The woes of the demon kings
AN/ hello again.
Chapter 2
Jaune paced back and forth in his room as he looked over to his bed were a young black haired girl slept. Jaune turned and looked to Ozpin who sat next to the bed sipping a cup of coffee. The princess had passed out the previous night and hadn't woken up yet. Ozpin had said the shock of the whole ordeal might have been too much for her as she might end up sleeping the day away just as she did the previous night.
"So let's go over this again." Jaune said as he pointed a hand and the sleeping girl. "This young girl is a princess, who you had the goblins kidnapped because I told you I wanted experience with women."
Jaune said as Ozpin nodded taking a sip from his mug of coffee. Jaune just stood there pinching the bridge of his nose as he let out a tired sigh.
"Why would you do that?"
Jaune asked as Ozpin simply shrugged as he set his mug down as he looked at the sleeping princess.
"I had only wanted to help you; I mean all I intended was to help you get more accustomed to women."
Ozpin said as Jaune just rubbed a hand down his face as he groaned.
"I can't believe you Ozpin, don't you know the predicament you have put us in!?" Jaune shouted as he threw his hands to his side in frustration. "What will we do if this girls family tries to attack us for this? I mean what if they send an army after us!?"
Jaune asked in frustration as Ozpin simply shrugged.
"Who knows, either way it doesn't matter, even if someone comes to retrieve the princess you could easily remove them."
Ozpin said as if it were going to be so simple causing Jaune just let out a tired sigh as he rubbed a hand over his face again.
"Ozpin don't you understand I have no desire to fight with humans. If we did we run the risk of them believing, we are going to try and start another war."
Jaune said as Ozpin simple took his glasses off as he went to wipe them down.
"Come now Jaune you are over thinking things; why would the humans think of this as a declaration of war when we just kidnapped one princess?"
Ozpin asked as Jaune just sighed as he rubbed his temples.
"Ozpin, you sent out everyother goblin in the castle to find a princess, only a hand full of them have returned which means the other goblins are still out looking for princess and now the ones that have returned are all high on chocolate!"
Jaune shouted as he pointed to the hall way were 18 little goblins were spread about laying on the floor mouths covered in chocolate as they seemed to be tripping as their eyes were as wide as dinner plates. Ozpin hummed at this as he put his glasses back on.
"Well there is nothing we should worry about; I mean the goblins are extremely stupid, it was a miracle they were even able to kidnap one princess. I mean there is no way they would be able to kidnap another."
Ozpin said as Jaune just sighed tiredly as he looked to the sleeping princess.
"I hope you are right Ozpin."
Jaune said as he let his adviser leave as he sat down to watch over the princess so he could explain the situation to her when she woke up.

In the snowy cliffs of the kingdom of Atlas stood a magnificent white castle with the crest of a snow flake and sword emblazoned at its gates and on the largest tower that stood overlooking the city. This castle was home to the most prestige's royal family in Atlas. This castle belongs to the Schnee family. Inside the castle's white garden were white roses as a young girl no older than 17 with long white hair tied up into an off center pony tail with a small crown placed on top. The girl had soft ice blue eyes with a small scar over her left eye. She was wearing a white dress with light frost like designs running around it. The girl just walked through the garden humming lightly as she smiled at the garden. As she walked through the garden a butler came up behind her with a note.
"My lady, your father has sent a message for you."
The butler said as he handed Weiss an envelope which she took. The white haired girl cast a small spell as a snow flake appeared on the envelope as it creates a small figure of an old man with slick back white hair and a large mustache.
"Dear Weiss
It seems that my trip is going to be delayed seeing to your fiancé. So your sister shall be arriving home before me. In other news though it seems the white demon king has kidnapped the daughter of the Rose family, with this new turn of events I would like for you to be careful even within the castle walls. So when your sister arrives she will be bringing some of her soldiers that General Ironwood has provided her. I truly hope you are safe.
With all my love, your father."
The small man said as it disappeared as the white haired girl now known as Weiss just sighed as she cast another spell over the note as it froze as she threw it to the ground shattering it to pieces. The butler just sighed as he went and cleaned up the shattered note.
