My King (Noctis X Reader)

Chapter 1

"Your Highness!" Drautos, the captain of the Kingsglaive, calls out to Prince Noctis and his escorts while King Regis quickly walks down the front steps to his palace without us.

This is the land of Eos, and King Regis and Prince Noctis rule the city of Insomnia and our country, Lucis. Today, the prince is going to Altissia, a foreign land, to marry the Oracle, Lady Lunafreya. While he's gone, King Regis will be here signing a peace treaty with Niflheim, the enemy of Lucis. Noctis and Lunafreya's marriage will be the symbol of this coming peace.

However, everyone who works for King Regis knows the truth. Niflheim does not want a ceasefire. They just want to attack the Citadel from within after the King lowers our cities defenses. Why the King would allow this to happen, no one knows. The Kingsglaive, an elite group of soldiers, have been preparing for this attack for weeks now. I am one of those elite soldiers.

Originally, I was assigned to help escort Lady Lunafreya to King Regis to obtain the Ring of the Lucii. Then I'd help her escape safely. However, the King started to feel paranoid. He knew the empire would be hunting Noct, so they reassigned me to escort the prince. Prince Noctis and his three Crownsguards are the only ones who don't know about any of this. They believe the ceasefire is real.

"Y/N" I snap out of my train of thought and see King Regis motioning his hand for me to come forward. I look over at my captain nervously. He nods his head and I walk towards his Majesty with my arms behind my back my head held high with confidence. I stop in front of the Prince, place my right hand over my heart and bow.

"Your Highness," I say as politely as possible. I straighten my back and see all four men look at me with mild confusion.

I had never actually met the Prince before, and his appearance certainly catches me off guard. He has spiky black hair and beautiful blue eyes. I see he's wearing a Crownsguards outfit. A long black jacket over a black t-shirt littered with mini skulls. He also has black cropped jeans and black boots. He has a black motorcycle glovelet on his left hand.

"This is Y/N L/N. I've asked her to go with you boys to Altissia" King Regis explains. All of them look even more confused and unhappy especially Noctis.

I feel humiliated as I try to remember how to speak, "I-it's nice to finally meet you,"

Noct raises an eyebrow at me for a split second and then ignores me, "Why?" Prince Noctis asks, "I think the four of us will be fine on our own."

"I just want to make sure you get there." says his father. He gives Noctis a serious look, probably hoping it will keep him from arguing. Noctis rolls his eyes. He seems unhappy with this arrangement. I try to stay as professional and as cool as possible.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will not get in your way." He does not respond. One of the three men from before motions his head for me to come with him and the other two towards a beautiful, jet black roofless car, while the King and his son continue to talk. I walk towards the vehicle with my hands still behind me.

The man turns to face me and I'm shocked to see that he looked pretty professional for a Crownsguard. He wears a purple and black button up under a black suit jacket, black jeans, and dress shoes. He seemed pretty smart, but not much of a fighter. I wonder if he can really hold his own.

"Hello," he says. His voice catches me off guard. He has a very strong British accent that makes him seem even more mature than he already did. "I am Noctis' royal adviser, Ignis Scientia. I believe I caught your name is Y/N." He holds a gloved hand out to me. Well, now it makes sense why he looked so professional.

"Yes, nice to meet you, Ignis." I say as I shake his hand. His expression does not change as he shakes my hand and motions to the other two men.

"That is Noctis' friend, Prompto Argentum." He points to a blonde, slender man playing on his phone in the passenger seat of the Regalia. His black knuckle gloves, black t-shirt and sleeveless jacket makes him look like a bit of a punk.

"And that is Noctis' royal shield, Gladiolus Amicitia, but you may call him Gladio." I look over to see an even taller man with a large build leaning on the hood of the car with his arms crossed. He was facing away from us and seemed deep in thought. He wears a black leather jacket with no shirt underneath. He had a small arm sleeve on his left wrist and one long bird tattoo stretched across his body and covered both his arms.

"Alright, let's get out of here." Noctis walks up behind me looking rather annoyed by the situation. I open the left door of the back seat for him and I once again bow with my hand over my heart.

"Here you go, Your Highness."

He scoffs and pulls the car door roughly out of my hands, "It's Noct. If your gonna go with us then you need to drop that 'Your Highness' crap." He gets into the Regalia and slams the door shut. I just step back a little confused, shocked, and humiliated.

"Hey, Glaive" Gladio's rough voice makes me jump a little, "you get in between me and Noct." I swallow the lump in my throat and hesitantly walk over to the right side of the vehicle. I'm normally very composed and fearless, but something about these guys makes me feel very intimidated and uncomfortable. I suppose I was expecting something... different?

I slide down to the middle seat and we head out. It's awkwardly silent for a long time until Gladio speaks up. I had expected him to start making small talk, but he just gets straight to the point.

"So, why would King Regis send a Glaive with us?" Gladio asks suspiciously. I knew the reason why but was authorized not to tell them. There's no doubt they'd stay here where it's not safe.

"I'm not sure." I lie and hope they won't notice the uneasiness in my voice. Noct scoffed.

"I guess Dad really doesn't trust me then. We're just going to Altissia." I watch Noct as he places his elbow against the car door and rests his head in his hand, watching the car zoom past all the buildings.

"Yea. I don't think we really need a Glaive to come with us." Gladio said. I felt a bit uncomfortable. All of them seemed to be unhappy about my presence.

"Don't be so rude," Ignis scolded.

Noct scoffs again, "Whatever," he mumbles. I just stare down at my hands in my lap.

This wasn't going to work out at all.
