a Kitsune’s undying loyalty

°❀⋆

After the passing of the emperor due to a terrible illness, his son, Scaramouche, took the throne.

But shortly after he took the throne, an offering quickly came his way.

A well known hunter burst through the palace doors one morning, making his way straight to the emperor while dragging something struggling along with him. Once he arrived to the emperors location, he lifted the hood on the struggling individuals head to reveal a Kitsune. Half fox half human creatures worth a hefty price. More tails on their fox form, the higher the price.

The crowd of people already making their way around gasped.

“I’ll give you this kitsunes tails for 100,000.”

The hunter yelled to the emperor. Scaramouche watched as they looked back at him, petrified. With the loss of your tails, you’d loose a permanent amount of strength and likely will not be able to protect yourself any more.

The emperor looked at the Kitsune. The Kitsune looked back with a scared pleading look in their eyes. He could take their tails.... But what use did only 5 tails have? Then... Scaramouche had an idea...

There had been rumours floating around the castle about his potential assassination. That he wasn’t fit to rule the country, and that his younger brother was a far better candidate. And Scaramouche heard every last one. He feared a similar fate to his father, since he had a theory it was by poisoning... and Kitsunes were a loyal source of protection.

“I’ll take it. But I don’t plan to take its tails. Bring it to the palace.”

He states, making his way to the palace and expecting them to follow. The guards quickly seized the Kitsune and gave the man his money before he disappeared from the picture.

what met them was a single offer.

“Become my familiar, or have your tails stripped from you.”

So the Kitsune kept their tails.
