Chapter 24 The Purpose Of The Prince

(Goodnight from Undertale)

Sitting across from Eridan was his father. Dualscar wore an intense stare and a stoic expression, one that made Eridan hesitate to question him. Infact. That was the whole reason he was here. To question Dualscar. To question his father. Taking a moment to clear his throat Dualscar raised a brow expecting him to say something, he didn't exactly like the quiet game. "I-I havve a few questions dad." Dualscar nodded waiting impatiently. "Wwhy isn't Cronus...y'knoww...doing this too?" "You mean having an arranged matesprit?" "Yes." Dualscar let out a breathy sigh. "Because the Condesce chose you to carry out the royal bloodline. Fushia bloods and violet bloods have always been chosen to reproduce and carry out the royal bloodline in order to prevent it from being tainted by lower bloods. There are boundaries. It has been like this ever since the begining." Eridan nervously fiddled with his thumbs. "Are me and Fef related?" Dualscar huffed. "It is possible but very unlikely, we are not the only violet bloods. You were simply chosen out of all the violet bloods, not that there are many anymore. We're hunted. A dying breed, rare like the fushia bloods who are so few in number cannot be breeded together therefore to keep the bloodline of pure royal highblood, violet bloods are only to have fushia and violet blooded mates. The Empress chose you to carry out her bloodline and Feferi will bare your young. Do you understand lad?" Eridan swallowed the lump forming in his throat. "Bare my young?" Dualscar looked unsure. "You do know you will have to mate, correct? Looking at that bruise on your neck is say you're already off to a good start." Finishing his last sentence he couldn't help but chuckle a little. "Is it really that noticable?!" Eridan's expression screamed paranoia. "Don't worry lad, Emperor will suit you very well." "EMPEROR?!" Eridan shrieked, he couldn't be serious. "Yes." Letting out a few maddened and nervous chuckles Eridan got up with a fake grin. "I see wwell I havve some things to think about." The young violet blood got up and swam off. There was no way in hell he was doing this! He refused! He needed to speak with Sollux, be moved to his own separate little tank or something!

He could only pray that his true matesprit would save him, he didn't care if it would upset Feferi he wanted to be moved out of that tank! He wanted to be with Sollux and Sollux only! He was getting so fired up about this he was ready to scream it at the top of his lungs right in his father's face for crying out loud, if only he could without getting hit again. Boy oh boy did he know well that the poor skin of his cheek would be sent to the goddamn shadow relm after his father smacked him for spouting 'nonsense'. He wasn't giving up now and that was for damn sure, with an abrupt yet frighteningly possessive urge to be with his Sollux he stormed off in a blur through the water. He was determined to find some way, some how to be with Sollux forever. Though this urge the most frightening thing about it was that it was an odd gut quenching sensation. How strange. Perhaps he'd been away too long and needed to see him? Surely that must've been it, he couldn't possibly think of any other reason. Of course it is. He simply missed his Sollux and after getting so fired up, he needed to cool down for a bit in his comfort.

(Here you are, tada! Another update! It's also late of course just like everything else because once again I was busy and drifting through fields of depression hello dark- nope no memes I have to go to sleep. Thank you for reading :3)