"So my lady does this mean we should increase the guards if this demon king threat is true?"
The butler asked as Weiss just let out a tired sigh as she waved her hand at the butler.
"Please why would I need to be protected I can take care of myself."
Weiss said arrogantly as she walked away from the butler who just sighed as he went to follow after her.
"Please my lady, do not tell me you are still upset with your father for arranging a fiancé for you?"
The butler asked as Weiss just huffed as she continued to walk forward not looking back to the butler. The butler just let out a tired sigh as he walked behind Weiss as she towards her room.
"Well I can't change your mind, so please be careful, till your sister returns."
The butler said as Weiss just nodded at him as she walked into her room as the butler left. As the butler walked down the hall he just let out a small sigh as he turned the corner missing as a bucket that was full of ice fell down onto Weiss' head knocking her unconscious. Weiss' body slowly began to fall backwards into the waiting arms of several goblins that ran out from underneath a few tables in the hall and from inside the room. The goblins quickly tied the unconscious Weiss up and put her in a bag as they then carried her away.

Jaune walked back into his room carrying a tray of food for the sleeping princess. 'I hope she is hungry when she wakes up or this will be a waste of food.' Jaune thought as he set the tray down on the bed side table as he turned around to leave only to hear the sleeping princess groan as she moved about in the bed sitting up as she stretched her arms over her head as she let out a yawn.
"Yang you wouldn't believe the weird dream I just had." Ruby said as she rubbed her eyes not noticing that she was talking to Jaune. "In the dream I got kidnapped by a bunch of goblins and met this really cool looking guy who turned ou…."
Ruby stopped as she turned to look around the room she was in as she noticed it wasn't her room. She slowly turned to look at Jaune who just sat down next to the bed waving his hand at her. Ruby's eyes widened in shock as she let out a scream causing Jaune to cover his ears from the sound as Ruby quickly cast a spell around her as she went to run away only for her feet to get caught in the sheets of the bed as she then flew forward falling onto the floor with a heavy thump as she rolled getting wrapped up and trapped in the bed sheets. Jaune just rubbed his ears as he stood up walking over to the end of the bed were Ruby laid on the floor squirming as she tried to free herself from the sheets she had gotten trapped in.
She rolled flopped and kicked only getting more and more tangled in the sheets as she turned to yelp when she saw Jaune looking down at her as she tried to crawl away. Jaune had to admit it was pretty funny watching her as she wiggled away towards the door like a caterpillar.
"Easy there princess."
Jaune said as he grabbed hold of Ruby who tried to squirm and kick at him only to just wiggle in the sheets as Jaune carried her back to the bed. As he carried her though Ruby shouted at him telling him to let her go, calling him a monster and other mean things. Jaune got a little pissed off at that but bit back his anger till Ruby screamed she wouldn't be his dinner. Jaune just threw her onto the bad in his frustration as he glared at her.
"For crying out loud will you shut up, I am not going to eat you!"
Jaune shouted as Ruby flinched and tried to hide herself in the sheets only for Jaune to reach out causing her to close her eyes in fear. She expected to feel pain only to feel as the sheets around her slowly began to loosen as she opened her eyes to see e just staring bitterly at the sheets around her as he wrapped her. Ruby just stared as Jaune turned away from her glaring out the window of the room as he looked out over the ocean of blood.
"Why the hell would I eat you, I mean what type of monster do you think I am, just because I am the demon king doesn't mean I really am a monster."
Jaune said as he tilts his head to the side looking at Ruby who just stared surprised by what she was hearing. But what surprised her the most was the hurt look Jaune had at the prospect of being a monster as she just sat staring at Jaune as he walked back over to the chair he had been sitting in when she woke up.
"Alright princess, do you got a name I can call you?"
Jaune asked as Ruby nodded as she turned towards Jaune.
"My name is Ruby Rose."
Ruby said as Jaune nodded as he sat back in his chair.
"Well Ruby, you might be wondering what is going on so bear with me as I explain."
