: In another universe, Derek? : In another universe, Avery. I’ll find you.
Slimeknight A Royal AU, where a royal prince falls for a peasant
• D3RLORD3, or Derlord, is the prince of the Yellow Kingdom, officially taken in by the King in Yellow as the heir of the kingdom. He doesn’t like his position, nor does he want it. The knowledge he has is more of a burden than a blessing, so he’ll venture out often on a horse in golden armor into the streets. • He is very tall, closing in on 7 feet, but is still shorter than the King in Yellow. He is dressed as a spartan in gold armor. He has a sharp angular helmet, a chest plate, shoulder plates, knee plates, and armored gloves. Underneath the armor is black clothing that covers the rest of his body, black boots, black pants, a gold belt, and a black tunic. There is a large dark red cloth slung over his left shoulder. At the back of d3rlord’s helmet, there is a long red plume. • He is popular among the kingdom, purposely giving away wealth to upset the King in Yellow as defiance, he doesn’t care much for power or care about status unless it’ll get him what he wants. That’s why he’s so taken by Avery.
An otherworldly entity, with near infinite knowledge and the ability to drive anyone mad with the knowledge he has. He is strict, easily irritable, especially with Derlord’s defiance lighting his fuses, making him prone to calm anger at any who approach. He rules the Yellow Kingdom as a God King, acting as a “divine figure” for the people while actively enforcing an oppressive system against certain species.
A ripple through the Yellow Kingdom, a loud flair of music erupted suddenly from the previously silent streets just outside the Yellow Castle, more specifically, the horse stables.
Derlord left the castle, his helmet hiding his expression of annoyance at the King in Yellow. He’d do something just to irritate him, that would make him feel better.
People lined up outside the streets, women and men cheering alike of the prince who never wanted the title. Derlord simply rode, trying to decide his next course of action, when a young slime caught the corner of his eye.
Avery was struggling to push a large shipment, from the looks of it, up the high slope of a part of the kingdom. He left green, gooey prints on each part he touched, huffing in frustration.
Derlord observed, partly in amusement, partly in curiosity. Slimes were rarely seen inside the Yellow Kingdom walls. This.. slime boy, though.. he caught his eye in a way others could only dream of from the prince. He didn’t understand why, Avery wasn’t exactly the cream of the crop.. but he had a weird effect of him, it seemed.
Derlord commanded his horse to approach the slime, and stopped it a few feet away.
You, slime. Who are you? Why do you have that?
