{Sonic} A Medieval Story

United and it feels so...bad

~The start of the wedding ceremony~

A cool afternoon is the setting in the kingdom of Mobius. The air was slightly thick due to early rainfall. However, no one minded as much and carried on with the preparations.

The Mobian townspeople all gathered in front of the castle. They aligned outside on the streets as the royal family and knights of the Quercus kingdom arrived. The excitement filled the streets as the townsfolk threw their flowers. Despite this, you can still feel the tension after having just conducted a funeral for the former king. Nevertheless, Mobius was excited to announce their new king; and both kingdoms were eager to merge.

Cream stood nervously among the crowd. She wore a simple light pink floral dress with a light pink shawl. She wore a floral headpiece with her hair draped down her left shoulder. She looked around, not knowing what to do or what to say. At that moment, she felt a soft hand on her shoulder, making her jump.

She turned around to see Tails in a dashing blue suit. Cream blushes at his attire, and he smiles at her, "Wow, you look beautiful. The greatest gem in our world can't ever compare to your beauty." Her blush deepened, "Y-Y-You're too kind, sir Tails. A-A-And I think you look absolutely handsome." Tails chuckles and then takes her hand, kissing it, "You're too kind, but I told you you could just call me Miles. You don't have to be formal with me." "...Apologies."

Tails takes her hand, "You seem...out of place. Are you feeling okay?" She lowers her head, "I...uh...I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. I've never been to a royal wedding before. I've definitely never been to one that came after a funeral. The mood of the townspeople and even others...it's absolutely devastating. And the Prince...I wonder how he's handling all of this." "I wonder that too."

Cream turns to him with a saddened expression. Tails sighs, "I've known Sonic for years, but I've never seen him like this. I can't even imagine what he's feeling. To marry the princess after his father's funeral; that's not normal, is it?" Cream shakes her head, "It was a strategic move. With Merek still out there, the King's death, and...the renegades..." She sighs, "Perhaps, he felt he had no other choice."

He nods, then frowns, "And you? How are you dealing with all of this?" Her face went blank, then he sighed, "I haven't told anyone, you know? About who you are. A vile group terrorizing the Mobian royal family and its townspeople...but I still felt I could trust you. For whatever reason, you trusted me enough to tell me. I'm eternally grateful for that. I may never understand why you guys did it, but I still care about you. How do you feel?" She stares forward with a plain expression.

She shakes her head, "I had to betray them. I went along with Amy's sacrifice, watching them get branded as criminals. I've been with them for seven years, and...they're probably the most honorable people I've ever met. What we did wasn't right," She turned to look at him with tears in her eyes, "But we weren't wrong for why we did it." He sighs, "Cream..."

He's interrupted by the sound of horns playing. Cream looks around nervously, "What's happening?" Tails pulled her close to him and smiled, "All the guests from the Quercus kingdom arrived. They're starting the wedding."

Everyone turned their attention to the castle's balcony, where Prince Sonic and Princess Sally stood. Cream sighed when she saw Sonic's stoic expression, "Prince Sonic...he looks so..." Sonic was wearing a finely stitched white shirt underneath a red burgundy vest, black pants, and a long black and burgundy leather jacket. His face was emotionless and cold. Cream shakes her head, "He looks..." Tails chuckles, "Yeah, he looks just like his father."
