The woes of a demon king

AN/Hurray new chapter

Chapter 4 What is wrong with you!?

Jaune sat in his throne as he tapped his fingers along the arm of it as he waited for Ozpin to come back in after taking care of the new princess. Jaune didn't wait too long as he heard footsteps coming from the hall as Ozpin walked into the throne room.

"Is the princess ok?"

Jaune asked as Ozpin nodded as he walked over to him.

"It seems this time the goblins had drugged our new found Princess with an extremely strong dose of cat nip."

Ozpin said as Jaune just raised a brow at her as his mouth hung open slightly in shock.

"Wait cat nip, are kidding me?"

Jaune said as he rubbed a hand over his face in frustration as Ozpin just chuckled.

"I am just as surprised as you are, but that means when she wakes up she may be loopy so it would be best to keep waiting till she is more lucid."

Ozpin said as Jaune just fell back in his throne groaning in frustration.

"Please tell me you are joking?" Ozpin shook his head, a small smile on his lips as Jaune just let his head fall into his hands whimpering ever so slightly. "Why me?"

Jaune asked as Ozpin just shrugged as he turned away as he looked down the hall.

"I will go and keep an eye on the new princess. So do get some rest, tomorrow we can clear things up when the princess wakes and you can send home the others."

Ozpin said as Jaune nodded as he stood up and began to walk away only to stop as he turned back to Ozpin.

"I want you keep this mess under wraps. If any of the demon lords hear of this they may come to tell us to use them for a summoning ritual."

Jaune said as Ozpin nodded.

"Understood I will make sure this information gets out."

Ozpin said as he bowed to Jaune and left as Jaune went off back to his room to end his day.

Jaune woke to the sound of someone knocking on his door as he got out of bed, slowly yawning as he stretched and walked over to the door of his room. When Jaune opened the door her was met with the sight of a maid.

"Good morning master, it seems that one of your guests is requesting your presence."

The maid said as Jaune nodded as the maid bowed and left. Jaune walked back into his room and got dressed Quickly as he walked out into the hall moving down to the corridor where he left all the princess in. Jaune turned down into the hall to see Ruby standing outside her sister's room.

"Morning Ruby."

Jaune said as he walked up. Ruby turned to him and smiled as she waved.

"Morning Jaune." Ruby said as she quickly ran up to him. "So I explained to Yang the situation last night when she woke up but she said she wanted to talk to you."

Ruby said a little worriedly as Jaune nodded at her as he pointed at Yang's door.

"She awake right now?"

Jaune asked as Ruby nodded.

"Alright, just stay outside the door just in case she tries to… you know kill me."

Jaune said as Ruby just chuckled as she pat him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry Jaune, Yang won't do anything, she only wants to apologize is all."

Ruby said as Jaune nodded at her as he turned and took a deep breath as he knocked on the door of the room as he heard Yang call him in. He opened the door to see Yang sat up on her bed her hands holding her bed sheets playing with it as she looked at Jaune as he walked in.

"I heard you wanted to talk with me, so what do you want to talk about?"

Jaune asked as Yang just played with sheets.

"Can you close the door?"

Yang asked as Jaune raised a brow at her but did as she requested as he quickly mouthed help me to Ruby who just giggled at him as she waved him off. He closed the door as he turned back to Yang who took a deep breath.

"Ok, so Ruby explained everything to me." Yang said as she played with the sheets some more before sighing. "Look Ruby said I should apologize to you for attacking you before I knew what was happening, so I am sorry."

Yang said as she turned away from him as Jaune just sighed as crossed his hand over his chest.

"I could ask for more, but I guess that will do, I did beat you pretty bad so you shouldn't be the one apologizing. So I am sorry for last night."

Jaune said as he bowed to her as she turned back to him surprised as she just stuttered some as she waved her hands before her.

"Whoa, hey don't apologize to me, you didn't do anything wrong, I am the one at fault so please raise your head." Yang said as Jaune raised his head looking to Yang. "Look I attacked you, all you were doing was defending yourself so I was in the wrong."

Yang said quickly as Jaune nodded.

"Alright if you say so, for now though I will see to it that you are comfortable here till you are ready to leave."

Jaune said as Yang nodded. He turned to leave to room as Yang waved him off. Jaune walked into the hall to see Ruby standing next to the door waiting to go in.

"How did it go?"

