~ Y/N's POV ~

When I woke up, it was still bright outside, but this side of the castle was cast in shade.

It must be around sunset.

I threw the blankets off of me, and checked my bandages. It looked like someone replaced them while I was sleeping, and that someone was probably Techno. I looked around and saw him sleeping in an armchair on the right of the bed with bandages lying at his feet.

I stretched my arms, grasping at empty air, before stretching my legs. Well, my one good leg.

"Ranboo?" I quietly called out.

He teleported in a moment later.

"Can you get me some crutches or something? I want to work on walking normally again, but for now I need to put my weight on something."

He replied, "I'll see what I can do." Before teleporting out again.

I shuffled myself to the right side of the bed, near where Techno was, and poked him.

"Techno? Techno wake up!" I quietly said.

He opened his eyes a little bit, before closing them again. "I'm tired, what do you want?"

I ignored his complaining. "Didn't King Phil say he had some business stuff to discuss with me? I want to get that over with and then see my village again."

He groaned, "does this mean I have to carry you around everywhere? It's tiring."

Just then, as if on cue, Ranboo teleported in with two crutches, and handed them to me.

"Nope, thanks Ranboo." I nodded at him.

"Cmon, we don't have all evening." I prodded him again but with the crutch this time, before standing up and putting my weight on the crutches. Meanwhile, Techno went over to the dresser and grabbed the mask that was sitting there. It was strange; now that I knew what he looked like he almost seemed like a stranger with the mask. Then, we both walked out into the hallways where he led the way.

Eventually, we stopped at a grand door about 9 feet tall, where Techno knocked. Once we heard a "come in" from the other side, he opened the door.

It was huge; from wall to wall were bookshelves with ancient looking books on them. I could very well read all of them if I so wished to. And in the back was a grand desk. Sat there was the King, I assume he was signing papers and doing...other king stuff.

He put his pen down, addressing us. "So, we finally ready? Take a seat."

We nodded, and sat on the other side of his desk where a few empty seats lay in wait.

"First things first, as said by Techno here, if you so choose you may become the king's advisor. So, would that be something you're interested in?" He looked me straight in the eyes the entire time, and I felt that it was almost a challenge. You know what they say; fight fire with fire.

"Absolutely, your majesty." I said, staring back.

Phil chuckled, clearly amused by this, and handed me a paper to sign. Once I had done so, he took the paper back.

"I apologize if this causes any inconvenience to you, however your people have to live here now. Unless you want to continue living in that death trap..." I shook my head no. "Then they won't be getting any special treatment once at least 60% of the adults have decent paying jobs. Until then, we will supply them with food, water, education, and housing. Sound ideal?"

I nodded my head, unsure of what to say, and signed the other paper he gave me.

"Thank you, you may go if you please." He said after overlooking the paperwork.

Me and Techno stood up, and walked out the door of the study.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "want to go find your village? They'll be happy to see you."

"Yeah, that would be great." I replied. The castle started feeling too cramped, I needed to get out....

Next thing I know, I was picked up again and my crutches fell to the floor.

"Cmon, you're so slow. I'll carry you down if I need to." He laughed, clearly noticing my previous tension.

I smiled and giggled with him. "Alright, take me into the sunset my prince!"

And with that, Techno descended the stairs with me in his arms.
