    "So now what?" Ed turned to Peter as the six of them stared at the thousands of zombies in their yard.
    "It's kinda unsettling if you look them in the eye" Susan grimaced
    "Kinda unsettling in general" Enne shivered as they all finally tore their eyes away from their new army.
     "You need to go deal with king Martin" Nia pat Peter on the shoulder and turned to get breakfast and the rest went along.
   
    "Peter! You're all right!" Laurie exclaimed running into his arms
    "Uh yea" Peter said awkwardly patting her back and glancing at Nia, who smirked and sipped her drink.
     "Yea we're all doing fine thanks for asking" Ed chimed in waving his arm to get her attention. The girls laughed and rolled their eyes at the whole exchange, not too worried about how Laurie's acting.
     "Well of course I care about you all, but Peter is my betrothed"
     "Yea thats not happening anymore" Nia cut in and gestured to the window overlooking the zombie army.
     "But the alliance?"
     "Our kingdoms can have an alliance but it will not be sealed by marriage" Peter explained in his kingly voice.
     Lau looked shocked, then devastated then finally settled on furious. She whipped her head towards Nia who was eating toast, "This is all your fault!"
     "huh"
     "Lau I thought we settled that we didn't have feelings for each other?" Peter asked confused at the girls rage.
     "That was before, when I knew we were going to get married"
     "You knew? You knew marriage was going to be the only way to seal the marriage, and you didn't say anything?" Peter asked now getting angry.
    The five others looked on at this whole exchange in shock, "should we do something?" Susan whispered
     "God no" Nia whispered back, "pass the butter"
     "Of course I knew! I was the one who told my father that's what we should do!"
    "Why?!"
     "Because we were in love Peter! We are in love, you're just blinded by that witches magic"
     "Get out." Peter said sternly, "and tell your father that conditions will be set for the alliance by me, no more negotiations."
   Lau left in a dramatic flare of skirts and curses while the whole table sat in shock and awkward silence.
     "Well then" Lucy cleared her throat, "I'm just going to eat breakfast in the garden"
      "Sounds great I'm in" Susan replied quickly as the two grabbed their plates and left.
      Nia looked at Enne, "talk to him" whispered Enne
    "Fuck no, thank you very much." Nia whispered back and got up to leave. Enne grabbed her arm and pushed her towards the king then grabbed Edmunds hand and pulled him out of the room.
   
    "That was uh intense" Nia laughed awkwardly as she walked over to him. Peter stared at the door Laurie left through, not moving or speaking. Nia placed her hand on his shoulder, but he shrugged it off and left.
    Nia sighed, well that went well. She walked over to the window to look at the zombies again, It may not seem like it, but you guys have it easy. She took another bite of her toast before heading off to the war strategy meeting.

    "This is gunna fuck up whatever they had going on" Edmund groaned as he and Enne lounged on the floor in his room.
    "Peter and Nia? Why would it fuck it up?"
     "Peter was so in love with Lau, he would literally do anything for her"
     "So? He kicked her out because he loves Nia, how is that bad?"
     "He's going to get super in his head and start questioning his feelings for Nia. Trust me I know him, he does this all the time, he's gunna start pushing her away and then they'll be back to where they started"
    Enne sighed, "I don't think that'll happen" she brushed her hand through the front of his hair, "I have a feeling they'll be ok. Wow we definitely ship them too hard"
    Ed laughed "Well its fun, but they got nothing on us" hetook her hand into his, the two stared into each other's eyes for a moment, smiling. Enne moved to lean on him.
   "Wanna go to town today, get our minds off the important stuff?"
   "Sounds good to me" Ed smiled and booped her nose.

    "Are you kidding me? That idea is so stupid are you even using that tiny brain of yours"
     "I am the High King you cannot speak to me that way"
    Nia reeled back, not expecting that response, "What the fuck is up your ass today" This was not going well. Nia told herself that she'd be more patient with Peter because of that whole scene, but that has long gone out of the window.
    "Guards, I believe she does not belong in official meetings" Everyone in the room was shocked, no one moved a muscle.
   The girl was fuming now "Don't fucking bother I'll show myself out. Glad to see you're still a self righteous fucking brat who can't take criticism."

  "Hey what're you doing?" Enne asked as she and Ed walked up to the training area.
    "Well Peter was being a dick in the meeting so I politely left and decided to take out my anger on this dummy over here" Nia said pointing at the training dummy she was stabbing.
    "I don't know what's going on in that stupid head of his" She vented as she started slashing the dummy again. "We're almost in the midst of a war and he's choosing now to be a little fucking bitch"
     Enne and Edmund exchanged a look and backed up as the arm of the dummy flew their way.
     "Talk to him later tonight, it'll be fine" Ed brushed off dragging Enne away.
     "Hey you wanna spar with me" Nia asked a fearful looking guard as Enne and Edmund excused themselves.
    "Byee have fun on your dateee" Nia grinned at the two as she paused her training. Enne laughed and stuck out her tongue at her friend, "make sure to use protection" Nia called again before going back to fighting.