Ruby asked as Jaune just shrugged as he waved her into the room.

"It went pretty good. She apologized, I apologized, no problem what so ever. Make sure you come and get me when you and your sister are ready to leave."

Jaune said as Ruby nodded as she walked into the room to talk with Yang. Jaune closed the door as the girls went on to talk as Jaune turned to walk down the hall. Jaune walked down the hall past a few maids working till one maid came out of the Faunus princess room stopping as she saw Jaune.

"Oh Master, Ozpin had told me to tell you when the princess woke up." The maid as Jaune nodded. "I would have collected you last night when she first woke up but she happened to be very out of it due to what the goblins had given her."

The maid said as Jaune nodded.

"That is good, does that mean she is more lucid then last night, if so can I speak with her?"

Jaune asked as the maid nodded.

"She is confused but I told her that you would explain the situation."

The maid as Jaune smiled at her.

"That is good to hear, thank you."

Jaune said as the maid bowed as he walked into the room. Jaune was met with the sight of the princess sat on the edge of her bed looking around the room curiously.

"Good day, my name is Jaune Arc. May I ask your name?"

Jaune said as he walked in as the princess turned to him surprised as she turned to him quickly.

"Oh, hello my name is Blake Belladonna, princess to the Belladonna royal family of Menagerie."

Blake said as she stood up and bowed formally to Jaune. He did the same to her before waving her to a chair next to the bed. Blake sat down as did Jaune the same in front of her.

"Alright, I was told you can explain what is going on."

Blake said as Jaune nodded. He went on slowly to tell her the situation and what had happened to her. He was surprised that she didn't freak out or question he was the demon king as he explained who he was.

"Due to what happened I am sorry for causing you so much trouble."

Jaune said as he bowed to Blake for forgiveness. Blake just nodded at him as she waved his apology off.

"Do not worry, I can understand the situation so if you want my forgiveness just provide me safe passage out of the demon realm and I will make sure that this does not come back to cause you any problems."

Blake said as Jaune nodded and stood up.

"I will have a carriage prepared for you; a maid will come to tell you when it is ready."

Jaune said as Blake nodded at him as she let him leave only to stop him.

"Before you go may I ask if you can bring me some books to read while I wait?"

Blake asked as Jaune just smiled.

"I can do you one better, do follow."

Jaune said as Blake stood up and followed him. As they walked through the castle it took them only a few minutes of silent walking for Jaune to lead Blake to a giant library. Blake stared in awe at the library as she stared up at the towering bookshelves. The library had a second floor with even more bookshelves.

"This is your library?"

Blake said in astonishment as Jaune just chuckled.

"One of my sisters has a fondness for books so my father had collected as many books as possible, over time he ended up making a library out of it. I had done the same as to keep my sister happy to always have new books when she came to the castle. I have a very large assortment of human world books as well. So I hope you have more than enough to read."

Jaune said as Blake smiled before turning back to him.

"This is more than enough thank you I will be sure to be careful with them."

Blake said as Jaune nodded and turned to leave.

Atlas was in uproar as servants ran all throughout Schnee manner. Within the throne room a white haired women dressed in a form fitting white shirt with sleeves that were cut from elbow to shoulder revealing her arms with a sleeveless coat with white pants and leg armor. The girl stood next to a throne as people came running in and out in disarray. She tapped her foot as she waited for someone to come through and spoke with her. While she waited finally a butler with a balding head with a puffy brown mustache.

"I am sorry Winter but we cannot find Weiss, we fear she has been kidnapped!"

The butler said worriedly as she panted hand on his chest. Winter cursed as she balled her hands into fists.

"How could this of happened Cline, we have guards stationed at every entrance and exit it shouldn't have been possible for her to be kidnapped!?"

Winter shouted as Cline just flinched as he lowered his head.

"Please forgive me Winter. I am sorry, we will do everything we can to figure out what is going on."

Cline said as he lowered his head more as Winter to take a deep breath.

"Cline, please calm down I am not blaming you so please raise your head. I need you to keep searching around find anything that might help us figure out what happened to Weiss."

Winter said as Cline nodded as he turned quickly ran out of the throne room leaving Winter alone as she turned and slammed her fist into the wall beside her. She cursed as she leaned her head against the wall. 'Weiss where are you?' Winter thought as she tried to understand what happened to her poor sister.

"Tell me again why you don't want to leave?"

