All hail

"All hail Queen Nihachu as the new ruler of the Esempi" Dream shouted placing the crown on top of Nikkis head as the girl tried to stop tears spilling down her cheeks. Eventually giving up and letting them roll down her face freely, not that it made a difference everyone in here already knew that she didn't want too be Queen or even in the Esempi's land she wanted to go home.

Wilbur was sat at his desk planning for the festival to celebrate L'manberg's new found freedom when he heard the news of his close friend. Eret had burst in panicking when he told Wilbur about Nikki vinegar missing and after a small investigation of Wilbur's he'd figured out she was kidnapped. Nikki had joined L'manberg a few years ago and she was the best healer they had and often joined Wilbur and a few others at their nightly campfire. More recently she and Will had been getting close and had been spending more time together, mostly talking about their enemies but sometimes in the early hours of the morning they would talk about their childhood and future's. These conversations where the simple break from planning a revolution that Wilbur needed every now and then.

"Hey Nikki! How are you?" Eret asked as they happily walked into the small bakery that Nikki had recently set up
"I'm great Eret, thanks for asking how are you?" Nikki replied turning to face Eret with a smile
"I'm good, I'm good. Could I have two loaves of bread please?" Eret asked happily
"Of course, I've just baked a batch. What are you planning for today?" Nikki began making polite conversation as she pulled out two warm loaves of bread and placing them in a large brown bag passing them to Eret.
"See you soon Eret!" Nikki shouted as she waved them off.
Sighing she turned back to her counter and began making another batch of dough, methodically hand mixing the batter until she heard the bell and a group of footsteps signifying she had more customers. Nikki decided to pour the dough into a bowl to prove before placing a tea towel over the top, she spun around to face her next lot of customers with a smile that immediately faltered when she saw the goggles, bandanna and that mask.

"Your not welcome here." Nikki spat defensively at the intruders
"I hope you don't treat all your customers like this." Sapnap laughed as the woman stared him down
"Only the ones who try too kill my friends on a regular basis." Nikki retorted causing Dream to let out a loud sarcastic laugh at the woman.
"Make this easy Nikki, just come with us." Dream asked the woman
"What? I'm not going anywhere with you." Nikki said her voice getting louder as George and Sapnap began walking towards her and she backed up into the counter. "S-stay away."
"She makes a very good point" Sapnap joked as he took another step closer
"Just c'mon Sap I'm tired" George wined, clearly bored of this supposedly easy task.
"N-no g-get away from me!" Nikki shouted her hand desperately searching the counter behind her for her bread knife then she felt the cold metal and moved her hand down slightly finding the handle. With one more step the two enemies where now within touching distance or in this case stabbing distance as Nikki launched at Sapnap aiming for his arm not wanting to fatally injure anyone.
"BITCH" Sapnap shouted a Nikki's knife stabbed his left wrist.
Suddenly full of energy George jumped at Nikki grabbing the knife-wielding hand and taking away the blade before pushing her against the counter and wrapping her arms with thick rope to stop her escaping. Sapnap clutched his wrist tightly as he grabbed the tea-towel and wrapped it around the wound, almost instantly dying it a permanent crimson red. Dream sat at one of the tables set up inside the bakery for the customers, eating a piece of the cake Nikki had baked earlier whilst writing on a formal looking document before standing up and wiping the crumbs off his lap and leaving the stack of paper behind as he walked over to the restraint and struggling baker. Nikki didn't even feel the blunt end of a sword hitting the lower part of her head knocking her unconscious but she did hear Dreams voice "Sweet dreams your highness"

Nikki woke to the sound of distant dripping and muffled voices, gently opening her eyes she looked at the cell she seemed to be in. Three of the walls were a solid grey concrete and the wall she was facing was made of thinly spaced iron bars, lifting her head up she saw her wrists chained to the wall above her. Nikki flinched at the sudden loud noise they made as she pulled on them, the talking had gone silent quickly being replaced by footsteps. Dream and Sapnap appeared on the opposite side of the barred wall Sapnap smirking at her and Dreams face still covered by that stupid mask.
"Look who finally woke up" Sapnap laughed before turning and whispering something to Dream then walking back the way he came as Dream opened up the cell door.
"Hello Nikki, how are you feeling?" Dream asked as he crouched down in front of Nikki, eyes scanning her body checking for any new injures
"What do you want from me?" Nikki asked her eyes beginning to tear up as she desperately tried to blink them away to not show weakness
"I want a lot of things from you if I'm honest." Dream laughed before continuing "I mean you have everything don't you?" Dream sighed as he stood up and walked up to her and grabbed her left hand from above her pulling off the engagement ring Puffy had given her a few months ago before they'd left to be on different sides of the same war.
"No!" Nikki cried desperate to keep the ring but it was to late it had already left her finger and Dream was now admiring it
"Puffy? Hmm that's why she's been acting so strange lately I'll have to punish her for befriending the enemy." Dream talked to himself seemingly forgetting about Nikki as he read the name inscribed on the underside of the ring before placing it in his pocket "anyway I'm here to give you an offer to save everyone and stop this war."
"Stop the war?" Nikki echoed unsure "Wilbur said you finally reached peace?"
"Oh we did but it's shall we say a less public feud now?" Dream smirked
"And I can stop it?"nikki asked
"Yes it's very simple, I need you to become Queen of the Esempi"

Fundy had just finished mining and decided to go and grab a slice of cake and coffee with Eret at Niki's bakery as well as talk to her for a bit. Soon he and Eret arrived at the bakery the door opening and making the bell noise like always but this wasn't like any other trip here there was blood in the floor and the counter like a fight had happened, a pile of paper sat at one of the tables and most importantly there was no Nikki. Walking over to the stack of paper Eret read the title aloud "The Esempi's and L'manberg's peace treaty final signing, meeting is to be held in a weeks time with President Wilbur Soot and Vice President Tommy innit and Queen Nihachu and King Dream..."
"What? Dreams got Nikki? An-and she's the Queen? Are they married?" Fundy questioned unsure if he wanted the answers
"No, no they can't get married Nikki's engaged." Eret muttered in response because although no one in L'manberg knew who Nikki's other half was they all knew that they were getting married the day the war ended.
"Do you think that will stop Dream?" Fundy's voice wavered
"I-i aren't sure" Eret sighed in defeat before starting again "but I do know that we need to tell Wilbur now"
