They walked in a comfortable silence, holding hands the whole time, fingers interlaced like any other couple on the busy Altissian streets. Luna had a slight blush on her face, when Noctis glanced back at her. "Are you alright?" She nodded at him, turning a little redder, "I'm alright. Just really happy to be able to spend time with you. Alone." The last word she whispered almost to herself but he heard her and smiled. "I'm seriously glad I'm not the only one on that train of thought." She smiled at him before looking at the display cases of the stores, noticing a large crowd in front of one particular display. "What's that, Noctis?"
He looked ahead a grimaced slightly. He remembered hearing on the radios throughout Lucis about the Vivian Westwood dress designed for Luna being on display as a memorial before people started to hear of her safety. The small memorial turned into a symbol of hope, hope for a marriage between a prince and princess. Noctis secretly promised himself that after getting back his kingdom, the crystal and the ring of the Lucii, he would publicly propose to Luna, so that the world would have a foundation to rebuild on.
"It's where your wedding dress is on display. If I am not mistaken that's the Vivian Westwood boutique," he replied. She felt the grip on her hand tighten slightly, noticing the brief change in his demeanour. "Noctis?" He snapped out of his stupor and looked at her smiling, "We will have to take another route. If people see you, you'll get mobbed. And if they see you with me, the press and the empire will have a field day. That's the last thing either of us want." She nodded at this but didn't move. Her mind had a strong idea to provoke her brother.
"We need to get to the jeweler. Let's take a back way," he stated calmly. She nodded and they made their way down a different route to get to the jeweler. The rounded several corners going around the back of the boutique, coming out of the alley next to the jeweler. They were almost in the clear until Noctis bumped into yet another familiar face. "Well if it isn't Mr. Incognito himself! What are you going here? You know if you need any kind of shiny items, I'm your man!" Noctis smirked at the indirectness of the man, "Trust me Dino, not here to get any shiny items. Just fixing one." The keen eyed reporter noticed his antsy tone, looking behind him to see the large croud in front of the boutique a few stores down.
"Well, we're going to the same place, come on before someone spots you two," Dino stated as they made their way into the jewelery store. "Hey Artemis! I'm here! Where ya at?" the reporter shouted. "Coming!" was all they heard. Dino turned his attention back to Noctis in the meantime, "So what are you fixing?" "I needed the ring you made resized. It was too big for her finger." "Funny, looks like we are here for the same reason then." Noctis raises an eyebrow, "Sorry?"
It was at that moment that the jeweler, Artemis came out with the ring Dino made on a small red pillow. He placed it down and looked up, surprised to see Noctis and Luna with Dino. "Your Highnesses! Dino! Why didn't you say that the prince and princess were here too?" He scowled at the reporter, "I hate to mess with the ring you made so that's why I called you. Thank the Six you were here in Altissia." Dino took a look at the ring noticing the smaller band separated from the stones of the ring. He picked up the band and began reassembling the ring, asking Artemis for the necessary tools to fix it back together. "Give me about twenty minutes, Highness. I can have it back to tip top form by then." The couple nodded before looking around at the different pieces in the store.
"Noctis, don't forget to text Ignis," Luna whispered. He nodded, taking out his cell phone and texting Ignis the address to the flat. Humorously enough, the text he got back made him snort.
Next time a little more prompt would be nice. We've been wandering around for the last twenty minutes. Not to mention this address is several blocks from where we are.
Luna was busying her mind with a way to get her plan to work. She leaned over the sapphire display, looking at a lovely necklace that was heart shaped. Noctis observed her but said nothing. He just leaned next to her and watched her expression while she stared at the necklace. "We should make a public announcement," Luna quietly stated. He looked into her eyes, understanding her implication. She wanted to make a public statement on their relationship. "Is it wrong to want to stir up trouble?" she asked. He smirked, "Hell no." "So what shall we do?"
He took his phone out again, this time calling his advisor. Never waiting till the second ring, Ignis answered.
"Highness?"
Never misses a beat. "Ignis, as soon as you finish the errands we sent you on, meet us at Midnight Creations."
"The high-end jeweller?"
"The very same. Think you can be done in…" he muted the phone. "Dino how long did you say again?"
"Less than twenty. Maybe closer to fifteen minutes."
Noctis nodded before unmuting the phone, "...fifteen minutes?"
"At once then."
"Thanks, Specs."
