The relaxed lifestyle that once reigned on Planet Pop Star had turned into a much more work-oriented one, controlled by a tyrant who couldn't be defeated, not even by Kirby, the planet's greatest hero and hope.
Every single inhabitant now had a job. The planet was filled with shops that sold any kind of goods and factories that produced many different products: all of them were owned by the king. However, he took this decision to be able to rightfully redistribute richness, as he couldn't stand splitting the society into classes where owners of industries would exploit the labor of the poorer.
Y/N, who had been living on the planet for just a few years, witnessed this extreme change. She wasn't a rebel who opposed the system, as she thought that only people unhappy with being unable to get rich and have capitalistic properties were trying to manifest.One day, the young puffball was working her shift in a small shop near the castle, when she was interrupted by a high-pitched voice.
"... I ordered a book some days ago."
Y/N turned her head away from the shelves she was filling to see a small winged violet figure sporting a hat and a heavy pendant; the girl was shocked to see Marx, the king himself in that humble shop that felt more empty and silent than usual.
She collected her thoughts and quickly went on the shop's laptop to check the status of the small king's order.
"W-well... I'm sorry to tell You that Your order has been delayed due to difficulties in contacting the dimension where it's being sent from. I hope that You understand; my colleagues and I will do our best to ensure that You receive Your order as soon as possible." she said in a low tone of voice, almost shaking at the thought that the king might've executed her publicly. He had people-oriented ideologies but he wasn't very kind or patient when it came to rebels and those who didn't comply to his orders perfectly.
"Huh!? How the hell did we lose contacts with Halcandra?" asked rethorically the king, with irritation in his voice.
"I... I personally come from Halcandra and I can assure You that sometimes our connections with other planets and dimensions can get pretty unstable."
Marx froze at Y/N's statement. He was surprised to hear that one of his subjects came from Halcandra. He stood still and stared at the puffball with a piercing look from his static eyes.
She stayed mute, unable to say a word while visibly shaking: she thought her time had come.
After some minutes that felt like eons, the king finally spoke in a much softer tone of voice: "That sounds interesting... a friend of mine comes from that dimension, too."
"O-oh.."
"Ohoh. I would absolutely need someone like you at my castle. Someone who can tell me about other dimensions... I want you to tell me literally everything you know about Halcandra."
Y/N wasn't very excited about Marx's offer. Rumours said he was pretty crazy and some considered him a total psychopath. But did she really have a choice?It was a cozy evening: the stars were just starting to shine and the soft breeze that rose from the sea delighted workers who had just finished their shift and were heading back home to rest and dream of a new day.
Minutes after Y/N got home, the royal guards came to escort her to the king's castle. She wasn't too happy, but, deep inside, she was pretty excited to start a new life as Marx's closest servant.
The walk to the castle allowed the puffball to see the sea at the horizon. She thought about life's endless possibilities and the fact that she, amongst all, was chosen to fullfill such an important role.
As they got to the castle, the guards escorted Y/N to her room: a huge space with tons of books and a pretty bed. Just as the puffball was starting to get sleepy, she heard someone knock on the door furiously.
"W-who's there? Come in..."
The king burst through the door.
"Is the room of your liking?"
"It... it sure is."
"Good. Now. As for your job. I demand you to tell me anything you know about Halcandra, ranging from history to legends. The motivation is simple. I need to know everything about dimensions I might... wanna pay a visit to in the future." the king explained, then winked while saying his last sentence.
"I will surely comply to your commands, my king." replied Y/N while bowing.
There was something in the puffball's voice and manners that really made her interesting in the eyes of the king. He couldn't put his finger on it, but he knew he was probably going to like his new servant really much.
"Fantastic, I already like you. Hahaha!" exclaimed Marx with a smirk before leaving the room to let the girl sleep.
Y/N felt a little heat rise to her cheeks.The day after, Y/N was woken up by one of the guards.
Suddenly, the king flew into her room and scolded the guard.
The puffball was really confused by the small tyrant's behaviour and, as she was still extremely sleepy, she could only hear a part of the conversation he was having with his poor guard.
"You DO NOT have permission to get close to her! She's MINE now and I won't allow anyone to get near her, got it?"
Y/N couldn't do anything but ask herself why Marx was so protective of her all of a sudden. Before she could try to understand what was going on inside her room, the winged king picked her up bridal style and brought her to the throne room.
"You can start by Halcandra's roots." said the king while letting the still sleepy puffball sit on a couch while he sat on his throne.❣TIME SKIP❣
That's how days went on for a good while.
Everyday, Y/N would tell Marx a little piece of her dimension's history. She started loving her new job and the king could see every bit of passion she put in her storytelling.
Everyday, Marx would scold or even fire every guard or servant that got too close to Y/N. He was extremely protective of her, to the point where he became possessive. The girl didn't mind it at all: maybe because she liked the feeling of being so important and necessary to someone.One fateful night, Marx had finally decided he should've made Y/N his more formally. He wanted to keep her close, he just wanted her to stay with him 24/7 and he wanted her to focus only on him. She was still shy when talking to him, and he wanted to see her rosey heated cheeks every single second. He needed her warmth and pureness of spirit, he needed her intelligence and kindness. He needed it all, he wanted it all for him.
With just Y/N's innocent smile in mind, the king flew to her room where she was still sleeping, picked her up and brought her to a special location where he would finally fullfill his dream.
The shore was beautiful that night: the night's chilly yet soft breeze accompanied the king and his faithful servant. The shining moon reigned supreme in the middle of the dark sky filled with twinkling stars that reflected their warm light in the endless sea.
The girl woke up to find out she was in her king's arms. He was still holding her tightly.
"W-why... are we here? Am I perhaps dreaming?" asked the puffball almost whispering.
"Nah, you aren't." replied the king while smirking.
Marx loosened his grip on Y/N's round body; he then took her hands and got closer to her.
Y/N was confused by the king's actions and had no idea of what was going to happen to her.
The king got closer and closer, finally kissing the puffball's warm lips.
As the two parted to catch some air to breathe, Marx took out something he had brought for Y/N.
"Close your eyes now."
The girl complied to her king's order and felt something on her head.
She didn't even have the time to process what just happened, since the king gripped her back with his hands and pushed her closer to him to kiss her more passionately, and most importantly, more roughly.The girl's head was now crowned with a wonderful crown that would seal her unbreakable bond with Pop Star's king.
A/N: I hope you liked this story!!! It took me a while to think about a good setting for the plot you proposed so I hope that this lived up to your expectations.
