A Princess. A Queen. A Wife. A Mother.

Medieval AU

Princess Y/N Stark of York New must marry a man chosen by her brother, by the time she is 21. Her brother's council have the perfect man in mind, one that is terrifying and hell bent on having his Queen. But Princess Y/N's heart belongs to another, and luckily so does her hand in marriage.

'A princess is far more powerful than a king, my love. You have the power of merging families and kingdoms. You have the power of carrying hopeful heirs to the throne. You have more power than you know...'

Bold italics are flashbacks.

<Part 1 <

Part 2

"The Princess is missing! The Princess is missing! Alert the King and Queen! Assemble the Knights."

The door to your chambers burst open before multiple sets of feet raced into the room.

"Princess!" Lady Wanda cried out as she and Lady Natasha ran up to your bed, "Princess!" Your ladies-in-waiting grabbed your bedcovers and drew them back off you, uncovering your head and causing you to groan from the sudden brightness, "Princess Morgana is-"

"In her bed." Lady Natasha sighed. "I'll tell the guards to stop panicking." Natasha picked up her skirts and quickly left your chambers.

You groaned again, opening one of your eyes. "What's going on?"

Wanda tutted, "The castle is in chaos thinking that Little Princess here, is missing." She smiled down at the sleeping four-year-old that was beside you. "Why is she in here again, Your Highness?"

You let out a soft sigh as you carefully slipped out of your bed, accepting your robe from Wanda. "Not sure. But it's every night this week." You looked towards her, sitting down in one of the armchairs that sit in your chambers. "Is breakfast on the way up, I am starved." You rubbed your hand over your tummy as it growled.

"Oh, His Majesty has asked for you to join him and the Queen, along with the Little Princess and Sir Peter."

You nodded, "Very well. I'll bathe first, if I may?" Wanda nodded. You smiled and stood from the chair. You glanced at Morgana. "I'll take Morgana back to her chambers."

"Your Highness, are you sure? Natasha will be back shortly."

You shook your head as you approached your bed. "I'm sure, Wanda. I wouldn't wish the wrath of the sleepy Princess on anyone." You teased before gently shaking Morgana awake. "Rise and shine, Little Princess."

After successfully taking Morgana back to her chambers and to her nanny, you returned back to your own chambers to bathe and dress for the day before joining the King and Queen for breakfast.

"Goodmorning," You greeted everyone as you walked into the great hall.

"Goodmorning, Y/N. Sleep well?" Pepper gave a pointed look towards her daughter making you chuckle.

You sat in between your brother and Peter. "I did. I hope neither of you was worried by our Little Princess' escape?"

Tony let out a heavy sigh as he placed some fruit onto his plate. "Not after the third night of her doing so." He grumbled.

Peter chuckled softly, "At least you won't have that trouble tonight."

Morgana's head shot up from her own fruit. "Why not?" She asked with a small pout. Her head barely visible over the table due to her size.

"Y/N and Peter won't be here, Sweetpea. Remember?" Pepper smiled.

Morgana frowned, "Where are they you going, mother?"

"We're going to Brook, remember? To visit King Steven." You smiled as you buttered your bread.

"Oh," Morgana's brow furrowed as she thought.

"So, dear brother, why the sudden need to have breakfast with all of us?" You asked as you looked up.

"Can I not just want to eat with my family before two of you go off for weeks?" He scoffed dramatically as he picked up a blueberry and popped it into his mouth.

You stared at him in silence, not believing a word he was saying.

Pepper rolled her eyes at her husband's poor attempt of vaguing innocence. "Anthony, you know you can not lie to her," She smirked knowingly making you grin.

Tony scoffed, "Thank you for reminding me, Pep." Tony rolled his eyes, only a little irritated by his wife.

"You are most welcome, my love." Pepper gave both you and Peter a wink as you shared a laugh.

Tony glared playfully at her before he turned his attention back to you. "The purpose of breakfast this morning was so we could discuss your upcoming birthday."

"My birthday?" Your brows knitted together in confusion. "But there is another six months before it."

