Every King Needs a Queen (Zalgo X reader)

Chapter 27

Your POV

I looked back up to see him storm off. I looked around and realized I was in a hallway inside a dark mansion. His by the portraits on the walls. Many of which show him as a human in medieval times. Those portraits were ripped and destroyed. I stood up and walks down the hallway to see more. The first showed him like he was a king. The next showed him a bit older and with darker skin and blackening hair. The next was too destroyed to make out. The next was distorted, but it showed him growing horns out of his head and he seemed that he has seen battle. The background was almost hellish. The next showed him in his full form, his Creepypasta form. His black skin had red mouth-like holes. His eyes were red with black irises. His horns were spiked. I stared at this portrait for a while. This one was not destroyed in anyway.

"Curious on what happened?"

I jumped and turned around to see Zalgo looking down at me. He was in his CP form.

"I was a king of a great empire. I made a mistake that cost me my kingdom."

I was quiet.

"I said to have fallen for a witch many years ago. This witch felt the same way back, soon I saw through her lies and saw she only wanted to be queen. I immediately had her killed. But she put a curse on me that every 6 years, I would become more like the monster I was inside. My kingdom fell into hell and soon...everything I had...had burned to the ground. It was a picture right out of hell and I had started it. I killed my people with these claws..." He paused. "I later learned that the witch had a daughter. I vowed to kill the girl myself, but I then lost my kingdom...and my will to live with it..." He looked at me. "You look like the witch I have fallen for all those years ago. The witch was the first of the Oracles. You are the witch's descendant."

My eyes widened. "Y-you're going to kill me?!"

He sighs. "I can't not kill another Oracle. My guilt is too much for me to kill you." He kneels down to me. "I killed one witch and it cost me everything I had. I built my new, immortal kingdom to try again. I just want to be forgiven by the descendant of that witch. So...do you forgive me?"
