Chapter Text
Blake enjoyed the peaceful ride to the capital. It was a beautiful thing to experience. But now they were passing the front gates of the castle. This is where that journey ended.
Pyrrha hopped off the horse and gave Blake assistance. Blake took a moment to view the front of the castle. She had seen it before of course. The day of the tragedy. She remembers seeing the lanterns burning bright and the guests laughing and dancing together.
She looked over to the right to see the balcony. The same balcony she murdered the princess on. She remembered looking through the archway at a lonely girl staring up at the moon. How beautiful she looked, the way her skin glowed, the way her eyes sparkled with happiness whilst they danced. The way her lips felt when they kissed.
Blake shed a tear remembering how she fell in her arms. How happy she was to not die alone. It broke her heart.
“Miss Belladonna this way please.” Pyrrha said snapping Blake out of her memories.
“Yes, lead the way.”
Blake followed the knight through unfamiliar hallways before being greeted with large double doors.
“The king will see you now.” Pyrrha said as she stepped aside to allow Blake to enter. Blake gave her a nod and walked down the beautiful red and gold carpet leading up to the throne.
Sitting on top was the King herself. Her eyes glowing red, her sword hand sitting right on top of the handle. Beside her stood a beautiful white maiden who she had never seen before.
“Kneel!” The king ordered. Almost like a wave of gravity Blake quickly fell on a knee.
Blake looked up in time to see the King stand from her throne and begin taking steps down towards her.
“So… you were the one.” The King said. Blake felt her body trembling under the weight of pressure the King was exerting onto her.
“Who took my sister…” Yang continued as she made it down the steps, now taking steps forward towards the cat.
“May I ask you a question?” The king asked.
“Anything my lord.” Blake responded.
“Do you think about her?” The king asked.
“Every day and every night my lord. Not a minute goes by where I do not think of her.” Blake responded.
The king huffed at that. “Poetic.” The king said.
“Pyrrha!” Yang called and gave the knight a nod. The knight quickly left the room.
Blake stayed kneeling, her eyes glued to the ground, her body attempting everything in its power to calm down but the King’s presence alone was to much! Blake was sweating out a river!
Then her body stopped. Her vision went dark and her body went numb.
The only feeling she had were two small and soft hands over her eyes.
“I found my prince!” Blake couldn’t believe it. That’s impossible! That’s her voice! What kind of sick torture are they putting her through?!
Blake quickly stood up and turned around to see “her” standing there. Looking just as beautiful as the day she laid eyes on her on the balcony.
Blake was speechless, so Ruby spoke up.
“The knife, you left it, it helped stop the bleeding. While you were holding me I fainted from the pain. When Yang found me I was still alive.” Ruby explained.
Yang spoke up next. “The blade had a similar design to another one I had seen when an attempt was made on my father. Now that I knew that the White Fang were coming after my family I kept Ruby hidden from the world and made them believe she was dead whilst I waged my war. Now that it’s all over I believe it’s time I gave her away.” The king said as she led Ruby next to Blake.
“The world must never know she is alive. So I’m entrusting you with my dear sister. If you accept of course.” The king said. That left Blake to take a glance at the smiling rose at her side.
“I shall gladly accept this responsibility, my lord.” Blake said. Ruby smiled and took Blake’s closest hand in hers.
“I will have Pyrrha drop you off where she found you.” Yang said as Pyrrha bowed.
“Goodbye Yang.” Ruby said as she gave the strong king a hug. Yang smiled and stuck the sword to the ground and returned the gesture. Much to Weiss’ displeasure.

Another few days passed in the cottage. Both Kali and Ghira still suffering through the heartache of losing their daughter.
That was until their door knocked once again. Almost too quickly did they lunge at the door surprised and all too happy to see their daughter back home safe.
“Um Mother, Father, I would like to introduce you to my Wife.” The surprised expressions said it all as they looked passed Blake to see a princess standing behind her.
“G-good day, Mother, Father. I hope we can-GUH!?” Ruby was quickly tackled into a hug by Kali and lifted into the air almost like a small child.
“Oh my gosh you are so adorable. Blake you made an amazing catch!” Kali said as she snuggled Ruby.
“It’s good to have you home Blake.” Ghira said as he placed a hand on her shoulder. Both still watching Ruby giggle whilst Kali snuggled.
“I’m happy to be back. And even happier to know we’re going to be just fine.” She said.
And they lived happily ever after.
The End
