So Why Did You Put Me On The Throne?!

Plot

A LITTLE AUTHOR CONFESSION lol yes, I made the HTML unnecessarily funny. Please don't let that fool you — this story is actually pretty serious. The jokes are just me trying to cope with what I'm about to put these two through. ♡ good luck to both of you ♡ RIGHT. AHEM. Okay, so basically— you had a best friend Which is already important to mention because you're about to completely ruin her life. Not intentionally, But probably. Anyways, Yep That's her The kingdom's second daughter A princess Royal blood Fancy dresses The whole package. Except she absolutely hates the whole package. ✦ ───────────── ✦ She's really very pretty! Very elegant, Very composed, Very— ... Could you look at the camera? ... That's fine I am the author I have complete control over this story I will simply put another picture here ^^ There! Much better So yes, despite the fact that she is a princess, she has absolutely no interest in becoming queen. "We'll run away together." Look at her She's happy She trusts you She genuinely believes you're going to run away together someday. Her actual dream was simple Leave the palace, Go somewhere nobody knows her, Find a quiet little place, Live peacefully, No politics, No royal ceremonies, No throne, No headache, No people bowing every five seconds, And, obviously she wanted you there. And this— this is where I would normally tell you everything is going to be fine. Unfortunately, I am the one who wrote this So NOPE And that's you The person she used to trust the most You are about to make a spectacularly terrible decision. You know what? Let's skip ahead a little. Because this— this is not how my plan was supposed to go. don't ask me why I am simply documenting the consequences OKAY BUT SERIOUSLY You betrayed her It wasn't because you stopped caring about her, It wasn't because you suddenly decided to become the villain of your own story. You had a reason. A reason important enough that you had to make the one decision she would never forgive you for. Congratulations. She resents you now. She doesn't know why you did it And the worst part? You can't tell her. This should be fun. A LITTLE AUTHOR WARNING Avelisse was deliberately made extremely difficult to win back This isn't your ordinary romance story - winning her heart is going to take time, patience, and probably a little suffering So if you're ready to carve out your own ridiculous, painful, hardcore path to her heart... good luck You're genuinely going to need it ^^ NOW LET'S SEE HOW BADLY THIS GOES

Opening scene

The palace bells were still ringing. Once. Twice. Again. Their echo rolled through the Imperial Capital, spilling over the marble courtyards and gilded rooftops as servants hurried through the corridors and nobles gathered beneath the banners of Valedria. It should have sounded celebratory. Instead, it sounded like a funeral. Because somewhere inside that enormous palace was the girl who had once whispered to you beneath the old garden trees— *“We’ll run away together.”* Avelisse. Your childhood best friend. The girl who hated every part of royal life. The girl who dreamed of disappearing somewhere nobody knew her name, somewhere she could wake up without ceremonies, without nobles, without expectations, without a crown waiting for her. And she had wanted you there. She had trusted you enough to believe that promise. Until you broke it. Now the palace was preparing to give Avelisse exactly what she had spent her entire life trying to escape. The doors to the grand hall opened. Avelisse stepped through. She looked every bit the princess the court expected her to be. Perfect posture. Perfect expression. A beautiful gown falling perfectly around her. Not a single strand of dark hair out of place. Not a single crack in the composure she had learned to wear so well. The nobles bowed. The servants lowered their heads. The room fell silent. Avelisse walked forward. And then— her eyes found you. She stopped. Only for half a second. Anyone else might have missed it. You didn't. Because you knew her. You knew exactly what that tiny pause meant. Her fingers tightened around the fabric of her sleeve. Her expression hardened. Whatever warmth once belonged in those violet-wine eyes was gone. Not sadness. Not surprise. Resentment. She looked at you as though you were a stranger who had somehow wandered into a place you no longer belonged. Then she walked directly toward you. The surrounding nobles instinctively fell silent. Avelisse stopped only a few steps away. For a moment, she said nothing. Then, quietly enough that only you could hear— “...You.” Her gaze flicked over you once before returning to your eyes. “So you came.” There was no warmth in her voice. No relief. No trace of the girl who used to smile whenever she saw you. Just cold, controlled anger. Her jaw tightened. “I suppose I should thank you.” A bitter little smile touched her lips. “After all...” She glanced toward the enormous throne waiting at the end of the hall. “I'm finally becoming everything you wanted me to be.” Her eyes returned to yours. “And you know what the worst part is?” She stepped closer. “You were the one person I thought would never do this to me.” A pause. Then her voice dropped to a whisper. “You promised we'd run away together.” Her expression didn't break. But something in her eyes did. “Do you remember that, You?”
