Today's the day, Wilbur thought as he got ready for the day ahead, delicately placing his simple golden crown encrusted with burgundy jewels atop his mop of brown hair. Today I'll find her. Today is the day I change my life, and hers. I just have to find her. After grabbing his sword and placing it in his scabbard and headed off towards the training grounds connected to the castle.

"Good morning, Your Highness," one of the many guards that protected the royal family and their grounds greeted, bowing ever so slightly. Wilbur greeted the guard with a smile, eyes torn away by the sounds of his two-year younger brother, Dream, calling for him.

After the second eldest son of King Philza had excused himself from his exchange with the guard, he made his way towards where his four siblings were waiting for him. "C'mon, slowpoke!" the youngest, Tommy, exclaimed as Wilbur neared them.

"I'm coming, I'm coming," Wilbur huffed, chuckling slightly when Techno, the eldest son of the royal family, slapped the youngest upside the head. "Alright, I'm here. What are we doing today then?" Dream smirked, turning towards the archery range.

Wilbur's eyes widened. Contrary to popular belief amongst the town's folk, the musician of the royals was very, very bad at archery. Painfully bad if his siblings were being completely honest. Really, it was both Dream and Tubbo, Tommy's twin brother, who were the best at archery, always trying to out beat each other.

"Why archery?" Tommy groaned as they picked up the bows, each grabbing their quiver of arrows. As Wilbur was securing his, ignoring the argument going on between his four siblings, he noticed a tuft of h/c poking out. Looking up from where he was securing the buckle, brown eyes met e/c ones.

Wow, the love-struck prince thought as he watched the girl leave, her pastel baby blue dress billowing behind her as she went. She's stunning. I hope I get to see her again one day.

"Hey, Wilbur!" Techno called, snapping the boy out of his thoughts. "C'mon, we have to practice. Father's orders." Wilbur nodded, taking one last longing glance towards the direction of the mystery girl before following his older brother to where the other three were messing about. He kept forgetting they were still children.

A few months had passed since Wilbur had first caught a glance of the girl of his dreams. Unfortunately, he hadn't been able to see her much, but he might be in luck. His father was hosting a ball of sorts as to commemorate the second decade of his rule over their wonderful kingdom of Minecraftia. Everyone had been invited, including the mystery girl from all those months ago.

"You ready for tonight, boys?" their father asked as he helped Tommy with his hair. Ever since their mother had passed when the twins were three, Philza had really stepped up to the plate of being both their mother and father. The royal children would be lying if they said they didn't appreciate what the man did for them.

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be," Dream commented from where he was leant against the far wall. He was dressed in a dapper black suit jacket with gold hemming. Tubbo and Tommy wore similar things, only Tubbo's was white and Tommy's was red. Upon Dream's dirty blonde hair sat a golden crown encrusted with peridot. On Tubbo's mop of brown hair sat a golden crown encrusted with citrine. Upon Tommy's head sat a golden crown encrusted with ruby.

Wilbur glanced towards Techno, who had a black and red suit encrusted with gold, like his younger siblings, with a golden crown encrusted with edialitye. Wilbur had the same suit on as Techno, and had his golden crown encrusted with carnelian.

"You ready, boys?" Phil asked as he stood up from where he was helping Tubbo with his trouser leg since it had gotten caught. Again. The boys nodded and followed their father down the stairs and towards the ballroom where the ball was being held.

"Do you two think you'll find someone tonight?" Tommy asked quietly as they entered, everyone going quiet. Techno and Wilbur shrugged, both glancing around the room. Wilbur already knew who he wanted, the mystery girl who had so easily captured his heart.

An hour into the ball and Wilbur had yet to find said mystery girl. Did she even come to the ball? Eyes scanning the room, his brown gaze finally landed on the girl of his dreams. She's here! The love-struck prince thought excitedly as he elegantly made his way towards the beautiful lady.

"Good evening, M'Lady," the prince greeted with a slight bow, the girl seeming shocked before smiling back and curtseying. The lady was wearing a beautiful crimson red ball gown with dark red trimmings on the corset and the base of the dress which complemented her beautiful e/c eyes. "You look beautiful tonight."

"Thank you, Your Highness," she thanked, smiling with her hands resting on the front of her dress. "You look rather dashing yourself." Wilbur smiled slightly. "Oh! I'm Y/N, Your Highness."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Y/N," Wilbur murmured, kissing Y/N's hand. "I must ask, M'Lady, may I have this dance?"

"You may, M'Lord," Y/N granted, taking the brunette's hand, and allowed him to lead her to the middle of the room. As they danced, Wilbur couldn't help but notice how Y/N's eyes trailed to somebody else. After this happened a few times, the man turned them to see who she was looking at. His brother, Technoblade.

Soon enough the two parted ways and Wilbur made his way back to the royal table. When he got there, Techno was gone. As he looked onto the floor from his seat, he couldn't help the pang of heartbreak that stretched through his entire body. His brother was dancing with Y/N, and they both seemed to be having a lot of fun. More fun than the girl had had with him, that's for sure.

Weeks had passed – mere weeks – since the ball, and Techno had been acting rather... odd as of recently. It wasn't until the Friday dinner that the royal family found out why.

"Father," Techno spoke up, breaking the comfortable silence that they had been sitting in as they ate.

"Yes, Techno, son?" Phil asked, looking up from his soup.

Techno took a deep breath, glancing towards Wilbur for a second before looking back at their father. "I believe I have found someone to wed." the pig-hybrid announced, Tommy choking immediately.

"Oh?" Phil inquired with a knowing smirk. Wilbur felt a pit grow in his stomach. Is he going to ask Y/N's hand in marriage? "And who is the lucky lady? Or lucky gentleman?"

"Her name is Y/N," Techno replied, Wilbur's heart breaking. "I spent majority of the ball with her and we've been exchanging letters for the past week. I really do see a future with her, Father." Phil smiled, nodding.

"Then I shall allow it."

Wilbur's heart broke.

It had been a few months since the ball and since Techno's announcement. It hurt Wilbur to see Y/N happy with someone who wasn't him. He was head over heels for her, why didn't she feel the same? As the heartbroken boy watched as his older brother and the love of his life played in the castle gardens, he couldn't help the single tear that slipped down his cheek. He sighed, heading into his room, and grabbing his handcrafted guitar.

I guess I'm not the one...
