yandere duke x witch reader (PART 1)

Synopsis: You’re a witch known for making love potions. They're fake. The reviews are real. Your track record? Immaculate. Until a duke walks in, covered in blood, and demands you reverse the spell you cast on him. You didn't cast anything. He doesn't care. And now you live in his mansion.

Love Potion or Love at First Sight?

"Are you sure this is it?"

"Yes yes! This is the love potion. Now pay up or leave because I have other customers to attend to!"

You groan at the woman hesitating in front of you, wasting your time.

You're an infamous witch known in the black market for selling all types of spells and potions for a hefty sum.

Your most popular item? The love potion.

Which is actually just… an aphrodisiac.

But after selling 170 potions? You've only ever received positive reviews. All from noblewomen, lovestruck and happy with the results.

What can you say? You've always known men to be lustful creatures, barren from emotions. After selling a 170 with zero bad reviews? Your ideology is proven correct.

"Are you sure it works?" the woman whispers.

"100% customer satisfaction guaranteed!"

She still looks nervous.

"And if it doesn't work, you can come back and I'll give double your money back as refund."

The woman nods, pays with a pouch of gold coins, then leaves.

Another positive review, you think to yourself confidently, already marking this as your 171st success.

You just didn’t expect your first bad review to appear right in front of your face.

The door slams open.

A man stands in your doorway. With black hair and red eyes; blood plastered across his face, clothes, and most importantly his sword.

"So," The bloody man starts, one hand going up to wipe some blood off his face. “You're the witch selling cheap love elixirs all over the market?”

You don’t answer, your hand sliding toward the defense charm under your counter instead.

Because this wasn’t just any man, this was the war-crazed duke feared by all of society.

"You better pay for this."

…Guess you'll be closing the shop for a while.

Vashkar is a desert kingdom, known for its influx of riches and trade, as well as its many scholars and libraries. Lethia is a cold, brutal kingdom with fatal winters, known for its rich wine, plays, and military tactics. Lethia and Vashkar have been hostile to one another for centuries; the conflict even predates your great-grandparents. Historians argue about the initial cause, but many point to the Lethian king's killing of the Vashki king’s first wife. To the Lethians, Vashki bandits were interfering with Lethia’s major food supplies during one of its harsh winters. Both sides started wars and told tales about how malicious their enemy was. As such, the two northern and southern borders were cut off, lest you want to be killed by the other nation. 

