Kid and Melaena left the garden and came back into the house to join the party, hand in hand, and were met with applause. Soul put on a slow song, inviting all couples to the dance floor. Soul and Maka danced together, as well as Kid and Melaena. During the dance, Kid would whisper sweet nothings into Melaena's ear, making her blush and her heart flutter. She was happy to know that Kid felt the same way about her as she did about him, and decided that maybe this arranged marriage is not so bad. But deep down, she was still troubled. She worried deeply for her people, and the horrors they are being subjected to with her aunt on the throne. She had to get back to Charon somehow. She couldn't stay in Death City forever. Her thought were interrupted by Kid's lips on hers.
"Are you alright?" he asked. Melaena smiled.
"I am now." she replied, making Kid smile back. After the song and dance ended, Kid had another gift for Melaena.
"I need everyone's attention please." he began. When all eyes were on him, he took Melaena's hand and brought to the center of the dance floor. "As everyone knows, I will be married after my 18th birthday, and Princess Melaena is the one I will marry. Even though this marriage has been arranged since childhood, I want to make our betrothal official." Kid turned to Melaena and got down on one knee. "Melaena, I promise to love and protect you always. I love you more than life itself, and I promise you that not even death will separate us." Kid reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box and opened it, revealing a beautiful gold diamond ring, engraved with his family's symbol. "Melaena, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" Melaena felt her heart skip a beat. Moments earlier, she and Kid confessed their love to each other, and now here he was proposing to her. Even though they were already arranged to be married, Melaena loved that Kid wanted to make it official, in front of all their friends.
"Yes, Kid I will marry you." she had. Everyone in the party cheered and applauded as Kid slipped the ring on Melaena's finger. Kid got up and spun Melaena around, and kissed her passionately.
"I love you, Princess Melaena Nyx." Kid said looking deep into her eyes.
"I love you, Death the Kid." Melaena replied. Little did they know, they were being watched.
Medusa was watching the scene from a magic mirror that she had installed in her chamber. Even though she and Griselda had failed at killing the princess the first time, maybe they can get rid of her once and for all.
"Ah, young love. Too bad it won't last." she sneered. Maybe she could get her daughter, Chrona to do the job. Chrona is a student at the Academy, so it will be easy for her to get to the princess. And then she will take care of Griselda. With the princess and the new "queen" out of the way, Charon and Death City will be hers...
