the heavy stone doors to the throne room creaked open with a loud EEEEEEEEE to reveal a young warrior with heavy blond locks. he wore a red and white tunic that complimented his sky blue eyes, on his face were strewn a wide smile, his signature wide-teeth smile.

his name was tommy. a fearsome general who was known for his aggressive temper and the poorest choices of words, despite being scrawny, he packed a punch, as the saying goes, 'never judge a book by its cover'.

'good morning, your majesties.' tommy greeted as he bowed his head slightly in respect to wilbur and niki who sat upon their golden thrones.

'why the formalities, general? its unlike you.' niki teased to which tommy lowered his head as if he were ashamed and said 'warden tubbo said my choices of words were far beyond what he could acknowledge.'

wilbur chuckled as he rose, 'general, as you may have heard, we have a traitor among us, we need to find a way to assure the kingdoms and our people that we have it under control.' wilbur said, his voice stern and proud, the true characteristics of a king.

'your majesty, wi- with all do respect of course, you know- we have no damning proof nor leads on a traitor as you've said, its gonna be impossible to find any leads.' tommy stammered nervously as he fidget with his tunic.

'we may not have a suspicion on anyone yet but there are ways to by the very least ensure the peoples safety.' wilbur said as he paced the room. 'for starters, we could impose a curfew and-'

'your majesty, if i may speak.' schlatt interrupted.

wilbur jumped at the sudden inclusion of schlatts input. 'schlatt? your back from your briefings rather early today.' niki asks to which schlatt replys, 'yes, the councillors of the kingdoms have agreed that action needs to be taken however i must add that they still strongly doubt of the existence of said traitor.'

wilbur groaned, 'how was the scroll not enough proof tha-'

'YOUR MAJESTIES!' a scream burst out interrupting wilbur as a frantic quackity came bursting through the door, accompanying him were ranboo and sapnap.

'CANT I EVER GET A WORD IN? what is it quackity?' wilbur asked, pinching the bridge of his nose.

'my apologises, your majesty. you must hear this. somethings wrong!' quackity exclaimed as he struggled to wipe the sweat off his head before continuing, ' eret is missing! he was the last one on patrol! there were reports of strong wind attacks coming from the north border!'

realisation dawned upon wilbur as terrible thoughts filled his head, secretly he hoped that what he feared isn't coming true. wilbur looked over to tommy, 'evacuate the north border immediately, gear up and take ranboo with you only. investigate but do not attack! your main objective is to stop the attack and bring back eret! GO' wilbur commanded.

without a second thought, tommy and ranboo turned and left the throne room. wilbur turned to niki, 'take fundy somewhere safe.' wilbur says. 'what? why? im sure this will be solved soon, theres no need for action like this.' niki pleads.

'niki listen. if this is what i think it is, no one is safe. fundy is our only heir, please niki...' wilburs voice faltered, his heart broke at the thought of him leaving them.'come with us! wilbur please...' niki said, her voice cracking as she struggled to maintain her composure.

'no my dear, im sorry, i have to see this through, i cant betray my people. please understand...' wilbur comforted her as he cupped her cheek, trying his best to reassure her. niki sighed as she gave one last broken (im so brocken writing this lol) to wilbur, 'come back to me..' she finally says as she steps away.

wilbur sighed and turned to schlatt, 'schlatt?' he called out.

'yes, your majesty?' schlatt replies.

'grab my armour.'

(get in loser we going shopping typa beat lol)