Jaune asked as he stared at Weiss who sat at a table sipping a cup of tea lightly.

"I told you if I stay here I will no longer have to be forced into an arranged marriage by my father so I will be staying here till my father changes his mind and stops this stupid arranged marriage." Weiss said as Jaune just stared at her in shock as he impersonated a fish for a minute. "Please close your mouth; you are a king so stop acting like a child."

Weiss said as Jaune's mouth clamped shut before he glared at her.

"Listen to me you have to leave if you don't your father might really send the entire Atlas army to try and save you in a misguided belief that you were kidnapped!"

Jaune shouted as Weiss just rolled her eyes at him.

"Calm down, remember, I had sent a letter to my father telling him that I was safe, I also told him that I will be staying here till he changes his mind."

Weiss said with a small smile as Jaune just gawked at her. His eyes were as wide as dinner plates as his jaw hung on the floor.

"Are you insane?!"

Jaune shouted as Weiss flinched from his outburst.

"What is your problem, just calm down will you. It's ok this will not come back to cause you problems." Weiss said as she set down her tea as she raised a hand calling over one of the dark elf maids. "Either way what is wrong with me staying, I will not cause you any problems."

Weiss said as she asked the maid to bring her some lunch. Jaune just stared at her as the maid did as she request of her as she went off to grab her food. Jaune just stared in confusion before he groaned in frustration throwing his hands in the air in frustration.

"What is going on here?!"

Jaune shouted as he left Weiss in the room as he stormed out. Weiss just shook her head at him.

"He really needs to calm down."

Weiss said to herself as the maid came back with a tray of food.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jaune stomped his way down the hall of the castle as he walked down the hall towards Ruby's room only for a maid to stop him and point him to Yang's. Jaune thanked the maid as he walked off towards Yang's room. When he walked into Yang's room to see Ruby sitting next to Yang's bed as Yang read her a book.

"Afternoon girls."

Jaune said as Ruby smiled brightly at him while Yang just waved at him.

"Hello Jaune, do you need something from us."

Ruby asked happily as she turned to Jaune.

"Nothing really just walking around to blow off some steam."

Jaune said as he leaned back against the door frame.

"Why do you need to blow off some steam, did something happen?"

Ruby asked as Jaune just shrugged.

"Not really, I am just a little angry because the princess from yesterday, the white one, her name is Weiss Schnee." Jaune said as Ruby and Yang nodded. "You see she is saying she won't leave, she says she won't leave until her father changes his mind about some sort of arranged marriage."

Jaune said as Yang just chuckled at him as Ruby just raised a brow.

"So the rumors of the Schnee princess being snobby and stuck up where true."

Yang said with a smile while Ruby just raised her hand getting their attention.

"Wait if she is staying does that mean we can stay?"

Ruby asked as both Jaune and Yang quickly answered her.

"NO!"

The two shouted in unison as Ruby flinch and shrunk ever so slightly.

"Right I am sorry."

Ruby said lightly as she lowered her head sadly. Jaune just scratched the back of his head in frustration.

"Look I wasn't trying to be mean. It's just if you stay it would worry your family and I don't want that."

Jaune said as he sighed sitting on the floor as he crossed his legs.

"I can understand that but Yang is hurt so we can't really leave just yet."

Ruby said as Jaune nodded.

"I understand that so I will let you stay till you feel you can but you will only be able to stay till then."

Jaune said as he stood up only for the sound of footsteps echoing down the hall as Jaune turned to open the door to the room only for it to fly open smacking him in the face causing him to shout in pain as he fell onto his back. A tiny little goblin came racing in running up onto Jaune's chest as it stopped looking down at him.

"Master, the other two princesses are fighting in the throne room."

The goblin said as Jaune growled reaching up grabbing the goblin by its throat and chucked it out the room's window. Yang and Ruby just stared at Jaune who growled as he stood up.

"Jaune are you ok?"

Ruby asked as Jaune took a deep breath calming down as he turned back to Ruby.

"Yeah I'm good, just wait here while I go and figure out what the hell is going on."

Jaune said angrily as he ran out of the room to reach the throne room.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jaune came running into the throne room to see Weiss and Blake arguing in each other's face's. Jaune came in to hear the last part of Weiss' sentence.

"… I am not the person you should be blaming, it's not like I forced the Faunus to work the mines myself!"

Weiss shouted as Blake glared at her.

