Two Timed Royalty - Choose Between Matt and Chris - x Reader

A Royal Dilemma

Two weeks had passed since the incident with Chis. While you were back to being friends, the memory of the kiss lingered for you, carrying a significant weight. Chis, on the other hand, seemed to downplay it, dismissing the moment as something he felt compelled to do. Today, a major announcement involving the three of you was scheduled, causing a sense of nervous anticipation to permeate the air.

The grand hall echoed with the weight of anticipation as you, Chis, and Matt gathered to meet the royal couple—the parents of the two princes. The air was thick with a sense of formality, a stark contrast to the tumultuous events that had unfolded in recent days.

King James, a regal figure with a crown atop his head, addressed you with a stern yet measured tone. "Y/N, the time has come for a decision that will shape the future of our kingdom. As I prepare to step down from the throne, it is imperative that one of my sons takes the mantle of leadership."

Queen Marylou, her gaze warm yet discerning, continued, "In light of recent events, we find ourselves presented with an unexpected but crucial choice. The future of the kingdom rests not only on a capable ruler but also on a harmonious union that fosters stability and unity."

The weight of their words hung in the air, and you exchanged uncertain glances with Chis and Matt. The tension was palpable as the king continued, "It is our wish that one of our sons marries you, Y/N, ensuring a seamless transition of power and a strong alliance for the kingdom."

Chis's expression remained unreadable, while Matt's eyes revealed a mix of apprehension and curiosity. The queen's words lingered, leaving you with a decision that held consequences beyond your own desires.

"We offer you a choice, Y/N," King James declared. "You may choose either Chis or Matt to stand by your side as your future consort and the future ruler of our kingdom."

The gravity of the decision settled upon you, and you felt the weight of the kingdom's future on your shoulders. The room fell into a heavy silence, the air pregnant with the anticipation of your response.

Chis's eyes searched yours for a glimpse of your decision, and Matt, though composed, revealed a vulnerability beneath the surface. The choice before you was not only a matter of the heart but also a strategic move that would shape the destiny of the kingdom and the lives of those involved.

The royal couple awaited your decision, and as you stood at the crossroads of your own desires and the kingdom's fate, you couldn't help but feel the weight of the crown pressing down upon you—a crown that demanded not only love but a sacrifice for the greater good.
