My Little Menace
"He is feared by all. She fears no one — except when he says nothing."
> In the farthest stretch of the known world, beyond rivers inked in blood and forests thick with forgotten screams, there lies a mansion where time stands still. The sky never lightens, the winds whisper names that were buried centuries ago, and no map dares mark the land...
✧ Known by many names: The Phantom Sovereign. The Shadow Monarch. The Man With No Mercy.
✧ To the world: A ghost cloaked in silk and blood.
✧ To his enemies: A legend you don't live long enough to meet.
✧ To one small girl with too much sass and no fear?
Just... “Auren.”
He doesn’t yell. He doesn’t chase.
He just stares. And people drop to their knees—out of fear, guilt, or because the air itself forgets how to breathe.
But beneath the cold storm of his eyes lies a secret even his generals dare not speak aloud.
✧ No name on record. No birth certificate. No one even knows where she came from.
✧ Age: Unknown. Size: Tiny. Power: Infinite (especially her voice volume).
✧ She rides wolves, bites ambassadors, wears a tiara made of stolen spoons, and once declared war on the moon.
✧ Calls him “old man”, “grump king”, or just “Auren” — especially when she’s winning an argument.
But when she breaks something sacred…
When his silence lingers too long…
When that sharp stare rests only on her, with disappointment like thunder in his gaze…
My Little Menace - 1
Chapter 1: "The Silence Before the Storm"
Hollowspire Manor, 5:03 AM. The storm hasn’t started yet. But the air knows it’s coming.
Auren
The east wing reeks of betrayal.
Vayne [Head Guard]
We noticed the blood trails at dawn, Lord Vaelthorne. It leads out beyond the gate. No signs of forced entry.
Auren
It wasn’t someone who forced their way in.
Auren
It was someone... who thought they were clever enough to leave quietly.
Kael [Shadow Unit Commander]
We’ll find them, my lord.
Auren
Let them believe they escaped. A hunted rat is more useful than a dead one.
Vayne [Head Guard]
As you wish....
Kael [Shadow Unit Commander]
Sir, what about the girl? Should we alert her? She—
Auren
She’s still asleep. Let her dream a little longer.
Vayne [Head Guard]
But what if—
Auren
Do you want to be the one to explain to My Little Menace that someone dared bleed in her hallway? *coldly*
Kael [Shadow Unit Commander]
Gods, no.... Last time she found a fingerprint on her mirror, she locked me in the chandelier.
Vayne [Head Guard]
She bit the court mage for sneezing near her pastry.
Auren
I’ll wake her. Myself.
[Footsteps echo through the endless marble corridor. Each one is softer than the last.]
[The door to a golden room creaks open — carved with glittery letters: “Little Menace’s Lair! STAY OUT OR BE OBLITERATED”]
Auren
You sleep like the dead, little tyrant.
He stops beside a small bed overflowing with stuffed dragons, cursed dolls, and snack wrappers labeled “Royal Snack — DO NOT TOUCH.”
Auren
*Brushes her hair from her cheek*
Auren
Still warm.. Still mine.
She stirs slightly, curling up tighter like a kitten with claws.
Little Menace
Ghhrrmmn… not the royal math scroll again…
Auren
It’s not scrolls today, troublemaker.
Auren
There was blood in the east wing.
Little Menace
*Still half asleep*
Little Menace
Whose? Wasn’t mine. Not my problem. Let me dream in peace, old man.
Auren
You’re drooling on a declaration of war.
She opens one eye. Then both. Very slowly.
Little Menace
So? Let war wait. My beauty sleep doesn’t.
Auren
You’ve been asleep for thirteen hours.
Little Menace
Exactly. I’m behind schedule.
Auren
If I don’t lift you now, are you going to summon that pathetic thunder spell again?
Little Menace
Don’t tempt me, old man. I’ve upgraded. Now it also messes with hairlines. Want to lose yours?
Auren
Bold. For someone so easily carried.
Auren
*Picks her up gently*
*She squeaks, kicks once, then flops dramatically into his arms like she was always meant to be there.*
Little Menace
Ughhh. Why do you carry me like I’m five?
Auren
Because you act like you’re three.
And because I missed this.
