Chapter 3 by Machinistmage Machinistmage

Whom are you exactly?

Tyrant King

You awoke with no fear for your safety, no worry that you might be attacked by roaming bandits or struck down by a rogue sorcerer. You had no reason to fear either, you were the ruler of your own country, the Kingdom of Alwen. Armies moved by your command, peasants knelt at the mention of your name, you were King John.

Much as you enjoyed how much fear your name mongered, your appearance left much to be desired. For starters, you had never been able to grow a beard, leaving your face smooth. Having inherited your rule, you also avoided manual labor and thus your muscles were weak or nonexistent. You still looked male, but only just. You were heavy looking armor and large capes to give yourself an intimidating appearance, and you would immediately punish any who questioned your masculinity.

Unfortunately, as you began your day, you were unaware that you should be fearing your safety. Since rising up as a ruler, you'd offended quite a few people. The peasantry was **** to live in squallor because of your oppressive taxes. Your family, despite how much you'd spoiled them, had grown resentful of you. More people than you even knew of plotted against you and today would be the day their trees would bear fruit. Today was the day of your downfall. But who would be doing the dirty deed?

Queen Eliza

Your wife was once a mere duchess until she married the king of a neighboring land. After said king mysteriously disappeared, Eliza inherited her husband's lands, but was **** to remarry by her family, making you her second husband. Unbeknownst to you, Eliza was responsible for her first husbands disappearance and has turned her sights to you. Beneath her polite and modest appearance, Eliza is a cold, calculating, and devious woman who would happily sell you off to a slaver's caravan or a foreign king's harem if it meant taking your kingdom. Unbeknownst to you, her preferred tastes include women over men.

Prince Adam

Your son is your only biological child and sole heir to your kingdom. A deeply disturbed individual, Adam has inherited many of your more negative qualities and mixed them together to form a perverse prince. You have long known about the sex dungeon he hides in his wing of the castle and the many innocent villagers he takes as captives, yet you might not expect to be joining them. Perhaps it was his own idea, or perhaps the whispering of a princess who caught his eye, but with you out of the way Adam will inherit everything...

Princess Jocasta

Your step-daughter is a child of your wife's previous marriage and a rather strange young woman. Despite being well into her twenties, Jocasta is a spoiled and irresponsible brat who squanders much of the kingdom's coin on her greatest obsession, dolls. She's commissioned artisans from across the kingdom and beyond to create her playthings, some of which have faces disturbingly similar to you, the king. Her goal is not so much to overthrow you as to make you her own toy...

Prince Edwin

Your brother would have inherited the throne if you had been born female. In the years since you rose to power and your wife gave birth to an heir, he has studied alchemy. As a token of familial gratitude, he has sent you an elixir said to give you everlasting life. He neglected to mention that the side effects of it would rewrite what he saw as a mistake, sapping away your masculinity over time until you become a fair maiden...

The Peasantry
Having had to deal with your exploitative rule and crippling taxes for too long, the townsfolk have plotted to storm your castle and forcibly drag you from the throne. Your family may be spared, but for you, only the most humiliating treatment will suffice. It might begin as a trip to the town square and a night in the stocks, but once the peasants start, you'll not have a chance to reclaim any honor you held as a king...
