Why does my brain want to hurt me? Why? Anyway, enjoy this fic that I had to delete because I have other WIPs to work on, and finals for school. So yeah. Not the best time brain. I have had so much inspiration for this fic recently, and I'll link the YouTube playlist that I listened to while working on the second chapter of this, which I will try to upload sometime next week.
Won't let me link it, so here's the title.
you marry the villain to save your kingdom | dark royalty core playlist.
"Why does the Emperor want me dead?", Rey asks, moving closer to the edge of the hangar, waiting for him to make a move. "You killed them.", he says simply, standing there, waiting, like he had been planning to tell her this all along. "Killed who?" "The ones whom you waited for your entire life. Your parents." Rey stops, her world spinning. How-she- they had been killed by the Jedi hunter. She couldn't have. But another flashback hits her this time. The desert, bright sand, Plutt holding her back. The same ship, her child self crying, but it goes on. She sees herself reach up, as if to try and grasp the last fragment of her childhood, only for blue light to shoot out, engulfing the ship, obliterating it. She falls out of a nightmare, only to be met with the reality around her. Him. The darkness called, reaching for her, trying to hold her. She steps forward, making up her mind. She has to let in her darkness. His gloved hand is still reaching out, and she grabs it. "I can't go back, just like you can't. I'm coming with you."
"Good. At last, the Final Order will have its rulers.", Palpatine says. Kylo and Rey step forward, standing before the throne, waiting. Palpatine's claw machine comes to them." You must take the throne, and rule this order , for I am afraid that my body is failing me, and when it does, my spirit must pass into you both." Rey raises Kylo's lightsaber, and ignites its fiery red blade, unstable, but deadly, and strikes the killing blow. The chanting around them increases until it has become deafening, and they ascend the throne, watching the battle above.
"Empress, the Sith Loyalists are here to negotiate terms with you." "Send them in." The two figures wearing rough, worn cloaks, slowly walk in, almost gliding across the floor. "Empress Kira of the Final Order, the late Emperor Palpatine left some terms that must be fulfilled in order to keep the Sith Colony here alive." She stiffens. "State your terms then. But I will remind you that we are allies." "Yes, of course. But the Sith of old must be pleased, and they themselves sent this through Palpatine. You must come to the Temple on Exagol every year, bringing with you the most physically perfect virgin you can find in your kingdom. She will be used to help build the army that you will need to conquer. This girl must be force sensitive to a certain degree, however. Otherwise, she can not be accepted. You must do this every year." "Those are terms I will agree to. I can discuss this with my consort. For now, I must ask if there are any other terms of importance you wish to discuss. If not, you will be given quarters aboard the ship to rest until a final decision has been made." "Yes. If you have a daughter, she must be brought to the temple during the yearly pilgrimage in her 17th year of life. She will be married there, to a suitable prince that you and the Sith Loyalist council have come to an agreement on." Rey frowns a bit at this, but nods. " I can say that will make finding her a husband much simpler. He will only be her consort , however. The line in this kingdom will be matriarchal, starting with me." "Of course. We will leave you to discuss this with your husband now. We expect a final answer by the end of this rotation." "Very well. I will have servants escort you to your quarters." Rey turns, and walks into her husband's study, glaring at him.
"I think what they are asking is much more reasonable than what could have been expected from them. After all, you and I will need to be sure that this line will continue. And I am sure a yearly trip will not inconvenience us. In fact, it will be an honor to connect with our roots." "I agree with you. But, I will be making sure that no child of ours has any connection with anything outside of what she must know. It is a weakness that we must eliminate." "I will make sure the history books are translated correctly. She will have no knowledge of the light as a source of goodness. She will only know it as something of danger and as something to fear." Rey looks at her husband sternly. "Make sure of this." She turns, and goes to deliver her message to those waiting for it.
7 months later
"Empress Kira, the small pocket of rebels has been tracked to the Naboo system. Do you wish to pursue them?" Rey glares at him, and sighs. Those rebels have been a true nuisance lately, she thinks, not allowing our Order any rest. "No. Send a spy. One of your finest, to hide among their ranks and report to me personally. I want to know every move they make before launching an attack." "Yes, my Empress." Rey turns to Kylo, frowning. 'Why don't you ever concern yourself with the Rebels?" "I have more important things to concern myself with," he says, patting her growing stomach. "And besides, the Rebels are your problem, not mine." "True. But that means you owe me extra tonight." Rey says, the gleam in her eye clearing showing her desire. "I'll leave you begging.", he mumbles, as the court files in for the main event of the day, a major execution.
3 Years later
"Mauli is getting stronger. She will have to be trained in order for any weakness to be eliminated." "Yes, but she is still too young. She should still observe the traditions of the Sith, and learn their history, before starting any real training.", Kylo retorts. Rey frowns. "She will start learning history and basic force skills then. She is not too young to learn basic skills that any schoolchild her age would know." He nods, and then turns his head to observe a pair of radar technicians working on a comm unit. She watches him, thinking. Mauli will not see the light, she thinks to herself. I will make sure of that. The royal pair walks till they reach the command bridge, where Admiral Hux is waiting. "You're here.", he says in an annoyed manner, but a flick of Kylo's hands causes him to become silent, and he signals to the blue figure flickering on the console. "The rebels have been spotted in one of the shady, scummy bars in the lower reaches of Coruscant. The spy in their ranks says that they have been trying to recruit for a year now, but that they have been highly unsuccessful." Kylo nods, and turns to Rey, who says, "They are not a foreseeable threat. Do not waste valuable resources on them, when so many worlds still need taming. Increase your efforts to find children who are force sensitive. They are a liability I will not allow to thrive. Remind your soldiers to stun, not kill. Those children need to experience quite a lot of pain if they wish to become a part of our army." "Empress Kira, Consort Ren, the Knights have arrived. They wish to talk about the girls that have been selected for the pilgrimage this year.", an Officer announces. "Good. I'll meet them in the main training hall." "I'll join you. Mauli should know and observe the warriors of the order that she will one day rule." "Fine.", he says, as they walk off to discuss whatever information the Knights have brought to them.