He hung up and put the phone back into his pocket. "So I have an idea," he began but was cut off. "We need to make an announcement on our relationship. Something that will get people excited again but make the empire mad all the same." Luna was one step ahead of him. "Good, I know what to do then, for once, let me do the talking." He smoothly stated. She nodded at him and went back to looking at the necklace. This time Noctis said something, "Artemis, I'll take the necklace that the lady is looking at." She blushed at the commanding tone in his voice, He really is something else.
With our Chocobros
Ignis hung up, turning his attention to the duo bickering over the amount bags the other had. Ignis felt a headache forming due to their bickering. They had been arguing since they got closer to the address. They finally stood before the building that was the address before making the climb up the many flights of stairs, Gladio mentioning how much bitching Prince Charmless would have done if he was not in the presence of the Oracle. Prompto found himself laughing at the thought. Ignis smirked but said nothing. Four flights later they were at the door to the flat, at the very top floor, alone.
Unlocking the door, they entered, surprised to see both Umbra and Pryna asleep in the balcony. "Hey, I didn't know Umbra and Tiny were related!" Prompto shouted, as he placed the bags down. Gladio and Ignis looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Tiny?" They had spoke in unison, causing Prompto to look at them, with a blush. "I don't know the dog's name but I found the pup in Insomnia about ten years ago with a hurt leg. I was kinda nursing it back to health when he vanished. A couple days later, I received a letter from Lady Lunafreya, offering her thanks." "So you've spoken to the Oracle?" Gladio smoothly asked. "No," Prompto replied, shaking his hands in front of his chest in objection. "I just received a letter and never wrote a reply or got another one. I doubt she remembers writing that letter."
Ignis was putting away all the groceries in the proper places, Gladio had taken to looking around the flat, surprised that there was only one bedroom. "I doubt the lady was the one who procured the room," Ignis mentioned. "Probably asked the First Secretary, she probably wasn't expecting Noctis as part of the equation." Prompto had been petting the two dogs, semi oblivious to the world around him. He took his camera out and took a photo of the two canines. As soon as Ignis finished, he checked his watch and looked at the rest of them, "Time to go." The other men looked at him with questioning eyes. "Noct asked us to meet him at the Midnight Creations jewelery store. We have less than ten minutes to get there. Thankfully, it's a five minute trip from here. Quickly now, we need to show our future queen that we are capable of following his highness' commands when given." They nodded and quickly made their way back to the jewelery store.
Imperial Base
Ravus completed his briefing in record time, the lieutenants aware of his foul temper as they silently listened to the mission details on the battle with the Hydrean. Loqi was going to comment on his foul temper after the meeting but instead chose to remain silent. After all, knowing that the chancellor was responsible for the blonde's irritable mood meant that saying something stupid in Ravus' opinion meant looking for a fist to the face.
Aranea stood staring out the window of their temporary base. Currently, the two soldiers were in the bar, Loqi having a drink and she was staring out the window. She was waiting to see Ravus for the mission that he had for her. They were watching the news coverage of Lady Lunafreya's dress as well on the large crowd that had gathered outside today, Loqi sipping on a Altissian whiskey. They stood quiet, neither saying anything while they waited for the high commander.
They didn't have to wait long as the doors to the room slammed open. Clearly the prince's temper hasn't subsided. Maybe he will not bother with speaking to me, if he knows what's good for him at least. Aranea thought as he eyed the room. "Highwind, a word." Nope, too much to ask for. Damn attitude needs to go, I'm not Izunia, I will knock him the hell out. They left the bar area and made their way back to his office. Shutting the door behind her, she turned her attention to him, waiting for his attitude to strike again. What happened next wasn't what she was expecting.
"Aria," he used the nickname he gave her when they were training back in Tenebrae, when he still was a moderately happy prince and she was the grand daughter of knight of honor in the court. Some people compared it to the relationship that the kings of Lucis had with their shields. "I need to speak to Lunafreya, unfortunately, Izunia has relayed information to me that I cannot wait to confirm or deny. I was going to send you to retrieve her and hide her from the empire after the rite, since you're such a master of disappearing from people's intruding eyes, but I'm afraid the circumstances have changed."
She sighed, thanking the six that he decided to lose the attitude. "I can do my best, do you need me to locate her?" Ravus nodded, "She's left the estate of the First Secretary apparently sometime today or last night. She is still within the city because we have received no word of her slipping out." "That's not helpful Ravus," skipping the formalities and getting to the point.