Tony nodded, "Yes, there is. But, there's the matter of finding you a husband before." He frowned whilst playing with his breakfast. "I'm sorry, Y/N," He whispered.

Silence settled over the table as everyone waited for your reaction, knowing how you felt about the subject of an arranged marriage for your 21st birthday.

"Oh," Your bottom lip pouted as you sat back in your chair. "Have you already chosen? Or are the council still debating who will be the better man to 'beat the respect' into me?" Your pout suddenly turned into a glare.

"Y/N, please," Pepper scolded lightly. "I understand your feelings about this subject but do be careful with your words." She looked down to Morgana with a worried look.

"My apologies."

Tony sighed and placed his hand over the top of yours that was on top of the table. "Please believe me when I say I will not allow them to have any say in this." He reassured you with a squeeze of his hand, "And I most certainly will not allow anyone, to hurt you."

"Me neither," Peter whispered as he leaned into you. "And I'm sure you'll be able to give any bastard a run for his money." He teased making you grin.

"Peter," Pepper scolded, putting a smile on your face.

Although Pepper wasn't a mother to either of you or Peter, she was very motherly towards the two of you. She cared for and loved you as if you were her own children.

"Take a look at this," Tony handed you a piece of parchment.

You looked down at the piece of parchment with multiple names written on. "What is it?"

"A list of possible suitors and eligible men. I thought I'd give you the chance to have your input." He smiled at you.

Your eyes lit up, "You mean I get to decide?"

Tony rolled his eyes dramatically. "Didn't I just say what you get?" He smirked as he reached forwards again and tapped your hand.

You grinned whilst looking at the names. "Thank you, Tony."

He shook his head holding his hand up. "Don't thank me yet, Y/N... You get one month to make your choice."

"Then what?" You asked with a soft frown.

"I have to narrow that list down. Your marriage will help us strengthen our ties with another kingdom," He sighed deeply.

Your eyebrows furrowed deeper as you looked over the names. "King Thor... Prince Loki? King T'Challa..." Your eyes lit up curiously, "King Steven? I thought he'd vowed never to marry again?"

"Uh... that's just to, thicken out the numbers." Tony cleared his throat.

"KING BROCK!" You snapped, your eyes were wide with anger and panic.

Morgana let out a loud gasp. She quickly scuttled off her chair and ran around the table to your side. "Come with me. Please. I have to show you something. Please," She tugged on your dress before dashing off, leaving no room to argue with her.

You let out a heavy sigh pushing yourself up from the table, "He best be to 'thicken out the numbers' also." You whispered. "Peter, let the stables know we leave right after breakfast is finished, please."

Peter nodded with a soft sigh as he met Pepper's worried gaze. "Of course, Your Highness,"

You followed after Morgana quickly as you left the great hall, "Morgana, what is the matter?"

"You're not safe," She called out over her shoulder, not bothering to stop as the two of you passed guards.

You followed her all the way to her chambers where she finally stopped to take a breather before she went to her toy box. You watched her carefully as she retrieved her wooden sword.

There weren't many little princesses with a 'boys' toy, but Tony wasn't interested in stopping Morgana from learning the skills she was interested in. He always knew she'd take after you, you were her hero after all, and if you could strike a sword as good as some of his best knights and shoot arrows to hit perfectly centre of the bullseye, then so was Morgana.

"Take this. It will keep you safe." Morgana held the wooden sword for you to take.

"But I am, safe." You smiled as you took the sword from her tiny hands.

She shook her head with a solemn look in her eye. "You will be with this." She nodded.

"Very well," You sheathed the wooden sword through the golden chain that was around your waist before bowing in front of her. "It would be my greatest pleasure, Your Highness." You grinned as she started giggling.

"Your Highness," A guard stood in the doorway of Morgana's room, "Your carriage is ready."

"Thank you," You smiled politely before you turned back to Morgana, "Come now, Little Princess, I must leave."

She nodded with a sadden look as she took your hand. "I will miss you,"

"Good... I will miss you." You smiled down at her. "Come on. Shall we race?"

