Tumblr media
Time seemed to stop, everything around him lost all of its importance, the worlds could burn around him, and he couldn’t care less. Bucky held his son in his arms for the very first time. The baby is trying to focus his new eyes on his. Bucky leaned in until he pressed his lips against his forehead. And chuckling when Henry sneezed and frowned his little face, clearly tickled by his father’s beard
“My son,” he whispered, cradling him in his arms. He looked in your direction and he found you sleeping, poor thing, you were so tired, even though it had been an uneventful birth, and Bruce explained you didn’t rip, whatever that meant, that you were not injured, and the Prince was delivered into this world without a hitch
His attention went back to his small little face. He was so small, so innocent. And what amazed him the most was that it was all you. You made him, he could hand to you the throne right now. 
He walked with his son in his arms out of the room and into his privy council’s meeting, where he found Steve, waiting for him, he impatiently walked towards his friend
“Look at him” he demanded, without stop smiling, “Look at your Prince” he was so excited he couldn't hide it any longer
“He is perfect, your Majesty” admired Steve, looking at the baby, who was sleeping soundly, “Is the Queen well?” 
“Yes, she is sleeping, otherwise she wouldn’t have let me take the Prince out of her sight”
“Her mother instincts are kicking in” he said with a shy smile
“They indeed are” admired Bucky
“The court is dying to meet the Prince” Steve said gently, looking at the reactions from the King, and James smiled widely
“I want all of them to see him,” he said, as if he were a kid after Christmas morning, not being able to wait to show all of his toys. “Gather them, I must show them his Prince” Steve smiled widely and ran off the office
Bucky walked towards the throne room where he knew his court was waiting, his eyes never left his son, who had his eyes open lazyly. He knew newborns usually slept for most of the day, but he seemed to recognize he was in an unknown environment and on the move, even though he was in his father’s embrace. He draw soft noises his little mouth moved like searching for something, he guessed he was in need of his mother’s breast.But introducing him to the court was more important, but he needed to do it quickly before his son started crying
He watched at his guards looking at him, and even though it was their job to introduce his arrival, they both looked at him wide eyed when they noticed he was carrying the Prince
They both bowed to him 
“With all the respect Your Majesty, congratulations” said the first, trying to take a peek at the baby. He only smiled proudly. 
“Thank you” he said, leaning in so they could see him, and once they did and drew smiles. They bowed again and announced to the court the entrance
“His majesty the King, and His royal highness, Prince Henry” they said vigorously. And opened wide both doors
He saw the faces of his friends first, Anthony, Sam, and Steve, and they all bowed to him and to his son
“Meet the Prince” he shouted, and he knew all the court who had gathered there wanted to see the newborn 
He never felt so proud, he bever felt so happy. His legacy was secured
After the big introduction, when his son woke up and started to get fuzzy, he returned to her chambers. Bucky entered the room slowly, but he saw you were awake he smiled apologetically at you, holding your son in his arms
“Where were you?” you asked, not being able to hide your indignity. He walked towards you until he reached the bed, gesturing to give your son back
“I’m sorry love” you eagerly took your son in your arms again, cuddling him against your chest, “I wanted to show the court their new Prince” you looked at him angrily
“I was scared, you took him without asking me” you pointed out, “I woke up and he…”
“Honey, remember that he is a Prince” he said carefully, but strongly, “He belongs to the crown”
“I know” you grunted, “I just got scared” you whispered, watching him close his big eyes with a yawn, and in a second he was sleeping cuddling against your breast 
“They all loved him” he said gently, sitting by your side, looking at his son, “he is indeed, perfect”
“He is just a baby” you reminded him gently, “I’m really hoping you know he is not perfect, not he is going to be” he looked at you puzzled, “I know he already has a lot on his shoulders for being a Prince, but I really don’t think that kind of pressure is going to be good for him” he then smiled gently
“With you as his mother I have no doubt he will be the best King this kingdom has ever has” he said gently, “I’ll remember your words my sweet Queen, we will raise him good, without the pressure of the crown” you smiled thankfully
“I love you” you whispered
“I love you too” You were interrupted by a woman dressed in a perfect black dress with a white apron. In her head there was a white cloth, fixing her auburn hair in a perfect manner. She was of age, older than you, with a kind smile and dark eyes
“Your majesties” she greeted bowing profoundly. James smiled at her as he knew who she was
“He is the Prince, Henry” he introduced, and you looked at both of them without knowing what to do
“And you are?” you asked
“I’m Lady May, your majesty” she said, again bowing
“She is Henry’s nanny, my love,” he said gently. James took your son from your arms and under your surprised gaze, he handed to her
“But…” you protested, as you watched the wretched woman take your baby from the room, “He is mine James” you protested, rage made your body hot. He only kissed your forehead as a consolation, not caring about your anger towards the royal-stealer woman 
“I know honey, but let them do their work, ok? Their nannies are here to help you and take care of him” you growled, under the surprised watch of your husband, “You need to regain your strength” he reminded you
“I’m fine” you protested, “I want my son with me” you protested
“You just gave birth” he fighted, “You need your rest let the nannies help you”
“I don’t need help, I need my son in my arms” he reached for a cup from your night stand and handed it to you. 
“Milk of the poppy to help you sleep my love”
“But my king” you cried, but when you saw his face, those eyes filled with determination, “When I wake again will they return him to me?” you relented
“Of course my love, as you wish” he whispered, so you took the drink. And the sharp pain in your lower region began to relent, but as your felt better, you also felt more tired
“Goodnight my Queen” Bucky layed on the bed beside you, cradling you against his body and kissing your temple. And you lost consciousness 
Tumblr media
As soon as you regained your strength, the pain was no more and you could stand, the King organised a grand christening for his son, his heir and Prince of this Kingdom 
It was hosted in the cathedral, and Steve was appointed as his godfather, and held your naked and squalling child in his arms when the bishop had poured holy water over his dark haired head, as he chanted “I baptise thy, In nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti, amen” 
“He already has the strength of a Prince” said your King with proudness filling his voice, as the entire cathedral could hear his screams and cries 
“I'm scared he´ll drop him” you whispered only for his ears, and in the corner of your eye you saw him smiling and containing his laugh
“Nobody is dropping our child, and if he does I´ll have his head” he whispered back. You entangled your arm with his and he drew you near him, “How are you feeling?” 
“Better each day, still hurts a little bit” he kissed your temple without taking his eyes off the ceremony, specially his son
“I’m glad you are recuperating” he said softly, “As soon as this is over you are going back to bed” 
“Yes your majesty” you mumbled with a snarky point to your frase 
“God of infinite goodness, send prosperous life and long to his high and mighty, Prince of Brook, Henry” chanted the bishop. Your son had stopped crying, and he cooed happily as he was being held and cradled by Steve´s strong arms and soft velvet clothing
As they started to walk away from you, into the great hallway, you paced impatiently
“They can't hold him naked like that” you whispered to your husband, “He is going to get sick” James chuckled as he put his lips to your temple to soothe your worries
“Don't worry my love” he muttered against your skin, as Steve was given a white cloth in which he covered the baby, “There you go” 
Steve showed the Prince to everyone in the Cathedral, as Bucky parted from your side leaving you standing in the middle of the altar alone
Steve turned towards you, and he made a great ceremonial gesture, when handed you your baby, you received him carefully, cuddling him to your chest 
When he was placed comfortably in your arms, everyone bowed to you both, as you kissed his little forehead as he cooed happily, undoubtedly recognizing you. He looked so much like his father it made your chest fill with warmth, but he had all your colouring 
“God bless the Pince” the archbishop chanted, and all the cathedral followed
Tumblr media
Bucky woke up in the middle of the night and you weren't there beside him. Scared, he took foot and walked towards your chambers, but you weren't there either. Taking a deep breath, he walked towards the nursery, and there you were, it shook him to find you nursing your child from your own breast, but also, it made him increase his desires for you
The night nurses of the prince looked at him with apologetic looks, noded and left you both
“Sweetheart” he murmured. You raise your eyes to look at him, and you almost feel embarrassed, “You shouldn't…”
“Why can't I feed my own child from my own breast?” you asked, still holding the baby, his tiny lips suckling into your nipple, Bucky didn't know why, but it made his manhood throb, “I'm his mother”
“Queens don't do that” you look down at your son, suckling, and making those tiny noises that warmed your heart and you loved so, so much
“I'm sorry” you separated him from you softly, he grunted, but fell asleep instantly in your arms. Bucky was there to receive him, to let you arrange your nightgown 
Bucky admired his son, and his milk-drunk little face, remnants of your milk still on his lips, and he purred happily in his father's arms, sleeping profoundly 
“I just love those sounds he makes” you said, reaching on your feet the two loves of your life. Bucky sororounded you with his arm and draw to to him, kissing the top of your head while he cuddled his son with his other arm
“Can we take him with us?” you asked, batting your eyelashes to him, he only smiled
“Only for tonight” you extended your arms to receive your baby, but he shook his head, “Mine” he grunted playfully, you just giggled and let yourself be gently pushed by him to his chambers. 
You cuddled in bed, the prince sleeping in his father’s chest and you cuddled on his side, admiring Bucky and Henry. James had his arms wrapped protectively around you, and the other caressing his son’s back
He, again, never felt so happy
The morning was chaotic when the nurses came for the little guy, and you almost threw punches at them, but you relented when James gave you a warning look. Fearing the war that was brewing between you and his son’s nurses
They might have won the morning battle, but then at noon when he was getting hungry and emerged from his privy council’s chambers. He frowned when he saw the group of nurses and wet nurses walking hastily through the corridors, like looking for something, or someone
“Excuse me!” he called, all the ladies stopped and bowed to him 
“Your majesty” they murmured at the same time
“Where's the prince?” he asked, one of them, the oldest, gave a step forwards him and bowed
“I´m sorry your majesty, but her majesty the Queen took the Prince, and we cannot find her”
“Oh really?” he asked, incredulous. She nodded nervously. “She is not in her chambers, not in the gardens, or your chambers…”
“Ok” he sighed loudly, having a faint idea of where you might be. 
He finds you in the furthest and tallest of the towers of the castle, a single room filled with sunlight, carpets and big pillows layed on the floor for the comfort of those who may use this place to read or to find comfort in peace. He found you there, sitting amongst big cushions, playing with your son, he could almost hear his giggles, although he was too young yet
“(Y/N)” he called, you look at him as like you just have been caught doing something wrong, “Imagine my surprise when I see a flock of nurses and ladies in waiting looking for my missing son, claiming he was taken by his mother” you pouted but then you returned your attention to your son
“They spend too much time with him, they barely let me hold him” you whined, eyes filled with unshed tears of longing, and the constant feeling that you were doing something wrong when it came to your own baby, the one thing in which you couldn't misstep  
“They are here to help you” he seated on the floor right next to you
“But he is mine” you said, “My baby, I barely spend time with him”
“You are a Queen, who is busy with matters of state” he murmured, his face lined up with yours to watch your son, resting in your thighs, at the sight of his father he smiled widely, looking at him with joy in his face 
“I feel like I do everything wrong when it comes to him” you cried, finally shedding some tears, “I want to learn how to take care of him, not let other people do it…”
“I know my love, but the Kingdom needs you”
“My son needs me most” you pouted, he cleaned your tear stained cheeks with his thumbs and kissed you softly. 
“Let the nannies do their job” he whispered against your lips, and his tone did not allowed contradictions
Tumblr media
Bucky practised alongside Steve and Sam in the hunting field, bow and arrow in hand, practising their shots as the new hunting season was coming close, and since you were no longer pregnant, your appetite for boar had return stronger than ever
Vision ran towards the trio, heavy breaths and a scare look on his face, so scared that made the three friends stop everything they were doing to look at the Second in command
“Lord Zemo is back” said Vision, right to the point.
“How? Why?” 
“He had gathered an army with his sympathisers, and it’s taking the fields” 
“Shit!” Bucky cursed
“This a clear declaration of war” saif Steve, “we need to gather our banners and take the field as well”
“I agree” sentenced Buky, “Call everyone in, and call Lord Fury” the four of them started walking back towards the palace
“He is the one who received the information”
“Does he know where they are gathering?” he asked Bucky 
“He believed they are gathering in the Baron’s domain, near the border with her majesty's Kingdom”
“Do you think they are in on it?” asked Bucky then, “Do you think her father would support them?”
“Absolutely no” muttered Vision, “They have enough problemas of their own”
“We have to take measures, their intentions are clear and like I said, bring everyone in, call in Tony and tell him he and his Duchess and her new daughter all can come here, I will not have our court out there in the open” he said firmly, he knew of all the Baron’s tactics and their father’s before him, and he knew how close the court where, and right now they were sitting ducks in their castles far from the capital.
“Good, I will bring everyone in” said Vision and changed ways to run towards the aviary, to end the ravens
“So, we are going to war?” asked Steve, a worried look on his face
“I’m afraid so” muttered Bucky, “it’s been long overdue, but I’m afraid of what this would do to the people, Sam” he called and his friend nodded, “I want you to run and go towards all the towns from here to the Baron’s, I want everyone to show surrender, I will not, under any circumstances have any of my people suffer because of this, tell them I will not hold anything against them if they chose to surrender under the Baron, but also gather every fighting men you can”
“Wise choice, I will” he crossed his arm across his chest and nodded strongly, and ran off towards the stables
“And I need you by my side” he said to Steve, “to be the general””
“Great, I will be here” he said firmly, “Are you going to tell her?”
“I can't hide something like this from her” he muttered, both men entered the castle and walked through the large corridors, “But at the same time I want to protect her”
“She can protect herself, I think” muttered Steve
“I know” he said, “But she is so occupied with our son that I don’t want to disturb her” 
“You need to secure your son you know the Baron has friends everywhere, and the entire court is here” 
“What are you saying?”
“You need to send your son south” Steve said with a serious look on is face, “Your father murdered their family, don’t doubt for a second that the birth of the Prince isn’t what triggered the Baron to gather his banners again” Bucky cursed under his breath because Steve was again, correct
“Can you set it up? Nobody can Know where the prince is going except for us” he whispered
“I will send my and your best men on the job, and he will be going to my territories in the South”
“Good, yes” 
You stormed the hallways looking for the King, seeing red so intensely you actually thought of grabbing your sword and threatening him with it, you found him surrounded by his men, on the table a big map of the entire Kingdom but you didn’t care about that, as soon as he saw your face he cleared the room
“Why would you send him away?” you asked, tears threatening to fall from your eyes “You do not love him?”
“Of course I do!” he said, almost offended, “I love him with all my heart!”
“Then why?” he saw the tears in your eyes and he softened his gaze upon you
“My darling, it is costum for the princes and princesses of the throne to have their own houses, and a crew of persons to take care of them” he explained to you but it did not matter, watching your baby part from you had broken your heart. You whined, in pain, feeling actual pain in your chest
“But he is just a baby,” you contradicted “how is it going to be good for him to be apart from me, his mother and you, his father?” He looked at you as if he would look at something cute, and you hated him for it, so you growled and gave your back to him. Only to heard him chuckle
“Are you upset with me, my love?” he asked, amused
“Yes!” you shouted, he placed his hand on your shoulder and made you turn softly, you were pouting and he had a grand smile on his face. He cradled your face with his big hands, and he leaned in to kiss you, “He is mine!” you said, rejecting the kiss and growling, a fierceness growing inside of you, heating every part of your insides
“My Love, I´m afraid to tell you that the prince is property of the state” he said softly, his brow furrowed, his eyes big and worried. And based on the face you were putting up, he feared that you would bite his head off, “But the good news is what we are the state” he continued
“Are you implying that your council had something to do with this?”
“No, my love, I´m just adjusting to the traditions” he said softly
“But if he is to succeed you one day wouldn´t it be good for him to stay by your side?” you asked hopefully. He pouted briefly before he leaned in and kissed your forehead, silently saying he wouldn't back down, “He is going to forget me” you said when he gently parted from you
“He won't, we´ll visit him weekly, he will never forget you” he assured you, “And they can bring him to you whenever you want” 
“Very well” you said, not very much convinced, but you earned another kiss from him
“I like you like this, this lioness defending her cub” he purred, and you couldn't help but smile shyly, “We shall make another one, so you´ll be comforted again”
“Another one?”
“And another one after that” you giggled as he kissed you again, “And I want a little girl, to take her looks after her mother”
“Then you shall have a daughter” you muttered
“Are you ready?” he asked, and you nodded, as you had your monthly bleeding last week, indicating you were ready to bear another child, and you felt as strong as ever, even ready for the battlefield. He smiled widely, “Then I shall visit your chambers tonight” you smiled and nodded again, as he kissed you 
“I thought there as only one chamber now: ours” you muttered, he smiled widely
“I thought It was special to conceive our children in a particular bed”
“The we should go to Madripoor” you said jokingly, “there is probably where we made Henry”
“Even though I’d like to think I got it right the first time I had you…” you both chuckled at the same time, “you are right my sweet queen”  he purred against your lips, “I think is time we go to our special place” when he hugged you, he look over your shoulder at the table, and all the planning he was doing for the upcoming war, and suddenly it hit him, you were not going to be able to go back to Madripoor and he definitely could not get another baby in your belly, at least not right away
He has hid information before and you almost left him because of it, he could not do it again, but how was he going to tell you about the civil war that was looming over your peaceful Kingdom? He needed you right by his side, he needed your help but also he knew that if he told you, there was no way he was going to be able to shake you away
He was going to tell you, but first he needed to make sure you’ll stay here, safe, away from the danger.
But how? 
Tumblr media
Notes: Don’t hate Bucky please hahaha, I take inspiration from the series “The Tudors” and after also research, I found out that the prince, and princesses were sent away by their parents to their own houses, and even though is very sad, I did want to make this history-accurate, we will see the Prince shortly! I promise. AND DO NOT GIVE OPIOIDS TO WOMEN WHO JUST HAD GIVEN BIRTH! Ajjajajaja

Word Count (Chapter): 4.4k
Notes: Re-Reading this I remembered an important character who completely disappeared… the ambassador! The need to rewrite the last chapters is strong… but no matter, I liked his character and he will come back! Spoilysssss
Tumblr media
“Are you ready to come back to the capital, my love?” Bucky asked sweetly, as he squeezed your hand gently over the table. You were having breakfast, a month has passed after he came to see you, you both stayed at the castle. having a small vacation
“I don’t know” you admitted, “It's so quiet here” you muttered
“I know” he purred, “But I have to come back, the court is coming back to the castle, and the threats of the plague and the Carter´s have passed” you nodded, understanding his reasons, “Besides we need to prepare for the arrival of our baby” he hinted with a big smile. “They are all very excited”
Your belly had grown big and round, the seamstress had tons of work since you were needing a bigger dress each week. 
The date was nearing, you didn’t know exactly when, but you guessed, calculating the first night you shared with the King, that is going to be two months more before you welcomed your first child. You were excited, and equally scared.
And more exciting news was coming this way, since Bucky had just given his permission to Vision to marry Wanda as soon as you came back to the capital… so exciting events 
The future looked promising and bright
“The Carter’s have sworn their alliance by disowning Sharon” he continued “Who is still on the run by the way” his thumb caressed your hand softly, “She can’t get to you anymore”
“You are right” you said, happy and relieved, “And she can’t get to you either”
“That’s right” he took your hand to his lips and kissed it
“I can’t believe you showed me you home” he purred, his blue eyes bright
“Well, and I can’t believe I couldn’t go hunting with you, '' you said sadly, looking down at your big and round belly. your King squeezed your hand gently
“When our baby is out and you are recuperated, I’ll bring you here again, ok?” he promised, “So we can both go hunting” 
“I thought you wanted me to give you more babies” you said playfully
“We can wait a little more then” he responded, his beautiful smile would lighten up the coldest of days and his eyes sparkled like stars, and all for you. “Let’s go home” 
. . .
The people waiting for you outside the castle made you smile widely. Bucky squeezes your hand soothingly
“Welcome back home my love” he purred, kissing your temple. You smiled back, “There is people who wants to see you”
“Who?” you asked, entertained by how happy he seemed. The carriage stopped and he jumped out, turning rapidly to help you get down. You belly was interrupting your movements and although that was endearing because you were getting close to holding your baby in your arms, you were getting very tired very quickly
But all that was momentary, when you saw your friends faces, the court was back in the castle and everything that goes with it
The first one to come to greet you was VIsion, he and Wanda had come back to the capitol a couple of weeks ago after they got Bucky’s permission to marry,  to prepare everything for your arrival and their wedding.
Behind Wanda, there was Nat, and you couldn’t help but hug her, not caring if it was improper for you to do it, you engulfed her in your arms, so glad she was fine, and out of harm’s way, because she had been with the plague
“I’m so glad you are ok” you muttered, and she smiled
“I’m so glad I’m able to be back in your service” she said back. You had grown affectionate towards Maria, but Natasha was your friend and had helped you in definitive moments here with the King Himself, so you would be forever grateful to her 
You released the woman to keep greeting people, ad the next person you found, was the ambassador
“My Queen” he greeted, bowing to you, “If I may say so, you look radiant expecting the King's child”
“I’m happy to see you again” you said happily, feeling guilty you had completely forgot about him, being so distracted by your husband, “Was the vacation from court pleasant?”
“Indeed” he said, “I had time to go visit our homeland, and I have news” he told you, smiling
“We have time to discuss it later” you tranquilize him,having more people to geet, “Talk to Nick Fury and he will appoint you”
“Good, can’t wait” Gods he was handsome, he smiled at you widely and bowed again, and you continued to greet people on your way into the castle, with Bucky by your side
“What did he want?” he whispered in your ear
“He wants an audience with me,” you said back. He looked at you funny, but didn’t say anything as you made your way back to your respective chambers. And Bucky, being met and followed by his privy council, went straight to their private room 
 “Welcome back!” greeted Bucky, he was so happy to be back at home, the next season for the court starting, his friends back in the castle, and the arrival of his baby. His happiness beated the one he felt in his trip to Madripoor with you. “We have the impending wedding celebration of my second in command!” he said happily, VIsion smiled and nodded, “I only hope marriage would bring you the happiness it has brought me” he said happily
“You are most kind your majesty” he said, dowing with his head, “I’m sure it will, Wanda is the love of my life”
“I’m so happy you’ll make my wife’s best friend happy” he completed, “She deserves it” 
“That party is going to be great” muttered Tony, “I already ordered barrels of the best whine I could fine”
“Great! muttered Bucky, “and the wedding will be the first event of many to come”
“What do you mean your majesty?” asked the bishop
“I want banquets, jousts, and festivals celebrated in honor of my firstborn child” Even the ambassador had entered this privy council meeting, happy at the words of his King “I want people all over the country celebrating the birth of our baby”
“Very well” said The Vision, smiling widely 
“Well, what if.. it’s a girl?” asked the Archbishop 
“What of it?” Asked the king, a warning in his voice
“I believe the King would like to celebrate regardless of the sex of his firstborn” said Steve, angrily
“Oh, of course” the Archbishop said, nervously
“Why wouldn't I celebrate the birth of a daughter?” he asked, knowing perfectly well the answer, but wanted to hear it nonetheless
“Well, your majesty, eh...” the bald man started sweating uncontrollably, “It is always a male heir that could, or is more inclined to inherit the crown, and well, a girl… Even if she is as blessed and expected as a boy, well...” 
“I might clarify, today” said the King, “neither the Queen nor I will be pestered about this matter” he said firmly, “we will receive gladly all the babies the Gods deems well to send us, if it is one, two or as many as he pleases, and also the sex, my successor will be my eldest child, regardless” he said, looking at everyone in the room, “anyone who opposes or keeps bringing the matter will be severely punished, and expelled from this privy council and from my love” everyone with fear in their eyes nodded, “The Queen will not be bothered and less of it pressured by this” he remembered bitterly how much his mother was bothered by his father, and the privy council, to keep having babies and giving birth, that eventually lead to her death, and him to be the only living child of the marriage. He would die before he puts you through that pressure. Nothing will ever bother you while you were working so hard day and night in the making of your baby. “Is that understood?” they all nodded, not daring to look at him in the eyes, “Very well”
“Of course M´Lord” said the Archbishop strongly, understanding his mistake, and the reaction of the King
“As I was saying, as soon as they are born, I want banners and plates made to commemorate them”
“Do we have possible names?” asked Steve, smiling widely 
“If he is a boy, we are naming him Henry, if it's a girl, I want to name her Elizabeth, in commemoration of the Queen’s mother, the warrior Queen”
“Names fitted for a royal” said Sam, “And for a princess or prince of two nations” 
Tumblr media
“I’m sorry for abandoning you, my Queen” muttered the ambassador as he bowed in front of you
“You hadn't” you assured him, with a shy smile, one which he returned, “You wanted to speak to me?” you didn’t ask him, but pressured him into speak
“Yes indeed, like I said, I had the opportunity to travel back to our country, and what I saw… Well, is not pleasant”
“What do you mean?” sudden worry and curiosity alike flooded you
“Your father’s kingdom is collapsing” he said sincerely, “Each year more and more lords are starting to refuse him, denying him as King”
“Are you scared the Kingdom will fall into Anarchy?” he looked panicked and do the cross sign, in fear of your words
“No” he said firmly
“Are they supporting another?” you asked then, “Do they want my father replaced?”
