Danmachi: The Last Stand

Chapter 5 Marriage

as Capaneus had the room trying to understand what happened, they all then exploded in wanting an explanation. Sanjouno was murdering word's of confusion, Bell was lost and had no idea how to act, and the rest is other kinds of crazy that was all over the place.
Hestia:"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE OFFICIALLY MARRIED"
Lily:"HOW DID THIS HAPPEN"
Tiona:"WHAT DID YOU DO, AND WHY ARE WE YELLING"
Capaneus's thought's:"this escalated quicker then I thought, seriously, get a grip people, well I need to calm them down fast and them yelling won't get us anywhere, I guess I have no choice"
Capaneus then smacked all their head's to calm down and he gave his explanation, though it was complicating and hard to understand so he needed to be as specific and detailed as possible.
Capaneus's thought's:"I hope they will at least try to listen, then maybe we can fix this"
Capaneus:"okay, since it was Hera who signed the document's, the goddess of marriage by the way, this I more officially made than I originally planned, and thank's to both Bell and Sanjouno agreeing to the fake marriage in a manner similar to a marriage vow for life commitment between the 2 in question, now that I think about it carefully, and the fact that their both within the age range, this is an official marriage decree"
Capaneus's thought's:"and it doesn't help that I did the "you may now kiss the bride" joke, probably shouldn't bring that up if I don't have to"
everyone was thinking about the rule's of marriage and tried to see anything wrong with this.
Ais:"I thought the youngest one can marry would be at 15 years of age, isn't Bell still too young"
Rivaria:"she's right, Bell is still 14 year's old, he's 1 year too young for that"
Capaneus:"a marriage is technically not official till 3 month's pass when under the age of 22, and since Bell's birthday is in 2 month's, it mean's this is legitimate"
Tiona:"it is, I need to find a present for bell then...hey Rivaria, what marriage present do you get someone, and also Bell what do you like"
They all then lost their biggest chance and also Tiona was given food to stuff her mouth to keep her quiet.
Lily:"isn't there anything you could be mistaken about"
Bell:"what about permission from the guardian's, you need that right"
Capaneus:"one, both of you are lost to that situation with no parent's, 2 you don't need a guardian's permission to marry, and 3, even if that was the case, that means only I can determine you do marry Sanjouno or not, and I don't mind the marriage much"
Bell's thought's:"why do I feel like he doesn't seem bothered by this"
Capaneus:"anyway, there might be one way, but you're not going to like it"
Hestia:"whatever it is, it can't be that bad"
Capaneus:"... I warned you, if someone confirms Sanjouno's royal status being the King's niece, then the marriage would be called off since Bell is in an engagement with Appolonia, so we have to publicly announce this"
Wiene:"how is that bad, it isn't that big of a deal is it"
Alexander:"we been keeping it under wraps for a good reason, if anyone knew about the engagement, they would target the Hestia familia, or swindlers will get close for political power benefit's when Bell marrie's my daughter"
Hestia:"...so in other word's, if we want to call off this marriage, we need to put Bell's engagement in public notice making him a bigger target then he already is, and not to mention Sanjouno's actually royalty making her bait to kidnapper's"
Sanjouno:"so a lot of people come after me"
Lily:"exactly, thug's would try and kidnap you for leverage over the king"
Andromeda then had an idea to help this, though.
Andromeda:"or we could leave the marriage as it is, what's the harm in it"
Sanjouno:"well...if I were to get married to someone I care about deeply... I want it to be because of love, not a crazy trick gone wrong"
Capaneus:"HEY, that's mean, it's not crazy"
everyone in the room looked at him with doubtful eye's and Capaneus shrugged in anger for them thinking otherwise.
Sanjouno's thought's:"and I want Bell to properly propose to me with all his heart"
Tiona:"what about his engagement"
Andromeda:"a double marriage"
Leviya:"can you do that"
Rivaria:"yes, if all partners agree, then you can marry any number of people, I don't get it, but I guess that's how marriage work's in this world"
Capaneus:"it's simple, just get the wife or husband's signature on another wedding paper and your set for another spouse, which is the purpose of wedding paper's in the first place"
Bete:"can't we just burn the paper's and forget about the marriage, is it really this hard"
Capaneus:"oh Bete, if it was that easy, then they wouldn't have had marriage paper's in the first place, listen, this is how it work's, you have the bride and groom sign their signature's here on this paper, then a marriage decimator, like a guild member, but more effective and official a marriage or love god, write down the document's needed, and with the permission signatures from a guardian or family member-"
Gareth:"then their's what's missing, since nobody in Sanjouno's family would or could sign for Sanjouno, then she can't get married, it's not official"
Capaneus:"note how I said, "guardian" Gareth, this mean's anyone who is taking care, or taken care off Sanjouno before, like Hestia, who I had sign the paper's for the lovely bride Sanjouno Haruhime and the groom Bell-..."
Capaneus all of a sudden stopped and looked intently at the paper and everyone was wondering what happened to make him stop like this.
Bell:"what's wrong"
Capaneus:"...who wrote the papers"
Bell:"Hera, Enia would have done it, but Hera was assistant on writing it all herself, I told her my name and she signed both mine and Sanjouno's name...although she didn't know how to spell Sanjouno's name very well"
Capaneus:"and she apparently doesn't know how to spell your's either, unless you're Bell Kreanel"
they all looked at the paper's and saw the name misspelled.
Wiene:"does this matter"
Capaneus:"this is great, now the marriage is a shamble since the papers are messed up, the marriage is still a scam"
Lily:"but you nearly messed up badly"
Capaneus:"even the most well-played plan has a few kinks in it, but hey, at least we're safe, now then, let's all go about our day and-"
Sanjouno:"can we talk"
Capaneus:"...alright"
Capaneus's thought's:"I am in no position to say no"
Sanjouno came to the other room as everyone else went on their way leaving the 2 alone.
Sanjouno:"... I think I want to be noticed as the king's niece"
Capaneus was surprised by this and continued to listen letting her explain her reason for this sudden desition.
Sanjouno:"I know it's risky, and also a bad idea, but I have a family again, blood family that is, and if it take's this to have that kind of family again, I'll take it, Capaneus what would you do if you can get family back"
Capaneus paused not to think, but to remember his past and remember that his aunt and uncle are still out their, and know's the experience of family coming back with Gaianda, he knew what to say and how to say it.
Capaneus:"then go to them, let them know you want to be in their family, and spent today with them, you got about all day to yourself now, enjoy it"
Sanjouno cried and hugged Capaneus in happiness and then she went on her way, as she ran she meet up with them and she told them what she wanted.
Alexander:"... I would be proud to have you in our family now, my niece"
they all cried and after they were done, they spent the entire day together and the next day during the tournament, the king had an announcement to the people in the Coliseum.
Capaneus:"look's like their doing it"
Lily:"is this a good idea"
Bell:"let it happen, they seem happy"
then the king announced that Sanjouno was his long-lost niece, and also what happened with Yoshi and all that, in the end, everyone was surprised and really thinking.
Ais:"does this mean she is technically a princess"
Tiona:"so Bell is a knight in shining armor who rescued the princess from an evil monster and they lived happily ever after"
Rivaria:"no that's not-...you know, that actually sound's about right now that I think about it"
Tiona:"aha, I knew it, so Bell is a hero like in the fairy tails"
Finn:"I wouldn't go that far, he's done a lot, but let's not forget that we ourselves done great thing's as well"
Momona:"oh, so you did something like that, or similar Finn"
Finn:"...nevermind"
Momona:"Alright, let's see where we go from here"
the next match was made, and the event was a good one, and Capaneus was staring in it.
