Weasel Talk (Herobrine x reader)

Chapter 1, Guests

The Sedgwicks were a respectable family of high nobility, even managed to marry into royality, they were a family defined by generations of old men with too much power for their tiny little wrinkly heads to handle and uptight women in corsets so constricting they seemed to squeeze any amount of good humor out them. I was a Sedgwick, with my proper, sometimes prissy attitude no one second guessed it.

 "(Y\N) You're pulling it too tight!" said my cousin Mary ( most people called her Molly)

I was helping her lace up her stays (short corset) for most of the season we had gone without them  but we now had reason to look presentable, we were going to have guests, important guests at that, the new king, and a few of his court members of the East Nether, not to be confused or compared with the West Nether unless you were looking for a good punch to the nose.

 "Sorry Molly." I said, trying to be more careful .

Molly's mother was the queen and my aunt, I was staying with them for the spring while my parents travelled, I was nineteen and perfectly capable of taking care of myself but my parents insisted saying that I would 'Fall ill of morbid loneliness.' which didn't make much sense but I didn't mind staying with my aunt.

I finished lacing her stays and she did mine.

 "Her majesty said they'd be here by the evening." I told her.

 "And they'll be staying for the ball?" she asked.

 " Of course they will. "

There was a ball to be had in about three days, the queen held one every spring.

"I think it's nice that the Overworld and the Nether are going to be getting along now." it was staggering how naive she was.

 I opened my mouth to speak but quickly shut it, I didn't need someone with as much influence as her complaining about me especially when I still hadn't found a man to engage.

"Yeah it is rather nice." I agreed.

We finished with dressing and went out to the gardens, we talked and walked together for a bit until the sky grew pink. Soon after the light became soft we heard voices from the front and went to see who it was. Three figures stood in front of the manor house, a carriage not far behind them. One of them, who I took to be the queen beckoned me and Molly from where we lingered at the edge of the gardens.

It was the queen and the Netherians. We exchanged the proper formalities the best we could, although it was quite like a poorly put together dance of awkward curtsies and attempted hand shakes, after this we all went inside for dinner.

After everyone was seated at the table a thick silence settled itself on the room.

The new king was intimidating, a long scar ran from his forehead, across his cheek, and ended on his chin after cutting through his lip, his name was Herobrine.

His eyes were white and seemed to glow faintly with a brightness somewhere between a fire fly and a dying candle, the other two with him were piglins, a man and a woman, both had human bodies with the heads of wild bores, their eyes although the size and shape of a swine's were very human.

 "I'm sorry the king couldn't be here, I think his train must be delayed." said the queen to Herobrine.

 " That's quite alright. " 

He had that kind of deep molasses voice that con-men and liars must dream of having, he could tell you anything and his words would sound so good you'd want to believe it.

 "What you're doing with opening up trade is admirable." She said " I don't see why it was ever closed in the first place, it was nonsensical, stupid really, my deepest condolences on the death of your father by the way. "