“Sort of” his face contorted in worry, “They want… you”
“Me?” you asked, surprised beyond words
“They do, they want you, their rightful Queen”
“I belong here now” you said softly
“I know, but the people, they think they had been robbed” he explained, “Your father is not of royal blood, nor a royal bloodline”
“What about Clark?” you asked then
“They feel the same” you took a long sigh
“I need to go there and assure them, he is the one next to the throne”
“That would help his cause, however, we have to do it fast, before this goes over the border, and other might take advantage of this” you just nodded, finding the truth in his words, “But I must say your grace, I’m scared people of this Kingdom already know” he said firmly
“Whatever do you mean?” you asked
“Well, your chancellor, His excellency Fury was placed in our Kingdom before being called back here, and he is called the masters of whispers for a reason
“You believe he already told King James about this?”
“He would be very bad at his job if he hadn’t” he said carefully, and now your head was filling with questions and uncertainty 
“I’ll talk to him about this” you said firmly, and the embassador could only nod 
You have met with him in the library, since your room was being cleaned and your things were being put away, but now, as you cradled your big belly, you walked with determination as you had planned an entire day for your friend Wanda.
And you know exactly where to find her
“I want this room so clean you can eat off of it!” demanded Wanda, to all the servants who came to your chambers at her command, “The prince or princess is arriving shortly, and I want this room clean!” she demanded, as everyone nodded, “For the safety of our Queen, who is to give birth in here” 
“Yes my lady” said the maids and cleaning ladies, as they ran around the room putting order and sweeping the floor to be ready to be wiped clean with water 
“Wanda,” you called from the arch of your room, “You should be preparing for your wedding!” you laughed, your friend had leadership material, and you knew she would do great things
“I know” she said smiling widely, “But I’m so nervous I thought I could distract myself by doing this important thing that needs to be done either way” she said rapidly, and you just smiled
“Let’s pray for the prince or princess not to arrive before your wedding” you took her hand, leading her out of your room and down the hallway, “These days are about you” you sang. Leading her to your special place you’d set up for her
There was this room called “The Queen’s tea room” you never used it. It was too much: rose gold decorations on the walls, silky made chairs and sofas, it was pompous, but it served the purpose for this particular event. When you both crossed the double doors, Wanda smiled widely as she faced your ladis, your friends, all waiting for her, in the room was also the castle’s seamstress and piles and piles of gorgeous fabrics for Wanda to choose to make herself dresses and her wedding gown specially. Also, for refreshments, there were all kinds of wines and beverages and small cakes and bowls of fruits 
“All of this is for me?” she asked, marveled at the sight
“Of course my love” you chanted, “Let’s design your dress” 
You decided to leave the political squeems for another day, this week you were going to devote it to your closest friend and one of the most important people in your life. Wanda deserve the best, so your personal seamstress was fitting her right in front of your approving grin and the rest of your ladies as you wined and dined on sugary treats 
Tumblr media
You finished fixing Wanda’s hair like she had done so many times with you
“You looked so beautiful” you said softly, and she smiled, grabbing your arms in a loving manner
“I’m so happy” you shared fascinated looks as you looked at each other 
“Are you ready?” she nodded enthusiastically, “I need to get out there” you whispered, and she nodded, “I leave her in your hands, Pietro” his brother walked forwards until he could wrap his arm around his sisters’ 
You left her in the small room at the chapel, and walked by the side to your position at the very first line inside the church. Where Bucky was waiting for you
“How is she?” he asked, and you nodded 
“She looks amazing” you said happily, “And so happy” he leaned in and kissed your temple like he used to do. and you almost purred at the contact. When his lips were on your skin you felt so connected to him, like you were one, your heart filled with warmth and love. 
And you felt the same when you saw Wanda walking down the aisle, to his soon to be husband. She looked so happy it was contagious
The ceremony was beautiful, they exchanged their own words and a promise of eternal love and respect. You watched attentively, holding Bucky’s hand, and feeling the kicks of your baby on your belly.
It wasn’t long before you were all outside. Where Bucky himself had made sure they were long tents, so everyone at court and all your families could enjoy a ball outside of the castle walls. Torches and lamps would give a war light, and tables were served filled with delicious foods, and the wine would flow freely. Wanda was dancing or trying to… dance with VIsion, a colourful flower crown on her head. You were surprised to find Natasha dancing with the Physician Bruce. Steve was asking lady Sarah to dance, and lady Jane was asked by Sam. You interrupted them all though, when Bucky asked for your hand to join them in the dancefloor, it was custom for the whole thing to stop out of respect for the royal couple. But after a couple of turns in your husband’s arms, they all laughed and joined you.
“And to think you didn’t even want to dance with me at first” you giggled into his ear, and he chuckled, swaying you in his arms gently, like he was afraid of breaking you, or perhaps to squeeze your baby
“A tremendous fool I was” he said simply, “Now I could dance with you forever” you smiled at him, looking into his eyes and wondering, you wonder if he was plotting to invade your home country
“I need to ask you something” you said quietly, to not draw attention towards the both of you
“Tell me” 
“Will you answer me with the truth?” you asked then, and he nodded, “Did you know my country is rejecting the rule of my father?” you asked, not accusatory, but expecting an honest answer
“I did know that, yes” and you felt almost relieved he didn’t lie to you, “Fury brought the issue to me when he first arrived, but since then, I was facing other issues and matters of state and I completely forgotten about it” 
“Oh, I see” you mumbled
“I gather the ambassador spoke to you about it” he said, and you nodded, “What does he want you to do?”
“He wants to stabilise our country” you said carefully
“And how do you want to do that?”
“Forfeit my right to the throne in favour of my brother” you said clearly and firmly, he only nodded
“Let’s talk about this at length, tomorrow” and you just nodded, and you let yourself relax in the arms of your beloved. he kissed your temple gently, “My sweet queen” he purred, “you are about to gave birth to our baby” you giggled
“Yeah, I feel really energetic though” you said mindlessly, as you both kept twirling and dancing around, at the compass of the music and the other couples. You glanced at Wanda, she looked so happy, and she only had eyes for Vision, “Although my feet are killing me” he chuckled softly against the skin of your forehead
“You know we are violating an important rule, you should be in retirement” he said like he was a concerned father, and you looked at him with a raised eyebrow
“Like you could keep me away” you said with a big smile
“Are you sure you are feeling ok?” he asked you, this time, he was serious
“I am, I swear it” you promised him, “at the minimum discomfort, I’ll find a physician, ok?” he nodded. The night transcurred calmly after that, that is until Steve drunkenly started shouting about the bedding ceremony. Embarrassing Wanda who turned as red as her hair
Vision looked at Bucky, begging him with his eyes
“There is not going to be a bedding ceremony today” he said firmly, and the couple laughed, relieved, “I will escort the happy couple myself” he said then, to appease the violent shootings of his court. Sometimes he wondered about the moral integrity of the people around him.
Bucky encased your hand in his, as you both started walking and led Wanda and Vision to the latter's own chambers inside the palace. 
You hugged Wanda one last time before you both left them alone, wishing them the best 
Still holding hands you walked towards your own chambers
“Don’t you want to go back to the party?” he asked, and you only looked at him, smiling widely
“No way” you said, reflecting how tired you were, “My feet and back are killing me, I really just want to go to bed” you explained, “Your prince or princess is draining me of all my energy” He smiled sweetly, the corners of his eyes wrinkling just like you liked it. He placed a hand over your big belly, you truly felt like you were close, so close you could almost feel holding your baby in your arms
“You go back,” you whispered. And he nodded, leaving you in your chambers to go back to his kingly duties
Tumblr media
Because of the absence of Vision, Bucky was now facing to catch up on all the paperwork his chancellor did for him, swimming in scrolls and the details of the last taxes imposed upon his people, he wondered if he could actually diminish them for the upcoming season, his people needed a break and since winter was coming up they were going to need more money for supplies and buy animals and… other things. His head was already hurting. He could feel the eyes of his friends on him, but he tried to focus on the task at hi, even though if he reduced the taxes his counsel would kill him
“My King!” They were all interrupted by Peter when he stormed in the room like a hurricane, entering his majesty's privy council meeting, “it's time!” he said, smiling happily, and Bucky knew exactly what he meant
“Is The Queen…?” he asked, standing from his seat. He looked at the man that had entered the room with Peter, he was a shaky little man, the assistant of his main Physician, Bruce 
“She has taken to the birthing chamber” he smiled widely, among the congratulations of his friends and members of his council
“I must go to her” he said, excited beyond belief 
“Your majesty, I´m afraid you can´t” he said nervously
“Why?” he growled
“It is not customary for the King to be in the birthing of his Queen” he explained, although feeling out of place, “The physicians…”
“I don't care”
“I´m afraid - the poor man was shaking at this point - the bishops that accompanied her majesty had said…”
“I don't give a shit!” he growled, throwing the contents of the table onto the floor with a swift swing of his arms “I want to be there next to her”
“It has never been done, for the King to be on the Birthing suit with the Queen” he responded
“I am not a King today, I´m a husband and a father”
“It is advised that only her Queen's physicians and ladies in waiting be there with her” he said, swallowing hard. He felt a reassuring hand on his shoulder, he looked to see Steven
“We will accompany you” he said, looking at his friends, they all nodded “right here” he surrendered
“If anything happens, any development, you come running to tell me” he nodded to the page as he presented his respects and exited the chamber, hastily 
Bucky took a long breath, as he sat in his chair 
“Everything will be alright” assured Tony
“Birthings are dangerous and painful” he said “my own mother perished in the birthing of my baby sister, and she was the strongest woman I knew” he said with a gloom face
“Queen (Y/N) is formidable” said Sam “she will give you a child and stand after that, you need to have faith, there was a royal announcement on the city, of the birth of a new prince or princess, thousands of your subjects are praying for their Queen” 
“Is that what we rely on?” Bucky asked “prayers?”
“Right now” said Sam “is the only thing we have”
. . .
“This hurts like hell” you yelled at the top of your lungs, a wave of pain washing over you, demanding you try to spell your bay from your tired body
“I know” encouraged Sarah, as she wiped the sweat out of your forehead, “You need to be strong my Queen” She turned and she seemed she was going to leave you, so you managed to grab her arm
Lady Sarah don´t you dare leave me, you are the only one who know what I'm up against” she laughed as she grabbed your hand tightly 
“I'll never leave you, your majesty,” she said. You took a long breath, feeling the next wave gaining strength to collide against your body
“In the next contraction, I want you to push your majesty” directed the physician, Bruce, and so you did 
. . .
“What is taking so long?” he grunted, after half an hour of wait
“My King” said Steve, mockingly “it's been just half an hour, it's not even noon yet”
“Something wrong is going to happen”
“Nothing is going to happen” said Tony, offering a drink “please drink it”, Bucky accepted the drink and wash it down in one long gulp, giving the empty glass back to Tony
“How is Pepper?” he asked then, trying to keep his mind off of you
“She is fine, and promised me If I wasn’t back in a fornite she was going to take my penis, and all my shit” he laughed. And Bucky smiled widely too, “She is at least two fornites short to, so close to the Queen”
“Oh, good” he said, relieved, “So our childs can be friends” 
“Yes they certainly can” Tony said, smiling widely
The door opened and he jumped to their feet, it was Peter this time
“What has happened?” he asked
“His majesty has a son!” he said, excited
“WHAT?” He yelled, happiness roaring in his heart, warming his chest “And the Queen?”
“She is well, your majesty”
“I want all the bells ringing from here to the confines of this kingdom” he yelled as he almost ran out of the room, almost running Peter over 
He ran through all the corridors, and he entered the room like a hurricane, crossed the receiving chamber in a few steps, and cross the double doors leading to her wife, to you
He stopped as soon as he saw you, lady Wanda was finishing fixing your hair, they dressed you with a fine robe over the nightgown, your hair was loose and you looked like you’d had been through hell, he could still see the sweat of your hairline, and your face looked tired, and still colored from the effort, but as soon as you saw him, you gave him the brightest of smiles, and he thought that you never looked more beautiful. You looked down at the bundle you held against your chest.
Bucky moved slowly towards the bed
“Are you well?” he asked, not only towards you but to his physicians, everyone nodded
“Yes your majesty” responded one of your physicians 
“Then leave us” as soon as everyone left, he climbed up the bed to settle beside you, and you leaned into his chest, and he saw him, his son, his reddened face, his hair just like his color, his tiny hands reaching from the linen “my boy” he said as he caressed his little head, not daring to grab him from your  embrace  “You are perfect” he whispered “not even a year since we married and you gave me a son” he whispered against your temple, and you only smiled, as he kissed her temple 
“Are you happy?” you asked
“Never been more happy in my whole life” you let out a relieved breath, you were so tied, but relieved, and so happy to have your son in your arms again, “How shall we name him?” Bucky asked
“Can we name him Henry?” you asked, as you had discussed with him sooner
“I love that name” he muttered, kissing your temple softly, the new born cooed in your arms, as he looked to his mother and father
“Hello Henry” you said happily

"My love, His duty" has an "infidelity" tag. Will there be a happy ending? No judgement if there isn't, but I mostly read fics that will likely have happy endings.
Oh it was because of Sharon in the first chapters, she won’t come up again, I was thinking to have her around for longer, but not anymore jeje

Tumblr media
“The baby is kicking” you cheered, catching the attention of all your ladies, who turned their sights away from their reading and into you. Wanda with a huge smile, took foot and ran to your side
“Can I?” she asked, and you nodded, grabbing her hand and placing it over your belly. “Oh I can feel it!” she shrieked. Lady Jane as well as Sarah and Nat came to you as well, also asking to feel the prince or princess inside you
“It’s so exciting” muttered Lady Sarah, and then you remembered that she had 2 kids
“Did it hurt?” you couldn't help to ask, “When you gave birth?” she looked at you apologetically
“Well, it did your majesty, I cannot lie to you” she murmured, “My first, it did hurt, it was a long birth, but the second popped right out” she said slowly, “It can be different”
“Well I hope for the latter then” you smiled nervously, you know very well that they were women who died in childbirth, it was common, so you really just hoped for the best, you know they had excellent physicians and even men and women who dedicated his life for the knowledge of the gods and knew about different kinds of medicine, like the wise ones from Kamartaj
Perhaps you could ask for the assistance of the monks when the birth came, the thought soothed you, but then it didn’t when you think about what Bucky may say, you needed to ask him
Bucky
You missed him, the longing must have been reflected in your face, as you felt Nat’s hand on your shoulder, you found her eyes and smiled at her 
“I bet the King would like to feel his child” she said softly, and you just smiled
Oh you bet he would
At the other side of the castle, Bucky was grumbling so hard his teeth were going to splinter 
The air was tense, Bucky could feel it, as he looked at Sharon over the dining room table, she was savoring different sweets and treats, according to her cravings
“I don’t know if I’m going to be able to have dinner tomorrow” he tried softly
“Why is that?” she drop the cutlery into the silver plate with a frown to look at him
“I’m going hunting,” he said trying to gain footing in the conversation
“Do you think I’m an idiot?” she snapped, but when she looked at his face, she knew she had messed up, “But darling, I’m sure you can stay and spend the day in bed, I know the council is taking a break”
“I want to go, the hunting season is coming to an end soon”
“Can I come with you?” she asked then
“You know that riding isn't a good idea if you are expecting” he murmured
“Who are you going with? Duke Stark is in his state, Lord Wilson as well, and Steve you said he was out of the capitol chasing something” 
“Well, I was thinking of going by myself”
“With the Queen?” she barked
“No, she is pregnant too”
“Do you think I’m an idiot?” He just sighed
“I want to see her” he grumbled, she just smiled
“Perhaps we can go and see her together” she snapped, taking another bite of the cake she was eating. He just sighed
“Sharon, it’s been a month”
“Isn’t it dreamy?” she asked, caressing her belly
“No,'' he said firmly, “You know what? He stood up from the table, “I don’t care, I’m going to tell her myself I don’t care anymore, I need to see her, I can’t keep avoiding her”
“I wouldn't do that if I were you” she said to his back as he turned around
“Why not?” he grumbled, turning around to face her
“Well, it’s been so long nobody had made an attempt against her” Bucky froze on his spot, “Maybe they’ll try again” 
“Have you been trying to poison my wife and my child in her belly?” he asked carefully. And her face told him everything he needed to know, “How could you?”
“I wanted you back to me,” she said, “And… I didn’t want to do this, but if you don’t comply with me… I’ll do anything in my power, which is great, until I succeed”
“I should have you disemboweled” he grumbled
“Are you going to kill your pregnant mistress?” she asked, a wicked smile in her face, “I don’t think so”
“Just wait until my baby is out of there”
“Until then, you will do as I say, or I will fulfill my threats, I will poison her, and the child inside her”
“You are signing your death sentence” he murmured, enraged
“Perhaps” she said, “But I have nothing else to lose”
Bucky left his room with a deep frown, rubbing his face with his hands. He had a deep prickling sensation in his nose that wouldn't leave him alone, was he about to cry? He certainly wanted to, he wanted to see you. He wanted to see his unborn baby, caress your belly, I bet you were feeling so tired by now. He walked towards his council chambers, where he used to wait for his friend to come to meet him.
“As soon as Steve comes trough, you send him to me” he said firmly to Peter, who nodded 
It wasn’t log before he came in, entering the library where his friend stood 
“We haven't found him” Steve said firmly, accommodating himself in a chair across from his friend. Bucky’s frown seemed to deepen
“Steve, what about the Carter’s sympathizers inside the castle?”
“I don’t know anything about that yet” he murmured 
“I need to get rid of Sharon, she just admitted to me that she was the one behind the poison and the corset” 
“What?” snapped Steve 
“She told me that if I didn’t play at his bidding she will fulfill her threat and she will manage to poison the Queen and our baby”
“You don’t believe that!”
“She tried twice and almost succeeded” he said, “I’m not playing with the life of my wife and child”
“But you are hurting her” he said strongly, “By not seeing her” 
“Until I can figure out a way to destroy Sharon and her family’s influence, which is big, I can’t risk it”
“I’m going to find that bastard Rumlow” Steve sentenced, “And that will draw us closer to find the traitors”
“Good” he just whispered, “In the meantime, I need to get her to safety”
Tumblr media
Natasha walked with determination and with a smile when she met her undercover boss
“I need you somewhere else” he sentenced, looking at her with his one eye
“What do you mean?” her smiled got wiped out of her face 
“I found out that a squire for the Carter family has disappeared,” Nat looked at his mentor, boss and friend carefully, “it was said he was a favorite of Lady Sharon, I need you to find him, and figure out what happened”
“I can’t go far without raising suspicion”
“I’ll get you a replacement for your post at the side of the Queen, but if this leads to something big, it’s our way our to get rid of Sharon”
“Ok, tell her I got the plague or something”
“Which is something we need to take in mind” he grumbled under his breath, “I’ll tell Maria to fill in for you, she is one of us, one of Shield”
“Yes, I approve”
“Good, go now, and figure out where Rumlow is. I like the Kingsguard, and I like the Duke, but they are as inconspicuous as an Elephant in an antique shop,” Nat giggled but nodded
“I’ll do what I can without my cover being compromised”
“Go, now” 
Fury saw Natasha walk away as swiftly as she came and took a long breath. Not only the assassinations attempt agaist you had his mind riling but, the plague was threatening the country’s borders…
And suddenly, he had a plan in line to keep you safe.
He walked towards the privy council’s chambers, he swore with a long breath he was going to live forever, keeping walking from one place to another in this huge castle. 
The King saw him right away. These days he was looking gloom, sad even, to enthrall in his work, and that was out of character to him. He had always been a good and responsable king, but he always was seen energetic, with plans to go hunting or hosting parties, ut know, he was in a prison of his own making
“My King” he greeted
“Sir Fury” he responded, passing his hand through his hair 
“We have no knew of Rumlow’s whereabouts” he concreted
“Yes The duke already told me”
I have to make a suggestion, on behalf of the Queen’s safety” Bucky then looked at him with surprise on his face
“There had been some reports of Plague in the city already, and I think is best if we send her majesty away for a while”
“To where?” he mumbled, his eyes shiny with worry
“To her home”
Tumblr media
You read the letter with teary eyes, the letter in which your own husband, pleaded you, no, COMMANDED you to leave the castle and go stay in your old home, I mean, the castle in the Barton’s county, where you lived for 5 years
“Why would he do this to me?” you murmured, looking at Wanda
“He is saving you” she said, “A great part of the nobility is leaving the capitol, Lady Natasha is with the plague, soon it will spread all over the city and in the castle, is the safest thing to do” she convinced you
“Why hasn’t he seen me?” you asked then, “Did I do something wrong?”
“No my Queen” she said softly, caressing your arms, “he has to stay here, you know is custom to have the Kings in different places at a time like this, so if one catches the plague the other won’t and the monarchy can be saved” 
“It feels like he is getting rid of me” 
“He only does this because he loves you, Vision had told me so” she said with her energetic smile, “He says he had never seen the King so happy since he met you, and you know the Vision always tells the truth”
“Is he coming with us?” you asked, and she just smiled dreamly
“Actually he is” 
At least Wanda could be happy, he relationship with the Vision was evolving beautifully, and you knew it wasn’t long before he would ask for her hand in marriage 
In your state, your ladies and maids make sure you never had to do anything and it was getting very annoying, they wouldn’t even let you pick up what you wanted, you just had to sit on the bed and they would show you whatever they found and you gave your approval and they would pack it up for you.
Lady Maria was a beautiful woman, she was older than you, just like Sarah and just as nice and calm. Fury had presented her to you, giving you his blessing and although you didn’t want to replace Nat, he assured you this position was temporary. That lady Natasha was going to be ok
Even if the threat of a plague was something very real, you still think it was an excuse to send you away. You wish you could speak with Bucky, you missed him, and you tried to find him with no luck, he was always in meetings, or out of the palace
So when you saw him walking towards you when you were waiting your guards were done loading the carriages
“Bucky?” you called, wanting to cry when he encased your face with his big hands, it had been a month
“I'm sorry my love” he whispered against you lips, “I'm so sorry”
“Where were you?” you asked, whimpered ready, grabbing his wrists to make sure he wouldn’t just walk away from you. “What is going on?” youa sekd
“I'm sending you away for your own safety” he reassured you, kissing your forehead, “Can you believe that?” you nodded, “Please, please believe me” he begged, “I will explain everything but first I need you to get you safe, ok?” you nodded, looking into his beautiful blue eyes
“I believe you,” you were also dying to know what was going on, and being patient wasn’t really one of your attributes. He then kissed you deeply, his tongue found yours and they rubbed together, he seemed to be yearning for you just like you did him
“I will bring you back as soon as I can” he said when he separated himself from you, his hand then ended in your belly, “I'm taking care of both of you” he said firmly, “I miss you both”
“The baby started kicking you know?” you mentioned, and his eyes turned teary and worried
“Really?” you nodded
“They are strong kicks” 
“Do you think is a boy?” he asked and you just smiled
“I don’t know” you responded sincerely
“I will bring you back as soon as I can, and then everything is going to be alright ok?” you nodded gain, and then he leaned in and kissed you, engulfing you in his arms. 
“Everything is going to be ok” 
And with that he helped you get into the cushioned seat inside the carriage, and walked away as the caravan started. Taking you to your former home. 
Tumblr media
It's been a week in which Nat had been looking for that squire, finally finding him in a small village, on Carter’s state. where she found out he just bought the biggest farm in it, and was moving in with his family. Hinting he had a big payout. Nat could only guess what the payout was about…
She trailed him until the young man went alone to conduct some business and buy some animals for his new home. She followed him patiently, waiting for the second to strike. She wished she had backup, in case the man would fight back, but he looked so skinny and weak, it calmed her. It was funny, he did look like the King, he had the same color of eyes and hair. 
He took a detour, passing through a passageway, and that's the moment she knew she had to strike. 
She came in behind him with a burlap lap which she put over his head. Before he could start screaming she choked him with her arms around his throat, he struggled, tried to fight but he lost the fight against the redhead, falling limp to the stone floor. 
When he woke up, he found himself tied up inside an old barn, h tried to scream for help, but he shut himself up when he saw her, Nat standing right in front of him
“You…?” of course he remembered her from the royal Castle, Nat wasn’t an easy woman to forget. “What do you want?”
“You are going to tell me a little story” she demanded
“no, I can’t…”
“You know what I'm talking about” she tried 
“No!” he cried, but it was already too late, Nat showed him a knife she was hiding under her skirts, and showed it to him
“Why did you flee from his majesty's service?” she asked
“That’s what you are doing here?” he cried, “followed me because you want to know why I got tired of cleaning horse shit?” She slapped him so hard his head turned to the side
“Tell me” she demanded, threatening his neck with her knife
“You are going to get me killed!” he whined, “The carters are more dangerous than you know”
“Tell me” she demanded, “now!” he pressed only a little the knife, drawing blood from her neck 
“She… Lady Sharon, made me…”
“What did you do?” she demanded, “She told me to… have sex with her” he cried, “She ordered me, or she was going to hurt my family and really, we all did want to… I mean, she is a fine lady…”
“And you did”?
“Several times” he confessed
“When?”
“When she arrived” 
“She, who?” 
“The Queen” he cried, “Sharon was jealous, she wanted a baby, that could pass as the King’s” 
“Of course she did” she grunted and released him, “If you tell everyone I paid you a visit I will know and I will tell the King of your involvement in this” she threatened. The man just nodde, Nat pushed him again to knock him out, and released his bindings, leaving him alone in the barn while she walked away
Now that she had this piece of information, she needed to communicate it to Fury, but she was a day away, and she was closest to where Rumlow was rumored to be… in the south… near the border… it would be a waste of time to come back to the capitol only to try to leave to come back to this area. 