"DEAL!"

~~~~~~~~~~

Thankfully the ride to Brook was no longer than a day's riding. You were glad, you weren't sure you could handle anything longer. Being left alone with your thoughts and worries of your upcoming nuptials was like a nightmare. Although you weren't really alone, Peter was beside you shifting uncomfortably with the need to say something and Natasha and Wanda were unusually quiet.

"Oh for heaven's sake." You huffed, turning to look at Peter. "Spit it out, Peter."

"I'm afraid you've lost me, Princess." Peter shifted again, looking out the window.

"Do not treat me as an idiot, Peter. I know when you are biting your tongue, and I know when you think Anthony is right." You frowned deeply at him.

Peter groaned, "Permission to speak freely?" You nodded, "I believe you should have given His Majesty a chance to explain. You should know more than anyone that he would not do anything he did not believe was right."

You scoffed, "Always quick to defend him."

"He is our King," Peter argued.

"Not when it comes to this." You snapped. "He promised me I wouldn't be sent away." You sniffled as tears blurred your vision.

"He's not sending you away. You know this must happen, Y/N." Peter placed his hand on top of yours. "He would not let anyone hurt you... His Majesty, loves you, Princess. Why do you think he's given you the chance to have your say. Use it,"

You scoffed, "Damn you..." You wiped your nose on the back of your hand.

"Princess, please," Natasha scolded you as she handed you a handkerchief.

You accepted the handkerchief and wiped your nose. "Deep down I know Tony wouldn't do anything he didn't think was right... but, that one name..." You looked up to meet Peter's equally worried gaze.

Peter nodded, "I know."

You'd both heard the rumours over the years of the type of leader and man King Brock was. It was terrifying to listen to the tales.

You smiled softly as you placed your other hand on top of his, "I'm sorry, Peter."

"Oh my." Wanda began to fan her face as she fainted dramatically onto Natasha. "The Princess apologising. What next?"

"Hush," You giggled. You turned to look out the window at the passing scenery, letting out a breath of air. You reached up and banged the roof with your fist, "Driver?" You called out.

"Yes, Your Highness?"

"How long until we reach the castle?" You inquired.

"Less than an hour, give or take, Your Highness."

You smiled to yourself. "Would you please stop the carriage?" You asked in a polite manner.

"Yes, Your Highness." The driver answered and slowly stopped the carriag

"Princess?" Peter frowned at you confused.

You smiled over your shoulder as you opened the door, "I wish to ride horseback the rest of the way."

"I don't think that is a good idea, Princess." Wanda gave you a worried look.

You took the hand of a knight and with a thank you, you stepped out. "That is why we must do it." You giggled. "Come, Peter, we shall race."

Peter rolled his eyes with a playful grin as he followed after you. "As you wish, but do not think I will be easy on you."

Natasha scoffed playfully, "You are a fool if you think she will not beat you." She winked at you before closing the door behind her. "That boy still has much to learn,"

Wanda hummed, "All men do,"

One Piece Chapter 1028 - Initial Thoughts

And we return for some more One Piece

5 minutes on the clock for the Flower Capital to become a grand canyon. But the last 5 minutes did take 4 chapters so the length will vary.

Let's see what we have this week

Spoilers for the chapter, support the Official Release

Starting with the Colour Spread and I just love everything about it really; Ryuffy, Franky Kong, Fancy LoZ pun for Zoro as Link, Devil Robin and Usopp & Nami being gamerbros. They would be like this, Nami especially that girl would have every paid medium she could get her hands on

We start with them nasty fellows in white, CP0

If you think I didn't recognize that Den Den Mushi's beard then you're wrong, not many have that kind of goatee Mr Lucci

Aha I expected that one, even if Wano's borders open freedom is not always on the cards; the World Government have already sent ships to annex Wano and practically do the same thing Kaido will

Every time I see white-eye's scar I keep thinking he's a Monkey D. like an uncle or something, we didn't say that Garp only had one son

There's Lucci, with Stussy about to prank the shit out of a sleepy Kaku, no Hattori though where the pigeon?

