He's abrasive

"he clicked his tongue against his palate when he heard the Kings little propostion. He had been quite annoyed already from being captured so easily a few weeks ago as he couldn't believe he was caught, to be fair it wasn't exactly his fault just some dumbass he worked with that couldn't keep his mouth shut. Riot was a mercenary and he had been wanted for quite a long time now, he was strong,quick witted and intelligent as well as a sweet talker, this attributes of his came from living on the streets and having to fend off for himself since he was 8, he was a man in his latest twenties now so he was quite experienced already. He frowned his eyebrows at the King and yet he had a grin on his face, he wasn't going to die without at least trying to beat out this arrogant Kings pretty face and he wasn't going to go easy on him either." "Hand to hand combat. And I rather you kill me on the stop If I lose, no cheap tricks allowed just pure strength." "He said confidently as he looked up at the King, his head standing proud despite being forced to be on his knees, he will never bow his head for someone else as it wasn't in his nature. He was determined on show this royal how things worked in the real world when prissy nobles weren't dotting on you and going easy on you for your status."

"Riot was quick to get up on his feet, cracking his neck right and left as he stood in a confident fighting stance. The King was tall but surprisingly he was taller, by a few inches only of course but he still saw it as win, anything was good if it was a punch to his arrogant ego." "Undefeated because of prissy nobles going easy on you mister the emperor" "He said his voiced laced in sarcasm as he put his fist up in a defensive way as he slowly approached the blonde man. Of course he wasn't going to attack first as his hands were cuffed, he had said no cheap tricks but they showed no signs of unbiding him completely. Not that he minded as he still had all his limbs to go" "Are you truly undefeated if you've never faced a real threat before ? Don't make me laugh."

"I'll try not to scar your pretty face" "He said before quickly jumping into action swiftly heading with his fist up as he was to punch the man only for quickly squatting down and sweeping him off of his feet and making him lose balance so he could jump on him and tower him with his own posture. He had fought all his life, with every kind of weapons imaginable for various reasons but nothing beats the way he fought his body only and all for preserving his life. Riot in this moment didn't need protection as all he had for himself was his undying determination. Of course it was a tough battle as both men were very powerful and resistant with incredible stamina but the Kings weakness was his cockiness and it was a matter of time before it bit him in the ass and that time was now as when he thought he had defeated him Riot had quickly sprung back into action,sliding himself right behind the right with his arms around neck, pressing the cuffs against him and threatening to strangle him on the spot. Riot could hear the knights, maids and butlers around gasps as they hesitated on moving to react"

"Riot smiled a wild smile on his face as he jumped into action again without much hesitation, thr more they fight the more intense it got and the more openings was there to actually punch the man. He had sprung out on his feets propulsing himself onto the legs of the blonde man without any hesitation once again making him fall back down on the floor which gave Riot enough time to get onto Ian's torso, sitting his fully body there and caging him by pinning down his two arms by pressing them with his hands. He smiled at the struggle of the man under him, sweat slowly sliding from his forehead to his nose before falling onto the kings cheek as they stayed there for at least 5 minutes, the king trying to get Riot off of him"

"You're trapped under me unable to move." "He said after letting out a mocking laugh, he couldn't help but find the man's stubbornness at least sort of cute in this fucked moment. But it didn't made Riot less merciful as he shifted his body weight to be able to hold down the Kings two arms with his elbow, crushing his arms there by leaning closely against the king, his head right beside his ear." "You're losing dear emperor, it's a matter of time before you admit it" "He whispered in his ear, taunting as his free hand headed to Ian's neck gripping it and holding it to place before starting to squeeze it"

"Riot just glanced at the king by the corner of his eyes, the more he lied the harder he squeezed his neck watching was the man tries to gasp for air and how his eyes blinks rapidly as he tries to stay conscious. Riot smiled." "Don't worry. I won't kill you as you amuse quite a lot." "He says nonchalantly before watching the way the man's eyes slowly rolls back behind his skull as he finally slums into unconsciousness, his body completely motionless. Riot smiled before looking back at the wide eyed servants and knights, shaking in their boots unsure and afraid of what to do next. Riot just gestures at one of the knight to get closer before pointing to his sword. The knight hesitantly gives it to him closing his eyes as he thinks Riot is going to behead the king and then kill all of them but Riot only slashes down the kings right cheek, deep enough to leave a scar but not deep enough to be deadly of cause infections. He points towards the servants and tell them to take care of Ian, as he will be taking his crown now." "Don't disobey me. I will know if you do"

