Another one for the collaborate project with gabbia and aiyon0206 (and more artists :) )

Haven’t draw a more serious chibi stuff so…

And I’ve always want some stories of two Kings fighting and the loser will be the winner’s consort *hides*

That’s such an adorable idea *_*

But if they use their powers, it’s no contest! Charles wins! So maybe they each choose a champion to fight for them? It looks like Raven and Alex are each willing to cross swords and battle on her/his monarch’s behalf…

Or Erik has the ability to block telepathy in random span of time/interval, meanwhile Charles has to dodge everything metal throwing at him? XD So they can have heated mental ~~sex~~ battle! ;D

They probably resort into this form of battle because Charles doesn’t want to do large scale army battle between countries. Both sides 1-on-1 for 5 rounds and see who wins in the end? XD

Once upon a time, the Xaviers of Graymalkin negotiated with the Lehnsherrs of Genosha to create a detente between their neighboring nations, which otherwise seemed destined to go to war. Both agreed to respect one another’s borders, to engage in trade, and aid each other against common enemies. This truce might have been achieved through intermarriage between their ruling families, but unusually, the Xaviers claimed it was unjust to ask their princes and princesses to marry strangers, and contended that arguments over where to raise and how to educate the children of such unions might endanger the treaty in the future.

Instead, then, they proposed the Engagement. Every four years, the scion of the Xaviers would face their counterpart from the Lehnsherrs in combat. The winner ruled, and took the loser as their consort. While neither monarch had ultimate power— both mediated by councils— the victor of the Engagement could wield considerable influence in their time.

But since the balance of power could shift at any moment, both nations were circumspect in their dealings with one another, and if the winner of the Engagement was wise, they would treat their consort well, as they never knew whether, in four years’ time, they might find themselves consort to the ruler in their turn.

The agreement hardened into tradition, and thence into sport. Erik Lehnsherr had trained for the Engagement all his life, and waited impatiently for his counterpart, Charles Xavier, to come of age and meet him in the arena. At last the day came. People from all over Genosha and Graymalkin filled the stadium, already cheering for the competitors.

Erik paced the ring, waiting. He and Charles had met as boys, had even been friendly. But when training for the Engagement began in earnest, Erik’s taskmaster forbade any contact with the Xaviers. Erik remembered Charles as a cheerful, stubborn ten-year-old who, even then, had inherited the Xavier propensity for talk over action. There was no doubt in Erik’s mind that he would win this Engagement.
