I took a deep breath as my brother and I were announced. We walked in with our heads held high like our father has taught us. I scanned the room to see a lot of men standing around in masks. They all looked the same except one. He had his pink hair in a long braid on his right shoulder, he had a pig skull mask that suited him very well. I wonder why he chose that one? I thought to myself. My brother and I made it down the stairs to take our places next to our father. "Now that my heirs are here, let the ball commence." My father shouted everyone started to mingle with each other and I made my way around the ballroom talking to each suiter that stood before me. But I have yet to talk to the man I saw earlier with the pig mask. It's almost like he disappeared.

I frowned slightly when I noticed him out on the balcony. "Needed some air?" I asked as I joined him outside. He seemed startled for a second before speaking. "Crowds aren't my style" He said in a monotone voice. "My apologies, my father didn't inform me of any of this until this morning" I said trying to make conversation. I slowly walked up to him and stood on his left, I see him turn to look at me. "Oh, lady Y/N I didn't realize it was you" He tried to bow but I put my hands on his shoulders and he stood up. "Please sir, don't bow. I don't like it, it's too formal. I prefer a hand shake." I reached out my hand and he shook it gently. "You're really something aren't you?" He stated chuckling lightly.

"Forgive me but it's just my preference" He nodded his head. "No it's quite alright. My name is Technoblade, first born son of king Philza." He stated shifting awkwardly. "Ah yes, I have read many great things about you Technoblade. I must praise your fighting technique. I have never seen anything like it." I smiled softly. I saw a slight smirk on his face before it quickly flattened. "I'm glad my reputation doesn't scare you." He said, his monotone voice seems to mesmerize me.

It has reached the end of the night and my father has instructed all the guests to line up for me to make my decision. "Y/N please step forward and pick your suiter." My father instructed me and I got real nervous. My eyes looked over everyone and just like before none of them felt right. But then my eyes locked with Technoblade's and I just knew he was the right choice. "I choose" I started but my father told me to project more. " I choose Technoblade, first born son of king Philza" 

He shifted uncomfortably when my father motioned for him to come forward. "Take this to your father and make sure he signs it." Technoblade took the scroll my father handed him and bowed before taking his leave. Little by little everyone left the ballroom and I felt like a weight being lifted off my shoulders. I really didn't want to pick anyone. I have never wanted to be queen. I really do hate being a part of a royal family. I never really liked all this. I have always wanted to be a hunter living alone in the wilderness.

I thought to myself as I made my way to my room. As I was walking around the castle taking it in I hear a couple of guards talking. "I hear she chose the blood god as her suiter. I pray for the young princess, I fear she will be killed" Blood god? What do they mean? What I have read about Technoblade says nothing about him being the blood god. Is he really that dangerous that my own guards fear for me?  I was pulled from my thoughts by my brother shouting my name walking over to me looking angry.

"Clay what's the mat-" I was cut off by him grabbing my arm harshly and pulling me towards the dining room "What the hell were you thinking? Technoblade are you insane? He's a vicious killer, his nickname is the blood god for god's sake. You must be absolutely crazy if you think I'm letting this marriage happen." He gave me a scowl once he pushed me through the door.

"Clay, he was the only one at the ball that I felt like we understood each other, blood god or not this man is going to be my husband. You think I want to get married? Clay I'm doing this because I have to. Plus I will also benefit our kingdom by marrying king Philza's son. Do you realize how big their army is? Our army is nowhere near that size. If I marry Technoblade it means our kingdoms will be forced into an alliance." I said glaring daggers at my brother. 

"I have to get to bed, I meet my fiancé's parents in the morning" I said my face softening tears threatening to fall. I quickly made my way out of that room and up to my own. I requested to be alone tonight so I took my gown and corset off myself along with my jewlery. I was upset that my brother doesn't trust my judgement. I knew I would have to leave this castle when I married but I would like to do so with my brother happy for me. I sighed before getting ready for bed. As I lie down I can't help but think of Technoblade.

He seemed to not want to be at the ball. Maybe he shares my views about being born into a royal family. No that's ridiculous, I'm a strange woman. Many people would love to trade places with me. My mother once told me I was selfish for having these thoughts. I was born into privilege and I should be thankful that I wasn't born a commoner. That was my last thought before I drifted off to sleep.
