Chapter 3: Will you Marry Me, Again?
As Robin had the blindfold covering her amber orbs, Lucina's hand was the only thing that guided her around the entire castle. In her mind, Robin kept on having the thought of her present race around, just what could it be? Why would it need to be a surprise? And was Chrom involved with this entire thing? Once Lucina's hand stopped moving, the pair were in a small room, in front of a mirror the size of Ricken that sat on a wooden vanity. "Mother I'm going to change your clothes. So I need you to follow my directions for you to get in." Robin reached for her blindfold, "No peaking mother, it's part of the surprise." "Okay, but I hope this will be worth it in the end." Lucina loosened Robin's clothes and they slid off of her curvaceous and slender body. Lucina then put the opening of the dress right next to Robin's feet and let her step in, "Alright mother, this might be a little tricky to get on, but I'll help you." Lucina began to slide the dress up her mother's body and as soon as it was on, it fit her like a glove. "Now, I'm going to do your hair. I'll take the blindfold off, but your eyes have to stay closed." Robin giggled at Lucina's logic,"Uh...Okay then." She removed the blindfold and attempted to let one of her eyes peek, but Lucina commanded, "Close your eyes mother!" "Sorry!"
Lucina let the comb untangle Robin's white locks and Robin still kept her eyes shut. "You're not going to tell me why no matter what I say are you?" Lucina giggled, "Of course not. Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't figure it out until right now." After straightening her white hair, Lucina gathered half of her mother's hair and put it up in a wavy ponytail decorated with ivory beads and roses. "There, it's all done mother. Now I'm going to put a black cloak on you so you don't see the dress." Before Robin could open her eyes, Lucina draped a long velvet ebony cloak on her mother's shoulders concealing almost every piece of fabric on her mother's dress. "Go to the balcony, mother, right there you will see the others waiting for you." Robin shook her head, "The others? Lucina, please tell me what you have planned." "No mother, I won't tell you anything, and don't take off the cloak." Lucina slowly made adjustments to her mother's cloth. "Now, it's time, you're ready to go." "Thank you, Lucina."
After Robin left the room, Lucina looked around and scrambled the room, "Oh no! I forgot to get changed myself. I better get dressed soon." In the long and empty hallways of the castle, Robin's dress floated underneath the black velvet as she searched for the balcony. "I wonder what she has planned for me? I haven't even seen the dress she put on, I hope it looks good, especially with Lucina's taste in clothes." Robin then approached a door that was four times her height, "I'm so nervous about this." She opened the giant door. "Chrom? Are you here?"
Once Robin was on the balcony, she caught a glimpse of Chrom, Morgan, Lucina and little Lucina all standing in front of Libra while wearing the finest clothing that looked as if it was Chrom's coronation all over again. Robin approached her husband, "Chrom, what is going on here and why have you changed your clothes? You haven't worn any clothes like this since your coronation." Chrom had a simple grin on his face, "Robin, my love, just take off your cloak and I will explain everything." Robin began to fumble the cloak, "Okay if you say so." The black velvet fluttered off of her shoulders and showed everyone her ivory gown hugging her curves perfectly. A gentle red aura began to crawl across Robin's face,"How do I look?" Chrom looked at her and saw an angel taking his wife's place, "Beautiful, just as I imagined." "Now what in Naga's name are you doing here?" Chrom put out his hand, "First please give me your hand."
Robin placed her gloved left hand into her husband's much larger right one and he placed his thumb on her ring finger, "Robin, do you remember the first time I asked you to marry me? I forgot to give you an engagement ring but you said nothing. Instead, you just smiled at me and showed that same smile to me several times." Robin then showed him the smile he mentioned, "Of course I do Chrom, it's one of those memories I could never forget." Chrom lifted his head and looked into her hazel eyes, "And there it is again, whenever you smile I feel that I am falling more and more in love with you. But still, no matter how many deeply I'm in love with you I can't forget that even at our wedding, I never gave you a ring and yet you didn't complain. I promised myself that I would get you a ring and then you disappeared after we vanished Grima." Robin blinked quickly and her smile faded, "Chrom, it's fine really, I don't need a ring."
Chrom shook his head, "No, Robin it's not fine." Chrom lowered himself down on one knee still holding Robin's hand, "Because of that I want to ask you something that would be perfect for your birthday. Will you marry me again?" Then he presented her a tiny black box and opened it to reveal the ring of the Ylissiean royal crest, but now it looked brand new with its gems in place and the gold band polished to perfection. "This time, I have something for you to show the entire world that you are my darling wife." Beads of dew began to leak from Robin's ducts and her blush coated her entire face as she put her right hand to her mouth, "You want to... Chrom, I-I...I have no words." All she could do was ram into his arms answering, "YES! YES, I WILL!" Chrom began to softly embrace his wife as tears stained his shoulder, "Shh, it's okay, don't cry my love." Robin lifted her head, "It's a good thing to cry about, you dork." Chrom giggled, "I guess you're right." Libra glanced at the couple and asked the pair, "May we start the ceremony?" Chrom and Robin broke their embrace. "Yes, we may, Libra."
