Touko's POV
I knew getting to the Team Plasma castle would take a few days, but now it's gonna take forever. Why do these creeps keep following me? And how are they finding me? "Because you're flying on a gigantic legendary dragon, you idiot" I mumbled under my breath. I hate myself. I continued shouting commands to Zekrom as we swerved from side to side. Team Plasma grunts came at me from every direction on their flying types, trying to land a hit on my dragon. These idiots will never cause enough damage to bring Zekrom down. He's too powerful. "Are you guys idiots or something?" I shouted over the loud roaring of the air flowing past me.
"Surrender to Team Plasma and give up your futile attempt to capture King N if you do not wish to get hurt" someone said…from a helicopter…with guns. Yikes! How do I get myself into these situations?
"Zekrom, get us out of here. We need to find somewhere to land. I think it would be better to walk for a few days" I shouted into my partner's ear. Zekrom roared in response and tipped us so that the tip of its wing was pointing towards the ground. He started to spin, and we dove to the ground. The air started to rush around us to create a whirlwind. The wind tunnel blew all the grunts that were flying away from us, and the helicopter swerved to the side. I smirked. This was too easy. How is this the number one evil organization of Unova? Oh wait, that's right. They have N for a King. Unless, now he's a prisoner…or dead. No, I can't think like that. But I can't help it. Zekrom and I landed safely on the ground. I'm pretty sure we were somewhere near Pinwheel Forest. We didn't make it very far. I sighed. "Zekrom, return" I said as Zekrom was enveloped in a red beam of light. "This is going to take forever" I said as I started my trek to N's Castle.
N's POV
"Are you being serious?" Prescott asked.
"Truly" I said sincerely.
"Why didn't you want to marry me before? Was it because of the way I was acting? Please tell me it was" Prescott asked softly. She looked on the verge of tears. Arceus, save me. I can't tell her the truth, but I can't lie either. She just looks so sweet with those big gray eyes.
"It wasn't because of the way you were acting. I swear. It was all me. I just wasn't ready to get married, yet. Well, I am but not with you. You see before I was brought back here, I had a girlfriend. I really love her, but I can't be with her now. We're not together anymore. So I decided I'll give you a chance."
"Oh" Prescott said sadly, lowering her eyes to the ground. She raised them up again and curiosity shone in them. "Are ready to get married to me then? We can wait. I'll wait as long as you want."
"No it's alright. We'll get married. Rich people get arranged marriages all the time, right? I was prepared for this day since I was a little boy. Besides, doesn't the couple that gets married usually fall in love anyway? Maybe we'll be like that." I gave Prescott a weak smile. She smiled back. She looked more chipper now.
"I won't let you down, King N. I'll be the best wife ever. I promise" Prescott said. She jumped up and did a little twirl. Her feet carried her so that she stood by my throne. The next thing I knew, I felt her warm lips press against my left cheek. She jumped back and skipped down the stairs and out the room. My hand reached up to my cheek. It was still sore from earlier but now it felt better somehow.
"Is she allowed to do that?" I heard one of the guards say to Eve, Rosaline, and another guard.
"I don't know. Aren't you supposed to request to leave before you leave the room?" the other guard asked back to the first guard. I saw them cast glances at me, but I didn't pay attention since I was in a trance. My hand still rested against my cheek as I stared straight ahead. That girl was so confusing but wonderful. Touko, however, is another story. No one can surpass her beauty, grace, and charm. Nobody can even compare to her tomboyish ways. She is the biggest tomboy ever. I'm not the girly liking type. Touko's small girlish side is good enough for my liking. She is perfect. Prescott, Eve, and Rosaline combined could never win my heart like she has.
"I guess. Soon she'll be the queen, our majesty, her highness, N's mistress" Rosaline said so quietly that I almost didn't hear her. My heart stopped. I froze. My mistress, she would be my mistress? I didn't want that. I only wanted Touko as my mistress.
"Kin—"
"King—"
"King N?!"
"Huh? What?" I said looking towards Eve.
"We were wondering if you were alright?" one of the guards clarified.
"Oh…yeah" I said dejectedly. Rosaline put her hands on her hips and growled.
"Don't lie to us. All four of us know that you don't want to get married. We all know that you have a girlfriend that you love and care for. You don't want to be with that Prescott girl. You want to be with that one" Rosaline said loudly, pointing towards the window. Out the window and beyond towards the main part of Unova, towards Touko. I know she shouldn't yell at me like that, but I told her and Eve not to act formal and nice around me. That plan backfired.
"I know. You don't think I know that? I would die for Touko to be safe and away from harm. I would get married to someone that isn't her to keep her safe. That's why I'm doing this! I know if I don't, Ghetsis will go after her. I can't risk that!" I shouted, slamming my fists down on the armrests of the throne. All four occupants of the room jumped at my outburst.
"Don't give up on her, King N. We can all work together. We'll help you escape this place. We just want you to be happy. You have loyal followers old and new to this Team. Let us help you" Rosaline pleaded. She was so determined.
