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

"Follow me." Y/n said her voice quietly, Wanda walked briskly as fast as Y/n was, they entered Y/n's chambers.

Wanda turned to her friend. "What's going on."

"Were leaving I-I can't James has chan-" She was cut off the door opened, James walked in, Y/n glared at him.

"Where do you plan to leave, I am king and I have eyes and ears everywhere, you think I won't find you, my queen." James spoke all of this was sent Y/n's breath was shaky. "Wanda you can leave, unless you wish to watch me fuck her into submission."
Y/n closes her eyes then looked to Wanda. "Go." She could tell that Wanda wanted to speak up for her as Y/n had earlier that day but Y/n did not blame her nor was, she mad, she knew how Wanda was and she would not ask for her to change, Wanda practically ran from the room. James circled Y/n like he was a lion circling his prey. "James your drunk, don't do this." Y/n shook her head; James came close to her she could feel her husband's breathing on her neck, his hand lift to tangle in her hair, she grabbed his wrist. "James, I know that the man I've grown to love is deep in there and he wouldn't do anything that my mother would do." That made the king back up away from her, he sat in one of the large winged back chairs near the fireplace. Y/n took that as that she could leave the room but as she did, she ran into prince Brock. "No leave this castle you are not welcome in the North any longer all you do is tear apart perfectly good things."

"This will start a war Queen." He hissed.

"I don't care." Her voice was as strong as she could make it, the prince stormed out of the castle, and for the first time in days she could breathe fresh air again. Her chest rose and fell as she let tear's role down her cheeks.

"Your highness?" Steve ran up to the queen.

She wiped her tears away. "War is coming." She told the captain; all he could do was nod, Y/n walked back into the chambers finding James in the same place he had been when she left. "I sent Brock back to Hydrana."

"A war is going to start." He said his voice shaky.

"Aye, but we'll get through it." She said honestly.

He huffed a laugh. "I've been an imbecilic the past few days I hurt you because my feelings got in the way of me thinking."

"As much as I do want to accept your apology, James I'm going to need a little time before I go right in and am alright with this, we were both being harsh towards one another, but that doesn't make it an excuse for you to do that." She was blunt but as most things that is how she could be at times.

James looked at her and gave her a firm nod. "I understand." He bowed his head to look at the ground.

Days went on with James and Y/n having distance put in between the both of them but with Brock gone it seemed to get better between both of them the mountains which once was between them shrunk into hills. James was still busy making sure that Hydrana did not attack the Kingdome. But one day a young messenger wearing the bright yellow and red of the south they were let in as he was let in James walked to the entrance. "What are you doing so far way form home?" James asked the young-looking boy.

"I have a letter I need to give directly to Queen Y/n." The boy said to the king.

James's brows furrowed. "Alright?" He led the boy to the library where the Queen had been spending most of her time, James opened the door Y/n laid out on the sofa reading a book. "Y/n, A messenger form the south has a letter for you."

She sat up the boy came in and gave her the letter, she opened the envelope with the seal of her brother she looked at the letter.

To My Dear Sister

I regret to inform you that our mother and father were brutally killed in their sleep I know this will take a few days to get to you by the time you receive this I have been coronated King, there was a letter by their bed side we know the culprit, I want you to tell your husband this and that I am declaring war on the Kingdom of Hydrana, I'm going to need to help and I am starting with yours knowing that we are allies through marriage, I need you now more than ever, I want to reassure you that Aron is fine and well just sad, I want to come and see you soon, but I'm afraid this war will tear apart kingdoms and bring them together.

-Tony

Tears burned at her eyes as she read the letter, James looked at her with concerned and he walked up to her putting a comforting arm around her, "What happened?" He whispered in her ear; she handed the letter to the king.

She straightened herself up and straitened up, and walked up to the boy, Peter. "Thank you, Peter for coming all this way."

"Queen Y/n, I'm sorry for your loss, I wish I could help you." He frowned.

"Peter, just tell my brother that he can come to the north any time." She told him. He bowed then took his leave, James walked up behind her, she shook her head James could tell that she was sad, even though they were shitty parents they were still the people who brought her into this world. "I want to be a lone for a little while."

James nodded respecting her wishes and left her to be alone, James walked through the halls once he passed Wanda, he stopped her. "You should go be with Y/n, she said she wanted to be alone but I think she needs her friend." James told the young woman.

She nodded and walked into the library Y/n looked up at the young woman, Y/n's e/c eyes were red from tears. "What happened?" Wandas voice was soft and comforting like a warm blanket wrapped around a cold child.

"My parents were murdered." Y/n cried harder; Wanda sat down beside her holding her hands in comfort.

Y/n was depressed over the situation for days James was concerned for her at night he'd come into the room late at night, and he'd find Y/n awake, her eyes always puffy and red, he got into bed with her, late in the night Y/n woke up because of a night mare it was similar to the one she had the night before the wedding, she got out of bed and walked out to the balcony, and watched the snow blow past her, as she looked over at the village of the Kingdome below the cold air of the north made he fingers turned red she shivered. "You're going to get frost bight." James spoke from behind her, she turned.

"It's my fault." Her voice was raspy, James looked at her in confusion. "The war that's going to happen and my parent's death, because of a damn rejection."

James shook his head. "Don't but this all on you, Y/n, He was splitting us apart and were stronger side by side." A single tear rolled down Y/n's cheek, the moon shining in her eyes, the stars sat in the dark sky, James pulled her into his chest giving his wife comfort and support.
