»Varus held his breath as he waited for an answer. It would be really awkward if she said no. Thankfully, after a momentary stutter she agreed to marry him, but with one condition—that he must wash himself immediately. Varus laughed as she pressed her lips to his. “Yes, I will take a bath” He agreed, realizing that he probably did not smell all too pleasant after last night’s endeavors. He followed Celeste up to the room. She immediately started preparing a bath for him. Varus took the opportunity to sit down for a moment since he was still feeling a bit dizzy and sick from last night. He watched as she ran around the room gathering the soaps and water. That’s when he truly felt glad in his decision to marry her. He could get used to having her take care of him like this. He allowed her to disrobe him and got into the water.
The warm water felt nice. He closed his eyes and relaxed as she rubbed his back and shoulders. He soon felt her fasten something around his neck. He opened his eyes to find that it was the locket she had been wearing this entire time. At first he looked confused. It was a nice gift but a woman’s necklace was not really his style. But Celeste soon explained that it contained what he was looking for the night he first stole her from Dragonbourne. He examined it more closely and found that there was a finely crafted chamber inside that contained the phoenix ash. “My father said something about resurrecting the phoenix right before he died. This must be what he meant” He said, truly believing that the creatures could be resurrected. He turned around to face Celeste. She proposed that they bring back the dragon and the phoenix and march on Kings Lawn as soon as they are grown. Varus couldn’t agree more. It was their only choice really. As soon as he weds Celeste they would have deliberately disobeyed the king. If they were ever to be caught they would be killed. The only way for them to be together was if they could take down the king himself. “It wont be easy but it’s what we must do. A lot of people are going to want to kill us as soon as I put that ring on your finger. Are you sure you want to do this?” He asked. He of course was sure. He didn’t care what the capital sent at them as long as he was with Celeste.
After he was done cleaning himself he grabbed a towel and dried off. He told the guard to inform the people that he was going to give a public address. By the time he had gotten dressed there was a large crowd forming outside in the courtyard. The people were all gathered and anxious to hear what their lord was going to say. Varus took Celeste’s hand and led her out onto the balcony. All eyes instantly looked up at them. The anxious faces of what would soon be her people too. “There’s no turning back now. I’m ready if you are” He said as he gave her hand a squeeze. He smiled reassuringly at her before turning to the crowd. “People of Candor!” He addressed in the booming voice of a leader that echoed all the way to the ground. “I am here to announce that Lady Celeste and I will be joining our houses! Candor will be stronger than ever with the mighty Dragon by our side, I assure you there is nothing to fear! For now I propose a feast. Lets open up the mess hall and celebrate this joyous occasion tonight!” The announcement was met with mixed feelings. Most of the people loved Celeste and cheered when Varus announced their engagement. However, there were some that doubted his judgment. Those were convinced that their lord had just condemned them all to death by defying the king.
