Forced Union

Hanji struggled against him as Zeke began to bind her to the chair. Zeke tightly bound her wrists together behind the back of the chair and then looped rope around her torso, specifically above and below her breasts, securing her to the chair.

"Much better," Zeke said with a grin.

"I wouldn't run...you had no need to do this," Hanji replied.

"Did you not listen to what I said earlier?" Zeke said.

Hanji looked to the side.

"Oh! I almost forgot," Zeke said.

He grabbed a piece of cloth and tied it over Hanji's lips.

"There, now it's perfect," Zeke taunted.

"Helpless and in my control."

Hanji looked down. Zeke returned to his desk. He did more paperwork for a while before stopping.

"Now, to spend a little more...personal time with my bride," Zeke said as he walked over to Hanji.

She refused to look at him. Zeke grabbed her chin and lifted her face up towards him.

"You will have to accept that this is your life now," he said.

Hanji narrowed her eyes at him.

"I want to get to know your body a little better," Zeke said with a grin.

He knelt in front of her. Hanji's eyes went wide feeling his hand on her calf. She struggled as she he moved his hand up higher.

"Shhh, easy now," Zeke said.

"I'm not going to do anything bad."

He began to push her dress up, revealing her bare thigh as his hand moved higher and higher. It was getting way too close for comfort. Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"What?" Zeke hissed, not happy he was interrupted.

"Someone is here you need to speak with," a soldier said.

"I'm busy. Come back later," Zeke replied, his hand now resting on Hanji's exposed hip.

"Sir, the priest has arrived," a soldier said.

"Ah, good! In that case I'll be right out," Zeke replied.

He removed his hands from Hanji and stood up.

"We'll continue another time Hanji," Zeke said.

"I will have your servant women come get you and take you back to your room."

Zeke grabbed her chin and forcefully kissed her through the cloth over her lips. Hanji tried to pull away but Zeke held her face still. Shortly after, he pulled away, a grin spreading across his lips. Hanji looked away feeling ashamed.

"See you later Hanji," Zeke said

With that he left...

A day later-

Hanji sat in her room. It was the wedding day. A day that should be happy and full of love. Not for her...all she felt was sadness and heartache.

"Commander, it...it's time to get ready," Sasha said, walking up to her.

Hanji sniffled and just nodded in reply. Sasha hugged her tightly.

"We'll find a way to free you from this..." Sasha said.

"That...that won't happen but I appreciate the thought," Hanji replied.

"I have to accept that this is where I will be for the rest of my life and that...I-I failed the Scouts..."

"You did not fail us," Ana said.

"You're doing this for us, to protect us."

"It doesn't feel like that..." Hanji replied softly.

"I feel lost and like a failure."

There was a pounding on the door.

"Hurry it up! The War Chief doesn't like to wait." A male voice said.

Hanji stood up. She was dressed in an elegant, white wedding gown with a matching white lace eyepatch and two white flowers in her hair. A Marleyan soldier walked in.

"You two, out." He ordered.

"W-we're supposed to be helping her get ready," Sasha said.

"Are you disobeying girl?" the soldier asked.

"N-no! But it's just..." Sasha replied.

The solider raised his hand. 'SLAP'. Sasha was surprised she didn't feel any pain. Upon opening her eyes, she realized Hanji had gotten in front of her and taken the blow.

"You may be the one in charge here. But I will not let you hurt them," Hanji said.

The soldier narrowed his eyes.

"Bold move," he said.

"However, I cannot punish you."

He looked at Sasha and Ana.

"Get out or else Zeke will not be pleased," the soldier said.

Sasha and Ana quickly left. The soldier turned his attention towards Hanji. He grabbed her wrist and yanked her close to him.

"I would love to punish you, but Zeke would not be happy," he said as he began to tightly tie a white thick ribbon around her wrists.

"So, I will just enjoy watching you suffer instead."