She put on a cape, hiding her identity, and got on top of her horse who was waiting for her. She needed to get to the next town before nightfall. She knew Rumlow was hiding there, waiting for a ship to take him to the other continent; she used all of her net of contacts and snitches. She was getting close, she could feel it. And unknown to her, The duke was also closing in, they were in the same mission, but in different paths
It was night when Natasha reached the little inn she was staying at, but what she wasn’t counting on, is how close the Duke actually was, so when she got into the inn and took off her hood, it was too late, she came face to face with the blonde man, who, as well as she, was hiding in common clothes
“Lady Natasha?” Nat stood there in shock, and turn around to meet the Duke Steve Rogers, “What the fuck?” he cursed
“Language Captain” she teased, He grabbed her by the arm and took her outside the Inn, so they could speak more privately 
“What are you doing here?” he was so shocked he didn’t even know what to say, what to ask, “what is going on?”
“I’ve been sent to find Rumlow” she explained simply, it was admitting the truth or being  accused of treason, and Nat was many things, but not a traitor 
“But why?” he mumbled, “Why you?”  and then his eyes light up with cleverness, “Are you a spy?”
“Something like that” she said
“Tell me” he demanded, his body hovering over her until her back was against a tree, “Tell me or I swear…”
“What?” she teased again, with a maneater smile
“I’ll tell everyone you are a spy,” she took a long sigh, and decided to confess
“I'm here to help you apprehend Rumlow” she admitted, “My boss sent me”
“Who is your boss?”
“The leader of a secret organization called SHIELD” she said bluntly
“SHIELD?”
“We are an international and secret society, whose work is to protect the integrity of this and many other realms
“Are you messing with me?” he asked, she only shook her head
“I’m the one who found the folly guards who still worked with Rumlow” she confess then, and Steve stood still
“Who more like you are in the castle?”
“Not enough, sadly” she muttered, “I will help you get Rumlow as a token of my fealty, but I cannot tell you anything else” she said softly, and Steve seemed to think about her offer and then nodded
“Help me find Rumlow, and I will keep your secret,” because his father along with Tony´s father were members of SHIELD, so he believed her. Even though he always believed it wasn’t real. And it was a silly name they put on themselves 
After 10 minutes, they were sharing a hot meal and a horn of ale in the Inn
“So Sharon fucked her squire… so the baby she is expecting isn’t the King´s” he muttered
“Yep” she mumbled against her ale
“what a sick woman”
“She got addicted to power and wouldn’t let go” she whispered
“And he was comically similar to the King, in looks” Steve opened his mouth widely in shock
“We need to go back and warn the King” he said firmly, “That crazy woman could actually poison the Queen”
“We cannot go back before we find Rumlow” Nat said, “all of this would be for nothing”
“He is leaving the continent, perhaps is not such a bad idea” he grumbled
“But if he doesn’t admit that he was working with Sharon, we will never be able to dismantle her network of sypathizers” Nat explained, and Steve felt almost dumb on comparison to her
“Ok, but how do we know? I mean, he was the captain of the King’s guard, he is the toughest of the toughest, he will never admit to be working with Sharon”
“You might be right, but we don’t have any other choice” 
"You and me?" he mocked, "We will never catch him" he grumbled, "And specially not witht he entire group of guards behind me"
"That's why we're coming alone, the both of us..." she muttered, with a wicked smile
"Is not that I don't trust you..." Steve said, "But he was the Captain of the King's guard, and we both are..." Nat only smiled
Tumblr media
Even though not being around Sharon was a blessing for Bucky, actually not knowing where she was… was unnerving. It suited him ill, like she was a poisonous snake ready to strike. 
He never felt like this… so powerless, he was the fucking King! and yet now he felt like a simple man, being manipulated and pulled around like he was some sort of puppet. It was kind of ironic how he didn’t want to get married in the first place, thinking that that is what was going to tie him up… but in the end, it turned out to be the exact opposite
By your side he felt like the strongest man alive… and not being with you made him powerless, a puppet.
But his train of thoughts was cut short when he found Sharon… in the throne room, in the place that he created… for you. She was sitting comfortably in your throne
“Sharon, get the fuck away from there” he grunted, his jaw so tense it could cut glass
“Bucky, c´mon” she teased, caressing her big belly, “This is what was always supposed to be” 
The scene before his eyes made him sick to his stomach 
“Sharon I fucking mean it” he demanded, “Get the fuck away from that throne or I swear you’ll come to terms on your pregnancy in the tower!”
“I was supposed to be Queen!” she yelled, making Bucky stop from grabbing her and throw her off of your throne
“You know that is not true!” he yelled, pointing at her with his finger, “since the day she was born she was promised to me, since I was ten yeards old!”
“But you chose me!” she counteraced, “You fucked me, you sleep with me!” 
“And I never regretted something more” he said bitterly, “You pushed your luck, Sharon… he looked away from her, “Guards!” Peter came rushing alongside other guards, ready and at his disposition, “Take Lady Sharon to the Tower, make sure she has anything she needs” 
She didn’t even fighted as she rose from the throne and let the guards grab her softly by the arms 
“It would be a shame if something happens to her Bucky” she mocked
“You can’t touch her now” he said, as he watched Sharon being taken away. And he prayed for his advisors and his trusted men to be right, that now you were in your home, and there, nobody could touch you, everyone adored you. 
Should he come to you? Would Sharon know where you were? Can she reach you? so many questions ran through Bucky’s head. So many questions and any answers, he relied on his friend, on Steve, and he was across the country 
“Lady Sharon is in the tower” Peter said shakely, “What should we do about her?” 
“We need to wait for Duke Rogers. He will have answers for us, ok?” the young man nodded, 
He was a mess without you, he didn’t even know what his friends, and court would say if they found out that since you left, he had been sleeping in your bed, in the Queen’s chambers. the bed smelled like you and he needed you next to him right now. After two months of Sharon´s torture you were so close he could almost feel you, being with you again
So he sneaked out of your room in the morning, ready to start the day. He needed to get ready to face the Carter House, it wouldn’t take long before they found out he locked up their daughter. So he needed to be prepared. 
But what he didn’t expect was watching Peter run towards him… the kid looked scared, and windy, but before he could get any words in. The double doors of the entrance to the place opened wide, and Steve walked through them. he was also catching his breath
“What is going on?” he demanded, looking at his friend
“We got him!” he yelled, “We got Rumlow, he confessed” this was the best news he could hear, “It's over for Sharon” Steve said to Bucky, “I got Rumlow, more than happy to testify for all of his accomplices and hers” the look on the King’s face was priceless. Bucky hugged Steve tightly
“I owe you” he whispered in his ear. 
“I know” he whispered back
“Mmmm” both men separated to see the flustered guard… “My King?”
“What is it kid?”
“Lady Sharon… she is missing”
“WHAT?” 
“Nobody could find her. She left the castle”
“She was detained!” he yelled
“She still has friends in the castle” murmured Steve, “I have the list but it will take time before we can do a cleanse” the three man shared looks
“What do we do now?” he asked
“I’ll send men to look for her” he said firmly, “and I… with mine and Wilson´s trusted men will clean the Castle of the Carter´s sympathizers”
“Thank you” he breathed out
“Now… you need to see her” Steve said with a big smile
He rode his horse with such speed his guards had trouble keeping up with him, and he arrived so hastily the castle didn’t even have time to announce him, he just opened the front doors of the palace at nightfall like a force of nature, and he ran to the second floor where he knew you would be. 
You were reading in your room, your ladies around you, trapped in their own reading, but you were interrupted by your guard opening the door. 
“His Majesty, The King” the page announced, as Bucky entered hastily, Wanda was fast to help you on your feet
“My love” he greeted you, taking your hand between his
“My King” you muttered, God why did you have to love him so much? You were a Queen, you were above those mundane things, he understood that, you were his duty, and you should be thankful he made all of this agreeable, pleasant even, but you needed to understand that he wasn't yours
“Leave us, please” he asked looking at all the ladies, you nodded and all of them did as he commanded
“Did you come here to see me?” you asked softly, smiling shyly
“I told you I would get you as soon as I could” he muttered, was he faking the adoration that loomed in his eyes? “I missed you” you let yourself believe him, as you returned his smile, and let your eyes communicate to him the same adoration 
“I miss you too” because you did. He place a hand in your big stomach
“How are you feeling?”
“A bit tired, but that's all” he cradled your face in his hands and he kissed you, tenderly. Oh, you loved him so much, you leaned in as he hugged you tightly, only your bump in between you, he giggled in your ear, he separated from you shortly, you took both his hands and placed them in your belly, the baby was kicking, thrilled of hearing it´s father´s voice, you were certain. 
“Hello little one” he muttered, his eyes glassy and his smile wide, he leaned in and kissed your belly, “Let's take to bed” he whispered
“But Bucky, we can’t”
“We don´t need to have sex to share the bed” he took your hand and lead you to your bedchambers.
Once you were there, he slowly turned to you, kissing you softly, he helped you undress, caressing you as he did, leaving you in your nightgown, he took off his clothes as well.
And you both laid in your bed, he hugged you tightly against him, kissing your head, and whispering soft words in your ear, as his hands roamed your arms and back softly. And for you all of it was forgiven
“I love you” he said
“You do?” you asked, not believing him
“I do” he said “I really do”
“I love you too” but his betrayal weighed heavily in your chest, “Why did you leave me?” you asked, looking into his eyes for answers, “I thought you had forsaken me” you muttered, enjoying his embrace
“Never, my love” he responded kissing your temple
“What happened?” you asked, “Tell me the truth”
“Sharon was threatening your life” he said firmly, “She is pregnant, and she threatened me that if I didn’t resume our relationship with her, she not only tell you, but she was going to poison you” all the air left your lungs as the truth unraveled in front of you
“What did you do?”
“With the help of Fury we dismantled her network of people that were helping her, but that took time” you didn't know what to say, all this time, he was protecting you
“Why didn’t you tell me?” you murmured 
“I wanted to protect you” he responded quietly, “You and the baby”
“Promise me you’ll ever leave me in the dark again, I’m your Queen, it’s my job to be by your side” you demanded, grabbing his hands in yours
“Sometimes I forget how strong you are” he whispered, “I promise” he said against your temple as he kissed you good night

My love, his duty // Chapter 6
Tumblr media
MASTERLIST
Chapter Summary: Your king pleases you in taking you away from court, just the two of you
Pairing: King!Bucky Barnes x Princess!Reader (very ambiguously described)
Chapter Warnings: PURE SEXXX Sex, Sex, Sex, kidding, teeth rotting fluff, smut, oral sex (m and f recieving), fingering, all very vanilla I must say, mentions of past indiscretions, conversations about sin, sex, and religion, just two royal bananas falling in love.
+18 please. (but just for explicit sex scenes)
Word Count (Chapter): 4.2 k
Notes: This is more of a fun chapter, almost a drabble.
This chapter lasts like a month from start to finish, they are in the royal version of a honeymoon.
I must say, I really really enjoy writing this story, and I´m so happy you are enjoying it too, but also, sometimes when I re-read it, I see some really gringe mistakes I make, I will be working hard on polishing those, so you can read the story better :) I might edit some phrases and grammatical errors from past chapters, but the story and conversations will of course remain the same
Tumblr media
“Sharon” he started, “After many years, I´m afraid this relationship must come to an end, you must retire from court”
“But, My King” she said, “Why?” His look told her everything she needed, “Because of her?” she asked, outraged, “You have met her for less than a month”
“She is my wife!”
“You didn't care about that” she spitted, “When you were fucking me a fortnight before your wedding!”
“You don't speak to me in that way!” he growled
“You love me! as much as I love you!” she accused
“Sharon” he started, “I am sorry”
“You said that it was only for the alliance” she growled, “That you loved me” he called her in fact, “my love” he wouldn't say explicitly he loved her though
“I know, and I am very sorry, but she is my wife, and I want to respect her, and I promised I´ll gave her a chance”
“You are abandoning me” she accused
“I´m very sorry, we have been together for ten years, and I assure you I enjoyed every day of it” he said softly, this was breaking his heart as well, he did not love her, but she was a loyal friend and a passionate and compliant lover. But it had to come to an end. Steve was right, you were kind and good and didn't deserve his adultery
“You are going to expel me from court?”
“I'm trying to keep your dignity” he warned, “You may retire to the house and title I gifted you, as a Duchess, it will remain the same for you and your successors, as I promised, with a hefty monthly sum for you”
“So you will hide me?”
“I believe it will save all of us trouble by doing so”
“You think you can buy me off?” he sigh, losing his already thin patience
“I gifted you those things because I cared for you and your dignity,” he said, more serious each time.
“You ruined me!” she accused, still not shearing tears
“I believe I warned you so when we first starting being together, you knew I couldn´t offer you anything else but my bed and a title” he reminded her, “But if you want, I will make a great match for you” he said softly
“I don't want to!” she yelled
“Sharon I have offered my apologies and compensation, I am done” he signaled his guard to open the door for her
“Wait” she said, “I understand this relation has come to an end, but,” he looked at her, waiting patiently, “I wish to stay in court, and tent to her” Bucky thought about it, he found it troublesome, “It is in fact a great honour, and I will find more prospects of a marriage here in court, now the high season is approaching”
“Very well, you have two months” he said firmly, she nodded and bowed and left the room
He sigh heavily as he dropped to the chair behind him, he should banish her, but she was in some measure, right. He had drove away every prospect of marriage for her, for ten years, he wanted to help her to ease his conscience
You were right, you both needed some time alone away from court. So he made his decision
Tumblr media
“So, you are taking the Queen away?” asked Steve
“Yes, I finally seen what is needed for our marriage to grow fonder, and I want to please her in this”
“This is great”
“At first I had my reservations, since I didn't know how the union was going to turn out, and with the rumours of the rise of the lords in the north, I must say I was scared for both our safeties if we took the royal tour” he took a pause for the information to sink in before he continued, “that's why I intent her to take her to the south, to visit the bath houses of our ancestors”
“A very romantic scenery if I must say” The royal castle of the southern region, called Madripoor, was one of a kind, it was styled after a ancient culture, with delicate styled rooms filled with jewels and incredible architecture, big balconies showing the deepest of the forest of the region, and also, big baths in which you can enjoy all day a warm temperature waters
“Yes, exactly” he said, excited, “And I want the preparations for the coronation finished when we come back, I can't wait any longer to put that crown in her head, with the rumours of the uprising so close, a big coronation might soothe those who plan to raise against us” he stopped, and smiled dumbly, finally looking at Steve, “Besides, I believe we don't have much time before she is with child” Steve smiled widely, clearly following the smile on his friend´s face
“As soon as you come back then, and when would that be?” he asked
“Two fortnights” he said, “Good luck, Vision is in charge till I get back” he said hastily before disappearing through a corner
“I'll let him know!” he yelled, amused
Tumblr media
“And raise your arm towards the south” you commanded, “and turn!” you turned around to find your ladies giggling and trying to dance, following your instructions
“We need a dance teacher!” giggled Wanda, trying to keep up with her own feet
“Nonsense, the instructions are clear!” you said. Smiling widely. The only thing you had was a letter describing the instructions for the latest imperial dance teached at the imperial court, “And jump with the knees high!” you said, but the results were hilarious, “Wait just let me….” you grabbed the letter and read it carefully, “Oh I think I'm teaching you the male part”
“Ohhh come on!” yelled Wanda, and you laughed
“I´m sorry, my asgardian is a little rusted” they all giggled as Sarah took the piece of paper from you and read it
“Yep, we were learning the male part of the dance” she said smiling widely, and you all broke in a big laugh again
“I´m sorry!” you laughed
“His majesty the King!” chanted your private Usher, interrupting your giggles, when you and all your ladies bowed to Bucky when he appeared through the tall and squared bushes of the garden
“My Queen!” he greeted with that smiled you liked so much, “I have great news”. he took your hands in yours and kissed them
“What is it?” you murmured
“We´ll leave the court, just you and me, what do you think?” you heard the whispers and sigh of your ladies
“I'll love that” you giggled, “Where are you taking me?”
“To Madripoor castle” he said, “prepare your things we leave as soon as possible”
“Thank you so much,” you said, smiling widely. He kissed you swiftly and, as soon as he came, he left, leaving you again with his ladies, that surrounded you, giggling and whispering
“Oh my! How romantic!”
“Just the two of you? I´m so excited for you”.
“Thank you all so much” you thanked, as you took Wanda and started walking back to the castle to gather your things, but before you could go far enough, you heard, clear as water
“I´ve been there and I can say it is an awful place” snickered lady Sharon.
You pretended you didn't hear her as Wanda grabbed your hand tightly and kept walking. If she had been there it was probably because the King took her there
Tumblr media
You had a trunk filled with dresses and jewelry, and Wanda helped you change to your hunting attire for the journey.
As two guards took your trunk to the side doors of the castle, you walked with Wanda by your side to meet the King
“You seem to be tied to the hip” he observed, smiling softly, but to prove him wrong you parted from Wanda to settle between his open arms and kiss him softly
“We can be untied for a good reason” you purred. You turned softly to see Wanda smile at you.
“Take care of the castle while we are gone” said Bucky softly, Wanda nodded enthusiastically, “and if you find it in your heart to be bored, you may tend to The Vision, that is certainly where the fun is going to be while we are not here”
“You go relax, and I will keep this ship going” she promised
“She will rule this place with an iron fist,” you whispered in his ear. He chuckled, leaving you to hug Wanda for one last time before you both entered the carriage.
The ride had been long and tiring, when you reached the castle, it was already dark, and you could not see the scenery clearly. Jmaes helped you get out of the carriage, making a dismissal of the young groom that opened the door of the carriage for you
“Their majesties” chanted the Usher, “King James the third, and Queen (Y/N)” he presented. A the entire household in charge of this castle, presented themself to the both of you
All of the castles in the country had an owner, even if the most important ones belonged to the King, he assigned titles and families to take care of his most important states but this castle in particular, it was James´ favorite, and he would have no one living but himself when he managed to visit
“Your majesties, it is the honor of my life to welcome you to the castle of Madripoor.” A thin man bowed before you
“Thank you for receiving us” you said softly, as the eyes of the man glimmered in admiration
The king then walked until he was close to the man and he leaned in to whisper in his ear
“As you must understand” Bucky whispered in the man's ear, ”We are just married, and we would like nothing but privacy in our stay”
“Your household will become nothing else but little mice you majesty” he promised, smiling awkwardly
You walked the big halls of the castle in wonder, admiring the architecture of the place, you had never seen anything like it. Jewels decorating the arches of the hallway, and rich tapestries and soft silk decorating the walls. You only woke up from your haze when James took your hand softly
“Where am I to sleep?” you asked softly, he chuckled
“With me in the master bedroom of course” he said. Your cheeks heated up at the thought. “We didn´t brought any servants so is up to one another help the other dress and undress” he said with a wicked smile, and your temperature grow so much you felt you could faint
He took your hand in his as he lead you through the small castle, into the double doors at the end of the hallway
“I can't wait to bathe with you tomorrow” he purred in your ear
“What do you mean?” you asked
“This castle is famous for their bathwaters”
Tumblr media
“And I want all the tapestries in this room changed, we are bringing this castle into this XVI century” Wanda dictate to the secretary, who was writing it all down, “I Want also to change the monthly menu, it's boring and unsavory, I shall send for Spices from Wakanda itself if I must ”
Wanda walked towards the throne room, to inspect it
“And most importantly” she said, smiling widely, she took a piece of thick paper from the pocket of her dress. She opened it up to show to her small group of followers, your coat of arms. “The new Queen of Brooks coat of arms” half of it was the shield of your family, and the other belonged to the King. The white wolf scratching a silver and blue shield, and at the other side, the beast representing your house, and your colours. “I want this sewn into everything you can get your hands on, we shall hang her new banners in the Queen's side of the hall, and in her throne” she demanded, and everyone there noded.
She was oblivious to the group of men watching her, all of them entertained, as they met in a long table at one side of the hall
“I´m sorry, but what is all this?” The Vision appeared in her eyesight, to all the hubbub Wanda, the ladies and the poor servants that came across them were making
“Well the King and Queen left me in charge of the castle and I decided to make some changes to all the tapestries and furniture” she said simply
“I'm afraid it must be a mistake, my most gracious lady, I´m in charge” he said softly, but amused, since he thought he had meet his match in this colourful and beautiful lady
“You are the one that´s mistaken M´lord” she said, placing her hands on her hips in a powerful stance. “I'm in charge” Vision looked at her and found mischievousness, and he liked it. As much as she liked his soft demeanour.
“Well, we should come to an agreement, won´t you think?” he said, his cheeks glowing red. Wanda smiled wickedly
“I think it must be in everyone's interest to do so” she said, pretending to be thinking about it
Steve just watched the exchange, amused
Tumblr media
“Faster!” you yelled, but you could barely speak, by the tiring exercise
“I'm coming!” The King yelled back, and you giggled, “I'll catch you!”
“Yeah sure!” you laughed. “You need riding lessons my King?”
“Are you mocking me?” you stopped your horse when you reached the treeline, the finish line for your made up race. James was only a few strodes after you, and catched you in no time
“I would never dare to do so, M´Lord” you purred, with a mocking smile
“I thought so” he responded with a smile of the same caliber
“So, let´s hunt, then” you murmured.
“Wait, I don't want you to kill him” you pleaded, softly touching his tightened arm
“Why not?” he asked, surprised
“Look at him” it was a beautiful Stag, with big beautiful antlers, “He is the king of the forest” you whispered. You felt his lips in your cheek, kissing you sloppily
“My strong and merciful Queen”
“But that boar though” you whispered
“Oh yeah, you like boars” you smiled and nodded. As you raised the bow and arrow
“Ah ah ah, just like this” he breathed in your ear, as he wrapped his arms around yours, covering your hands with his, and his face so close to your you could feel the warmth of his skin
“Like this?” you asked, innocently, you knew perfectly well how to shoot an arrow, but you let him teach you, you like him being so close to you, enveloped around you. You both released the arrow and it flew threw the air, hitting the target perfectly
“Yes like that” his hands traveled from your arms to your waist, and you turned your head to look at him, finding him so close to you, and his plump lips so close to yours, you couldn't help it, and leaned in to kiss him.
The bow was long forgotten on the floor, and his hands roamed your body, and your focused on hugging him onto you, as his mouth devoured yours
“Let's stop this or I will ravage you here in the middle of the woods” you giggled into his mouth
“We should get back to the castle then”
. . .
In front of you was the most amazing thing you had ever seen an incredible pool of warm water, all of it in a magnificent room, decorated with precious stones carved into the wall and beautiful paintings as well of angels and magical creatures
“Oh wow” you muttered. you felt his hands on your dress, tugging at the cord that held your corset together
“Do you want to take a bath, Your Majesty?” he asked softly in your ear, making you shake
“Yeah I do, Your Majesty” you giggled back, feeling your body tingle with his voice and his touch. He kissed your neck as he got rid of one layer of your dress, leaving you only with a thin fabric, resembling your nightgown. Suddenly you felt ashamed and you hugged yourself, trying to cover up, he paid you no mind and he got rid of your layer as well
“Why are you covering like that?” he purred, surrounding you with his arms. You felt immediate relief as you grabbed his arms softly
“I'm embarrassed of being all naked like this” you whispered
“There is only you and me here, no other” he purred in your ear
“Yeah I know” you said softly. He left your trembling body and felt him moving behind you. You turned around slowly, to help him get rid of his clothes, he smiled when he saw you, with trembling fingers helping him get rid of his thick coat, followed quickly by his thin shirt. You let him get rid of his pants, and boots, and suddenly he was as naked as you were.
“Let's get into the bath” he purred, you took the hand he was offering you, to help you sinked into the warm waters. The feeling instantly soothed you, and Bucky let go of you to float into the clear waters, and you enjoyed the feeling and also the shelter that it gave you from his burning gaze
You curled up against the edge of the bath
“Why are you so far away?” he asked, acting annoyed, “I don't like it, you shall come here to me” you giggled but floated around to meet him in the middle. He received you between his strong arms to hold you against his chest.
You looked into his deep blue eyes and you felt yourself melting into him like you were one, as you floated around together, hugging and just basking in each other's presence
“This is amazing” you muttered, and he hummed in approval. He leaned in and kissed you, tenderly. You hummed in his mouth and let him drag you to the end of the pool
He grabbed you and took you out of the water, making you laid down on the edge of the bath, he was on you in a second, his water dripping body encasing yours as he leaned in and took your mouth in his in a breathless kiss, but even if your body wanting to surround everything you had to him, you mind was picking at you
“Hey, what's the matter my love?” he asked, at noticing your distress
“I´ve been always taught this kind of behaviours are like… unlikely of a princess, let alone a Queen” you didn't know how to express your concerns
“What happens between us in intimacy is our matter alone, not the church´s, not the council, nor the court, only us Queen and King” he looked for understanding in your factions and you gave it to him, nodding softly, “With that being said!” he said with a smirk that made your legs buckle, he grabbed your thighs, spreading them softly, his face lined up with your intimacy
“What are you…? OHHH” you interrupted your own wondering with a deep moan when you felt his lips covering your slick pussy, “Oh James, what is this?” you asked, as he started licking and kissing your intimacy. You were soon clouded with pleasure, and you couldn't help but take one of your hands and take it to his head, grabbing his dark locks and intertwining them into your fingers. There wasn't long before you felt that knot tightening inside of you, and before you could control it, you were having your orgasm in his mouth.
