Third Persons POV

●Lucitor Castle● Garden Parlor●

Bill furrowed his eyebrows in concentration, Dipper was making the weirdest of faces. His plump lips pointed downwards, his brows furrowed like mimic of Bills, but something haunted those eyes. He didn't know what but he wanted his beloved to snap out of it.

"Pinetree?" He spoke softly, like a hunter trying to calm a frightened cervitaur. He slowly settled his hand on Dippers shoulder, his thumb rubbing circles on his darlings shoulder blades in an attempt to calm the raging whirl  pool that is this human.

Coughing slightly, Dipper straightened a little before looking away.

" Its nothing Bill." His voice was nothing more than a whisper, but Bill heard it loud and clear. Huffing at the clear dismissal,  using his other hand Bill turned the meatsack to face him.

" Pinetree, somethings wrong you can't hide from me-" Dippers eyes shifted to meet those ones in front of him, while huffing in agitation"- and don't think that this conversation is over darling. Cause after i find out what's going on were definitely talking, a long talk." There was a unfamiliar finality in his voice, Dipper felt his throat clog up at the force of those simple words. Nervousness flared around his being at the unmistakable promise.

Dipper nodded and took a seat beside Marco, while Bill took a seat across from him just beside Death.

The two older women looked and each other and shook their heads in annoyance. Though the others didn't know the reason, they didn't question it for the sake of security in the saying ' ignorance is a bliss' when both womens eyes flashed in mischief and determination.

" Dude you guys ok?" Marco turned to Dipper in question.

"Yeah." Was the mumbled reply.

" Your expression earlier didn't look ok." The safe kid retorted, raising an eyebrow.

"Look just leave me alone for a few." Dipper snapped in irritation, though he regretted it a few moments later but didn't express it.

Knowing better than to argue , Marco pouted and narrowed his eyes before turning away. They were getting along before, but he could weirdly understand his attitude. Based on his reactions and attitude earlier he believed himself to be human, but then he found out he was something else entirely. That can have a huge impact in your system, its almost like saying your very existence that you've lived for for years has been a lie, a trick, an illusion.

His eyes darted to the blonde stranger in front of Dipper, who hadn't taken his eyes off the wall across him. But the way he was looking at Dipper earlier spoke volumes, and they looked to be fighting so he could vaguely understand the tension on their shoulders. He hoped that they would be able to resolve this little bump.

Marco risked a glance to the others and started to tap his foot nervously. Star was looking at everyone in suspicion attempting yet failing to hide it and her nervousness. The king and queen, Toms parents, were sitting regally straight their hands hidden under the table both held a steely and calculating gaze.Tom mirrored Marco's expression though he hid them quite skillfully, but the constant twitch of his fingers gave him away.

Marco blushed madly at his intensive scrutiny on the prince and looked down on his lap. Fiddling with his fingers. 

He really hoped this would be over soon.

The queen cleared her throat.

" So straight to the point, to put things bluntly and simply as possible, Bill and Dipper are Potential rulers of all of the realms in the multiverse, all the worlds, basically everything. Even the self proclaimed gods, like those greeks in Mt. Olympus." She spoke in a calm manner. 

" Mother, can you elaborate more what a True Royal is? Where they came from, when they appeared and other important details." Tom piped up, looking curiously at his mother. She observed that all the younglings did too.

" They are chosen by magic, they are judged based on a pairs relationship and magical capacity. When magic has chosen a pair, a king and their queen, they are then assessed and trialed by the three world. Which were chosen by the very first True Royals. The Three World are:

Hell , Ruled By Queen Delphina Lucitor
                            King Thomas Lucitor

Earth, Ruled by Human and

The Wizarding World ruled by Lady Hecate, Goddess of Magic.

Though 2 of the 3 worlds have forgotten this honor, but we have not so we are here to guide any True Royal candidates to see if they are worthy." She explained.

Her husband then added. " The first True Royals were, as legend told, found in the era of kings and queens. They were said to have been a knight and a lowly peasant. They were chosen by magic and proved themselves worthy, they ruled justly and peacefully. Getting rid of anyone that disrupted the peace. " He  voiced.

