A cursed princess and a cursed knight

by Blueberry_Bubbles0

Summary:

Over the years the great and old Kwamii have become embroiled in a conflict of their own. With Pollen and Plagg both blessing two children with their powers to maintain some influence after being declared dangerous by the other gods.

A conflict that has bled into a human conflict reaching a boiling point after Gabriel Agreste, Duke of Burgundy, usurps the French throne from King Andre Bourgeois and his wife Queen Audrey Bourgeois. A goal he accomplished after receiving a blessing from the kwamii Nooroo.

This leaves Princess Chloe Bourgeois to explore a land she doesn’t understand, with her mysterious friend, the cursed knight, to find the kwamii and get an explanation for this mess. And take back the throne with the new friends she makes along the journey.

Chapter 1: The beginning of our tale

Summary:

The beginning of the tale begins.

Notes:

So here we are another fic everyone!

You can tell my motivation and inspiration is all over the place constantly. Though my thought process is that if I have multiple fics I can bounce around them, when I get bored of one. If I have the energy to update any of them at a particular point.

So I’ve had this idea for a while but a few main parts have changed. Originally the villain in it was supposed to be Audrey. However the personality and actions she initially had accidentally all went to Orchids and Memories Audrey. Plus I want another fanfic of Gabriel just being pure evil. So the plot ended up changing to Audrey trying to be a good mother.

As always I’m a sucker for mediaeval era content. You know fanfic, movies, just anything really.

This fic is going to be more positive. It’s a grand adventure between all of the kids. Like even Lila here isn’t bad. At worst they’ll be stubborn and standoffish. They’re all just kids going on an adventure, in an effort to help Chloe.

And good parent Audrey for this au…..just because this is my au and I can do what I want. I don’t want to say I can fix her. But I like her. No, I don’t know why I like her so much either.

Also go watch the video and listen to Cloudbusting by Kate Bush. It’s got Donald Sutherland in it. In fact go put this fic down and go listen to it, then come back.

There was once a figure the people called Darkblade.

 

A tyrant who had usurped the throne from the previous monarch, executing both the monarch and the heirs. All in an effort to start and maintain his own rule, by eliminating anyone who could become a figurehead against him. Ruling the land with an iron fist, Neither peasant, nor noble was safe from being attained or executed. 

 

Though he should have realised not all tyrants last that long. 

 

It didn’t take all that long for the people to grow angry with him. It was an inevitability really that a rebellion against him would happen. A rebellion from which he would not be safe. 

 

He tried to hide inside his castle walls. A futile effort indeed, despite the powers he had been blessed with. The masses broke down the doors and stormed in, ready to take his head as vengeance for years of suffering. The charge caught Darkblade by surprise, finally capturing him after so long. 

 

He spent a few days locked away in jail while they were preparing his execution. And upon the church bells chimes those few days later, he was brought out to the chopping block. His head chopped off with the singular blow of an axe. 

 

So with much relief the people of France were finally free from the tyrant known as Darkblade. 

 

 

 

There was only one small problem left to resolve.

 

For Darkblade had no heir. This left the question of who should rule over the mighty kingdom of France. Maintain the empire that Darkblade had built. The kingdom was determined to see less bloodshed than there had been in the years prior. 

 

There were a few main candidates for who could become the next monarch. 

 

Lord Gabriel Agreste: 

One of the men involved in the charge. He had previously been a Duke before Darkblade had attained him of his lands, leaving him as a Lord. Quite a cold, reserved man, he had an aptitude for politics. 

 

However his wife, Lady Emelie Agreste was growing ill. So he declined the title of monarch, to care for the wife he loved so much. 

 

Tomoe Tsuguri: 

She had been invaluable in helping to bring down the tyrant. Her knowledge and skill with weapons, as she was a fencer, had been incredibly useful in bringing down the tyrant. 

 

However her vision was beginning to fail and so turned down the position of monarch to focus on her fencing career.

 

Colt Graham De Vanily:

A man of great courage, Colt had helped to stir up the common people and inspire them to charge forward to 

 

However he declined the position of monarch to get married to an English noblewoman who had taken his fancy. One Lady Amelie Graham De Vanily, twin sister to Emelie Graham 

 

 

 

This meant that out of the four main nobles that helped to take down the figure known as Darkblade. Only one remained to take the position of monarch. 

 

And so with great reluctance, Cardinal Andre Bourgeois was to be the next monarch, to lead the kingdom of France forward to the next era. 

 

The golden crown was placed upon his head only five days after Darkblade’s execution. And as it did so, the kingdom bowed to their new king. 

Notes:

As with the Barbie/Miraculous crossover I’m also writing I’m taking a bit of inspiration from Wars of the Roses for it. I’m not taking as much inspiration from it for this fic. At least not as much as the Barbie/Miraculous crossover. This fic also takes quite a bit of inspiration from Ender Lilies, because I’ve been playing a lot of that lately and love it.

Now if you’re wondering what the Wars of the Roses was, it was a period in the 1400s in which the houses of York and Lancaster fought over who got to have the English throne and have power.

The average person who is aware of the Wars of the Roses will most likely think of the Battle of Bosworth, which took place on the 22nd of August, 1485. This battle was when Henry VII (previously known as Henry Tudor before becoming king) defeated and killed Richard III (who previously had held the title of Richard, Duke of Gloucester during his brother’s reign, before becoming king) during the battle. However there was at least a 30 year period before that, in which numerous other battles occurred. This at least 30 year period before Bosworth is essential in the buildup to Bosworth occurring in the first place. You know, Richard III’s interesting way of becoming king. And there is technically a battle that comes after. But we’ll get into that later.

I won’t go too into detail now. But brace yourselves for so much Wars of the Roses information.
You’ll most likely have a basic overview of what occurred by the time I’m finished with this fic (which god knows when that’ll be with the way I write. As I do have personal original story projects I’m working on and want to get going)
Plus I’m using this as a weird form of revision.

As always though I’m only studying it. I’m not a qualified scholar or professional. I’m just studying it and I’m super passionate about it. So if you do want to know more, I suggest you go and research

Also get ready for a massive Henry VI bias. I just adore the man, even though he’s been dead for centuries. Something about him is just so interesting to me. My favourite historical figure of all time. So yeah.

One final note, fuck Dan Jones. We all hate Dan Jones.
