Princess Alliana@LightningBlitz The guards then direct them to the great hall.
Emperor Lightning Blitz*heads to the great hall with the princess*
@LightningBlitz The guests head in with him. Alliana had already gone ahead with her parents.
*enters the great hall with everyone else*
@LightningBlitz She sits with her parents to begin eating.
@LightningBlitz After the feast, the guests would then begin gifting Alliana the most intricate and well thought out gifts they could make. Which Alliana would then begin either destroying or setting ablaze.
*looks and sees her do that to those gifts*
*already has a gift that he has made back at home, well picked out and hand crafted*
@LightningBlitz "Thank you for the gift, Blitz. We destroy these things to teach ourselves not to grow too attached to material possessions."
I see now. It probably works out very well.
@LightningBlitz "Indeed it does."
@Alliana *keeps watching her do that to the gifts*
@LightningBlitz She'd get done. "Time for dessert!"
@LightningBlitz She'd take the first bite of the cake.
@Alliana What I said moments ago meant Amazing, Princess.
@LightningBlitz "Ah, okay. Yes, our chefs are top tier."
@Alliana I have to agree with you with that, princess. The food here is delicious. The food palette is wide here.
@LightningBlitz "This is only the first half of my adulthood ceremony."
@Alliana I know, princess. I'm liking everything so far.
@LightningBlitz "The second half is our marriage, is it not? I will never see any of my friends or family here again."
@Alliana *blushes a bit after hearing that*
Mhm.
@LightningBlitz She nods. "I understand."
@Alliana *nods to you* I do as well, princess.
@LightningBlitz "I hope so."
@LightningBlitz "It's time. I will see you in two days."
@Alliana Certainly, Princess. I'll see you as well.
@LightningBlitz She'd get up and exit the great hall.
@Alliana *smiles but then realizes with what she said about not seeing family and friends anymore*
Wait, princess! *goes to her*
@LightningBlitz "Yes, Blitz?"
What do you mean that you won't be able to see your friends and family again?
@LightningBlitz "My place will be with you. I must leave them behind."
Hmmmmmm *thinks of an idea*
Keeping you away from seeing your family and friends forever doesn't feel right.
So, what if I say that your family and friends are welcome to come and visit the palace.
@LightningBlitz "I will not object. Whether they come or not is entirely up to them. I would appreciate it if you do not try to force us to ignore our beliefs."
@Alliana I completely understand. I apologize, princess.
@LightningBlitz "Thank you."
@Alliana You're welcome, princess.
@LightningBlitz "This is for the good of my people. My own feelings are irrelevant."
@Alliana I completely understand you, princess.
@LightningBlitz She gives a small nod.
@Alliana *nods and smiles*
*looks to your adult form*
This is the first time admitting from me but, you look beautiful.
@LightningBlitz "You think so?"
@Alliana *nods and blushes*
Mhm.
@LightningBlitz She smiles, giving a nod.
@Alliana *slowly comes in close*
I also wanted to say this. I love you, Princess Alliana.
@LightningBlitz "Yes... I know, Blitz. That emotion is one I do not share... Not fully."
@Alliana *nods* I understand that too, princess.
@LightningBlitz "I'm sorry. I value my people more than myself."
@Alliana It's ok, princess.
@LightningBlitz She nods and walks away.
@Alliana Is it ok for me to do one more thing before I go?
@LightningBlitz "What is it?"
*leans in the kiss you for the first time*
@LightningBlitz She'd set a finger on his snout. "Nuh uh. Not so fast."
@Alliana *gets stopped by your finger*
@LightningBlitz "It's gone past midnight. I should have been gone hours ago."
