Shark Prince With Sharp Armor (Sidon X Reader)

Chapter 40: Acceptance

1 year later...

Aurelia's POV

"And now... we are proud to announce that Princess Aurelia of Zora's Domain is one of our royal guard captains!" Link read from his scroll, and everyone cheered as I walked up the stairs to recieve my sword. I have never felt prouder than I did in that moment.

Once I reached the top, Link handed me my sword, which I raised with a smile above the crowd. Zelda walked over and handed me a royal blue cape, with golden linings and designs all over it.

"Congratulations, Aurelia." Link whispered to me after a few seconds. "Hey look at that, you're the same age I was." He gave me a small nudge with his elbow and I laughed, looking out across the crowd for my parents. Who were beaming as they waved up at me, and I waved down to them. Even Savion was waving. Right after my announcement when they moved on to the next, I rushed down to see them.

"We're so proud of you, Aurelia." My mother said as I sat down in between them. "We knew you had it in you." My father kissed my head and Savion hugged my from where he was sitting and I patted his head. And even after recieving my position, Kyle became co-captain to my group.

"So, co-captain," I started once I met up with him afterwards. "How does it feel to be right below a queen?"

"For the record, captain," He coughed. "I'm beside you according to King Link. And I'm pretty sure you're a princess, not a queen yet."

"Crown princess will do, Sir Kyle. Crown princess will do just fine." I smiled, and he rolled his eyes a bit.

"Fair enough, Lady Aurelia."

Muzu's POV

"Alright Savion. Here's your dinner." I served the young prince his dinner and he clapped a few times. Since Aurelia wanted to take the night to get to know her new group, _____ and Sidon decided to spend their evening up by the reservoir. So Bazz and I stayed with Savion.

"And your drink, my prince." Bazz jokingly and dramatically bowed, making the toddler giggle as he went to take a bite of his fish.

"When did Lady __-" Bazz cleared his throat, interrupting me. "When did _____ say she and Sidon would be back?"

"That's better." Bazz smiled, and I gave him a look as I waited for an answer. "Oh, well, she said they'd probably be back in a few hours. Likely just in time to put Savion to bed."

"Good. I have to attend a group session with Seggin and Trello by then. Would you like to join us, Bazz?"

"Wait, you really want me to come?" He tilted his head, looking a bit surprised as his eyes went wide.

"It's um... by your father's request." I coughed, and he laughed.

"Suure." He said with a smile. "Admit it, Muzu, we're friends." He poked my fin a bit and I shook my head with a smile.

"Whatever you want to believe." I shrugged, and he smiled more and leaned over Savion's chair.

"See Savion? I knew I'd finally get Muzu's approval." Savion giggled again as he sipped his water, and I smiled back with a light chuckle. "As much as I'd love to come to the group, I can't tonight. I promised I'd be watching out for Aurelia when she returned home."

"Well, any other time you'd like to come you are invited." I told him, and he nodded and sat down next to the prince.

Your POV

"Well Sidon," You started as you sat down on the picnic blanket. "You really did pick a beautiful night." He sat down next to you and you leaned against his chest.

"I'm glad." He wrapped an arm around you and handed you your sandwich before grabbing his own. "Beautiful, just like my lady." He kissed your hand and you sighed softly, enjoying the gently breeze in your hair and the familiar scent of the reservoir.

"Mmmm, these are good." You hummed as you bit into the sandwich. Sidon laughed lightly and looked down at his own, not being able to get the question floating in his mind off of it, so he let out a deep sigh before turning back to you.

"_____, I've been... meaning to ask you something." He started, and you swallowed and looked up at him.

"Yes?" You asked, licking your lips. He chuckled and brushed a strand of hair behind your pointed hylian ear before resting his hand on your shoulder.

"Will you... will you marry me?" This sent a blush and a look of confusion across your face as you repositioned yourself to face the red shark.

"What?" You tilted your head and he looked out at the lake, and you could tell he was figuring out on how to word an addition.

"I meant... again, really, I... well, I heard some couples renew their wedding vows sometimes to represent a deepening or maturing in the relationship." He said, and you smiled a bit to this. "It's alright if you don't want to do this, though. I just figured since it's nearing our twentieth anniversary, it would be a nice way to celebrate."

"It is a bit to think about, but..." You breathed.

"But...?" He bit his lip, anxious about your next sentence.

"I do like the idea. And gods do I love you, Sidon." You cupped his cheeks, pulling him in a bit.

"I love you too, _____." He closed the gap, kissing you deeply for a few long seconds.

"So," You smiled, and he smiled nervously but happily back. "Yes, Sidon. I'll marry you again."
