Hi all. This one is based off a lovely anonymous request about a pacifist king being taken by a stronger queen. It went to some… different places during the process of writing haha. I thought the introduction of the orc element would be nice, though. Orcs are of course amazing, and I actually hadn’t done a script with one yet, so I decided to rectify that lol. It was very fun to write this script and do some more fantasy stuff. It’s slightly story heavy, though, as I kinda got into it, imagining how the fictional world might work and all that. I’m curious what you all think about this one. Too much extra background? Not enough detail? How do you feel about the progression of the character from soft/unsure, to rough, then back again with the aftercare (which I added a bit more pillowtalk to than usual). Anyway, I’m rambling haha. I hope it lives up to the spirit of the original request!

Plot: A prince is thrust onto the throne after the tragic deaths of his parents, forcing him to come to terms with the responsibilities of a king. However, only a few weeks after his coronation, a number of scouts from a hostile empire are spotted crossing the border. It's clear that war is looming, and after centuries of peace, with their closest neighbors being friendly, the prince's humble nation has almost no military whatsoever. Worse yet, one of these friendly kingdoms has just been invaded and made into a puppet state by said hostile force. Making the prince’s nation completely vulnerable to this impending threat. So, facing the destruction of their home, the other nobles of the nation decide that the only way to survive is to create an alliance with the orcish people. They are so desperate, in fact, that when the orcs request the prince be offered to their queen in exchange, they accept immediately. To them, the prospect of being a vassal to the orcs is much better than whatever horrors await them at the hands of their enemy.

So, the prince travels to the capital of the orcish nation, where he is to be wedded to their queen, a woman he knew long, long ago, when they were just children--fellow royals left to play as their parents discussed matters of state. It has been a while since they've seen each other and, frankly, he's missed her. But to think she'd force him into marriage… He doesn’t know whether he should feel happy that they’re about to be reunited, or furious that he’s been made into a pawn in her game.
