Stolen by the Rebel King

As a princess who could not wield magic, Princess Daphne’s only value to her kingdom was her arranged marriage. The task was simple, but when Daphne was kidnapped and brought to the cold mountains of Vramid, she realized that she was in over her head. She had heard of these cursed mountains before― rocky terrain, freezing temperatures, and the land was ruled by a man feared by many within the continent. King Atticus Heinvres, the blood-thirsty ruler of the North. Even though she had never met him before, tales were spread of King Atticus’s ruthlessness. Some said he was a monster, others claimed he was the devil himself, but whatever the story was, everyone knew of the man who had powers beyond anyone’s imagination. He could topple armies and crumble nations with just one wave of his hand, aided by what others rumored to be a cursed obsidian ring. No one outside of Vramid had ever met the fearsome king before. Not until Daphne. However, upon meeting the formidable man, Daphne found out that the king might not really be the monster others had claimed him to be. In fact, what was hidden under that obsidian shield could just be a diamond in the rough. ― [Excerpt] “Now… where should I put you both?” he asked casually, not expecting a reply. “It’s regretful that I only have one chandelier.” “Underneath my bed? No, no, too dirty. My dust bunnies don’t deserve this,” Atticus mused to himself. “The mantlepiece? How about the vanity table? I suppose if I lop off one of your heads I could mount it over… Wife, which head do you want to stare at while you do your hair?” “Atticus!” Daphne screamed. “I don’t want any heads! Let them go.” “Fair enough.” Atticus shrugged, and flicked his fingers. There were two identical cracks as both necks snapped at once. Daphne gasped, horrified. This man, her husband, had just killed two men with a flick of his finger, as though he was snuffing out candles. “I told you to let them go!” Daphne cried out. “Yes, I let them go,” Atticus said. Then, his eyes darkened. “To receive divine judgment from the heavens.” ― Discord Server: https://discord.gg/7HAMK2bRYU Spin-off/Prequel: The Hidden King's Stolen Wife (WIP)

One Less Foe

Daphne continued to watch and wait, weighing her earlier interactions with the both of them. King Calarian had been friendly enough, and Cordelia did help her stand up against Drusilla. Then again, she couldn't trust that they would not stab her in the back. Cordelia did seem very intent on winning this contest. 

While Daphne thought to herself, King Calarian furrowed his eyebrows, eyeing the tree. Was he seeing things, or was there a flash of golden hair inside it? 

"Is someone there?" King Calarian called out. "Come out now!"

At his words, Cordelia immediately notched an arrow, taking aim at the tree hollow. 

"Don't worry, Uncle, I'll flush them out."

Daphne panicked and yelled out, "No, it's just me! Don't shoot!" 

"...Queen Daphne?" King Calarian asked bemusedly. "Is that you?"

"Yes!" Daphne stuck her head out through the gap and Cordelia outright gawked at her. "Thank you for saving me."
