The Royal Runt (Blackstar x Reader) [AU]

Chapter 17: Let It Go

[Blackstar's POV]

My last look of (y/n) was her silent sleeping face.

"You broke our rule. And now you've returned our child with an injury that may have cost her life ! Have I not told you of---"

Fuck this.

Why do kings and queens have to be this formal ? Does that make them more respectable ? No. It makes them more annoying. Imagine talking to someone who uses did not instead of didn't. And everything else that has the same stuff like that.

Annoying, right ?

Maybe this is part of the punishment.. Poor Tsubaki, having to stand this since she was young. At least she's dead now, though. She's finally in peace up there in the clouds.

After minutes, which felt like an hour, they had a change of words.

"Very well. Send him to the underground dungeon." The king said, a glare in his eyes. "Give him proper punishment."

From where I was standing, a butler approached. He had red eyes, but this isn't Soul. Soul was in his master's room. Hmm, I wonder what they're doing there...

Before I could even take a guess or bet they're secretly in love, the butler led me to the said dungeon. Apparently, there was a passage in the throne room... It was covered with a shelf full of fancy things. Smart move, none of their kids would be curious with that. Of course not ! It's the only shelf in the fucking throne room. Yes, it blends in so much.

The butler pushed the shelf with ease. Really, man ? He was thinner than my three fingers combined ! How the fuck did he do that ?

"This way, knight." The butler said. I stared at the wall. "That's a wall." I answered. "That's the way ?"

The butler didn't respond. He simply walked through the wall. That surprised me. But then, again, everyone in this house has magic abilities. Why should I be surprised ?

And this makes sense now. When there's a wall, there's a way. Who the hell replaced wall with will ? Damned idiots.

I entered, or rather, went through. I was expecting my face to hit the wall, but it just gave me a shiver that chilled my skin. Woah, it's so cold here.

I was suddenly in a tunned. The walls were filled with broken, moldy and old tiles. The floor was concrete, however...

The butler was way in front of me. I walked after him, still observing the place... I was fine with all the candles hanging at the walls, until I stepped on something that crunched.

I looked down, and... Saw a skull.

A skull. Yes.

No, not the one Kid uses for his mask. A real skull. I felt a chill run down my spine. Half literally, because it's cold. And half not. That is creepy, even for me. The skull was as old as time in my opinion since when I looked under my foot, all I saw was white dust. In short, I stomped the skull into dust.

Or maybe it's just me being so strong. Who knows ?

"Catch up, knight." The butler said with annoyance in his voice. I snorted, and walked faster. Oh, wait 'till I tell you stories, butler. I'm much more annoying that way.

In (y/n)'s accord.

(y/n)... I wonder if she's awake now...

The place grew colder and colder as we walked in deeper. I can feel my fingers numbing up by now. Either North Pole is our destination, and we're near, or it's just my sensitivity to cold.