He then still comfortably laid between your legs, he rested his head on your belly, hugging your body with his thick arms around your thighs. You tried to regain your breathing as you caressed his hair
“That was just...“you moaned, not being able to express it with words, and Bucky laughed, the sound rumbling against your skin.
“I'm not done with you yet” he got on his feet, not before he grabbed you, and raised you from the floor. You shrieked of the thrill and hugged him tightly, begging him not to drop you. He walked back to the room, and dropped you on the bed
“I want you on top this time” he said, climbing on the bed with you, grabbing you by your thighs and putting you on top of him, straddling him, “ride me My Queen”
Tumblr media
He was falling for you, hard
The first clue was when he woke up one morning, and his heart jumped in his chest when he couldn´t find you lying next to him, he searched desperately around the room, and nothing, you weren't there
And then he heard soft splashes in the bath. He walked gently towards the double doors, and there you were
He looked at you and couldn´t believe what he was seeing, your beautiful body floating around in the big pool of heated water, those eyes that seemed to find him wherever he was, that shy smile you drew only for him. You incarnated the stories he'd heard from sailors and pirates, those who told tells of beautiful and bewitching women, that were capable of dragging men to crash into rocks only with the power of their voice and their eyes
He would jump off a cliff if you´d ask him to
These last weeks had been so dreamed-like, for a moment in his life he never thought he'd married, and now… there you were.
The drastic changes in his life in the past month would have altered anyone, but not him, others weren't married to you, others did not have you. You came into his life like a wild horse, changing everything you touched, but as it seemed, you changed everything for the better
“Are you going to join me, My King?” when you folded your arms in the edge of the pool and you looked at him with those beautiful eyes
Yeah he was a goner
Tumblr media
“Are you challenging me? Wife” he threatened, raising his brunette eyebrow
“Perhaps I am, Husband” you responded, raising your own eyebrows, suggestively “When they told me about you they said you never feared a good challenge” you teased
“Oh really?” he said, frowning
“I'm afraid they lied to me” you challenged, “You are playing safe”
“Then I raise you,” he said as he dropped more coins into the growing pile in the middle of the table
“Very well, I match” you giggled, dropping the same amount, and that's when you saw his face
“Let's see” he dropped into the table three Spades
“My queens beat your Spades,'' you said, dropping 3 queens to the table. He looked at you baffled, couldn´t believe what he was seeing
“You provoked me on purpose,” he said, dead serious.
“I might” you said
“And you beat me”
“Something tells me you don't lose too often” you questioned. Bucky stood up, his chair dropping to the floor by the force, and he grabbed the small cards table and threw it, sending all the coins and cards on it flying. You shriek, as you hear the clink sound of the gold hiting he floor alongside the table, not knowing if you should be scared or amused.
It was the latter. He pounced on you, grabbing you by the waist and laying you on the floor by the hearth on top of wolf furs. You threw another sharp shriek followed by a giggle when he position himself on top of you in a blink of an eye
“You'll see what I do to cheaters” he purred as he sank into your neck, planning in devouring you whole
Tumblr media
Time flew by with your daily horseback ridings, having lunch in the forest, then ride back to the castle to take endless baths, to eat an early dinner and then spend the early nights playing cards, or just laying around in the balcony, enjoying the warm temperature, you both would lay on big pillows and carpets on the floor, his head on your lap, as you caressed his hair and read for him, tales of adventures from princes and princesses that lived in this palace before you. You made love in all possible places and ways, until your shyness was completely ripped from you and all was left what complete surender for Bucky
It was like a dream
You were totally at his mercy, you felt in the clouds everytime he even looked at you, everytime he touched you, your heart pounded inside your chest, tyin to jump off
But like all dreams, it must come to a end
“Can't we stay here forever?” you asked, the morning of the day you had to go back to the capital. You pouted to him, begging him to stay even more time, Bucky gave you a bright smile
“And exist here, living naked, bathing in big baths eating fruit?” he asked, raising his brown brow
“Yes” you said simply, “Like pure hedonists” He laughed loudly
“I´ll make you a deal, as soon as our firstborn turns 18 years old, we make them King or Queen and we leave the sucker to deal with everything and we retire here”
“Yes!” you shouted, throwing yourself at him, hugging him tightly, he laughed in your ear and the sound gave you joy

Tumblr media
“Sharon, you are running out of time, what else do you want from me?” he asked
“I wanted to talk to you about something important” she said
“What is it?”
“I want us to resume our relationship, it's been three months already and I think it's been enough for you to realize what you really want, I mean, she is with child, you fulfilled the purpose, I know you love me…”
“I don't anymore” He said, “I love her! This had been enough Sharon, I want you to leave”
“I'm pregnant” she said hastily, refusing to hear it. The king looked at her astonished
“I don't believe you” he whispered
“You’d congratulate her but dismiss me?” she said, “Your lover of ten years?”
“Yes, exactly, we´ve been together for 10 fucking years and you had never gotten pregnant, and now that I wish to part fom you, you are miracously with child?”
“You hurt me” she accused
“If this is a lie…” he threatened and paused, measuring his words carefully, “You will be expelled from court but with no country home to go to!”
Tears fell from her eyes, as she tugged the fabric of her loose dress towards her back. And Bucky gasped when he saw her already round belly. But she quickly wiped her tears and looked at him with deep anger in her eyes. He swallowed, hard, at the look of rage in her face.
“I’ll give you anything you want” he said, “But please don't go near her” she laughed bitterly
“he won't see me or know anything about this, if… we resume our relationship” Sharon knew, she knew if she could have him by her side he would forget all about her, he would come back to her, like he had done all these years, “So… my king” she asked, tears running down her cheeks, “What are you going to do?”
Tumblr media
“Is worse than we thought” Nat mumbled to Fury, “I’m not sure yet, but the guards that were on post the night the treats were delivered…”
“They must know what is going on” Fury completed
“But I cannot question them myself” she said, “I have to investigate through them”
“Do what you must, we need to stop this threat” said the counselor, “I will keep my eye into them as well”
“We have a couple of maids in our side too” she answered
“Well, round them up, and what about Sharon?”
“I still can’t find anything to make her leave”
“You have to hurry”
“One of the maids said… she is with child” there was a dead silence while they seated by the gardens
“Gods” Fury muttered
“She still isn't showing very much, I need to find out if it’s the king’s” she whispered
“We need to assume it is” responded Fury
“But if it's not… that’s the leverage we need”
“Keep searching for Sharon, but don’t dismiss the guards” he continued, “We are getting heat from all fronts, and that’s strange, I get a feeling it might be connected”
“That Sharon is behind the attempts of poisoning?” even Natasha found it strange
“Remember that behind Sharon, there is a big important family”
“I will, for now, the guards had been changed to loyalist without suspicion, and the ones from that night had been assigned to less important things to protect”
“Good, that way, no one is going to miss a non important guard” Nat smiled wickedly and nodded, “our main goal is to keep her safe”
“I will, with my life” Fury just smiled and Natasha walked away
Tumblr media
You didn't know what was going on
Since you found Sharon entering James´ private chambers, you had been avoiding your own husband like he was the plague incarnated, in hopes of keep being calm for the sake of the baby, your belly had swollen beautifully, as days turn to weeks
But what hurt was that James hadn't tried to make contact with you either, he kept giving you excuses without you asking for them, excuses for his long hunting trips, and the long meetings that prevent him to even have dinner at your side
There has been no more attempts against you or the prince, you knew as much, since Wanda told you anything she knew about those poisoned treats someone send you, and that’s why your King had been so busy, he was taking care of it, allegedly
You also noticed Sharon was missing, and that only made you more suspicious, and at the same time, more upset. Were they together? He had given you his word, perhaps it didn’t mean much. You were all alone now, Wanda in the skies with Vision’s attention, and Bucky nowhere in sight
You felt your chest heavy with sadness, you thought he had grow to care for you, and your mind was tormented with memories you two had made together, like in your journey to Madripoor, or your mother’ crown, or the numerous times you had slept right next to him… your coronation, the way he stood up to your father.
Did all of that mean nothing?
You took a deep breath as delicious fragrances from the flowers of the garden reach your nose, and you decided to sit in the edge of the water fountain, to enjoy the beautiful day, and the gardens that had bloomed in all their might
“My Queen” you rose your head from the fountain to gaze upon Duke Rogers, who came on your direction with his flock of loyal servants and guards “I must say you are a divine sight of motherhood” you smiled shyly, as you put a hand over your swollen belly
“You are too kind your Grace” you muttered
“Even so, you look unwell, should I look for a physician?”
“Please don't trouble yourself” you said, as you intended to rise from your seat, Steve came to your help as he graciously helped you, taking your hands and rose you to your feet “I'm happy to say our King´s child is strong, but I'm also sorry to say is drawing his strength from me” you said, smiling weakly
“Please, tell me what's troubling your Majesty” he urged, as you took deep breaths
“I´m afraid they are marital problems” you wanted it to reach the King how bitter you were, and what better option to make that happen with his most trusted friend's ear?
“My Queen?” he asked, alarmed
“Well, my holy condition will not allow the King and I to be together, and I totally understand why his loneliness would make him seek... his old companion”
“Does that upset you, your Majesty?” he asked, as seriousness took hold of his factions
“Yes, I can't help it” you said, after taking a large breath
“Why don't you just get rid of her?” he asked so naturally, and that made you shiver
“I know better” you whispered “Queen's heads had been lost for less than to come across his King’s and his mistress”
“Your majesty, the King adores you with all his heart” he said “it weighs heavily in his heart that he cannot be with you, so he takes his frustrations on someone else”
“He won’t even see me in the daytime” you said, you grief sneaking through your words, “I’m starting to think that, now that he had succeeded in his purpose, he won’t…” you couldn’t even finish that sentence, “That he doesn't care for me”
“That’s not true” he said softly, “He loves you, I’m sure of it”
“I would like to address this no further” you said “I came to the gardens to distract myself from this”
“Of course”
You continued to stroll through the magnificent gardens, that were your personal favorite part of the palace, the rich fountains and all kinds of plants and flowers
“Why won't you marry?” you asked, wishing to ponder upon other things, after all, that's what you meant to do when you visited the gardens
“I´m afraid it pained me so the loss of my wife and child, I married the court and his Majesty´s service instead”
“I'm so very sorry” you said, looking at him as he stop his stroll to return the look “I didn't know”
“We were young” he said, as you both resumed the walk “barely come of age, and I asked her to marry me, we did so, we were expecting our first child, it was a complicated pregnancy, and she died in childbirth, her and the boy” you gasped, as without thinking your hands cradled your belly “I´m so very sorry for this gruesome tale, your majesty”
“I´m the one who should be sorry, to bring you back so painful memories” you muttered
“It's been a long time since,” he said after a long sigh
“Maybe one day you’ll find love again” you whispered, with a reassuring smile
“I really hope so” he answered back, smiling at you
The Duke kept walking alongside you, until he left right at the doors of you own rooms
For the first time since he had memory, he was mad, mad at his friend, and at his King, Steve opened the door to James’ office, to find his friend deep in paperwork
“Bucky” Steve called “your Queen found out about your reunion with Sharon, she is upset”
“Shit” he cursed, slapping his wooden desk “how?”
“I´m not sure, I think she just saw Sharon entering your chambers” he grunted, not daring to look at his friend “I don´t understand it” Steve reprimanded “why do you do this to her?”
“Steve you don´t understand, I wasn't intimate with her, she… wanted to see me”
“She wanted to talk to you?”
“Yes, we just talked, her time to leave court is almost upon us, and… She had some news for me”
“What news?”
“Sharon is pregnant”
“What?”
“She is already showing” he murmured, “She is further along than the Queen, so I have to keep her away from her, and if I don’t keep her close to me, she will go on and talk to (Y/N), and I can’t let that happen” he concluded, his deep cerulean eyes trying to find answers in his friend’s
“Gods…I, is there a way?”
“Until I can find out who was behind the attacks against the Queen there is nothing I can do, they stopped the second I agreed to Sharon’s terms”
“Does she mean something to you? Do you consult her? seek comfort in her?” he asked again
“I don´t” he said quickly, “I wanted her to leave court”
“But why make your wife upset? She is carrying your firstborn, you have to tell her, you know what she said to me?
“What?” he asked
“Queen's heads had been lost for less than to come across his King´s and his mistress,” Bucky looked shocked, and terrified
“Does she really think I could…?”
“C´mon Bucky, throughout history there's been a hundred Kings that get rid of their Queens on false accusations of adultery, just to have their heads and after marry their mistresses without any further problems”
“I would never do that to her, ever, she is my wife, my queen, she has my child inside of her, I love her”
“She thinks you love Sharon”
“As soon as my child is out of her belly Sharon is gone from here”
“Ok, but until that happens, you need to talk to her, write her a letter even”
Tumblr media
“Lady Romanoff” greeted the guard with a grin, “What a pleasant surprise”
“I needed to see my favorite guard” Nat swayed her hips and drew a small smirk, smiling at him
“All the way down to the stables?” he asked, playing along
“Why don’t we go to a more intimate place?” she asked. He smiled wickedly
“Whenever you want sweetheart” Nat guided him towards the back of the stables, and whe she made sure no one followed them, she hit him in the neck so hard he lost consciousness
“I don’t get paid enough for this” she grumbled, whe she looked at the heavy and big body of the unconscious guard
Nat threw a jar full of water over his head, making the man jumped on his spot, waking up instantly
“Wake up” she demanded, the man coughed, and tried to move, but he was tightly strapped to a heavy wooden chair
“What is this?” he asked, his fear increasing, “Release me at once! don’t you know who I am?”
“I know exactly who you are” she continued, “A traitor to the Crown”
“What are you talking about? release me you crazy…!” Nat punched him in the face so hard he drew a pained moan, fearing that she broke her jaw
“I’ll have you hanged you witch!” he yelled
“By who?” she asked, “Show me who’s behind you and I’ll tell you who is behind me” she answered
“What are you talking about?”
“Who sent the Queen the poisonous treats?” she asked
“I don’t know!” he yelled. Nat hit him again
“Talk!”
“Go to hell you wench!” without even flinching, she took out a sharp dagger she hid under her skirts, and stabbed him in the leg without hesitation
The thick stone walls made his scream ricochet. Without alerting anyone else in a mile radius, the old chamber underground was erect for this kind of work
When he stopped screeching in pain, Nat asked again
“Is strange” she growled, “both times the Queen had an attempt made against her and the Prince’s life, you seemed to be there, guarding her” she started, “How come?”
“I don’t know I didn’t poison her” he cried
“But you know who did, who is behind those attacks?” she pressured again
“I don’t, we’ve been told to just turn a blind eye” he cried, Natasha slapped him in the face again, making his turn painfully, “It’s the truth!”
“By who?” she asked again
“Rumlow” he answered
“He is no longer the Captain of the King’s guard” she accused
“But still, he has men that are still loyal to him” he whispered
“Who else besides you?” he shook his head, “give me the fucking names or I’ll start cutting fingers!”
“I’ll give you the names!” he cried, and Natasha heard calmly the names of about 5 guards, none of them were close to the King.
“Where is Rumlow now?”
“Staying at the whore house, the one near the docks, where all the guards meet”
“Good” she retrieved the dagger of his leg, making him cry out again
“Are you going to kill me?”
“No, but in exchange, I want you to leave, and never came back”
“Ok, ok, I will”
“I heard your family has a farm in the border with Wakanda I’d went there if I were you” he cried in pain because of ihs leg, but he nodded
Natasha smiled triumphantly when she exited the room, were the Counselor Fury awaited for her
“I have all the names of the guards we need to change”
“Good”
“And I know where Rumlow is”
“I’ll take this to the King” said Fury, “So he can finally begin putting an end to these threats”
“He didn’t know who was the one that send that poison, but I bet Rumlow does”
“I bet he does” he murmured, “Let’s find that motherfucker”
Nat’s cover couldn't be blown, so that forced Fury to walked towards the privy council room, where he found his King, accompanied by Duke Rogers
“Lord Fury, what can I help you with?” James mumbled, clearly upset of being interrupted
“The question is, my King, what I can do for you, with the information I have gathered,”
that seemed to relax his face, looking at the chancellor with interest
“What is it?”
“I’ve discovered a discrepancy amongst the guards” Steve looked at him surprised, “The ones that guarded the Queen’s chambers the night of the attempting poisoning, they were following commands of Rumlow”
“Did they poison her?” he asked, seething
“No, but they were told to”turn a blind eye” to the mysterious packages”
“That bastard Rumlow”
“There is someone else he is plotting with, the identity of this alleged traitor is yet to be discovered”
“I’ll give you all the permission and resources you’ll need”
“I also discovered where he is staying, but I need your authorization to apprehend him”
“You have it, I’ll give you the royal seal, catch that bastard and bring him to me”
“I shall go as well” said Steve firmly, “As a temporary Captain of the King’s guard”
“Good, go Steve there is none I trust more than you both”
“I’ll take my me so I’ll leave your guard here protecting you”

“He won’t even see me in the daytime” you said, you grief sneaking through your words, “I’m starting to think that, now that he had succeeded in his purpose, he won’t…” you couldn’t even finish that sentence, “That he doesn't care for me”
“That’s not true” he said softly, “He loves you, I’m sure of it”
“I would like to address this no further” you said “I came to the gardens to distract myself from this”
“Of course”
You continued to stroll through the magnificent gardens, that were your personal favorite part of the palace, the rich fountains and all kinds of plants and flowers
“Why won't you marry?” you asked, wishing to ponder upon other things, after all, that's what you meant to do when you visited the gardens
“I´m afraid it pained me so the loss of my wife and child, I married the court and his Majesty´s service instead”
“I'm so very sorry” you said, looking at him as he stop his stroll to return the look “I didn't know”
“We were young” he said, as you both resumed the walk “barely come of age, and I asked her to marry me, we did so, we were expecting our first child, it was a complicated pregnancy, and she died in childbirth, her and the boy” you gasped, as without thinking your hands cradled your belly “I´m so very sorry for this gruesome tale, your majesty”
“I´m the one who should be sorry, to bring you back so painful memories” you muttered
“It's been a long time since,” he said after a long sigh
“Maybe one day you’ll find love again” you whispered, with a reassuring smile
“I really hope so” he answered back, smiling at you
The Duke kept walking alongside you, until he left right at the doors of you own rooms
For the first time since he had memory, he was mad, mad at his friend, and at his King, Steve opened the door to James’ office, to find his friend deep in paperwork
“Bucky” Steve called “your Queen found out about your reunion with Sharon, she is upset”
“Shit” he cursed, slapping his wooden desk “how?”
“I´m not sure, I think she just saw Sharon entering your chambers” he grunted, not daring to look at his friend “I don´t understand it” Steve reprimanded “why do you do this to her?”
“Steve you don´t understand, I wasn't intimate with her, she… wanted to see me”
“She wanted to talk to you?”
“Yes, we just talked, her time to leave court is almost upon us, and… She had some news for me”
“What news?”
“Sharon is pregnant”
“What?”
“She is already showing” he murmured, “She is further along than the Queen, so I have to keep her away from her, and if I don’t keep her close to me, she will go on and talk to (Y/N), and I can’t let that happen” he concluded, his deep cerulean eyes trying to find answers in his friend’s
“Gods…I, is there a way?”
“Until I can find out who was behind the attacks against the Queen there is nothing I can do, they stopped the second I agreed to Sharon’s terms”
“Does she mean something to you? Do you consult her? seek comfort in her?” he asked again
“I don´t” he said quickly, “I wanted her to leave court”
“But why make your wife upset? She is carrying your firstborn, you have to tell her, you know what she said to me?
“What?” he asked
“Queen's heads had been lost for less than to come across his King´s and his mistress,” Bucky looked shocked, and terrified
“Does she really think I could…?”
“C´mon Bucky, throughout history there's been a hundred Kings that get rid of their Queens on false accusations of adultery, just to have their heads and after marry their mistresses without any further problems”
“I would never do that to her, ever, she is my wife, my queen, she has my child inside of her, I love her”
“She thinks you love Sharon”
“As soon as my child is out of her belly Sharon is gone from here”
“Ok, but until that happens, you need to talk to her, write her a letter even”
Tumblr media
“Lady Romanoff” greeted the guard with a grin, “What a pleasant surprise”
“I needed to see my favorite guard” Nat swayed her hips and drew a small smirk, smiling at him
“All the way down to the stables?” he asked, playing along
“Why don’t we go to a more intimate place?” she asked. He smiled wickedly
“Whenever you want sweetheart” Nat guided him towards the back of the stables, and whe she made sure no one followed them, she hit him in the neck so hard he lost consciousness
“I don’t get paid enough for this” she grumbled, whe she looked at the heavy and big body of the unconscious guard
Nat threw a jar full of water over his head, making the man jumped on his spot, waking up instantly
“Wake up” she demanded, the man coughed, and tried to move, but he was tightly strapped to a heavy wooden chair
“What is this?” he asked, his fear increasing, “Release me at once! don’t you know who I am?”
“I know exactly who you are” she continued, “A traitor to the Crown”
“What are you talking about? release me you crazy…!” Nat punched him in the face so hard he drew a pained moan, fearing that she broke her jaw
“I’ll have you hanged you witch!” he yelled
“By who?” she asked, “Show me who’s behind you and I’ll tell you who is behind me” she answered
“What are you talking about?”
“Who sent the Queen the poisonous treats?” she asked
“I don’t know!” he yelled. Nat hit him again
“Talk!”
“Go to hell you wench!” without even flinching, she took out a sharp dagger she hid under her skirts, and stabbed him in the leg without hesitation
The thick stone walls made his scream ricochet. Without alerting anyone else in a mile radius, the old chamber underground was erect for this kind of work
When he stopped screeching in pain, Nat asked again
“Is strange” she growled, “both times the Queen had an attempt made against her and the Prince’s life, you seemed to be there, guarding her” she started, “How come?”
“I don’t know I didn’t poison her” he cried
“But you know who did, who is behind those attacks?” she pressured again
“I don’t, we’ve been told to just turn a blind eye” he cried, Natasha slapped him in the face again, making his turn painfully, “It’s the truth!”
“By who?” she asked again
“Rumlow” he answered
“He is no longer the Captain of the King’s guard” she accused
“But still, he has men that are still loyal to him” he whispered
“Who else besides you?” he shook his head, “give me the fucking names or I’ll start cutting fingers!”
“I’ll give you the names!” he cried, and Natasha heard calmly the names of about 5 guards, none of them were close to the King.
“Where is Rumlow now?”
“Staying at the whore house, the one near the docks, where all the guards meet”
“Good” she retrieved the dagger of his leg, making him cry out again
“Are you going to kill me?”
“No, but in exchange, I want you to leave, and never came back”
“Ok, ok, I will”
“I heard your family has a farm in the border with Wakanda I’d go there if I were you” he cried in pain because of his leg, but he nodded
Natasha smiled triumphantly when she exited the room, were the Counselor Fury awaited for her
“I have all the names of the guards we need to change”
“Good”
“And I know where Rumlow is”
“I’ll take this to the King” said Fury, “So he can finally begin putting an end to these threats”
“He didn’t know who was the one that send that poison, but I bet Rumlow does”
“I bet he does” he murmured, “Let’s find that motherfucker”
Nat’s cover couldn't be blown, so that forced Fury to walked towards the privy council room, where he found his King, accompanied by Duke Rogers
“Lord Fury, what can I help you with?” James mumbled, clearly upset of being interrupted
“The question is, my King, what I can do for you, with the information I have gathered,”
that seemed to relax his face, looking at the chancellor with interest
“What is it?”
“I’ve discovered a discrepancy amongst the guards” Steve looked at him surprised, “The ones that guarded the Queen’s chambers the night of the attempting poisoning, they were following commands of Rumlow”
“Did they poison her?” he asked, seething
“No, but they were told to ”turn a blind eye” to the mysterious packages”
“That bastard”
“There is someone else he is plotting with, the identity of this alleged traitor is yet to be discovered”
“I’ll give you all the permission and resources you’ll need to find him and apprehend him” he said firmly, “Everything you’ll need is yours”
“I also discovered where he is staying, but I need your authorization to apprehend him”
“You have it, I’ll give you the royal seal, catch that bastard and bring him to me”
“I shall go as well” said Steve firmly, “As a temporary Captain of the King’s guard”
“Good, go Steve there is none I trust more than you both”
“I’ll take my men so I’ll leave your guards here protecting you”
"Find him" demanded the King

Tumblr media
You bit your lips when you had him right in front of you, fully nude. Your eyes trailed down his body until they landed on his manhood. He let you gaze upon him, not pressuring you, nor saying anything, you guessed he was waiting for you to figure it out what to do…
And you wanted to touch him. Your hand landed softly in his hard stomach, rippled with muscles, but you didn't dare to go lower… If you grabbed him or touched him the wrong way… would it harm him? Would it hurt?
