New Beginning Chap.32

After another while In the Hospital you and Lizzie were discharged, though at first Dire Crowley told you both you could go home if you wished for a while but you decided to stay so he advised that you both take it easy. with Riddle's constant check Ins on your welfare and with some check ups at the school nurse the both of you were able to get back attending classes In no time, and what's more your injuries healed without a scar left to be seen with Lizzie's blot being properly taken care of she was able to use magic again, you and Malleus's relationship continued to grow with It becoming ever so stronger after that endeavor that you'd faced for a while before, you kept meeting up as usual days or have dates off Campus when you had time, even inviting Lizzie to come with you both on a double date In which Cater came along with them hitting things off greatly and It didn't take long for Cater and Lizzie to announce that they were Indeed a couple.

Your Mother was Informed about what had happened, and she'd had an earful for Lizzie which left her greatly embarrassed but you didn't breathe a word about your boyfriend's to her as you and Lizzie feared how she'd take It. So for now you both kept the secret boyfriend thing, It had been Three Months since then with the weather now cold as the snow had fallen on Sage's Island which meant only one thing which was It was nearly time for Holiday Break 

Today was a Wednesday which meant it was a club day, but of course the outdoor clubs were moved inside for the rest of the season until It was warm enough In the spring, as It was only you and Malleus In the Gargoyle Appreciation you'd moved it to Diasomnia,

you and him were sitting by the fireplace as you played a few rounds of chess like before 

"Checkmate"

you pouted lightly, "won't you let me win once?"

Malleus chuckled, "Sorry my dear, but I've bested you again...before It was you beating me"

you smiled as you giggled, "I suppose that's fair"

"Lord Malleus! would you and the Princess care for some hot chocolate!" said Sebek

"Yes, Thank you Sebek"

Malleus then waved his hand over the board, and with green mist the board cleared instantly as he rose onto his feet to come sit by your side, as he put his arm around you 

"It's been so cold at night lately, are you alright My Rose?"

you nodded and came into his arms, "Mhm, Riddle's asked to have the fire fairies come by more often"

just then Lilia dropped out of nowhere, "Boo!"

you jumped a little while Malleus just looked at him, Lilia then started laughing to himself .

"Apologies, Malleus have you told her about what her Majesty just sent you?"

Malleus realized, "Oh That, I was going to tell her today...My Rose"

"yes?"

Malleus smiled, "My Grandmother sent an Invitation for a ball that'll be during the Holiday, It's a traditional ball that our kind have always had during the winter"

you were intrigued, "Really? that's wonderful,"

"In my last letter to her I finally told her about us, and she'd like to formally meet you at Wild Rose Castle"

you were surprised, "Oh"

Malleus started, "I apologize I should've told you that I-"

you smiled and held his hand "I'd love to come and meet her"

Malleus smiled, "I'm glad, then you'll be coming with us and attending the ball as my escort where I'll formally Introduce you as my lady"

you nodded, you knew how the royal protcol called for when an heir to the throne such as yourselves had a lover or the like who needed to be introduced to the parents or court 

"Oho, this is so exciting I'm sure her Majesty will come to adore you" said Lilia 

just then Sebek returned with some cups of steaming hot chocolate, "Here you are!"

he carefully handed over the silver cups to you both, and you blew on yours quickly as you then looked to the green flames in the fireplace "Darling, do you...will she approve of me?"

Malleus smiled, "Of course, what would she not love about you as I do"

you smiled as you then kissed his cheek, before having a sip of the hot chocolate as you let It warm you up from the inside with it's flavor being nice and rich

you then tasted something, "Is that a hint of mint? It's delicious Sebek"

"It's an old Zigvolt recipe! but...mostly from my father" he said

you smiled, "Oh, If I remember he's a Dentist yes?"

Sebek nodded, "Yes...yes he's a Dentist and sometimes mother helps him as his assistant"

Malleus set his cup down, "Holiday break is two weeks from now so at that time we will leave for Brair Valley"

Sebek smiled, "Yes My Lord! It's an honor to be going back to Wild Rose castle!"

Lilia chuckled, "fufufu I know you're excited but Lower your voice a tad Sebek"

you'd read up on Brair Valley a while ago and always wondered what It was like, but now you'd be able to go and what's more get to experience It with the one you loved

Malleus drew you into his arms once more, as you leaned into his touch and rested your head against his chest as you laced your finger's together "My Rose"

"Hm?"

Malleus smiled "I was just thinking...there'll be snow once we're there, I was just thinking how lovely you'd look in It"

you bashfully giggled, "Malleus"

"I mean It, I truly do" 

you looked up at him as you smiled, he then kissed your forehead before you shared a real kiss.
