The Lost Prince (TechnobladexFemReader)

Chapter 36

The Palace became busy again, servants and knights doing their best to prepare for the inevitable. Many people were recruited, Blacksmiths to make weapons, Nurses and doctors to go out into the field to help the soldiers and many men and women enlisting to help their kingdom. 

You had nothing to do, tasked with only staying behind instead of protecting your home with the other warriors. You had not seen Techno since he ordered you to not get involved, just when the two of you were getting closer something ripped you apart again and again. But your relationship came second, your number one priority was helping those who needed it. 

So you packed supplies, prepped horses and sharpened swords. Anything to help, many citizens and knights stopped to watch you help with a confused look, what were you doing here? Isn't that the Lord's fiance? Are they doing peasant work? That's strange. So many comments flew by you, trying to talk you out of helping or offering to take the job you were doing, you politely declined. 

"Your grace, you really shouldn't be doing that...if our prince sees he'll be angry" the stableman warns as you haul hay bales onto carts with other workers. 

"I don't care, You are all working hard that means I will too" 

Many of the workers looked at you with admiration, your dedication to the war effort was comforting since not many humans cared for the lives of fae. Soon they spoke of your hard work to others, gossiping of your good nature, many spoke with adoration without you even hearing a word of it. 

"Your grace!" Someone calls out to you from just outside the stables, they have long pointed ears and a tail. "The prince has ordered me to escort you to the War room" 

"war room?" you echo, your eyes widen for a second before turning back to serious.  Perhaps you will finally be able to help. The man escorts you to a large luxurious room that has a map in the centre surrounded by chairs, each chair has a different person in it representing several clans within the kingdom. They don't notice you enter while they argue with Techno who stands at the centre. 

"I know- just wait a moment" He speaks in a cold tone.

"Who will stay and take control here?!" A woman with tiger-like features growls out. "With the prince gone the citizens here will be defenceless" 

"we will meet his armies at the border, no one will cross without us knowing" 

"how can you be so sure?!" A man speaks up, he has the body of a wolf clad in leather and iron armour. 

"I'm sure the prince will have an excellent plan for all of this" A woman places a hand on the wolf man's shoulder, she has long blue hair with butterfly wings. 

"I do...if you'll all shut up for one second" Techno spat out, he looked up spotting you and his expression softened. Yours however is serious and ready to take part and help. "You came" He smiled, shocking all the chiefs, their eyes going wide with fear at the sight of their leader smiling so easily. 

"Thank you for calling me My Prince." You say flatly, his face falls slightly at the use of 'my prince'. 

"what?! Who the hell is this?!" The Tiger chieftess asks, mouth agape. 

"I don't know...they smell human" The wolf man sniffs the air, curious about your presence.

"human?!" The tiger chieftess' eyes widened. 

"Oh! I think I've heard rumours of you" The blue haired woman interrupts, her voice calm and graceful. 

"This is y/n, they will be in charge of looking after the citizens while we're away from the city walls"