He softly caressed your face
“I'm yours to do whatever you want” he said softly, and you smiled, you looked right into his eyes as your hand trailed even lower finally touching his cock. You both gasped at the same time, for you of amazement, it was hot.. and soft… and… overwhelming
And he grunted because you learned that only a touch from you gave him incredible pleasure
“Does it hurt?” you asked him softly, and he, smiling, shook his head. He grabbed your curious hand in his and made you grab him all around his length, your fingers didn´t touch, but you gasped when he grunted closing his eyes
“Only when you do not touch it” he said, gasping, you smiled and moved your fingers, and he flinched under your grasp, “Oh please” he begged, and you tried to move your hands, but you could tell by the friction it wasn't comfortable for him… It needed lubrication… like, when he touched you to make you wet so it´ll go in easier
“Should I…” you couldn't even finish the sentenced
“Only if you want to, sweetheart” he said softly
“I want to please you” you said softly, “Like you did me” you wanted to taste him, remembering how good he made you feel when he used his mouth on you, you wanted to do the same by him
“You sure?” he asked, and you nodded, your mind getting clouded with lust. You released him to grab his shoulders, to push him down until he was laid on the bed.
You positioned yourself between his open legs
“Take as long as you need” he said softly, and you felt your heart grow fonder every time you felt his respect for you. you leaned in at the same time you wrapped your hands around his dick, you felt it twitching under you grasp and that made you shudder, but you didn't relent in your exploration, as you moved both your hands up and down his shaft.
He grabbed the sheets underneath him, as he grunted, as a result, a clear liquid started pouring from his tip, you stopped your movements, thinking you could have done something wrong
“It's ok sweetheart” he encouraged, “that's just lubrication” you nodded, wanting to finally taste him, you leaned in more. Your hand positioned itself in his base, while the other on his thigh, supporting you. And when you had his red, angry tip within your reach, you licked it, “Oh, god” he moaned, and you basked in his reaction, feeling his salty flavour and his soft texture in your mouth, and feeling incredibly powerful, you gave it another lick, and then another, but you wanted more, you wanted him squirming in pleasure, so you wrapped your lips around it, “Oh just like that my sweet” he groaned, you tried to take him deeper into your mouth, but it was big, and at some point it made you gag, choking on it. Embarrassed, you wanted to retreat but he moaned and shook in such a way you wanted to give him more, despite the lewd sounds that were coming out of your slippery mouth when it made contact with his velvety skin.
Your hand seemed to have a mind of its own since it kept grabbing him, and rubbing him between your fingers, and your mouth gaining speed as a feeling of pleasure and anxious of having more and more of him, you wanted to devour him…
“Wait, wait, I'm going to…” but you didn't want to stop, you didn't know what you were after, but you wanted it. He grabbed your face softly and made you leave him, but he did it too late as when you were releasing him, his seed was expelled from his body, falling into your open mouth and cheeks
“Oh!” you gasped, surprised
“Sweetheart, I´m sorry” he said, raising up to meet you, kneeling in the bed. You didn't´know what to say…
“Did you like it?” you asked, hopefully
“Oh yeah, my love, I did” he purred, one of his fingers help you clean up the mess left in your face, “And here's is proof”
The memory made your cheeks burn scandalously, and you looked around hoping no one could peek into your mind and see for themself the lude things you were thinking about, and then, you looked to your left and your King was looking at you with that look, certainly recognizing your own, and seeing your own thoughts
He looked at you without shame, and he took pride in your blushing when you realised he indeed had his strong gaze anchored in you, oh he did recognize that face, and the thoughts that might be plaguing your mind. He couldn't wait to put that crown in your head. To show you off to his people, to his court, and to the world.
You were going to look so beautiful with the Queen's jewels, his mother´s and grandmother´s decorating your beautiful head and your delicate neck. He looked down your body until it anchored in your belly
Hell, he wanted to savour every moment of your naked skin and your delicious body, because it wasn't going to be long until…
You were going to look so beautiful with his baby inside of you
“Your majesties” he looked away from you as he paid attention to his envoy, who walked towards him hastily. Ulysses Klaue bowed in front of both thrones, as he smiled widely
“My lord” greeted Bucky, nodding
“I must say the rumours weren't lying” he looked directly at you, “Her majesty is exquisite” Bucky saw clearly how your face disfigured into shame and surprise
“Y-you are most kind my lord” you muttered, shame crippling your words because of his piercing gaze
“I've brought you what we discussed…” the King raised a hand to stop him. He looked at you and he found you looking at Klaue with curiosity. That man was strange indeed, a pirate.
“Let's discuss this in private” he said as he rose from his chair, “My lady, I´ll see you at supper” you smiled and nodded.
Tumblr media
“I must say” the pirate said when he was alone with the King, “I've traded many things in my life, many jewels as well, but nothing like this” he took the great jeweled box he was holding and placed it over the King´s desk. He opened with a dramatic gesture, and Bucky looked inside
“Are you sure this is it?” he asked, he seemed impressed with the content
“I thought you might say that” Klaue took from his pants a folded piece of cloth, but when he unfolded it, it revealed a portrait. The portrait of the princess´ mother
“That's it indeed” he said, “I'm pleased”
“You better be” he growled with a chuckle, “It cost you three war vessels filled with guns and powder
“It was worth it” the King offered his hand and the pirate struck it
“A pleasure making deals with you, your majesty”
“Same, do you mind?” he asked pointing at the portrait
“It's all yours” he gave it to him, “Now, I have some brothels to attend to”
“Enjoy your stay” he said, and without further interactions, the pirate left the room, but as he left, Steve entered his privy council´s room
“Was that Ulysses Klaue?” he asked
“Indeed” responded Bucky, still gazing the contents of the box
“What did he want?” with a finger Bucky told his friend to come closer
“Look at that” Steve looked inside the jeweled box and whistled
“Oh God” he was marvelled, “Is that…?” Bucky showed him the portrait “They said it was lost…”
“I struck a deal with the emperor himself”
“Do you plan to give it to her?”
“Of course, I will crown her with it”
“A crown fit for a Queen of two nations” he said with a proud burning in his chest. Bucky looked at his friend and smiled, “Anyways, your majesty, the privy council awaits you, for the last preparations for the coronation of the Queen”
“Very well”
Tumblr media
Wanda was always careful when it came to talk to you, expertly hiding from prying eyes and ears, that why she carefully dismissed all your ladies in meaningless tasks to have a moment alone with you, as she fixed your hair
“Did you have your monthly bleeding while you were there?” she whispered in your ear. You felt uneasy when you realised you haden´t, and you looked at your best friend with knowing eyes, shaking your head saying no.
“Do you think I'm with child?” you whispered in her ear, and she smiled widely
“Let's wait a couple of more weeks until we are certain” she said softly, and you nodded, feeling a nervousness taking hold in your chest.
Tumblr media
“Contrary to your marriage, your majesty” started the Vision, “Many representatives of other countries will come to the Queen's coronation, they would wish to pay their respects towards our new monarch, they´ll start arriving tomorrow”
“They haven't had this big congregation since your own coronation, five years ago” said Steve
“I'm not an idiot” he grumbled, “Our relations with other countries are not the best, in fact I would dare to say that thanks to the Queen the only ally we have is her former nation”
“That is true, all the pacts we have made with the other 3 countries had slowly expired” mentioned Steve
“They want to see our strength, and I am scared to say that she will be in the center of the storm” said this time Tony
“A king and a nation is as strong as their Queen” said Steve
“Then they will see how strong we are” said Bucky, and even Steve liked the confidence in his voice
“We shall make the coronation quickly” they all looked at The Vision, “I'm afraid this morning I got sour news”
“Regarding what?” There was an deadly silence in the room, while Vis cleared his voice
“There had been reports of the plague, in the limits within the wild tribes of eastern steppes
“Fuck” growled Bucky, “Control every man, woman and children that enters the city, everyone with a unhumane temperature or symptoms shall be denied the entrance”
“Very well” said Rumlow
“Normally this horrible disease passes, but in case this is a big wave, I want all physicians prepared for it, and gather wood.” he said firmly, “If it comes to it, lighting big fires will prevent the spread of the disease”
“Very Well, I´ll get it all settled” said the Vision
“Now if you excuse me” he said with a smirk
“There is one more thing” pressured The Vision. Bucky looked at him, expecting him to continue. His more trusted advisor seemed nervous, and he looked at all the men in the room. Bucky frowned as it seemed that all of them were in it together
“Go ahead” he encouraged
“We were wondering, if…” he interrupted himself
“We would wish to know about the Queen” interrupted the bishop, “And the continuation of your lineage” he said firmly. Bucky only smiled
“It's been only a month and a week since the wedding, but I assure you gentlemen, we are devoted to the cause” all them seemed pleased
He had trouble finding you, but when he did, he believed he was falling even more faster in love with you
You were seated in one of the high balconies of the church, listening to the choir and musicians practice before mass, you looked so at peace he didn't want to bother you, but you were a sensitive woman so as soon as he uncover himself from the pillar, your gaze found him, like a hawk would found its prey
“Tomorrow is the coronation” he said softly, you looked at him with a shy smile as he sat beside you, “Are you ready?”
“I think so, thanks for making the preparations” you muttered
“You are my queen, it's going to be a great affair” he said, grabbing your hand, you squeezed it
“The ambassador told me my father it's on its way” you said, not knowing if it was a good thing, or a bad, you haden´t seen it since the day he ship your off on a ship to Brook 5 years ago, and you never saw him or your homeland again
“I'm sure he wants to see you” he said hopefully
“Yeah, I bet he does” you said, you had learned to resent your father, and the fact he didn't come to the wedding to walk you down the aisle, but he would come to your coronation didn't set right with you
“Are you nervous?” he asked softly
“Yes, what if I drop the scepter or something?” you asked, nervously. He laughed
“You won´t, but have in mind that the last monarch who did went mad”
“That is not true!” you giggled, he chuckled back at you
“You are right, it isn´t, everything is going to work out just perfectly”
Tumblr media
Everything is going to work out just perfectly
Is the thing you repeated over and over in your mind as you sat there, in a golden throne in the middle of the cathedral, as the archbishop chanted his ryte, and anointed you with holy water
Your King was by your side, and he got to his feet when the bishop presented you with the crown, that crown you had seen before… Bucky took the bishop´s place, using his two hands to grab the crown
“With this, the crown of many Kings and Queens before us” He said strongly, “I solemnly crown you, Queen of Brook.” you closed your eyes when you felt the thick ring of the crown being placed perfectly around your head. Heavy is the head that wear the crown, now you understood it
Bucky left your front and you saw everyone gathered there
“Long live the Queen!” he yelled, the powerful sound of his voice resounded in the stone walls, and suddenly, an eco, chanted for all of those you were there, sounded strong as well
“Long live the Queen!”
“And here are the two scepters of the sovereign, honor and grace, be to our Queen (Y/N) May you prosper and go forwards and may you bear many heirs of the King's blood” chanted the Archbishop. You were so nervous, you feared you were going to drop the scepter, but you held it tight when you received it in your hand, along the golden sphere.
Everyone chanted for you as you stood there seated, the Crown in your head, and your scepters in your hands. Bucky seated right beside you, his hand was placed in your forearm, and you turned to look at him. His own golden crown on top of his head, his clothing with matching patterns and colours as you, his white cape. You close your eyes for a second, taking everything in. You new responsabilites sinking in on you
You were a Queen now, crown with your mother´s crown and anointed
“Is this my mother's crown?” you whispered. He didn't respond but he only smiled and nodded. You look at the front again. Your mother's crown, happy tears rolled down your cheeks. The crown of her and your grandfather before her, a crown of a King
Your mother was a Warrior Queen, she was the only child of his father the King and inherited the throne, she led her armies into battle in the great wars. When you were only 6 years old, she led her army at the side of the emperor´s, and waged war against the other continent. In her way back her ship sinked, wrecked against the rocks in a storm, taking your mother's life
Her crown was supposed to be lost with her
It wasn't long before Bucky helped you to your feet. Your scepters being taken away by the archbishop, as soon, you walked hand in hand with your King on the hallway, walking away from the center and into the big doors to exit
A golden chariot was waiting for you both, along a screaming crowd, all of them chanting for you both
“Long live the Queen! Long live the King!” With one of your hands still intertwined with Bucky´s, you waved and saluted with your other hand.
Soon, all of the attendants of your coronations exited the cathedral, waiting for you two to start the procession. Bucky helped you get in the chariot, and he jumped in right next to you. And off you go.
As soon as you reached the town square in the way back to the castle, the crowds got bigger, all of them showing you their respects taking their hats off, waving and chanting
“Can we walk?” Bucky looked at you with amusement
“You want to walk from here to the castle?” you nodded
“I want to see your people” you looked at his worried gaze
“It's our people now,” he said, smiling softly, “But what if something happens to you, uh?”
“My love” you said “only those faithful for your majesty are here, and besides we are surrounded by guards” you saw his surrender on his face, and then he smiled at you “I want them to love me as much as they love you”
“Very well” he said, he grabbed your hand tightly “Stop the parade” he yelled, in a second, the carriage became to a sudden stop, just as everyone
“What's the matter, your majesty?” asked Steve, who rode on his horse next to the carriage, he was the responsible for the procession and its security
“It's her majesty´s wish to walk, from here to the castle, greeting everyone on her path” he said, Steve looked surprised
“Very well” Bucky descended the carriage without help, and then extended his hand to you, and you careful descended yourself, with his help
The people cheered strongly as you approached them, the King took your hand and together you greeted all the people, touching their hands as they extended towards you desperately to touch the bit of Royalty you extended to them. Cheers were shouted, along blessings, and chants of “long live the Queen” and “Long live the King”
As you approached some of the people, they murmured “God bless you your majesty”
It was a long walk, but the people shouting your name and making your chest filled with love made it easy and even short your walk back to the castle.
You entered the palace hand in hand with your husband, the court waiting for you, as also representatives of the rest of the kingdoms, no royals though, but ambassadors, as you walked towards your places at the center of the great hall, you looked around for your father, but couldn't find him anywhere, you didn't even know why you were so nervous
The party celebrating you took a full swing, and several couples took up the dance floor, twirling and dancing around
“I want to dance” you said, smiling widely, Bucky chuckled
“Aren't you tired?” he asked, amused
“Yes, my feet are killing me” you responded, making him laugh again “but I love dancing, and if you don't want to join me, I will make my first command as Queen” you said, trying to sound serious, but couldn't help to smile, betraying you
“And what might your first command as Queen be?” he asked, raising a brow, genously curious
“That no Queen shall pass a feast or banquet without a dance with her husband The King”
“Love it, I'll send it to be redacted right now” you giggled and he chuckled. He leaned in, waiting for you, and you met him halfway to give him a swift kiss on the lips.
“His majesty, The King” you separated quickly, to see the man Peter had just presented, to find none other, than...
“Father” you said bluntly, as you felt the look of your King upon you, surprised of your coldness
“Your majesty” he said as he bowed before you
“Your majesty, you are most welcome” Bucky tried to smile, but his hand that was intertwined with your felt your tightness, and squeezed gently
The entire room felt silent, as they watched the interaction between two monarchs, well, now three
“Everything was beautifully made!” he celebrated, even before exchanging pleasantries. But the look he gave you when he was looking at your blue and silver dress, was one of discomfort. Bucky had made you a gorgeous gown with the colours of his house, and a matching cape with white fur. And if your father was uncomfortable now, he was even more so when he saw the ruby crown you were sporting, your mother's crown
“Thank you” said Bucky, “Only the best for my Queen”
“Brook´s Queen” he said. And your stomach turned, you knew what he was thinking about
“I will not entertain this conversation here any longer” you muttered, “You and I shall have a private talk”
You all three moved to his majesty's privy council´s chamber, the room almost seemed too small for you three monarchs
“Where did you get your mother´s crown?” he asked. It didn't even surprised you didn't talked to you directly, not even asking you how you were
“I had it fished from the depths of the cove” Bucky said, “I struck a bargain with the emperor himself to let a group of scavengers retrieve it from the wreck
“The crown belongs in Polis” he said angrily
“It belongs in my Queen's head” corrected Bucky
“One must think you intent on rolling Polis too” he explain
“Father, you must know that is not my intent” you explained softly
“You must understand my uneasiness” he said strongly
“No I don't” Bucky looked at you, alarmed, but your anger had been released, “So you come here, to my coronation, but not to my wedding ceremony” you spitted out, rage getting the best of you, “after you left me alone in that castle!” Bucky grabbed you hand softly and squeezed
“(Y/N) you must understand”
“It's your majesty to you” you said, “You stole my throne from me, it was I who was to succeed my mother, but you sent me away!” you were seeing red, this man, your father, had abandoned you, “you stopped writing me letters when I was all alone! You abandoned me in a foreign land! You sold me when I was fourteen years old!”” you accused
“I put that crown in your head!” he said as he pointed at you
“No!” Bucky growled at your side, surprising you both, “I did!” he said, “Not because of you, but because I fell in love with her, with her strength, with her wits, and her heart and its beauty” your father backed away a few paces, fearing the anger of the King, “You are upsetting my Queen, I want you to leave this country, and when you get to your home, I want you to pray to God for my mercy, for me not to invade your country and reinstate my Queen as she should be!” King Edward was struck by fear, but as he saw the fierze gaze of both of you, he growled
“You´ll do well, your majesty, in remembering the 5th condition and amendment of our alliance” he warned, but when he did not got any reaction from any of you, he exited the room
When your father left, you let out a strangled sob, and you threatened to lose your foot, but Bucky held you, hugging you against his chest, and he caressed your back softly
“Don't be upset my love” he murmured with his lips against your temple, “don't let him ruin this magnificent day, my sweet Queen” he kissed you again, “You look so beautiful” he cradled your face so you´d look at him in the face
“Thank you” you whispered, surrounding him with your arms hugging him, your voice threatening to brake by tears, “I don't know what's going on I shouldn't be reacting like this” you cried
“It's ok my sweetheart” he kissed you softly, “Let's go back to the celebrations to forget this whole thing, ok?” you nodded as you tried to smile
You took separate ways on the way back from the chambers.
Bucky walked back to the hall, as he was reaching one of the adjacent hallways, he came across with an old friend
“Mistress Ayo” he greeted
“Your majesty” she vowed to him
“Have you come in place of King T'Challa?”
“Indeed, he had send a present for your Queen” she said, serious as ever, “He has heard of her fighting skills and has send weaponry”
“And someone to yield it perhaps?” he asked bitterly
“Only her” she said, seriousness adorning her face
“I would like to meet with King T'Challa”
“You know he would never agree to that” she said
“If you are not here to give a friendly hand, I assume you just come here to gaze upon the strength of my new Queen”
“They do say a King is only strong as his Queen”
“Then you'll found of strong” he said firmly, “You go and tell T´Challa that, and that even after everything that happened, he will have an ally in Brook, if he so desires”
“Empty words will be delivered” she said nonchalantly
Your corset was too tight all of a sudden, all of that time sitting, and wanted to get it loose but as you were going up the stairs to the royal quarters… you starting hearing gaspes and struggling, and when you turned the corner you saw Wanda, being harassed by a soldier against the wall, she was trying to push him away but he was stronger and bigger than her
“Let me go!” she yelled
“Come on sweet cheeks, give me a kiss and I will make you feel so good!”
“Go away!” but he wouldn't budge.
“Come on you little bitch, give me what I want, don´t you know who I am?”You grabbed a clay pot from the corner and you threw it against the wall, calling the soldier´s and Wanda´s attention
“What's the meaning of this?” you demanded, fury seeping through your skin, no one could touch your ladies, or any woman against their wills
“Your majesty” he called, leaving Wanda alone, you recognize him, he was the general of the royal guard, Rumlow. You friend managed to escape from his grasp and run until he was behind you as you gestured her to do
“I asked you a question” you said
“Your majesty, I was just courting this young lady” because of the hubbub, you felt people reaching your group, one of them was Vision
“Lady Wanda” you called softly, “did you request his Lord's attentions?”
“No your majesty” she said strongly, “I did not seek them nor did I enjoyed them” you took her hand in yours, and Soon, Bucky was also right there beside you
“What happened?” he asked, looking at the scene and the broken base
“He was harassing my lady” you said firmly, “Using a very lewd language and promising to do things to her that where not to her liking” and you looked at Bucky looking for support, as he looked at you and nodded
“You were forcing yourself upon my wife´s lady and as such the punishment is immediate dismissal from my service” he said strongly and clearly
“I´m the general of your King´s guard!” he responded, “And you are dismissing me because of a Lady?”
“Yes Rumlow, and that's exactly why I will not tolerate this kind of behavior” Rumlow looked at all of you like he wanted to kill you all, he didn't say anything, not even bowed as he left
“My Lady, I must offer apologies” said the Vision, taking Wanda´s hand softly, “For this horrid thing this Lord of the court had inflicted upon you”
“You are most kind” her cheeks blushed and you find it amazing, she had never blushed in front of anyone before, “But unnecessary, as he didn't had the opportunity to fulfill his horrid threats, thank to her Majesty”
Bucky dragged you to hold you against his chest, and you hugged him tightly
“Thank you”
“It was nothing” he said, “You were right, he was deserving of that punishment, no one is harrasing ladies in my court” Bucky looked at a blushing Wand who was talking to Vision and smiled widely
“Let's give them a little space, uh?” he asked and you giggled, understanding what he meant. He grabbed you hand and took you away from the pair, “There is one more introduction I have to do today
“What do you mean?” you asked, “Who?”
“Your Majesty” purred yout King, “May I present to you, your chancellor” he signaled to the hallway, you turned your head to look that way, called by the sound of strong footsteps coming towards you, as soon entered your view, a man with a patch in one of his eyes, bald, dressed in black from top to bottom, the only colourful in his attire was the golden chain signalling him as chancellor, “Lord Joseph Fury”
“Your majesty!” he bowed deeply, his eye never losing yours, “I believe we have much to do” he said, smiling softly
Tumblr media
Bucky looked at the boar running in front of him and tensed his bow and arrow. He was hunting for you, you haven't been feeling well and he wanted to spoil you with your favorite meal.
Who would have thought that he was caring for someone else like he cared about you, only thinking about you brought a smile to his face. He looked around to his closest friends, your coronation was three weeks ago, and he had to ask
“What are the people saying?” asked Bucky, with enthusiasm, to his lords and dukes as he rode his horse “about the Queen?”
“They love her” said Anthony “the sound of the bells and cheers of the people still rings on everyone's ears” he said, he had just came back from his palace in the country
“See how the people cheered for her? In the procession?” he asked, excited
“When she walked by your side all the way, touching the hands of everyone reaching for her?” Steve asked with a big smile “I haven't seen the people so cheerful since your own coronation”
“The common people love her, as much as the court does” said Sam, “I've heard nothing but praises for her”
“She is the vivid image of strength and grace” he said firmly, “But now that she will be taking more responsibilities as Queen she´ll need guidance”
“We´ll be there for her” said Steve
Bucky couldn't wait for dinner with you, he had left you alone for a big part of the week and now it was time to make it up to you
You hugged him and kissed him when you finally had him in front of you
“I miss you” you purred
“I miss you too” he said back, “now you aren't leaving my sight again” you giggle
It's been three weeks since the coronation… and for today, you were totally and completely certain
You were pregnant
Every morning you felt dizzy enough to vomit, you felt your breasts tender, and your bleeding had been absent two times already
And when the servant boy brought you what it was supposed to be your favorite meal, your nose clenched trying to prevent you from continuing to keep smelling it. Which made you feel terribly guilty because Bucky went hunting and caught it specially for you, but...
The boar made you nauseous
“My Queen” Bucky said in front of you, leaning towards you “you haven't even touched the boar, your favorite meal” you looked at him, and as he smiled widely, already suspicious of your condition. You smiled in kind, thinking it was time
“I´m afraid it suits your heir poorly, my king, as it makes me feel ill” you said, strongly but as if you were talking about the weather
“My heir?” he asked, a wide smile creeping on his face
“I believe I'm with child”

My love, his duty // Chapter 5
Tumblr media
MASTERLIST
Chapter Summary: You wonder if the King is just a good actor, or you may be the focus of his true affections
Pairing: King!Bucky Barnes x Princess!Reader (very ambiguously described)
Chapter Warnings: Alcohol consuption, talk about sex, talk about loss of virginity, Sexy times! This chapter contains a medieval bedding ceremony, which entails people looking at you while you consume your marriage, and some previous ritualistic elements which have no real merit.
I´m calling Dub-con, proceed with caution, but because she is shy, and people are looking. Sex, Loss of Virginity, a little fingering, fluff as well, dirty talking towards the end
+18 please. (but just for explicit sex scenes)
Word Count (Chapter): 5k
Notes: Sharon was just playing hard to get, and I'm sorry to say it didn't work, we still going to have her around for a couple more chapters, I have 2 very different ideas of where she is going to end up. Uff this is a lengthy one, and it´s unedited, I´m sorry for the errors in advance
Damnnn I'm constantly fighting myself between being historically accurate with their behaviour and such, or just get carried away
Tumblr media
Bedding ceremonies were gruesome, you looked around the court wondering who would be there when they took you and your husband to your chambers, to be together, for you, for the first time. In your stay in the tower they had confirmed your virtue in a medical exam, and now, they had to be present to the union to confirm your deflowering, your cheeks heated from the thought
When the King asked you bluntly in front of everyone if you were ready for the bedding ceremony you almost dropped to the floor, but you couldn't even if you wanted to, in that moment, Bucky grabbed you in his arms, and he leaned in so close you could feel his breath in your face, and then
And then
He leaned in and kissed you.Your belly fluttered when you felt his full lips over yours, with his hands over you tightly preventing you to float around in bliss
Your first kiss, and with your husband
It was over before you knew it, and soon you found those beautiful eyes staring back at you
“Go get ready, I´ll be there in an hour” you nodded, still a bit lost, and he took big steps to part from you
Tumblr media
“Don't be frightened” Lady Sarah said to you, you smiled weirdly, failing miserably in hiding your nervousness, “Lady Natasha was right, it will hurt but just a little bit, after it will be alright”
“Thank you” you looked at lady Sharon and wondered if she should know how the King was, if he was a tender lover at her first time, the thought made you bitter. She did not attempt to help you or touch you personally, but was tending to keep the room tidy, hoping she´d be unnoticed by you.
