The Prince And His Court

by Let'sDefyGravity

AU, medieval setting. Haruhi wants to help her father, one of the unwealthy nobles, and the best way to that is to become a knight. The only problem? Only boys can become knights. Oh well. At the capital, Haruhi meets the prince and his strange court.

1. Intro

So this is my first Ouran fanfic - and the second fanfic I've written. Ever. So be gentle with me ;_; So a little background, lest you get one paragraph into the story and close the window after having a WTF moment -

So This is totally AU. Kind of a... parallel universe in a way. Mildly medieval, like princes, knights, courts. In these particular kingdoms in this story, women aren't very useful - pretty much just decoration at court, meant to be married off as soon as possible so that their family can get the dowry, and their new husbands get them in their prime years for childbirth. Pleasant, right? So this particular story takes place in a kingdom called Alanora, and for the most part in the capital city of Ouran.

Note: If some of the plot seems familiar to you, I did get a lot of inspiration from Tamora Pierce's the Song of the Lioness quartet. And here we go.