"I don't know where she is. All I know is that she is still in the city, please stop glaring at me." He turned his attention away from her glare, hoping to continue the conversation. "I know she is in love with him," he began. "I've known about her infatuation with him since they were children. I just…" he took a deep breath, letting out the stress with the dragoon running his hand through his platinum blonde locks. "I look at him and still see the spoiled brat that constantly glared at me when we were kids. That always had an attitude even though I was trying to be nice to him, for Lunafreya's sake. Even though he has grown up, he's still that petulant child I loathed as a kid. The boy that stole away my sister's heart, when he escaped the fires that day. The prince that was protected by a wall, while my sister was left to rot under the watchful eyes of Izunia." Aranea recognized the melancholy in his tone laced with malice. Never knew the pretty boy was the one who irked him so much. He always said there was a boy his sister knew that pissed him off, just thought he was from Tenebrae.
He turned back to Aranea, with a mildly defeated look in his eyes and his shoulders slumped, taking his seat. "She's the only family I have left. I became a soldier of the Empire to protect her from them. Keep an eye on the chancellor who eyes her with a devious glint in his eyes. To keep that old bastard from trying to experiment on her. So the Emporer has mercy on our nation because I, the crown Prince, serve him loyally and without question, to the point of perusing my sister for him. I'm betraying my bloodline as she tells me, but she knows nothing of my loyalty to our bloodline. Otherwise, she could have suffered a worse fate than she already has lived." Aranea had moved across the room and kneeled before him, collecting his hand in hers, listening to him finally tell her why he was so stressed. She always knew he was an over protective brother but she never knew if that nature went deeper than he made it seem. Ravus, made no motion to move away.
"You need to tell her that. She needs to know what she truly means to you," Aranea quietly whispered. "If you never tell her, she will resent you for all her days, guiding the pretty boy to his destiny." Ravus raised an eyebrow at the name, "Pretty boy? I take it you've met Noctis then?" She nodded, "I had a good spar with him and his little puppies. They're good as a unit, give them more time to grow and I can see them turning into ferocious wolves." "That's a bold statement coming from you, Lady Aria," he smirked.
"I have told you about calling me Lady, your highness," Aria snapped back quickly, a blush forming on her face. He smirked but didn't comment on it. "Aria, should the operation for the Hydrean fail, they will want my head for it," she felt a pang in her heart as he spoke. "If they do betray me, I need you to help with the evacuation of Tenebrae like you and I promised all those years ago, when you and I were first kids. Lunafreya would worry about the people and try to save them, so please help as many as you can. The nights grow longer, the daemons stronger, and there are many who cannot defend themselves. Promise me, should things go south Sunday, you will honor our childhood promise." She nodded silently, her eyes firm with determination. "I swear." They stood in silence for a moment before the sound of footfalls coming towards his office caused them to separate, Aranea climbing over his desk and standing at ease as if she was there the whole time. Ravus straightened his posture and steeled his face into his usual scowl.
"Lord Commander! You're sister is on the television! With the Lucian prince!" They both stared at each other wide eyed, shouting in unison, "What!?"
Back with the Royal Couple
Dino had finished the alterations to the ring, Artemis making sure everything was perfect before nodding and passing it to Noctis. He smiled at the final product, taking it and placing it on Luna's finger. She smiled at how perfectly it fit. "It looks like a perfect fit, your highness," Artemis said. Luna nodded in agreement, "I believe Artemis is correct, it's perfect." She smiled, turning her attention to the two jewellers, "I thank both of you for the beautiful ring. Dino, the designs and details are flawless. Artemis, thank you for fixing it to my size." She politely bowed to them in gratitude.
"No need to bow, my lady," Artemis replied. Dino nodded in agreement, "This was one of my few favorite pieces that I truly enjoyed putting together. The prince had very specific ideas so really, it was his idea for the look of the ring and colors that it came out to be. It really suits ya. It was my honor to make a ring for the crown Prince." Luna turned to Noctis, her eyes surprised at the revelation of his ring design. "I really do love the ring. Do your guards know?" She asked mischievously. This caused him to blush but Dino eyed him curiously, "W-w-wait wait wait a minute," He began. "Is this ring what I think it is?" Noctis looked at Dino and nodded, face still flushed. "This is a HUGE SCOOP! Tell me I am the first to get it!"
"He's a reporter?" Luna asked curiously. "Yes, but he is also an amateur jeweller. He's kept the fact that I've been outside of Insomnia a secret since he ran into me in Gualdin Quay back in the beginning of my trip. He can keep a secret." She looked at Noctis then back to Dino. "I have a favor to ask," She stated calmly. The trio of men looked at each other before turning their attention back to the young woman. Her voice was laced with a bit of mischief. "A word alone, if you don't mind?" Dino nodded as Artemis guided them to the back room, leaving Noctis to stare slightly dumbfounded.
