Ahhh if maybe I can request a continuation from the Guinevere!Reader request? Like after the events of 7DS when Arthur gained Chaos he slowly starts to change to how he is in 4KOA. She gets worried and Arthur assures her that he's still the same but seeing as the change becomes worse she soon after escapes and goes into hiding in hopes of finding a way to save him until after the incident in Liones (4KOA) and later is brought back to Camelot. (We'll assume Guinevere!Reader has the same power as...the loli but did a better job in hiding her powers.)
OoohhhOHHhoo this is very interesting! Specially with the trailer of the Anime recently🥺 Thank you for the Request ❤️❤️
Arthur Pedragon King of Chaos x Guinevere!Reader: 4 knights of apocalypse.
Genre: Headcanons
Reader: female
Warnings: SPOILERS FROM THE MANGA OF NANATSU NO TAIZAI AND 4 KNIGHTS OF THE APOCALYPSE!! Arthur with chaos, Angst- some comfort, some soft yandere?? rather Arthur in 4kota being his own warning, reader has the power of a kaleidoscope (can see the future), mentions of death, somewhat long work, I think that's all.
FIRST PART FOR CONTEXT
You didn't like to remember what happened during the holy war. Neither of the you two wanted.
All the humans who died, the friends lost, how Arthur had died, even if it was temporary, it was something that would remain forever in your mind and heart.
only for the total destruction of Camelot to occur shortly after.
The war was won, yes, but at what cost...
It took a toll on both of them.
A part of you felt guilty for not having been able to prevent this future scenario with your power, but Arthur was always quick to tell you you didn't have to feel that way, after all going against destiny was much more dangerous and unpredictable.
Arthur, even with all the loss he had suffered in that time, was happy that you were safe and by his side, he wouldn't change that.
Even if the words of support felt good, you could see right through him, and how the situation had definitely damaged him severely.
not only for his lost arm, but for his damaged spirit.
and it was something else that changed him...
The chaos.
Of course, at the time you did not accept that Merlin used Arthur as a vessel for that thing, but it was not in your power to decide, now, with things as they were, you could see more clearly how Chaos affected Arthur.
Even if it was in his general aura, it made him more threatening, colder...menacing.
He did not direct this attitude towards you! With you, in general terms, he was still the same Arthur that you fell in love with, that you married... but he started to change little by little.
Arthur became considerably more clingy after all the trauma he had gone through in the holy war, at first you even considered it normal, if it weren't for the fact that later it could have been seen as a warning sign.
Arthur is more clingy with chaos, he slowly clings to what he has left in the war, in this case, YOU.
For this reason, he begins to show certain tendencies or amplify those he already had, for example, his protection over you.
I have the personal hc that at first Arthur's outbursts due to the chaos only came to light (initially) in moments of high tension(like in the anime), so the first stage of "infection" so to speak passed quite unnoticed.
However, it does not mean that it did not have worrying moments.
Related to the above, Arthur would literally have quite serious fits of rage if you went on, for example, a small reconnaissance mission with Knights and ended up injured.
and I'm not talking about just "getting angry" I mean he might even deploy his sword with them (you'll have to do something if you want the Knights to come out alive, another warning sign...).
At this point, Arthur begins to show more of the side we see in 4kota, although quite Lowkey.
but it doesn't mean he doesn't say some pretty dark things.
For example, his dislike of other races is becoming more and more evident. especially demons.
Even if you want to understand what's happening to him, you can't, not when you see it and you KNOW that this will end very badly...
I don't think Arthur is confrontational, but you definitely don't sit back and watch him talk bad about the races he fought SIDE BY SIDE in the war. Didn't that matter to him anymore? Now they were all the same to him. the?only evil beings who want to harm humanity?
Arthur has the ability to not shout or take fights to extreme levels, but the worst thing is that he also does not deny anything or leave the argument halfway. which only confirms that his ideas are becoming increasingly solid and dangerous.
Unfortunately you cannot see a future where you change his ideas permanently. at least not now. while Arthur becomes more radical day by day.
but at least you know VERY well what this change is due to: Chaos.
It's the first step in undoing the damage, but it's difficult to do it on your own while Chaos has more and more control over Arthur.
He continues to be a good and loving husband to you... I listen to his opinions and ideas... you don't know what to do.
By the time he has the whole plan to use Britannia to rebuild Camelot at the cost of the lives of the other races and to destroy EVERYTHING in favor of an "eternal kingdom"... that's when you start planning.
you need to find a way to get Chaos out of Arthur.
But first you should get away from him, no matter how discouraging it may be. You love your husband, but for that reason you must leave him to SAVE HIM.
Using your Kaleidoscope, you were able to find the perfect way out of "Camelot" before anyone noticed.
and as soon as you were out of that bubble, you began your journey towards Britannia.
To say that Arthur was distraught at first would be an understatement.
