Part Two

(Bill)

I help Dipper load our things onto the carriage.

"I can't believe I'm doing this," he says with a grin on his face.

"But you are," I smile.

"King Cipher?" An annoying voice asks.

I turn around and see Princess Vivian running towards me.

"Hello Your Highness! I was just wondering if we could perhaps... ride together? Since we might be getting married... We should get to know one another!" She says.

I hear Dipper drop a bag behind me.

I bite my bottom lip.

"I'm... very fatigued... So I might not be up for conversation I'm afraid," I lie.

She frowns and looks at the ground.

"O-Oh... Ok... I'll see you later then," she says walking away.

"Is she going to be like this the whole trip?" Dipper asks hugging my from behind.

I grab one of his hands and kiss it.

"Probably..." I say as I sigh.

"I'll have to spend some time with her... Otherwise... the forced marriage might be worse than it would originally be," I say.

"I see..." Mason says letting me go.

He puts the last bag in the carriage.

"Soo... Is that it?" He asks.

I nod and open the door.

"After you," I say smiling.

Dipper grins and steps into the carriage.

A Few Hours Later-

(Dipper)

I help other servants set up tents.

"Your Majesty? Your tent is ready," I say to Bill.

He turns to me and smiles.

"Give me a minute... I'm talking to Vivian," he says.

"O-Oh... Sorry for the interruption," I say backing away.

I lean against some empty crates outside the thin tent.

I hear Vivian laugh.

"You're so funny Bill... I can't wait till we get married and have children!" She says.

"Slow down there Vivian," Bill says a little worried.

I hold back tears as I bang the back of my head against the wooden crates.

"Sorry Bill... I just feel... a connection between us..." the princess purrs.

"Yes... A best friend perhaps," Bill says.

"Why not more?"

"Well..."

Bill sighs.

"This is just for the alliance. You are a great woman, but... I don't feel the same way," he says.

I smile a little.

Vivian sighs.

"Maybe things will change... Maybe you will change."

"Maybe."

I hear shuffling and run away.

The princess walks out of the tent and to her own.
