-Mention of war

"But, I can't be king if I disappeared." 

Dream, Sapnap, and George snapped their heads towards him in shock, "WAIT WHA-" Sapnap sat up faster than you can say 'Dream' and Wilbur slapped his hand on his mouth not allowing him to yell anything else. "SHH! Be quiet." 

"How can we?! You expect us not to freak out after you just said that you might disappear!?" Sapnap said a bit quieter, "I'm going to run away." Wilbur stated, the others stayed silent as they stared at each other. "B-But why!? Y-Your coronation is soon and you can't just run away!" George stuttered. 

"I can and I will, can't you see that I hate being the Crowned Prince? If running away will make me not be the Crowned Prince, then so be it." Wilbur said crossing his arms, "I want to make music, not live this life, I want to be free and there's nothing you can do to stop it." 

"Well, if you're going, then I'm going with you." Sapnap stated, Dream and George looked at him in shock. "W-What?" Wilbur stuttered, "I'm going with you, I can't stand to see my best friend suffering to the point of running away." Sapnap pouted. 

"Then I'm going too!" Dream speaks up, "M-Me too!" George stutters, "Wha- you- but-" Wilbur stumbles over his words before clearing his throat to start over, "You all wanna go with me?" 

"Of course! If you go, then we go together!" Dream exclaims, "That's great and all, but what about Puffy?" Wilbur asks, "We can ask her later, I just know she's gonna agree. But she might feel sad, we're her kids after all." Dream frowns. 

"Well, that's up to you." Wilbur shrugged, "Anyways, it's almost 3 now so you should get going. The party starts at 7 so you should get ready." He added, "Aww, but it's gonna be no fun without you." Sapnap whines clinging onto Wilbur's leg. 

"You're gonna see me again in a few hours, it's not that bad." Wilbur said trying to get Sapnap off his leg. "But-" Sapnap got cut off by a knocking on the door, "Come in!" Wilbur yelled. 

The door opened to reveal Puffy and Kristin, "Boys, we have to get going now. We have to get ready for the party." Puffy explained as Sapnap whined. "But I wanna stay with Wil!" 

"Still acts like a kid." She sighed quietly, not quiet enough apparently cause Sapnap heard what she said and yelled, "AM NOT!" Puffy laughed, "You'll see him later on at the party, now come, or else I'm taking away Blaze."

Sapnap let out a gasp, "You wouldn't." "Oh, I would." Puffy smirked, "Hmph, fine." Sapnap let go of Wilbur's leg and pouted, Puffy smiled. "Good, now say goodbye to everyone and we'll be off." 

Everyone said goodbye to each other and left, now Wilbur was alone again, he still had hours before dinner so he decided to make a plan. The security was tight at the castle but he knew one way to escape. He looked out his window and saw the huge walls surrounding the castle preventing anyone from going in and out. The walls had guards stationed almost everywhere.

The was an old side gate that no one ever used, it was used as an emergency escape route during the war all those years ago. But since then, it was never used again. Wilbur knew the castle like the back of his hand, he knew where the guards were stationed, he knew when the guards had their breaks, and he knew exactly the perfect time to escape. 

He was going to go at midnight, the time when very few guards were on duty. He was going to sneak through the hallway and into the garden, then he was going to make his way to the Royal Stables, where the royal horses were kept. Then he was going to get his horse Sapphire and then comes the final step-

"Wilbur! It's your father, I need you in my study in 5 minutes." Philza yelled as he knocked harshly on the door, "I-I'll be there father!" He said stuttering a bit, he made sure that Philza heard him and left before going to his wardrobe to put on his cape.

Wilbur took one last glance at himself in the mirror before setting off to his father's study. He knocked and walked in after hearing a faint "Come in!" from inside the room. He opened the door and walked in to see Philza sitting at his desk doing some paperwork. "You asked for me?" 

"Yes, I did. Now, your coronation will be in a day so we will need you to memorize some things for it." Philza explained, "Of course, father." Wilbur bowed, Philza hummed. "Great, now do this paperwork will you?" 

Wilbur nervously stood there as Philza picked up a stack of paperwork and dropped it in his hands, nearly making him stumble forward. "I want this paperwork done by tomorrow afternoon. Now off you go." 

"Of course, father." Wilbur sighed, trying not to groan as he left the room, 'Stupid paperwork.' Wilbur thought as he went back to his room to do the paperwork. He set the paperwork down on his desk and sighed. Welp, if his dad wanted it to be done by tomorrow afternoon, then he should do it now since he has some spare time. 

Wilbur sat on his chair and started doing the paperwork. 

~Time Skip~

2 hours passed and Wilbur finished half of all the paperwork that needed to be done, he sighed and put his pen down, he definitely needed a break. He stood up from his desk and decided to shower. He looked at the clock in his room, '05:15 PM'

He went into his bathroom, grabbed a towel on the way, and started showering. 

~15 Minutes later~

Wilbur quickly fixed his shirt and walked out of his dressing room, he looked at the clock, '05:30 PM'

He still had 30 minutes until dinner starts so he might as well continue the paperwork, Wilbur sat on his chair with a sigh and continued. Another 15 minutes passed and now the brunette was sitting on his bed reading a book. After 10 minutes of doing paperwork he gave up and decided to just read. 

He eventually got bored with the book and closed it with a sigh, he placed the book back in the bookshelf and decided to go to the dining room. He walked into his dressing room first to put on his crown and cape, as the Crowned Prince, he must always use his crown and cape when going out of the castle, meeting other royals, and meeting his parents. 

He hummed as he let his cape fall behind his outstretched wings, he never really got to use them to fly or do anything like that. He only ever used them when his friends were around or when he was alone. He also rarely showed his wings, not that it wasn't allowed, he just wanted to feel like a normal person, so he always kept his wings tucked behind his cape.

Wilbur made sure that he looked okay before finally leaving his room, he opened the door and prayed that no one was in the hallway because he had his wings outstretched, keeping them outstretched felt nice as he rarely does it.

The door beside his clicked open, and out came his twin brother Technoblade. "Hey, Wil."
