Chapter Text
ParrotX2 a king from kingdom name Paragon. Some massive kingdom on unstable SMP made by him and his husband, Wifies. Their live as royalty was also full with love for each other. Honestly and Loyalty, that's what they believing in.
Of course, they have many allies too, they well known kingdom. Peace, have good economy, almost perfect. But it change when Wifies have to go on diplomatic─no, a war. He has to go, leaving ParrotX2 behind for a while. Luckly, they have Theo, as ParrotX2 bodyguard too during Wifies absence.
It.. Should be short war, because apparently Wifies winning it, against Clownpierce army. But, because of his crew stupidity, he have gone for twenty years to find back home. Meanwhile, their kingdom.. Have a bit problem.
Due how long Wifies long gone, he was considered death by many player on unstable SMP. That's why ParrotX2 must search another partner for the throne too. He doesn't want to, he still loyal to his husband. That's why, he have to trick them for three years. Saying he would choose a husband, when he finish his shourd.
And that's, where the story this time begin. From a partner that waiting for his husband to come back, while holding from the disgusting wolves that wanting the crown.
A new day, ParrotX2 waking up from his sleep. He look above, seeing the ceiling as the sun was shining from the window. He slowly getting up, sitting on the cherry blossoms wedding bed that Wifies has made for their marriage. Symbol of their love.
"... Huh.." A sigh let out from his mouth, heavy thinking. ParrotX2 look at the clear sky outside, he.. Should choose a suitor to wear the crown soon.
Then─a knock from the door. Yeah, it's time for.. Getting ready. He slow down get up from the bed, walking towards the door and open it. The servants already here, let's just called her─
"The bath already ready, your majesty. And the chef will get the breakfast ready too." She said. ParrotX2 look at her, she was.. Fymada. One of his loyal servants that working for him.
ParrotX2 smile.. Before nodding, yeah, it's time for bath. "Alright, after that please tell Theo to come, I'm sure he's still sleeping right now."
Fymada nodded. ParrotX2 walk towards his bathroom, the servants already prepare warm water for him.
After he dressed up, ParrotX2 walk towards the dining room. His breakfast already there, a roasted chicken. As he sit down, the door open again.. It's Theo this time. Theo, was his bestfriend even before this kingdom created, have deep bound too with Parrot.
"Goodmorning Theo." He said. Theo smiling like an idiot he always been, he sit across the sit and replied, "Morning to, your majesty~"
They both sit down on their sit, eating breakfast together. Don't worry, this is normal, Wifies wouldn't jealous too (hope so) meanwhile.. There something inside ParrotX2 mind. Soon, Theo must go for duty too. Not far of course. As the leader of the soldier, their kingdom will form an alliance with Prince Zam's Empire. Therefore, Theo was assigned there, as it concerns the kingdom's military strength.
"So... When are you heading off to Prince Zam Empire?" A simple question, but enough making the atmosphere a bit tense.
"Oh? Uhh, well, like tommorow. Everything, the horse and carriage already prepare. So yeah, probably heading there tommorow."
Silence. ParrotX2 look at him, that mean.. He going to face the Suitors alone. Theo notice the look, he smile softly, "Don't worry bro, i will back like─three days after that. Not to long right? Until then just keep tricking them like you always do!"
Yeah.. He could probably do that, but.. Parrot look at him, he sat down his fork and finally saying it. "I.. Can't keep tricking them. They starting to get─suspicious and- i.. Need to do this. The kingdom , the rumor, everything.."
Tired? Of course. Parrot place his hand to his face, the hint of tiredness of ruling alone for twenty years without help from anyone. Especially, since the suitor starting coming. Theo look at ParrotX2, not as a king, but as his bestfriend. He think for a while.. Before remember something.
"i have.. An idea!
Why don't you make a challenge??"
"A─ what now?"
"A challenge!"
Theo stood up as looking excited, like he just discovered something smart (well it does smart). "Make a challenge that nearly impossible for them! Like─only Wifies could do it!"
He explain. That.. Actually not bad idea. ParrotX2 look at Theo, since when did this cockatiel was smartass?? He think for a while, before nodding, approving.
"Yeah.. That actually great one, Theo. Maybe tommorow i will arranged the challenge. But.. Please come back soon as possible."
His voice soft, almost like begging. Theo look at ParrotX2, beside smiling, also nodding.
"I promise."
Tommorow, yeah.. Theo already gone. That mean today he also need to starting the challenge. ParrotX2 waking up as finally see the sun, but it's feel a bit more heavy today or.. More like hope? He get up from the bed again, looking at the shroud on the loom.
He walking towards it, this damn shroud helping him to trick the suitor. And today, he must face it, while hoping Wifies will come back, or at least.. Theo also coming back soon. He, have the right challenge in his mind now.
"Stupid shroud.. Thanks for helping me to delay the suitors." His hand soft as touching it. "Oh Wifies.. Though i never thought that it would end like.. This."
"Just know, I'll be here.. While buying you time."
He knew, he wouldn't let anyone win it. And he absolutely know that this challenge will enough to buy them more time. The knock on the door, Fymada is already here. He look at the door from corner of his eyes, sighing.
"I will be always waiting for you, my love."
. . .
The time is fleeting, it's already running out. All the suitors want to be coming man in the house. ParrotX2 already waiting in front of the door, one of his soldier, Deputy Ace, look at him with worry. But ParrotX2 nodding, signalling for him to open the door.
The door open, one hundred suitors already waiting for the crown, the power.. And maybe more. ParrotX2 walking there, ignoring the look of those disgusting eyes. He step to the throne as his attendance place an Axes to the long table, total Twelve Axe. ParrotX2 raising the bow, Wifies's bow.
"Attention! I, ParrotX2, will arranged the challenge for the new holder of the crown. And this─will showing if you're worth it enough for it."
Eyes now look at him, cheering excitingly, thinking this is easy challenge. "Whoever can string my old husband bow, and shoot through twelve axes cleanly.. Will be the new king, sit down on the throne─
And rule with me as his partner!"
His voice was firm, like it's not a joke. But he throw the bow to one of the suitor, he catches it as looking at the bow.
"Let the arrow fly, once you know that your aim is true. I would rather die than grow old without the best of you."
ParrotX2 said. One by one.. The suitors starting to find way to aiming. Let alone aiming, they were even having a little trouble attaching the string to the arrow. Little did they realize, ParrotX2 standing right behind the twelve Axes. Like.. If someone manage to do it, it's instant killed him.
Though , ParrotX2 never thought that these would be the lenghts he's go for love. But he don't have any other way. Time passes, no body seems to can string the bow. ParrotX2 sigh in relief, before he raising his hand making eyes look at him once again.
"We will continue this tommorow, take a good rest." He said.. Looking at the door that finally open again, ParrotX2 walking towards the door, leaving the suitors there as the door finally close. It's was.. Extreme, but. He look at Deputy ace.
"Ace, inform me if anything happens alright? But don't forget to take a rest too."
"I will, your majesty. You too, please take some rest."
ParrotX2 nodded, as finally walking towards staircase. He goes to his chamber again. He open the door as walking inside. The door close, he look at cherry blossoms bed, made by his.. Husband. ParrotX2 slowly sitting there, as touching the frame of the bed.
"You know Wifies. Though i never thought that it would end like this─just know.. I'll be here.. Always waiting, for.. You."
