Woes of a demon king
AN/ yep I am still writing, sorry for the delay.
Chapter 5 I am not old but I am too old for this.
Jaune walked down the halls of his castle back towards his room after dealing with Weiss and Blake as he grumbled about how stupid they were acting. 'Bringing up such stupid matters of the past.' Jaune thought tiredly as he turned down the hall to get to his room only to stop as he saw Ozpin standing before him.
"Is something wrong Ozpin?"
Jaune asked as his adviser just shrugged.
"I don't know, you tell me, judging from your actions just now with the princesses you seem to be troubled."
Ozpin said as Jaune just shrugged.
"I am just tired is all, this week has been difficult with all the princesses showing up, then Yang and now I have those two girls arguing over stupid past events!"
Jaune said bitterly as he put his hands on his hips as he kicked dust up off the ground.
"Did that warrant you threatening the princesses?"
Ozpin asked as Jaune just raised a brow at Ozpin as he took a deep breath.
"I have had three kidnapped princesses dropped at my feet and a royal guard of one of the princesses showing up and starting a fight out of nowhere, so forgive me if I am on edge!"
Jaune growled as Ozpin just sighed as he walked up to Jaune clapping him on the shoulder.
"You need to think before act, what you did..."
Ozpin began only for Jaune to interrupt him.
"What I did was stupid, I know, I could have caused more problems for us with my actions." Jaune said as Ozpin nodded at him as he ran a hand through his hair. "I will try to clear things up with the princesses after I calm down, for now just keep an eye on them for me?"
Jaune ordered as Ozpin nodded at him and went off to watch over the princesses. Jaune just took a deep breath as he walked on into his room as he went to end his day hopping nothing else happened. 'I am not old but I am too old for this.' Jaune thought as he walked towards his bed falling on it with a thump.

In the Schnee castle Winter stood in the castles study staring in shock at the note that had been delivered to her as she grits her teeth. 'This can't be right!' Winter thought in shock as she read the note repeatedly. She couldn't believe what she was reading, it didn't seem possible but at the same time it was so much like Weiss. The note told of how Weiss was safe, but also told how Weiss wasn't coming home so she could get out of her arranged marriage. Only Winter couldn't believe it as she tried to think of other reasons why Weiss would stay with the Demon King, thinking that maybe the Demon King had brainwashed her with some sort of magic. Winter cursed as she folded the note up as she tucked it into her coat as a knock came through the door to the study.
"Excuse me Winter, Prince Vasilias is here."
Klein's voice came through the door as Winter took a deep breath composing herself.
"Let him in Klein." Winter called as she waited for the prince to walk in. As she did she was met with the sight of a young man with short blue hair combed off to the side as the left side of his head was buzz cut short. The boy was dressed in a red coat with a white dress shirt underneath and black pants. "Good evening Prince Neptune, I am glad you came on such notice."
Winter greeted as she nodded at the young man as he nodded back.
"Yes, well your message seemed urgent, does this visit have anything to do with Weiss?"
Neptune asked as Winter winced slightly.
"I take it you have heard the rumors?"
Winter said as Neptune nodded as he looked around at the study.
"I heard the rumors but I didn't know if they were even true but I guess they were."
Neptune said as he looked back to Winter as he walked towards one of the bookshelves sliding his hand over it as he did.
"Yes, it seems Weiss had been kidnapped but it seems she is in the Demon King's clutches." Winter said as Neptune discreetly gulped as he pulled on the collar of his shirt. "I know how this may sound but I want my sister back as soon as possible and I wish to keep my father from hearing of this event. So, I ask of you could you go and save Weiss?"
Winter requested as she bowed begging as Neptune just stared at her shocked and horrified as his eyes widened in shock. He opened his mouth impersonating a fish as he did unable to talk only for a voice to came from behind him.
"You got it princess, me and Neptune will save your sister!"
A blonde haired shirtless man who had bandages around his waist with faded blue pants and red bracers walked in. Hanging from the back of his waist was red and gold nun chucks and a monkey tail. Neptune just stared in shock at his blonde friend as he smiled at him.
"Oh, by the way my name is Sun, I'm Neptune's personal guard so don't you worry I will be with him as we lead the charge to save Princess Weiss!"