Jaune said as he went about explaining the situation to Ruby. As Jaune explained Ruby had asked if he wanted to bring back the millennia of darkness but he quickly explained to her that he had no desire to start a war with the humans again. Ruby listened intently as Jaune explained why she was kidnapped as well and apologized for the trouble he has caused her.
"I really am sorry; I will help get you back home as soon as I can."
Jaune said as he stood up ready to leave the room only to stop as Ruby reached out grabbing his coat sleeve stopping him.
"Well before I leave could you show me around?"
Ruby asked as Jaune just turned away looking up in thought before shrugging.
"Sure why not, I guess the best place to go would be the gardens first."
Jaune said as he reached a hand out letting Ruby take it as he helped her stand up as he began to lead her through the castle. Jaune was surprised at how easy it was to talk to her as he explained what each part of the castle was for as he showed her around. It was interesting to Jaune to watch as Ruby stopped at every room that caught her eye even stopping when she passed by some dark elf maids who were cleaning. Jaune chuckled when Ruby told them to keep up the good work as they just smiled at her before seeing Jaune and bowing as they went back to work. Jaune found Ruby's question funny at times as they walked around some of the rooms as they passed by a large gallery full of weapons in display cases and paintings of warriors.
"Hey Jaune what are these weapons all doing in here like this?"
Ruby asked as Jaune smiled as he looked over the room.
"Many of these weapons were used by several of the demon commanders who served under my family that helped end the millennia of darkness."
Jaune said as Ruby just nodded quickly running around the room looking at all the weapons before coming back to Jaune ready to move on to a different room.
"So your family is the one that brought an end to the millennia of darkness?'"
Ruby asked as Jaune nodded and went to explain that his great-great-great-great grandfather was the one who took the throne at the end of the millennia of darkness and brought an end to the human and demon war. Ruby nodded as she followed after Jaune and he continued to lead her towards the garden. As Ruby and Jaune walked through the castle Ruby couldn't help but stare at Jaune from time to time surprised by how he was. Form all the story's and rumors that she had heard all telling her how monstrous the white demon king was. It was funny because all the rumors were wrong seeing as Jaune was super kind and had a glow to him that made Ruby calm. She just smiled at the thought as they continued their walk around the castle Jaune finally got Ruby to the garden where she was awestruck to see that it was nothing like the other places of the castle.
Seeing as inside the garden it was almost like the human world with a bright sun glowing down on the flowers so they could grow while a giant blood oak stood in the center of the garden. Ruby just looked around in amazement as she turned back to see Jaune standing in a bed of flowers and he slowly bent down to pick up a rose. Ruby just stared at Jaune awestruck at the smiled he had as he looked at the rose before he turned back to her with a small smile.
"You see my great-great grandfather had an extreme fascination with flowers from the human world. So he collected as many flowers as he could and turned this room into a garden where he would come to get a taste of the human world. I have the same fascination so this is my favorite place in the castle."
Jaune said as he walked up too Ruby as she watched him remove all the thorns from the roses stem as he then put it in her hair above her ear. Ruby just blushed at this as Jaune turned around missing her crimson cheeks as he began to walk away.
"You can stay in here till a carriage is prepared for you so we can take you home."
Jaune said waving at Ruby as he left the garden. Ruby didn't say anything as she just turned and looked over the garden amazed by how beautiful it was as she walked over to the blood oak and sat down under it leaning back against it. 'This place is amazing; I mean while everything outside is super scary I can't believe a place like this even exists in the demon world.' Ruby thought as she stared at all the beautiful flowers with a small smile as she sat back. 'I would love for Yang to see this place; I mean it's amazing. I hope she isn't too worried about me.' Ruby thought as she looked over the garden again.

