Rosalie woke up first out of the four boys. The first thing she noticed was that she wasn't outside, she was in Noctis' room. Prompto must have carried her inside after she fell asleep... in his arms. The thought alone was enough to cause her to bury her red face in the pillow. Looking at the clock she realized they all needed to get up and get ready to meet the King before they left. Getting up quietly she grabbed some clothes out of her bag. All she had to do was make her way to Ignis, who was laying on the floor, but in between, her and Ignis was a pile of snoring bodies.

Carefully she stepped over Noctis' body even though if she had stepped on him, she was positive he still wouldn't wake up. Then there was Gladiolus who was even trickier to get passed seeing as he was sprawled out in every direction snoring loudly. Then Prompto was sleeping next to Ignis, she needed to be careful not to bump into him. She had her left foot next to Prompto's stomach and her right foot on the other side of Ignis.

"Ignis. Wake up." Rosalie whispered quietly, briefly wincing when Prompto stirred in his sleep. Ignis moved briefly but still did not wake up. Sighing heavily Rosalie leaned down close to Ignis face and poked his cheek.

"Wake up!" She whispered yelled. This caused him to wake up with a start and knock his head against her's. Both groaned in pain and held a hand to their foreheads. Ignis looked at her before putting on his glasses on.

"Rosalie? What time is it?" Ignis asked while still in a daze from both just being woke up and then banging his head against her's.

"Almost 8 am," she replied. Ignis' eyes widened as he quickly got up and nudged Prompto with his foot.

"Wake up. We need to get ready," he called out to the others who groaned loudly in protest. Ignis turned to Rosalie with an apologetic look on his face.

"My apologies, I should have woke up earlier. Normally I wake up way before everyone else."

"Its okay Ignis, it happens to everyone, even to you." She said sweetly before heading to the bathroom to change.

Quickly she brushed her teeth and then brushed her hair before dressing in an off the shoulders black shirt, and a pair of gray jeans with buckled combat boots. Along with her clothes, she pulled her hair back into a braid and finally clasped her necklace around her neck that now help held her father's ring. Emerging from the bathroom she was grateful to see the boys fully dressed.

"We all ready now?" Ignis asked everyone as he strode to the door. Everyone except the crown prince nodded, Noctis just huffed and rolled his eyes.

"Alright, let us get going then," Ignis said while opening the door to let everyone out. Noctis was the first to walk out of the room in his normally grumpy demeanor.

"Goody," Noctis mumbled as he led everyone to the throne room.

As they now stood in the throne room Noctis was in front of his father while the others stood behind him. Rosalie was between Prompto and Gladiolus, having been standing for a few minutes now that she noticed Cor was absent but Rex was standing near the King's throne. She began to wonder what Rex and Cor have been discussing since they arrived, and how those two know each other so well, the king's voice quickly brought her back from her thoughts.

"The decreed house has come. Set forth with my blessing, Prince Noctis." King Regis' voice boomed in the empty room cutting through the silence.

As Noctis bowed from the waist he replied, " Thank you... your Majesty." He glanced up from his bow to look up at his father.

"Take your leave, and go in the grace of the gods." Regis finished and Noctis straightened from his bow. "Right," he said sharply as he turned around and briskly walked away.

As Noctis brushed past Gladio and Rosalie, they all began to share looks of disbelief. Noticing that Noctis was continuing to walk away they all hastily bowed to Regis before following after the moody prince. Once the doors closed behind them Rosalie decided to confront Noctis about his attitude. Quickly smacking him on the shoulder she placed her hand on her hips and glared at him sternly. Noctis had a look of shock on his face that quickly turned to annoyance.

"What." He said in a monotone manner, as his face settled into its normal 'resting brooding face'.

"Why the hell did you act like that?!" She sternly yelled at him as her glare hardened. He didn't reply as he rolled his eyes and walked away from her. Gladio placed his hand on her shoulder and gave it a comforting squeeze as he made his way in front of her, blocking her view of the prince.

"Hey, I will try to talk to him for ya," Gladio said softly as he gave her a warm smile.

"Thanks, Gladio." She said softly, her anger subsiding.

