TAKES PLACE IN A FANTASY AU ÙwÚ

Princess Momo x Servant Yosetsu!!

Third Person's POV

          Snow began to fall during the night, as citizens of the Creatorian kingdom walked with thick but warm clothing as they went to buy in stalls and to resturaunts. The Christmas seasnon was quite close already, as a few decorations can be seen on houses, hunged with lights and ornaments to start lightening up the mood.

Yosetsu was walking in the streets of the kingdom, ordered by the head chef of the castle to buy a few vegetables and fruits. He didn't mind about the task despite the snow falling over him, however, he do wished that the task wasn't told to him that was almost close to his curfew.

Luckily for him, he was able to buy the food he needed so he could go back to the castle and drop himself on his bed. However, he noticed someone by the lightly dark alleyway.

It was a woman, she had a robe and her hood was on her head yet it didn't look like it was enough to keep herself warm. She was rubbing her arms, shivering from the cold outside.

Yosetsu frowned and made his way to the alleyway and approach the woman. As he approached to her, he asked, "Excuse me, miss? Are you alright? You're shivering."

She nodded and spoke, "Y-Yes, I'm alright. I just didn't expect for the temperature to drop low, I would've gotten myself better warm clothes for me to go out at night."

Yosetsu hummed, thinking on what he should do to help out the lady. An idea soon popped up and he took off his scarf and coat.

He placed his coat on her and wrapped the scarf around her neck. "Here, take these so you can feel warm," Yosetsu smiled.

The woman blushed and said as she tried to refuse the offer, "No no it's okay, you don't need to give me these."

The woman was about to take them off of her until Yosetsu stopped her. "Please, you can keep them. I still need to head to the castle soon or else the king and queen will get mad at me."

"Oh, do you have a curfew?" She asked.

He nodded, "Yeah. It's not my curfew yet but it's better to come back early than make everyone worried on where I am."

"I see. You work with the Royal Family of Yaoyorozu."

In the Creatorian Kingdom, they were ruled by the Yaoyorozu Royal Family. They inly contained three members, the king, the queen and their daughter, Momo.

Yosetsu had interest in the princess. They were both at the same age yet they don't always inyeract much together.

"Yup. It's not an easy job as a servant there but I don't mind it at all." He smiled.

He grabbed hold of the woman's hands which made her face heat up even more. At this rate, she could be sweating just by the heat she's feeling.

"Make sure to drink some warm hot chocolate or milk. You very much need it if you're freezing." He told her.

There was nothing coming out of her mouth so the woman nodded instead.

"Good. I better go now, it was nice meeting you, miss." He smiled and let go of her hands.

He was about to walk off until she called out to him.

"W-Wait..!!"

He turned around and face the woman. He raised a brow in confusion and asked, "Yes?"

"What's your name?

"Oh uhh..Yosetsu. Yosetsu Awase," He answered.

          The woman walked up to him and held his hands. Yosetsu was blushing a bit yet he still wasn't quite sure what's going on with the woman.

She then requested to Yosetsu something, something which almost made his heart stopped.

"Yosetsu, please marry me and be my husband..!!"

"What?!?!" He yelled out.

M-Marry me?! But..we just met!!

"Miss, I don't think that's a wise decision for us to make." He said.

There was a slight gust of wind that was felt, yet it was strong enough to pull the hood down off of the woman's head.

To Yosetsu's shock and surprise, it was the princess, Princess Momo Yaoyorozu.

Yosetsu's face heated even more when he saw who was right in front of him. "P-Princess Momo?!"

That's when he soon realized that the princess, just asked him to be her husband.

"Y-Your majesty!! Umm..I don't think that's something we should do." He said again.

Everything was so confusing for Yosetsu, it's making his heart rate rise and his face rising to scorching temperature simoly because of tye princess, who wants to marry him.

"But why not?" She asked.

"Princess, you're part of royalty and I'm a servant. The relationship between someone who is royal and someone who is deomestic could is not allowed, especially in romance." Yosetsu explained.

"I don't care about that! You've treated me with such kindness and love tonight that you're already the perfect man for me. Please Yosetsu, take me as your wife." She begged.

This is hoenstly such a dream come true, but so confusing at the same time.

