The marketplace was packed with stalls, children, food, couples, senior, and now a princess with her brother's retainers. Corrin was holding herself as her, Niles and Odin walked the streets. She leaned in close with Odin, wrapping herself on his arm, which of course made Odin blush.

"You know, for a princess AND an adult, you're very fragile." Niles commented on. Corrin look him dead in the eye and glared.

"Do not joke about that Niles," Odin retorted, "Corrin was forever locked in that cold castle, have some dignity." Niles only rolled his eyes and kept walking. "With that aside, what would you like to eat Corrin?" Odin smiled down at her, she was a bit pink and rubbed her face on his arm.

Walking became tiresome for the three, especially Corrin who was still wearing her nightgown. The walking ended when Corrin stopped and sniffed. "I smell something...sweet." They all turn to the scent which was a stall selling pies and candy apples.

"How about some confections Lady Corrin?" Odin asked. Corrin was still a little shy about being outside, but she nodded and they walked to the stall.

"What will it be princess?" Niles asked, looking at all the freshly made pies, licking his lips.

"I mean, I had cake and pie before for special occasions," Corrin said to both of them, "but those candy apples look...disgustingly sweet." Corrin gagged a bit.

"Corrin, princess," Niles said, putting an arm around her, "let's pretend that tonight, you're not a princess and that you're just a normal girl at a marketplace. Let's forget that you're not allowed to go outside and party." Odin and Corrin looked shocked, Niles said something that wasn't lewd or inappropriate.

Odin then payed for some candy apples, giving Corrin one the other one to Niles. Corrin of course was a bit scared of trying it, having only fancy foods all her life, it was going to taste strange. Corrin took a bite into the apple...it was sweet, VERY sweet. Corrin then continued to eat as Odin smiled and Niles chuckled as she ate like a rapid animal

The rest of the festival was great: lots of delicious food, some fun games, and of course Corrin smiling which made Odin happy. Corrin and Odin were mostly alone together since Niles was hunting for boys, so the atmosphere for the two was a mix of silence and awkward small talk.

The best part of the night was about to begin, the fireworks. Odin and Corrin were able to find a spot on a patch of grass on top of a hill where other couples were sitting. Corrin was taking big bites into a crepe that Odin bought for her, he only looked at her with delight, smiling at her glee. This felt like the first time that Corrin was REALLY smiling, every time Odin saw her smiling in the castle, it always felt like she was faking it, only putting it on when around the king, her siblings, and even the retainers including him. He needs to tell her tonight.

"H-hey Corrin, there's something I've been keeping you for a while now." Odin got Corrin's attention. She obviously saw some sweat running down from his face. She tilted her head and ask 'what is it?'

Odin moved a little closer to her, close enough so that his arms wrapped around her waist, both of them becoming a blushing mess. "Corrin, I have been in love with you since so long ago. Your kind heart and gorgeous looks had made my heart soar. I hope you understand this." Odin blurted out.

Corrin was at a lost of words. Could it be him? A theatrical dark mage who was so close to her, the only one who understood her struggle with her arranged marriages and problems with the king. It's perfect, he's the one.

Corrin did not hesitate, she grabbed Odin's shoulders and captured his lips into a caring kiss. Right when their lips touched, fireworks were fired into the sky with different shapes and color, one of them being a pink heart. They separated and looked into their eyes, love and passion was filled with them.

"I see that you two finally tied the knot." A voice broke the passion of the moment, Niles sat between them. "Guess who was unlucky tonight and all the boys that I tried to hit on either called me a creep or gay." Odin and Corrin laughed at Niles and his downfall. "Beside that, we should probably get Corrin back to the castle, I don't want Jakob slicing out throats."

They all left the marketplace and walked into the castle. When Corrin took one step into the castle, Xander and Leo ran to her and gave hugs. "Where were you little princess," Xander had concern in his voice, "we were so worried about you. Where were you this afternoon?"

"I-I-I was," she was looking at Odin, who was also a bit shaken, "I had fun, with Niles and Odin. There were fireworks, candy apple, and so much fun."

Xander and Leo only sighed and pinched the bridge of their nose. Xander escorted Corrin to her bedroom while Leo kept Niles and Odin in place. "Why the hell did you take Corrin outside, you know fully well that you can't-"

"Well excuse me prince," Niles cut off his Lord, "Corrin was feeling sad after all the arranged marriage and her talk with the king. As for you and the other siblings, WE actually helped her with her problem." Niles snarky attitude shook both Odin and Leo. Both were sent to there quarters for the night.

Meanwhile in Corrin's room, she couldn't sleep so she danced around her room, reminiscing over her first kiss. Unlike the princes, Odin took everything slow, both the confession and the kiss. Corrin pushed her back against the wall and slid down, holding her heart. He was perfect, Odin Dark was the one.
