Cersei cleared her throat and let out a humorless laugh. She raised her finger and moved the blade away from her shoulder. Looking up slowly, she saw him.

The pink hair, the pig mask and the glistening crown. It was still him. "Is that how you greet an old friend?' she asked. He stared down at her until he let out a chuckle, "Cersei Nightmare." He said as he jumped down his horse.

Her smirk grew and he just knew it did from the way her eyes crinkled, the small crinkles showing, "Technoblade." She said.

Technoblade stood in front of her. She had to look up slightly. Their cloaks matching each other perfectly under the sun. His blood red and her royal blue cloaks shining under the sunlight. He opened his arms and tilted his head.

"Come on." He said. Cersei snickered but walked to be wrapped in the arms of her best friend. He laughed and pulled off his mask and pulling away. "So this is where you hauled up to." She said.

Their moment was ruined when the blonde teen spoke again, "What the fuck is going on?" he asked. Techno rolled his eyes as Cersei looked at them.

"Right, Cersei, this is the country of my brother. That is-" "The perfect brother, Wilbur Soot." She cut him off staring at the curly haired brunette.

Wilbur raised an eyebrow at her, unfazed by her words. "And that must be the annoying child, Tommy was it?" she asked as she looked back at her best friend.

Techno laughed and nodded, "That is correct." He said. They were about to engage in another conversation when the fox boy behind Wilbur spoke. "I think it would be better to talk inside?" he suggested.

The friends nodded and Wilbur led them inside the city. Teachnoblade placed a hand on her back as she followed the people.

She looked around, impressed at the country. She saw kids running around, multiple businesses and humble homes. Her eyes moved to look at Wilbur's back.

His posture straight as his head held high as the teens rough housed as they walked in front of him. His chin up high as his hands were placed behind his back.

He had pride in what they had built and had wanted to protect it and she understood that. In all her missions, she finds which ones are worthy for a clean sweep and from the way the people are and the country looks, Cersei had decided, L'manburg deserved a clean independence.

"Miss Nightmare-" "Cersei. I don't like that name, too formal." She said as they entered the small van. Wilbur nodded as he fixed his glasses. This statement made Techno scoff.

She turned and sent him a death stare which made him stop. Tommy snickered, "How do you do that?" he asked. She raised an eyebrow at him, "Do what?' she asked before thanking the blond girl that offered her a seat, the name she found out to me Niki.

"Make Technoblade act..." "Normal." A boy with a blue jumper and a beanie said. She looked at him and realized that Charlie clung behind him with a smile.

Her heart tugged at how the former shielded him from the world. "Let's just say from past experiences, your brother knows not to mess with me." she said cockily. Techno rolled his eyes making her snicker.

"Yes, Cersei, thank you for that." Wilbur finally spoke again. Pertaining to the stunt earlier. "I believe you hired me to protect your country and its people. I was doing my job." She said.

"You haven't signed a contract yet." The one with a beanie said again. Her eyes shone of amusement, "A business man. Well Mr. Business Man-" "Quackity. My name is Quackity." He cut her off.

The others froze as she raised an eyebrow at him. Scared that he had overstepped but she merely nodded, "Of course. Apologies. I tend to make nicknames to people until I learn their names." She admitted.

Wilbur nodded, "But Quackity is right. You haven't signed anything." He said. Cersei hummed, "Yes that is true but once you hire a Nightmare and they accept it automatically starts their mission. Physical contract or not." She said.

The others looked at Techno and he nodded, "Nightmares go by the power of the mouth. Words are important." He said. Tommy shook his head, "Wait how do you know that?" he asked his older brother.

Technoblade and Cersei looked at each other and he nodded at his friend. She looked back at the brothers, "Because young Tommy, your brother was a Nightmare too." "WHAT?!"

Cersei snickered at their reactions but decided to ignore them. Turning to a calm Wilbur, "I am at your hand Wilbur until you terminate it." she said.

He nodded in appreciation, "I am glad you accepted." He said. She smirked, "I'm glad you offered." She said. He nodded again, "Your plan?" he asked.

She hummed, "You have two choices really." "And that is?" the boy behind the shorter brunette spoke. Her eyes travelled to him. His face was half white and half black. From the small purple particles around him, she realized he was part enderman.

"To kill Dream or-" "No death." Wilbur cut her off. She raised her eyebrow at him. "Well then if you don't want him dead, then what do you want to happen?" she asked.

Wilbur stopped and this made her raise her eyebrows. Techno stood up when she snickered, "Well then Mr. President, I cannot help you if you do not know what you want." She said.

Cersei stood up, an act to leave but Wilbur spoke. "I hired you protect L'manburg." He said. She stopped and turned her head, "That is a long term agreement Mr. Soot." She said.

He nodded and stood up. "And I am willing to pay." He said. She hummed and pursed her lips and turned back to look at him. Techno watched her, he knew how things work if the Nightmare didn't accept an offer and let's just say it didn't end up well for the employer.

Cersei felt his stare. She knew that these are his family and there's a reason why he stayed here. So despite the code she nodded. "Alright. I accept your offer." She said. This made the people cheer.

Technoblade hum, making her to glance at him, "But." She spoke louder. This cause the people to quiet down, she turned to each and one of them, "The moment I get a better offer, I am to leave and whether you all like it or not, the moment I do so, Dream's body will be delivered in front of your gates. He will die by my hands." She said.

The others froze while Wilbur clenched his jaw. He doesn't like death, no one deserves it unless it was the last resort. But he knew he had bargained enough. And from the way Techno was looking at him, he accepted.

"Then we have a deal Cersei." He said. Cersei smirked as she pulled out a parchment. She slid the parchment to the president who skimmed through the contract.

Standing next to Techno, he inched closer to her, "Is that-" "I go by the book Techno." She whispered. He clenched his jaw as he watched his brothers and friend sign the parchment.

"Don't worry, as long as they don't do anything against it, they'll be safe." She reassured him. He just nodded as he continued to watch them. Wilbur returned the parchment and she nodded.

Rolling it up, she tucked it in her cloak. "Well then." She said. Everyone looked at her, she slowly lowered her mask, showing the rest of her face to her clients. She sent them a small smirk and nodded, "I have one request." She said as her clients were still in shock.

She does this every time. The shock of seeing her face, not expecting to see it. The scar that flew across her lips and to her upper right cheek was enough to know that the girl was indeed Cersei Nightmare.

"I only request to stay with my good friend Technoblade." She said. This made Wilbur nod, "Of course." He said.

She smiled genuinely and turned to Techno who smirked at her. He nodded and offered his arm. She immediately looped her arm through his and they walked away.
