Hearts
I love my queen. I swore my allegiance to her. She was there when I needed someone the most. She cares, just as I do for her. My heart beats for her for she is love, love like no other. She may be older, and she may been like my mother growing up, but I don't care, my heart still loves her all the same. I couldn't imagine myself with anyone else but her. She is the mistress of all that is frozen, but I love her warm embrace. She may be going mad but I'll find a way to keep her sane, no matter the cost, no matter how long it takes.
I'm eternally indebted to her, for she saved me when I was broken. Forever, may she reign. Eternity, will she live. For she my Queen. The Ice Queen...
(Hearts)
I was once a hero. "Finn, the Champion of Ooo. "Slayer of Thousands, Savior of Millions." "Protector of Peace.", "Bubblegum's #1 Assistant". Yeah, I use to be a hero. Now, I'm "Unstable." "Finn, the Rouge." "Fallen Hero." "PB's Greatest Failure." That's everyone saw me after The Conversion. Well... not everyone.
I take a break from my thoughts to look over at Simone. She sat her section of the round table However, instead of listening to Bonnibel drone on about progress of the Parallel Citizens, she was making miniature snowmen on the table.
What I give to be you right now, my liege.
She reminded of a child at times. Sweet, innocent, and oblivious to the reality that is the world around us.
Once again you amaze me with how you can make any depressing thought disappear with your presence.
I return my attention to the princess. I must keep focus on the matters being discussed. "Bonnie" has a history of trying the Ice Kingdom.
"Finn? The Ice Kingdom has the floor. Would you like to speak on behalf of your territory?"
Don't worry, you'll see in a few minutes.
"Only if my Queen will allow it." I bow, as I await her judgement.
My voice brought her back to meeting. She pauses for a moment, as if she was pay attention the entire time.
"Sure. I believe you are more than capable to handle this. Just make sure to stay professional."
I wince a little on the inside.
I won't fail this time My Love.
"Yes, your Highness."
I make my way toward the podium. I walk pass Marcy, who gives me a thumbs up.
"Finn." I have the displeasure of conversing with Princess.
"Bonnibel."
"You're handsome as always." She places her hands on my shoulders. I gently move her hand away from them, but it takes alot for me not to break her wrist. Lucky, Simone is enough.
"Well, I manage."
"I don't how when you in live in that peasant village you called a kingdom."
Here we go again.
"It's not all that bad. We do have our moments but what nation doesn't?"
"While that's a fair point, your "moment" happen more often than most nation do. I just don't see why you just come live with me in my palace."
"Well, I have my reasons."
"Such as?"
"I have standard that wouldn't even sink that low."
An uproar of comments comes from the crowd of officers and officials. Be she ignores it, and pushed forwards. She is difficult to work with.
"I'm glad to see that your sense of humor hasn't left you. Your Queen own palaces doesn't even meet the standards that she set herself."
Even more uproar. It ticks me off getting into it with her, but I can't stand her smug attitude. I look down at her and response;
"Well, at least our citizens can adapt to change."
The uproar grows louder. However, this either times Simone's voice has not once spoke. I can feel her gaze on me.
"It's easy to adapt when you're not even REAL!"
They grow even louder.
"And those Artificially Flavored Fools you call people are?"
They close to break the sound barrier.
"Well, I don't see you helping me make some."
They so silent, it's louder than their last comotion.
The nerve of this woman. She has major issues. To say something like that in front of the queen.
I got close to her, and begin to talk harshly.
"[whispers]I'm not having this conversation with you here."
"Then where Finn?! When can we actually talk and not have a screaming match."
"Stop it! Stop it right now! How dare you try this infront of her Highness?"
She spit in her direction.
"Fuck your Queen. She can go to Hell and Freeze over for all I care."
"Go sit down, Princess. Go before do something I will not regret."
"After swearing your allegiance to that hag, what is left to regret?"
My rage causes the room temperature to drop rapidly. I want nothing more than to turn her into dry ice, and break her in two. I feel my Queen's gaze intensifies. I look over at her, preparing for that angry expression on her face. But I see something worst, disappointment. I began to realise that I'm embarrassing, not just our nation, her as well. I feel like crying right now. I return my glare to Princess.
"Look what you made me do."
She gives me a very pleased smirk. "Well, it your fault. You should have joined me when you were first asked. Instead of being a knight in that frozen wasteland you call a Kingdom. You could have became a king, with me as your wife."
"Get it through your thick skull, Bonnie. Even if Hell froze over, and I lose everything I know and love. I would rather have LSP as a Wife, than know you."
The council suddenly became lively again.
"Now, please leave so I may give my concern the intelligent members of the Board."
Her pink skin becomes a deeper shade at that little comment. Her fist clenching was a satisfying sight to see. I'm glad to see that she has nothing more to say. She walks past me, turns her head slightly to give a glare that will cause most men to coward. I am not most men.
I take a couple seconds to calm down, turn towards the audience of the room.
"Women, life's greatest poison, am I right guys of the room?"
All the men begin to laugh loudly at my little joke, only to have each of their female counterpart slap them upside the head.
"Point proven." Marshall is the only one who was unphased by his partner attack and wanted to continue the joke.
"Alright, but seriously, let's talk business. My name is Finn, and by the power of the Ice Queen of the Ice Kingdom, I speak on behalf of my nation. Does the council understand and agree to these terms. As usual, it shall be decide by a majority vote, excluding the Ruler and Representative of said nation."
"Slime Nation Agrees"
"Nightosphere Agrees, by only because you made us laugh today Finny-boy." Marcy giggles at the event beforehand.
"Glad to be able to entertain y'all today."
"Now you're just brown-nosing." Marshall grin never left him.
"Heh. If it wasn't for the fact that we're at a very important meeting today, I take both of you on right now."
"Ha. Anytime."
"Whatever, Lumpy Space has given up their vote for the refused to come after hearing that weren't have free food. What a surprise."
Well, at least they're not as bad as Princess.
"Wizard Kingdom, where do you stand?"
"We agree to the terms."
"Okay the only kingdom left is, the Candy Kingdom."
All eyes shift from me to two candy twins.
"Bon-Bon, we have to answer."
She looks up at me with a childish pout. I return with a nonchalant smile and wave.
"You already know my answer."
"I only counts if you directly express your agreement or disagreement to the terms, after it as been agreed upon by both rulers and representatives."
She suddenly stands up from her seat and place her palms on the table.
"Fine! I say that the Candy Kingdom disagrees with these terms!"
Gumball remain silent.
"*sigh* Is this agreed upon by you as well, Ben?"
He looks nervously at his nations ruler. She returns a menacing glare toward him. I can see him physical jump when they made eye contact. He looks down, and away, from his counterpart.
"I-I will not say against the vote, Finn. My apologies."
"It's alright man. I can tell you didn't have a choice. Well, that's three against one. The "aye"s have it. Well, now that's out of the way let's get started."
