The Queen's traitress

150 years before banishment.

"I need your help.", I hear the familiar voice say and I let myself fall from the tree.

"I'm sure you do Finn. But I'm off-duty today so if you don't mind, I have this book and-"

"My parents have found a princess to marry me to. ", he cuts me and that makes me look at him.

He looks desperate and I understand why. Although with my status I will never get married or put in an arranged marriage, I know that Finn always hoped to be able to choose who he was going to marry.

"I'm sorry Finn if I could do something you know I would."

"What if you could?", he says but his voice sounds a little scared and he doesn't look at me.

"What do you mean?", I ask unsure.

"Would you marry me?". he asks and I can't control my surprised expression when I look at him.

He seems to interpret it as a no and nod slowly.

"It was stupid anyway, I'm sorry about that.", he mutters and I put my hand on his shoulder.

"I'll marry you Finn.", I answer and I realized the moment that i say yes what I just agreed to.

What did I do? I'm a soldier, I don't have time to be in a relationship, plus, it would put him in danger. The King could use Finn against me.

But I can't say anything because he has tears of joy in his eyes and I realize that maybe he won't mind me being always gone if it means that he's not married to a stranger.

"Ava, I love you so much you're the best wife I could ever had!", he exclaims and I laugh because there are many women that would be a better wife than me.

I look a Finn for a moment, we've known each other for many years now. I would like to say that I had a positive influence of me but all I influenced him to do was look sluttier.

Not that it looks bad on him. Not at all.

"Now what are you thinking about Ava?", he asks and I can see in his eyes that he saw me undress him mentally.

But there is way too much people here and I know that we have to let his parents know about the news if we want them to stop the arranged marriage.

"That we better get going before your ass get caught in an arranged marriage.", I answer before beginning to walk towards the town.

"I know that it's not what you were thinking about!", he exclaims but he just laughs and grip my hand before walking in the town.

I look at him in the corner of my eyes and when I see him looking at me too I chuckle.

"We're going to become way too cute soon enough Finn. Stop looking at me like that.", I say and I can feel his hand tightening around mine when some people from the upper class look at our hands intertwined.

"It'll be fine Finn. Breathe."

----

"It didn't go too bad now did it?", he asks me and I throw him over me and he makes a humph before leaning against the pillow and looking at me.

His wings are covering us like a blanket and push them away.

"Keep your wings on your side mister I have big wings and I want to show them off.", I say and he rolls his eyes.

"You're just jealous that yours looks like a hummingbird's.", he answers but he moves his wing nonetheless.

"If I had big ass eagle wings you could be sure that I would not act like you.", I say but he knows damn well that I would.

He's nice enough not to answer to that and put his arms behind his head and look at the ceiling.

"What is going to happen when you'll go on missions?", he asks and I know that although it is the first time he talks to me about it, it's not the first time he is wondering about it.

"I don't know. I can be gone for a long time. I don't want you to be alone.", I state and he turns his heard towards me.

"Are you implying that we should see other people?", he says, frowning.

I shrug. We've been friends for a long time before and just because we are going to get married does not mean we have to change everything about our relationship.

"I never minded before. Do you?", I finally answer.

He inhales a big breath and finally exhales.

"No. Not if I know that you'll be back to me at the end."

I think about the meaning of his sentence and I realized that it is not something new in our relationship either. We always talked about sex and our adventures with other people while knowing that our main lover was each other.

"I will.", I answer and he smiles.

"I know."
