That evening Adrien and his allies celebrated the rescue of Friar Fu and Wayzz. There was a bonfire, music, dancing, and drinking. Everyone was dancing around, laughing, and making merry.

"Oh, the world will sing of a French King

A thousand years from now

And not because he passed some laws

Or had that lofty brow

While bonny good King Thomas leads

The great crusade he's on

We'll all have to slave away

For that good-for-nothin' pawn!

Incredible as he is inept

Whenever the history books are kept

They'll call him the phony king of France

A pox on the phony king of France!"

That was the song Jagged and the other musicians sang as they played music.

"Come on Nino let's dance!" Alya grabbed Nino and pulled him into a dance.

Other ladies and gentlemen started to partner up and dance. Marinette just sat on the side lines and watched everyone had fun. She would have done that all night if Nathaniel hadn't of come forward.

"May I have this dance?" He asked her.

"Oh no I-"

"Sorry Nathaniel but this lady is spoken for." Adrien said taking her gently by the hand.

"Oh no Adrien I don't want to dance." She protested.

"That's too bad because you're going to."

"Adrien no. I can't. I'd look ridiculous."

"Don't be silly. I'm sure you're a wonderful dancer, just follow my lead."

"Adrien please don't I'll just step all over your feet."

But the young man just ignored his lady's pleas and led her into a playful waltz of joy.

"While he taxes us to pieces

And he robs us of our bread

King Thomas's crown keeps slippin' down

Around that pointed head

But while there is a merry man

In Adrien's wily pack

We'll find a way to make him pay

And steal our money back

A minute before he knows we're there

Ol' Adrien will snatch his underwear

The breezy and uneasy king of France

The snivellin', grovellin'

Measly, weasely

Blabberin', jabberin'

Gibberin', jabberin'

Blunderin', plunderin'

Wheelin', dealin'

Prince Xavier, that phony king of France

Yeah!"

When the song ended everyone applauded Jagged and the musicians while Adrien led Marinette over to the lake where they sat together in a tree, watching the stars and drawing out the constellations.

"What a perfect night." Marinette said.

"Yeah." Adrien agreed in a melancholic tone which she noticed.

"Is something the matter?"

"Well you see I've been talking with the others and they're afraid that Xavier is getting too close. They want to leave."

"Leave? But where would they go?"

"The plan was I would take them to England where we would rebuild my father's castle and live there until your father returns."

"But what about the people here who need you?"

"While everyone else is staying in England I would go to retrieve King Thomas myself. I'm sure I could convince him to come back. We'll be leaving tomorrow."

"Then why do you sound so upset?"

"Because I would be apart from someone very special to me for a very long time."

"Who would that be?"

"You my lady."

"Oh..."

"You know I...I never did get that kiss I won at the archery tournament the other day. Of course if you don't want to give it to me I understand."

"No...No I would like to give you a kiss."

She closed her eyes and leaned forward, Adrien did the same also. It was meant to be an innocent peck on the mouth but as soon as their lips met a romantic and passionate kiss was instantly created. Their hands joined together, interlocking fingers and their bodies embraced one another. When they finally broke apart they gazed at each other lovingly.

"Come with me." He told her after a moment of silence.

"What?"

"Come back to England with me. I can't bear the idea of you returning to that uncle of yours. I promise that I'll make you happier than you've ever been and I will be a loyal and loving husband."

"Hu...Hu...Husband?" She said becoming flustered.

After another moment of silence Adrien took Marinette's hand into his own and slid a silver band on to her finger.

"I'm not a wealthy prince anymore Marinette, I can't give you a castle or gold or jewels or any of that other royal stuff you're used to. I'm just a thief of justice who can only give you all the love in my heart. Marinette will you marry me?"

She was speechless for the longest time and finally a smile graced her face.

"Yes. Yes! Yes I will!"

The two embraced again and shared another passionate kiss again.

"Let's do it tomorrow." She said. "Before we leave."

"Where?"

"Right here would be perfect."

"I'll ask Friar Fu to marry us. I'm sure that he would be more than happy to."

"Wait! I have to send a message to my father telling him where I am and of course that I'm getting married."

"You sure that he will be okay with you marrying a thief?"

"I'm sure that he would be proud to have you for a son in law. I'll head back to the castle tonight while Uncle is asleep."

"I'll go with you."

"No it's too dangerous for you. They won't harm me I promise."

"Alright."

Marinette packed up her things and readied a horse for her trip back.

"I'll be back in the morning and then I'll be yours forever my love. So wait for me."

"I'll wait for eternity if I have to."

She got on her horse and rode off into the night. Adrien sighed dreamily against a tree. He was completely dazed with bliss and love. Oh how he wished that tomorrow morning could be here already. Why couldn't time move at the speed you wanted it to?

"Hey lover boy where have you been?" Nino asked his friend when he saw the lovestruck look on his face.

"Nino she said yes."

"Who?"

"Marinette. She said yes."

"Yes to what?"

"She's going to marry me Nino."

"You asked her to marry you?"

"Yes and she said yes. Isn't it great?"

"I'm happy for you but are you sure she said yes or are you drunk?"

"Nino the only thing I'm drunk on is love. Tomorrow morning Friar Fu will marry us and I'll spend the rest of my life making her the happiest bride in the world."

"But what about our plan to go to England?"

"That plan is still in motion she's just coming with us. I wish I could give her a real royal wedding but I don't have any of the stuff needed for that."

"Well I'm sure that doesn't matter to her. I bet that all she cares about is being with you."

"I still can't believe she said yes. I was so sure that she would say no. After all who would have thought that a princess would marry a thief?"

"All I can say is that God favored you tonight Adrien. So where is the bride to be?"

"She left to send a message to her father at the castle."

"I wonder what the king will say when he finds out that he has an out law for an in law."

The two men laughed at his joke.

"Well you're getting married tomorrow so let's go celebrate."

For the rest of the night Adrien was overwhelmed with happiness. Tomorrow morning he would promise to love and honor Marinette forever, she would become his wife, he would become her husband, then they would leave this place and go to England where they along with their friends and people could live peacefully. Then he would bring King Thomas back, Prince Xavier would be stopped, and he could spend the rest of his days living happily with his wife. Yep life was good.
