I smiled as everyone cheered inside the carriage, our trip to Las Nevadas had come sooner than we expected. "Sister! You think we can explore a bit before the competition?", asked Tommy. He was too excited, his wings were fluffed up and it was too adorable. "Of course, I don't see why not.", I chuckled. Tubbo and Ranboo were holding hands and suggesting where they could go after we settled down. "I'm glad I didn't bring Sally and Fundy... The length of the trip would be too hard on them.", sighed Wilbur. I looked out before agreeing, the kingdom of Las Nevadas was located in the sunniest part of our country. Some dunes covered the horizon yet everything looked nice and welcoming. A hand took mine and I smiled at my husband, he had removed his mask to look at me. "We can look around when the sun goes down.", he suggested. A smile spread across my lips as he suggested this, he wanted to spend time together just the two of us and I always found it sweet the ways he let me know. "Of course, my King.", I whispered before bringing him close to kiss him. A chorus of 'Ew's and Wilbur sighing dramatically made us laugh as we separated.

Once the carriage stopped we got down and were mesmerized by the kingdom, Quackity had outdone himself. I was tackled by someone and I grinned as I saw the pink crown of forget-me-nots. "Karl!", I smiled. The God grinned before telling us to follow him, the people around us bowed as we walked along the streets. "Your people respect you greatly.", smiled Wilbur. Karl nodded before explaining that they were all former slaves and beggars that had nowhere to go. "You took them all in?", asked Tommy, he was astonished by this fact. Karl smiled and explained that the main reason they created this kingdom was to give those who had nowhere to go, a permanent and stable home. "You all have done a great job.", smiled Techno. The God of Memories look taken back by my husband's compliment but soon smiled and bowed his head. "I'm so glad all you approve of the Kingdom.", he said.

When we arrived at the large castle, two familiar figures came running down the stairs. Sapnap and Quackity waved at us, they looked relieved to see us. "Hello everyone! Glad you could make it!", grinned Sapnap. He came over and greeted everyone before he kissed Karl and hugged him. "Philza and Kristen didn't come?", asked Quackity. Wilbur chimed in and explained that they would arrive tomorrow before the competition.

I smiled at the couple behind the Gods, they both bowed their heads before they introduced themselves. "Greetings, Queen of Veri. I am Minx and this is my husband Schlatt. We are in charge of the events of this week. If you have any questions, we are more than happy to answer them.", smiled the woman. She was quite gorgeous and elegant. Nothing less from a goddess, that's when my eyes focused on her companion. The man next to her was shaking as she finished talking, I tilted my head as I noticed this. Schlatt bursted into a fit of laughter before Minx cleared her throat. "I'm sorry, Goddess. This is the first time my wife speaks so formally.", smirked the man. The woman blushed and began to curse him while hitting him lightly. I laughed as they argued over who was ruder in front of a guest.

"You two aren't really below me for you to speak so formally towards me.", my eyes landed on the man and his burgundy-colored eyes. "Schlatt, God of Wines and Spirits and his wife. Minx, the Goddess of Bravery.", I smiled. They looked a bit embarrassed before Schlatt chuckled and offered me a glass of wine. "I believe this suits your taste, (Y/n).", he smirked. I thanked him before taking a sip from the cup he had offered me. It was the same wine that I tasted in Triox years ago. "Schlatt knows all wines and spirits people and Gods love even when they forget.", smiled Minx. She touched my hair and I smiled as a beautiful gold rose appeared there.

My family was already behind me when I finished talking with Schlatt and Minx. Everyone introduced themselves before Minx went over to shake hands with Tubbo, they both gasped as beautiful yellow cactus flowers sprouted not only from Minx's arm but Tubbo's arm as well. "Sorry! I just awakened as a God and I-", Tubbo froze as he looked at Minx. She was in tears and smiled before she shook her head. "It's alright. My powers go berzerk now and again.", she laughed softly. She let go of Tubbo's hand yet the flowers kept growing on Tubbo's arm. Minx carefully took hold of his hands before she whispered in the sweetest voice. "Relax, bumblebee.", she smiled. Tubbo relaxed as soon as she had said that and the flowers all disappeared before I could thank her, Tubbo was falling forward. The goddess gasped before she held him in a gentle hug. Ranboo came over and took Tubbo as he had fallen asleep from the command. Minx apologized to me before she excused herself, Schlatt noticed and also excused himself before going after his wife. "Karl, please take the boys to their room while I escort Wilbur, Techno, and (Y/n).", frowned Quackity. Sapnap joined him and even carried Tubbo as they headed to their rooms.

