King of Hearts [Len x Reader]

Chapter 2

  The prince took the gag off my mouth, much to my surprise

    "I...." nothing else came out, I looked around the supposed throne room, (considering the throne, and the young prince standing before me.) My (e/c) eyes landed on a frail Gumi, huddling close to Hiyama. They looked at me sadly. So this is what the prince does to his servants.

 He let out a chuckle, turning his attention to me. "Don't worry, ____, you wont end up like them."    

I looked at him confused "Wha-" He cut me off, making a 'tsk' sound.

"You will enjoy your stay here, pet."

"Pet?!" 

He laughed again, his smile making me feel safe-ish, but I shouldn't be. This is the man who is abusing Gumi and Hiyama, he helped me off the ground, as Gumi and Hiyama conversed between themselves.

   "GUMI!' He shouted, Gumi quickly ran to us. "Get (y/n) a better dress."

"Y-yes, milord."

"Was that a stutter?"

"No, milord." Her green bangs hung over her red cheeks. Hiyama looked over to her in worry. 

I closed my eyes tight as the prince slapped her, causing her to drop to the floor. Hiyama ran over, helping her up. 

"I suppose there shall be no more stuttering?" He questioned.

She nodded, turning her face to look up at him. 

   Like Hiyama, her face was completely red, with a bunch of scars under her green eyes. Hiyama's brunette hair was messy, and they both had on servants clothing. Hiyama, a normal red outfit, with card numbers on it. Ace. Gumi was the same, except she was 7 diamonds. This must've been how the prince kept track of the serfs. 

 "P-prince..." I coughed out.

His gaze of anger softened, looking towards me. "Please, dear, call me Len."

This dastard, being nice to me while he brutally beat my friends.

"Len.... M-maybe you could... er..."

He raised an eyebrow

"Not hurt them?"

He laughed, taking my arm.  "Dear, you do have a sense of humor!"

I sighed. He wasn't going to listen. 

Hiyama shook his head at me, grabbing Gumi's hand as they ran back to the upstairs part of the castle.

"That maid will get you a proper dress." 

I nodded, frowning slightly.

He pecked my cheek, leading me off into another room.

Please, god, don't let me or Gumi or Hiyama die in this castle.
