who doesn’t love a few good filler chapters?

Theo catches Carter up on all the things over the past few days.

"Well damn that's a whole shit show I'm sorry I was a shit guard and I wasn't around." Cater responded disappointed in himself.

"It's okay man, I didn't include you. I think this was stuff we needed to do on our own. Something to make things about us and not the responsibilities of our duties and a bond." Theo said.

"I wonder how the people feel about their favorite princes marrying a high elf and not another sun elf." Carter said

"What do you mean? Why would it bother them?" I said

Theo sighs " some sun elves are pretty prejudice tonight and moon elves. Especially the common folk."

"Oh I see. Never thought other elves hated us? Why?"

"They think it's your fault we're struggling with the rot. That because of the shitty territory divide we were forced to be the ones closer to the mountains."

"Well that's dumb. The clans were divided generations again. After the first war. Maybe if their sun elf great great great great grandfather hadn't sided with the people who wanted to keep women like me pregnant in a kitchen." I continued ranting, "Maybe if they choose the right side they wouldn't live so miserable lives."

I was steaming it should be us that hates them, wanting to keep me from being tried like an independent person.

"Hey dont say shit like that about my people. OUR people." Theo said

"It's only OUR people if they see me as their QUEEN."

"I will kill any person who talks ill of you or intends to harm you and display them for all to see." Theo said "they will no the cost of disrespecting their queen and it's the same as treason."

"That's a bit excessive don't you think? They're allowed to not like me. That's not treason Theo"

"To be honest I agree with Theo and the queen, there will be a lot of people who aren't pleased with a woman ruling them. Especially the dwarves. They loathe the idea of a woman telling them what to do." Carter said "and because they know winning elven society it's more matriarchal than patriarchal. And the evidence of its success is evident."

"He's right the rest of Elysium could stand to benefit a lot by seeing how the big elves live with their equality in the heart of Elysium." Theo said

"And that darling is way we will plan a spectacular wedding to show all of Elysium how truly wonderful it is to let women do best and lead." Mrs. Evanstorm said walking in. "Oh my Riri, aren't you just as lovely as ever." I go running up to her and yell "Mammy!!"

When I first met Sera, she couldn't say mommy right so she said Mammy instead. So when Sera and I became best friends first day of music camp she introduced her mom as Mammy and so I called her Mammy too thinking it was her name.

Embracing me "oh the dress I'm having designed will be splendid!"