Giving her shoulder one last squeeze before walking off with Ignis to catch up to Noctis while her and Prompto brought up the rear. Rosalie looked up at the quite Prompto and noticed the freckles lining the tops of his cheeks and nose. It gave him a boyish look and made him look cute when he smiled, the thought of him smiling made her smile softly.

"Prompto?" She asked softly, Prompto looked down at her with a bright smile on his face.

"Yeah?"

"I was wondering what do you plan on doing once we get to Altissia?" Prompto was quiet for a moment.

"Hm, I wanna see everything and take a lot of pictures...Oh! Maybe I'll be able to take pictures of Noctis and Lunafreya's wedding!" Rosalie couldn't help but smile at his enthusiasm.

"I would love to see all the pictures you take, I bet they are amazing." She replied happily as the two of them caught up to the others.

Rosalie was quick to start a conversation with Gladio that she completely missed the blush that spread across Prompto's face. When they all reached the front doors Prompto decided to speak his thoughts.

"Well, princes will be princes." This caused Rosie to giggle, seeing how Noctis had a streak of being a brat when he needed to be an adult.

"So much for royal protocol," Ignis said with a heavy sigh.

"Not like you had to deliver a formal address," Gladio said to Noct as they all made their way down the steps.

"Your Highness!" They heard a voice call out from behind them, turning around they saw the King making his way down the steps with his kingsglaive closely behind him. Rosalie could feel the annoyance rolling off of Noctis.

"What now?" He sighed as he made his way towards his father. Rosie followed close behind him while the others stayed where they were.

"I fear I have left too much unsaid," Regis spoke solemnly to his son, "You place a great burden on those who would bear with you."

Noctis scoffed, "You're one to talk." Ignoring his son, Regis fixed his gaze on his son's companions.

"I ask not that you guide my wayward son, merely that you remain at his side," Regis asked as he briefly glanced at his son with knowing eyes. Noctis glanced over his shoulder at his friends as Ignis bowed to the king.

"Indeed, Your Grace."

"We'll see the prince to Altissia if it's the last thing we see," Gladio announced bowing his head. Prompto followed with a clumsy bow right after since he didn't quite know how to act in these situations.

"Yeah, what he said," Prompto finished quickly. Regis nodded to the three men before turning his gaze to Rosalie.

"You have nothing to worry about, I will keep him out of trouble," Rosie promised with a smile, not before giving Noctis a teasing push in the shoulder. Noctis was quick to intervene.

"Or you will be the one getting me into trouble," he counted while standing close to her, trying to make himself look intimidating. She retaliated with an elbow in his ribs causing him to let out a huff of pain.

Regis just gave the two a sad smile before chuckling at their antics. 'If things were different, I am sure those two would be getting married instead of Noctis and Lady Lunafreya,' The King thought to himself.

Having enough of this Noctis turned away from his father and looked towards the now running car. Cor and Rex were standing beside the car waiting for them to finish talking.

"Hate to break this up, but Cor's got the motor running. Drautos, he's in your hands." He said while moving to the car.

Regis quickly moved forward, "And another thing," he said rather quickly causing Noctis to turn around. "Do mind your manners around your charming bride-to-be."

Jokingly Noctis sauntered up to his father before bowing with his hand over his heart. "Your Majesty, as well. Try to mind yours around our esteemed guests from Niflheim." He said with a small smile on his face.

"You have no cause for concern," Regis replied.

"Nor do you."

"Take heed. Once you set forth, you cannot turn back," Regis warned Noctis in a grave serious tone.

'It's almost as if he is warning towards something that is to come, but that can't be right. Noctis is only leaving to get married.' Rosalie thought to herself as she furrowed her eyebrows together in concern as she continued to think on the King's words.

"You think I would?" Noctis asked in a huff as he put his hands on his hips. Regis' face softened considerably.

"I need only know that you are ready to leave your home behind."

"Don't know about you, but I'm ready as I'll ever be." Noctis said with a warm smile as he began his descent down the stairs once more.

"Take care on the long road." Regis moved closer to his son, prompting Noctis to turn to face him. "Wheresoever you go, the line of Lucis goes with you." Placing his hand on his son's shoulder, he looked deeply into his eyes.

"Walk tall, my son."
