Kingdom of Possession (Yandere King x Reader)

Chapter 3: Your Arrival

You groggily opened your eyes to find yourself in some kind of medieval chamber. It had all the normal items of a bedroom--bed, nightstand, mirror, wardrobe, a connecting bathroom, etc.--except it looked as if your room belonged in a 13th century castle. A giant blue and gold area rug covered most of the floor, which was made from old grey stone. The walls matched the floors, with grey stone as the background and blue, red, and gold drapes strung across the walls to add color. Your bed had a canopy of white and gold cloth hanging above it, and a suit of armor stood in the corner of the room. Your spirits lifted as you considered the possibility that the suit was holding a weapon, but, to your disappointment, its hands were empty. The suit itself didn't even look sharp or heavy enough to really be used as a weapon.

Unable to do anything else, you lifted yourself off the bed, still a little light headed from the drugs that were used to knock you out. First you tried rattling the doorknob to see if it was unlocked; as expected, it was locked tightly and wouldn't budge. You grumbled curses under your breath. You looked around the room for any other exits, and your face lit up as your (e/c) eyes fell on the arched window on the other side of the room. As you made your way over to the window, you realized that the reason why your room looked like it belonged in a 13th century castle...was because it was a room in a 13th century castle.

You looked down to see at least a ten story drop into the dark water of the moat surrounding the castle. The walls of the castle were the same grey color as your room's walls and floor, except more worn from weather. As you looked out into the horizon, you could make out the faint outline of towering metal gates. You couldn't tell exactly from your room, but you guessed the gates must be at least two stories tall. Off to the right of the castle stood a large building that resembled a barn, except much bigger and...more burnt? You quizzically studied the charred sections of the outside of the barn, wondering what had caused the black scorch marks. They looked eerily similar to the marks left by the explosion at your school. Off to the left you saw a spacious cottage of some sort. You saw the faint outline of people walking from the cottage to the castle. Squinting to get a better look, you noticed that the people were holding trays of dirty dishes and baskets of clothing. You realized that they must be the kingdom's servants.

This thought snapped you back into reality. That was going to be you...you had been taken from your home, your family, your friends, and would be forced to work here in this unknown realm for who knows how long. Maybe forever? What scared you the most was that you had no idea where you were, so even if you could get help, you wouldn't know where to go or how to direct rescuers to your location. Were you in a different country? A different continent? A different planet? Everything looked so foreign and archaic to you; how had you never heard about this place before?

You heard a light knock on the door and your eyes grew in terror. Who could that be?! Was it Sir Byron here to take you away again? Or the infamous prince himself? Or something worse? Although, you couldn't think of anything that could be worse in your current situation.

You heard the person outside your door knock again, and this time you decided to answer it. "H-hello?" you whispered, your voice hoarse and nearly inaudible.

However, the person knocking must have heard it, because they replied, "Miss, I'm here to bring you your new clothes. May I come in?"

You stared at the door suspiciously. New clothes? This couldn't be good. You didn't want knew clothes; you wanted to keep wearing your skinny jeans and favorite (f/c) top that you were currently wearing. Your clothes were the only think that you had left of home at this point.

"I don't need new clothes. I'm fine with the ones I have now," you replied to the voice.

The person on the other side of the door was silent for a few seconds, then she continued. "I'm sorry, Miss, but you really have to change into these clothes. The Presentation will be held shortly."
