Ban pov

"So what are you going to do?" King asks as he works on the dress and I pause for a moment trying to decide whether I should actually tell him one of the options

"I... I might kill her after Danny dies" I tell him

"What?!" He says shocked

"(Y/n) will have had a full life by then and she'd be miserable again without him, I don't want that for her" I explain

"But after some time (y/n) would get over his death then you could tell her how you feel and spend the rest of eternity together like you planned" king tells me

"She could still reject me!" I say sadly
"Also there's a little more that I could get from killing (y/n)" I say quieter

"Like What?!" King asks

"Well there's all the memory of the people that have been killed with endarah and I know that's including powerful spells" I start to explain

"What and you think being stronger is worth her life?! " King asks sounding mad

"No! of course not!" I shout and I look down and there's silence for a second
"When we were in the kingdom of liones I contacted the goddess race with the Horn of Cernunnos I asked what I could do to bring back elaine" I told king

"And?" King asks

"They said they would bring her back if I killed (Y/n)" I said quietly

"What?!" King says not knowing exactly how to react

"I knew I had to but when I got the chance I couldn't, (Y/n) begged me to kill her! I kept trying to get myself to kill her! then (y/n) told me she figured out how to temporarily revive the dead" I explain

"Y-you, got to see elaine!" King realized

"I talked to Elaine, I told her that I could bring her back. I wanted her to tell me to kill (Y/n) so maybe I could finally do it" I take a deep breath trying not to cry
"but she told me I should be with (y/n)" I told him my voice breaking
"Then I talked to you and I was finally going to tell (y/n) how I feel about her, I got so close to telling her. Then Danny found her" I finish

"You could still tell her!" King tells me

"Yeah right! and have her reject me! sure it hurts to not be with her but to have her actually tell me she doesn't love me! I would go insane!" I shout

"Then why were you going to tell her how you feel about her before Danny? If you're so scared of reject!" King asks and my heart stops for a second

"I've seen how happy Danny makes her, no matter how much it hurts to see him make her smile, she's finally smiling the way I want her to. She doesn't smile like that for me anymore" I say sadly

"Probably because she thinks she doesn't have a chance because you're still in love with Elaine" king says making me think

'What if I'm not in love with elaine? What if all my feelings for (y/n) were directed at elaine after I forgot about (y/n)' I shake my head getting rid of the ridiculous thought

"Ban, I know this is a hard question and elaine's my sister and (y/n) is like a sister to me so I don't really expect you to give me an answer, but if both (y/n) and elaine were alive and in love with you what would you do?" King asks and I take a long moment before saying anything

"I think I know the answer to that" I say almost crying

"Do I get to know?" King asks but I just shake my head not because I don't want him to know but because I might break more if I said it out loud

(Y/n) pov

"Diane where are we going?" I ask as me, gowther and Elizabeth follow her through the town

"I told you it's a surprise for your bachelorette party" Diane explained

"Then why aren't you doing it tomorrow?" I ask

"Because me and Ban decided we need yours and Danny's party at different times so gowther can decide which one was better!" Diane explained

"And you think gowther would be the best person to decide what party is better?" I raised an eyebrow

"I can observe the mental state of everyone while there have having fun" gowther tells me with no emotion

"I guess but you try to have fun too, ok?" I say to him

"I do not normally enjoy things like this, but I will try" gowther replies

"Good" I smile at him then Diane suddenly pulls me into a building

"Hey!" I shout before I look around the room

"Do you like it?" Diane asks and I look around seeing balloons, cups, chairs, and all sorts of things all shaped like a very specific Male body part

"This is amazing" I giggle, gowther looks around confused and Elizabeth seems uncomfortable the I quickly cover Elizabeth's eyes with my hands

"(Y/n)?" She says confused

"Sorry I think you're to young for this kind of party" I tell her

"Come on (y/n) I'm sure Elizabeth would be married off to someone right now if it wasn't for the war. She can have fun" Diane pulls my hands away from Elizabeth

"Okayyy... But it seems like just yesterday Eli was just a little girl that ran around the castle" I say right before Diane pull my arm getting me to sit down so we can start the first game