“Would you all be there?” you asked them all, “In the bedding ceremony?”
“Yes, we must” murmured Lady Jane
“I'm very sorry, you have my permission to turn around if you must,'' they giggled, as they removed your gown. They cleaned you with water infused with rose petals, and they put you on a white nightgown with golden stitches
Wanda carefully took all the ornaments from your hair, to leave it loose
“Everything is going to be ok, you need to relax” she whispered in your ear
“I'm sorry” you murmured
“You have nothing to be sorry for” she giggled
“I know but I'm nervous”
“Don't think about it” said Natasha this time, looking at you with those big beautiful green eyes that could sooth you instantly, “Focus on him, and it will be alright” you nodded, gaining confidence
As you were sent to your chambers to prepare for the night, Bucky had taken to his private chambers with his friends to enjoy a final drink, stronger than all the things they had serve in the feast
“As our Queen said, watching your bedding ceremony seems as appealing to me as shooting myself in the leg” said Steve, as his friends laughed
“Maybe, Steve” said Bucky, as he drank from his cup “but you will be there”
“Please, M´Lord” he said, finally realising he was talking seriously, “Why?”
“You will be there, Steve” the blonde man looked at his friend the King, menacing, “I need my closest friend there for a reliable testament of the consummation of the union”
“Very well then” he said after a long sigh
Tumblr media
You were caught by surprise when the doors opened and a group of people showed up, they quickly moved aside to let the King enter the chambers. He was wearing a soft white night shirt, and loose linen pants, he was barefoot, just like you.
He stood in front of you at the foot of the bed. You could feel the pounding of your heart inside your chest. You found his eyes and he was looking at you, amused
He softly linked your fingers with his. He must have seen the panic in your face, he leaned in into your ear
“Relax, my lady, I would never hurt you” you nodded softly
Two bishops came in, one holding incense, that filled the room with a strong smell, and the was holding a golden bowl, filled with which you just assumed was holy water
“In nomine patris et filii et spiritus sancti, amen” they chanted as he spread holy water and incense all over the bed, to bless it
You felt burning eyes in your form, of about 20 people inside the room, but you didn't look at any of them, concentrating only on the man in front of you. A servant offered you a cup, a matching one for the King. It smelled strongly
“Is spiced wine” he whispered to you with a smile, “to help us consummate the marriage”
“Oh” you drank it with shaky hands, and the spicy taste made you wince and frown, torturing your tongue. Bucky chuckled as he drank the wine on one long gulp, and encouraged you to do the same, so you did, the liquid burning your throat threatening to poison you.
Peter was fast in retrieving the cup from your trembling hands, and then, the bishops threw holy water over you both as well.
And you were ready, but not really. You got separated from Bucky so you both walked to opposite sides of the bed. You climbed on top of the mattress slowly, because if you moved any faster you would collapse into the floor. Your husband is already waiting for you on his side of the bed, smiling victoriously. You laid there at his side, with his face right next to his
You shivered in your place when you saw the thin fabric being lifted, shielding you from the gaze of the court, but they could still see your shapes, even if you couldn't see theirs
“Hey” you looked at James, laid beside you “it's just you and me, we are the only ones that matter” you nodded, you had to believe him, you´ll take anything you could to sooth this crippling nervousness
He took your head softly, as he leaned into you to kiss you, deeply. You surrounded his neck with your hands to drawn him to you, and he took it as an opportunity to climb on top of you
Feeling him on top of you was strangely relaxing, his warmth, his thickness, his protectiveness, you liked it, you felt safe. You whimpered, surprised as you felt his warm hand trailing down your body, searching of the hem of your nightgown
“Relax” he said softly, and you were so scared the people outside the bed could hear you both. Your legs spread automatically when you felt the King's hand trailing up your leg, reaching your thigh. Your breath got trapped in your throat, your body so tense it hurt
“You are tense as a bow” he murmured against your ear, “I need you to relax sweetheart” you warmed up at the cute nickname as you opened more your legs. You whimpered when you felt his finger against your private parts
You couldn't see him properly, not with the flowy parts of the nightgown and his nightshirt, so when you felt him adding another finger and caressing you softly trying to get inside you, you felt yourself getting wetter, he moaned approvingly, taking your lips on his. A guttural sound left your throat and it was quieted on his mouth. You wanted him, you needed him, more of him, didn't know what exactly
His fingers left you, and you felt him tugging at his clothes
“Are you ready?” he asked heavily in your ear. You didn't know what he meant, but you nodded, and you felt him between your legs, his skin against yours, and his...
You draw a sharp breath when you felt his manhood trying to gain entrance to you
You hugged him tightly, bringing him to you, you didn't know if you needed to steady yourself or him. You felt this sharp pain in you insides, as he slowly split you open
“It hurts” you whispered, he looked at you at his eyes filled with regret
“I know my love” he kissed you deeply as he entered you further, you whimpered on his grasp “it will pass, I promise you” he said, as he joined his forehead with yours, and he buried to the hilt within you.
He stood still inside of you, waiting for the burn to pass, the wait had extended a couple of minutes, where all you could hear was the King's deep breathes, and the sound of the clinking of the chain holding the censer in the bishop´s hands, reminding you that they were 20 people looking at you right now. You hid your face on the King's shoulder, and that gave him the assurance he needed to retrieve himself from you, leaving only the tip inside you, and then he drew it back into you, taking your breath.
He starts thrusting into you slowly, but passionately, with his eyes clinging to yours he grunts, animalistically, and you draw a small moan when the burning sensation starts dissipating, leaving a pleasure instead. You grasp onto him tightly, as he increases the speed, starting ramming into you. You felt an incredible pleasure when he seemed to touch a spongy spot inside of you that made your vision blur for a second.
You focused on his face over you, he was drawing a wide smile and he lowered his head to kiss you again as he kept his pace. You hugged him even tighter against you when you felt a tightness in your belly, like a knot, getting tighter and tighter.
But before it could snap, giving you a greater pleasure, he groaned, loudly, when he finished inside of you, you felt him clinching, gripping you tightly against him, like he wouldn't let you go. You felt a warmth inside of you, as he grunted in your ear, hiding his face on your neck.
You draw a pained moan when he exited you, he got off of you, falling to the bed beside you, fixing his clothed, as you did the same, you tried to catch your breath, but it got caught in your throat when the thin layer was dropped, and council and the men present started clapping at the sight of you, and when they saw the red stain in the sheets, your blood.
But the true fright that befell your body, was when you recognized Steve behind the bishops and priests. You looked at Bucky, now, your husband, did he really make him watch you both?
“Stop clapping and get the fuck out!” growled the King, moving his arm hastily. the council almost ran out of the room, leaving you both alone. You couldn't help but giggle, as the sound left your throat and reached your stomach, you stopped, as it hurt deep within your core “Did I hurt you, my wife?” he asked, as he laid on his side beside you to gaze upon you, a mirror of yourself who did the same to look upon him
“You were most soft and pleasant, my King” you whispered, with a shy smile “it's just…”
“What?” he asked softly, asking you to continue. You felt heat on your cheeks
“Your manhood is of great size, and it was hard for me to take it” you said, evading his graze. He chuckled, the joyous sound of his laugh filled the room, and came close to you and kissed you
“It will get better my Queen” you gasped and smiled, he called you his Queen “I promise you”
“You promise?” you asked, smirking, he smiled and nodded “would you show me?”
“Oh, I´ll teach you” you kissed your forehead, “And I'll show you” and he made attempts to rise from the bed, and that scared you
“Are you going to leave me?” you asked with a broken voice, as he sat on the bed
“Do you want me to stay?” he asked, surprised beyond words
“Yes” you said strongly, he smiled softly and returned to his place beside you. He got even closer until your bodies were touching, he passed one of his thick arms over your belly, to drag even closer to him.
You looked at him wishing to never forget this moment, it all happened so quickly, your first kiss, your first time, your husband
“I want to apologise” he whispered into your ear, you looked at him, surprised, “For making you upset that night”
“Oh” you didn't know quite what to say
“And I will say that I will honour my vows, and seek no bed but yours”
“I really want to try to make this work” you looked at him, wanting to pour your heart out, “I don't want to be just… the one you married because you needed to”
“We will make this work” he promised, kissing your forehead softly. And before long, the stress of the day took you into sleep, in your husband's arms
When you woke he next morning, you were softly laid over the King's shoulder, your hand resting in his chest. His hand was softly laid against your back and his head was tilted against yours
“Good morning dear wife” he whispered
“Good morning dear husband” you giggled back
“I wish we could stay here all day, but I'm afraid I have a meeting with the council
“Oh, it's ok” you whispered
“I'll come find you as soon as it is over” he whispered kissing you in your temple
Tumblr media
You look well rested your majesty” mocked Steve
“Indeed I am” he said bluntly, “Let's get to business” he cutted down. Looking at his privy council, thinking they might be waiting for news of his wedding night. If he had laid with any common woman, the meeting would be filled with lewd comments and remarks, but she was different. He caught himself smiling because he was thinking of you.
“There has been worrying reports from up north” said Vision, clearing his throat, James raised his gaze to found all the members of his council, smiling knowingly at him
“What are we going to do about that?” asked Steve, still smiling looking at his friend with a tilted head supported by his hand
“Let me round up the men, I´ll show teach a good lesson” growled Rumlow, the general of the kings guard
“”We can't retaliate yet” said Bucky, gaining traction “gathering with close friends isn't treason, they haven't rise their armies yet
“And you are willing to let them get to it?” asked Steve
“I cannot raise arms against sworn lords to the throne without good evidence they indeed plan to overthrow me, we need to charge their leader with treason first, and we need strong evidence to do so”
“You mean Baron Zemo” said Stark
“Yes, for now, we don't have any clear evidence he plans on overthrowing me”
“He had been raising his banners for weeks now, and planning this perhaps for years” said Steve
“I don't have a doubt about that, but if we call him upon court to apprehend him, it's going to rise up a war” He said, “We need hard proof, and you all are going to help me”
“We shall” said Sam
“So it's time to raise the network of spies my father worked so hard to create, and the man that help him create it”
“You want him to bring that man back to court?” asked Sam, visibly worried
“Yes, I shall appoint him counselor to the Queen” he said firmly
“That's the man you were talking about?” Steve asked
“Yes, he is the perfect man for the job, I want him bring to me before the Queen's coronation”
“Very well, as you wish m´lord” said The Vision
“Know if you excuse me, I shall tend to my bride” they all smiled again as he left the room
Tumblr media
He found you in the gardens near the fountains, it was a hot day and the water gave you fresh air. When you saw him approaching, you raised from the thick carpet you were seated in to receive him
“My garden is much beautiful now that you are on it” he purred, smiling widely, certainly enjoying how nervous you were in his presence
“You are too kind” you were wearing your hair loose, your favorite gown of a colour that compliments your complexion so well, and matching jewels. You felt invigorated, curious and even if a little sore, you felt revilitalized
“I send the cooks to bring us lunch here in the gardens, so we can enjoy the day, would that please you?” you smiled widely and nodded, excited to spend time alone with your husband
“Yes indeed” you sat back on the carpet and cushions on the floor, and to your surprise the King joined you, seated so close to you he rested his head over your lap. You took the liberty to caress his hair softly, and a guttural sound like a purr escaped his throat
“Talk to me about your kingdom” you pleaded, “And your favorite hunting grounds,” as he nodded and with star filled eyes he started telling you about his dear country, and his favorite activities
Tumblr media
You wanted to see him. You looked at your empty bed and you wanted him to be there, with you. He hasn't given you signs indicating he will visit you tonight, even if you spend noon together, after he left you to have an audience with other ambassadors. It was normally the King that visited the Queen, and not the other way around
“You should go to him” After 5 years by her side you were convinced that Wanda could read minds
“He should be the one to come to me” you said, not convinced
“Said who?” she giggled. You would go to him, but, what if...
“What if he is with someone?” you whispered, as your other ladies had left you early, including Sharon
“Lady Sharon you mean?” ask Wanda, that little mischievous glimmer shining dangerously in her eyes, “Want me to take care of her?”
“Are you going to push her through a window?” you asked her. She laughed loudly
“Of course not, but, I can go to your ladies in waiting chambers and see if she is there, and if she is, to distract her” you blush at the thought
“What if he doesn't receive me?” you asked
“Then he is not in his right mind” she whispered in your ear
“That was treason” you whispered back
“That's why I whispered it” she giggle back
“If you don't come back before this sand clock ran out, it means you succeed and I can go” you said pointing to the sandy object in the table
“Very well, good luck” she winked and left your chambers
When the sand clock ran out and she haden´t come back, you knew it was your turn, and taking a deep breath, you left your chambers. The guards posted at your door eyed you but didn't move as you left your room, barefoot, the soles of your feet kissing the cold stone, making you shiver, but you walked decisively towards your husband´s chambers
“Peter” you called and when he saw you, he got all nervous and bowed to you
“Your majesty!” he said, and you realised you still weren't use to that
“Is the King alone?” you asked him
“He is Madam” he said, “He is taking to bed”
“I would like to see him” you said, and his pale cheeks blushed scandalously
“Yes off course” he knock on the door to opened right after, “Her majesty, The Queen” he announced, and you giggled as you passed the door right into the Kings receiving chamber
“(Y/N)?” he called, you turned the corner and you found him in his bed chambers, looking at you, impressed, “what are you doing here?”
“I´m sorry” you muttered, losing all your courage, you looked down at your intertwined fingers, you looked at him and he was smiling, a wide smile, showing you his white teeth. It gave you the courage to continue “I was feeling lonely and cold” you said smiling shyly
“Come here” he kneeled in the bed and signaled you to come to him “I can't let my Queen go lonely and cold, right?” you reached the bed, and slowly joined him, kneeling as well in front of him. The heat his body soothed you, and gave you the courage to caress his chest “my sweet girl” he purred. He leaned in and kissed you. he took the breath from you, and you gladly gave it to him, you reacted in kind, a warm in your belly asking you to touch him
“Let me do this right this time, uh?” he asked, his hand cradling your cheek “If I spoke all the things I wanted to say that night, probably all the bishops would have condemned me” you giggled, as he leaned into you until you were fully laid under him. You kissed him and you felt his hand travelling down your body, under the hem and then up again, against your skin. It went up your leg and thighs, leaving a trail of fire under their touch
Until it reached between your thighs, then all of you was set on fire, you moaned softly, and his fingers started caressing you
“Oh” you moaned, he separated from you to see your face
“Have you ever touched yourself?” he asked, maliciously, you nodded, your face red with embarrassment “really?” you heard damp noises, and you felt your slick intimacy swallowing his fingers, that were dancing inside of you, making you feel a pleasure you had never experimented
You felt a knot in your stomach, getting tighter and tighter, and then it finally snapped, you moaned, grinding against your husband's hand, you grabbed his night camisole tightly, looking to ground yourself and he help you navigate through your climax
“Oh God” you moaned
“No doll, it's me” he growled, his mischievous smile upon his lips “your King” he purred, as he finally left your soaking wet folds. You saw him lick his fingers clean of you arousal, and that made you want more, want him “and that was only two fingers” he said
“My King” you moaned, calling him, pleading him “please” you weren't exactly sure what you were asking for but you wanted it nonetheless
“Let me see you” he tugged at your nightgown, and you contorted your body to help him get rid of it, and you were naked before him, or under him really, his gaze burned your skin, and made you want to hide from him. “FUck you are so beatiful” He moaned, it was a pained one, like you tortured him, and without saying a word, he dived into you chest, you felt his mouth his lips, his tongue, tugging at one of your breasts, and he grabbed the other with his hand
You tugged his nightshirt, hoping he understood what you meant, and he did, he took it off, and you saw him, for the first time. His torso, his thick muscles, looked like they were carved from marble by the gods themselves
“Like what you see?” he asked with a wide smile. You smiled and nodded, rising from the bed, to touch him all over his chest, your fingers trailed all of his muscles, when you finally looked at him, he was smiling widely. He didn't break the contact with your gaze as he got rid of his pants. He released his manhood, and you gasped at the sight. You had felt it inside of you but you haden´t seen it until now, it was indeed, grand, and thick, and with a deep colour red, it's tip was glossy and shiny
“Yes” you murmured
“You don't have to do anything you don't want to” he said softly, caressing your cheek softly
“I want to... please you” you said softly
“And I you” he said, “But we´ll leave that for later, right now, I want to redo our first time together” he smiled and placed himself on top of you. You gladly spread your legs to let him accommodate. You felt his fingers in your entrance, confirming what you both knew you were wet and desiring for him
“Please James” you murmured, looking at his beautiful eyes, “I want you” he kissed you tenderly, and his cock replaced his fingers
“I want you cumming on my cock” his words embarrassed you, but aroused you nonetheless, but you didn't have any time to ponder about such filthy words, as he entered you feel instantly completed, a small pressure but nothing like the night before, you hugged him tightly towards you and that only made him went further into you.
You couldn't prevent the noises that escaped your mouth, and they seemed to motivate the King to drew back and then again thrust into you
“James” you called with a shaky voice, feeling your eyes draw to the back of your head when he found that special place inside of you you learn to like so much
“Oh fuck I love it when you moaned my name” his voices sounded strangled, like he was in pain, but nothing could be further than the truth, he made it clear how much he enjoyed being inside of you when he used one of his hands to settle your hip, so he could pound more fiercely into
“Oh” you felt like you left your body for a second, when you reached your climax without a second warning, tightening more against him, strangling him, “Bucky” you moaned, “yes” he helped you ride your orgasm until you were shaking
“That's it” he purred, kissing you passionately, a kiss that consumed the last of your strength.
You felt him tightening, as he grunted hard against your ear, making all the little hairs on your neck prickle. You winced when you felt him filling you up with his seed
“You feel so good” he moaned against your mouth, his eyes so darkened it made you shiver, “You squeeze me so tightly” he kissed your cheeks as he rained his kissing in the rest of your face as well, you giggled as you caressed his strong back with your hands
“You are very handsome, your majesty” you said giggling in between his kisses
“Am I now?” he said, faking his surprised, “Then we are a perfect match, because you are one of the most beautiful woman I have ever seen”
He abandoned your insides, and he laid under the sheets, inviting you to join him, grabbing you tightly against his chest. He whispered sweet things in your ear as he caressed your bak and lulled you to sleep.
He woke up before you, and he looked around desperately, thinking it had been a dream, but when he found sleeping soundly next to him, he smiled widely. Your eyelashes, your hair displayed on the pillow, your soft skin, your plump lips
God
For a second he wished you both weren't royalty, so he could spend all day in bed with you.
He laid back on the bed, until your face was right next to his, so he could properly watch your slumber
It seemed to him you were becoming more beautiful each passing day
And then you opened your eyes
Try each passing second
“Good morning” he purred when he saw those beautiful enamored eyes that looked only at him that way
“Good morning” you whispered
You were interrupted by the door of his chambers opening
“Whoever it is, retreat” growled James, and the person stood in his tracks
“I'm sorry your Majesty” murmured poor Peter, “You are required in the privy council”
“Tell them to fuck off!” he said as he hugged you against him, “And the next one to bother me will lose his head!”
“Yes your majesty” and he closed the door again. You giggled and cuddle him until your head was against his chest
“Can we go away? just the two of us?” you asked him
“And go to that green island with colorful animals?” he tickled your lower back and you laughed
“Sure why not” you said smiling
“What was he saying to you, really?” you looked at him wondering, and he looked back with seriousness
“That I should remember that if you do not love me, he shall stole me from you” you expected him to be angry, but he just chuckled
“Oh really?”
“Yes that's what he said”
“Then I shall love you” he said with a voice so thick, and he leaned in to devour your mouth, “No one is stealing you from me”
“But you didn't answer me” you murmured
“What?” he asked softly
“Let´s go away together”
“Is that what you want?” he asked tenderly, you nodded
“Yes, so you can teach me all you want, without any interruptions” he chuckled
“Aren't you a hungry little siren” he purred
That very night, the King showed up in your chambers, claiming to be lonely and cold and wanted your company.
Tumblr media
“The guards said you´ve been sleeping in the Queen's chambers all week” Said Sam, with a wide smile
“That's simply not true” he said “There is very little sleeping involved, and one night she slept in my chambers” his friends snickered “So what?” he asked, amused “she is my wife”
“Seems married life has been treated you well”
“We are happy for you” Said Steve, hugging his shoulders “the Gods had smiled upon you, giving you love in an arranged marriage, a beautiful bride and Queen”
“And let's hope they as well give you sons and daughters”
“Yeah, if they do not grant me children, it won't be for the lack of trying,” he chuckled. But the laugh got stuck in his throat, when he saw Lady Sharon waiting for him outside his private chamber. His friends were quickly to disappear from his side, not before Steve gave him a knowing look.
“My love” she said, and Bucky with a growing lump on his throat, cleared his throat
“We must talk” he said firmly
Tumblr media
Post chapter notes: They might be confusing desire with love right now, and the princess is discovering, very quickly, that she is as sensual as the painting she send, and she is taking her power in her marriage, you go girl

My love, his duty //Chapter 3
Tumblr media
MASTERLIST
Chapter Summary: You fall into account of what being married to a King entails. You tried to keep yourself strong as you try to figure out who are your friends amongst your wedding preparations
Pairing: King!Bucky Barnes x Princess!FemaleReader (very ambiguously described)
Chapter Warnings: Explicit sex escene, (nothing detailed), a little cursing, otherwise everything is tamed
+18 please
Word Count (Chapter): 4.7k
Notes: I decided to mix it up a bit, two DC characters will show up in here, minor really minor characters, not to do much with the story but I decided to have a little fun :) And I think the chapters and future ones to be lengthier, but with more content and “scenes”
I am sorry since it appears I dreamt the word "Holdfast" and that it was a synonym for "castle" hahahaha im so sorry I will replace the word with something else
Tumblr media
“You are the guest of honour” he said, he smiled and rose from his throne, he went down the two steps necessary to join you.
And he was finally in front of you. After all this years, he was finally in your hand´s reach, but even then and there, he seemed untouchable
Time seemed to stand still as you both stared into each other's eyes, he seemed to be peering at your soul, and you just were able to gaze upon his face.
He was tall, as tall as Steve, you had to tilt your head to look him in the face, his handsome face, his barely grown beard, his sharp blue eyes. You realised you were gawking, you probably looked like a little kid seeing something for the first time in wonder.
“Thank you so much, your majesty” you said clearly, trying to regain your footing, “For receiving me in your Kingdom, for establishing relationships with my country”
“I believe it will be my pleasure,” he said with a wicked smile that made your knees weak. You felt the gaze of everyone in the room on you, and that made you feel more weak if possible, the tension was palpable
Tumblr media
You peeked at your future husband, seated at your side, he was most kind to offer you a seat beside him, in a smaller throne, as tables were disposed in front of you
“You are even more beautiful than your portraits” he said looking straight at you
“You are most kind, your majesty” you muttered
“The painting you had send last was exquisite” he said, a smiled you dimed as wicked on his face
“I must say I apologize for my boldness” you said with heated cheeks
“You have nothing to apologise for” he said, he directed that same wicked smile. Did he expect things from you because of that painting? did he think you were this wild passionate creature? when in reality it was almost the opposite. You knew he will appreciate your chastity, without it he won't even marry you, but it scared you he now may have a vision of you that escaped the truth
“You must remember his Grace” your King presented, drawing back to reality from your daze, in front of your table stood a young man, still bowing to you “Oliver Queen” he was the ambassador of your country in his Majesty's court, you knew this much
“Your Highness is my pleasure to make your acquaintance” he bowed to you both. He wasn't the same man that used to visit you in the early months of your stay in the castle, he was young and handsome, “I'm afraid we haven't met”
“It's an honour” you muttered, “To meet a fellow countrymen in such royal and important endeavour, such as being an ambassador of our country”
“Your highness you are too kind” he said, “I look forward to working with you” as he bowed again and left to mingle with the crowd.
“You are skilled in pleasantries” the King admired
“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?” you asked innocently, he chuckled and your tummy tingled at the sound
“Is an admirable trait for a Queen” your eyes met and you feel like lightening had struck you
Tumblr media
The day after the banquet you were called upon by the King, as you met with him, his council, and your Kingdom´s ambassador as a representative of your father.
“Your Majesty” you muttered as you bowed to him
“You highness” the people in the room but him bowed to you, as you regain your foot and started walking towards the big desk separating you from your King
“We are here to discuss our wedding” he said with a small smile, “Does that please you?”
