"Dammit Corrin," Jakob said annoyingly, pinching the bridge of his nose, Corrin fell AGAIN and he was getting sick and tired of her falling "you need to wear shoes so that you don't bruise yourself."

"Jakob, remind me," Corrin protested back, "who fights with a sword and trains with a brother on a horse...barefoot." Corrin smirked at him, he rolled his eyes. Then Odin and Niles came running towards Corrin and Leo, both panting and out of breath.

"What's gotten you two out of breath?" Leo asked, I bit confused.

"King Garon wishes to speak to you Lord Leo," Niles said calmly, still heaving like a animal, "he needed to talk to you as soon as possible."

Leo only nodded and bowed to Corrin, saying goodbye as he was escorted by Niles. "Well that's enough lessons for today. Odin you can leave now-"

"Can Odin dance with me instead of Leo?" Corrin cut off Jakob, both men were speechless, Odin being a little flushed. "My reason is because Leo is my brother, it's difficult to see him as a future husband and that's gross. I think Odin would be a great candidate." Corrin's talking dazed Odin, his blush going from pink to a pale red.

Jakob groaned and walked towards Odin, putting his hands on his shoulder. "If you make one move on her, so help me you'll life will be over in a snap." Jakob warned, his knife near his neck, his nose scrunched up. Odin gulped and nodded, the knife retracted and Jakob walked back to the phonograph.

Odin was sweating a little bit as he approached Corrin. He began to wrap one arm around her waist, while the other intertwined with her hand. Corrin also wrapped her arm around him and smiled. "If one of us fall or trip, I promise to catch you and you promise to catch me."

He only gulped and nodded, his red because he was so close to her body.

And so the music began. Corrin and Odin stepped in sync, Corrin closing her eyes to concentrate on the music, the same way she concentrates on fighting with Xander. Odin on the other hand couldn't stop staring at her: her snowy hair bounced lightly as they danced, her pale skin was clean with only bits and pieces of makeup, her flushed face made her so cute. Odin thinks he's in love.

The song ended, Odin tried to depart but Corrin pulled in into a hug, Jakob was a bit in shock seeing her act a lot different than usual. Odin had no idea how to respond, he only completed the hug by wrapping his arms around her.

"Ahem," a loud cough bellowed through the ball room, Garon tapping his boot on the ground, "may I have a word with my daughter?"

"Of course sir." Jakob respond, physically pulling Corrin away from Odin. She walked towards the king but looked back, giving the dark mage a wave. He waved back.

"You wanted to see me father?" Corrin asked politely, if she said something wrong she would be in big trouble. King Garon sat down at his throne like usual, grumbling to himself.

"It's about your arranged marriages. All the princes I sent letters to all wrote back a decline, saying that 'you were too scary' for them." The King said grimingly. Corrin's face turned sour as she looked down, clinging onto the hem of her dress.

"All of them were horrible people, father," Corrin protested to the king, "they tried to grope me and they didn't take no for an answer. I don't know why I need to be married now. Why can't Xander or Camila get married first, they are the oldest after a-"

SLAP

Corrin was cut off by a harsh slap on her cheek, hot tears were threatening to leak out of her eyes. "Yes, Xander and Camila are the oldest, but more princes from different lands like you more. It just seems logical."
"IT'S COMPLETELY ILLOGICAL-" Corrin cut herself off as Garon held up his axe. The princess went silent.

"Back to your room." The king simply said. Corrin only nodded and walked back to her room, thinking about taking a hot bath.

Corrin descended her bare body into the tub, her chest and head the only thing exposed. Her head was thinking about what her dream prince would look like, something that wasn't douchebaggy or someone that wasn't a huge creep. She wanted someone who could protect her from the dangers of bandits and Hosidians, she wanted him to be handsome but also be kind of heart. She needs-

KNOCK KNOCK

Corrin jumped as she heard her bedroom door being knocked on. She got out of the tub and dried her body and hair with towel, and wrapping herself in a towel. She ran to open the door to see Odin and Niles standing there, of course all three of them were red since Corrin was just in a towel.

Odin and Niles covered their eyes. "May we come in Lady Corrin?" Niles asked. Corrin said yes and the men came into the room.

"Can you guys be gentleman and not snoop on me while I put on my nightgown?" Corrin requested, the boys nodded and turned around when Corrin let her grasp go of the towel. "So why did you guys barge into my room?" The white-hair princess asked cheekily.

"We overheard in the throne room about princes not taking the offer of marrying you," Niles began, giving Corrin flashbacks to Garon slapping her across the face, "we heard you crying so Odin and I got a great idea to cheer you up!"

"And what are you guys plan to cheer me up?" Corrin asked, turning around, her nightgown flowing with her movement.

"BY TAKING YOU TO THE MARKETPLACE!" Odin yelled out theatrically, Niles immediately covering his mouth, "It's Saturday so there's going to be delicious food and fireworks."

Corrin looked at the boys with confusion, she's not allowed to go outside so why are they going to risk taking me outside. Corrin looked down at her bare feet, thinking of answer. On one hand, delicious food and fireworks, but on the other is your brothers and Camila scolding you. Corrin likes the latter. "Ok gentlemen, I'll join you!" Corrin answered with a smile. Odin went pink as he smiled, Niles smirking at him.

Niles and Odin escorted Corrin as quietly as possible, hopefully trying not to get the attention of one of the siblings or...Jakob. But they were able to escape the castle and into the marketplace, ready to have fun.
