👑👑👑

A/N: This chapter might be slightly confusing due to the fact that (Y/N) wandered off with Nell in the last chapter & yeah...but don't worry...I am prepared.

👑👑👑

Nell walked next to (Y/N) as they made their way to the doors of Jade's office. Jade opened the door for them as his eyes completely locked onto (Y/N). (Y/N) gives a simple bow as she looks up at Jade.

"Greetings Sir Jade." (Y/N) greets him.

"(Y/N), it's been a while. Please come in." Jade stepped to the side, allowing the two in, "Who's your friend?"

"This is Duke Nell Phantom." (Y/N) gestured to Nell, "He's someone very dear to me." Nell felt his ears shoot up, his tail wagging at the praise.

"Ah. One of those Jewels you wrote to me about." Jade walks to his desk and sits down, "Now, I know you aren't here to visit me...then why are you here?"

(Y/N) took a deep breath, "Jade...we have been friends for years and I understand if you disagree with what I'm about to say...but I wish for you to become one of those Jewels...No just due to your smarts but you also mean a lot to me." (Y/N) explained, "You don't have to join as a Jewel, but it is completely your decision."

"Give me a day or two to think about it." Jade states.

"Of course." (Y/N) bows respectfully again, "Don't worry...I won't force you into anything you do not wish to do."

"Now, I wish to give you those drawing lessons in which you were never able to attend. Sit down, please...and your guard too." Jade waves.

👑👑👑

The next day rolled around in a flash beat. Arian was grateful to see (Y/N) safe and sound when she returned to the room they all had rented out for their stay here. Raymond had counted the money they received from the day. Nell was staring at the pictures they drew. But it was a new day, Arian was dancing again, this time with (Y/N) in his arms. They did have to prepare for once they were properly married.

[Which will happen during episode 11, don't worry.]

The two danced together for what seemed like forever, as if they were the only two on the streets. People who watched in the crowds threw flowers at them. Once the two finished their dance, the crowd cheered and clapped for them as Raymond stepped in the center.

"The Sparkling Gentleman and his Lady, that's all, folks!" Raymond smiled widely, "Please give a round of applause to Ari and (Fake/N), who performed the dance 'Britine Mielna!'..." Raymond takes off his hat, "And...if you enjoyed their performance, feel free to put your tips in here." His smile turns cheeky, "Rake it in when you can! That's the House Amber Motto."

'Yes, we all know you're from Galdeon, where cash is king...' Arian and Nell both thought at the same time.

"Thank you, Thank you!" Raymond smiled charmingly as out of the corner of his eye, he noticed something.

As a young girl danced with (Y/N) with Arian cheering them on, gushing over (Y/N) and a child dancing together, thinking about having kids of their own. The girl's mother was apologizing to a nervous Nell. Yet Raymond didn't pay attention to that, yet the man that carried groceries in his arms. The dark look on the man's face and that tranket on his jacket said it all for Raymond, he was the information man, he had to know.

'That crest...!' Raymond's eyes slightly widened, placing the coins in a bag and placing his hat back on his head, 'Our target is moving faster than I expected...'

👑👑👑

Once Arian and (Y/N) were settled down in a box, relaxing after their dance, Nell walked up to them and handed them some refreshments. Arian nods in thanks as (Y/N) gives a slight nod.

"Ugh, I'm so tired from all this dancing..." Arian wraps his arm around (Y/N)'s waist, "But dancing with you made it so much better, my darling!!" He couldn't help but gush over his fiancee's dancing, and the outfit that she now wore as they were dancing, it was hypnotizing.

"You both did well, Prin–" Nell paused.

Arian held in his laughter as (Y/N) comforted Nell by rubbing his cheek, "Don't worry about it, Nell...you'll one day get used to calling me by my name."

"(Y...(Y/N)..." Nell muttered out.

Raymond then suddenly barged between them, "Big News, my little thief!" Raymond smirked, "A servant of House Meldea saw your performance."

"Hold up, really?!" Arian seemed excited, "Does that mean...!"

"Yes Indeed, Your Highness." Raymond tips his hat off to him, "We'll meet them tonight."

ENJOY!

