I love Merida's speech :3
Because if you ignore the choppy breaks and awkwardness, the speech is so powerful and the message is just 👐
Wow this chapter is looong
Onto the story!
...
Third Person P.O.V
The trio peek over the bushes, looking up at wall and at the patrolling guardsmen.
"There are less than usual," (Y/N) points out, making Merrick and Elinor look at her. "Maybe the rest are inside...?"
Elinor huffs and shakes her head, backing away.
"Mum, do ya have a better idea?" Merrick whispers in mild annoyance, looking between the two.
Elinor sighs and looks into space for a moment, her ears perking as she looks at (Y/N) with a jerk motion of her head, urging the two to follow after.
...
(Y/N) winces slightly each time Elinor pulls against the metal grate, a loud echo occuring each time. Merrick looks around in concern and wraps an arm around (Y/N)'s shoulder as Elinor finally pulls the metal grate off.
The three peek into the tunnel and Merrick snorts, "that'll do."
...
Men patrol the area around the castle, their spears sharp and ready for action.
The three manage to sneak past all of them, making Elinor question her guards, and peek out from under a set of stairs near the main doors.
Elinor's ear perks up, and (Y/N) cringes when she hears the fighting.
...
"No more talk, no more tradition!" MacGuffin shouts as arrows fly around the room. "We settle this NOW!" He blocks incoming arrows as his daughter lets out a war cry.
"You're the King!" Macintosh yells, thrusting a mace towards Fergus, "YOU decide on which one of our daughters your son will marry!"
Fergus scoffs and throws his war ax at Macintosh, missing his privates by an inch.
"None of your daughters are fit to marry my son!" Fergus yells, unsheathing his blade with a certain (H/C) haired girl in mind.
"Then our alliance is OVER! This means war!" Dingwall shouts, hurling a spear at Fergus (who easily blocks it). Everyone in Dingwall's clan, except the tall beautiful warrior, cower as arrows rain down on them. She easily grabs and stops an arrow from striking her.
Merrick watches in horror, turning to the two females.
"They're gonna murder each other!" He looks between the door and (Y/N), facing his Mum. "You've got to stop them before it's too late!"
Elinor was taken aback, gesturing to herself and motioning up her body.
"I know! I know!" Merrick yells, gripping his hair. "But how do we get you two through there and up to the tapestry with the lot of them boiling over like that?"
(Y/N) grips Merrick's shoulder with her other fading hand firmly, smiling with narrowed eyes.
"That's what a Prince is for," she softly tells him, making him look down for a moment.
Merrick looks back up and takes her slightly fading hand, "I want ya there. Standing right beside me."
(Y/N) was stunned for a moment, "what? Are you... Sure?"
