A challenge (Hubert x Reader)

Takes place after "The Princess of Dagda".

.

Garreg Mach monastery...

Different location, yet still a prison.

You had hoped that this would at least provide you with a bit more freedom, but no. Not if Hubert had anything to say about it.

There was barely a moment when he wasn't breathing down your neck. Constantly watching you.

At the moment, you were at the Training Grounds, practicing your swordsmanship. And there was Hubert. Lurking in the shadows. Watching.

What was he even expecting you to do? Somehow attack his precious lady in the middle of a monastery full of knights and nobles? Clearly he didn't actually think you posed a threat. Was he actually even watching you? Well whatever he was doing, you didn't like it.

So you decided to test his attentiveness. You got into position and swung your sword, purposefully swinging too hard and letting it go, making it look like an accident.

You expected the sound of metal hitting the wall as he dodged the weapon. But you hadn't expected him to retaliate. The stinging pain of the spell he sent your way failed to dissuade you from ever attacking him again. Instead, now you felt angrier than before.

You turned to Hubert, who was looking quite pleased with himself, and glared.

"Did Edelgard put you up to watching me?"

"I am merely making sure you stay in line."

You walked up to him slowly, smirking, "I do not know the meaning of that Fódlan expression." you lied, "But let me share one of Dagda."

You cursed at him in your native language, throwing out the nastiest words you could think of. You didn't wait to see if he understood, instead you were too busy attempting to punch him on the nose.

But he was taller and stronger. This coupled with the fact that he was always on guard, made it easy for him to block your attack. Hubert then pinned your arm behind your back, effortlessly.

You attempted to get loose, but Hubert wasn't budging.

"I recommend you behave."

"And I recommend you let go of me!"

He did and you almost fell forward. You wanted to storm out and go hide but you didn't want him to feel as though he'd won. He hadn't won. You refused to let Fódlan keep beating you down.

"Lady Edelgard did infact send me, but not to watch you. I am actually here for another reason." he said.

You blinked at him. Could he just get on with it? You didn't want to waste any more time with him than necessary.

"She wants me to escort you into town, so that you can visit the market."

You nearly choked on air when he said that. Managing to only cough once, you shook your head in disbelief, "What would I possibly want with a market."

Hubert smirked, "It's not about what you want, it's about what Lady Edelgard wants. And she believes that it would be beneficial for you to experience this part of Fódlan's culture."

You scoffed, "Beneficial how?"

But Hubert didn't answer, "She even insisted to buy you anything that might make you feel more 'at home'." He spoke as he bent down to pick up your discarded sword. He examined it, looking unimpressed.

You glared at him and shook your head again, "I do not believe there is no other reason for this 'generosity'. I will have to decline."

"Unfortunately, that is not an  option."

"I am not going today. I am training."

He moved your sword towards you and replied sarcastically, "Then you might want to work on your grip. We shall go tomorrow."

You took back the sword with a harsh pull and looked away from him with a grimace. Who did he think he was, ordering you around? Who did Edelgard think she was? You were not one of her subjects. You were a captive, but you still deserved some respect.

Just as he was about to leave, Hubert turned to you and said, "And don't bother trying to hide. I will find you."

You took it as a challenge.

Hello! I've decided to officially state that request are closed. If I didn't post it already (before "The Princess of Dagda"), chances are I didn't see any other requests or I just wasn't able to write something for them. I apologize if I didn't see your requests or if I wasn't able to come up with something to write for them. I'm also sorry for not telling this directly to anybody who requested, but the requests are scattered along the comments and I don't know where exactly to find them.
I'm going to focus on this second bash of 7 part stories I've started writing. I won't be posting any requests for the time being. If I open the requests again, I will let you know.
Again, I'm sorry for any requests I may have overlooked.
Thanks for reading my stories! ❤️
