Possess Me (Yandere princes x princess!reader x Yandere King)

Chapter 12

I laid on the bed, sighing. The fleur de lis on my bed was normal, a shimmering gold and the patterns on my ceiling were as normal as they could be. Nothing had changed; apart from everything. I shut my eyes shuddering softly as i tried to find some remnant of what happened in here. How could someone do that to such a kind woman?

With a sigh, i stepped out of my bed, walking to my vanity before pulling out a pile of lined paper and a quill. I started to make notes, what i knew, what i didn't and who could possibly be the killer. The thought struck me for a moment.

As gruesome as what happened was, there were two different kinds of wounds on her: smooth and professional and then jagged and monstrous. Maybe there were two killers? I noted that down and gulped, encircling the names of my main suspects. Duci and Miklos, the beastly twins of the Ruskanan empire.

A knock rapped on my door, as i shot up in shock. I turned to the window. The moon was high in the sky, and all of the fires in the courtyard had been put out. It was the wee hours of the morning, who would be at the door? Tugging a dressing gown over my nightdress, i opened the door slightly, primes to scream. the door creaked at the effort.My pulse raced when i saw him, my knees aching to shake and quiver.

"I'm sorry to have disturbed you, Princess, but we need to speak..." he whispered, his sharp blue eyes locking with mine. I stepped aside, a blush rushing to my face. "Of course... I didn't expect it to be you.. what are you doing up so late?"

"I couldn't risk anybody overhearing what I'm going to say." He stepped in, head down. I shut the door after him and braced myself against it. He wasn't dressed in his usual knightly attire. he just wore a loose tunic-shirt that you'd see on any young man outside, a tight pair of tousers beneath, and lng boots. he could easily pass as just any young man, in the street and nobody would know his high status and ties to royalty. I smiled softly, imagining one day we could live our lives together, in a small cottage by a lake perfectly content with our lives together.

I looked into his eyes, anticipation pulsing through my veins. "I want to run away with you." he said, firmly. "We joked about it as children, but now you're in tangible danger. If i can get you to the safety of a town, the guards can run their investigations without fear of the killer causing you harm. We'd say you locked yourself in your room and refused to come out as a cover..."

I gulped softly, raising my hand to my heart. I could feel my pulse, thudding against my hand. "And where would we go? Is there anywhere truly safe whilst the killer is out there?" I sighed, looking up at the love of my life. "Come look at this." I whispered, leading him to my vanity and the spread out, messy papers full of various details on the murder of my friend. His eyes widened as he looked down, reading through them all. "You're investigating on your own? Princess, that's a dangerous idea." I looked into his eyes, trying my best to assume my mother's natural firm stance. "I'm not letting them get away with killing my friend. Even if i have to marry the devil himself, i will get Helga justice." Alex sighed, his hand snatching up mine tightly. "Princess, you're endangering yourself. Please, I beg of you... don't see them anymore. Let me investigate this, and let me evacuate you until you're safe."

"I can't let this go." i shook my head, looking down at our clasped hands.

"I'm not asking you to." Alex sighed, his warm grip squeezing for a moment. "I don't want to forcefully evacuate you, but I will if you do not stop endangering yourself. I'll arrest you if i have to!"

"What for?" I exclaimed.

"Obstruction of justice." Alex's eyes were astute, focused as they narrowed down at me. "The more i worry about you, the less I can focus on these killers. I care too much for you to let them hurt you..." He whispered, bringing his other hand up to my cheek, trailing his knuckle along my jawline. My body ached at his touch, as i leaned into his hand. "You care for me?"

"More than a guard should care for his princess..." He said softly, his breath tickling my cheeks as his face got closer and closer to me. "Does anybody know of this?" I whispered, so desperate to encase my lips in his. "Nobody knows I'm here... everyone can read my affection for you. It would be wrong for me to kiss you, to hold you, to treat you like a woman because... I'd be taking advantage of you... I'd never want to do that." "You're not taking advantage... if i kiss you first." I whispered, my boldness making me shiver.

I touched my hand to his cheek before gently lifting my lips to his, letting my soft lips caress his cold, dry ones. His hands settled at my hips, his lips moving against mine in an enticing rhythm I couldn't seem to ignore.

With a whimper, i looked up at him, pulling away for a moment. "Will anyone ever find out?" i whispered, as he took the opportunity to ravish my neck with kisses. "Not unless you tell them... Y/n, i need to ask you," he pulled back, licking his lips anxiously."When this investigation is over... will you marry me?" he gulped, kissing along my jawline. My mind fuzzed with various thoughts, and i found myself nodding along. "Only once Helga's killer is found..."

"As if i needed any more motivation to find her killer." he chuckled, black hair tickling against my neck as he swiftly picked me up, wrapping my legs around his waist, and laid me on the bed, his body in top of me. "Are you sure you want this? Are you sure you want me?" he whispered, loosening the lace at the top of his shirt. "I've never been more sure of anything, Alexander..."

"Funny," he smiled, enrapturing my lips in a kiss once more. "nor have I."

My heartbeat raced as we indulged in our desire, tempting ourselves with each other and making our hearts and minds burn with ecstasy. I never knew i needed him that way, but god, I'll never forget it now.