"That doesn't the change the fact that your family is still forcing my people to labor away in your family's mines till they die!"

Blake shouted as she reached up to try and strangle Weiss only for Jaune come up between them pushing them apart.

"Easy, easy!" Jaune shouted as he stood between the two girls as they glared at each other. "What the hell is going on here?!"

Jaune shouted as the girls continued to glare before both pointed at each other and began shouting together.

"She is a slave driving bitch who has killed more of my people then any war!"

"This stupid animal doesn't understand that she is blaming the wrong person for a crime I never committed, let alone my family!"

The girls shouted their argument at him only for their words to jumble together as he tried to understand them. This went on for a few minutes as Jaune tried to understand only to get angry as the girls shouted before he growled.

"SHUT THE HELL UP!"

Jaune shouted as both Weis and Blake flinched in shock as Jaune growled in frustration.

"Listen to me right now!" Jaune growled out as both girls just stared shocked at him. "I don't give a damn about what you two have against each other, so either you set it peacefully or I kill you two myself!"

Jaune growled as Weiss and Blake just stepped back from him worriedly as he glared at them. The two nodded as he took a deep breath to calm himself down before turning to Weiss who flinched.

"Now, tell me why you were arguing?" Jaune asked as Weiss and Blake both opened their mouths till Jaune raised a hand stopping them. "One at a time."

Jaune said as he pointed to Weiss to go.

"We were arguing because this damn animal was blaming me for something my ancestors did."

Weiss said quickly only for Blake to glared at her as she growled angrily.

"I am not an animal you bitch!"

Blake shouted at Weiss who just glared at her. Jaune growled as he crossed his arms over his chest as he tapped his foot stopping the girls as they turned to him as he glared. They watched as his eyes shifted and his hair flashed white for a second as they bother stopped talking.

"Sorry."

Both girls said quickly as Jaune turned to Blake.

"Stay calm or I will beat you senseless." Jaune growled out. "Now tell me why you started this argument."

Jaune said as he pointed to Blake who nodded.

"This slave driver refuses to admit that she and her family has murdered my people in her family's mines in Atlas!"

Blake said angrily as she pointed at Weiss who just scowled at her as she crossed her hands over her chest. Jaune quickly shot her a glare before she could began arguing with Blake again. Weiss just huffed as she turned away from him. Jaune looked to Blake and raised a brow.

"So you are telling me that you started arguing with Weiss because of her family making Faunus slaves." Jaune said as Blake nodded. Jaune turned back to Weiss. "And you let her rile you up."

Jaune said as Weiss just turned to him shocked.

"Wha!? You have got to be kidding me, she is the one who started all of this, why are you blaming me."

Weiss said as Jaune just rolled his eyes at her.

"You let the argument escalate; either way I have heard of the Schnee family using Faunus labor, back during the human-demon war the Schnee family used all of its Faunus slaves as meat shields against the demon forces." Jaune said as Weiss just chocked on her words as she stared in shock at Jaune while Blake just smiled smugly at her. "But the Faunus people were no better during the war seeing as they had killed human soldiers and used their corpse as bait to lore in the hell hounds the demon forces used."

Jaune said as it was Blake's turn to choke as both girls just stared in shock at Jaune as he sighed.

"Well what are you getting at?"

Weiss asked as she and Blake shared a look before turning to Jaune.

"What I am getting at is you two are fighting for a stupid reason, I mean both of you are just trying to start an old feud that has nothing to do with either of you. If you two wish to continue with your stupid fight be my guest, but if you did then what reason do I have not to start my own old feud."

Jaune said as the girls gulped as he glared at them.

"Wait, you don't mean…?"

Blake said as Jaune just smiled lightly.

"Yep, I will gladly kill you human's and Faunus who my kind hates so much."

Jaune said a dark smile spread across his lips as he spread his arms out before the girls taking a step to them as they both stepped back staring worriedly at him. As he stepped closer and closer to the girls they both found it harder to move as they began to freeze in place from the dark empty stare he gave them. He stopped right in front of them dropping his arms and chuckling.

"But I have no reason to, so you two have no reason to feud amongst yourselves either, let the past be the past." Jaune said as he turned away from the girl's walking away slowly. "I don't care if you forgive the other, just don't make the same mistakes as your ancestors." Jaune said looking over his shoulder at the girls sadly. "Please just let the past go."

Jaune said turning as he left the girls alone.
