Pampered by the Villainous Tyrant King

Chapter 1

A/N: I own nothing but the plot. Enjoy!

**************************

The King of Eldoris fell to his knees, fatally wounded by the sword that had stabbed through his tattered armor. But King Perseus was determined to not die alone. Ever as crafty and villainous as his reputation stained him, the king summoned every last drop of his magic. Quick as a flash before the remnants of his life left him, he cast the vestiges towards not at the Crown Prince of Tynan who had stabbed his abdomen, but at the prince's fiance, the second princess of the Kiran nation and wielder of light magic.

Princess Alana raised her hands in protest but it was too late. King Perseus' magic spell exploded against the princess' hastily erected light barrier, ejecting the princess backwards thirty feet from where she originally stood. Finishing his nefarious deed, the King collapsed, the light in his green eyes finally expired after months of intense battle.

But his limp body was ignored by the other escorts of the princess. Crown Prince Jason was the first to reach the princess and let out a cry of anguish at her lifeless body. The renowned Lord Christopher, famed for being the strongest dark magic wizard lord in all the three nations, could not resurrect his savior. And in the worst state was the princess' escort who had accompanied the princess since childhood, whose expert swordsmanship could not save Princess Alana.

Princess Alana, her golden hair dyed crimson and bronze from blood and mud, looked up at the blue sky that was as azure as her eyes. She tried to say something, but her internal injuries were too great for her to heal herself. In the arms of her fiance and the company of the two other men who loved her more than their lives themselves, Princess Alana perished.

Annabeth yawned as she finally finished the last chapter of the manuscript her friend and writer, Clarisse, had sent her. It was late at night. She had promised Clarisse that she would give feedback on Clarisse's conclusion of her newest webnovel, "The Tragedy of the Kiran Princess."

What she hadn't expected was that this story was rated R-19 for both gore and smut, Clarisse's two favorite and most popular genres in her work. Annabeth had to quickly flip through a few chapters where the heroine, Princess Alana, had quite a few explicit scenes with each of the three male leads: the crown prince of the neighboring kingdom, the dark wizard lord, and the princess' personal knight.

It wasn't as if Annabeth didn't know much about those types of things, having had experience with prior boyfriends in the past, but the detailed and heavily explicit descriptions of Princess Alana's scenes with each of the male leads made Annabeth blush and look around to see if anyone else was around when she was reading Clarisse's manuscript.

And then there was the ending. Of course, she knew that it was going to be a tragedy given that it was in the title, but she had not expected Clarisse to kill off the heroine just like that. The most Annabeth had expected was maybe one or two of the male leads would die off, leaving the crown prince to win the princess' hand.

Not to mention, Annabeth sympathized just a little more with the story's villain, the king of Eldoris, over any of the other characters. He was described as a tyrant king, but the manuscript was too focused on the female lead and male leads to really explain why the king of Eldoris was a tyrant.

All the villain King Perseus wanted was for the kingdom of Kiran to uphold their bargain to either not cut off his kingdom's trade routes or to have their princess' hand in marriage in exchange for a political alliance. When the elder princess of Kiran was killed on the way to Eldoris, Kiran reneged on the deal and did not open trade routes with Eldoris. This caused the Eldorisian king to have to resort to war on Kiran on the behalf of his citizens.
