A Beautiful, Terrible Thing (Bucky x Reader Royal Au)

5

James came into the chambers to find Y/n asleep on the bed, he sat on his side, he combed his fingers though her soft h/c colored hair, he let out a harsh sigh his crystal blue eyes shined with sadness, with just the visit of prince Brock tearing him and his wife apart, it was almost like they could physically feel the pulling away of both of them, it felt like how you would imagen paper feels like when it gets tone in half, a pit of sadness grew in his chest.

He got himself ready to bed but sleep was not kind to him that night and he was not granted its sweet relief so he stayed awake the whole night, his wife beside him thought reeling he could not be at dinner that night with Y/n and Brock, knowing he would only ruin the thin shred that was left of the peace treaty between Hydrana and the North and possibly the South.

The bright morning sun shone through the curtains of the balcony, Y/n rolled over facing the King, he looked at her as her e/c eyes opened. "James?"

"It's alright." He cupped her cheek.

She pulled away from him, not wanting to be touched because of her anger because of him being so distant from her. "No, why are you being like this, so distant from me you've built mountains between us and you expect me to be all right with you touching me, I'm mad why dose one person have to do with change anything between us."

"Because you don't understand how horrible the war was blood of thousands of men was shed and you expect me to be fine when that bastard comes into my kingdom-"

Y/n cut off the man. "Our kingdom, and I expect you my husband to act like an adult your older than me yet you're acting as though you're a child."

"Y/n!" He roared like a lion. "I am the king-"

"I am your wife, the queen, and you aren't being responsible you're going to go be a king and you will talk to that prince because he will not show me respect, and I'm going to need you, we need to keep the peace we ask king and queen of the North, will show that we can keep peace and we will keep it." Y/n spoke what she was thinking, she walked out of the room door slamming in anger as she left, she passed Steve who was station outside the door. "Tell him that I don't want to speak to him until I get an apology." She walked in the direction of the library. Lady Peggy walked past the angry queen and up to Steve.

"Is her highness alright?" She asked her lover.

Steve frowned. "She and King James are fighting."  He huffed.

Y/n spent the day cooped up in the library, reading books and hiding away from James, Wanda came in during the later hours of the morning. "Caption Steven said you'd be in here, you got to get dressed." Y/n just shook her head at her friend

"Leave me." Y/n said passively, Snow came running in jumping on to the sofa, lying next to her owner, Y/n combed her fingers through the soft fur, the wolf looked like it was scared then the black wolf that was owned by James came running in growling. "Even our wolfs knows something is wrong Wand, Night go." She commanded; the wolf bared its teeth at Y/n then Snow stood on all fours protecting her owner, she bared her teeth and started to growl then she let out a rough deep bark to warn the other wolf. The door opened wider James stepped through the thresh hold, Y/n hid behind Snow.

"Night!" James's voice was a deeper command towards his wolf who immediately backed off the wolf walked towards his owner; Snow still stood in an attack stance; Y/n just ignored her husband as he walked around grabbing books from different shelfs to help with research, he and Steve were doing on Hydrana. Wanda stood awkwardly in the middle of the standoff of sorts between the King and Queen. As the King was about to leave, he turned to the lady in waiting. "Tell the Queen that I'm not the one who needs to apologize." Y/n rolled her eyes at the man, who was taking so many steps back from when they first met.