Let's say that at first Arthur thinks you were kidnapped, it's that serious.
He has his knights rushing out to go look for you (fearing for their lives when they return without you or clues to your whereabouts) and Arthur is VERY tempted to go on his own to look for you in every corner of the continent.
but he cannot leave the kingdom for too long. Plus he doesn't want to scare you (when he realizes that you left of your own free will).
and Chaos in a way operates a little on their thoughts so that the following happens.
In the time that follows, you continue traveling to various parts of the continent in search of a cure for Arthur.
Have you tried to go with fairies, with giants, alchemists, magicians, etc.
but you can't find anything useful.
apart from the fact that you are constantly avoiding Arthur's Knights, whether they are specially sent to look for you or they are simply there for "recruitment".
You were able to easily keep a low profile, hiding your Kaleidoscope power from people knowing that that would be what could (probably) give you away.
Having seen everything the small towns had to offer, and unable to return to Carmelide safely by Arthur's knights, you made a hasty decision.
You went to see the deadly sins to ask them for help. but first of all, to King Meliodas.
without knowing that that was precisely what Arthur wanted.
Arthur knew you well enough to know that even if you knew you shouldn't avoid the future, he had to be cautious about when he wanted to bring you back.
From there, he wouldn't care much about the matter of destiny, but definitely with the prophecy of the Knights of the Apocalypse around, he saw the perfect moment to start his plan.
NOW, during this time, Arthur became the version we know of 4kota, deceptively friendly but very lethal, more sadistic, but more relaxed so to speak.
He sees this situation as even fun now (being completely infected by chaos), and he honestly can't wait to have you back and see what trick you had up your sleeve.
The Knights know it, "Merlin" knows it, all of "Camelot" knows it, he misses you. and he is anxious for you to return to him.
He was definitely anxious because you did a good job hiding for so long, he lost track of you many times (it's not like his Knights had it easy), but at least now that he's sure where you're going, he can send someone who KNOWS finish the job at once.
After a while, you arrived in Liones, determined to reach Meliodas, when you saw the vision...
you being taken to Camelot by a knight named IronSide.
damn.
change of plans.
There wouldn't be time to find what you originally came looking for, but maybe you could warn them about Arthur, change things, for the better.
but it would be difficult to keep a low profile, especially knowing that Arthur's Knight would be lurking. It took you a while to get close.
Meliodas was happy to see you after so long! but he definitely got serious when you said your reason for coming was for Arthur. that he was planning something against Liones, that he had to protect the children from the prophecy (especially Percibal).
and not kill Arthur before you could find a cure for him...
It was at that moment that Megagaland attacked.
oh geez, you have to hide again. you thought and went to your current hiding place.
You weren't that surprised to see that someone was already there...
Ironside...
Arthur could feel when you and Ironside entered Camelot, he could only think 'finally'.
finally someone does their job well, finally everything is back to normal-
You are finally back with him.
The feeling he had before of anticipation becomes more palpable, he is anxiously waiting for you to get to where he is, in the throne room.
and he feels calm, knowing that now he not only has the tactical advantage in this little war, but that he has his dear companion with him. What more could he ask for?
He's anticipating what he's going to say to you... after so much time.
Surprisingly you are also anticipating. You don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
You have closely followed the atrocious acts that Arthur has done in the past and continues to do. He is even willing to kill children in order to follow this "everlasting kingdom" for the love of God...
But you know he won't hurt you. He didn't do it before, he won't do it now. no matter how much it changes.
and even if it is difficult to admit. you miss him. He is your husband after all.
but you also miss how everything was before Chaos intervened.....how you would like to help him-
No, you're going to save him...somehow.
even if now you'll probably have to help him with your kaleidoscope...
is what you think as you go with Ironside to what appears to be the lair of the Knights of Chaos.
You (without Ironside, apparently) are transported to the throne room, and see, for the first time in years, Arthur.
He's barely changed physically, advantages of chaos, you suppose, he looks so deceptively innocent...
and meanwhile Arthur can only be grateful that you are finally here...
Do you have any idea how much you worried him when you left? with nothing to say, just leave... but you came back, he can't be mad at you, not when he's been waiting so long to have you this close again...
Far from being angry or minimally irritated with this "act of rebellion," he seems rather amused, even touched, as if what you had done was adorable...he seems happy.
and in some ways, it's contagious. You don't let your guard down, but you can allow yourself this little moment with your husband...
But when he stands up from his throne, he turns towards you and with an expression that reminds you of when everything was fine, he tells you:
-"welcome home, my queen"-
Shares, reglogs and comments are very welcome!
@cattivedonne i hope You like it✨thank You very much for the Request ❤️
Now i'm going to sleep bc i have doctor tomorrow morning😭

Games : 4koa/ 7ds
Characters : Arthur, Fake Merlin/Giant Oc
Merlin..." Arthur rasped with tired eyes and a worn out smile on his lips .
