Two Peas in a Pod
A year of Bricktotheface, a year of this blog. Thank you to everyone who have read, and hopefully enjoyed, my stories. This is the second medieval au that none of you asked for.
War had weathered all of them, Tim noticed. A war with another country was bad. A war within your own country was worse.
But that’s what’s happening in the kingdom of Gotham, as the insane stood themselves up and informed the royals they intended to rule.
He watched King Bruce bear it out for a while, before finally conceding to Richard’s pleas on asking for assistance.
He reached out to the sister kingdom Bludhaven, to the twin queens Dinah and Barbara. Negotiations for an alliance were to begin.
Tim will admit, Bludhaven was a smart tactical choice. They had an infamous, elusive group of independent elite soldiers, as well as multiple connections. Queen Dinah herself was betrothed to King Oliver of the Starling Kingdom, and the soldiers were a force to be reckoned with, part of the royal family themselves. Their army was astounding too. They didn’t tell him much, only that the alliance was going to come in the form of a betrothal.
He saw Richard’s worried eyes and panicked. Bruce wouldn’t marry his heir out would he? Not when he promised them all a chance for true love that he had received himself.
Tim worried as the date that one of the soldiers would arrive came closer and closer…
Until the day came.
“Knight Brown requests entry to negotiate alliances between the kingdom of Bludhaven and the sister Gotham,” A herald announced, nervousness shown as he is face to face with the royal family of the dark Kingdom.
“Send him in.” Bruce commanded.
“But Your Majesty-”
“Send him in.”
Richard sends a look toward Bruce, a reminder to be kind, and Jason stops lounging, sitting straight up. Tim too, was curious as too what the knight looked like.
They were stunned when the a blonde in dark armor walks in, purple accents showing her rank. Not him. Her.
Jason’s eyes are bugging out, Richard’s eyebrows raised, and Bruce’s lips thinned. Tim just stares.
She was beautiful.
The woman drops into a graceful curtesy. Tim wonders if an angel from Heaven itself has decided to come down and greet them. Bruce dips his head in greeting, and they all get up, bowing to the princessknightsoldier representative from Bludhaven. He can see Bruce’s disapproval all through the polite negotiations and finds himself shocked. The knight was perfect, how dare he disapprove. Tim barely pays attention, eyes lingering on the woman as she talks, barely keeping a straight face when she flashes a smile at him.
She was radiant.
Tim wonders if she would be the one for him. He resolved to do his best to get to know her, have her get to know him.
She smiles a lot. Her face lights up when she smiles. She’s delightful. She makes funny remarks. She’s everything they hoped for. She’s everything they needed. She’s everything they wanted.
She’s absolutely amazing.
He kisses her hand softly when they’re introduced. He straightens up-
And forgets where he was. Her eyes, they were stunning, sparkling, amazing. Right there and then, he decides to court her.