“It does your majesty” you said shyly, all the eyes upon you
“I came as a representative of the princess´ father” the ambassador muttered, “And to give for the entire event, a sum of 100.000 crowns” the King seemed surprised, as you did, it was a hefty sum
“Very well then, the event shall be grander” said the King
“The royal couple shall be married in the cathedral in a fortnight” The Vision started. Above the table was displayed a map of the city, so he pointed to the very center of it, where the cathedral stood. You were concentrating on what he was saying, and you felt the gaze of the King on you. “The union to be directed by the Archbishop, after the ceremony, you shall commence a royal parade, back to the castle and already married, to start the celebrations in the Castle´s main Throne room” there was a silence, as you pondered looking at the map, not knowing what to say
“Do you have any thoughts, your highness?” asked the King. He put you in the center of everyone's attention again. And you were speechless
“I would love to gave my opinion in smaller matters” you muttered, finally looking at him, “such as details”
“Do you have something in mind?” asked The Vision with a soft smile
“Well, for example, I would like an open carriage for our procession back to the castle, so the people could see us more clearly” they all looked surprised at this
“Would you like to gaze upon the people?” asked James
“I would, I think it is important, it is a royal wedding, they shall be part of it to some extent” you muttered. The King seemed please as he smiled and nodded
“Then we also shall prepare baskets to be distributed among the people” said the King, “A ceremonial basquet, containing bread, wine and cakes, for the people to celebrate our marriage along with us” you smiled widely at the King's idea, so did The Vision
“Both his majesty and her highness are so thoughtful” he admired “this shall be an affair that will be remembered for years to come” You smiled at the King and he smiled back “Now there are smaller matters that would like both your opinions into” he said, “such as the banquet´s main dishes, and the flowers that shall decorate the Queen´s hands, and the cathedral, and the great hall”
“Queen?” you asked without thinking, and the room seemed to stay still
“Oh, I am sorry” the chancellor stuttered, “I thought… well” you felt guilty as you put him in the spot
“As soon as you become my wife you are to become Queen” the King seemed amused, “even before the coronation” you felt your cheeks get heated
“I am so very sorry” you lowered your gaze. You knew what was going to happen, but it being said that casually had made you realise it
“You have nothing to be sorry for” said the King
“I shall use his majesty´s signature flower” you said firmly, “White O'Hara roses” this seemed to please everyone in the room, “And they shall be complemented by any white flower you can find to fill such spaces with their beauty”
“A very fine choice indeed” celebrated the chancellor
The afternoon passed like that, discussing small matters regarding your wedding
When the reunion was coming to its end, you were machinating a way to stay with the King, maybe the two of you together and alone, you haden´t had the occasion to talk to him privately, and you wanted to.
But as everyone was departing the room, your father´s envoy called for your attention, frustrating your plans
“I need to speak to you, your Highness”
“Very well”
“Your Highness” all the little hairs in your neck frizzled at the voice of the King interrupting you two
“Yes, your majesty?” you said hopefully
“Today we celebrate his Grace´s wedding” Tony´s Wedding, “I´ll have you by my side on the place of honour” you couldn't help but blush
“I´ll be my honour” you said smiling widely, and he smiled you in kind, you bowed to him to exit the room
You were followed by the ambassador towards your private chambers, and when you entered, still in the company of your ladies and guards, you directed yourself to the small table disposed for this kinds of affairs
“What is this all about?” you asked
“His majesty the King, your father, has send me a letter filled with his words for me to communicate to you”
“Please” you offered him a seat, as you both took it near the ever fired hearth
“His majesty would like to remind you of your obligations, he wants to make sure you remember your homeland when you assume your duties as Queen” of course this was it all about, “He also would like to remember you that even if you don't have your mother to discuss this affairs, he wants to make sure you make your new King happy, and fulfill your duties as a wife as well”
“You offend me” you growled
“That was not my intention your highness” he said, swallowing hard, “I'm just communicating what he has said”
“If he had something he wished to communicate to me, he could have written to me himself” all this time, the absence of your father has been brewing in the back of your mind, and it was transformed in anger towards him, “I imagine that he doesn't intend to attend the wedding?” he nervously fixed his collar
“His majesty is occupied at court, and he is sorry he will not be able to…”
“Of course he is” You cut him off, and you were taking that anger and focusing it in this poor guy, “Very well, there are duties in wedding ceremonies that are responsibility of the father of the bride ”
“He would like me, his representative, to deliver you to your husband in the altar” he said
“If my father isn't here I shall walk alone” you said, you gave a look at Wanda who was standing next to your guest, she understood immediately and touched the ambassador's shoulder softly
“Your audience with the princess has come to an end” she muttered, he looked at her and then at you. He nodded and took his foot to leave your chambers after he bowed to you.
That wasn't smart, he was the only link you had with your homeland, but in this time it didn't matter, you were alone, in a strange court, with no member of your family to fraternize with.
You were surrounded by many people as you ever been in your life and yet, you had never felt so lonely and abandoned
Tumblr media
All the ladies giggled and moved around you as you all were preparing to attend his Grace´s wedding. You insisted your ladies could stay here during the preparations, and it had been a great idea, since you were all acting like you were old friends. And you adored the fact they were slowly becoming more comfortable around you, and even befriended you
Wanda has chosen for you a pink and golden gown to wear and decorated your hair with a golden thread.
All your ladies were wearing their finest dresses and you yourself had lent them jewelry to use, so they would look their best for the occasion
Duke Anthony Stark was the wealthiest man in the Kingdom, and this event would be remembered by ages to come.
Tumblr media
You loved dancing, it brought you joy
But in today's celebrations you could only look at the dance floor.
You were in a new court where you didn't know anybody, and you were betrothed to the King, so no dance partners for you in the near future. James was seated on his high chair beside you, and didn´t seem to make any attempts to join the dance floor, so you sat there by his side.
You looked at the happy couple, Tony´s wife, Pepper, seemed lovely, she hugged you tightly when you congratulated her after the ceremony, and you promised that you´ll send for her to have maybe a tea party or something of the sort, to get to meet her better.
The ceremony had been a sutil affair, they did not marry in the cathedral, but in the castle´s church, it was smaller but grander in their decorations. Lady Sarah had explained to you that they had to make a smaller event, with your own royal wedding being so close. And you felt almost guilty for it. But Tony seemed enormously happy, he compensated greatly with the richest banquet you'd ever seen and the wine that flowed freely.
But now in the middle of the party you sat there, at the side of the king, growing restless and bored, as the King would kill any attempt at a conversation you would start with him. Until, your apparent knight in shining armour, Steve, appeared in front of you
“Would his Majesty mind if I have a dance with her Highness?” you heart jumped inside your heart, you loved dancing and were aching to join the dancefloor
“Of course I wouldn't mind” he said, almost bored, he looked at you and you smiled widely, nodding. You jumped off your seat and took the hand the Duke was offering you.
He spun you around without a second thought and before you knew it, you were both dancing at the unison of the song, a style they had taught you in your many lessons and that you knew from the heart. you giggled as sometimes the duke would go “off script” and spun you around at his liking, laughing himself
“Someone told me you liked dancing” he whispered in your ears
“I do, but I must say I don't have many opportunities to do so” you admitted, “The King doesn´t dance?”
“He doesn't” he said
“A pity” you muttered
“Maybe because he hasn't found the right partner” he said and winked at you. You looked at the King and you found him staring at you, his blue eyes seemed to not miss a single thing you were doing nor a word your were speaking
“Do you think he´ll dance if I ask him to?”
“He is a gentleman and would never left a lady standing” he said with an encouraging smile
When the song finished, you bowed to Steve and he did the same, and you took a long breath and walked towards him. You took the liberty of going until you could touch the wooden chair he was sitting in, because you didn't want to invite him out loud, in the case he would deny you
“My lady you were not amusing yourself?” it hurt the way he said it, like he was annoyed
“Your Majesty” you called, and his eyes left the dancefloor to you, “I was so, but I was wondering if you would like to dance, w-with me” you curse yourself for your stutter and for being so nervous, but as you saw him chugg the last of the wine he had in his goblet, his gaze returned to you
“Very well” when he stood from his seat, the entire court went quiet. Everyone seemed to be expectating what the King was going to do. Even the music had stopped
He took your hand in his, and keeping them high, you both advanced to the center of the dancefloor as everyone made themself out of your way
“Play a volta” he demanded, and you froze, as that dance was deemed to be lude and passionate, but you indeed knew how to dance it. You looked fleetingly over the room and everyone was looking at you, but you didn't have anytime to think about it as the music started and it was your turn to dance and twirl towards the King.
You prayed you didn't trip, or that you wouldn't look as passionate as the rhythm of the song would suggest, as you lifted your skirts and gave your back to the King as you kept dancing. He grabbed your waist with one of his hands and you shook with emotions as he started dancing alongside you. You felt relieved as he took the lead, but the closeness to him would make you feel so warm and nervous you felt butterflies inside your belly and your heart pounding soundly in your chest. He didn't take his gaze off of you, as his other hand was also placed in your waist as he lifted you fleetingly from the floor.
You felt the room gasp when your feet touched the ground again, but didn´t have the mind to pay any attention off what was happening around you, as you took his majesty´s arms with your hands so you could lean backwards using the heel of your shoes as the song required, he grabbed you once again and your chest collided with his when he helped you up. You twirled together a couple of more times, as he pushed you away to be stopped by your intertwined hands, and then he dragged you against him again. When the song was finally finished his face was so close to yours you could feel his thick breath on your cheeks, and his nose almost touched yours, and your eyes connected in a way that calmed you.
The world seemed to stay still, and it only returned to normalcy when the entire room began to clap his hands, and you finally let off the breath you didn't know you were holding.
The king leaned in and kissed your cheek, and he parted from you, taking all your air with him. As the people kept clapping, you stood there in the middle of the dancefloor, not entirely sure that the whole thing had happened in reality, and not in your darkest and most passionate dreams.
Wanda woke you from your haze as she congratulated and hugged you.
Tumblr media
Even if you just got here to the capital, you were a fortnight away from your wedding, so as the costum entails, you were to be sent away to a castle which was referred to as “The Queen´s Palace” where all the Queens prepare for their weddings and their coronation. You were going to be sent there tomorrow.
The next time you saw the King was going to be at your own wedding, so a need rose on your chest to see him after the dance you shared. You felt that a connection had been made, so as soon as the party was wavering, you started looking for him, for you to talk about your future life together. You didn't quite know what you wanted from him, nor what you were looking for, but it seemed only right to see him before you were married forever
But you couldn't find the King, you haden´t seen him since you danced with him. You wandered through the corridors, until you found yourself wanting to go to that thin tower you found on your little expeditions with Wanda from which you could see the entire town and the surroundings of the castle
But as you turned a corner, you heard moans and panting, as you couldn´t stop yourself from going forward and towards those sounds
It was the King, ramming towards a lady, one of your ladies in waiting, lady Sharon, her legs bared and clasped around his hips, she moaned loudly, as he growled against the skin of her neck, were your ruby necklace shined with the moonlight that escaped the nearest window. You were a virgin, but you weren´t an idiot, you knew perfectly fine what they were doing, they were fucking franktickly
“I'm going to miss this,” she said. You undo your last three pases and hid behind the wall, so they won't pick upon your presence
“Only for a couple of weeks” he responded back “until I can get back to your arms”
“Why did you have to invite her to court?” she responded. You froze where you stood “why do you have to marry her?” she said with such hatred in her voice it made you wince
“You know why, I need an heir, this kingdom need a Queen, pressing matters”
“But we will continue to be together won't we?”
“Of course my love”
You couldn't hear anymore, you backed and walked away
You remembered vividly the harsh teachings of your governess, the one his Majesty´s had sent to you upon your arrival in the Kingdom. The love between a King and a Queen, true love, had always been rare, so scarce. You were to be his Queen to make alliances between your kingdoms and bear heirs, and that was it, if you grew your alliance into romance, that was a great feat indeed.
And Kings, historically, had always had whores at his disposals, mistresses, and it was fool of a Queen to come between them, you had more pressing matters to attend, she would say, you had to be smarter, more dignified, he was your husband, and had to conform with that, and the crown he has bestowed upon your head, you were a Queen
So why did your hand clung to your chest when you found incredible and crippling pain? You wanted to grab your heart from your chest and ripped it off, so it would stop hurting. Is that what your future held? Your husband only visiting your chambers to make sure you bear him heirs and then back to their whores? Who was the true comfort and solace of the man that was supposed to be your husband?
Tears clouded your vision as you tried to put as much distance between the pair and yourself, as you walked the corridors hastily and blindly
Your senses were so clouded with pain and sadness, you didn´t see the figure until you stomped upon it
“Your highness” marvelled Steve, but when he saw what you only thought was a horrid face filled with tears, his face fell
“Duke Rogers” you said meekly, wiping your tears with the back of your hand
“Are you well? What has happened?” he took the liberty of grabbing you by your shoulders softly, so you wouldn't escape him
“Nothing My lord, I stomped upon a statue and dust came upon my eyes” really? you could do better than that”
“Your Highness please” he begged you, you recuperated your demeanor quickly
“It seems you´d always glimpse the worst parts of myself and I should be most embarrassed to ask you for forgiveness, as I show myself upon you in the most ghastly ways” you said automatically, royal jiberish you called it
“Your Highness if something or someone has inflicted sorrow against you I must know” he insisted
“It's nothing” you said, releasing yourself from his grasp “please don't insist any further” you tried to out-walk him but couldn´t as he was taller and his legs longer than yours, and you didn't have to, since behind you through the corridor, appeared the King, and Lady Sharon. You didn't turn to greet them as Steve took turns to look upon you, and the pair, understanding what was going on
“Your Highness” said Bucky, calling upon you to meet him
“Your Majesty” you responded bowing, but not daring to let him see you cry
“I came upon her highness” said Steve “she was looking for you” he said Looking at the King, as you looked at him in anger
“I just wanted to ask if It was proper to only take four ladies to the Tower, instead of the usual 5” you muttered
“Why would you do such a thing?” asked James
“I want to be comfortable in the ride in the carriage” you responded “with my ladies”
“I thought you were going to ride there” said Steve, as he sounded surprised and disappointed
“Well, I´ll become Queen, I suppose I must part from certain things” you said, turning to look at him
“Then, do what you must” said James
“Good” you rose your head, to sport your dried tears “lady Sharon now that you are here, I relieve you from the stay in the Tower” her face fell, as you started walking again, without presenting your respects, and away from the King, and the pair
You haven't even close the door behind you, as the King himself entered, making everyone bow deeply
“What was that all about?” he asked, he looked annoyed
“Of that issue I discussed” you said meekly
“I don't believe that for a second” he responded, relaxing his tightened face
“The next time we see each other will be to present our vows and bond for life, I wanted to see my future husband, to talk, but I couldn't find you anywhere” you stopped as you let him complete the rest on his mind
“I'm here now” he said, taking your hands between his “let's talk”
“No matter” you retrieve your hands from his hardened ones, as his face looked at you as his eyes looked tortured “I took a good look of what my married life would be like” you whispered
“What do you mean?” he asked, he looked genuinely worried
“That I completely understand my obligations and responsibilities as Queen, and as your wife” like, standing your mistress, you wanted to say. You vowed in front of him “If you excuse me Your Majesty, I´m weary and tired, I have a long trip in front of me tomorrow”
“Of course” he said, his voice strangled, he vowed to you and left the room
As the guards closed the door, you couldn't help the tears that fell your eyes
“Lady Wanda, would you tent to me?” you asked, your voice sounded strangled “my ladies you are welcome to go back to your chambers” the three ladies that remained bowed, and left the chambers
“What happened?” Wanda asked, as she caressed your hair
“Help me get out of this clothes” you said, as you both entered your bed chambers. She rapidly undid your corset, as you felt you could breath, you a sob came instead
“What happened?” she asked again
“I wanted to talk to the King, but I found him deep in his mistress, promising her he would ever return to her” you said “I feel so humiliated”
That night you fell asleep in Wanda's arms, as she caressed your hair and shush you to sleep
Tumblr media
The next morning, you were all set up to start the trip to the Queen 's Palace. Wanda had woken up with your breakfast and a cheery smile, as all your ladies, (but the Lady Sharon) also joined in the happiness and shower you with praises as they helped you get dressed and grab the last of your belongings to start the trip
Before noon you were outside, preparing your horse. It was the thing you wanted to do yourself, and didn't allow help. You had built a special relationship with your horse, Plum (as you called him) and nobody but you could saddle him and ride him.
But as you were entertained adjusting the straps to your saddle, you hears a horse approaching
“Good Morrow ladies”
“Your Grace, you are to escort us?” Lady Wanda asked Lord Steve
“Indeed” you looked at him, while adjusting the mount of your steed
“My Lord you don't have to” you said, smiling upon him
“Our King wanted to make sure you arrived there safely, there is none that he trusted more than me”
“I'm afraid we'll bore you” you responded
“Nothing you´ll ever do will bore me” he said with a wide smile “You are riding after all” he said as he stop his horse right next to you
“Indeed, I´d hope I´ll give me clarity, for the fortnight to come” you muttered, as you mounted your horse, and now could look him in the eyes, as you were in the same height
As you started the caravan, you and Steve leading it after only four guards in front of you
“So, the lady´s thing, dispatching one of them to make space in the carriage, was a ruse?” he asked, amused
“Is it bad of me?” you asked sincerely ��to not want to gaze upon the face of my future's husband's mistress? as I prepare for my own wedding?” you met his gaze as he was looking at you with pity
“I don't think so, Is not” he muttered “And I will speak to his majesty”
“You will not do such a thing” you warned “for I´m afraid she is his love, and I´m only but his duty”
“He will love you” he said “as the Lords and Ladies of the court already do”
“I really hope so, because I wish not to be lonely”

My love, his duty // Chapter 4
Tumblr media
MASTERLIST
Chapter Summary: The day of the wedding is upon you, and you wonder, wonder about a lot of things
Pairing: King!Bucky Barnes x Princess!Reader (very ambiguously described)
Chapter Warnings: Alcohol consuption, alcohol induced talk, talk about sex, talk about loss of virginity, marriage/religious ceremony
+18 please. (but just for explicit sex scenes)
Word Count (Chapter): 4,2k
Notes: This is a lengthy one, I just wanted to give it to you full, I couldn't find a good point in which I could cut it in half or something, I had to cut the consummation scene since it was lacking some things
The one that finds the Princess diary´s quote receives a virtual hug!
The princess realizes she has two powerful allies
Tumblr media
“Did the princess reach the palace safely?” It was already dark when the King had finished the review of the plans for the ceremonies to come, the two most important ceremonies.
His marriage, and the coronation of his Queen
“She did” Steve sat in the other chair in front of his King and friend, in front of the fireplace
“How was she?”
“Upset” Bucky took his gaze away from the flames to look at his friend
“Why?”
“She wanted to talk to you, she was looking for you that night”
“I know that” he frowned
“She saw you” Steve said, “with Sharon”
“I don't believe that”
“Then why did she expel Sharon from the trip? Why did she looked so upset?”” Bucky draw a sharp breath, rubbing his temple with his index and middle fingers
“Well, shit”
“Do you plan on keeping Sharon as your mistress even if you are married to her?”
“I don´t know” he said sincerely “It's been ten years since I´ve been with Sharon, what am I supposed to do? Tell her to fuck off?”
“Why? Do you love her?”
“I don´t”
“Does she mean something to you? Do you consult her? seek comfort in her?”
“I don´t” he repeated quickly
“Then why?” demanded “It was cruel of you to appoint her as one of her ladies”
“Well, she is from a noble house, and she can't just go around calling herself the mistress of the King” he stopped, and he took a long breath, “She… is like a relief” he stopped himself to ponder more upon the matter, “What if love doesn´t come to me and (Y/N) what if I only lay with her to make heirs?”
“Will you at least give it a try?”
“Why do you care so much?”
“Because I think she is good, and kind, and deserving of your respect” he said bluntly
“And what do I do with Sharon?”
“Do something God dammit!” Steve growled, “You are the King!”
“What do you want me to do Steve?” he growled back
“Marry away Sharon” he said, “And give yourself to the princess, if you do, she will give you the entire world”
Tumblr media
Your stay in the Queen's tower was going by rather quickly, you had have medical exams to prove your maidenhood, and you had received the visit from the King's personal confessor, and also, her personal chamberlain, for some teachings about household, and what it would consist of now that you'll become Queen. And before you knew it, you were putting the golden and white gown you'll use tomorrow in your wedding day for the last fitting
“You look beautiful” said Wanda, and the ladies agreed
“The King will swoon when he sees you” said Lady Jane
As you looked yourself in the mirror, you were interrupted by a knock on the door, your guard entered and behind him, entered the young page
“Your highness” called Peter, “His majesty send you this” he presented you with a huge jeweled box, a splendid thing in itself, but when he opened it, all air inside seemed to abandon you
Inside there was a diamond tiara, it´s shape resemblance waves of the sea, you found also a matching necklace and pendants, resting in blue velvet at the bottom of the box
“It would please him so you used this tomorrow” he said, excited, “As this are the jewels that her mother used in her wedding” your eyes filled with tears of happiness
“I shall wear them with my full heart, and all my honour” you said, your voice strangled by emotions, “Would you tell him that?”
“Of course My Queen!” As soon as he said it, he blushed scandalously, “Oh, I mean… I´m sorry, y-your highness!” he babled, you just giggled
“Thank you Peter, you are the kindest” he left shortly after, and you were left to enjoy the rest of the day
But at night you gathered with your ladies by a big fireplace. Before he left, Wanda had compelled Peter into stealing a small barrel of wine, so the five of you were under the influence of the dark liquor, and enjoying stories and giggling
“Does it hurt?” you whispered to Lady Sarah, since she was the only one who had been married, and indeed had two children, “On your wedding night?” they all paid attention to her, who giggled loudly
“Well, it might… it depends”
“On what?” asked lady Jane, you were all leaning towards Sarah´s chair, and she felt intimidated
“I'm not sure we should be talking about this…”
“Please Lady Sarah, we are only ladies here, who wish to know” you pleaded, pounting
“I´ll tell you” said Natasha, you all took your attention to her, “Since Lady Sarah may swoon”
“You have done it yourself?” asked Jane, she smiled and nodded
“Indeed, now, you all take a sip of wine!” she asked, and you all did, giggling without stopping. “It depends, if he would touch you first, to entice you, or if he would be soft, and slow for the first time, and also….” she took another sip of wine to gain courage, “On how big he is” you felt your cheeks heated as you drowned your giggle in your cup
“You mean… his manhood?” asked Lady Jane, as she was blushed by wine and shame
“Yes of course” she said, “I cannot lie, the first time will hurt” she said, “But it would last very little, and after…” she giggled again and took a sip of wine
“What happens after?” Wanda asked with her branded mischievous smile
“After he will carry you to heaven” she said looking away, “for it's the greatest pleasure on earth”
“Oh my”
Tumblr media
“I wish my mother could see me” you said as the palm of your hands roamed and pleaded the skirt of your dress, you looked at yourself, ready for your wedding, the chariot that would take you to the cathedral could be here any moment, The Late Queen tiara rested over your head.
“I'm sure she is most pleased, and proud, of calling you her daughter” said a voice behind you, you turned quickly to see you brother, smiling at you from the door
“Clark!” you yelled, running to his embrace “my brother, I missed you!”
“I miss you as well my sister” he was two years younger, holding only 18 years, but he stood tall and thick, he took after your father, as you did after your mother. You didn't have the same mother. “You look so beautiful, like a Queen”
“Thank you” you whispered, “Father couldn't make it?” he shook his head
“I´m sorry”
“It's ok, It won´t matter anyways”
“I'll deliver you to your husband today” he said softly
“Thank you brother” you looked down, your stomach twisting at the thought of your wedding, remembering suddenly the scene you witnessed before your departure from the Royal Castle
“You look like I´ll take to the scaffold instead of your wedding ceremony” your body shook entirely
“Well…” you started
“I know you don't know this man, but…”
“I know I´ve been preparing myself all my life for this, but” a strangled sobb came out of your throat, and he struck you in his arms in a tight hug, “I cannot quiet the complaints of my heart” you mumbled
“Have you met him?” he finally released you, and you nodded
“I did, him and his mistress”
“Sweet sister” he mumbled, you wanted to cry but you were fighting not to, “It is..”
“If you are going to say it is normal for kings to have mistresses I'm going to punch you in the neck” he chuckled and you smiled shyly
“Yes you got me”
“He appointed her as one of my ladies in waiting” you said as you looked at him, “Isn't that a little… doesn´t that make him…” you didn't know how to phrase it, “Kind of an asshole?” he laughed loudly
“And they said he was a smart man” he said
“I don't want to be humiliated like that” you said, “I want him to give me at least a chance, but I feel as, I´m walking into a game that I'm already losing”
“I don´t believe for a second he would parade her in front of the court and you” he said
“He did before my arrival” you said, “Everybody at court knows who she is”
“Do you want me to speak to him?” he asked, “Not to say anything concrete, but to warn him about the importance of your dignity, and grace”
“You want to rough up the King of Brook?” you said as he thought he was joking, but when you saw his serious face, you smiled, “You have my permission”
“Very well” he kissed your forehead tenderly and you smiled softly, you had missed him dearly
“I swear brother if you marry, and commit the idiotic decision to take a mistresss, I would go back home, sneak in the night to your chabers and cut off your manhood
“There she is, my sweet sister”
Tumblr media
Clark and you took a most incredible chariot that took you from the Queen's tower, to the cathedral, the ride was shorter than you remembered, maybe because of the nervousness that crippled your body. Your ladies had gone before you, leaving you alone with your brother, which you thanked, because you knew your brother was your true friend, loyal only to you.
You reached the cathedral and there was a huge crowd waiting for you, al chating your name
“Long live the princess!” some yelled. You tried to wave to them all, but your hand was so shaky. Your brother grabbed you and took you inside, where all the shouting was reduced by the thick wooden doors.
