Amit the Rakshasa King

Female Reader x Male Monster

You've been in the King Amit's court since you were young, you had lost your family to Gnoll slavers. Your father risked his life to get you to the sfaety of the Rakshasa Royal city. You were taken in by Rakshasa royal guard and placed to work in the palace. So you grew up knowing the ins and outs of his palace intimately. You knew every hidden passageway and secret tunnel, including the ones that ran behind the bathhouse that only his secret corps were supposed to know.

When you grew older you got a job on Amit's staff, running various odd jobs around the palace. Soon you caught the attention of some of the Amit's council and became a page on their personal staff. You had seen King Amit many times before, but this was your first time being so close to him. You had always admired him, not just for being a good ruler, but for his beauty.

Amit was bigger than you imagined, his shoulders broad, arms thick, his thick hands looked as big as the shields of the royal knights. His fur pure white with thick white stripes cutting across it. His eyes gleamed when he was deep in thought, sharp as the sword that hung at his hip. No wonder stories about him were often so terrifying, you knew you wouldn't want to come upon him when he was angry.

One day you were given a letter to deliver to the Amit from the high priest. You loved the high priest, he was old and highly respected but he was one of the most down to earth people you ever met. You often found him drinking in his office or eating stolen sweets from the kitchen. He was also one of the only people able to call out King Amit or any of his staff without getting his throat slit. That's what you enjoyed most about him. His muzzle was gray and his eyes milky, but he always knew you when you came.

"Make sure he reads it, I want a prompt reply," he said, patting your hand as he sent you on your way.

You were slightly nervous, you had never delivered King Amit a letter alone. You had always delivered him things when others were present and whoever was in the room took it from you and gave it to him.

You knock on his door and when his low voice calls from inside you walk into his office and bow deeply. "A letter from the high priest, your majesty."

"Then bring it here," he doesn't look up from his desk, waving his massive hand for you to approach.

You feel slightly excited as you approach him, holding the letter out. He glances up at you then, peering over the rims of his glasses, his eyes dart over you before taking the letter. Your hand actually brushes against his for a moment.

"Thank you," he says and opens the letter as you stand there. His eyes narrow and he looks up at you then back down at the letter.

"Your majesty?" You ask out of curiosity.

Amit shakes his head, still looking at the letter, "nothing," he placed it in his desk. He asks for your name and you give it. He stands up beckons you close and you follow, he places something in your hands and opens a hidden door.

Amit gets close to you, close enough you can smell his fur and hear the jingle of the buttons on his closes. "Make sure you get this to the priest, don't let anyone see you with it." Amit growls with low intensity.

"Yes," you nod, taking the wrapped parcel. "I promise, your majesty."

Amit smiles softly at you, "keep this up you could become invaluable," he says as he shuts the hidden door behind you.

Your knowledge of the hidden tunnels and passages in the palace make you just that as you continue to run the secret correspondence between King Amit and the high priest daily. You become hired onto the priest's staff, taking on these missions in secret, sometimes late into the night.
