Your Heart is My Kingdom

Dire Situations

Her heart feeling like it'd been jabbed at till it was worn and squeezed out, Duchess Wildflower darted like a bullet ahead of Duke Gold to fly down to the ending Heir Naming Festival.

And the Kingdoms, they're in danger. But there are many rogues around...which one? Toothless said it was a she, and implicated that she used to be of a Kingdom.

"You OK, Duchess Wildflower?" Duke Gold placed his left wing on her right. "You had fun mating, didn't you?"

"I did." Duchess Wildflower's voice was shaky. "But I had a dream that...a rogue would destroy the Kingdoms."

"A dream? Destroyed?!" Duke Gold looked startled. "Y-You sure?!"

"Toothless told me!" Duchess Wildflower gave Duke Gold no time as she folded her wings and dived towards the castle of dead trees. She stopped when she saw Servant Astrid cradling Princess Cuttlefish.

"She was crying and waking up her brothers." Servant Astrid explained. "Queen Otter told me too-"

"I need to see her, the Kingdoms are in jeopardy." Duchess Wildflower cried. "Can you bring her?"

Servant Astrid disappeared and reappeared with Queen Otter holding Princess Cuttlefish.

"What?!" Queen Otter growled. "Both you and Duke Gold need to speak with me?! This better be important."

"It is." Duchess Wildflower said firmly. "Toothless visited me in a dream and told me a female rogue would destroy the Kingdoms and that she would start with her own! What should we do?!"

"...Go."

"What?!" Duchess Wildflower gasped.

"A female rogue you say?" Queen Otter snarled. "From her own Kingdom? Are you trying to threaten me?! It's clearly you trying to scare me by saying you're going to become a rogue and destroy the Kingdoms and what not! GET OUT!"

Queen Otter dropped her crying daughter and arched her back and hissed at the stunned Noivern.

"NO! Duke Gold, help me!" Duchess Wildflower cried. Duke Gold stood there.

"Help you? Why? The Queen is feeling that you are a threat, you need to go."

Duchess Wildflower was horrified, the same Pokémon that she let do away with her was now siding with the Queen in her banishment.

"You are no longer Duchess." Queen Otter hissed. "You are relieved of your duties!"

Wildflower looked around what used to be her Kingdom, a feeling of dread and darkness overwhelmed her.

I'm done, it's all been stripped away from me, I need to go.

She lifted her wings and felt a horrible feeling. Her heart ached and her mind screamed. She finally managed her footing and took off.

...

"Queen Fallow, your mate has been dead for two weeks now, you need to leave the castle."

"NO!" Queen Fallow stomped her hoof at the Herdier pleading to her.

"You've never liked living in a tall tree anyway!" the Herdier protested.

"Servant Terrier." Queen Fallow snapped. "You are relieved of your du-"

"That's not in your control, Mother."

Queen Fallow looked at her bold son, Prince Arnold.

"The wedding is in two weeks, and you will be officially relieved of your duties." Prince Arnold hissed. "Technically, I'm King now."

"No you're not!" Queen Fallow stormed off. "Fine! Have your dumb castle to yourself, you guys still have to plan which castle is which and the territories and that."

"It'll be this tree, of course. I'm sure she's tired of being in that old tree!" Prince Arnold purred. "Soon I'll be King Arnold to her Queen Ruby, and you'll be Fallow for once!"

Queen Fallow's eye twitched as she left for real to the Buck Unit area.

Prince Arnold then strutted proudly to his castle.

It'll all be mine, killing my little brother and then my father was so worth it!

He then felt icy claws sink into his shoulders and yank him back. He fell thrashing and screaming.

"Do you remember me?" the voice snarled before he went limp.

...

"We have to find Katty! We need to watch out for her!"

Soren flew frantically, his dearest Katty had been missing for five hours now. Fritz looked slightly stressed at his friend's frantic actions.

"She must have gone hunting or something!" Fritz called. "Wait!"

Fritz tried to calm his friend down, but he looked above Fritz and gasped.

"Run Fritz! RUN!" Soren gasped.

"What are you-"

Fritz felt his whole body being lifted in the air and felt himself pinned to the earth. He shook and turned to see a wild-eyed Noivern pinning him.

"Who, Princess Katty?!" the Noivern hissed. "She's a rogue now?! Bring her to me!"

Fritz felt conflicted by her slender figure and beautiful eyes countered with her sharp teeth and angry bark. He shrunk back.

"Her name is just Katty." Fritz whimpered. "And she-"

"Is back with the Prince of the Run-of-the-Mill Kingdom! Kidnapped by yours truly!"

Soren, Fritz, and the Noivern all looked at Katty as she dragged an unconscious Deerling in her jaws.

"Who are you, have I seen you before?" Katty meowed. The Noivern leaped with strength and grace and pinned her.

"I am Wildflower. Former Duchess of the Deadly Kingdom." the Noivern hissed. "Wait, is this the Prince?! OF THE KINGDOM?! THAT'S ABOUT TO HOLD A MARRIAGE?!"

"Yes..." Katty mumbled. Wildflower tripped and fell, she got up and looked horrified.

She then looked at Prince Arnold's body breathing, but barely. Her heart stopped.

"Holy Legends, what have you done?" Wildflower gasped.

...

A Pokémon shadow appeared inside the castle of the Deadly Kingdom. It walked around and finally stopped at the room of Queen Otter's children. It crawled inside and brushed the Princess's fur with one of its fingers.

It lifted its hand and felt the Buizel hair fly off into the soft wind. It scowled and looked back down at the Heirs of the Deadly Kingdom.

"Truly living the life they do not deserve" the voice whispered. "It's only a matter of time."
