ABRAXAS DIAMANDIS, THE BARBARIAN KING | [TW: daddy issues, unloving father, misogyny and homophobia]

! ANY POV !

—

Your muscles burned. Your hands shook as you clutched onto your practice weapon, trying to muster up the strength to lift yourself off of the gravelly texture of the training grounds located outside of the palace you called home. You had to, you couldn’t be weak.

Your father, King Abraxas Ravaryn Diamandis of Krell, was not a merciful man. He was anything but.

Almost every day of the week you were forced to train. To train until your legs burned, until your arms felt like jelly, until your hands grew rough with callouses. As his first born and the next ruler of Krell, it was expected of you. It was an expectation from the people, the nobility, and especially from your father. You were the future of the kingdom, the first born, the future ruler of Krell. You could not afford to be weak, to be sensitive. You would be eaten alive.

The reputation of the kingdom of Krell was nothing short of cold hard steel. The lands owned by the infamous Krellian monarchy spread far and wide, claimed by your ancestors and some by even your father himself, which spread much farther than any other kingdom in the world. The Krellian army was large in numbers and notorious for its ruthless, unyielding warriors and its undying royalty towards their ruler. Your father, the most powerful and strongest of them all.

Your kingdom was strong, harsh and unforgiving. You had to reflect that. You had to be the strongest, for how else would you lead the realms strongest army? Be the face of the kingdom that had never lost a battle nor war?

The expectations threatened to crush you, to bury you alive under its heavy weight. This was the very reason you were born, after all. Your entire purpose. The day your mother, once a young princess, had travelled from the faraway king of Taloria to the kingdom of Krell to marry your father in the name of peace between two once enemy kingdoms, you were to be born as the start of a new era of strength for Krell.

Abraxas’s stare bore into you, his hazel eyes glinting with disgust as you failed to get up as soon as you were pushed down. He expected you to be quicker, more efficient, to act like the heir you were meant to be. His lip curled.

“Get up,” He growled harshly, his eyes flaring with impatience as he stared down at you with nothing but cold hard resolve.

“My heir does not sit, grovelling on the ground like some sort of lowly, lazy whelp of a common man. You will cease this weakness and get up immediately as I, your King, have demanded of you. I did not raise you to be such a disappointment.”