Yang paced back and forth outside the Rose throne room as she waited to hear what Ruby's mother Summer was going to do. As Yang paced she couldn't help but beat herself up inside as she thought about what had happened to Ruby. The truth was that Yang was Ruby's half-sister, only Ruby's mother couldn't say she was her daughter seeing as Yang's dad was a knight who had a child with another woman before he met Ruby's mom. So when Yang's dad married Summer he had asked her if she could let Yang join the castle guard and train to be Ruby's personal guard, she did a great job with that. Yang cursed to herself seeing as just earlier before Ruby had been kidnapped Yang had joked about her being kidnapped by the demon king and in the end she was really kidnapped. 'Damn it, how did this happen!?' Yang thought angrily as she bit her thumb nail as she continued to pace. As she paced the doors to the throne room slowly opened as Yang quickly moved to the side of the door as she stood at attention as she watched several men and women quickly leaving the hall as they had grim looks. The expressions the people had worried Yang just as she watched an older blonde man walk out of the hall turning to her.
"Yang come on inside, Summer has something she needs to tell you."
The blonde man said as Yang nodded and quickly walked into the throne room. As she entered she was met with the sight of the current ruler of the Rose family, Summer Rose, who sat blood shot eyes. Summer was almost identical to Ruby in appearance save for her softly aged features and her white dress that had red rose pedals like design running up its sides. Yang couldn't help the pain she felt at the sight as she quickly ran over to Summer.
"Dad said you had something to tell me."
Yang said as Summer looked up to her quickly rubbing her eyes as she looked to Yang.
"Yes I need to tell you that we won't be able to send the cities army out to save Ruby."
Summer said as Yang had to do a double take as she stared in shock at Summer before turning to the blonde man she called dad.
"Is this true dad!?"
Yang asked shocked as the man just nodded solemnly as Summer spoke up.
"Tai Yang and I tried our best to convince the other lords to help but they all turned us down saying they didn't want to risk starting another war with the demons."
Summer said sadly as Yang just balled her hands into fists as her hair lit on fire.
"Damn those old bastards!" Yang shouted at the ceiling as Summer and Tai Yang just turned looking to the ground sadly. "Fine than if those old farts won't do anything then I will go and save Ruby myself!"
Yang shouted as Summer and Tai looked to her in shock.
"You can't be serious Yang!"
Tai shouted as Yang just shot him a glare freezing him up as he turned away.
"Yang, Tai is right you can't go on your own, and how would you even get to the demon realm the closest portal is a four days journey away and it is guarded by the Blood demon lord. There is no way you can get through the portal to the demon realm alone!"
Summer said staring at Yang as if she was insane.
"That isn't true, the goblins that kidnapped Ruby said they have a portal that is just a few hours away from the castle that they used to get here, and if I take that portal I could easily enter the demon realm without trouble."
Yang said as Summer and Tai shared a worried look as they thought over the idea. It worried both of them but if what Yang was saying is true then she would be able to save Ruby from the white demon.
"Yang are you sure about this?"
Tai asked as Summer stared at him shocked.
"Tai you can't be serious if Yang goes and dies then we will lose two daughters!"
Summer shouted at Tai shocked that he would even think about letting Yang go. Summer was about to continue yelling at Tai only for Yang to put a hand on her shoulder stopping her.
"Don't worry Summer." Yang said calming t down. "You are my mom but you know that if you can't legitimately call me your daughter, so I will definitely bring back Ruby for you."
Yang said as Summer just held back her tears as she nodded. Tai gave Yang a hug as she turned and prepared to leave. Yang quickly ran out the throne room running all the way back to her room where she grabbed a bag that she put some rations in while she also went and grabbed some golden metal bracelets that she quickly put on as she then ran down to the cells were the two goblins she caught were being held. She quickly ran in taking the keys form a sleeping guard as she came to the goblins cell opening it. Inside the two goblins were hanging from the ceiling by two shackles wrapped around them keeping them off the ground. The goblins turned to Yang and their eyes widened in fear as Yang went up and grabbed their chairs that they hung from dropping them to the floor.
"Listen up you stupid little green freaks!" Yang growled at the goblins as she glared at them. "You are going to take me to that portal that you got here through and then lead me to the demon kings castle to save my sister!"
Yang growled out as the goblins quickly shook their heads in protest.
"We can't, our lord will not let us have the chocolate if we lead you to his castle!"
The goblins shouted causing Yang to smile deviously as she reached into her duffle back and pulled out a bar of chocolate. The moment the goblins saw the chocolate they began to drool as they tried to take it only for Yang to hold it above their heads.