Little Menace
Hmph. That’s not how monarchy works, Papa.
*Her voice softens on that last word. Just a little. Quiet enough to disappear if he weren’t listening for it*
Auren
That’s exactly how our monarchy works.
And with that, the Shadow Monarch carries the chaos-child down the dark corridor…
Toward the throne. Toward the storm. Toward whatever dared bleed inside his walls.
My Little Menace - 2
Hollowspire Manor — Main Throne Hall, 5:32 AM
Auren
*Steps into the hall, still carrying the half-asleep chaos in his arms*
Auren
Bring me the report. And don’t let your boots scuff the marble — it’s still wet with regret.
Little Menace
*Yawns dramatically in his arms*
Little Menace
Ughhh I can still smell anxiety in the air. Who messed up this time?
Auren
Someone bled in your hallway. I assume you’d like to speak to them... eventually?
Little Menace
If they bled, they already lost. I only speak to the dramatic survivors.
Vayne [Head Guard]
My Lord, we found the source. One of the outer unit spies went rogue. Tried sneaking something out. A scroll... encrypted.
Little Menace
*Perks up in Auren’s arms*
Little Menace
Oooh? A mystery? A scandal? With betrayal toppings??
Auren
Tch. You get that obsession from your mother.
Little Menace
She had taste. You have... control issues.
Auren
And you have detention in five minutes if that scroll leads to the archives.
Little Menace
*Wiggles out of his arms and lands gracefully like a smug cat*
Little Menace
Fine. Then I want my throne cleaned. With rose water.
Little Menace
And all guards must wear pastel masks until I say otherwise. I’m declaring today a ‘Soft Vengeance’ holiday.
Vayne [Head Guard]
What is 'Soft Vengeance'?
Little Menace
It means everyone who betrayed me is banned from dramatic exits until I get to monologue first.
Auren
*Sits on his throne, tired but amused*
Auren
Kael. Put that on the official calendar.
Kael [Shadow Unit Commander]
*Already scribbling on a floating scroll*
Kael [Shadow Unit Commander]
Right below ‘Sassy Execution Monday’?
Little Menace
Exactly. And next to ‘Brat Amnesty Hour’.
Auren
*Leans back and watches her storm toward the center of the throne hall, silk robe dragging like it owns the place*
Auren
You truly believe you’re untouchable, don’t you, menace?
Little Menace
*Turns, smirks dangerously*
Little Menace
Not untouchable. Just... inconvenient to punish.
Auren
*Raises an eyebrow, voice calm but sharp*
Auren
Careful. Even inconvenient things can be locked in a tower.
Little Menace
*Whispers mockingly to Kael*
Little Menace
He says that every week. I think the tower’s actually a snack pantry.
Kael [Shadow Unit Commander]
*Trying not to laugh*
Kael [Shadow Unit Commander]
There was a cookie trail the last time I patrolled it.
Auren
*Pinches the bridge of his nose*
Auren
One of you will cry by sunset. I guarantee it.
Little Menace
*Grins, flicks a tiny flame off her fingertip*
Little Menace
Bet it won’t be me, Papa.
The great doors creak again. A hush falls.
A battered scroll wrapped in black silk is placed before Auren.
Vayne [Head Guard]
The stolen message. It’s written in the old tongue. None of us could read it.
Little Menace
*Gasps. Eyes light up like mischief incarnate*
Little Menace
Give. Me. That. NOW.
Auren
*Snatches it before she does*
Auren
Ah ah. Not until you eat. You forget your body is twelve.
Little Menace
My brain is seventeen and a half. Emotionally? Ageless.
Auren
*Hands scroll to Kael*
Auren
Lock this up. She reads one word and we’ll be cursed for a decade.
Kael [Shadow Unit Commander]
Noted. Also, she renamed all the dragons in the west wing. Again.
Little Menace
What, they like my names! 'Sir Wiggleburn' has vibes.
Auren
*Sighs, pinches the bridge of his nose again*
Auren
Send word to the High Table.
Auren
There’s a traitor loose, my daughter’s renaming monsters, and it’s not even breakfast.
Little Menace
*Winks dramatically at him*
Little Menace
Welcome to parenting me, Papa.