"But your highness, we just interacted once. We can't--"

"Then let's hang out more together!! If that's all we need to be together, then we must do so." She smiled.

Out of all the men in the world, princes came in this kingdom and asking for marriage with Princess Momo, to which she refuse. But why does she choose me over those men who are better suited for her!?!?

"Let's just...get you back to the castle, your highness." He spoke nervously, still can't handle the overwhelming situation right now.

"And then you'll agree to marry me?"

"Wha- I...uhhh...we need to ask your parents' permission first."

She pouted, "Please Yosestu?? I wanna be with you forever."

"I will be with you, as a servant."

"Not like that!"

          Their conversation continued on and on as a little argument because she wanted Yosetsu to marry her. Despite the little fight they were gettibg on, they soon were able to make it back to the palace and made it back safely.

The next morning...

          It was an early morning ans Yosetsu was on his way to kitchen to help out for breakfast. Before he could even enter the room, the queen called out to him.

"Yosetsu, do you have a moment? We would like to speak to you."

Oh no, what did I do?!

"Y-Yes, your majesty." He replied.

He followed the queen and throughout their walk, he couldn't help but look back onto the moment that happened last night with the princess.

          He did like her, and no doubt almost every boy liked the princess. Although, it was just so confusing for him and it was overwhelming to think that Princess Momo wanted him to marry her. What did he do to make her think of a decision like that? Was it because he helped her in the snow? Anyone would do that honestly, but no one knew she was the princess because of her robe.

They soon made it into one of the rooms, specifically the room of Momo. They both entered and the king and Princess Momo were sitting on her bed.

Yosetsu gulped and nervously continued to walk as he was still following the queen.

The queen sat down on the bed and spoke to him, "Please Yosetsu, have a seat."

He felt like it would be a but disrespectful if he sat on the bed, so he decided to get a nearby chair and use it to sit down instead.

"Is something wrong?" Yosetsu asked.

"Nothing is wrong, young man. So please, don't feel a bit worried about your job, you're not getting fired." The king spoke.

Well that's a relief.

"We would like to ask though, I'm sure you're quite aware that our daughter will become queen soon." The queen said.

He nodded, "Yes, your majesty. Will there be a big event that I need to tell the others so we can prepare or..??"

The queen shook her head, "Not at all. That can wait for now, the tlreason why we brought you here is because Momo needs a husband, and she told us you're a perfect candidate."

....excuse me?!

Yosetsu's cheeks turned red as he yelled out in shock, "What?!"

The king nodded, "We know that you are a very kind man, Yosetsu. We see no problem in having you as king and the husband of our daughter."

"Besides, I really like you, Yosetsu." She giggled and her cheeks were also visibly heating up.

Yosetsu took a moment to take a deep breath and finally spoke, "Princess Momo, I..really like you too. You're strong, beautiful, kind and just amazing, but I can't be your husband. I'm not worthy to be king nor am I worthy to be your lover, Princess Momo. I'm not fit to be in any place near that role as your husband or a ruler for this kingdom. Plus, our people will criticize our relationship together, saying that it should be someone from royalty rather than a servant workinv for the royalty. I'm very sorry."

Momo's face softened by the apology said by Yosetsu. She then replied back to him, "I understand, you don't think you have the responsibility, knowledge or any skill to be king. However, I'm willing to help you out, Yosetsu. You may not know a lot about ruling a kingdom, but I could at least help you on the traits on what you need to imprve so you can rule along side with me. I don't care on what people will say about our relationship, life will not always give you what you want so if our relationship isn't what they want, then that's their problem. You're right, we may talk or have seen each other from time to time, but we never got proper interaction together. So because of that, how about we start over a bit so we can have a better interaction and relationship together? We can start slow."

Yosetsu didn't know what to say, he was speechless because he didn't realize how devoted the princess was to marry him. It was all happening so fast but luckily for him, it slowed down a bit due to this conversation.

"Okay, I would like that a lot." He smiled.

After his response, the princess was trying so hard not to squeal in excitement. For her, she was as if she was a normal village girl, excited to see a handsome face of a prince and got even more happy and excited when he talked to her.

"Then it's settled then! The two of you will have a wonderful time together for the next few months and when the time is ready, you both will be married." The king said.
