Chapter 2: Love Letters

(Just to give you a little warning, this has Bucky x Roman in this chapter and before a chapter that has romance, I will tell you the ship(s) that are in the chapter. Enjoy reading!)

                                 (Queen Isabel's POV)

I was just minding my own business, reading messages that one of my poets, Walter, has written whenever he went to the Southeast, where the Bukedora and the Zeltron Kingdom were fighting. Suddenly, I heard a bang occur outside my window, snapping me out of my daze. I opened the window to find a white cardinel flying outside of the window with a scroll in its talons. I reconized the bird to belong to King Bucky, who ruled the Noxus Kingdom. I took the big scroll from its talons as it landed on my shoulder as I read the message. It read, "Dear Queen Isabel, I've sent this message to every single one of the ally kingdoms and I have a serious problem occuring for my kingdom. During my battle up North, my only poet and my Sergeant Major were killed by the enemy kingdom, Bukedora. I need to ask you, I am in lockdown and I am in great need for a new poet and a perfect soldier to replace those remaining spots. Write back to me if you have your answer whenever you please. Hopefully, you have your answer sooner. -King Bucky Petrov the 1st of the Noxus Kingdom."  I didn't know that this has happened since none of my soldiers and none of my poets knew execpt one, Roman Wyatt. I did not notice him trying to tell me this because I was busy trying to control my own army. I thought, 'Wait a minute. I think I found the perfect poet for Bucky! He has told me he has a huge crush on him so, I have a feeling that this will be the perfect opportunity for him to get closer to him and actually get together. But there are rules to be followed. It says in the Legislation of Laws, Law #5 states that a royal cannot date a poet or a soldier. But, for him, I am willing to bend the rules for them to get together.' I then walked towards Roman's room to inform him of the news.

                                    (Roman's POV) (Bucky x Roman!)

I can't believe it. Bucky had to put his kingdom into lockdown just because of his poet and his best soldier dying at the hands of the Bukedora kingdom but the saddest thing was that Bucky has gotten more depressed than he was before. I grabbed a piece of paper and my favorite quill. I then sat at my desk roughly, opened the bottle of ink, dipped the tip of the quill into the black liquid, and started to write to him. The message said, 'Dear King Bucky of Noxus, I have heard of what horrible things you have been put through during your rein as king and I have also heard from the whispers from your people, including from your former poet, Augustus. You see, I was very good friends with Augustus and he informed me of your troubles of trying to find a love interest and that made me think, what should we do with that? I've got an answer for that problem. I can't believe I'm saying this but I have fallen for you HARD, Bucky. I have had these feelings for you for some time now and I know the law that is set. The law is that a royal cannot date a poet or a soldier. Lets just say I am a poet for one of the ally kingdoms of your own kingdom. But I'm not going to tell you which kingdom I belong to. That will be a little suprise for you to find out. Hopefully, I will be able to be YOUR new poet and I hope you will accept my feelings. - Roman Wyatt, Royal Poet for Queen Isabel.' I then rolled the letter to make a scroll, picked out a velvet ribbon, wrapped it around the middle and stuck a spade made out of wax onto the middle of the ribbon. I then kissed it and held it to my chest, my soul beat going a mile a minute. I couldn't get Bucky out of my head. His dark pink hair, his royal-red eyes, the menacing scar across his face, EVERYTHING. I sat at my desk, daydreaming about how my future would look like if me and HIM were together. 

Suddenly, the door swung open, snapping me out of my thoughts and paying my attention to the person who entered my room. It was Queen Isabel! I rushed over to her, bowing before asking why she had bombarded into my room so suddenly. She answered, "I have just recieved a letter from King Bucky! You finally have a chance to meet him in person!! A chance to get together with him!" I looked at her, happy about the news that I have just recieved about being able to see him after so long. I then hugged her, bursting with joy. She then grabbed me by the hand and pulled me into the dressing room. She softly let go, trying not to hurt me and told me to go change into whatever I like. She's is the nicest woman I've ever met and the reason why is that she is my adopted mother. When I was only a baby, I was abandonded by my parents in the forest nearby, leaving me to starve and die until she heard me crying nearby and decided to take me in and raise me as her son. Even when I came out as gay to her, she still excepted me as who I was. When I started to show her that I had interest in writing and how I wanted to be a poet, she taught me how to be a poet and how to fight against people while delivering messages. I learned more quicker than the others over the years and became one of her top poets in the kingdom. I turned to her and asked her, "Wait. Mom, does this mean you get to take me there?"  She then put a hand on my shoulder as she said, "Indeed, I will have to take you there. But, you'll have to be accompanied with soldiers to make sure you are not killed by the Bukedora soldiers on the way there and I know just the kingdom to sent soldiers with you." I looked at her in confusion, wondering which kingdom she was talking about. Then, it hit me. It hit me harder than a freight train. She was talking about the kingdom that was closest to us, the Ozul Kingdom. She then ran to write a letter to the King of the Ozul Kingdom, King Draven. Once she had finished, she started to pack all of my things and helped pick out the best clothes to put on. 

                                              *20 Minutes Later*

Once we finished packing and once I had gotten all freshened up, we heard a knock at the castle doors. Isabel grabbed my hand, pulled a knife from her dress, and walked to the door, grabbing ahold of the knob. She opened the door quickly and pointed the knife at the person in front of her. But, a voice she knew spoke in front of her, "Woah there, Isabel. Watch who you're point that knife at." She opened her eyes and saw who it was. It was King Draven! She lowered the knife and hugged him. He then told her, "I received the letter you sent me. And I have the perfect soldier to protect you." He then stepped aside and the soldier that he was talking about stood in front of them, at attention. The soldier was a female, ash-black colored hellhound with blood-red horns and large wings. She also had a tail that started out as a regular wolf tail but when it reached the end of the tail was a dark red devil tail. She had yellow eyes with a orange iris and a slit pupil, staring forward, waiting to be given orders. "This is Cadet ShadowWolf. ShadowWolf, help them into the car." She then bowed and said, "Right this way, your majesty." Me and Isabel walked to the car and got into it. The velvet seat felt comfortable and I rested easy as the car suddenly moved forward, heading towards King Bucky's castle.