The crownsguard members had arrived, looking at the prince. Gladio took the moment to clear his throat, grabbing the prince's attention. He turned to see the three of them staring at him. Ignis broke the silence between them, "What's this about?" Gladio eyed him, "I know we do hunts and all, splitting the profits into five but this place, is way outside of what we have made. So what is the princess buying?" Prompto was looking at the various pieces of jewelery, oohing and ahhing every other display he looked at.
"Camilla gave me access to the Insomnian consulate after our negotiations. I now have access to the crown's accounts, access only granted to the royal family." They all looked at him, "So YOU have access to cash from Insomnia?" Prompto squeaked. He was watching Ignis who was hiding slight irritation. "Iggy, I thought that was a rumor," Gladio asked. Ignis had adjusted his glasses, sighing loudly, "It is not. I was hoping Noctis never found about it. Only his majesty has ever accessed the account. According to Weskham, the account was opened some twenty five years ago. King Regis regularly sent funds to Weskham in order to deposit to the account. How did you find out about it?"
Noctis turned to look at Ignis, a smirk clear on his features, crossing his arms over his chest. I don't like that smirk, Ignis thought. "I thought you were kept informed of everything?" Noctis was toying with him. He had some secrets over Ignis still. One of the best kept ones was still safe thanks to his father and Weskham not revealing too many details. "Noct, don't tease Ignis. He looks out for all of us, especially YOU," Prompto pointed out, Gladio grunting in agreement. "Thank you Prompt but THIS is one of my many little secrets that I got to have with dad, no way am I gonna spill the beans so easily."
It was a this point that Luna had returned with both jewellers, a smile clear on her face. She wasn't expecting all four of them to be in a heated debate on secrets of the crown. She went to say something but Noctis' authoritative tone cut the argument, "I said to drop it. I am allowed to keep secrets of my own. So, enough of this talk." The tone left no room for any argument, the trio fell silent.
Luna on the other hand, felt herself feeling aroused by his tone again, recognising the desire his authority created in her. I've never felt this way ever. Men of authority have always frightened me but whenever he speaks with authority, I feel warm inside. I feel safe and want to be there by his side. Is this what Gentiana warned me about when it came to Lucian kings and their hidden charms? She felt her face heat up and was busy trying to fight the blush away but was failing miserably. Prompto noticed they had returned and turned his attention to Luna, noting the color in her face. "Um, Lady Lunafreya, are you okay?" They all turned to her, concern showing on their features.
This only caused the Oracle to blush harder, her entire face red, her ears red, and the area around her neck starting to redden. "Luna?" Noctis asked as he stepped towards her, concern clear in his eyes. Why do I feel so powerless when he looks at me? I get that warm feeling in my heart, butterflies in my stomach, well there are times when my stomach is doing somersaults but that's besides the point. Please don't touch me, I feel like I will lose control of my body if you do Noctis… "Luna?" She snapped out of her thoughts and looked directly into his eyes. "I'm fine. Just thinking is all." Noctis didn't really buy the excuse but he would get her later. "So, what do I owe you guys?" He had turned his attention to Dino and Artemis. The both shook their heads and replied in unison, "Nothing."
"All you owe Artemis is the necklace price," Dino replied. "I got one hell of a payment from the lady. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a favor to fulfill." Dino quickly left before Noctis could ask him what was going on. "Forgive me," Luna whispered. "I gave him an exclusive." Noctis raised an eyebrow, "Is this a good or bad exclusive?" "I'd like to think of it as a good one," she chipperly replied.
He paid Artemis for the necklace, taking it and putting it around Luna's neck, causing her to blush heavily again. He eyed his friends with a hesitation on whether or not he wanted to let them in on his plan. He decided against it. This will be a good way to test them on their reactions to high stress scenarios. As they made their way out of the jeweller, Noctis grabbed Luna's hand and strolled towards the Vivian Westwood boutique, causing the three crownsguard to follow closer than usual. Noctis noticed the cameras and reporters all talking about the wedding dress and how much the people wanted to see the Oracle. This caused Noctis to hold her hand tighter as he pulled her closer to him, practically walking hip to hip.
