My own death does not scare me, but yours? Oh that is my greatest, and deepest fear.

     "Oh thank god" Philza said, rushing to Ophelia and hugging her. Ophelia hugged back, Philza gave one of the best hugs. "Whats the plan?" Philza asks as he pulls away from the hug.

"Ophelia and I are getting married." Technoblade states. After seeing Philza's smile
widen he quickly added "Just so she can take the throne." Philza looks a little disappointed but still happy.

"So what do we need to do?" Technoblade asks turning towards the girl. "We need to make this public. Luckily my father is having a ball in eight days, we go to my village tonight, stay for the eight days while staying low, and after a bit at the ball we announce and I'll take my claim to the throne." Technoblade nods. "So should I kill Dream before or after?" Technoblade asks, not joking in the slightest.

"Theres no need to kill him Techno, I promise." Ophelia says softly, grabbing Technoblade's hand and giving a reassuring squeeze. Technoblade hasn't left Ophelia's side since they got back.

"should I bring Kristen, Tommy and tubbo to say goodbye before you leave?" Philza asks and Ophelia shakes her head "We'll see them soon, I will be inviting you guys to our wedding after all" she giggles, making a blush rise to Technoblade's cheeks.

Philza smiles "Kristen will be thrilled to know. I can't promise getting Tommy into a tux though" Ophelia laughs "That's okay"

Nightfall comes quickly, and Ophelia and Technoblade are ready to go. Ophelia is wearing black pants, a dark blue button up and a black cloak with her boots. She wants to be as unrecognizable as possible until the ball.

Technoblade places Ophelia at the front of Carl and quickly hops on. Carl starts trotting softly through the woods and Ophelia leans her on Techno, sleepy from the day they've had.

"You can sleep if you need to, i'll hold you steady." Technoblade whispers in the girls ear. Ophelia just hums sleepily and Technoblade slips an arm around her waist, pressing her close into him. Truthfully it wasn't needed, but Technoblade was happy for an excuse.

Ophelia began to stir as the torches planted around a familiar village shone light on her face. She smiled and whispered to Techno "we're here"

"Where should we stay?" Technoblade asks softly, as they rode slowly around town. "I think I know someone who will let us stay." Ophelia and began guiding Technoblade.

Soon enough they were in front of a small cottage. Quietly getting down from Carl Ophelia walked up to the door with Technoblade following behind. After a few knocks a slime hybrid opened the door.

"Charlie" Ophelia said, relieved, going to hug the man before remembering he's slime. "Princess?!" Charlies asks shocked, any sleep he had before leaving him. Charlie was one of the people who were enslaved and forced to work at the castle. Unlike Ranboo he was granted the ability to live in a cottage near.

"Charlie I need a place to stay and I need no one to know im here" Ophelia says hurriedly as Technoblade clear his throat behind her. "Oh and this is my friend Technoblade I also need him with me."

"You're welcome here anytime Princess" Charlie says, stepping aside so the two can come in. "I only have one extra bedroom with one bed I hope thats okay" Charlie says sheepishly, rubbing his neck.

"Thats perfect Charlie thank you." Ophelia says smiling. Charlie points them to the room and they go in after bidding Charlie goodnight. "I'll take the floor" Technoblade says, getting ready to lay down before Ophelia stops him "Don't be silly. We'll share the bed." She says before taking off her boots and cloak.

Technoblade looks hesitantly but he knew she wouldn't give in and he was way too tired to argue. Sighing he lays in the bed, watching as the girl follows him close after.

"Its kinda small." Technoblade points out and Ophelia giggles softly. "That's because youre laying on your back. Turn to your side." Technoblade does so and their faces were now inches apart. Technoblade's breath hitches before he debates turning back.

Ophelia smile and wiggles closer to him "im gonna fall" she giggles. Technoblade wraps an arm around her and pulls her closer "I'll hold you" he says softly, not seeing how red Ophelia's face had gotten.

Ophelia's eyes glanced down at Technoblade's lips momentarily before looking back at his eyes. "Technoblade?" she asks softly, her heart beating faster. "hmm?" Technoblade hummed in response, his eyes locked deeply with hers.

Ophelia inched closer, eyes fluttering. This was it. One movement and she would wordlessly confess the feelings she held within.

One movement and she would know if he felt the same.

...

But what if he didn't?

She'd ruin everything.

"Just, Thank you." She said before moving and burying herself in his chest.

"Anything for you."
