Tales of Jehannan Royalty

A story that was mainly based on a favorite pairing of mine (Joshua x Marisa) but it turned into something big. So,please enjoy this tale.

I do not own Fire Emblem, and boy does that information depress me.


"Aha! I win again!" Marisa exclaimed.

"No! GRRRR! It can't be!" Joshua shouted as a response.

They were kneeling at a short table in the royal bedchamber. The table topped with only a pair of dice and a few coins.

"Hey, Josh. Do you think you should be shirking your duties like this?" Marisa inquired.

"Oh. Sounds like you're worried." Joshua said overconfidently.

"Worried about what?"

"Worried you might lose. Duh."

"Well, lets play another little game…with another little wager…and we'll just see if lady luck still likes me better."

"Marisa, I'm pretty sure lady luck isn't gay so I think I'll win."

"There is only one way to find out, I guess."

Then, Marisa rolled the dice and…

The next day

Joshua sat on his throne, bored out of his mind. He had been forced by his wife to listen to the comments and complaints of the countrymen. Though his body was sitting on the throne, appearing to be listening to the complaints of a bratty, gaunt, red-haired teenager, his mind was doing other things.

In his head, he was dwelling on the bet he made with his wife the night before. Oh, how he regretted it. Perhaps if his queen didn't constantly change personalities, he wouldn't be in this mess. If his wife was her old self more often, she probably wouldn't have accepted last nights first challenge/bet, and then he wouldn't be in the throne room fake listening to the bratty Jehannan teen complain about the constant death by pastries, or whatever he was whining about. This just shows how little attention the charming king was paying to the desert residents.

"So…?" the gaunt boy asked, "Sir? Your highness?"

"Huh?!" Joshua exclaimed, "Oh. Uh, right. I'll get back to you on that."

The boy was escorted to the door of the throne room. As soon as Joshua was sure nobody was listening, he turned to his queen, Marisa, and began to complain.

"Gee, thanks, Marisa." Joshua said sarcastically to his wife, "I really enjoy listening to the annoying cries of bratty peasants. I just love it when they complain about how hard their life is. They should try being royalty. It's hard!"

"Josh!" Marisa scolded, "These people came to you from the far corners of Jehanna, in hopes that you would fix their problems and you weren't even listening?!"

"I'm sorry, but its your fault! You accepted my bet!"

"Yeah, right! You're the one who offered!"

"If you didn't change your personality, I wouldn't be in this mess!"

"Being married to a charming person like you changed me."

"Oh, crap! It is all my fault. But, I can't change that I'm charming, so…you're off the hook. Plus, there's only one more, right?"

"Sir, the last one is here. Are you ready?" The guard inquired.

"Send him in."

But, allowing the last "civilian" in was a big…


So,there is the first chapter of my first multi-chapter fic. Please review,and help me like you help others. In my opinion, this story is no doubt better than my first. Also, I know this chapter isn't the best,but the next one will be...hopefully. These characters may also,possibly be out of character...i'm sorry.
