Yugo x Amalia

10

Panic coursed through every nerve in their bodies as they came face to face with the very topic of their conversation, who simply stood there looking unimpressed. "I take it you've heard the news." He says simply. "About Amalia I mean." The group nodded hesitantly, the panic wearing off as they remembered their objective. "Yes.." Yugo began, taking the lead. "And as I'm sure you know, we can't support you in your decision to marry off our friend." He states, looking up at Armand. Armand's eyes darken, though he had been expecting this. "Well I'm afraid it's not your decision. I'm doing this for the betterment of my country. When our father dies it will be useful to have a source of income to rely on." He says as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. Amalia grit her teeth. "Shut up... SHUT UP!!" She screams. "Shut the fuck up!! You don't give a damn about Dad do you?!? All you care about is being the goddamn king! God you're such a selfish asshole!" She shouted at him, a fury burning behind her beautiful green eyes. Armand's expression remained passive but his eyes met hers with a similar fury. "I am upset about father's current state but right now I under the stress of supporting a whole country and I do not have time for mourning." He says. His level tone only made Amalia's rage explode even further. "YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING DO YOU!? NOT DAD, NOT ME, YOU JUST WANT POWER AND MONEY DON'T YOU!?" She screamed, boiling hot tears sliding down her cheeks as she balled her fists, shaking as her nails dig into her palm hard enough to draw blood. Yugo could only watch. He knew he couldn't interfere. Armand seemed to grow furious at this, his face melting into a deep frown. "You ungrateful brat. I'm the only one who can take over now. If I weren't here this country would be underwater in seconds, seeing as though you are too childish to sacrifice yourself for it." He hisses, gritting his teeth. Amalia reeled back slightly. "I-I'm not- I'M NOT MARRYING SOMEONE JUST SO YOU CAN HAVE A LITTLE MORE CASH IN YOUR POCKET OKAY ASSHOLE?!" She screeched, shaking with fury. Armand quickly punches her in the face without warning. His fist connected with her jaw with a painful CRACK, sending her reeling, crashing to the floor. Her hand barely touched her jaw in silent surprise, the pain muddling her thoughts. Yugo immediately ran over to her, feeling a familiar rage boil up inside of him. "Amalia!" He exclaimed, kneeling down next to her. "Are you okay?" She didn't answer for a while, just sat there in silent disbelief as the tears rolled down her cheeks. "Y-ye-Yeah-Yeah I'm fine... just dandy...." She says, not looking at Yugo. She was still very pissed. Yugo immediately stood up. "How dare you." He snarled. "You have no right to touch Amalia! After all the sacrifices she's made for your country, her homeland, you have no right to talk to her like that, let alone strike her!" He shouted, fists clenched and shaking. "She's sacrificed everything for your country while you sat up here looking pretty and collecting cash. You have no right to speak to her that way!" Once again, Armand lost his composure and his face pulled into a deep scowl, his eyes blazing with rage. "Do not speak to me like that in my own country." He growls. "She is getting married and that is final, I won't discuss this any further." He tried to step past Yugo but the blonde eliatrope wouldn't allow it. He stepped in front of Armand, looking up at the taller man. "Too bad. I'm not letting you marry off Amalia for any reason." He growled. The group behind him was slightly astonished at his tone... they didn't think it was possible for him to be that aggressive. They hung back, each and every one of them shaking with anger and gritting their teeth.. but this was between Yugo, Amalia, and Armand right now.. They would step in only when absolutely necessary. "Move." Armand snarled. Yugo just stared him down, his bright blue eyes blazing with silent fury. "Make me." Those simple words were all it took to make Armand completely snap. He let out an angry shout and within seconds a green glow filled the room and thick vines were shooting towards Yugo at breakneck speed. Needless to say the prince, now king, was pissed. Yugo, having expected this, teleported away quickly, appearing just above Armand's head and swinging a kick at him which the sadidan blocked easily. Soon it was an all out brawl, the rest of the group watching in silent awe and horror. Amalia, her jaw still stinging and bruised, watched with her vision blurred by tears. "Yugo...." She whispered, wincing in pain as her jaw ached at the movement. The group wasn't sure what to do. Elely and Flopin were shouting excitedly and chanting, "Fight! Fight! Fight!" From the sidelines, itching to join in. The rest of the group watched, nervous and unsure as the two exchanged blows. It was a duel of sorts, they couldn't intervene. The two faced each other with fury raging through them, baring their teeth and claws like wild animals as they clashed. Amalia wasn't sure what to feel. "Yugo...."