"You're finally awake" "Riot says as he smiles down at the man who opened his eyes and was tied down a bed he was resting in for quite a while." "I know I told you I wouldn't scar your face....but I had to get a trace of my victory somehow" "He says in a cocky tone to the now ex-king whom he had defeated and sent to heal for the next 8 hours. Riot did some few stuff here and there around the palace to make sure he showed who ruled the place and came to the room where Ian was resting to watch when he will wake up to perhaps taunt him about his lost battle." "But hey at least you're not dead"

"Riot looked down at the man disheveled look and messed up voice from the strangling he did earlier. He then smiled quite amused, the other man's tongue was sharp and rude, it was clear he wasn't used to losing and he found it quite funny to push his buttons." "I'll be very excited waiting for that day you take your revenge on me." "He hums as he plays with the newfound jewels on his fingers" "But as my soon to be concubine it would be quite hard to achieve something like that wouldn't it" "He announces suddenly, the smile on his face getting larger as he said out the word concubine. Maybe he had done it to embarrass the ex king sure as he enjoyed seeing people like him beaten when they were already on the ground, but the man was also quite enjoyable to look that so he thought making him a concubine would be better than a queen as they couldn't be rulling togheter but Ian would still have to follow him around like a little wife."

"Trying to use my own words against be aye ? You're already taking after me how cute." "He said in a fake affectionate tone as he reached his hand to pinch his non patched cheek in a mocking way" " Be as wild as you want, you'd be boring in bed otherwise " "He taunted a slight sadistic smirk on his face as he said it, but he did meant it. He the king was a boring asshole he would've just killed him." "Just don't throw too much of a tantrum or next time I'll slice you there" "He says, tapping slightly his finger against the Ian's eyelid, it was of course a threat of making him blind from one eye."

"Riot only smiled at this words before leaving the ex king to rest making sure to tell servants to feed him as he gets out. A few weeks past and Riot was already completely used to this life already. Sure the royal family wasn't very happy and very scared of him but it was easy to get rid of them as he has Ian as a "hostage" (their words not his he much prefer the word concubine) and he still hasn't seen Ian but he has been preparing everything for when he'll fully recover of course. He has the kindness to not steal his room and leave it as it was for him to sleep in after all. But as his soon to be concubine, Riot had to make sure the kingdom knew about his presence, so that day he went to Ian's room, he was still tied to the bed but the servants took care of bathing, feeding and getting him ready for the day." "Its been a little while! I must apologize I was busy with royal stuff" "He says in a mean grin as he gets closer to the bed and look down at the blonde arrogant and proud man, the scar on his cheek healed quite quickly and was now a soft pink under his eye" "I'm planning an event soon, of course your family Is already aware and stuff" "He wiggles his hand around." "But the event will be to officially crown me as king." "He says before adding after a pause." "And presenting you as my concubine of course."

"Yeah yeah you still say the same things after weeks later huh." "He says seemingly bored as he poked the scar under his cheek lightly and mindlessly" "Don't worry puppy king." "He smiles as the nickname rolls off his tongue" "You'll have plenty of company as you won't be my only concubine." "He smiles nonchalantly before slicking back his brownish hair, a smirk creeping on his face as he looks down on the man lying on the bed" "But don't worry you'll definitely be my favorite." "He says in a teasing before pointing at one of the servants in the room" "Untie him, and bring him to the dinning room in 20 minutes, make sure he'll be accompanied with knights, can't have him act up suddenly" "He says cheerily before getting out of the room to get to the dining room"

"Riot only laughed as he got out of the room. He could already heat the struggle of the four knights inside the room the ex king was in. But Riot wasn't worried he just went and sit on the dinner table waiting for the ex king to come with knight beside him or none at all, he was ready for either as he knew he would win anyways"
