King Scarlemagne and Princess Kipo

Summary:

Hugo had wanted to destroy the baby, to make Lio experience the same rage and grief he was experiencing. But as he stared at Kipo’s cheerful face, he found he couldn’t do it.

Lio would just abandon Kipo when he got tired of his latest experiment, Hugo decided. As a loving elder brother, it was Hugo’s duty to raise his sister.

 

In which Hugo Scarlemagne raises Kipo, and with a mega jaguar by his side, the world has more reason to fear him than ever.

Chapter Text

Lio hadn’t wanted to flinch away. He really hadn’t. But when Hugo lunged at Kipo, all he could see was a crazed, blood-thirsty animal. In his memory, the lion that had bit off Dr Eska’s hand in the labs had the same expression on its face.

 

“No, you can’t hold her, ” Lio heard himself say, before his brain caught up and yelled that Hugo was his son, not some caged animal. He had just treated Hugo like Emilia did. He had just treated Hugo like Emilia did! His eyes widening, he opened his mouth to apologize.

 

But the damage was already done.

 

Hugo snarled, flicking his arm at Lio’s face. He wouldn’t—he wouldn’t— Lio’s vision blackened.

 


 

When Lio woke up, he was alone. His son and daughter were gone.

 

What have I done?

Notes:

I was going to merge chapter 1 and 2, but it looked really weird. I promise future chapters won't be so short. Please stick around; the next chapter will be out in a day or two.
