"To hell with schemes. To hell with revenge. I'll burn down this entire place right now if you ask me to." - an unusually very open Ursula to Malachai, a few minutes before he's forced to go to the altar
Malachai wasn't expected to see Ursula right now. To be honest, he sent the invitation to her and her... family, but wasn't sure she will actually show up. He did it mainly to get to his father, who couldn't refuse the request. The High King of the Seas tried to argue with his firstborn about having Ursula back here, and others little details, but for once, the merman stood up for himself on some things he thought important, like having his twin sister here with him. He barely heard her words, to be honest, because as soon as he registered that she was right next to him, he hugged her. This was quite unexpected from them, for they weren't the kind of twins to hug or show affection, even though they knew they love each other unconditionally. But only know, Malachai realized how he needed her at the moment, and how glad he was that she came.
Ursula seemed taken aback by the hug, which wasn't surprising, but she hugged him back, and for a moment, the young man felt as if they were back to their childhood and all he wanted was to go explore the seas with his twin sister, the kraken, and the leviathan like the good old days. Then, after a few second, her words finally reached his brain, and he let go of her, frowning, suddenly serious.
❛No you will not.❜ He simply answered, and it was clear that it was a direct order.
❛Why? We will be done with him!❜
❛There are too many innocent people here. People who don't deserve to be collateral damages.❜ He said, and he could see at her expression that she didn't really care about his words, which is why he kept going: ❛I can't put people's life in danger for so little.❜
❛So little?! You are about to marry a fucking stranger, that's not 'so little'! Why are you like that!? Why are you marrying someone you don't even fucking know, and why the fuck do you care this much about other people safety?!❜
❛Because this is what being the future High King is all about!❜
As often between them, the simple conversation became a screaming match, and Malachai had to force himself to stay calm to not drawn attention to them, especially Triton's one. He took his sister by the arm and brought her behind a curtain, in order to have a bit of privacy. Closing his eyes, the man sighed and tried to keep his composure, which was hard, but he finally succeeded. Taking Ursula's hand, he tried his best to smile, but it was clear he was doing so only to reassure his sister.
❛We both knew this day will happen, don't we? This was my duty from the beginning, I was just a fool to believe I could escape it...❜
❛Malachai, don't let him take that away from you.❜
❛It's all right. I already gave him my terms for it.❜ He said while shrugging, and it made Ursula frowned. He wanted to explain, but before he had time, Nathaniel came, clearing his throat to catch their attention.
❛Mal... It's time.❜ He said, and Malachai could see that the siren was as sad and angry as Ursula right now. He looked at his sister once again, kissing her forehead in a protective way.
❛Be quiet, please. I know father is waiting for you to overreact, so he can once again attack you in front of everyone. He will be happy to declare a war right now, let's not give him this satisfaction.❜
❛I won't promise that.❜
❛Please, Ulla. As a wedding gift.❜ She reluctantly sighed and nodded, which made Malachai smile genuinely. ❛Thank you. For being here.❜
❛We're twin. Obviously, I would show up.❜
❛Yeah, at least I invited you at my wedding.❜
Ursula sighed again at her brother's bitter words. Yes, he still wasn't over the fact that his twin sister was married –or so he thought– and he wasn't even there. But right now, this discussion seemed trivial. Taking a deep breath, he looked at her leaving for the bench, while he followed his brother to the altar, in order to get married to a girl he never saw before.