Sun shouted the last part pumping his fist into the air as Winter just stared at him in amazement before turning to Neptune hopefully.
"Will you do this?"
Winter asked as Neptune just gulped as he waved his hands around confused.
"Wait what about you and your army contacts, can't you do this yourself, I mean why ask me to do this when you obviously have more power and military control then me?"
Neptune asked as Sun just clapped him on the shoulders pulling him in to his side waving a hand before him.
"Simple Neptune come on you know the Schnee family can't act if they started mobilizing their forces to attack the Demon King, they'll just bring back the millennia of darkness and we can't have that." Sun reasoned as Winter nodded while Neptune just stared slack jawed as Sun pulled him close pushing his face against Neptune's. "Also imagine the stories that would be told of you and me if we save Princess Weiss from the Demon King single handedly."
Sun whispered the last part as the look of realization dawned on his face. Winter just stared at them for a few seconds that then turned into a minute as Neptune turned staring down at Winter determinedly.
"We shall save you sister whatever the cost."
Neptune declared smacking a fist into his chest as he stood tall squaring his shoulders as he smiled proudly. Winter just nodded at them smiling.
"Thank you prince Neptune I truly can't thank you enough for this."
Winter said as she bowed at Neptune and Sun bowed at her and quickly left the room saying they would save Weiss. The two of them walked out of castle towards a carriage where Sun and Neptune walked in quickly.
"Alright so we will head back to the mansion and get my armor and trident and then we shall make our way to the demon realm and save Weiss."
Neptune said voice full of determination only for a look of realization to dawn on him which then devolved into horror.
"Wait, Sun we have a problem."
Neptune said as his friend looked at him raising a brow in confusion.
"What's the problem?"
Sun asked as Neptune just lowered himself in his seat, putting both his hands on his head as he stared down in shock.
"I ah, well I don't have any real combat experience."
Neptune admitted as Sun just laughed as he clapped him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry dude, neither do I!"
Sun cheered as Neptune just stared at him slack jawed as his head fell into his hands as he whimpered. Neptune just fell in shock as he knew that he couldn't go back on his word after telling Winter Schnee that he and Sun would save her sister, his fiancé. 'Oh god all I was thinking about was how cool it would be if I became a hero but I never thought about the risks.' Neptune thought in horror as Sun just pat him on the back reassuringly.

Within the Belladonna castle a man with brown and red hair with bull horns sticking up in the hair was moving down the halls. The man was dressed in a black coat with a wilting rose symbol on his back. He had on black pants a with black plated medal leggings that covered his dress shoes. On the man's hip was a long katana with a dark red grip. Over his face he had a white bone like mask with red markings over it as the mask covered his eyes. The man quickly walked down the halls of the castle towards the study where several servants stood all talking worriedly.
"What happened!?"
The man shouted as he came up to the servants as they all stepped back in fear of the man as he glared at them. A Butler was pushed forward as he stared back in shock at the other servants but quickly patted his shirt down as he looked back to the man.
"Sir Adam, please calm down for a minute so I can... AAAAAH!"
The Butler began only for Adam to grab him by his collar lifting him into the air glaring at him through his mask his lips shifted into a snarl.
"Don't tell me to calm down, just tell me what happened!"
Adam growled out as he held the man up as he kicked slightly trying get out of Adam's grip before just giving up as he did as he was told.
"Blake has been missing for over a day and one night, we have done everything we can to find her but a rumor has spread through the city. It seems that people have been hearing about Princesses that have been kidnapped by the Demon King!"
The Butler said straining to keep himself up so his shirt didn't rip while doing his best not to resist Adam. Adam just growled as he dropped the Butler turning to look over the study at just the giant assortment of books on shelves and on the floor. The room was a mess so Adam couldn't tell if someone had been through the room. 'Damn it Blake, you just had to leave this room a mess.' Adam thought as he balled his hands into fists as he turned around and stormed out quickly moving through the castle a Butler following behind him.
"Wait, Sir where are you going?!"
The Butler called as Adam continued to storm out of the castle.
"The rumors say that the Demon King is kidnapping people then I will take this matter to him myself!"
Adam growled out as the Butler's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Adams back. The man could say nothing as Adam left climbing onto a horse and rode off.

Tai yang read through the note letting out a relieved sigh as he turned smiling to Summer.
