The Ruby Empire

Bowgar the Golem

Male Monster x Female Reader

Years ago your family betrothed you to a great knight, and if you were honest he was a bit intimidating. He was so well loved in the kingdom and so dedicated to his job. He's also very handsome, which would be enough to intimidate you. To make things worse he's actually kind to you. But aside from that, he doesn't really show any interest in you.

He's actually out and about being a knight, leading armies, fighting wars, being a hero, more than he is near his fiancee. The wedding has been pushed back several times and you're relieved each time. Each time it's pushed back to say a silent thank you to whoever saved you. This means you don't have to try on a dress, which means no measuring or tailoring. You don't have to stand about all day half-naked as you get the dress fitted.

Well, until one day your father has had enough of waiting. He insists on keeping your betrothed around long enough for a wedding to take place. Your father drags the poor knight away from his work and forces him to stay. The knight insists he is needed, that if he doesn't return something terrible will happen. But your father doesn't listen.

Proceedings for the wedding take off at a record pace. You're fitted for your dress and you mother clicks her tongue at how big your waist has gotten. Like she has any room to complain. You're fitted for the dress and sewn into it for the big day.

You feel miserable, not just because you're packed so tight into your wedding gown it's hard to breathe or move, let alone eat anything. You just know you don't love this knight no matter how many good qualities he has. Sure, he's kind and handsome. He doesn't treat you any differently. You just know you will never love him and you'd prefer to be married to someone you did.

You're getting ready to walk down the altar, and looking towards the groom you notice he has a stressed look on his face. You know he doesn't want this either. You take your first step as the organ starts and then chaos breaks through the wall.

The wall behind the organ busts through, pipes and metal squeal and bend forward as lava turns them into a puddle. People are screaming and running and you're knocked to the floor. You're nearly trampled but the knight comes and saves you. He takes the sword from your father's belt, intending to fight the monster that's just plowed his way in.

"I knew this would happen!" He snarls. "Stand back!" He roars as people rush passed.

You stand behind the knight, too afraid to move in fear you might get trampled again. You look up, seeing the monster is a golem. Their body glows with a radiant, red heat and if it wasn't for the fact they were destroying everything in their path, you would think him beautiful.

The knight charges forward you to try to stop him. You run out, knowing he doesn't stand a chance with your father's old sword. Sure enough, the golem breaks it with one touch and he tosses the knight aside. He then turns his attention to you.

"What a pretty thing we have here," he laughs. He picks you up and turns to the knight. "Sorry to ruin the wedding but I think I found exactly what I needed." He tosses you over his shoulder. "Come now, love. Your blushing groom has work to do."

You kick and fight, trying to break free of him but he carries you out the way he came as if you aren't there.

"Let me go!" You struggle but he presses his palm down on you.

"You best sit still," he growls at you. His voice sounds like the earth moving and shifting. "You've already ripped that pretty dress of yours."

"I don't care about a dress!" You snap. You kick but you only end up hurting yourself.

He laughs. "Hard to put a dent in stone, isn't it?"

You manage to push yourself up and turn to look at him. His body, from looking, is made from stone, the cracks in it glow and underneath you can see the swirling flow of lava. Even if he has kidnapped you from your wedding, you still find it beautiful to look at. There are rows of spikes down his back that ends with a long tail. His face, if it is his face, looks like armor. You see just his mouth, the rest of his face is covered by strange plates of rock forming something that looks like fingers crossing over where his eyes should be.
