Servant X King - Tumblr Posts

Some of you already saw this art but here is my baby!

Samuel :3

He never did anything wrong in his life-

I support him fully.

:readmore:

Samuel is a servant! Basically he served the royal family for years, had some intimate relationship with the king, Zeon, and actually did love the man despite the short temper and how cruel the king was. (Which has it's own reasons, generational trauma, love that-)

Sam didnt really...pay attention to the bad treatment he himself was getting, as it felt normal (he grew up in a...quite big family, having nine other siblings, so there wasnt really love and care and more of survival)

The prince, Jonathan, was quite young when Samuel started working as a servant and felt more free to express himself when with the man than with his own father.

So Samuel became a father figure for him and they grew close with Sam often trying to refocus Zeons anger on him instead of the boy.

Jonathan didnt grow up blind to his fathers behavior and when coming off age (17) he wanted to take over the kingdom. During the fight, Zeon managed to take the upper hand, killing his son.

Samuel was the one to hold the dead body and scream while Zeon basically told him to get a grip on himself. When Sam's behavior didnt get better after days and he continued to not watch his tongue, Zeon suggested that a few days of dungeon for him would help this spoiled attitude. (Zeon *does* have some feelings for the servant but he would never admit it)

That dungeon time was enough for Samuel to get together a plan.

This whole story was initially based on a minecraft roleplay, which is why it has stuff like weakness potions, so...in the time of a few weeks the servant started to add small portions in the kings food, not enough to kill someone so even if the food would get tasted by someone else, the symptoms wont show so fast.

So...being under the influence of the weakness potions, Samuel could take the upper hand in combat.

There are two ways the story goes, Samuel kills Zeon, chopping his head off.

Or...he keeps Zeon in the dungeon and basically "trains" him to behave well.

(It all also includes him searching for a way to get Jonathan back and in that version he doenst kill Zeon because that's the only person that he has left.)