👑👑👑

At the Meldea Mansion, there was a knock on the head of the Meldea family's door. The door was opened by the man holding groceries that Raymond saw on the streets. He handed over the food to the head of the Meldea family. On his face was a devilish smile.

"I went to check out the new street dancers as you requested, Master." The man states.

"Yes, Peter, I've been waiting for you." The head takes one of the cookies in his hand.

As Peter slowly got excited, the head of the family smirked evilly as if there was a plan going into play. The head threw a bag filled with coins to Peter, who caught it quickly.

"If the female is that beautiful, it's only natural that I get a chance to bed her." The head chuckles wickedly.

👑👑👑

The four were walking on the streets of the town as Arian was cuddling his fiancee, whose feet were tired.

"I think these shoes are giving me blisters...I told you they were too tight." (Y/N) sighs.

"My poor darling!" Arian kisses her head, "Once we get back to the Inn, I'll find you better shoes!"

"You did good today, my little thief!" Raymond walked on the other side of (Y/N), "I'll prepare a bath and some delicious food when we return to the inn, if you'll permit me."

"Do what you wish, Raymond..." (Y/N) waved it off.

Nell wasn't far behind, as a woman was talking to him about something suspicious she saw. As the conversation finished, Nell walked up to join the three as they all stopped, hearing footsteps.

"Hey, Wench!" It was the head and some other men, "I hear you've been dancing on the streets...Oh! If you come willingly into my bed, I'll treat you better than those men hanging by your side."

Arian froze in place, anger filling his body, 'He took the bait...' He clenched his fist, he hated that this man would even try to ask to sleep with his love.

"...I'm sorry, but you're not my type. Also I am engaged and I barely know you..." (Y/N) states, denying that it was Jade's father, a man who she once admired.

"You're also very ugly." Arian added on as (Y/N) shot him a look.

"Watch what you say!" Peter yells, "He's the head of House Meldea, one of the five holy houses of Marloe!"

"I'm sorry. But even if he is, we don't know you and still you are asking me to go to bed with you like some animal." (Y/N) states, "It's disrespectful and inappropriate."

"You're feisty! I look forward to breaking you in!" The head exclaimed, "Men! Bring me that Wench!" He pointed to an annoyance (Y/N).

"...This is so annoying." (Y/N) huffed.

"What?" The head 'tched'.

"Using your status to take advantage of the workers of your house...and using women like some sort of toys." (Y/N) cracked her knuckles, eyes narrowed, "It's disgusting..." She pounded her fist into her palm, walking towards the head.

"B...Brat, you must be out of your mind!" The head raised his arm to slap her.

(Y/N) had been hit before and imagined this man was the people she hated the most, she snatched his wrist and threw him back. The three men watched (Y/N) in awe. (Y/N) clenched her fist and turned back to the head, stomping over to him.

"To think that hitting someone, anyone...royalty or not...is acceptable just because you're a man, or the head of a family...then you're not only disrespectful but also stupid." (Y/N) felt her anger rise, "On top of that...My fiance and I were performing on the streets, dancing the Holy 'Britine Miela' for Mistral, God of water." She felt her teeth grit together, "...I'm sorry, I'm guessing a man like you wouldn't have understood that, am I wrong?"

Just then, Arian scooped (Y/N) into his arms and held her tight as the others ran just as quickly.

"My love, are you alright? Did he hit you anywhere? That was so sexy!!!" Arian nuzzled his cheek against (Y/N)'s cheek.

'It...feels warm...' (Y/N) felt her mind clear for the first time in years.

"Your Highness, are you hurt?" Nell asked, in a whiny tone.

"My little thief is stronger than you think." Raymond crossed his arms.

'They're all...so concerned.' (Y/N) looked at her hands, 'They really do care for me...'

"Wait..." They all turned to the head, "Royalty?"

The female there clenched her fist, "Are you going to just stand there or are you going to apologize for trying to take advantage of the Princess?" She asked, annoyed, "You filthy pig! Do you have any idea who you've offended?"

"No, I..." The head paused, "P...Pig?"

"Duke Blevin, Sir Amber, Prince Arian! He should be beheaded, for using violence against the Princess, am I right?" The female grumbled.

