I sat bandaging Techno's bleeding hand as he grumbled things probably to the voices in his head I feel like I should tell him about the crows..what the are but now isn't the time "mate you want to take a walk with me?" He looked at me confused I forced him onto one anyways. Which he didn't complain about I also had one small hidden dagger and nothing else which Techno clearly hated I made him carry no weapons, I felt like I needed to be the one to kill any people if need be on this walk not him the voices were going rampant currently one wrong move and he could end up falling to far into their demands I know this.

While we were walking the crows were telling me that there was someone watching us every movement, I sighed softly stopping I heard the steps behind me stop I looked to Techno staring into his eyes he looked back I could vaguely see some sign of nervousness crave it's way into his facial features. I stared at him before opening my wings and launched myself into the air grabbing the dagger and threw it into the followers shoulder, then flew over to them landing in front of the fallen person. I was greeted by a man wearing armor from a different kingdom sword on the snow in front of his hand "why hello there mate care to explain why you followed us?" He glared at me slowly lifting himself up and grabbed his sword. And pointed it to me, I knew Techno was coming over so I knew to make this quick I moved avoiding the swing grabbing the dagger and digging it more into the man's shoulder until the Crack of bone filled my ears.

His arm fell limp, I yanked the knife out then stabbed him in the throat holding him down to the ground watching as he choked on blood I got up "Phil.." Techno said "it's fine I handled it" I flicked the blood off the dagger then hid it he glared at me mildly I could tell he was annoyed "we should head back" he stated I shook my head and went back to walking "it's fine" I said and he stared at me, I just sat on the little hill looking over part of the empire granted the hill was a mountain but to me they were one in the same most were small if you knew how to handle it...I looked at the empire "we should expand out some" I stated solemnly "why." He stated stopping next to me "it looks a little cramped in my opinion so I say we expand a little and there's a iced over lake with fish it could be useful" he made a hm noise as he stared thinking "possibly, but that'll wait for now" I nodded looking over the empire again and if I looked far enough I swore I could see the small cottage in the middle of the snow hiddened by trees, in there was a woman a lovely woman who was surrounded by crows and a woman who would always take this poor wondering soul of mine back any day.

"Phil..we need to figure out why spies are coming in to attack us" he stated, I stood up looking at him "I have a feeling you actually know Techno, we've been through to much for you to not tell me" I stated sharply.

^Karl Pov:
I was standing looking at the people who were talking to the slightly shorter male in front of me, I was copying how I've seen dozens of noble women stand behind their husband's hands gently set closed against their legs or gently holding an item such as a parasol if she had one. So far I hadn't been asked a single thing until I was asked my opinion on prince-or is king Nick none the less he's mine by noble women I realized the other must've been dragged off to other people.

"Um, he's very sweet and kind, checks on me everyday at least twice" I stated they looked at them "no in bed, we don't care about outside besides we could help you learn" "what?" I asked looking at them confused they looked at me then just started asking me like a million personal questions about me and Nick which I didn't answer because I got embarrassed "Karl, there you are" I looked to see Nick he had a small smile on his face. I smiled and came over to him then we walked off together gently holding hands as we did, I spun him a little just to be goofy he laughed a little and I did the same.

Yet again I soon found myself standing behind Nick as more people this time mainly leaders asking Nick questions that he wasn't to sure on answering I'm pretty positive at least, but he did try his best one of the questions that what was asked was about having an heir...I bit my lip a little "what?" Nick asked looking at the king who said it "every king must have some sort of heir to the throne and well, your um choice of partner will not get you one" he said looking to me, I looked away feeling almost ashamed I guess..I wasn't to sure I just bit my lip more "I don't care about having an heir or not we'll worry about when it's needed to be." He stated sharply then grabbed my hand and walked away bringing me along which I just followed.

We got to where it was just us, he looked up to me "are you alright Karl?" I nodded smiling "I'm alright, thank you" I said kissing his cheek which made him blush I giggled smiling more he smiled back then hugged me which I of course hugged back I loved hugging and giving people affection but it's not allowed unless married or family. So I was probably going to have a hard time keeping my hands off the other male due to me finally being able to express myself fully.

I nuzzled my face into his hair not enough to mess it up "your so warm" I said and he smiled "hehe your warm too Karl" he said smiling I peppered his face in kisses which made him laugh in response.

Tubbo Pov:
Me and Tommy were sitting in the grass just pulling small weeds out of the ground...Wilbur hadn't left his office in a while not even to eat no one was allowed in not even Tommy which I knew made Tommy super worried, I heard footsteps and looked up to see Ranboo looking at me he crouched down holding out a flower to me which I took "thanks" he then held one out to Tommy.

The blonde took the flower then threw it after quickly plucking all the petals off I heard a slight sad/sigh noise from Ranboo "Tommy.." I said softly he just stood up "Tommy..what's wrong?" I asked standing up he looked at me slightly "nothing" we went back and forth me asking what was wrong and him saying it was nothing till he exploded "it's nothing Tubbo! Drop it!" He yelled making both me and Ranboo flinch back slightly, I held my arms out slowly and Tommy just hugged me I hugged back smiling softly I watched as Ranboo hugged me and Tommy.

Tommy opened his eyes "off off off" he said pushing us away we both moved laughing a little "I know your worried about Wilbur...all of us are" I said he sighed looking down "he's usually never one to lock himself away" I nodded "I know maybe it's cause Fundy is gone-well I mean I don't know...I don't know Wilbur as well as you" I said he nodded some "yeah he's a good brother if he'd stop locking himself away" Tommy said then the three of us walked around L'Manburg more and more people would come in wanting to live here everyday and we all helped build up the area, homes, shops, etc. Whatever was needed Ranboo was kinda me and Tommy's voice of reason despite not being able to full talk to us still...which we were working on.

But for now we were doing decent despite us waiting for Wilbur to come out or Fundy to come home things were going to be alright because I promised Tommy it would and God's would be damned if they told my best friend other wise.
