King's Gambit

Reverse Cardverse : Queens in Power

...

"Gods, you're going to be King, Alfred. You can't just-"

"That's for tomorrow me. You can prepare all you want for the future, but who says it'll go your way?" Alfred sighs, turning back to the stars, looking up to them for guidance. "See what I'm doing now, Arthur? I'm just. Living. And that's enough for me."

"That should be enough for anybody."

...

Alfred, newly crowned King Consort, is unsure of his place, and his queen makes his job no easier. But just as he begins adjusting to the royal life, he discovers there is much he still doesn't know. To right the wrongs of their past and flip the hierarchy on it's head, Alfred will have to dismantle the Council and their secrets. But what he has to do to achieve his goals may just be the tipping point setting off a series of events that spiral out of control.

Arthur, Queen of Spades, is the third in the Kirkland family line to serve as queen. Raised in the capital all his life, he is the archetype royal. However, once he meets his King Consort, he will learn that there is more to life than duty. And maybe, just maybe, he's gotten more than he bargained for, as life and order is thrown on it's head. Now he is left to choose; his duty or his people.
