THIRD PERSON POV.

Solace.

At the moment, solace was all the royal could think about. Not only had she been bombarded with sessions, and meet-ups with Suguru but also the training with Sukuna was beginning to become too much.

It all made her wish that, she was just a child again seeing as she was becoming into the age of adolescence. The time flew by quickly yet the worst thing was to happen.

Y/n had never truly adored her parents, she always found herself thinking of their bond as bittersweet.

Her parents had recently been in the hospital about the incident of Y/n's power. They had no idea who the culprit was so the security was more tight than usual.

However, that was the least of her concerns despite the guilt she felt for putting them in the state they were in.

They were diagnosed with stomach bugs and a false sense of reality. Meaning a misguided or incorrect perception of truth or reality.

It affected her mother more so, whilst her father experienced the least bit of it. A slight migraine from here and there and also a stomach bug.

He was beginning to awake out of the false reality. As such, he decided it was time for me, to become empress sooner than the actual date that was said.

Hence this is when the pressure began. The rules changed rather unexpectedly.

You were denied food in which you only ate breakfast and a few fruits for dinner. If your body wasn't able to handle it, this caused nausea, headaches and even throwing up.

Not only that but the princess was to be in a tearoom, which was rather old and small as if it were a box.

She'd be there to learn how to pour out the tea, or alcoholic beverages for her husband-to-be. Suguru Getou. Even so, she was recently engaging in finance to handle money, economic decisions, and her husband's allowance.

The world hasn't been kind. Now that she was empress. It only seemed more distorted that the crime rate had heightened which meant more executions.

That was the one rule that couldn't be changed due to her father's power he demanded that, that one rule should stay. Sitting on a throne she spoke to some locals about problems in the kingdom, helping them, yet the criminals, were executed even if it was a petty crime.

The sight of heads on the floor, fingers being chopped off, even arms and legs in some cases. That was an image she could not unsee.

It all made her wonder, how did Sukuna find death this...amusing?

Yet now that she wants to be empress she has a bit more time to be mobile. But Getou was not who he seemed. Turns out, he wasn't as friendly as he portrayed himself. Recently at dinner when you both were speaking of, ways to better the kingdom, he brought up a curse, that needed to be exorcised.

It was sukuna, however, he hadn't done anything in a long time which seemed petty of Getou to even suggest. So you objected he seemed hesitant but agreed with your decision.

However, his aura seemed muddy in yellow color. That alone didn't sit right with you. Suguru's words felt like a lie.

Though when face to face with him, he seemed....annoyed but sarcastic as always. Arms folded under his chest, "Got empress title and it seems you've forgotten all of me." He spoke mockingly his tone coming off as snarky.

You shook your head not opening your arms to hug him, a smile on your face because you missed him so much. "No of course not, I'd never forget you, I missed you so much!" The royal chirped.

"You really should be careful though, some people are trying to put a bounty on you" you warned after a moment of thought. Sukuna chuckled "I'll be fine, and we'll be together regardless of that stupid arranged marriage you're in. Or maybe I should kill him to have you all to myself"

Sukuna rolled his eyes, he wasn't one for hugs but he didn't deny her. Two arms around her one on top of her hair rubbing the crown of it gently. "Yeah yeah, say, earlier a while back you said your birthday was coming up, specifically how long." The pink-haired curse asked.

The question seemed out of the blue considering the way he acted a while back when she first brought it up.  It couldn't mean any harm. "It's one more week," Y/n replied looking up at him with a slight pout.

For a brief moment, there was a devious expression on his face. His hand that was on her head shifted and squeezed her cheeks. "Then as a gift from me, I'll give you something you've never felt or enjoyed before maybe more. Sounds good?" His words only made her flustered, yet she was apprehensive.

It sounded..smooth the way he said it was so inviting. Almost seductive. The thought of it made her heart skip a beat.

A gift like that...sounded...foreign. Was it food? A trip? Through squished cheeks, she asked, "What is the gift?" She wondered yet she had an idea. Sukuna chuckled finding her cluelessness amusing. "The next step in our relationship, do you want to?"

This was rare that Sukuna was genuine about anything. Poor y/n's brain didn't seem to function. The expression on the maiden's face seemed shocked. It only made her partner want to laugh at her.

"Do you trust me? If you don't want to I don't care we don't have to." He shrugged and removed his hands off her pulling away from the hug and squeezing her cheeks.

Snapping out of it she shook her head "No, of course I trust you. That's just...I um...didn't expect you to say something like that." She laughed shyly rubbing the back of her neck.

Her cheeks nearly burned it felt embarrassing because she knew he noticed it by the way his eyes narrowed. Tugging at the sleeve of his white kimono,

"don't look at me like that or I'll take you home with me" he teased. However, he sounded serious you couldn't tell if he was truly joking because he was possessive.

Next chapter quote teaser, "I didn't know you were so eager to be a slut for me."