"I can't do it. I can't take the risk of Ghetsis finding out. I would rather die than see that man get any form of pleasure from watching me or Touko suffer" I cried out in desperation, tears streaming down my cheeks.
"He will never find out" Eve stated darkly. I looked up in shock. I never heard Eve use that tone of voice.
"Let's do this" the two guards said in unison. Why would they do that if I don't even know them that well? I don't deserve all of this generosity. I'm not a good guy. I don't understand. It's impossible for me to be a good guy. I easily lose my temper with people, except for my friends and Touko. I fell in love with a freaking eight year old when I am way older, and I want so many people dead. There is no possible way that I am a good person.
"Why? Why are you doing this? Why do you want to help me?" I whispered.
"Because you're a good person…N" Eve said happily. Her head tilted ever so slightly to the side and she smiled a smile so much like Touko's. Why do they have to look alike? Eve could be Touko's doppelganger.
"No I'm not" I said bluntly.
"Of course you are. You help anybody you can. You try to protect people. You're not selfish or mean. Only when you want to be, and we can all tell that you are a loving person. For Arceus's sake, you never shut up about your girlfriend. You really love her. We can't talk about something without you bringing her up" Rosaline explained.
"Really?"
"Yep" Eve said. I smiled then nodded my head.
"Let's make a plan."
The next day…
I yawned and stretched as I sat up from my bed. I opened my eyes to see two sets of eyes staring at me. I jumped and screamed. "G-Get away from me!" I shouted.
"Calm down, King N. It's only us. We wanted to thank you for our new room" Rosaline said.
"Yeah, it looks wonderful. It's so big too. We love it" Eve added on.
"Oh it's you two. I thought you were some fangirls or serial killers or something. Something murderous" I sighed out in relief.
"Fangirls? Their murderous?" Eve asked.
"Have you seen me walk through the Workers Wing? I barely make it out alive. My clothes end up in tatters; I have bruises and cuts, and nightmares for days on end. It gives me shivers just thinking about it."
"Well, I guess you are ruggedly handsome" Eve complimented. I blushed.
"I agree. I can see that your girlfriend must feel pretty lucky or at least she makes other girls envious of her" Rosaline said flashing a smile.
"Thanks" I said. It felt nice to be complimented by two girls that weren't doing to impress me…at least I don't think they were.
"So when do you want to put the plan into action?" Eve whispered.
"How about today?" I asked.
"Sure! Eve and I will stay in the surveillance room all day and tomorrow to make notes on everyone's shifts and location. You just carry on with your day normally. We'll report back to you on the day after tomorrow. That's when you step in and memorize the notes we give you. After that, we'll have to meet up again along with those two guards and figure out when to put part two into action. Got it?" Rosaline said determinedly.
"Yeah" I said. They straightened up and bowed slightly before leaving. I sighed and climbed out of bed. I walked over to the bathroom and got ready. I looked at myself in the mirror to see if I was presentable. I shifted the crown on my head before heading back to my bedroom. I was surprised to see Prescott sitting on my bed, twiddling her thumbs with a dark blush on her cheeks. She looked nervous. I scanned her up and down before realizing that she was only wearing lingerie. My breath hitched in my throat, and I stopped breathing. I tried not to make a sound, praying that she wouldn't hear me as I tried to head back into the bathroom to hide. Too bad that plan failed. Her head shot up to look me in the eye when the floor creaked beneath my feet.
"King N!" Prescott shouted in surprise. Our eyes locked. She looked at me with a confused expression. She was probably wondering why I look terrified right now. I let my eyes flicker across her body then back to her face to try to get her to understand my fear. She looked down and shrieked. On instinct, my hand flew up to cover my eyes. I turned around and stuck my free arm out in front of me, feeling around for any objects in front of me. I started to walk forward but ran right into the wall. I fell backwards and landed on my back. "King N!"
"I-I-I" I stuttered uncontrollably. "I-I."
"I am so sorry" Prescott cried out. "This wasn't my idea! I swear. It was Lord Ghetsis's. He told me to put it on and see what your reaction would be. He assumed it would have been a good one. I told him it wouldn't. But since he is my superior, I had to do what he said. I am so sorry."
"N-N-No wo-wor-worries" I said from on the floor. My hand still covered my eyes as I still lay on my back. I separated two fingers and peeked through them. Prescott was leaning over me, her hands on her thighs to support her weight.
"Do you need help?" my fiancée asked. She was currently wearing one of my shirts. It hung down to her knees. When did she put that on, and where did she get it?
"Thanks" I said shyly. She grabbed my hand and yanked me off the ground.
"No problem" Prescott said.
"Well, I better be going to the throne room" I said quickly.
"Okay."
"See you later" I said. I started to walk away but stopped when I saw a sad look on Prescott's face. I went over to her and kissed the corner of her mouth. Her face lit up with joy. I walked away, sadly smiling to myself. I made a girl happy. Why can't that make me feel better?
A/N: Sorry if you are bored with the chapters. I swear that the next one will have the plan put into action. However, there will be a large time jump. Not like a year just maybe a month or a couple weeks. Not sure yet. Please review or favorite. Flame if you like.