" But of course like in every royalty that rose in history, no matter what they did, shadows still lingered . These shadows names were lost, but we do know that they still linger now. Awaiting any risen True Royals, ready to terminate them in time. While they control the worlds from the shadows. We have managed to capture some for interrogation but they had a method for suicide. Because everytime we try and pry the information out of them, they always manage to kill themselves in various cruel methods. " Death then quickly added, " I could not find any trace of their souls anywhere. No matter how hard we tried to search for them, we always come back empty handed." Death bemoaned frustrated.

" Since you two have been chosen by magic, you have to journey to complete three trials set in the 3 worlds." Eva breathed out. Indeed it was a priviledge to know that her son and his beloved were chosen. But that did not stop her maternal instincts to cease, even if her boy was already centuries old. It made her stomach curl around itself to the thought of her son facing those horrid beings. But whatever he chose , she'd support it with the best of her abilities since this was not her fate or path to choose, but her sons and Dippers. She could only hope that the choose the right one.

" But mother, how can magic choose? Since it just...magic?" Tom questioned.

" Ahh... now that a more complicated subject, Tom. To put it simply, magic is just a form of power gifted to us. But it is also a being entirely different from us, think of it as a third person. Shall we say a spectator and the judge in everything's existance . Though it does not have a complete will of its own, it is still conscious of its duties. " The queen stated in a practiced smooth voice.

" But why us?" Was the soft question of the human teen.

" That is because ,not only is the strength of your bond tight and strong , but because magic sees you both fit as powerful and right for the title. Its is your destiny, as cliche as that may sound." Eva answered.

" Bond?"

"Hasn't Bill told you,dear? Both of you are mates, soulmates to be exact."

"What?!" Dipper shouted , he stood up and pushed his chair with enough force for it to stumble on the ground. He looked accusingly at Bill.

" Bill, what is the meaning of this? Why didn't you fucking tell me?!" Anger coursed through Dipper veins. Though true that he was a bit flustered and disturbed at the thought of having a soulmate, but that didn't give bill the right to hide this from him. Especially him.

" Pinetree... I don't want to talk about this right now..."  Bill but his lip in fear.

No... he didn't want this to happen now... damn it.

"No Bill! We talk about this now." Dipper growled. He held himself, he took deep breaths to keep himself from lunging across the table.

Bill stood up breathing deeply, his body turning red. He looked up his eyes ferociously gleaming in the light. He harshly punched the table.

" Fine! You want to know why I didn't fucking tell you?! Because that would break the fucking deal! It would break the fucking I fucking made for you! You would have died because of those robed  bastards!" He screamed hysterically, he then laughed bitterly. All eyes were on him now, Bill looked at each one of them before settling into confused brown orbs." Of course you don't remember, because they made almost impossible for you to remember. All we went through, everything we had gone just because I recklessly trusted that pink bitch with her bastard friends. Now they have your memories. " Bill took a few steps backwards, successfully knocking the chair, effectively slamming it to the floor. Bill glared at each and everyone of them.

" And you know what hurts most? Looking at you now, with those soulful eyes. With your soft hair, smooth skin and hearing your voice. And knowing for a fact that you didn't remember. All those walks, kisses, hugs, all the happy moments. Forgotten by everyone, except me. Especially when you broke your promise. "

Bill ran to the door, escaping reality.

Escaping his family

Escaping his embarrassment

Escaping him.

But the darkness and bitterness didn't leave.

Sobs bubbles in his throat, he couldn't believe he did that. But he knew it had to be done.

He was king...so what, he didn't deserve the title if he didn't even manage to protect his queen. 

~~~~~~~~~

In case ur all confused.

Although bill has been thinking of dipper is his beloved, no one has said it verbally to dippy so no he doesn't know.

And i changed 3 kingdoms to 3 worlds.

I hope any confusion has been cleared.

Diva out~♡♡♡