'Wait a minute...' The head's eyes widened, 'If he's Duke Phantom, the so called hound of Princess (Y/N)...then this brat...I mean...lady, is Princess (Y/N)?! The beloved daughter-in-law of the infamous Emperor Jaider?!' He trembled in fear.

"Arian..." Arian looked down to see (Y/N)'s small smile, "It's okay." Arian's whole face turned red, "This can be settled once and for all at the Banquet."

"...Let's get married today." Arian muttered under his breath as (Y/N)'s cheeks slightly flushed and she looked away, her smile gone, "Nooo! Bring that adorable smile backkkk!" He whined.

"You heard her!" Raymond smirked, "We'll see you at the banquet in two days, Lord Meldea."

The five of them then left, "It's too dangerous here. Let's move to safer ground." Nell states.

"P...Princess, have mercy...!" The head begged.

👑👑👑

Once they arrived back at the royal inn, Arian was carrying (Y/N) back to their room. Raymond was going to follow, yet Nell stopped him.

"Sir Amber." Raymond looked up at Nell, "...Was this truly the only way?" He was pissed, "I know it was Ari's idea, but it angers me, nonetheless...we both know meeting Sir Jade was easier when (Y/N) just did it herself...this put her in danger." Nell exclaims, "I knew you were looking to cause a scene, but I didn't think it would get out of hand like that..." Nell clenches his fist, "At least (Y/N) is alright...and he fell right into the trap...getting them closer to their goal."

👑👑👑

Up in the room, (Y/N) was laying down with Arian cuddling her close. Arian left small kisses on (Y/N)'s neck as (Y/N) looked straight forward in thought.

'I wonder how...Jade is going to react to this...' (Y/N) thinks as she sighs.

👑👑👑

The next day, at Marole Palace Royal Chamber audience room, many men sat in attendance as Arian sat on the throne with (Y/N) on his lap, a slap mark across her cheek, or that's what it looked like. Nell, in his wolf form, and Raymond stood by. To the side was a nervous Sumiz Neptune, the King of Marloe. All the men in attendance knew who was at fault here as they stared at the head.

'The disgrace of Marloe...especially in front of that sly golden fox of Galdeon!' The head looked away nervously.

"Ahem." Arian wrapped his arms around (Y/N), "My dearest King Neptune...and the Lords of Marloe." He took a breath, "As our alliance was sealed under the blessing of our founding God...I promise that despite what happened, there will be no diplomatic repercussions...however..." Arian placed his hand, softly, on (Y/N)'s bruised cheek, "I cannot forgive the horrendous actions of Lord Meldea."

'That wound...! I didn't do that...is he exaggerating things to have me killed? Damn it!' The head couldn't help but feel the glares his son was sending him.

👑👑👑

Well...that isn't exactly what happened. 

ALLOW CONTEXT GIRL TO EXPLAIN!

(Y/N) woke up last night and wanted a snack. So she headed to the kitchen and tried to retrieve something on a high shelf. Even with the step stool and her tippy-toes, she slipped and fell onto the floor, the items came crashing down on her. Especially her cheek, sorting in a bruise.

That's what truly happened. Arian is using this injury as bait, although that night when she was injured, Arian gave her millions of kisses.

👑👑👑

"You may believe that my anger stems from my darling's physical wounds...but she is my fiance, future empress and my Queen." Arian continued, "I am expressing my rage at Meldea for trying to force himself on royalty." He clenched his fist, "In return, I request you strip Lord Meldea of his titles and power..."

"And appoint Mavis Meldea, the Firstborn daughter, as the new head of House Meldea." (Y/N) quickly states.

"And finally...send his second son, Jade Melda...to the Empire of Arbezela." Both Jade and (Y/N) froze at what Arian concluded with.

👑👑👑

Want more?

Well...here's a fun fact!

Everyone is amazed when they see the Phantom Family in their true form, their werewolf form is actually their original form, and so fluffy!

Their coats are lustrous and thick, making everyone eager to stroke it.

Another fun fact, the women of the Phantom family have a bigger Physique than the men...

Average height of Phantom woman is 6'5'' to 6'10''

The average height of Phantom Men is 6'4'' to 6'6''.

So I'd still be shorter than both. 😀

[Nell is 6'4'']

Finally, Nell's palms are as black as the paws of a wolf due to the transformation.
