A/N: My oh my, this is a brand new story!

I'm going to upload the first two or three chapters over the course of this week. The first two are taken from Auradon Spell Book. I linked a couple of chapters together and turned it into an arc with continuation! This idea was taken from Savannah, who in January wanted a continuation of one of the dark Jevie chapters... it sparked this multi-chaptered story!

Go me, I mean I'm not writing my dissertation but never mind.

Enjoy!

So this is a re-upload of Auradon Spell Book Chapter 46: Arranged.

When his father had proudly proclaimed that he had arranged a marriage for Jay, the young villain's world had come to a shuddering stop.

"You've done what?" He glared at Jafar, but by now such looks were par for the course and the older man ignored his son's fury.

"I've arranged a marriage that can only bring us boons." Jafar was smiling widely, his hands resting across his now bloated belly.

"Without consulting me?!" Jay hissed.

"This princess is perfect…"

"A princess?!" Jay spat, "Just because you failed to marry a princess doesn't mean I should be forced to follow in your disastrous footsteps. Please remember it was I that secured Agrabah and conquered the Kingdom. Now you decide that I need a princess?!" Jay whirled on his father, his Sultan robes spinning dramatically. The rather heated argument was taking in the throne room that had once seen Jasmine and Aladdin proudly proclaim their love for one another. Now though it held Jafar's black moods and Jay's ruthless decisions.

There was a sharp intake of breath at Jay's words and Jafar narrowed his eyes at his son.

"Mind your words Jay." The father warned and the pair faced off. "This marriage will go ahead. I don't care what happens but this is incredibly lucrative for Agrabah, with the talks of takeovers happening across the kingdoms, I refuse for us to be left behind in the sand because you threw a tantrum." Jafar now loomed over his eldest son and Jay was forced to remember that his dad was still an incredibly wicked man, not just the podgy advisor that sat on his left side in court meetings.

~J.A~

The princess was beyond Jay's expectations. He had been expecting a pampered blonde princess, coiffed to within an inch of her life and complaining of the heat. Instead, he was given a dark haired, wicked eyed beauty to devour. She gave as good as she got though. While the respective elders had left the two to get to know each other, Jay had found that Princess Evie had a sharp tongue.

Jay may grant his father an apology in this case – if his marriage was to be to anyone, Princess Evie seemed like a very good choice. They stood on a balcony overlooking the streets of Agrabah and he watched her eyes wander over every inch of the city shown to them. She asked calculated questions, and it would seem that her knowledge of kingdoms was extensive and detailed.

"You're not what I expected." He ventured.

"You expected dumb. I used to be that way but someone taught me it far better to a rule a kingdom with fear than it is with love." Evie had not taken her eyes off the horizon. "Fear can only be executed properly if you know the masses strengths and weaknesses. I decided to stop playing dumb in order to rule my kingdom properly." She turned to him and Jay was taken aback by the ferocity in her eyes.

"That was also unexpected."

"One must be prepared for the unexpected. Look at my mother – she grew lazy in her dotage and lost my kingdom to Snow White, now I intend to back my inheritance and make sure the people of the Enchanted Forest know who their true Queen is." Her words, spoken with such force, made something warm well up in Jay's chest. "But that can only happen with our alliance. Are you willing to become Sultan of Agrabah and King of the Enchanted Forest?" She grinned up at him, holding her hand out.

"Only if you are prepared to exercise your will as Sultana and Queen." Jay covered her hand with his.

"I was born for this position." She smirked, squeezing his fingers slightly. "I suppose we should tell our parents that they can sign the alliance papers… after all you and I have kingdoms to conquer."