He fell into the mage's arms, wrapping his arms around her tightly, hiding his face in the crook of her neck like a child .
Her arms stayed frozen against her sides for a moment before she raised them, her delicate hands resting against his muscled back.
" The knight of Death...Ironside's son- or- whatever the hell he is- is dead ."
" And if he's dead that means that the Four knights of the apocalypse are no more, which means that I won't die, which means that we can continue eradicating the rest of the non human races in peace !" Arthur as his voice pitched hysterically and his grip around Merlin tightened painfully.
He pulled his head away from Merlin's neck to look at her face to face, his bright purple eyes shining .
" Aren't you happy Merlin ?" He asked, his voice soft and small
Merlin looked down at Arthur blankly, trying to summon in vain an ounce of affection for the man nestled in her arms .
Yet nothing surfaced .
Not a smidge of love or fondness or tenderness .
Nothing .
Nothing except bone chilling fear.
Despite how soft this man acted with her, the sheer amount of bloodlust and cruelty she felt from him made Merlin terrified to go against his will .
That's why she said these following words .
" Of course I'm happy your maje- Arthur ." Merlin said giving the king a smile .
A small smile .
Soft .
Not to wide .
No teeth .
The smile she always made .
The smile Arthur had forced her to perfect .
The smile that was her's.
The smile that he had carved into her brain .
Merlin's smile .
Merlin's smile.
Arthur frowned at her for a moment before falling into her arms again.
" Merlin ? "
" Yes your- Arthur ?"
" Aren't I a good king Merlin ?" He simpered .
Fuck no .
" Yes you are Arthur ."
" All the non human races deserve to die, don't they ?"
No they don't!
" Yes they do Arthur ."
" And Meliodas and the rest of his pathetic group do deserve to die, right ? "
THE ONLY ONE WHO SHOULD DIE IS YOU!
" Yes they do Arthur ." She repeated her voice soft yet devoid of any warmth, only coldness .
The king stiffened in her arms, pulling out of the cook of her neck again to look firmly into her blank golden eyes .
" I'm a good person aren't I Merlin ?"
YOU ARE THE SCUM OF THE EARTH
" Yes you are Arthur. "
Arthur blinked his purple eyes slowly, before resting his forhead's against Merlin's, looking at her intensley with a soft smile.
" Do you love me Merlin ?"
I HATE YOU, YOU MONSTROSITY OF EVIL-
" Yes I do ."
Merlin spat out, violently.
As soon as the words left her mouth Merlin knew she fucked up.
Her voice was too cold, her smile was too forced and even her embrace was too rigid.
She broke character .
And if she broke character the game was over.
And if the game was over-
Arthur's bright eyes turned dark as soft smile on his lips slipped off .
He pulled out of Merlin's arms abruptly, slapping her hands away as she tried to pull him back in.
" No-no-no-no... I'm sorry-I'm sorry-" She squeaked trying to appease Arthur but it was too late.
Arthur sighed, irritated, ruffling his hand through his messy locks, shooting her a terrifying glare.
" You really had to mess up the smile huh ? I thought we had done enough lessons on it ." He said, walking towards her slowly as she backed away like a scared animal .
" I-im sorry-"
" But I guess you Giants have a harder time understanding basic sentences ." He continued, ignoring her, pulling his sword out of its sheathe.
" I'm really sorry-"
"You know I really liked that fairy better, she played the game really well until the end and if it wasn't for that little brat Guinevere you wouldn't be here in her stead..."
" PLEASE- Merlin tried falling to her knees, shielding her face her hands.
"...But sadly you'll have to pay for her foolishness-" Arthur said ignoring her cries, raising his sword-
" PLEASE ARTHUR DON'T, IT'S ME, IT'S MERLIN !" Merlin she tried, she begged, trying to convince hin to spare her life.
It was the wrong move
Arthur's purple eyes hardened, as he glared at the woman writing on the floor in front of him .
"No, no you're not ." He whispered quietly before driving his sword into Merlin's neck
The women let out a gurgle before falling back, falling onto the cool tiles with a heavy thud .
Purple smoke oozed out of her corpse replacing Merlin's dead body with the one of a female giant's .
Doris of the Giant Clan laid patheitcally in a pool of her own blood with tears running down her cheeks as she felt the last remnants of strength drain her body .
The last thing that she would ever see would be Arthur's guards bringing him yet another non human creature to transform into Merlin and pupeteer in his sick, sick, game .
She let put a strangled sob before her heavy eyelids shut and she drifted into unconsciousness.
The last thing that she would ever hear were these four.fucking.cursed.words-
" Don't you agree...Merlin?"
- Magnificent.M
Idk what the fuck I wrote and the ending was lazy as shit, but I just wanted to write about Arthur's victims and how he acts around them and vice versa 🫠🫠
