A Royal disaster

Chapter: Thirteen

POV: Cronus.

I awake in the hospital the next morning. The doctors come and tell me I've been lucky. Apparently one of my lenses got stuck in my eye. They had to do an eye surgery. They also told me not to drink any alcohol in the future. I was lucky that my liver didn't collapse immediately. I thanked them and they told me I could leave.

I see no one I know in the waiting room. How disappointing. I go to the front desk and ask the kind lady behind the counter if there was anyone that visited me. She told me one troll had come to check up on me, but they wanted to stay anonymous. Fucking fantastic. I thanked her and left. Or at least tried to because I was violently jerked back by someone. It was another doctor. And here I was thinking I had friends.

"Siir, II have to give you the2e new gla22e2. They have a diifferent prescriiptiion becau2e we could very accurately test your eye2."
"Thank you doctor..."
"Doctor P2iioniic, or P2ii for 2hort."

"Thanks doctor Psi. Can I leavwe nowv?"
"Ye2. Travel 2afely!"

Once I was back home I saw Meenah sitting in my living room.

"Wvhat the fuck are you of all people doing here?"
"W)(ale, I decided to tell you we're getting married w)(en it's fall!"
"Oh my cod... are you kidding?"
"Nope. T)(is is 100 percent reel! I'm so excited! Aren't you?"
"Yeah... so excited..."
"You don't reelly sound like it. Cronus is somefin wrong? We can talk about it after we discuss the budget for t)(e wedding!"

"I wvant that you go awvay."
"Come again."
"Leavwe."
"No. We are promised. We will marry."

"Don't wvanna."
")(ave to."
"Not gonna."
"Bitc)(."

"Slut."
"W)(ore."
"Ugly cuttlefish."
"TAKE T)(AT BACK! YOU GAY MORON!"
"I'm not gay!"
"I see )(ow you look at Kankri Vantas. I've seen it all Cronus."
"You knowv next to nothing. Stay out of my life."
"We'll be )(usband and wife pretty soon. I would say goodbye to )(im. He isn't going to work for us. We'll rule my country! Eridan can take over yours. It all works out so good."
"Her Imperial Condescension wvont retire unless you marry, amirite?"

"NO!"
"So I am."

"I will out you on live television. Everyone will watc)( the crowning of the new king."

"You wvouldn't dare. Evwen you aren't that lowv."
"Watc)( your back Cronus... watc)( your back."

She just storms out of the apartment. Her words were still echoing through my head. Watch your back, she said. I don't know why but I get the sudden urge to just, call Kankri. So that's exactly what I do.

And I wait... and I wait some more...
