•·.·A few hours later, Espresso's POV·.·•
When I woke up, I sighed
'Why in fucks name do I even crash? I'm a coffee coo- dragon. I shouldn't even need sleep'
'Whatever. Anyways, I should probably continue to plan. It's weird to be an antagonist that lacks an evil scheme' (this is a small reference. i really dont expect anyone to notice it or get it lol)
Then I got up and left
When I left my room, I noticed that Lavender was taking care of everything
"Apologies for my absence. I crashed" I said to her
"It's alright. Roguefort told me" Lavender smiled
Then she left
When she left, I picked up my notebook and pen and sat on my throne
I started writing down ideas
"Parent! Play with me! You're always so busy" I heard Strawberry Crepe say
"Sorry, Crepe. I'll play with you, but only for a bit" I said
"How long?"
"Maybe for like.. An hour"
"Ok!"
Then I went to go play with Strawberry Crepe
•·.·An hour later, Cursed Crystal's POV·.·•
When Madeleine came after I called him, I began to speak
"After you told me that Espresso has become a threat, I decided that I should do what I should've done a long time ago" I started
"Kidnap them and bring them to the dungeon. I'll deal with them after you do that" I continued
I gave Madeleine a sleeping gas bomb
"Use this to kidnap them. Trying to kidnap them while they're conscious may not be a wise decision" I said
Madeleine nodded, then he left
•·.·Madeleine's POV·.·•
As I was walking to Espresso's lair, I realized that this whole thing seemed a bit familiar
•·.·Flashback·.·•
I was looking for Espresso when they happened to be walking near me
I acted like I genuinely wanted to hang out with them
"Hey! Espresso!" I said when they got close enough to me
"Oh, hey Madeleine" They said while stopping to look at me
Then they walked closer to me
"Do you want to hang out? I'd like to show you something" I asked in a pretty convincing voice
"Sure" Espresso shrugged
Then I lead the way to the trap Cursed Crystal told me to lead them to
.•*•.•*•. .•*•.•*•.
When we got there, I smirked and pulled out a tranquilizer
Unfortunately, they noticed and slapped it right out of my hand
My smirk faded
"This was a trap??" Espresso demanded
"Yes, of course. Cursed Crystal wants to suck the magic right out of you and use it for himself. Not like it would've done much. The process would've killed you"
As soon as I finished talking, I got hit by a fireball on my cheek (omg burn mark lore)
"You PRICK. I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS. BUT I GUESS EVERYTHING WAS FUCKING WORTHLESS TO YOUR BACKSTABBING ASS" Espresso shouted
"Look, it's my duty to serve my master. You should understand. You worked for Dark Enchantress for a while" I said
I got kicked in the groin and slapped to the ground (dont mess with a coffee mage that has anger issues. they will beat your ass)
"ME WORKING FOR DARK ENCHANTRESS IN THE PAST HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS SHIT. I WOULDN'T HAVE BETRAYED A FRIEND FOR HER. YET, YOU BETRAYED ME FOR SOME INSIGNIFICANT KING" They yelled
"He isn't insignificant. He's done a lot for this kingdom. More than Pure Vanilla did" I said
"HE IS INSIGNIFICANT. AND DON'T FUCKING BRING PURE VANILLA INTO THIS. SHOW SOME DAMN SYMPATHY. NOBODY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. AND I ACTUALLY MISS HIM. HE WOULD NEVER EVEN DREAM OF MAKING ANYONE BETRAY ANYONE"
"Betrayal is normal, Espresso"
"OHH IT IS? THEN HOW'S THIS FOR BETRAYAL??"
They teleported away
Then they came back with a gift I made for them at some point
Next thing I knew, they threw it on the ground and made it shatter by blasting it with a beam
"I'M LEAVING THIS KINGDOM AND NEVER COMING BACK. YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT OUR STUPID FRIENDSHIP THAT YOU CLEARLY COULDN'T GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT. DON'T LOOK FOR ME, AND DON'T EVER TRY TALKING TO ME AGAIN" They shouted with a tone that sounded like they were holding back tears
Then they stormed off (500 likes and i'll say what happened right after they stormed off /hj)
I looked at the broken pieces on the ground
Then I shrugged, got up, and left
•·.·End of flashback·.·•
'They put on quite the show there'
'Oh well, none of that matters. Now, I'll actually succeed'
Once I was able to sneak inside of the lair, I noticed that I snuck into the throne room
'Perfect. I can do this quicker'
I activated the sleeping gas bomb, held my breath, and rolled it over to Espresso's throne
"What the fuck is this-" They said before passing out
I smirked, went over to their throne, grabbed them, and teleported out