Once Quackity showed us to our rooms, we thanked him. "Quackity... I'd like to visit Schlatt and Minx...", I smiled. Techno held my hand as I asked this, Quackity smiled before telling me where they could be. "Thank you.", I said before he left to find his husbands. "Sister?", frowned Wilbur as he came closer. My eyes met with his curious golden-colored ones, I smiled before telling him that it was nothing to worry about. I waved at Wilbur as he entered his room, Techno and I headed over to the bar where Quackity said we could find the couple, and thankfully both were there. Minx's eyes looked a bit red and puffy from crying most likely while Schlatt looked a bit too serious as he wiped a glass. "Hello, we'd like a drink.", I chirped as I took a seat with Techno. My husband looked a bit uneasy since he didn't drink much but ordered a drink as well. "That wine is a bit too hard on ya. Here, Kid.", said Schlatt as he placed a clear wine in front of Techno and another cup to me. We thanked him before the silence was cut by my question. "You're his parents, aren't you?", I smiled. The couple froze before Minx let out a long sigh, she nodded and explained that it was without a doubt their son that had been taken from them.

"We looked for him all over the place but all we could find was his bee. It was a gift I made for him... He probably doesn't remember but he never left without it.", smiled Minx as she held a small bee plushie. I asked if I could hold it and she nodded, a smile appeared on my lips as I saw 'TUBBO' sewn on the butt of the bee. "When will you tell him?", asked Techno. The couple looked worried before they shook their heads. "That kid looks happy... He's royalty now and as far as we can see he has someone that loves him dearly.", smiled Schlatt as he crossed his arms. Minx looked at the toy in my hands and I apologized as I handed it over, she thanked me before she held it close. "As long as we found out he was alive and well... We're happy.", she smiled. Yellow cactus flowers began to bloom in pots all over the bar as she said that. "He got my powers, didn't he?", she grinned. I nodded and began to tell her all about his life with us. The Goddess listened and apologized as tears fell, Schlatt also listened as he served us more wine.

After we were done, they both thanked us for taking care of their son before Schlatt looked at Techno. "Technoblade... I have a request...", he frowned. My husband looked at the God before he nodded, we were both surprised as he requested that Tubbo not participate in the tournament. "We've just seen him after so long... People get hurt in these things... We rather not see him injured.", frowned Minx. We nodded before reassuring them that Tubbo would be okay.

We walked away from the bar and headed back towards the castle. "You looked worried, (Y/n)...", said Techno. I shook my head before confessing that I felt bad for the couple. "Tubbo needs to know about his parents... He wanted to find them and they have been looking for him ever since he was taken.", I frowned. Techno brought me close before I relaxed, he reassured me that he would find a way to make them all meet again to talk. I thanked him before wrapping my arms around his torso, we stayed like that for a minute before he reminded me of our little date. "Right... Sorry, love.", I said. Techno shook his head before we headed back to our room to change.

I blushed as the dress Eret gave me a rather revealing look, it wasn't bad but it did make me feel a bit nervous about how my husband would react. I turned as Techno exited the bathroom, he wore a black suit and a black and gold mask. His hair was braided to one side with his crown placed on the nightstand instead of his head. I had to admit he looked more handsome than usual but I kept that to myself. His eyes looked up to meet mine before he blushed.