Orders from high up are a bit obvious too: Kidnap Robin so the pirates can't have her. Not like Lucci knows from experience how badly that can go

Also there's Hattori!

I will have to say though the CP0 in Wano are being very confident given how their Shamisen player has the Mary tag on her face, are they just giving away information? Or maybe hinting something at Who's Who?

Robin meanwhile is being protected by Brook, so we're meant to feel worried, but I do also know that Franky has left his post, Jimbei is not too far from Robin and Brook and they are en route to where Nami and Usopp are. Plus they may have to get through Kid, Law and BM first

Outside the island and Yamato has bounced, leaving Momo alone to figure out what the fire cloud buttons are

Poor boy's trying but the imminent death of hundreds of people is getting him flustered

Yamato has left with purpose though, he's gonna try and get rid of the explosives to limit the impact

Well lookie here, it's the rest of the Heart Pirates! That means they and Caribou - and maybe Shinobu - did hitch a ride on Momo after all

And now Yamato properly looks like Okami

Flying Pan? Really Queen? Save the puns for Brock from Pokémon

Queen does want Sanji to use the Raid Suit, since that's the only way Sanji will fight at his apex

Rude Sanji, I mean disown your father and brothers but your entire family? Rude to your big sister Baeju

That grill shot from Sanji though does prove he can damage Queen in spite of the cybernetics, and in the absence of the Raid Suit, but only on the counter

Back into his full Zoan form now for Queen, it confuses me which is meant to be stronger, full Zoan or Hybrid? I guess maybe each one suits a different style like how Jack changed to fight either Inu or Neko

That's...Oda that...THAT'S NOT HOW DINOSAURS WORK MAN

First Triceracoptor now Queen has basically shot his tail and neck to become a snake!? What kind of dinosaurs do you guys have?

Marco and Izo's shocked face though, and half of Kawamatsu's but you miss most of it

How is a snake the 'true nature of a brachiosaurus' seriously these are not the kind of dinos we saw in Little Garden!

Sanji's all coiled up now though, being crushed while Queen bargains his escape by using the Raid Suit

And it seems that Queen has modified his leftover body into a mini-tank

Haha, there's the comedy segment though, they're rigged to fire when he mentions them but they fire because he's bragging about them

Hey you can't call them stupid, you built them knowing that you were taking your brain out of the body

Oof Sanji you're all janked up

Why do I feel like the 'are you a zombie?' statement's linking back to Moria, though I do think a lot of things are linking to Moria when it comes to Wano

And then Sanji's body just clicked back into place!

Looks like Sanji's awakened some Germa DNA meddling, much to his disdain, but it does save him from a beheading.

So it may turn out that Sanji will be Germa's greatest success, just a super late bloomer on the durability. I dunno how I feel about it, there was greatness in the fact that Sanji was unenhanced but then again he could set his leg on fire, in a way he's kinda like Reiju in that he has the power but not the lack of emotions, but it does neuter more the sacrifice his mother made. That being said, Sanji being super durable will bolster him without the raid suit, and it makes sense that the suit taps into his DNA enhancements, just a bit late to the party given how he was being socked by Maria not too long ago. It'll make a funny dynamic to see Zoro want to try and cut him now that his skin's extra tough.

I guess the Zoro fight will have to wait, but I also have to resort myself to thinking that it'll end in 1v1s. Yamato will hopefully opt for Law's crew and Shinobu to help him with the explosives...but once could be that putting it in Caribou's bottomless pit will work the best.

CP0 are finally coming into action, and it is a potent threat, but this could indeed be the moment for Usopp and Brook to shine, Usopp himself was fodder against CP9 and Brook already has sadness about being unable to protect people in his charge. It could go either way with Robin, but with the converging of Marines even if Luffy and co win Kaido might still get his war, unless Shanks shows up too...it could get even crazier than it already is

But in all seriousness, Oda what dinosaurs are you reading about? I have half a mind now to think that King will be able to Origami himself into another shape, think on that during your break!
