Chapter 17: Wedding Preparations

The Kingdom of Veri celebrated the engagement that we announced. The people quickly began preparations to decorate the kingdom for our wedding. I smiled as I rode through the streets, there wasn't a citizen in the kingdom that didn't congratulate me while I patrolled with Tommy. "Sister? Will this wedding be soon?", he asked. I smiled and nodded, explaining that the wedding needed time to prepare. A group of children ran over to Carl and I patted the horse. Tommy and I got down and greeted the children. "Your Majesty! Please accept these flowers to use in your bouquet!", blushed the oldest. I leaned down and grinned as they handed me beautiful flowers. "Thank you, love. I'll use them!", I smiled. The boy hugged me and I chuckled as the children all asked for hugs as well. Once the children left, I looked at Tommy who looked a bit angry. "What's wrong, Tommy?", I asked. My brother pouted as he held the flowers that the children had given me. "Now that Sister is becoming the Queen... I have to share you more... What if Sister doesn't have time to play with me anymore.", he mumbled. My crows appeared and took the flowers from Tommy, he gasped and was about to protest before I engulfed him in a hug. "Tommy... You along with our family... All of you are my priority. You guys are the most important aspect of my life, becoming queen isn't something I really look forward to. To me, it's just another responsibility!", I smiled before making him look at me. Tommy held back his tears before he nodded, he rubbed his eyes before telling me that we had to continue our patrol. "Right.", I chuckled and we got back on Carl.

When we arrived at the castle, Techno was waiting for us. "Techno! I protected Big Sister as you told me!", grinned my brother as Techno helped him down. The Blood God smirked and thanked him before telling him that Kristen was looking for him. I waved as Tommy hurried inside to find our mother, a pair of hands helped me down before I smiled. "You sent him to shoo people away from me, didn't you?", I smirked at my fiance. He kissed me before humming. "I haven't the slightest idea of what you're talking about, my queen.", mused Techno. As we entered, Mark came over and asked us about the wedding preparations, I laughed as our butler was panicking. We all headed to a drawing room and sat at a table. "I didn't think a wedding needed so much planning...", sighed Techno as he remained standing. Mark and I looked at the King with a mutual feeling of exasperation. I sighed before helping Mark with the list of guests that needed to be invited.

Techno hugged me from behind as he watched me and Mark work. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I'm glad our King found someone as trustworthy as you.", smiled the butler. I smiled and waved as he left out the door, my fiance sighed and snuggled his face into my hair. "You're tired?", I asked. Techno shook his head and stayed there for a minute. "I hope this wedding goes as planned.", he sighed before guiding us to the couch. He let go and I sat down, my fiance sat down before laying his head on my lap. "Can I play with your hair?", I whispered lovingly. He smiled and closed his eyes before telling me that he didn't mind. My fingers ran through his soft pink hair and I hummed a soft tune as we relaxed in our drawing room. Our peaceful moment was interrupted as the door opened, I looked up to see a gorgeous woman looking at us. Techno sat up and frowned at the woman. "Ni-", he didn't even finish before she was hugging me tightly. She sobbed softly as she held me tighter, I was speechless before my arms wrapped around her. The woman had beautiful blonde hair and her eyes were a gorgeous sky blue, she hiccupped as I wiped her tears away. "Hello, my name is (Y/n). May I know your name?", I smiled. She looked completely embarrassed as she saw Techno with his arms crossed, she let go of me and cleared her throat.

"I-I'm sorry! I'm the Goddess of Love. My name is Nihachu.", she blushed. She was one of the Deci, so she most likely knew me as her fellow sibling back then. "It's so nice to meet you! I apologize if I don't remember any of our memories from our past...", I frowned. Nihachu shook her head and took my hands as she smiled. "It's okay! I just couldn't hold back from meeting you any longer! Kristen permitted me to come to see you after she confirmed that you were told about the past.", explained Nihachu. She also explained that she was the Goddess in charge of Solis but we didn't meet back then because of my mother's request. "I'm also here to help you plan your wedding!", smiled the Goddess. I thanked her and I could see that Techno wanted to continue our time together. "You must be tired, Nihachu. Mark, our butler, will guide you to your room. Please rest and we'll chat some more at dinner.", I smiled. On cue, Mark appeared and asked the goddess to follow him, Nihachu hugged me once again before she tackled Mark in a hug.

"They seem close.", I smiled. Techno laid back down on my lap before he hummed. "She was one of the first gods to offer me help after I became King. She knows most of my people here and so does Puffy.", said Techno. I began to massage his face after he was done talking, there was a soft knock on the door and Ranboo came in. "Mother... Can I go with Big Sister Niki?", he asked. A smile appeared on my lips before I told him it was fine, he thanked me before quietly closing the door. "She's already conquering the kids.", sighed Techno. I leaned down and kissed him, this made a smile appear on his lips before he sat up. He brought me into his lap and laid his chin on my shoulder. He leaned back and I did the same, we didn't talk or do anything special. We sat and enjoyed our presence with each other. "I just thought of a pair that can come help you with your dress.", said Techno before taking hold of my hands. He asked for one of my crows, explaining that he would send a letter to them before dinner. I thanked him and before we knew it, we were called for dinner. We walked to the dining room and greeted everyone, we all chatted about different things. I immediately saw that the children and my family were getting along perfectly well with Nihachu. She was lovely and so kind that I personally wouldn't doubt that she was a goddess.

