Technoblade nervously adjusted his clothes, worrying if he was going to some how spectacularly mess up the ball. Is it even called a ball? Maybe, he was far too frazzled to even remember what he was going to.

"Calm down, Da- Phil said that that he's met the royal family of Arendelle many times." If his twin, Wilbur, was trying to comfort him, it meant that it was pretty dang evident that he was panicking. Not that Will hasn't comforted him many other times, it's just hard knowing Philza wasn't actually their father.

"Techno? Are you listening? Phil said they are nice, so that means they can't be completely horrible people."

    "Yeah? And the last time he met the royal family they still had parents." Techno harshly shoves Wilbur's hand off of his shoulder.

"Jezz, that was cruel... even for you Techno."

"Will, I'm just so stressed! What if we get split up and... and...I just can't." And with that Technoblade, once of the North Mountain and now of the revere Bloodlands, dissolved into tears.

Wilbur panic hugs him, probably thinking he might explode out in a frosty wind like he has done on a few occasions. The feeling of his twins body pressed against him makes him cry even harder, he lets himself sink into his brothers arms and relieve all the stress he had harbored for the past week.

He misses his family. Not this fake "family" he's only know to have existed for the last week, his real one. The one he spent ten years with. He missed Phil, he missed Tommy, he missed Kirsten, he even missed Tubbo and Ranboo, Tommy stupid little friends. He missed the friends he had managed to create as well. Weather they had been other mountain dwellers or ones he and Will had created out of the things around them.

Gods, why was life so hard?

Some how, some way they had managed to travel all the way to Arendelle without incident, and they would be on time too, if Techno could get out the courage to take just one like step off the boat and on to the docks. He wished their biological parents had the guts to come with them, but no. They had to "defend the castle", like as if. No known kingdom would dare attack the Bloodlands' anything.

You want to know what Techno thinks about all this? He thinks his "parents" sent him and Wilbur along to mess up the meeting and give the Bloodlands an excuse to invade Arendelle. And you know what? Both twins were determined to make sure it didn't happen. So yeah, Techno got off that boat (after much convincing), help his head high (not really, he was so tall he had to slouch to make sure he wouldn't run into some of the decorations), and march on up into the castle (it was more of a meandering walk, the twins kept getting distracted by all the unfamiliarits).

    Once at the rather small gates (compared to the castle of the Bloodlands), the Bloodlands' party stopped once more. Not because they lost the princes again, but by request of the royal guards of Arendelle. The royal family was probably just nervous of letting five fully armed guards of the Bloodlands' elite into the palace walls.

    After having to wait outside for what seemed like for every, the party of Bloodlanders arrived to the event as fashionably late as every.

    The room completely stopped the second they were announced. Techno liked the way the guest's eyes filled with fear, a power trip he was sure would probably never be topped.

"They made it! Welcome, welcome!"

    An unfamiliar voice cried out, and he could see the tension roll off of all other occupants of the room. Now that, was real power. The next thing he knows, he's hand is being shaken on the verge of violently.

"Hi! I'm Anna!! It's so good to finally meet you!" He looks down and sees someone who is far too enthusiastic for his taste. Her smile lessens slightly, and she nervous leans over to whisper to one of the Bloodlands guards. "Ummmm, which is which?"

Ah yes, the pitiful excuses for human beings, that dare call themselves parents, had force the twins to cut their hair and dye it the same shade. Both were absolutely livid at the thought. Yet here they were. Wilbur without his signature white streak, and Techno with out his beautiful long pink hair. Both were results of... an incident. Let's just say, Wilbur's face was freezing and Techno's hair had been a vibrant red for a few year until the sun softened the color out.

Eret, head of the Bloodlands' royal guards, similes kindly at the self proclaimed "Anna". Wait, isn't one of the royal family members' names Anna? Techno was already getting a headache. The guard politely says, "You highness, the one who's hand you're still shaking is Technoblade and the other is Wilbur, they are the princes of the Bloodlands."

"Oh! It's so good to finally meet you! I've been so excited, ever since I found out the Bloodlands' heirs were coming of age! Come on let's go-"

The second she let go of his hand, Techno's brain checked out of the conversation. He could feel Wilbur grab his hand, trying to save him from himself. His brain wasn't trying to implode on its self, which was good. No, because it is now occupied by all of the frozen decorations. He feels like he's forgetting something very important...

Oh yeah! The proper way to bow in front of royalty higher than yourself is to... Oh no. Techno forgot. Well, at least Wilbur probably remembers how to do it.