"The girls are ok; it seems that everything that happened was meant to." Tai said as Summer brightened letting out a relieved breath. Although Tai had to admit the part about the Demon King being a handsome young man made him angry and want to kill him but he held that back in favor of telling his wife what the note said. "Yang seemed to have gotten herself a little banged up but they are both ok. It says they should be back in a few days when Yang is ready to travel again but Ruby is going to send a note every day. Seems this note has a spell on it to allow for Ruby to communicate back and forth with us without having to send one out and wait."
Tai said as Summer just stood up and ran up taking the note as she looked it over.
"This is great, I'm going to message Ruby right away, I want to make talk with her for a little."
Summer said quickly as she yanked the note out of Tai's hand as she ran towards a table with a pen to write back to Ruby.
"Easy Summer, no reason to be in such a rush we will talk with her again soon and she is going to message every morning till she gets back." Tai said as Summer quickly turned around to glare at him as he just held his hands up. "Right never mind message away."
Tai said as he quickly backed away from his wife as she began to write in the note quickly.

Yang sat leaning back against her bed rest as she set a book down on the bedside table.
"Night Ruby."
Yang said patting her on the head as a light flashed beside her on the bedside table where she put the book. 'What the heck.' Yang thought in confusion as she lifted the book up to see the piece of paper Jaune had left them saying it would let them contact their family. Yang had been skeptical before but as she lifted the note up looking it over she saw that a message was written on it now when it had been blank just moments before. Yang stared in surprise as she saw Summer's handwriting. 'Wow I guess Jaune really does care what happens to us.' Yang thought as she read the note.
"Ruby, if you get this I am so glad to hear you and Yang are ok, also if you could tell me what happened with Yang that would be nice. I just can't help but worry that she might have been hurt even just a little I mean the note even says that she was beat up so please tell me what happened.
Love Mom also why did you put in your note that the Demon King is a handsome blonde?"
Yang had to giggle at that as she turned to look at Ruby. 'So you got a crush on the Demon King do you?' Yang thought as she pats her sister's head. 'Yeah I won't let that become anything more.' Yang thought as she knew that if Jaune even tried to get any closer to Ruby she would break his balls. Yang just reached over grabbing a fountain pen that was left for them as she used the book she had been reading to as a brace as she wrote back. It didn't take her long as she wrote the note as it glowed for a second and the message was sent. It read.
"Don't worry mom I am ok, just a few bruises from trying to start a fight with the Demon King. Ruby is sleeping right now, so she can't get to the note now. Also, don't worry the ever handsome 'Demon King' Jaune Arc isn't getting near Ruby while I am around so no need to worry about that.
Love Yang, also Ruby sends her love as she sleeps."
Yang waited a little bit for her mother to write back as she took her pen and began to write on Ruby's face. As she waited she drew a circle around Ruby's right eye making a daisy around her eye as she also put a triangle under her left eye while putting question mark on her forehead. Yang smiled at the drawings before licking her thumb and went to wipe off the ink only for it to stay. She tried again only for nothing to happen as she stared in shock. 'Oh god don't tell me it won't come off.' Yang thought in shock as she grabbed her blanket getting the end wet as she began to rub it against Ruby's forehead. She tried to be as calm as she could till nothing happened as she began to rub harder as she groaned in frustration. She was about to continue when the note glowed again. She looked at Ruby and sighed as she looked to the note picking it up to see what it said.
"I am glad to hear you are ok Yang, thank you for letting us know about what is happening. Also, quick question what does this 'Demon King' Jaune Arc looks like, Ruby said he was blonde what else can you tell me I really want to know.
Love Mom."
Yang smiled at the note before looking back down to Ruby worriedly as she looked at all the ink on her face now.
"Sorry Ruby."
Yang apologized to her sister a small smile on her lips as she went on to continue writing to her mother. 'I guess I could spend the night talking with mom.' Yang thought happily as she continued to write.

Jaune walked into the dining room the next morning yawning as she stretched his arms over his head as he walked into the dining room where he saw Blake sitting at the table reading a book. Her cat ears flicked as she turned to looked at him as she heard him enter. She quickly got to her feet dusting her dress off as she walked over to him keeping her eyes down. Jaune just took a deep breath as he waited to see what Blake did. He knew he had threatened her so he prepared himself for her to lash out at him for what he did the previous night. He waited to see if she threatened war for his actions as she walked up to him finally looking into his eyes.
