As we make it down to the lunch hall ranboo tells me all about what I missed during the ball. Apparently one of the princes had a tantrum and smashed a few wine glasses. Father had gone nuts. It was the blond one that got me a crown. I giggled imagining father popping a blood vessel holding in anger.

Ranboo also filled me in on his massive failed attempt at flirting with Tubbo. He had eventually admitted he did have a small crush. He had apparently fallen over. He was now ranting about how sweet Tubbo was about it. "He walked me to the medical room and held my hand when they cleaned my grazed knee,"

I laughed at the boy as he stares into space. He looked at me in confusion "careful lover boy, if you stare into space like that any longer your eyes might turn into hearts." At this joke he rolled his eyes at me. Yet still held the door open for me with a "ladies first".

I laugh and the lanky boy as we walk into the banquet hall. I marvel at the smell of sweet Pastries and chocolate. I take a beep intake, I can smell strawberry jams and honey in the air. "Now look who's eyes are heart shaped," Ranboo joked. "Holy shit, screw the suitors I want to marry this food"

I almost throw myself at my throne in excitement. I was so excited to eat, I was practically vibrating. I could barely wait for everyone to get here.but eventually they did, but at that point I had sneaked a few jam biscuits. My father was making an announcement that seemed to drag on. I'm pretty sure everyone could here my stomach rumble as I waited for it to be over.

"This is a joint day of food, for Wilbur and Tubbo  due to the fact there food is very similar, but the nether kings will each get there own day." I was contemplating stamping on my fathers foot, if he didn't stop soon I'd go mad. Tubbo held in giggles as I rolled my eyes making a signal that father talked to much.

My father didn't take the time to glare at me only announced to start eating. He must have picked up at the hungry and bored stares and my irritated glare. I almost squeal with excitement as I lean forward to get a crumpet with jam on it, then one with chocolate. Then I tried this thing called a chocolate brioche.

It was like heaven the food was so sweet and amazing. I devoured so much even father mentioned how much I was eating. Obviously i ate more just to spite him, as much as I felt to full. I felt like I was going to vomit i ate so much. But it was all worth it to see my fathers face bright red with anger.

I both dreaded and looked forward to lunch in two and a half hours. I walked to the library feeling like a sack of potatoes as I walked. I probably was going to be sick. But I could manage this especially seen as it pissed my dad off. I mean I don't really see him as a dad, I've always wanted him to be my dad but he never was. It was only a wish

**shit.. pollen here. You can tell I have major daddy issues**

I pause at the entrance of the library pondering going in. When a hand brushed across the small of my back. Technoblade brushed past me into the library. I sigh following after him, I start to search the shelves for a book to read. Maybe I'd settle for an adventure one. I couldn't be bothered with a romance or anything depressing.

I sigh as I scoured the shelf's, nothing sparked my interesting. Technos hand still ghosted on my back. I turned to him in boredom to see what he was reading. The book laid abandoned in his lap, his head was leant back as he rubbed his hands over his face. I pick up the closest book to me and go sit down next to him.

I look down at the cover to see it was about the never. Perfect. I had been so curious about the nether ever since some of the descriptions techno said about last night. "You know if you want to know about the nether I'm probably better then a book," I look up to see techno staring at me.  He still wore that skull mask. Curiosity curled inside me, I pushed the feeling down as I stare into the eye sockets.

"Well, you just seemed pretty interested by you book." I answer as I slowly close the book I hadn't even started. I look at him curiou alight inside of me. He studies me for a second before straightening. He begins by apologising about his awful description skill.

I laugh before staring intently hoping he'd continue. He started by talking about the forests first. He said there was both red and blue one like fire alight in the night sky "what's fire like?" He turns to me in shock as the words leave my mouth. "You've never seen fire? It's gorgeous warm light that flickers and eats and burns anything it can touch,".

I sigh trying to picture the mysterious thing in my mind. Did it have a mouth? Did it have a favourite thing to eat? I had heard a lot about fire and how it destroyed forests and habitat and was extremely dangerous. "Ohh I hope I can see it one day," I mumble. The lonely longing to explore flickered in my heart.

I had only really ever seen the inside of these walls and the gardens. Although they where beautiful I wanted to explore and see things I hadn't seen before. Now more interested I urged techno to continue, I practically begged. I do wished to see the outside world. He continues to describe the red forest the best he could.

I watch as he waves his hands in different gestures to try help his description. I was just thankful he didn't want to be a writer. When he started talking about the blue forests I looked at him sheepish. "I've never seen the ocean either," he furrows his eyebrows saying "princess you sure haven't seen much,"

I nod explaining my father used the excuse of "it was too dangerous for a girl". Our conversations of the nether and other world soon dissolved into other topics of books he liked to read and what his favourite animals where. I had said the crow, because there are so many books on crows in the library.

They seemed to be such
Elegant beautiful creatures. Yet many where scared of them, or more their dark omens and curses. I didn't believe any of the folks tails but lots where very interesting to read about. Techno laughed saying "uncle Phil will be pleased,"

"Uncle?" I asked unsure if it was married in or biological. "My father and him where adopted by a trainer, they grew up together before becoming kings," he explains waving his hand. "Wow small world," I mutter.

He laughs at my shock as he just says "not really, " I look at him in confusion. He sighs saying "well maybe it is, but I've always been told by my mother I'd find someone perfect for me. But a large amount of people hate me." As those words fly around my head my heart clenched. How could they hate him, he's so sweet and even funny.

I place my hand gently on his arm hoping he wouldn't hate me even more for that kiss as I say "I'm sure you'll find the one, also how do people hate you?" I ask, watching him carefully. To make sure I didn't accidentally hit a nerve. He laughs at this before we move on.

I sit next to him in the library as i stare over the top of my book to watch him leave. Maybe I pissed him off? I suddenly feel more sick and decide it was time to take a nap.

Well that was some action, wasn't it my butterflies? Also finally a normal lengthen chapter! I mean they've been a bit all over the place and will continue to be so. Anyways, how are we liking the book?
