Your Highness (Gojo x Reader)

Chapter 21-Banquet II

"If what I've heard about the Banquet hall is true, you really out did yourself." You smiled and looked at your husband as several servants helped you with your dress. He nodded, and smiled softly at you. He wore a big suit, and went in front of you.

"Does my suit look odd?" It was the first time he had ever won a business suit, and you could tell, despite his harsh exterior, he was insecure.

You smiled softly. "I think it looks very handsome on you, Sukuna."

He looked at you dress as the servant women made the final touches. You hair was curled into a beautiful up-do, your face was covered in makeup, but it didn't cover any of the naturally beautiful details of your face. Your dress was a flowy gown, with a low cut top, but cinched around the waist. You smiled at him and he looked you over, before holding out his bottom right arm for you.

There was a light knock at the door.

Sukuna's face hardened, "permission to enter."

Uraume then walked in, and his face softened just slightly. "The majority of the guests have arrived."

Sukuna nodded, "I suppose we should take our place then...."

You put your hands on his arm as he led you out to the banquet hall.

As you were about to enter, a servant stood in front. He blew his trumpet, and raised his arm towards you, "Now presenting, his royal highness, and his lady, Emperor Ryomen Sukuna, and Empress Y/N!"

-------------------

Gojo's eyes burned into your dress as he watched you walk to the long table a step above the stage. You looked absolutely gorgeous. Your body was ordained so beautiful and the most expensive and beautiful dress he had ever seen. You hair looked so damn sexy, and your hard expression, he convinced himself, was you hating every moment with that demon king.

Itadori was quick to force Gojo's eyes away from you.

Shoko glared at Gojo and shook her head.

-------------------

You sat down, and noticed Utahime running towards you in some fancy heels, and a gorgeous mermaid fit dress. The red complimented her up-do which was complimented with a large, diamond, flower comb.

She took her seat next to you, with one large scroll on her arms.

"Is that my favorite poem?" You were quick to ask.

She shook her head, "It's a free verse I wrote after the dinner we had a couple weeks ago. What you said really inspired me."

Sukuna overheard and turned towards you two, "Your poems never cease to impress me. Truly my favorite poet of the modern age."

She smiled, "I'm glad you gave me a second chance and I took it. If I had never left the UFF, I would have never gotten into poetry."

Sukuna's lips barely upturned, only going noticed by you. "I as well."

"Your highness, it is time to start." Uraume tapped Sukuna's shoulder to which he nodded and stood up to address the crowd.

"Welcome my loyal subjects, to the Banquet of the Arts!" He spread his four arms with a smile as he spoke. "As a sorcerer from the Heian Era, an era of the arts, I have become quite a big enjoyer of all fine arts from around the world. So in order to share my enjoyment with my subjects, I have decided to create a new yearly tradition, which you are all attending now, The Banquet of the Arts. We have musical selections ranging from our Imperial elementary school, all the way to the Great Heian Orchestra at our very own college, along with several presentations of poetry, and art pieces which are shown around the Banquet hall, handpicked by me and my darling wife." He gestured to you, to which you smiled and waved.

"And of course, we will be ending the night with what I expect to be best performance of tonight, a brand new poem, by former Jujutsu Sorcerer who has so gratefully accepted the hand of mercy I extended towards her during my campaign to conquer Japan, Iori Utahime."

Utahime stood up and did a quick bow as everybody clapped for her.

As Utahime sat down, Sukuna attempted to read a small slip of paper, but couldn't. He handed it to you, and you stood up and whispered in his ear.

"Ah yes, thank you, Our first performance will be from the Imperial Elementary School, performing Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy.'" He nodded and sat down, as the orchestra began to get ready to play.

------------------

"Did you guys see that? He's having trouble reading. His vision is impaired." Yuta whispered to everybody.

Itadori ignored the table, all of whom were disguised, besides Shoko. He was busy staring Sukuna straight in the eyes.

------------------

As the orchestra began to play, Sukuna looked over to you.

You looked at him a bit worried.

"That Itadori brat is here. My eye is acting up and distracting me."

"It's best not to act now. You don't need the entire kingdom knowing you have the other six-eye." You spoke softly, and in a whisper. "Try and find him now, by just using cursed energy, then have one of the guards pull him aside after the banquet."

Sukuna nodded, and began scanning the crowd.

As he did, he noticed Yuji's glare. As soon as they made eye contact, they both looked away.

"Y/N, call a servant over, and tell them to retrieve the brat to the right of Shoko Leiri after the Banquet."

You nodded and did as he said.

"Done."

"Perfect, now we wait."

Maki whispered in Yuta's ear. "His bottom right eye is closed..."