"Good morning Jaune." Blake said as Jaune nodded back to her as she took a breath. "I want to apologize for yesterday."
Blake said as Jaune raised a brow at her questionably.
"Wait you're apologizing, that should be me not you?"
Jaune said confused by her words as she raised a hand stopping him from talking.
"Wait, let me continue. See your adviser Ozpin told me why you lashed out yesterday, he told me that you were overwhelmed with everything that happened with all the princesses so when Weiss and I started fighting just put you over the edge. I should never have allowed my emotions to get out of control like I did especially when you were kind enough to let me stay the night and use your library."
Blake said as Jaune just took a deep breath as he looked down not sure what to say before looking back up to Blake.
"I am sorry as well, I never should have snapped like I did, if you have anything you want to ask for something please do I will do my best to get it for you."
Jaune said as Blake just smiled at him clapping him on the shoulder as she turned around.
"Let me stay a little longer to look through your library and we have a deal."
Blake said walking back to the table as Jaune just rolled his eyes at her as he shook his head.
"Fine, I don't want you to stay but I will allow it, but please don't stay long?"
Jaune begged as Blake just smiled as he food was brought to her as she went on to have her breakfast. As the they ate Jaune asked for his meal as he waited Weiss, Ruby and Yang all walked in one after the other. Weiss was the last person to enter but when she did she stood by the door and waved for Jaune to come over as he nodded and stood up following her into the hall.
"If this is about last night I want to apologize to you for my outburst yesterday."
Jaune said as Weiss nodded at him crossing her arms over her chest.
"Good you should apologize." Wiess said snobboly as Jaune just raised a brow at her having expected the same reaction Blake gave him. He just crossed his arms over his chest as he opened his mouth to say something only for her to raise a hand stopping him. "But I was in the wrong as well, I am a princess I should be formal and in control so when I let myself shout at Blake I was wrong. So, I apologize for my outburst then I already apologized to Blake, also I want to make up for my outburst seeing as you are letting me stay. I truly hope I get to stay, your adviser told me that you were thinking of kicking me out for my behavior, I really do wish you change your mind on kicking me out."
Weiss said as Jaune just raised a brow at her. 'So Ozpin told her I would kick her out, he is a sly bastard. He is great at manipulating people to do what he wants.' Jaune thought as he smiled at Weiss.
"I will think about letting you stay but that is only if you can keep yourself in check."
Jaune said as he turned away leaving Weiss be as he walked back into the dining hall as he saw his breakfast be set down for him.
"I will make sure I don't have another outburst like last night."
Weiss said walking over to her own seat at the table. Jaune walked over to his bed seat just as Ozpin took his place behind him leaning down to whispering in his ear.
"I do hope everything between Princess Weiss and Blake are all ok now?"
Ozpin asked as Jaune just ate his meal.
"Yes it has, but next time you go behind my back like you did when you told them about why I snapped or even the lie you told Weiss I will make sure you are cleaning the goblin pits."
Jaune threatened as Ozpin's lips just curled slightly.
"Oh, really I will remember that next time you are studying history."
Ozpin said as Jaune just groaned realizing the mistake he made threatening his adviser. 'Damn it he really is a pain.' Jaune thought as he looked over the princesses and Yang as they all had their breakfast while Ruby and Yang tried to talk with Weiss and Blake to learn about them so seeming to try and make friends. 'At least no more princesses' have been kidnapped.' Jaune thought happily as he was ready for his day.
End
AN/ Hurray I have finally gotten this chapter to you readers, sorry about that but I was stupid and didn't prioritize properly when it came to my writing but do not worry this story is not dead it is very alive and waiting for you people to love it. Seems a lot already do. Also to let those people who questions Jaune outburst at the end of the last chapter I hope I cleared that up for you all with this one, I mean really is it so surprising that Jaune exploded like he did when he was in such a stressful situation I mean if you had to deal with a bunch of kidnapped people being dropped at your feet in the time span of 3 days you would explode as well really tell me you wouldn't.
Now please leave me a review I really want to know what you people think about this story because I love to pick your brains and eat what knowledge there is. Yes I eat brains sue me.
Also fav and follow if you wish.
