A villain Jiraiya au. He took back his throne by force. And yet again he seeks a bride to be his queen. Will you rise to the challenge?

———————————————————————————

For hours now you've banged on the door. You've yelled and demanded to be released. It's only when you had finally lost your strength did something happen. The door opened. A maid entered. A few more followed her. You are scooped off of the floor and handled like a doll. Any hope for dignity is stripped from you as your clothing is taken off of you. You are dressed in an elegant dress that any little girl obsessed with princesses would have dreamed to be dressed in. But you are not a princess.

Like many who had come before you, you have been picked to be the bride of the king. Your predecessors have all disappeared under circumstances that can only lead to one conclusion. The king is cruel. One false move and you could end up like them. Missing. Erased from the castle like they never stepped foot in these halls.

"Come, my lady. You are expected to join his majesty for dinner." One of the maids said.

Do you have a choice? You follow the woman. You are exhausted. For now the fight had fled. As you smell food, a mix of emotions fly around your body. A deep growl from your stomach. As you were taken from your home around midday. You hadn't even had lunch. That is followed by sorrow. Your parents were nearly killed as you were taken away by the king's guard. They begged that you be spared.

The cruelty the king is known for shone through true as he merely laughed at their pleas. He mocked them. He was truly amused at how they hated his choice to take you. They thought it was for a job. While they embellished a few of your qualities, they did say truths about you. They wanted to boast about their proud family in front of the king. How were they supposed to know it was because the king had fancied you to be his next fiancée?

Next to come was fear.

King Jiraiya has a terrifying reputation. The tales of his hardships are now well known. He spoke of them when he took the throne. He wasn't born into the luxuries of royalty. He was a bastard. A royal the family would rather forget about since he was born under sinful circumstances. His mother merely a maid one of the king's brothers decided to have an affair with. His mother was dumped to a small village and left to raise her child by herself where both her and her son could be easily put out of mind. And they did forget about him.

That was until five years ago. It was a the scariest part of history to live through. When a man decides he's better at running a kingdom more than his relatives. He's a skilled fighter. So many soldiers fell. So did the king. That was soon followed by the king's sons.

The kingdom didn't fall into ruin as one would expect from a coup d'état. His highness was in many ways correct in how he could improve the kingdom. Despite the blood stained throne, the people didn't suffer. Maybe that's what frustrated people. Jiraiya is very good at leading. He retook control of his kingdom. The clergy was making major decisions when his uncle merely wore the crown and directed whatever "the gods" had ordered. It only seemed to benefit them overall rather than the kingdom as a whole. In a way Jiraiya was doing better as a leader. He did what would benefit everyone. From the poor to the rich, all was considered in each move he made.

He's also ruthless. The soldiers still loyal to the old king tried so many times to overthrow Jiraiya as he had overthrown them. He slaughtered them. Any one showing signs of revolution died swiftly. Even to this day after this many years there are people still attempting to assassinate him or storm the castle. They never succeed. He's not foolish enough to let them live when they try. Perhaps that's why his wives didn't last long. They rebelled against the tyrant that had no mercy.