"Uh-uh, you will only get the chocolate if you lead me to the white demon kings castle."
Yang said as the goblins nodded.
"We will lead you to the castle, we promise just please give us the chocolate!"
The goblins begged as Yang just smiled at them.
"Good now let's get to that portal."
Yang said as she let the goblins lead the way. Sadly, after Yang had gotten the goblins out of the city and let them take her to the portal she began to regret the decision as she found herself crawling on all fours in a tiny little cave that the goblins led her down.
"Damn it, no wonder no one knew about this portal it's so tiny in this stupid cave!"
Yang complained as she continued to crawl down the cave behind the goblins still chained up. 'I just hope the demon king hasn't kidnapped any other princess, like he did Ruby.' Yang thought as she continued to crawl.

Jaune walked into the garden to see Ruby sitting underneath the blood oak with some flowers in her hands that she had collected. Jaune smiled at that as he let out a sigh and walked over to Ruby.
"Hey Ruby the carriage to take you home has been prepared so if you want you can go home now."
Jaune said as he walked up to Ruby who just smiled.
"Really? Thank you Jaune." Ruby said standing up. "To tell you the truth I don't really want to leave yet, I mean this garden is so amazing it almost makes me never want to leave."
Ruby said as Jaune just laughed as he patted her on the shoulder.
"Well sorry to break it to you but you will have to leave, I rather not have your family worry."
Jaune said as Ruby nodded at Jaune as he began to lead her out of the castle. They got to the main entrance of the castle when a group of goblins came running up to them with a giant bag that was identical to the one Ruby was brought in. Jaune just paled at the sight of this as he turned to Ruby who stared confused as the goblins set the bag down before Jaune.
"Jaune what are they doing?"
Ruby asked as she watched the goblins all stick their hands out waiting to be given something. The closest one to Ruby stuck its hand out to her and she just stared confused as she gave it a flower. She watched as the goblin smelled the flower and then ate it only to spit it out. Ruby just stared confused at the goblins as she slowly hid behind Jaune.
"Get out all of you!"
Jaune shouted at the goblins causing them to flinch in fear as they ran away as Jaune knelt down. Ruby did the same right beside him.
"What's in the bag?"
Ruby asked as Jaune just sighed.
"Let's hope it's not another princess."
Jaune said as ruby just chuckled nervously as Jaune opened the bag for them to see a Princess with white hair unconscious in the bag. Ruby's eyes just widened as she stared in shock as Jaune let out a groan in frustration as Ozpin walked into up to Jaune to see what was going on. As Ozpin walked in he was surprised to see the sight of a new princess laid out before Jaune.
"Well would you look at that, the goblins actually caught a second princess. I guess they really do deserve some chocolate for pulling off the impossible."
Ozpin said as Jaune just groaned again as he shot to his feet pointing an angry finger at Ozpin ready to bite his head off only for an explosion to ring out as the doors to the castle exploded. Ozpin cast a spell quickly shielding the four of them as Ozpin and Jaune stared at the exploded doors as they watched a blonde girl come walking in with flaming hair and burning read eyes. Jaune, Ruby and Ozpin just stared shocked at the sight of the blonde.
"Yang!"
Ruby shouted as Jaune and Ozpin turned to her surprised before turning to Yang whose eyes quickly fell onto Ruby and the unconscious white princess before them. Yang just grit her teeth as the fire in her hair blazed as her eyes burned even brighter.
"So you didn't only kidnap Ruby but you kidnapped another princess as well." Yang said her voice soft but loud enough for Jaune, Ozpin and Ruby to hear her. "Well then if you think I will let you use Ruby or sleeping beauty over there for whatever demonic rituals you have in mind then you are dead wrong!"
Yang shouted out as she cast a spell as a flaming heart appeared over two golden bracelets on either of her wrists as they shifted extending into gauntlets as Yang took up a boxing stance as she glared death down onto Jaune.
"I will free my sister from you! Demon king!"
Yang shouted as she cast another spell around her body as she charged forward towards Jaune.
