George woke up the next day when he was being held by some knights, his eyes widening about it. Is he dreaming? how did Pogtopia found out?

The king of L'manburg tried to struggle out their grips, but it was no use, they were forcing him to walk in the hallways, not saying anything. "Get off me!" George yells, but they wouldn't listen.

Once they reached the palace gates, George saw Dream, standing next to Karl and to a pink-haired guy with a crown and red cape- who had a pig mask
which is covering his face, only his mouth showing.

"D-dream what's going on?" George stutters as the younger walks up to him, wearing a straight look and has no emotions showing. "You're going home, to your own country. But we won't let L'manburg have a happy ending, instead, a bloody one." Georges heart dropped, "Besides, i don't need you here anymore so i told everyone in Pogtopia that i had you with me." how could Dream do this to him? he trusted him, with all his heart, accepted him and loved him, it felt like a millions of needles were pricking his heart. George felt so betrayed, what did he ever do to deserve this?

"Get in the carriage." Techno orders to George sternly, who had tears visible on his face as he looks at Dream. "I hope you made the right decision Dream, i hope i made you happy for a short time." Then George enters the carriage, Dream grips his fists, his tears falling down from his eyes as well but it was unnoticeable since he's wearing his mask.

But he has to do this, but then Dream remembers his conversation with Techno yesterday which eased his mindset and heart.

"What does that mean? tell me the story." Techno sounded calm but disappointed that Dream didn't tell him, "I happened to save him when one of our men tries to hurt him back in L'manburg, i didn't realized that he was the king. Then he took me to his kingdom, introduced me to his family and wanted us to get married at 12th." Techno didn't showed any emotions, but he sounds interested.

"We talked, became close, sneaks outside the castle just to let him see the flowers and the sunlight since he was on a lockdown, and we danced on our engagement party. It was the best thing that happened to me Techno, he made me happy. But i'm still against L'manburg, especially Tommy, since he lives on the kingdom as well." Techno nodded "Didn't they recognized you?" Dream shakes his head "I don't think so, until the day of our engagement? Sapnap arrived with Darryl, along with some men. Since he was the only one who recognizes me because he have seen my mask before, he tried to stop me and Georges proposal but luckily Karl helped me by letting them all fall asleep with a smoke. Then i took this opportunity to bring him with me, and he's on my room now."

Techno grins underneath his half mask "Did you like him?" Dream got flustered "I-i do, i love him. I remember training him with archery, he looks so excited and happy learning it. Then last night, we went to my old house in the woods and watched the fireflies- where we learned more about each other and where we had shared our first kiss..." Dream stops explaining, he can't help but to smile as he remembers kissing George.

"I'm happy for you Dream, but you do know that he's still from L'manburg right? especially that he was the king, what if he tried to put you on a trap?" Dream shook his head "George accepted me, understands me, he trusted me Techno. Even though he was struggling before after knowing who i am and the Pogtopia, that didn't stop him from trusting me. He never hated me Techno, he didn't left me despite all i have done to him." Techno walks up to Dream, patting his back.
