Bryan was over the moon that he and Inpu finally got married,
But the thought was plagued by the thought of having to marry River, which immediately made him conflicted
He was still at Inpus kingdom, right next to Inpu, who was cuddling him,
Inpu had looked up at Bryan and noticed that his expression was changed,
"Dear-?... Are you alright-?"
"Huh-?... Oh! Yes, yes, I'm okay -..."
"... You are thinking about the marriage you don't want, aren't you?"
"... Yeah...- I just- don't know - "
"Bryan, I have to ask you something, -"
"... What-?"
"Do you want to be king,-?"
"What-?..."
"Do you want to be king? Is that what you truly want-?"
"I-..."
And he finally thought about it,
All these years he thought that he wanted to be king,-
Was it something he wanted, or was it what the others wanted?
"..."
"No-"
He finally answered,
"Well, how about we run away,-?"
"... Run away,-? But, what about your kingdom-?"
"Magnus can look after it, we just need to talk about it for a bit- "
"So... You'd leave your kingdom, ... For me-?..."
"Yes, - just for you. Anything for you."
There was silence,
But it was disturbed by the sound of sniffing,- crying
"Dear-?"
"Mhm,! Yeah-! Sorry- sorry- I just -... I don't know-"
"Hahaha, it's okay!- "
"Shush-... But... What about the conflict? "
"Well, - it turns out that the messenger I sent, to deliver the peace treaty, - never delivered them on purpose."
"Oh, ...- but why-?"
"We don't quite know why yet- but, I've sent a new peace treaty, that also explains everything about the issue"
"Ah, well, let's hope that it gets to my mother-..."
"If everything goes well, it will,- if it doesn't, I'll deliver it personally for once and all"
"Now that would be a spectacle to see-"
"Pft hahaha, -"
"But where would we go?"
"The human realm of course"
"Yeah,- but- where-?"
"There are plenty of cities where we can go,- and we have the money, "
"Really -? You have human money?"
"Mhm, I used to travel there for a few years,"
"Ah, research I suppose?"
"Mhm, so, plan?"
"...mhm, yeah- I guess so"
.

Bryan did return home for a final time, taking whatever he wanted to keep with him, in the human realm,
He didn't take much, except for a few books and special jewelry,
"Will that be all?"
"Mhm"
"Hm, alright,"
Inpu said to Bryan, looking around his room, himself
"We will have to stop by my place a final time, I've already informed Magnus, and they're alright with it, just gotta pick up a few things at all"
"Of course hahaha, but, are you sure you want to leave - ?"
"Yes, I'm rather sure,- being a king was never easy, I never liked it"
"Ah, alright- I didn't know that-"
"Oh, really-? How so?"
"Well,- I don't know- you seemed to have liked it- I think-"
"Hahaha, well, I don't hate it, but I don't like it either- "
"Hm, neutral?"
"Yep"
*door creaks*
"Bryan-?"
It was River, Bryan's " fiance"
"What is he doing here-?"
He looked at Inpu
"Oh no,- shit-"
"Do we tell him-?"
"We kinda have to now-"
"Tell me what-?"
*sigh*
Bryan huffed,
"Well,- I'm sorry, but I just don't like you, - your not bad at all-but, but I just don't see you more than a friend,-...
And I don't want to be married to someone I don't like-..."
"Oh-"
"I'm so sorry River,- I just can't get married to you-"
"But- why is he here-? He's your enemy, isn't he?"
"...no- it's complicated- but we are married,- we got married secretly - we have been trying to establish peace,- and if everything goes well,-
There won't be any more fights, I hope"
"Oh- it's okay- to be honest I had a suspicion you didn't like me- and that's okay,
I don't really like you either- well, not like that at least - I already have someone else"
"Oh! That's amazing! "
"Thank you,- but what are you doing-? "
"We are - leaving- as so to say"
Inpu replied to River
"Oh, like running away-?"
"Yeah- neither one of us wants to be king- so we are leaving to the human realm "
"Hm, well, good luck"
"Thank you! And thank you for being understanding!"
Bryan said
"Of course"
"We'll, be going now tough- "
"Yes! Yes! Goodbye River,- hope everything works out for you!"
"Likewise, good luck"
The jackal already had quietly leaped out of the window, and Bryan followed shortly
They had everything ready after inpu collected what he needed,
The only thing left to do was to leave, and never turn back
The portal to the human realm layed in inpus palace, quietly warping
As- Bryan and inpu stood before it
They both were a little nervous, knowing this may be the last time they see this place
But they didn't care, as long as they were by each other's side, they could do anything
"Ready?"
"Yeah,- yeah... I think so"
"Noooo, I won't take that for an answer,- are you ready?"
Inpu asked firmly
"Yes, yes-"
"Are you?"
"Yes! Yes! I'm ready! Hahaha"
"That's much better, haha let's go"
.
.
.
They emerged in an old cabin
The portal back to the underworld,
Bryan followed Inpu, to the supposed house he owned when he resided in the living realm for research
.

"Ugh... I hate schoollll-"
A child groaned, throwing their backpack on the ground, after a long day of school
"I knowwww right-? Everyone hates school-"
"Hey,-! I like school"
"Oh shush Femi- "
Said the second child, to the third child
"Well, well, welcome home Atlas, Femi, and Lotus,- hahaha, dinner is already ready "
Their father said,
As the kids rushed to eat,
"Pft hahaha,- They're just adorable,"
"Mhm,"
Bryan replied with a hum, hugging Inpu, as he hadn't slept and happened to be tired,
"... 9 years,- and you still haven't fixed your sleep schedule..."
"... Shush- you're no better-"
*sigh* "alright, alright-, I won't pester you no more, but I will drag you to bed"
"Fineeee,- "
Bryan said, only hugging Inpu closer,
"Magnus is coming to visit soon,"
"Really? That's nice,- the kids will be really happy to know that, have you told them?"
"Not yet, - but I will"
"Do you ever miss that place-?"
"Hm?"
"The kingdoms?"
"Hm, I guess a little, but, not far too much,
... You miss your kingdom, don't you?"
"... A little,- "
*sigh* "it will be alright,- "
"...mhm"
"Dad! Did you already forget about the festival??"
"Oh! Thank you for reminding me, I almost forgot! Are you three ready to leave already?"
"Mhm! "
"Ah, just wait for a little for us to get ready okay?"
"Okay!!!"
