“Are you sure, my dear?” Princess Bubblegum asked nervously.
The red haired woman stood straight and tall, her blue eyes flashing. The group before her consisted of all the royalty in the lane of Ooo. They were staring at her with various expressions; some were shocked, others were horrified. None of them would ever understand, so she wasn’t going to even try to explain. They didn’t need to know why she was doing this anyway. It was personal.
“I am, Princess.”
“Well then, if nobody has any objections, we shall proceed.”
They stood up and Princess Bubblegum joined the fair skinned woman up in the front of the group. A book was brought forward and sacred oaths were taken.
“And now, Crystal,” Princess Bubblegum said softly. “I dub thee the princess of ice and snow. Let’s get you a gown and crown. And I certainly hope you know what you’re doing.”
Crystal nodded. “I do.”
Crystal was led away into a room to be measured. As she stood there, she thought to herself. She had lied to them about her name, but the rest was true. They wouldn’t have known who she was anyway. Only a few in Ooo had heard of Betty Grof, and Simon was one of those few. And she was hoping that that knowledge would save him.