"H-How do I look?", I stuttered as I gave him a small spin. I yelped as he came over and kissed me, my face burned as we had a small makeout session before he smirked and caressed my cheek. "I like it but I'd prefer you without it.", he teased. The voices began to act up as he said this, giving me steamy comments about him. He chuckled and asked me how he looked. I cleared my throat as the comments in my head became more inappropriate. "You looked quite handsome if I'm honest.", I blushed. A chorus of 'NOooOoooO's echoed as I pushed the voices to the back of my mind. Techno chuckled and leaned down to place a mask over my eyes. I looked at my heels before wondering if I could handle being in those for so long. "Sit down.", said Techno before he sat me down to put my heels on. "You're too sweet.", I smiled.

My wings stretched a bit before they disappeared and a large tattoo was displayed on my back. This technique made it convenient for me to walk around in crowded places now. I was glad that I finally had mastered it while traveling around with my husband. Philza and Kristen made it seem easy but it was a bit difficult for Wilbur to do it, he had become accustomed to using his wings all the time. Tommy on the other hand was able to learn it quickly and had claimed that it was better since he always found them an obstacle for training.

My husband's hand massaged my back, making me snap out of my thoughts. "Does it looked weird?", I asked. Techno smiled before telling me that it looked nice especially with the dress I was wearing. I nodded and took hold of his arm as he offered it, we walked down to the casino. It was breathtaking to see such a large room filled with games and sight of gold and other precious gems.

It wasn't surprising to see so many people gathered there to win quick cash. Some people turned to look at us as we entered the casino, I offered a smile before my husband's arm wrapped around my waist. "So possessive.", I smirked. Techno hummed before assuring me that he didn't need to wrap his arm around me to show them who my husband was. "Very true, my King.", I whispered before tugging him down to kiss him. The women that were ogling my husband quickly looked away as I glared at them. Techno laughed softly as I separated, we headed for a table and played for a bit.

After finding the table filling up with players for the last round, Techno sat me in his lap as he noticed a man next to me touch my arm so casually. "I'd keep my hands to myself if you want to continue breathing.", frowned Techno. I could see the panic in the dealers eyes before I wrapped my arms around my husbands neck. "You're winning so we can move tables after this game.", I whispered. My husband agreed and asked if I wanted to play against him in the next game. This made a smirk spread on my lips before I asked what the winner could receive. "Well, the loser would be submissive to the winner in any way they want.", he whispered. A blush spread on my cheeks as the whisper made me shiver, this seemed to satisfy the Blood God as he got up with me to collect his rewards after winning.

We went to the next table to see that it was roulette. The table was cleared and we both sat down while the other players were informed that this was a private game, I tilted my head before I looked up at the balcony that served as a lookout. There on the balcony was the trio of lovers, they all smirked and lifted their glasses at my husband and me. I smiled before I took a glass of wine from one of the waiters, my husband also noticed them after I lifted my glass, he followed my example. We began to play and my confidence began to swell as I won the last three rounds, we had decided that the winner had to win 4 rounds out of 7. The dealer continued until Techno tied with me, I sighed and drank my wine as I looked over at my husband. He smiled as he lifted his wine glass at me. "Let's go all-in and see what luck decides on, my Queen.", he smiled.

I nodded before lifting my glass after it was refilled, the dealer asked us to wait while he confirmed if we could do that with our large sum of money. I looked at the trio to see them all grinning before they all nodded at the dealer. Much to my luck, my bets came out triumphant. I heard Sapnap and Karl howling with laughter as Quackity looked like he was crying. "They betted on which one of you would win.", smiled the dealer. A smile spread on my lips and my eyes met with my beloved husband's. "Guess this means I can ask for anything?", I smirked as I collect my chips. Technoblade chuckled before he placed the glass down and sighed, we got up and headed to the cage where I was given a large sum of gold. "Take this to my room.", I requested my familiar. The wolf wagged it's tail before taking the bag to the room, I took hold of my Techno's hand before guiding him out to one of the balconies.

"So, that offer you told me about before we sat at the table... Does it still stand?", I asked. An adorable hue of pink dusted Techno's cheeks before he cleared his throat and nodded. My hand removed his mask and mine before I kissed him. He smiled before placing me carefully on the railing, his arms held me close. My lips trailed down his jaw before I placed a mark there.

"I've always wanted to see how much I can tease you~..."
