Morning sunlight filtered through the castle's windows, casting a warm glow over the room where Hori and Miyamura lay, still wrapped in each other's embrace after spending the entire night together. The peacefulness of the moment seemed almost surreal, as if the world outside didn't exist.

Hori stirred first, her head resting on Miyamura's chest. She smiled softly, feeling the gentle rise and fall of his breath beneath her and blushed remembering last night. As she shifted slightly, Miyamura's arms tightened around her, pulling her closer as he murmured her name.

"Good morning," he whispered, his voice husky from sleep, his fingers lightly brushing through her hair.

Hori smiled up at him, her heart fluttering. "Good morning, Miyamura," she whispered back, feeling warmth spread through her chest.

They stayed like that for a few minutes, simply enjoying the quiet morning and each other's presence. Eventually, Hori sighed, snuggling closer to him. "We should tell them today, shouldn't we?"

Miyamura nodded, his eyes soft as he looked down at her. "Yeah, it's time," he agreed. "But don't worry, I'll be by your side the whole time. You don't have to be nervous."

Hori blushed, biting her lip. "Easier said than done. I'm sure they'll tease us to no end."

Miyamura chuckled softly, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Let them tease. We've been through worse, haven't we?"

She laughed, the sound light and filled with love. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Still... it feels like a big step."

"It is," Miyamura said, his voice turning serious as he tilted her chin up to meet his gaze. "But I wouldn't want to take it with anyone else."

Hori's heart melted at his words, and she smiled, her nerves fading slightly as she held onto his hand. With one more soft kiss, they finally got up, ready to announce the biggest news of their lives.

Later that morning, Hori and Miyamura stood in the meeting hall, where their closest friends and allies had gathered. The air was filled with a light, casual atmosphere, but both Hori and Miyamura felt their hearts pounding in their chests. Hori was especially nervous, and Miyamura could feel her tension as she clutched his hand tightly.

"Hey, what's going on?" Benimaru asked curiously, noticing the strange energy between them. "You two look like you're hiding something."

Before either of them could answer, Shuna tilted her head and added, "Yes, you both look... different today."

The air grew more tense for the couple, but before they could respond, Shion leaned forward, smirking. "Ohhh, I see what's happening here!" she teased, wiggling her eyebrows. "You guys are up to something!"

Veldora, always ready to join in on the fun, crossed his arms and gave a booming laugh. "Hah! Looks like something big is about to happen! What is it, lovebirds?"

Both Hori and Miyamura immediately blushed, their faces turning bright red at the teasing. Hori hid her face in Miyamura's shoulder, her nerves skyrocketing, while Miyamura struggled to keep his composure.

"S-Stop teasing!" Hori mumbled, her voice muffled by Miyamura's shoulder. "This is serious!"

Miyamura cleared his throat, trying to find his voice as he felt everyone's curious eyes on them. "W-Well, actually..." he began, stammering slightly under the pressure. He glanced at Hori, who peeked up at him nervously, and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.

After a brief pause, Miyamura finally gathered his courage. "Hori and I... h-have decided to get m-married."

The room fell silent for a moment, the words hanging in the air. Hori braced herself, expecting some teasing response-but instead, there was an explosion of joy.

"What?!" Benimaru exclaimed, his eyes wide with shock before his face broke into a huge grin. "That's amazing! Congratulations!"

Shuna gasped, her hands clasped together in delight. "That's so wonderful! I'm so happy for you both!"

Milim, unable to contain her excitement, practically tackled Hori in a joyful hug. "Yay!!! This is the best news ever!" she squealed, bouncing up and down. "Hori, I'm so happy for you!"

Ramiris, floating beside Milim, hugged Hori's other side with equal enthusiasm. "You're going to be the cutest bride ever!" she exclaimed, her wings fluttering with excitement.

Hori, still blushing furiously, tried to hide her face even more, but the joy of her friends was infectious. She couldn't help but smile as she felt the overwhelming support and love from everyone around her. She leaned into Miyamura, her heart soaring as he smiled down at her.

"Ohhh, look how much she's blushing!" Shion teased, grinning wickedly as she leaned in closer. "Look at that! So cute! Hori, you're going to be such a blushing bride!"

Veldora joined in the teasing with a hearty laugh. "Hah! Look at her hiding behind Miyamura! You'll have to be brave for the wedding, you know!"

Gobta, standing nearby, couldn't resist adding his own bit of fun. "Yeah, I've never seen someone blush so much! Are you sure you'll be able to say your vows without turning red, Hori?"

By now, Hori's face was practically burning with embarrassment, and she buried her face even deeper into Miyamura's shoulder. "S-Stop it already!" she mumbled, feeling completely flustered. But despite the teasing, she couldn't stop smiling.

Miyamura, sensing her embarrassment, chuckled softly and wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close. "Alright, alright, enough teasing," he said, still smiling. "We'll need your help for the wedding preparations, so save some of that energy for later."

At that, everyone's expressions turned serious-well, as serious as they could while still grinning ear to ear.

"Of course we'll help!" Benimaru said enthusiastically. "Whatever you need, just let us know."

Shuna nodded eagerly. "Yes, I'd be honored to help with anything. This wedding is going to be perfect!"

Milim and Ramiris both clung to Hori again, their eyes shining with excitement. "We're going to help too!" Milim declared. "I'm so excited!"

"Leave it to us!" Ramiris added, her wings fluttering even faster. "We'll make sure it's the most amazing wedding ever!"

Even Shion, Veldora, and Gobta-who had been merciless with their teasing-were now offering their assistance. "I'll help with the food!" Shion said, her usual confidence on full display. "Though, maybe I should stick to carrying things..."

Veldora smirked. "And if anyone tries to crash the wedding, I'll take care of them with my awesome powers!"

Gobta nodded along, still grinning. "Yeah, we've got your back!"

Hori and Miyamura shared a look of pure happiness, their hearts full. Surrounded by their friends, their allies, and the people they had come to care for so deeply, they felt truly blessed. This was their family now, and together, they would make this wedding-and their future-something beautiful.

As the joyful preparations began, the hall filled with laughter and excitement once more. Hori and Miyamura stood side by side, watching their friends bustle around, already making plans for the big day. Hori leaned her head on Miyamura's shoulder, their hands intertwined as they shared a quiet moment amidst the chaos.

"We're really doing this," Hori whispered, her eyes shining with love.

Miyamura smiled, squeezing her hand. "Yeah. And I wouldn't want it any other way."
