don't want to go further with his playing.
taron's expression suddenly turned serious "now let's go back to the castle,and you're going to come with me obediently" he say coldly
you wanted to argue but your sister life is on the line,before you even replay he grabbed your arm and dragged you to his horse behind the house, he ride the horse at first and demand "ride" as you ride hesitantly.
The road to the castle was quiet and full of tension, you knew full well that there would be consequences when you return, but at least your sister was safe.
as soon as you reached your destination, taron took you by your arm forcefully and then threw you on the floor of the room.
you fall on your back hard but you swallow your groan,Before you lift yourself off the ground taron place his foot on your neck It chokes you a little.
"you broke my words,flower. i have to make sure you won't do it again." he say strangely calm as he tuck down and take one of your arms
the next thing you hear is a cracking noise,fuck he broke your arm.
you bite your lips to not scream and sound weak,All thanks to your training as a general,but you eventually let a little groan escape as he force more wight on it.
"you broke my heart,flower. The least i can do is break your arm,and this still not as much pain as I felt" with every word come out his mouth he twists your arm more "be thankful i didn't kill your sister."
with that he left you alone,you lift yourself up and embrace your arm letting out a few tears,it of course doesn't hurt like the battles injuries But this is the first time someone has broken your pride, and who did it? The person you hate most!.
you swear you'll get your revenge someday.
someone knock on the door,you gave permission to enter, the castle's doctor entered,she respectfully told you to sit on the bed so she cast your broken arm. (i guess it's like that?)
When she finished, she wished you a speedy recovery and left.
taron entered as soon as the doctor left,he looked at your arm for some minute before he exhale and sit down beside you.
"you lost that" He takes your good hand and place your wedding ring in your finger,a blood-stained ring,did he kill the clothes seller?!.
"you of course hadn't gave it willingly,so i brought it back to you, don't mind the blood it'll go easly with some soap" he was smiling, how can he smile when he just killed an innocent person!.
maybe the blood on the ring will remind you what taron can do without guilt, if you hadn't listen to him this would've been you sister blood.
he's terrifying.
