Well, this is my first story i'm making that is more than one chapter. I hope you all enjoy it. :)
Lovino Vargas, and Feliciano Vargas are two twin brothers who rule a kingdom together ever since they took over for their grandfather. Feliciano was a kind hearted loving king whose peasants were as happy as can be. Lovino Vargas, he was a strict ruler though not evil he just wouldn't put up with anything other than respectful and well behaved peasants. The people of the kingdom preferred King Feliciano, though Lovino was the one keeping the kingdom in order and making sure all the people were well fed and taken care of. His brother was too busy crying over simple things making him unqualified to run the kingdom correctly. Lovino knew this, he knew his grandfather wanted Lovino to run the kingdom he just wanted Feliciano to make sure the people stayed happy and didn't cause a riot or mutiny. Soon enough though this kingdom isn't going to be happy anymore. Nothing will fix what is about to come, not even the most advanced guards can stop him.
"Fratello, will you stop day dreaming for a second and help me!?" Lovino shouts growing annoyed that his crown wouldn't stay on his head as usual.
"Ve! That is the wrong crown again big brother, you're wearing nonno's crown." Feliciano picks up a slightly smaller crown that looks exactly like Lovino's and puts it on his head.
To Lovino's embarrassment he did in fact put on the wrong crown again. "Grazie…" he mumbles looking down at the floor.
Feliciano smiles "Can you believe you're finally turning eighteen!" Though they are twins they were born a few years apart.
Lovino smiles "It is kind of exciting, that means I'll have more responsibility though in the kingdom. It's not like people like me though…" his smile turns in to a frown. He knows he isn't the most popular king but at least he knows how to run the place.
He sighs looking up at the ceiling, "Let's hope no one tries causing a riot, I swear I'll have the guards on them faster than they can even let out a protest."
Feliciano continues helping Lovino get ready for his coronation, the year a ruler turns eighteen they have a coronation to show how they've grown in to an adult and can fully take on the kingdom's responsibilities. Lovino didn't know if he was ready for that just yet though and he was growing nervous. So many things could go wrong, many people will not be happy even though he is the most hated king in the land he's still well respected and he hopes the respect they have will outnumber the hatred for his cruel behavior. Once Lovino was ready and prepared for his speech to the public, He was heading to the balcony to speak. The speech was important what he said to his people would decide if they thought of him as a good enough leader. He hopes he doesn't mess up he wants to make his grandfather proud he wants to please his people.
"My loyal subjects, on this day I hope you will allow me to continue my leadership as your king. I will do anything I can to make sure this kingdom stays powerful, wealthy, and taken care of. " Lovino gulps looking down noticing all the people below.
I am following my grandfather's footsteps in making sure you are all happy I will do my best to be a good leader, I will keep laws fair and simple." He noticed people cheering and grew confidence.
"We will not fall in to another depression like we did when our old king had passed. We've come far in our time and I hope to keep moving forward in greatness." Lovino smiles hearing the crowd shout "Long live the king!"
Once the coronation was over and Lovino gave his speech he was finally able to go back in his room for a minute to calm down. Soon he'd have to go down to the ballroom and deal with a huge party going on down there. His brother Feliciano was already there talking to people and keeping the party full of happy subjects. Lovino sighs laying on his bead that went well, better than he thought it would and that he was grateful for. After finally calming down he was now going to attend the party, and hopefully meet some of the new people they would be trading goods with. They need to keep good relationships with traders to keep food and goods coming to the kingdom.
Lovino meets with a man who was a few inches taller than him. "Hello your majesty, a pleasure it is to meet you." He purrs and Lovino didn't like it.
"Good day, and I wish you didn't speak to me in such a manner." He hisses narrowing his eyes.
The man was attractive he'll give him that much, he had dark green eyes that were shining with a hint of mischief. He had dark blonde hair long enough to make a pony tail which was tied back by a green ribbon. His skin a light tan he looks like those exotic people from that far away land. They spoke a language Lovino did not like since it seems as if they thought they were all above anyone who didn't come from their land. All they did was drink tea and talk about ridiculous things their queen can barely control the country it's pathetic. He had a strange accent it was kind of funny the way he sounded though his voice was kind of deep.
The man chuckles "My deepest apologies your highness, I should know not to speak to royalty in such away. Please forgive me." He bows and kisses my hand almost tauntingly.
Lovino scoffs in disgust pulling his hand away in a sharp movement. "Do not touch me, who knows where you are from!" Lovino rolls his eyes if he wasn't a trader he wouldn't be even wasting his time with this man.
The man looks up smirking "Of course…now, I would like to speak of business with you." He stands up straight and steps closer.
Lovino glares at the man "What business would you like to have with my kingdom?" he speaks low feeling as if he should be on guard with this man. Something wasn't right about him.
"Well, trade of course! I have many valuable goods, food from far off lands! The best stuff you'll ever see no doubt!" he boasts about his many valuable things though it didn't seem to interest Lovino he's heard this before and doubts he'll come through with what he says.
"Oh, yes I haven't heard that before!" he gives a fake gasp and does an amazed face, which soon turns to a bored and unamused one.
The trader looks at him with a confused expression, "You do not believe me."
Lovino shakes his head "No, I do not I know this is some ploy to get me to agree in to trading with you only to find out it's all a bunch of garbage I could find in my subject's trash." He crosses his arms and huffs.
The trader smiles a bit amused by the young king. "So, I see you won't be doing business with me?"
Lovino smirks "No, why would I you haven't shown me any reason to." The trader nods and turns away.
Lovino was about to walk away himself when he hears the man call out. "You will regret not doing business with me I am a trader of many things, some things you may not know."
Lovino scoffs was that supposed to be a threat if so that was a very bad one. He walks over to his brother and made sure he wasn't doing anything too stupid and making a fool of the royal family. The party soon calmed down and everyone went home leaving the two princes to finally get some sleep. Lovino had a long day and he was glad he was finally going to get the rest he needed. He walked in to his room looking around in the dark. His eyes wide and he gasps seeing a strange figure in his room he slowly moves to turn on the lights and got ready to call the guards. With a shaking hand, he got the lights on and sighed seeing it was only his stupid robe hanging up. Lovino shakes his head chuckling at himself.
"That bastard must have got to me, heh. What could he possibly do though he can't sneak in to the castle he's only one man." Lovino cringes realizing he was talking to himself and that's not very princely.
He sighs once more climbing in bed after changing and doing his nightly routine. His bed was huge and it was a lot bigger than he needed. Though he wasn't complaining since he moves a lot in his sleep meaning if he had a small bed he'd probably fall off it constantly. He turns on to his side so he was facing the wall looking away from the slightly opened door to his room. Normally he closes, and locks the door but he was too tired to think about that right now. He was sure one night of not locking it would be ok, not like anyone in the castle is trying to kill him. He laughs at the idea, as if they'd kill him they wouldn't want to upset poor precious Feliciano. He closes his eyes tightly trying to get rid of all the annoying thoughts running through his head he just wanted to sleep. So finally, he fell asleep listening to the wind and the sound of his own heartbeat. Not knowing the dangers that lurked in the shadows behind the castle.