“They are all inside” the ambassador Oliver Queen bowed to you, as he was waiting for the both of you
“Are we late?” asked Clark
“My lord, I´ve been told a Queen is never late, is everyone else that seems to arrive early” he said chuckling
“Your words soothe me” you said smiling weakly, you felt like you were going to faint at any given moment
“Very Well” Oliver said, looking at you and at your brother, “Are we ready to do this?”
“No” you whispered, as Clark took your hand on his and gave it a squeeze
“Let´s get you married to the King” he whispered
“What if he doesn't love me?” you asked both men, they looked at each other nervously
“He will” consoled your brother
“You are both powerful men, that marry for alliances” you said, looking at both, “Tell me the truth”
“Your highness If I may” said the ambassador, you looked at him wide eyed, “He would be short sighted, and cold hearted, if he didn't find it in his heart to love such a wonderful and beautiful bride such as yourself” you feel your cheeks heated as you let him kiss your hand softly, “And he better love you, or I will steal you from him” you giggled as he winked at you
“I might take you up on that” you whispered
“Shush the both of you” said Clark with closed mouth, “Never said that again or you will lose your head”
“She is still our Princess, it was now or never” he said with a wide smile.
“Yes but from this day forward, she is no longer our princess, but she will belong to him, and to the Kingdom of Brook” it finally sinked into you. It's been years since you thought about that, where you come from, and what it meant
“You highness” you jumped when you heard Steve´s voice behind you. The three of you turned to face him, as he was coming out of the Royal chapel by one of the lateral doors
“Your grace!” you saluted as you bowed your head
“I don't believe that in this entire kingdom has been a bride more beautiful than you” You felt the heavy gaze of the three men on you, and you trembled
“You are most kind your Grace” you said with heated cheeks, “I believe you haven't met my brother yet” you pointed out
“Your Highness” Steve bowed again, as your brother leaned his chin
“Your Grace” Clark responded
“And our ambassador, His Excellency, Oliver Queen”
“We have met before” said Steve, and the man beside you nodded, “His majesty send me” he said, “He wants to make sure you are prepared”
“He wanted you to make sure I didn't run?” they didn´t laughed but rather stared at you, “I am very sorry, my nervousness is talking for me” Steve smiled kindly at you
“You have nothing to be nervous about,” he said, “Now, I will go back and announce the musicians to start playing…” You nodded, “Good luck your Highness”
“That might be the last time somebody calls you that” your bother remarked
“You are right!” you murmured. Steve left you with a smile on his face
“It's my turn to go to my post” said Oliver, he took your hand in between his, “Best of lucks my Sweet Princess” you smiled and nodded, as he left you as well
The musicians started to play, and you felt your belly tightened in several knots
“Brother if I go through with this, this cannot be undone” you murmured, Clark looked at you in panic
“Sister please, our country needs this alliance”
“I know” the gates opened up before, revealing the interior of the Cathedral, the tall painted ceilings, the hallway all decorated by white flowers, and all the people gathered there, they all had his eyes on you, in the End, in front of the golden Altar, stood the King, your future, dresses as you were, in golden colours.
Tumblr media
You didn't question, never, you never asked “why? Why do I have to do this?” they had taught you so, even if it was your birthright, you weren't trained as a Queen, only a Queen consort, so you did as you were told, and that was it.
So the worst possible time to start questioning, was when you were in front of your future husband, as he took your hands in his to start the wedding ceremony. Did you really have to? It was too late now, but, were you going to be a good wife? Would you please him? Would you be able to give him children? Would he divorce you if you couldn´t? Would he ask for an annulment? Would he commit adultery? Would he ever love you? It scared you to think he might not, to be trapped in a loveless marriage, but that what was expected
But that didn't work for you. When you look into his eyes your stomach flutters, like it was filled with little butterflies. He was so handsome, those blue eyes, that hair, the manly features of his face, his big body that made you desire to be between his arms all day and all night. He smiled when he saw your face, and you feel your cheeks heated when you realise the way you were looking at him, with adoration and wonder. You felt your heart pumping in your chest so hard, you were certain he could hear it too
“Repeat after me” the bishop whispered to you, and you did, as strongly as you could
“I, (Y/N) take you, James, for my lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, and for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us apart. I will love and honor you all the days of my life” you concluded, and you gave thanks to the lord your voice haden´t crack
“I, James” his voice sounded like a thunder, “Take you (Y/N), for my lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, and for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us apart. I will love and honor you all the days of my life”
He leaned in to kiss your cheek
“My Wife” he whispered in your ear, giving you goosebumps all over your spine. You both turned around to face the crowd, and everyone started cheering.
The King may love you, or he may not, but as from this very moment there was only one thing clear, you were a Queen, this was now your people, this was now your country, and you were going to fulfill your birth given duty, and put all your heart on it.
You longed for a moment alone with your husband, but fate kept you from it. As he grabbed your hand to exit the cathedral, you finally thought it was your time, but alas, it wasn´t. The open chariot you requested was waiting for you both, alongside the screaming crowd
Tumblr media
He wanted to eat your face with kisses, he wanted to erase your shyness with his bare hands roaming your body. He hoped you'd never notice the hunger in his eyes, for he feared you´d be even more intimidated by him
Since the first time he saw you walking towards him shyly and nervous, like a little deer, he wanted to devour you. He knew he didn't need to be nervous anymore, not with you, not about you. When he saw you he felt relieved
You were barely a woman, and he wanted to eliminate that remaining innocence himself
He couldn't wait much longer to make you his
And now by the Power of God and himself, as King, you were finally and irrevocably his
Till death do you apart
You wouldn't lose his sight, as he watched you intently as you went from side to side of the great hall, greeting everyone, you were adorable, good with people, as everyone you meet in your path was left smiling and nodding their acceptance at you.
He was right, the tiara of his mother looked great on your divine head
His gaze left your form to search for another, Lady Sharon was nowhere to be seen, neither was she the days before the wedding, actually, he haden´t seen her since the night of Tony´s wedding, two weeks ago.
His eyes stopped on another curious figure he haden´t seen before, a tall muscular man, sipping his goblet of wine, looking around. He was your brother, the successor to your father to take the throne. When he catched the King looking, he felt free to walk towards him
“You majesty” said when he had him in front of him
“Your highness” he responded
“I´m so very sorry we couldn´t meet before the wedding” he started, “but it was so sudden”
“Well, yes, why wait?”
“Well she had been waiting for 5 years” he growled, whispering against his goblet
“Yes indeed” he growled, growing impatient, your brother had unclear intentions, and the King wanted him to express them
“I´m so sorry I have to left the court soon” he continued, “Now that I´ve seen my sister to this new court, I´m weary of leaving her here, alone”
“She is not alone” oh he was starting to hate his political family, “She is with me, her husband”
“Yes and also, I´m leaving her in the care of someone else, that has expressed his love for her”
“Whom do you speak off?” now he had the King's attention
“Well, his excellency, our ambassador” he said like it was obvious
“Oh, and he loves her?” When had he started grinding his teeth?
“He does, as his princess and sovereign”
“But she is not his princess and sovereign now, isn't she?” he asked, defiance in his voice, “She is our Queen now”
“Shouldn't all your subjects and members of court love her?” Clark demanded. Bucky looked at him like he wanted to kill him
“Yes, of course, but only I can truly love her”
“Well as his brother, you must understand my concerns” he said, “She is a loving and beautiful princess, and I, as his brother and next King, I must see that she is treated and met with the dignity and respect she deserves” that's when they turned to see each other
“Are you implying, Sir, that I disrespect her? that I won't maintain her dignity?”
“I´m just making sure you know she is not alone” he growled. Bucky and him stared at each other, the ambience was tense, if they weren't in the middle of the feast they would have drawn up their swords
“I will treat her with the respect and dignity she deserves, as a crown princess of a neighboring Kingdom, and as my wife” he said, grumply
“I'm glad to hear it,” he said, smiling softly. “And I hope, now that I´m here, that I can have an audience with his majesty, tomorrow”
“Let's save it for two days from now” he said, Bucky smiled wickedly, “You must understand that tonight is the wedding night, and I would not like to cut it short, as I plan on expand it all day tomorrow” Clark saw red and if this man wasn't a King, he would have punch him in the face, “Enjoy the rest of the feast” Bucky didn't move, but he expected Clark to do so, as he nodded, and walked away
Bucky then seated again in his throne, his gaze travelling all around the ballroom looking for you, until he finally found you again, but he didn't like what he saw
“Are you enjoying your feast?” Steve asked, seating beside him on the big table
“Yeah, sure” he said dismissively
“Doesn´t your wife look beautiful?” he asked, smiling widely
“Steve I'm starting to think you motivated me to marry her so I´d invite her to court so she´d be close to you” Steve looked back at his King surprised at his implication
“I pushed the subject so much because I had your best interests at heart” he said firmly, and seriously. Steve had never seen his friend jealous, but when he followed his gaze, he understood why, “You have nothing to worry about from me” he insisted
“Yes I know, you are too loyal, and she is too innocent” he growled, his eyes anchored on you “Why is she dancing and talking with the ambassador?” he asked, his teeth shut tight
“That's the thing” Steve whispered in his ear with a mocking smile, “If you don´t dance, she´ll dance with somebody else” Bucky let out a growl, “She is the most devastatingly beautiful woman at court”
“She haden´t met him until the first time she was here, and now she seems rather comfortable with him” Steve found it entertaining how he was getting riled up
“I do believe I heard him say that If you made her unhappy, he was going to steal her from you”
“WHAT?” Bucky stood up so fast Steve found it amusing. And he didn't wait much longer until he directed himself upon you
When your giggles and hushed tones reached his ears he almost saw red
“And remember what I said your majesty, we could always go...”
He trapped your hips with his big hand, startling you
“Where?” he said, smiling fakely as he brought you to him. You were caught by surprise, but smiled softly when you felt the warmth of his body pressed against yours
“Your majesty, it was a wonderful wedding” he said bowing to your husband
“Where do you wish to take my wife?” he asked again
“Well…” you saw his nervousness and feared for it
“His Excellency has seen so much of the world” you said quickly, “Just now he was speaking to me about a green island, with trees tall as castles, and colorful animals like the rainbow” it wasn't a lie though, “He wished we could go with him” that seemed to please him, “Both of us”
“I heard you won't take the following weeks of your marriage to take the traditional wedding tour by your country” he said with a grin
“Well as you may know my wife just got to court and will have her settled here before I can take her to see the rest of my Kingdom” you felt as he was not telling you the truth, but you didn't dare to say so
“Of course I understand, and that was a wise decision” he said, bowing again, sensing he was on thin ice with the King, you didn't understand why though
Tumblr media
He wanted to wait. You were so sweet and shy, not at all as you seemed in your painting, so he wanted to play dumb tonight, wait until it was late at night, so you could send everyone to bed, no bedding ceremony, not a public event of it. He knew that could make trouble on his marriage and its validity, but that didn't matter to him. He would consummate the marriage with you later, when you had known eachother better, and you were ready.
But then
Your brother came to him, implying you could leave, or that you “weren't alone” whatever that meant, Steve came after, saying again how much beautiful you were, implying you could also have someone else, and then this idiot ass, the ambassador, if it wasn't a representative of his country, your country, he would have made him disappear.
It was too much
He was the King
You were his wife
And he was going to have you, and prove to all of them, that you were his.
He tightened his grip on your hips and you shook in his hands
“Are you ready for the consummation?” he asked, loud enough so the people near you could hear it, and that was enough for the whole party to go silent.

My love, his duty // Chapter 1.2
Tumblr media
MASTERLIST
Chapter Summary: You had raised his King´s curiosity, now it was your turn to entertain him through his envoys
Pairing: King!Bucky Barnes x Princess!FemaleReader (very ambiguously described)
Chapter Warnings: Talk about non fictional characters, talk about war, very tamed chapter 
+18 please. (but just for future explicit sex scenes, battles and war) 
Word Count (Chapter): 3.1k
Notes: Our reader seems to be jumping trough hoops, but don´t worry, she will jump them all.
I couldn´t help but use real history characters for a conversation she holds with a duke about military strategy, but just that, I don´t menton places, just names for context. 
Tumblr media
2nd trial
You saw the Duke of Malibu get off his chariot
You were ready to receive him, because he had sent word of his arrival before him. He was of his Majesty´s council, he was the council man of war. He was close to the King, and as Lord Wilson has taught you, he gazed upon your form on the painting alongside the King, meaning he was a close friend to him as well.
Now his family had always been close to the Royal House, his father before him was a councilman himself of your Majesty´s father. 
Having a warning of his visit had allowed you to prepare your castle accordingly, he was of a great family and that came with expectations, so you had the help of your entire household to put the castle upside down, cleaning it to his last nook, and replacing everything that needed replacement.Your favorite room, the summer room, had received an extreme renovations to host the Duke
The House of Stark was a famous one in this and many realms, as being a family that started as blacksmiths, but rather quickly they began to make machines for war besides swords, gaining renown and the favors of the King
It wasn't a coincidence that after all these years, barely receiving visitors, you received the second one without a fortnight from your previous encounter with Lord Wilson. The King was putting you through trials, curious about your behavior and your person.
“Your Royal Highness” he said with a deep bow
“Your Grace” you greeted
You had to be carefull, every one of these men, and according to Sam, they were in high regard to King James´ heart. But every man was different, and each and every one of them would come back with different tales of you, your grace and specially your doing
You guide him and his small court inside, as Lunch was ready for your guests
“You must be famished” you started, “may I offer you lunch? we are serving a Boar that I hunted myself” 
“Nothing would please me more” he muttered with a smile
You looked at him over your goblet filled with honeyed wine, you tried to change your wine cellar a little bit with your second visitor, the way he moved, and talked told you he was worlds away from Lord Wilson. His clean boots would let you know a hunting trip wouldn't cut it with him, nor would your physical skills impress him, he was the council man of war was he not?
“May I ask what her highness finds so amusing?” he asked, as you were smiling without even realising it
“I´ve been meaning to ask your Grace” you started, like you were sharing a secret with him, “Did you come up with the idea of the armour for horses because of the late emperor Antoichus the Great?” his eyes widened and glimmered
“You know of Antiochus?” he asked, as he drowned his words himself on a sip of wine 
“Well, I personally preferred Hannibal's tactics with his elephants, but the army of the Emperor has to be properly admired and studied, don´t you think?”
And that's how you won over Duke Anthony Stark
He was quickly to get rid of his squires and companions, to have you all to himself, except for Wanda, and a couple of servants that kept pouring you wine, as you took him to the library to show him your great collections of the volumes of military and war strategies
You ended up halfway drunk in honeyed wine, playing chess with him at high hours of the night, discussing military strategies and what went wrong between the wars of the mythical Hannibal and Scipio 
He left hungover the next morning, as you let him kiss both of your rosy cheeks, he still smelled like wine as he chuckled and giggled goodbyes, and something on the verge of “Our king is an idiot, I will marry you myself” whispered to your ear
You could only smile and wink at Wanda, who looked more ecstatic and excited than you 
Tumblr media
At the return of the Duque, all the friends meet again
“So, Stark” said James “what do you think?”
“Marry her” he said with a smile “before the emperor's son himself learns about her and steals her from you”
“The emperor uh?” he asked “the most powerful man in all the known world?”
“I´m afraid if he do manages to steals her from you, he would be unstoppable”
“How so?” Now James was intrigued. Tony Stark was the oldest of his friends, he spoke ill of marriage, he took so long on taking a wife, and even now he was just engaged, yet to be married, and it made him terribly curious about who would change his opinion, his mystery betrothed 
“She is of incredible wit, cunning and knowledge about war and strategy, knows so much, studying the greatest generals of our time, as her favorite hobby, as she would confide in me”
“But you are my counselman of war and armory” he said, impressed 
“But I'm afraid she has come toe to toe with me, in discussions of such matters”
“Well, Your Grace” he finally call upon his best friend Steve “you will visit the princess, I want your truly and honest opinion, if she is as magnificent as everyone claims, you, at the end of your stay, will extend her my invitation to join us at court”
“Yes your Majesty” he said with a wide smile “It would be my pleasure”
Tumblr media
3rd trial
What did the visit of the King's most trusted advisors mean? Why now? was it all because of an stupid painting? it was a bold one, it had never been seen before, such a lude representation of a monarch, had it really meant so much to the King? So why send his men, his lords? Was he testing you? did he want to know how or what you were, sending his friends here, to take histories back with them?
You felt like you were on trial 
You thought fleetingly of your father, the letters you´d exchange throughout the years, fewer as the time flew by. He was annoyed, he was upset, his daughter, wasting away in a random castle, instead of marrying the King, you felt like if you had failed your life mission, you were sent as a part of a treaty, to marry the King, and you haven't done so. You had failed. You were a failure
And you couldn't go back home, even if you haven't fulfilled this part of the deal, both nations enjoyed between them treaties of commerce, food, grains, and also ammunitions and soldiers
Were you going to live in that castle all your life? never to see your family again? never married? all alone?
Your horse felt your nervousness, and acting in kind, he galloped through the woods with you on top of him, it was a fast steed, young and nervous just the perfect amount to make him cautions, his hair so black is shined with the lights that fell upon the tallest branches of the trees above you 
But then it happened, as he was jumping to avoid a root on the ground, a branch cough your shoulder, making you lose balance, as you struggled to grip it, your leg was caught on another and you couldn't do anything but brace yourself as you fell from the saddle and into the ground 
You felt all the air leave your lungs as you touched the ground. thanking it was grass and moss, and not rocks or hard ground
“Your Highness!” a guard yelled behind you, as you heard him unmount to come in your aid, as the other grabbed your horse. With his help you rose to your feet without any problem, figuring you didn't hurt anything
“Are you alright, your highness?” you nodded, still struggling to get air into your lungs. you raised your hand to tell them in a way you were fine, but still trying to regain the air that was drawn from you 
You stood slowly, with the help of one of your guards, moving all your sore limbs, a sense of rush was installed in your body, not allowing you to feel any pain, you had fell before, you knew that was a fleeting sensation and you would be more sore in the morning
“I'm fine” you muttered, as you tried to clean yourself for the wetness of the leaves, some still stuck to your clothing “Thank you” you said with a shy smile, as you grabbed your horse from the han
The ride back to the castle was more quiet, at least in your head, you focused on the scenery, the smell of the woods, the feeling of your horse between your legs. You tried to banish those dark thoughts from your mind. 
If by the time you turn 20, in a few months, you are not married, you will write to your father, to ask him to go back home
As soon as you entered the estables you jumped of your noble steed, gasping for air, as the last strode had taken all your energy, the warm of your fall dissipating, leaving your body tired, cold and in distraught
You stumbled upon the floor of the stables, struggling to find your foot. Your fall had been tough, but not enough to open wounds on your flesh, and everything seemed to move properly, so nothing was broken, rather than your camisole, and the leather tights you used under your skirt, that was damaged as well.
You drew a sharp breath, your hand instinctively went to your stomach as you tried to normalize your breathing, but it got caught in your chest, when you looked around the stable, and came across a tall figure, standing in the door of the stables on the other side.
He was the most handsome man you had ever laid eyes upon, his tall and impeccable stature, broad shoulders, blonde hair, and gazing blue eyes, his facial features so manly yet soft. His pose revealed a high standard, and his clothing and his coloring revealed the same
You forgot how to breathe
Were you in the presence of the King?
You have never gazed upon your betrothed, not even in portraits, they said he was a very handsome and tall man, was that him?
If it was, in those short seconds that you gazed upon one another, you owed him your respects, but if he wasn't´ he was the one to present to you. You tilted your head, still gazing upon him, as he did the same. His piercing gaze traveled upon all your form, taking you in, as he seemed to be in shock, maybe it was your appearance who caused such, all muddy and ghastly
If he didn´t present his respects, then you had to, and you were about to, you moved softly so he in turn, woke up from his haze, and draw his knee to the floor
“Your Royal Highness” he presented, and you draw a relieved breath
“My lord?” you said, but also asked
“My name is Steven, of the House of Rogers, Duke of York” you walked hastily towards him, and took his hand to help him on his feet. You didn't know if you felt relieved or disappointed that he wasn't your King, but still he had to regain his foot, since as a Duke, he was the highest nobility of the realm.
You remembered your lessons from your governess, the House of Rogers was a noble house, Steve´s father was friends with King James´ father. and so on, for many generations
“It's a great honor to meet you your Grace, I´am most sorry for my appearance” he dwarfed you in size, since when he was in full height you looked directly into his chest
“Your company in waiting was preoccupied, they send me to look for you, your Highness - he said
“I´m sorry then, for my tardiness to receive you, your grace, I suffered an accident in the woods I´m afraid”
“Then I must fetch the greatest physician in the realm to tend to you, for your health”  he said quickly
“I´m alright your Grace, thank you” you started walking towards the castle, signaling him to walk besides you “I am most sorry I wasn't here to welcome you properly” you excused yourself, even if you have not received any warning of his arrival
“I am the one who should be sorry” he said, “His Majesty would send me here right away, didn't give me any time to announce my arrival”
“The King himself sent you?” you asked coyly. 
“Indeed” he said, looking around but not for long as his gaze kept returning to you. “He is most thrilled with the impressions you had made on his closests friends”
“So he sent you as well?” you didn't intend to sound like an insult, but it did. But you felt immediate relief when he chuckled, instead of taking it the wrong way
“Well…” he said. He walked tall, with his hands clasped behind his back. His blue velvet clothing shone in the afternoon sun. “I am free to say I´m the closest friend to his majesty” you nodded, understanding his words. “And he send me here for, well, to gaze upon you”
“I am supposed to be his betrothed” you muttered, “And he put trials upon me, yet he doesn't speak of marriage” you were being bold, but you didn't care anymore 
“His majesty is a cautions man” he said “A king cannot take issues of marriage lightly”
“I understand” there was no reason nor need to fight him over this. You would treat this man as you did the others, find out what he liked, exploit it, and send him on his way with a smile, and maybe some wine. “Well, it's early for supper, but I do want to tend to you and your companions” you would give him what he needed from you, but nothing else, you shall speak no more of what was on your mind, as you gave him a soulless smile
“And we will be honored for it” he said firmly
“If you must excuse me” you said, “I must change into clothes more accordingly for the occasion” you were still wearing your riding attire and you felt the dirt clinging to your body
“Of course” he nodded and you bowed with your head slightly, to turn for the stairs, leaving him there standing
You were growing frustrated at the entire thing, but Steve seemed sweet, and a true gallant gentleman. So you focused on cleaning yourself, and changing into one of your finest dresses, it was blue and golden, like the colours of his majesty, and you smiled at your reflection, as Wanda help you put on your jewels as well 
When you went downstairs to met your newest visitor, you found him waiting for you just as you left him, when he saw you come down the stairs, he drawed an amused face, as he offered you his hand to support yourself the last three steps
“You look astonishing your Highness” he complimented
“My lord you are most kind” you couldn't help but blush. As you still with your hand trapped between his, walked towards the dining room, where the food was served
As you were finishing your supper, between faint conversation, Steve dropped everything to look at you, you caught on, and paid him your total attention
“The king would love nothing else but your presence at court, Your highness” he proclaimed, and then you did drop the fork you were holding
You took your time to give him an answer, you pondered in seconds then seemed hours to him, and also for you
You were a firstborn of your house, you were a Princess, and a Future Queen in your own right, but forced on a strange land to marry a King, that apparently had no intention of marrying you, but you discovered there in your own castle, that you were happy, doing whatever you pleased, reading whatever you pleased, in a charming little town. For the first time in your life, in all those 5 years you´ve been secluded here, you realised that you could do whatever you wanted.. You adored your castle, and the people within its walls, who were like a family to you. 
And now, you had picked the interest of your King, unwillingly, almost by mistake, and he wants to meet you, only for his curiosity, and nothing else, coming back to a Royal Court? a place filled with unknown people, treacherous persons, that defended their interests and their interests alone? And you were all alone amongst them 
You looked at him, directly into his blue eyes
“No” you said simply
“No?” he asked, amused, he couldn't manage to hide that little smirk he gifted you with when he found something you said amusing
“My King seems to want me to make an appearance at court, intrigued by the tales Lord Anthony and Lord Wilson had fill his ears with, I'm certain, he is curious, he wants to see me, meet me, but he does not talk about marriage” he was going to said something, but he interrupted himself “I´m afraid appearing in court as a foreign princess and not as a future queen, seems as appealing to me as shoot myself in my leg with my crossbow”
Tumblr media
“She said, what?” he asked, clenching his teeth so hard they might turn to dust
“She said that appearing to court not being anything else but your betrothed sounds as appealing to her, as shooting herself in the leg with her crossbow” the lords close to the king broke out in laughter
“I had told you so, your majesty” said Lord Anthony “her highness is a feisty little creature”
“My King” said Vision, bowing to him, so close to him He was the only one to hear “I understand your concerns regarding the Princess, she is a stranger to you, but may I remind you the necessity of this Kingdom for an heir, an heir of Royal Blood, and the Princess´ Father, King Edward, is growing impatience...”
“I'm aware” he growled under his breath
“It's time my lord, with the rumors of the uprising so close and clear to our ears, you need to strengthen your Throne, and your dynasty”
“Very well then” he said after a long breath, “Steven you must return to her, with my word and the promise of our marriage” the Vision, as he was known, smiled widely and nodded. Steve smiled as well he vowed profusely, before exiting his majesty´s chambers to fulfill his command 
Bucky gazed upon the painting of his future Queen, the painting he had hanged on his private council´s chambers, the place he met with his most trusted advisors and friends, only them could gaze upon her portrait
