Charlotte: The Prince’S Bride (Sort Of)
Start with a marriage
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
So, what’s with the face, old man?
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
You look like you just swallowed a goblin egg.
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
*waving a letter*
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
😮💨
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
I almost wish I had.
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
This...is from the clan.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
*flips upright*
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Oh no. Not them again.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
What’s the disaster this time?
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Taxes? Exile? A family reunion?
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
Worse.
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
They’ve arranged... a marriage.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
...
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
A marriage?
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
For who?
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
😑
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
You.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
...
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
I beg your pardon?
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
The letter says, “Our esteemed daughter, Charlotte Clement, is to be wed to His Highness, the Third Prince of Dragon City.”
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
*snorts so hard*
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Married? To a prince? Oh, that’s rich.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
They do remember I’m not...
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
Their “daughter”? No, they do not.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
*throws herself back dramatically*
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
That’s crazy!
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
I won’t even spend a night with that guy!
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
Who said I’d agree to it?
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
...
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
😏
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Actually…
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Why not approve it?
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
🤨
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
Come again?
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Think about it.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Free food, royal palace, fancy clothes... and when the prince finds out the truth…
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
😏
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Boom, scandal!
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
😑
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
😏
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
*pinching his temples*
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
Sometimes I think raising you as a girl was my greatest mistake.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
*cheerfully* Nah, best decision you ever made.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Look how adaptable I turned out!
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
*groans*
The letter bursts into flames in his hand.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
*laughs*🤣

The Clement's
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
[Hi 👋]
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
[People call me Charlotte Clement.]
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
[Cute name, right?]
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
[Too bad it’s a lie.]
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
[I’m actually a man... raised as a woman since birth because my dear father thought it’d “keep me safe.”]
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
[Safe from what? Beats me.]
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
[But after twenty years in dresses, I can swordfight in heels and lie like a noble.]
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
[Which, trust me, are both essential life skills.]
He stretches lazily across the table, a teacup in hand, hair tied up with a ribbon that doesn’t quite match his sharp grin.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
*calling out*
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Oi, Father!
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
You planning to stare at that scroll all morning or summon the apocalypse again?
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
*without looking up*
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
If I did summon the apocalypse, at least it would be quieter than your morning commentary.
He’s tall, handsome, and has the expression of a man who’s been outwitted by his own child one too many times.
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
[Name’s Klevier Clement.]
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
[Former mage, current headache-holder.]
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
[I raised a son disguised as a daughter, and I’ve regretted it exactly thirty-seven times this year alone.]
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
[Still… he’s all I’ve got.]
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Aww, don’t frown like that, Father.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Wrinkles don’t suit your “mysterious old sage” aesthetic.
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
If I get wrinkles, it’ll be because of you, daughter.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Hey, technically you made that title up.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
I’m just playing the role.
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
😮💨
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
[Our life’s pretty quiet... training, reading, pretending we’re normal.]
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
[At least, it was quiet... until today.]
Klevier opens a sealed letter, stamped with a dragon-shaped crest.
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
*reading aloud*
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
“The Clement Clan hereby announces that their daughter, Charlotte Clement, is to be wed to His Highness, the Third Prince of Dragon City.”
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
*chokes on tea*
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
I’m sorry... what?!
Ms.Lazy
This story just popped up to my mind.
Ms.Lazy
I told my cousin about this. And she said I try to release this.
Ms.Lazy
I hope you will like it...
Ms.Lazy
Though I am not confident

Please support me with this to keep me motivated.
The Letter from the Dragon
Klevier holds the letter like it’s cursed. Charlotte, halfway between panic and amusement, leans over his shoulder.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Okay, say that again.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Slowly...
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
The Clement Clan hereby announces that their daughter, Charlotte Clement, is to be wed to His Highness, the Third Prince of Dragon City.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
*leans back*
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Wow.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
They really doubled down on the “daughter” part, huh?
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
Apparently they still think you’re the sweet little girl I raised to confuse the world.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Sweet? 🤨
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
I once blew up the greenhouse because a toad startled me.
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
😑
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
You also blamed it on the toad.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
And it worked!
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
I’m practically noble material already.
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
...
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
Charlotte
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
What?
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
🤨
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
You’re not actually considering this, are you?
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
Of course not.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Good.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Because I’m not spending a single night with some spoiled royal brat...
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
Who said I’d agree to it?
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Then what’s the problem?
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
The problem is, this “arrangement” wasn’t a request.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
...
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
[The Clement Clan. My so-called “family.”
Old bloodline of mages ...half geniuses, half lunatics. They serve under the royal dragons, but they treat magic like a currency.]
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
[You want to rise in the clan? You marry power.]
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
[You want to survive? You marry higher power.]
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
[And the Third Prince of Dragon City?]
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
[Rumor says he’s a monster in human skin... a descendant of the Dragon King himself.]
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
[Charming...]
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
So basically, if we refuse, we offend the clan.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
If we agree, I marry a dragon.
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
That sums it up.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
*grinning*
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Then… let’s agree.
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
Excuse me?
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Why not?
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
It’s not like I’ll actually go through with it.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
I’ll just play along, show up, maybe terrify a few nobles...
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
You are not using a royal engagement as a prank.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Oh come on.
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Think of it as...uh...diplomatic chaos.
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
Charlotte...
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
Father, it’ll be fun!
Charlotte Clement {Mage|Charles}MC
I’ll even wear that ridiculous lace dress you keep pretending isn’t in my closet.
Klevier covers his face with one hand, muttering something about divine punishment.
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
[I’ve faced warlocks, dragons, and cursed scrolls.]
Klevier Clement {Mage|MC Dad}
[None of them terrified me as much as my own child.]