"Noctis?" She whispered as he made his way to the entrance of the boutique. They were about to enter when someone in the crowd shouted, "Look! It's Lady Lunafreya!" Noctis smirked at the immediate recognition of the blonde holding his hand. He quickly opened the door and walked in with her in front of him. People were beginning to crowd the door area but were stopped by the crownsguard members. "Everyone back up!" Gladio bellowed. Some people took a step back, surprised by the man's voice. Others ran off, shouting about seeing the Oracle. "Noct chose a bad time to test our crowd control skills," Gladio growled. "Indeed he did," Ignis replied.
Inside the boutique, Vivian Westwood herself came out to greet the couple. "Your Highness! My Lady!" She bowed to the couple. "I am honored that you two would grace our boutique with your royal presence. How can I assist you today?" Luna nodded in acknowledgement, "The dress is gorgeous. I wish to retrieve it, if possible." Vivian let out a scoff, "My Lady, the dress is yours. Consider me to be the one who keeps it safe. The people adore you and this dress is a symbol of hope. I still wish you would wear it to marry the dashing man next you." Noctis blushed as he nodded at the compliment. "Thank you, Vivian. I have every intention to do so. Just need to gather everything I need first. I've got the ring, my suit still and the bride. I require the dress." This caused Vivian to spin the blonde around with glee, "Wonderful!" She quickly made her way to the display case, stepping inside it and retrieving the mannequin. She had to hide the smile she had when she heard people cheering at the removal of the dress.
"Noctis, how are you going to get us out of here?" He smiled at her, "through the front door, obviously." He tried to contain the laugh but failed when he saw her shell shocked expression. "Noctis!" She exclaimed, "What happened to a low profile?" "Luna, I asked you to marry me. I am going to. Before the rite this Sunday. Hell, if I could, I would run off to the church right now, and marry you right now." Now it was Luna's turn to smile, "So it seems to me that we are on the exact same wavelength." He turned his head to the side, curious as to what she had meant. "Do tell."
"I sent Dino to do some looking into the church we were to marry in on it's availability as well as relaying a message to Camilla. She owes me a favor after all," she replied cheerfully. "So," Noctis replied. "Are we doing this tonight? Or will I have to wait longer to make you my wife?" She smiled and nodded, "Soon as I get word back from Dino. He's supposed to call you." Almost as if on cue, Noctis' phone rings. He pulls out the phone and answers, "Hello?"
"Perfect! Let the lady know the church is secured for the evening after tomorrow. Also, the First Secretary has secured someone to marry the two of you. So enjoy the last few nights single, you're getting hitched the day after tomorrow." Noctis smiled hearing the words coming through the phone. "Thanks Dino, best news I have heard today." He hung up and looked at Luna, "Day after tomorrow, you will officially become the queen of Lucis."
Vivian rejoined them, the intricate dress packed into a special box that would hold every piece without damaging it. Noctis took the box and smiled, "I'll need you the day after tomorrow at the church in the evening. Wouldn't want anyone else to help her get into the dress." Vivian blushed and bowed deeply, "I am honored to be of service your highness. I will be there, without fail." They nodded to the designer and made their way back towards the entrance. Noctis turned to Luna, holding her hand again, "Remember, let me do all the talking. This will get the Niffs all riled up." Luna nodded but eyed him curiously.
They exited the boutique to be surrounded by reporters from all over the world. They were all trying to get to the royal couple, thankfully the guys were holding back the horde better than Noctis expected them to. Gotta be sure to tell them thanks.
"Lady Lunafreya!"
"Prince Noctis!"
"What do you have to say regarding the empire's announcement after the fall of Insomnia about your supposed deaths?"
"Are you planning to retaliate for the empire's attack against the crown city of Lucis?"
"Lady Lunafreya, does the high commander of the the Imperial army know that you're spending time with the Empire's enemy prince?"
"Are you still going to marry? Is that what the visit to Vivian Westwood was for?"
"Why take the wedding dress?"
"What about the awakening of the sea goddess?"
Noctis looked onto the crowd, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, exhaling before opening his eyes and raising his hand to silence the crowd of questioning reporters, like his father used to at press conferences. He steeled his expression, preparing to answer the questions.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he began, his tone full of a regality that not many had heard, shocking even his friends and Luna. "To begin with answering your questions, I am disgusted with the way the treaty negotiations played out in Lucis. The Empire clearly had no intention of peace, otherwise the Crown City would still be standing, unharmed. The king of Lucis, my father, was murdered in cold blood, all for the sake of power." The reporters remained silent, the sound of flashing cameras and whispers were heard.
