Entry No. 14

I looked in the mirror at myself. Ylva was sweet, as I had found out as we spoke... But I just... Looking at myself I was terrified that this was how my life was going to be for the rest of my time... I looked pretty, but I was still scared.

I looked at the cut of the dress... I chuckled at how certain people would react to me in this.

"I wonder what they would think," I said with a smile.

"Oh no... Don't tell me... You have a lover?" Ylva asked.

"Well... Not exactly but I um.." I stammered.

She hugged me close, "My darling I'm so sorry, but you must forget him.."

"But-" I started.

She stepped back and looked me in the eye, "If you make mention of your lover to the king... He will have hum sought out and executed."

I thought... Not only Laurance.. But Lucinda and Travis.. I had so many confusing relationships. Wait... Malachi.... I wasn't ever going to see him either...

"Now, let's get you to the throne room," Ylva said as she walked me out.

"Wait- But.... What about my son!? I can't just never see him again-" I questioned.

She quickly put her hand to my mouth and whispered in my ear, "I will find a way... But if the king hears you have a son he may be rash."

I whispered back, "He's my adopted son... He's already gone through so much.."

"I will find a way... For now, we just need to get through this," Ylva said.

I walked down towards the throne, anxious beyond all belief... I made it to the end and the men examined me.

"Well, well, well.. Look at this one," the King said.

"She's quite the looker, I'd say, Michi also stated she's skilled in combat, has been apart of leading alliances, as well as a second hand to a village before," a servant said.

"Is this true, meifwa?" The King asked.

"Yes, and if you would... My name in Y/n," I said, as cordial as possible.

Ylva had warned me that he could harm my friends at any moment... I couldn't mess anything up here.

"Oh, she's polite... Not annoying like that  Michi.. Plus she looks like she'll make handsome sons!" The King thought aloud.

I couldn't hold back my blush... Me? Kids? Oh god...

"P-Please leave that kind of talk for your wife sir? It's quite embarrassing," I said, looking away.

The King chuckled, "Quite meek now, isn't she?"

The room fell quite....

"Mino, I absolutely approve of this one to marry my son. Take her to his chambers and make sure magick happens," The King ordered.

I sighed... I couldn't even ask politely for him to change...

"Right away sir.. Please follow me Y/n," Mino said.

A wolf guarded me from behind as Mino walked me to a room. I went into the room and the two left... I continued to stare at the door, trying to convince myself this was all just a dream.

"So you're the meifwa suitor my father has picked for me..." a man said from behind me.

I took a deep breath and looked back at him. He had dark brown hair and eyes. I could feel tears at the edges of my eyes.

"Are you alright?" He asked, coming close to me.

"I-I'm sorry," I said as I wiped my eyes. "I just... Your father has my friends and I have people waiting for me at home and people I need to go help.... I just..."

I thought about everyone... I thought about Nicole and Dmitri, and Malachi... And Travis and Vlyad... And Lucinda and Garroth... I just.... I couldn't just let my life end here with these people.

"I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't act like this... If I have to do this I can at least act well enough to get my friends out of those cells," I said, continuing to wipe my eyes.

Tears flowed from my eyes, and I could feel that they were getting all red and puffy from me wiping them.

I felt his hand pull mine away from my face, "It's okay to feel that way... Even though you are gorgeous, I wouldn't want to marry someone that didn't love me. This isn't all dreamy for me either."

He pulled me close to him, and held me tight.

"Th-Thank you," I stammered.

We stood there for a while, before sitting on the couch by the fire.

"Do you mind telling me about it all? Your life outside of here? Maybe there's something that could help us that we aren't thinking about," he said.

"Well... My name is Y/n, guess I never told you that.... Um... I helped my sister run this village, Phoenix Drop, for a very long time. She got trapped in the Irene dimension though and I ended up falling into Ereni's dimension... I seem to have some kind of connection to her and uh.... I have a son... I adopted him on one of my adventures... He was a ghost when I first met him, but we were able to turn him human again... He's the sweetest.... Now he takes on the same role I did way back when for Phoenix Drop... I'm proud of him... Truly," I explained. "Sorry... That was probably more than you needed to know."

"No, it's actually very interesting. Tell me more," he said as he stared into my eyes as he leaned on the couch.

We ended up talking for a long time, til I eventually fell asleep. I think Fenrir did so because then I wasn't freaking out and crying.... He was pretty sweet... But I didn't want to be trapped here. I woke up to the door.

"Sir!" Mino yelled.

I groggily yawned before looking to see that I was laying on top of Fenrir on the couch. He was fully awake, seemingly trapped by the fact that my head was laying on his chest. I nervously got up and looked out the balcony.

"What's wrong?" Fenrir asked.

"Michi has brought forth your meifwa fiancé's lover!" Mino said.

I looked back at the two in fear.

"Wh-What?" I questioned.

"The King is ordering you to execute him at once! Quickly, let's get your best execution suit on," Mino said as he rushed out.

Fenrir looked back at me, "I won't let this happen to your love, quick... We need to find a way to resolve this."

I bit at my nails anxiously.

Laurance....
