*"You want me to teach your fiancé sign language." She said. I merely nodded, and she agreed.*

It had been only a week when my… fiancé arrived. I can't say that I was excited.

"My Lady Liv." Harold greeted her.

"Nice to see you again, Harold." Liv said, then she saw me. The dark angel of death standing, umm hiding, behind Harold. "Oh my, Nathaniel, is that you?" Liv asked nervously. I was glad for the mask then, for I winced both at her fear, and the thought of having to marry her so soon.

I nodded to her question, and she gasped. "What happened to you?" she asked. I looked to Shanna to explain.

"While he was in Japan, his vocal cords were cut." Liv looked at me, shocked. Shanna continued, "he was then caught in an explosion in America a few years later. His face is bad enough that most people puke or at least gag the first time they see it. That's the reason for the mask."

"Oh, well I guess I'll have to get used to his, umm, your face then." Liv said sheepishly, blushing and giggling. I smiled seeing that she was as nervous as I was.

I nodded, and offered my arm so I could lead her to her rooms, which were connected to mine. This would be an interesting few nights while we got used to the arrangement, and then married.

I could tell she thought the same when she blushed slightly at our arrival. We both thought the same thing then, one week until our marriage.

~Day before the marriage, Liv's POV~

I had no idea why he had suddenly asked me to enter his chambers, but he seemed nervous. I had learned a bit of ASL, so we didn't need Shanna. 'I want to show you my face so that you know what to expect tomorrow.' He signed to me.

"Alright, but… let me remove it, please." I said. This seemed to please him, because he nodded and lowered his head. I walked forward, and lifted the visor from his eyes. He had the purest, most perfectly blue eyes I'd ever seen. I quickly removed the rest of the mask, he only helped when I struggled with the clasps. When it was completely off, I smiled. Yes, his face was bad, but not unrecognizable.

"You see, it's not that bad." I said. He then smiled brightly, and I saw that the scars overly animated his face. "Ah, now I see, you wear the mask to hide your emotions." I said. He rolled his eyes, and made this wheezy, panting sound. I looked at him worriedly.

'I'm fine. Just laughing.' He explained. I wanted to kiss him so bad.

~Snake-eyes POV~

After I explained my laugh, I saw this wistful look come into her eyes. I could tell why, for I wished to kiss her as much as I think she wanted to kiss me. 'What are the laws about kissing before marriage here?' I asked with a smirk.

She suddenly blushed. "There are none, and unless you take liberties with me, it won't be looked down upon." She replied with a knowing, and dangerous smile.

Before she could say anything else, I swept her up into my arms and pressed my lips to hers. I kissed her until I saw her get dizzy. I pulled back, and smirked at her. "W-wow, that was, amazing." She said dreamily, with a satisfied smile on her blushing face.

'I, should go before I get overly excited. I'll see you tomorrow.' I signed to her.

"Alright, until tomorrow." Liv replied.

~The next day, wedding day, 3rd person POV~

The wedding was traditional, and of course they had the wedding procession, and then came the toasts:

"The first to speak shall be King Arne of Sweden." The toastmaster announced.

"I would like to thank everyone for attending my daughter's wedding tonight. I would also like to congratulate Nathaniel on his homecoming. I will toast to how brave he has been all of these years. Therefore, I toast Nathaniel tonight." Arne said, and raised his glass in a toast.

"The next toast will be from Crown Prince Nathaniel of Norway." Toastmaster announces.

"I shall Be translating for Nathaniel tonight." Scarlett says to the assembled audience. "Alright, from here on out, this is what he says. I am glad to see my people again, after twenty years, I'm glad you never lost faith in me. I would also like to thank you for joining me and my lovely wife on our wedding day. Thank you for your support and willingness. I would now wish a toast to three people: my dear butler Harold, my wonderful friend Shanna, and my beautiful wife Liv. Thank you."

Everyone roared in approval. "The next toast shall be made by the Crown Princess Liv, now of Norway." The toastmaster announced.

"First off, I would like to thank Shanna for translating for Nathaniel for so long, and for teaching me sign language. I would also like to thank my husband for being the amazing man he is, and accepting me so quickly. On this momentous occasion, of the uniting of our two kingdoms, I would like to raise a toast to Shanna O'Hara of Georgia, America." Liv said. Another burst of cheers.

"Now Queen Ingrid of Sweden shall make a toast." The toastmaster said.

"Thank you, toastmaster. Tonight I would like to raise a glass to Prince Nathaniel's late parents, for bringing this wonderful boy into the world." Ingrid said, raising her glass. Everyone applauded.

"Now," Shanna translated after the feast and desert, "I wish to thank you for this wonderful meal, and I bid you all a good night." With that, the guests bid each other, and their future rulers goodnight.