"If the Empire had any kind of sensibility, they would see what a mistake they made in assuming my death. I can assure you all, especially my fellow Lucians, we will not allow the Empire to get away with this grave insult. I have been travelling throughout Lucis since the fall, hearing what the fears are of the people and helping out with whatever and whomever I can. Although I have not revealed my identity to those that have met me and my retinue, I am honored to see the people of Lucis being so welcoming to the refugees of the Crown City. I thank them for their kindness. Please continue to take care of each other, Lucis needs all the love it can get."
He knew that he needed to address all the concerns. "As for the wedding that was promised," he turned to Luna, bringing her into the forefront. "I do plan on going through with the marriage. I do not see it as a marriage of convenience but rather a marriage of hope and love." He leaned in and sealed his words with a passionate kiss. His actions caused Luna to blush a deep shade of red, not missed by the reporters.
"Lucis will rise again and I as the crown Prince, Noctis Lucis Caelum, swear to bring an end to the madness that is the Empire. And I intend to do so with Lunafreya at my side, as both the Oracle and as the Queen of Lucis."
His words caused the people to roar in excitement. Some people in the crowd were crying, others were jumping for absolute joy at the idea of the Oracle marrying the prince of Lucis. "I only ask of the hospitable people of Accordo, specifically Altissia, please continue to allow us to enjoy the sights and sounds of your city without the royal treatment. We have enjoyed the hospitality as any other traveller and look forward to enjoying it more." The people went back to cheering loudly, allowing the royal retinue and couple to pass without any mobbing. The press stood in their place as well, not following the young king to be and the Oracle.
They quickly made their way back to the alleyways that would lead to their flat, Noctis' heart racing a million miles a minute, he picked up Luna, bridal style, and began to sprint back once they were on the right street. He was practically running with Luna in his arms as he warped up the balcony with her in tow. He scared Umbra and Pryna out of their sleep but pulled Luna into the flat quickly, ignoring the shouts of his friends. Luna finally decided now was the time to speak, "Noctis? Are you alright?"
He sat down on the couch and bent over, his head in between his knees, trying to catch his breath. "I can't believe I just did all that!" Luna bent down to see his face a deep shade of red. She smiled, "Are you embarassed?" His raised, "No. I'm just shocked at how calm and collected I was during the entire thing. I kissed you in front of press, something Ignis is gonna point out was not proper royal decorum. I felt like I different person." He had calmed down significantly, Luna kneeling in front of him, holding his hands. Ignis and company finally made it back, wedding dress in Gladio's hand, the group slightly winded from the climb up the stairs.
"Hardly proper royal decorum, Highness," Ignis smoothly stated after catching his breath. Prompto threw himself on the floor, breathing heavy, "I haven't run that fast or pushed myself that hard in ten years! No more shenanigans buddy. I need a break from royalty!" Gladio stared at Prompto with a look of disbelief, ignoring the statement, "Seriously, a little warning next time, Prince Charmless. I am all for crowd control and working for the royals but damn it, warn a man next time!" They all looked at Noctis who had turned around on the couch and smiled at their words. "Sorry guys," he stated smoother than Ignis on his calmest moments. "I needed you guys to be on your toes but mostly it was me thinking on the fly."
They stared in silent disbelief. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop and know exactly where it fell. It stood that way until Luna broke the silence with another fit of laughter. This caused them all to look at her. "I'd say they are far more entertaining than Pryna, Umbra and Gentiana. I'm so glad I get to see how you all are. Exactly the way he described you three." She had tears forming from the laughter. Ignis adjusted his glasses, hiding the blush that was forming by moving on to a new topic, "How about lunch?" He moved to the kitchen as Gladio put the box on the table and had a seat at the island in the kitchen. Prompto ran over to the dogs again, completely ignoring the royals.
"I say we should do dinner together, without the guards," Luna giggled. Noctis looked up to see a mischievous gleam in her eyes. He nodded, "Yeah but let Specs feed you lunch, he's got the best cooking I've ever had." To this she replied playfully, "Clearly you've never had my cooking." Prompto overheard her words, "I didn't know that they let a princess cook. Noct is god awful in the kitchen. He's not allowed to even brew coffee." Luna looked at Noctis in pure shock, "The toaster not enough for you?" Prompto burst into laughter, "You told her about the toaster? Six you're too much!" Gladio overheard the conversation, laughing heartily at the memory of the toaster. Noctis felt his ears turning red in embarrassment, "Last time I tell you guys a damn thing."