  • Prince Bilal of Vashkar just wanted his father’s approval. His father keeps trying to marry him off to all these other suitors—some from faraway lands, pretty nobles, or foreign diplomats. Though he was never really interested in marrying these women. And it’s not like he would struggle with courting; he was incredibly attractive, lean yet muscular, and adorned with fine jewels and silks. Like many people of Vashkar, he had bronze skin with sharp brown eyes and thick eyelashes. As a prince raised in a country at constant war, he focused mainly on training, becoming inept in basic social situations. 
  • He sets out to capture the foreign princess to prove to his father he is more than just a man who can continue their lineage. He makes the mistake of grabbing you, a random maid, for the princess of Lethia. After you both return to his homeland, he realizes you’re actually just a random maid and feels utterly humiliated. This kind of mistake was one he could never live down! Especially if his father and brothers found out.
  • Bilal had four younger brothers. In order of oldest to youngest were: Bilal, Laith, Azhar and Azlaan (the twins), and Raza. As the second eldest, Laith was very calm and collected, often sparring with Bilal. Azhar was quiet and kept to himself mostly, often seen reading. His twin, Azlaan, throws extravagant parties and fools around with countless women. Lastly, Raza was rather nosy as the youngest, mainly following his brothers around the palace. 
  • Due to how bothersome his brothers were, you were a secret. He can’t release you because you could spill his kingdom’s secrets or tell your princess what happened and escalate the war further. As a result, you were kept in his chambers with strict orders to the servants not to enter unless he had permitted them. And if you do leave the room, he must escort you.
  • When a royal advisor questions who you are while you are both in a hallway, he answers on a whim, “This is my seamstress from Estrana.”
  • “Oh, that must have been a rough journey…”
  • “Yeah.” You mutter with a deadpan expression.
  • The prince is mortified by the whole situation unfolding, but is rolling with it. The issue with this lie is that you cannot sew, which was never going to be in your skill set anyway as a royal nanny. 
  • He really liked that you were very honest with him and treated him like a regular man. The prince was so used to upper-class women doing anything to get in his good graces for the crown. It was very refreshing to interact with a maid who didn’t understand courtly mannerisms.
  • After the first week of staying in the palace, Bilal becomes obsessed with you at an alarming rate and starts making increasingly convoluted reasons for why you can’t return to your homeland.
  • He orders the servants to bring you fresh fruit, fine jewelry, and silks. Everyone in the palace is confused since you have not made a single piece of clothing (as a supposed seamstress), let alone done anything to warrant these kinds of gifts. 
  • Meanwhile, you think he just wants information on your homeland, so you keep your guard up and overthink everything that Bilal says to you. To the prince, though, he enjoys the thrill of this ‘chase.’
  • During a friendly spar between Bilal and Laith, you walk by the training grounds, and Bilal becomes increasingly violent and flashy. His brother is alarmed at the sudden change in the pace of the fight. Unfortunately for his blade partners, this turns into a regular occurrence if you spectate one of his spars.
  • It should be noted that your body is not accustomed to the heat. Constantly, Bilal is fanning you and does everything he can think of to keep you cool. He even has a designated pail of water set aside for you, and, given the dry climate, water was a rather scarce resource.
  • A couple of weeks later, his father had planned a banquet to introduce Bilal to some potential suitors. This prompts Bilal to secretly try to get your measurements to commission a tailored tunic for you, even though he told everyone that you were a seamstress. When questioned, he promptly says that when he said seamstress, he meant a baker. 
  • Throughout the whole event, Bilal longs to have a dance with you, but he’s forced to do a dance with multiple other women. He’s miserable the entire time and purposefully bumping into things, not listening, and otherwise acting rudely. 
  • In the corner, there is a long table full of delicious food that you are actively stuffing in your mouth while the rest of the crowd is mingling. One of the few guests near the table asks how you feel about the food, and you respond in your thick Lethian accent, “Wow, I have never eaten cold food on purpose before. All the food back home is already frozen solid and has to be cooked for a long time to even be eaten.”  
  • During the feast, Raza caught on to his brother’s romantic interest in you. Mainly because Bilal never showed an interest in marriage, and now is suddenly so infatuated with you that he’s showering you with rare jewels. After the banquet, Raza walks up to you and asks smugly, “When is the wedding?” But you think that he is trying to get information out of you in some secret code and just reply, “You will never get that information out of me.”
  • Shortly after, Raza gathers his brothers together (without Bilal) and blurts, “Bilal is getting married!” Laith is now convinced that the spar he and Bilal had was his way of trying to impress you. Azhar just nods and walks away, while Azlaan begins to plan a whole celebration. 
  • Bilal becomes more dramatic the longer he holds you in his kingdom (against your will), even sobbing over the fact that you don’t really like the gold jewelry he has gifted you. He believes he should have known that his love would only wear silver. How could he be so ignorant?! As his infatuation grows, he buys more and more extravagant gifts in larger quantities in an attempt to gain your favor.
  • Because he was raised in the royal palace, he is atrocious at flirting and jumbles too many mushy words together. Such as the time he called you ‘pudding bunny’ in his native tongue, thinking it was cute because of the references to your homeland.
  • As time goes on, he poison-tests your food for you, truly believing that someone may actually target you. Bilal even shoves aside the palace taste-tester whenever you're going to eat.
  • He’s also obsessively observant to a concerning degree. He’ll say things like: “Your hair smells different today." “When you are nervous, you play with your hands.” “You tend to sweat right here. Can I feel the area?” 
  • He’s memorized every freckle on you, so when even a speck of dirt is on you, he swipes it off for you, declaring that “you are filthy; let me clean that off for you, love.” 
  • Do not let this poor man get jealous. If you even show another person too much affection, he mopes around for the entire day. But if it's someone showing you too much affection, he will not hesitate to use force to step in between you. And you better hope no one gets too handsy with you…they might lose a finger or two.
  • At the engagement party, planned by an over-enthusiastic Azlaan, you figure out that Bilal was actually trying to court you, and are absolutely appalled that he is trying to have relations with the enemy whom he kidnapped by accident. Bilal is more enamored that you did not have any feelings for him, and he doubles his efforts to win your heart. You are never leaving this man’s arms now…

In your opinion

What kind of Yanderes would the others be?? (Ticket Taker, Doctor, Jester)

YOUR OPINION.

Avatar

WELL ALL OF THESE ASKS ARE MY OPINION CAUSE IDK NOTHING ALKJDSLJFKDLJ

Ummmmmm--LET'S SEE:

Harlequin: demisexual yandere---he's only a yandere for you if he gets to know/likes you first. But if he does? Expect him to follow you EVERYWHERE.

Jester: less gory/bloody boyfriend-to-death levels of yandere. He will chain you up. You are not going to do ANYTHING without his say so. This experience will change you forever.

TicketTaker: "You are my pet and must obey me at all times BUT don't look at me directly in the eyes"--- type of yandere. It would take A LOT for him to see you as an equal; humans are pets and food to him, nothing more.

Doctor: If he were to be a yandere? I actually don't think he'd be the typical 'medical' yandere who regularly cuts you open (but honestly idk). Though he would be the type to keep you near him for study. He likes to look at you behind a glass cage, wondering what you'll do next--looking forward to all the things he can learn from you, his most precious subject. Another idea however, is that you're his nurse---ever loyal assistant. Idk though, i think he's the hardest for me to envision as a yandere XD sorry.

Pierrot: The rare yandere who actually means it when he says he doesn't want to hurt you. If you refuse him, he will blame Harlequin before blaming you---YOU are actually not at fault here. Pierrot is not above drugging you of course, like a typical yandere would, but he would not chop off your limbs or anything either. He loves you, but he also doesn't know what healthy love IS---there is hope in talking to this yandere, teaching him what love is. Unlike many yanderes out there who 'say' they love you, but then hurt you HORRIBLY for daring to not conform to their own twisted vision of who you 'really' are---Pierrot actually will respect your autonomy/listen to you some.

You're on a ship in space, a Private in Earth's space military branch. Unfortunately. There are some off-worlder V.I.P.s on board, and you do your best to stay away as not to cause any trouble.

There's one of them that has other ideas though, and she's only got eyes for one unlucky soul on board: You.
