Dangerous loyalty『Tartaglia x MR』

ᴛʜᴇ ᴅᴇᴍᴏɴ ᴅʀᴀɢᴏɴ

The others rose an eyebrow at this since it was the first thing that Scaramouche said when they arrived and not to mention the satisfied look on M/n's face as he dismounts the horse.
"His Majesty has quite the mouth and the things he said to my mother were exactly the opposite of what I thought he'd say."Scaramouche then recites every insult that was thrown out by M/n.
".....He yelled that?! And I wasn't there to see the look on your mother's face!?"

"Oh, she was horrified~ I think that was by far the most beautiful expression on an enemy face up to date!"

"Aw! I wish I saw it...Oh! Lookie the dragon is back!"M/n turns to see a black and purple dragon flying over and soon it lands.
"Good job dragon-kun!"

"I told you my name is Hibiki! And I can't believe you tricked me with that blood! Now I'm stuck with him-"The dragon points its muzzle over at M/n.
"For the rest of my life!"

"Hehe, it worked I see...Oi, turn into a human form of something. It's hurting my neck to look so far up."The dragon growls but had no choice but to listen to his new master for entirety.
"Well since I'll be with you until the end of time, I might as well play nice with all the puppies you have."

Hibiki touches down in front of M/n. The lavender-haired male stood at the same height at Scaramouche and seemed to be just as bratty.
"Another lapdog! You're so cute!"M/n couldn't resist the urge to hug Hibiki and yanks him in close; causing Tartaglia and Scaramouche to glare at the newcomer.
"Hehe! Anyway, how much time do we have before she comes storming here?"

"I would say three days top-"

"Not with how much I pissed her off. So I'd give it a day."

"A day then."M/n was more proud about what he did more than he should have been. To M/n, he felt as if he's held in all his anger, and to finally let it out made him excited however, some deep down there was since of sadness and pain.
"Your majesty, may we speak alone?"

"Sure Taglia. Everyone go rest up, we have a battle to prepare for tomorrow."Everyone nods their head then leaves the two alone to talk.
"Your majesty, you look sad all of a sudden."

"Don't get it wrong, I'm ready to kill that bitch but... I've killed so many times but just this once will it make a difference. This time, it'll help a vast amount of humans."

"....How long have you been battling that thought?"

"Since the third war. I was still very young at the time, maybe in my early twenties. I was on the battlefield with my father and all those who I had killed were...They died for nothing."M/n somberly explains all that he can recall from the wars he participated in.
"Don't worry your Maj- No, M/n. Everything will work out fine...If one day you decide to wage war against the queen, I'll fight until my dying breath to ensure your victory."Tartaglia grabs M/n's hand and places a kiss on the back of it.
"Good. Her people harbor no love for her anyway. They only fear her and fear shouldn't be a means to rule over your nation. I'll say out for a while longer, go rest up."Tartaglia was a bit reluctant but leaves the prince to his thoughts on the night.
"My my! It seems that your doggy couldn't sense me overhead."

"That didn't mean I didn't sense you, Hibiki. So you're the sole survivor of all her friends?"

"...No, I wasn't her close friend. Hell, I wasn't considered a friend to her, I was just some tool. Nothing more, nothing less. Then she started to push everyone away in her pursuit of longevity for all those within Inazuma, however, things spiraled more when Prince Scaramouche was born mortal. There was no love for him in her heart and none for her husband...She murdered Scaramouche's father a few years after his birth."Hibiki sighs as the wind billows around them.
"She was surprised to see me when you two made your crafty escape."

"I know. I heard the lovely sound of not hearing her voice."

"I'll admit, I like you as a master. So petty and snarky, I fucking love it!"

"You better, you'll be the twelfth Harbinger but you'll be my third. We Happy few am I right?"Hibiki glances over at the prince next to him, he could feel the power leaking from M/n, even at his calmest.
"Then-"Hibiki drops to his knee next to M/n. Albeit M/n saw this coming, it still surprises him when people kneel before him, especially if they're cute.

"I'll pledge my unyielding loyalty to you."

"Is this your way of saying you wish to be a lap dragon? If so, I accept your loyalty my cute dragon!"

"I'm also tethered to you but yes, your lap seems to be the best place to be."M/n holds his hand out to aid Hibiki in standing up, the dragon takes it happily.
Will he truly be able to help Inazuma?
