A beautiful piece of art (I'm unable to find the artist) depicting Shri Vasudev Krishna carrying Princess Rukmini Devi to his chariot in the kingdom of Vidharbh (her homeland). She had sent him a letter in secret, expressing her love and devotion for him, asking him to come and take her to his kingdom as his bride. Her eldest brother, Rukmi, had arranged her marriage elsewhere, against her wishes. But she wanted to marry Shri Krishna.
Ultimately, her wishes prevailed because he came to Vidharbh in his chariot and whisked her away in front of everyone, including her brothers.

requested!! tysm
You had recently finished this afternoon's global politics lesson, and were now walking with your royal advisor. The two of you were discussing how you would take over trade with your nation's closest ally when you heard the light clank of metal behind you, signaling the presence of one of your knights. Without turning it around, you already knew it was your main guard and secret boyfriend, Sir Riki.
He caught up with the two of you and gently grabbed your shoulder, turning his head to face your advisor. "Pardon me, but do you mind if I borrow her highness for a few minutes?"
Your advisor looked between the two of you suspiciously, knowing you had nothing else planned until after dinner that evening. "What for, exactly?"
"Oh, I just wanted to talk to our princess about some security updates I thought of. You see, with the increased trade in our kingdom, it's of the utmost importance that we keep the royal family as safe and happy as possible." At that your advisor nodded and walked off, leaving you in Riki's care.
As soon as they were out of sight you turned to your boyfriend, ready to ask about the security updates, but just as you opened your mouth he dragged you off to the knights' training center. Surprised, you said, "Sir Riki, I don't think I'm supposed to attend training sessions unless I'm supervising the grounds with my father."
"There's not a training session right now," he countered.
"Then why are we going here?"
"Because," he said, turning to you, "I wanted to see you." And with that and a wink, y'all continued walking until you arrived. Once at the center, he pulled you towards some bushes, hiding the two of you from view.
"Kiki, I really don't see how this is necessary for talking about security updates," you scolded, confused as to why y'all were hiding.
"We aren't talking about security updates."
"But you sai-"
"I lied." He smirked down at you, taking in your beauty. Even with your sleepy eyes (that politics professor was exceptionally boring) and ruffled dress, you still looked prettier than anyone else he'd ever met. And with your lovely features, delicate clothes, and especially your height compared to his, he couldn't help but think you must be a faerie of some sort.
"What was that?" you asked, leaning closer.
He hadn't realized he had said it out loud, but he supposed that he couldn't hold it back now. "I said you must be a faerie."
At that your face warmed. "Riki, you know it's unwise to compare us to the fae folk."
"The fae folk can talk to a wall for all I care, it doesn't change how short and cute you are," he laughed.
"I'm not short! I'm average, ABOVE average actually. You're just way above average!" you cried indignantly, but he didn't care. Your furrowed brows only accentuated your precious demeanor. To your shock, he planted a kiss on your forehead before leaning his against yours.
"Doesn't change the fact that you're shorter than me," he laughed.
As he spoke, you decided to get back at him for his teasing, suddenly pushing him against the wall of the training center. "Don't forget I'm your higher up, Sir Riki. You answer to me, so watch your mouth," you scolded, giving him a knowing look as a light redness spread across his face.
"Yes, your highness."
At that point y'all both knew that despite all the sneaking around and the teasing and the differences between you two, you two wouldn't settle for anyone else. He was only for you, and you for him.
a/n: i'm trying to get back into posting 😭 i finally fulfilled a req!! now when do i get a pretty knight s/o :/

Fic - Since Beardo Philip has at least one evil bone in his body, I think it would be fun to see him and a Reader pretend he's a villain capturing a prince or princess. He lifts the Reader over his shoulder and carries them into his hideout cave like it's his evil lair. Reader plays along by helplessly kicking their legs in the air though they secretly enjoy being carried.
The Prince / Princess of the Boiling Isles (Beardo Philip x Pretend! Prince / Princess Reader)
The Boiling Isles considered you to be their most beautiful prince / princess.
Why?
Because you were responsible, always helping others when you could.
You were compassionate, even towards those who displayed cruelty.
You demonstrated complete respect for the Titan and did everything in your power to protect the environment and the people you loved.
You enjoyed the world around you and found happiness in everything you did.
Rather than dismissing someone as a bad person, you opted to help them improve when they were facing difficulties.
You followed your heart and carried out what was right.
You searched for understanding and peace in disputes and conflicts and ensured that everyone was treated fairly in the end.
You showed bravery in confronting your problems.
Your dreams were made a reality by your hard work.
You never judged a book by it's cover.
No matter what happened, you never gave up.
You took love at a slow pace and embraced your unique talents.
But most importantly, you were true to who you were.
Your inner beauty illuminated like a light thanks to all those positive traits and aspects.
...
One day, after completing your "chores" in the totally real "castle" that you lived in, you decided to take a nice walk in the woods.
After being cramped "indoors" all day, you were craving some fresh air.
Putting on your favorite leisure outfit, you headed out the "castle" doors.
...
During your small stroll, you passed by a bush and paused when you heard rustling coming from it.
You let out a small giggle in your hand, assuming it was one of your animal pals playing a game.
However, you were wrong when a man jumped out, causing you to jump and squeal in surprise.
Your eyes were curiously fixed on him, your mouth slightly agape.
What was he doing in that shrub and who was he?
The man's hair, long and brown, was tied in a messy ponytail, and he had a mustache and beard.
He also wore a blue coat as well as a sinister smile on his face.
Looking you up and down, the man began to twirl his mustache like a stereotypical villain, which "scared" you as you tried not to laugh.
"So, you're that prince / princess that I've been hearing about," He hummed softly, wasting no time to lift you over his shoulder as you squeaked.
"You're coming with me!" He declared, quickly taking off with you as he laughed his diabolical laugh.
You were now his.
"Nooo!" You cried out dramatically, "helplessly" kicking your feet.
How could this monster kidnap you?
"What's the matter, prince / princess? Not keen on coming with me?" The man asked, letting out a devilish laugh.
"No, I'm not! Let me go! Let me go, you foul fiend!"
"I'm afraid I can't do that," he insisted.
"Now, be a good little captive or I'll feed you to a Stonesleeper. I heard they have a strong craving for princes / princesses, especially cute ones such as yourself."
"Nooo! Someone help me!" You cried out again, but no one came to your aid.
Poor you.😔
When the two of you arrived at the "evil lair" (it was really just his cave), he began doing the most diabolical thing one could ever do to someone... he started covering your cheeks with loving kisses.
His facial hair caused you to giggle as it tickled your skin.
Persuading Philip to join you on this may have been challenging, but you're pleased that you managed to do it.
