ā THE CONCUBINE GAME !! | chapter one . . .
The first chapter, where you'll be able to catch a climpse of the inner dynamics between the emperor's y/n's secretary and their personal guard, a small entry and brief taste of what's to come, while learning a bit more about our beloved emperor and their staff . . .
ā Themes ; Harem / historical au , Twisted wonderland , multiple characters x reader , royalty au , includes rsa + yuuka/yuuken. ā”
The wind was howling, the pitter patter sound of rain could be heard throughout the grand walls of the palace. The sound of heels clicking urgently on the wooden floors, echoing through the empty halls, as Yuuken rushed his way through to the emperor's chambers. It was late, yet heād been overworked all week preparing the palace for the arrival of certain selected members of the Royal Harem, some were particularly demanding with the way they wanted things sorted out and Yuuken prided himself on never failing to impress.Ā
He banged on the door rather aggressively, āYour majesty, I have certain design plans I need you to finalize before Prince Leonaās arrival, and the first few concubines enter the palace, we donāt have much time!ā, he yelled out trying to get the emperorās attention, it was already late into the night and the palace staff were working overtime meeting every demand that they were given.Ā
Yuuken flinched feeling something touch his shoulder, and right before he could move back and attack, he heard an all too familiar voiceāāDonāt bother trying to get their attention, Y/nās at a meetingāāYuuka spoke, a small grin on her face while she watched Yuuken try and collect himself, āThis late?ā, he asked confused, āalso please try and address them by proper titles in publicā; Yuuka shrugged in response, pausing for a moment before she spoke up once more, āIād like to keep things the way it is, and you should probably take a break because theyāre not coming out of the room at all, itās something about politics . . . I wasnāt really paying attentionā.Ā
Yuuken sighed, slumping his shoulders as he leaned onto the door of the Emperor's chamber, āI-i . .Ā just want everything to be perfect, everythingās been so . . hectic for their majesāy/n and I just really want to provide some stability, you know?ā, he said softly, letting his exhaustion take over for a moment and Yuukaās expression softened, āHeyāyouāre doing great, there's a reason y/n gave you full creative libertyā, she ruffled his hair giving him a genuine smile, ādonāt push yourself too hard alright? None of us are expecting you to be perfect, not even y/n . .ā she finished, as Yuuken closed his eyes and whispered a small, āI know . . .ā
Setting: Meeting room
Location: The west wing.
Time: 11:36pmĀ
You fiddle with your fingers, trying to shift the jewelry that you were covered in, in an attempt to feel more comfortable with the weight that the jewels provided, holding you down . . , as another argument ensues between the nobles, these past few days have felt like a choir, in fact most of the months since you ascended have felt terrible, nothings been excitingāfrom inheriting an empire doomed to fail, to trying to pick up the scraps of what was left of your fathers reckless decisions and fixing it into something at least palatable, the pressure of everything has left you in a bottomless pit, you needed freedom a refreshing startāsomething you lostāwhen you inherited the throne . . .Ā
āāAh, your majesty?ā, one of the nobles spoke up, and you bit your lip, how you hated that title, the moment you inherited this role, your friendships havenāt quite been the same, everyone who youāve trusted in the past, have now become just another subject, trust is no longer something you earn, as loyalty and trust is to be expected when the crown is on your head.
Setting: Inner Cold Palace Garden
Location: Rundown Gazebo
Time: 12:46amĀ
"āand they never thanked me'', Yuuken hiccuped out, words slurring due to his alcohol intake, he waved the half finished bottle of some form of expensive imported wine in his hands, swinging it around dramatically; Yuuka chuckled, taking a sip from her glass as she looked around at the scenery of the gardenāit used to be much prettier and well taken care of, way back before the previous emperorāy/nās fatherāwent haywire. . .Ā
"Hey Yuuken, remember when we used to play together here?" she asked without thinking, meeting his eyes for a brief moment all the while Yuuken took another big gulp from his wine bottle . . and then he spoke, "Yeahāyou and y/n pushed me into the lake, I still hate the water", he slurred over his words slightly and Yuuka chuckled in response, if only things could've stayed as simple, but now Y/n didn't even have the time to maintain the garden where they're friendship once first blossomed, Yuuka sighed, leaning her head down on the tableāwhich had seen better daysā . .Ā the same could be said about their relationship with y/n themselves . .Ā
Masterlist | Introductions (being reworked) | Next chapter
ā”. Synposis ; After many months of persuading, the emperor, Y/N L/N had finally agreed to take in a select few concubines and consortsānot an official partner.. but concubines. This caused an uproar in court; however the emperor promised to choose an official partner; amongst the crowd of concubines and consorts.. Who will the emperor choose?
ā taglist ā” (open) : . . tumblr is not letting me mention over 5 people per post, and the staff won't do anything about it, so I recommend just joining my server and picking out the new chapter ping role as it makes things easier for me.

Unfollow me if you follow @/Marilynfuse
Hi everyone. This post is going to be different from my other ones. I try to keep other matters off of this blog and reblog deactivated content from the twst fandom on here. But thereās been one blog on the twst fandom that I do not wish to be associated with in any way.
Do NOT follow me if you follow @/Marilynfuse
@/Marilynfuse is a Zionist.
Israel has never been held accountable for a single war crime theyāve committed in the last 75 years. But weāre now finally calling them out on their genocidal incense while the rest of the world ignores it.
There are so many revolting images of murdered Palestinians in Gaza. And if you are a Zionist Jew denying the death toll or okay with saying Palestinians are collateral damage in the name of Israel, then you are no better than an oppressor.
I am very disappointed to see someone in the twst fandom pushing this on their blog. Especially since I used to follow and interact with their works.
Free Palestine
Free Sudan
Free Haiti
Free Congo