A few days after Nihachu arrived, a carriage stopped in front of the castle and a pair got off. Techno joined me as our guests entered. "Milady, I present you Mademoiselle Alyssa and Sir Callahan from Triox.", smiled Mark. Alyssa bowed and Callahan did the same, I greeted them and asked them to join me in the drawing-room. I could see that Alyssa had some power in Triox because even though they didn't say anything I could see that the man next to her was a knight. A royal knight to King George that I had seen a few times, Callahan noticed me staring and bowed his head slightly. I smiled and opened the door to the room, I watched as Alyssa opened her bag and begin to prepare everything. Once she was done she turned to face me. "I'll be taking your measurements now, Your Majesty.", said Alyssa. She wore a mask on the bottom half of her face yet her large blue eyes showed she was smiling. I nodded and allowed her to take the measurements needed, next Callahan left for the carriage. My eyes widened as the man and my butler came back with rolls of fabric. "Oh! Don't tell me you'll begin to make the dress here.", I frowned. Alyssa chuckled and Callahan looked our way. "I've already drawn some designs for you to choose from.", she said and handed me her sketchbook.

Technoblade excused himself and so did Mark, I waved and chose a nice design from the rest. "Excellent choice, Your Majesty.", said Alyssa. I smiled and took her hand, her eyes widened a bit. "Just (Y/n) is fine.", I grinned. The woman laughed softly and nodded excitedly before she told Callahan what measurements to cut. I watched with enthusiasm as the two worked harmoniously together. "Are you two related?", I asked. Callahan looked at me before he shook his head. "We're childhood friends. Please excuse Callahan... He's mute...", said Alyssa. I nodded and asked if they needed help, this time Callahan was the one to surprise me, he smiled and shook his head. Before I knew it, they were almost done with the dress. "You really should take a break, Alyssa.", I frowned. The woman giggled softly before she put some things away. "You are a good friend of Dream and George, that means I should work hard. They're excited to see how beautiful you look in one of my dresses.", said Alyssa. I chuckled and couldn't wait to see them all either, after all, they were all good friends.

"Well, at least both of you should take a lunch break with me and my family.", I grinned. The pair nodded before Alyssa thanked me. Once we took a seat in the dining room, I watched everyone as they discussed the future and ate. I noticed that Techno looked a bit pale before I took hold of his hand, that felt like a mistake as a splitting headache invaded my body. "What's wrong?", he whispered. I patted his hand before I calmed my breathing. "I need to lay down...", I whispered. Techno nodded before he excused us, Wilbur followed close behind asking what was wrong with both of us. "I just have a headache and Techno is a bit tired, Wilbur.", I smiled. His ombré colored wings tensed before he advised us to head to our room and rest. "Of course... Please head back and make sure everyone doesn't worry.", said Techno before picking me up. We bathed together and changed before we laid in bed. "Sleep...", whispered Techno, holding me close. I nodded before telling him to sleep as well.

My eyelids closed and I began to dream of my days in my village before I became a goddess. The forest of Alieus looked the same, magical and full of life. My village was bustling with everyone working hard for the upcoming winter. My mother and I were in a field collecting berries before I begged her to play with me. She always gave in and laughed as she chased me through the forest.

"Okay, time to head back, baby! We need to cook food for Papa!"

I'd giggle before running back to her, my mother's smile was so beautiful. I reached for her face but my hands touched her burnt skin and blood oozed onto my hands.

"You're a Goddess now yet you couldn't even save your own mother, (Y/n)?"

My eyes widened as she gripped my neck and began to squeeze it. My eyes filled with tears, begging her to forgive me yet she kept screaming at me. Her lovely (e/c) eyes were full of hatred and sadness, my tiny hands tried to pull her bigger hands off me but it was useless.

"You caused this! You think you deserve this happiness you have now?!"

That's when it hit me, my mother would never blame me for her death. She was the sweetest person along with my father, no one in my village would ever throw their deaths onto me. I sighed and my small hand became my regular-sized hand as I gripped the specter's head. "Regis Azure.", I mumbled. The creature screeched in my dreams as it was consumed in blue flames. I got up and began to walk towards my village only to fall to my knees. I looked at how it was consumed by bright red flames and screams echoed in my head.

A figure stood there, a few feet away from me at the entrance. The large figure turned but the shadows hid their face as they turned back, the only feature I could distinguish was bright red eyes burning into mine. "Techno?", I whispered. The figure began to approach me as they raised their arm, the blue shine of a diamond sword came down to strike me. I screamed and jolted up, someone held me as I fought for a minute. To my relief, it was Philza. My eyes focused before I saw Kristen handing Techno a cup of water. They all looked worried yet I could see that Philza was slightly angry. Once I was settled down, Philza crossed his arms and looked at me. "Who taught you death magic?", he frowned.

My body tensed and I could see that my fiancé was confused by the question. "Now, Dear... it's not-", Kristen chuckled as Philza frowned at her. "So it was you... Sit down with her now.", he sighed. It felt funny having Kristen next to me as we got scolded for using Death magic. Since neither of us was connected to Amon, that magic could harm our bodies after every usage. We apologize before Philza asked me what had happened in my dreams. Before I could say anything my mind went blank, I sat there before looking at my hands that were in my lap.

"I... I can't remember anymore..."
