He walked back into a town he hadn"t seen in over a year, nothing had moved, but things had changed, it had grown larger without the cyclops threat. He walked through the dark streets only lit by the moonlight. He knocked on the door of king"s house. A mono-eye servant opened the door, "Um, h.e.l.lo sir, can I help you?""I am here to talk to Sir Kain."
"Um, very well, I think he is sleeping," She stammered, "Is this urgent?"
"Yes."
"Okay, who should I introduce you as?"
"Gold."
"Very well, Sir Gold, come in and wait here, I will go get him."
"I will," He nervously paced around the room, "Why am I so nervous?"
"Sir, this was the man who wanted to see you."
"Ah, Gold, the man who saved our town a year or so ago, how can I help you?" Kain yawned, "Excuse me, I was sleeping, it is the middle of the night."
"I wanted to ask you for something."

"Go ahead, I think I can accept most of your requests."
"Well, first, I have to admit that I lied to you about who I am."
"What do you mean?"
"I am Overlord, Gold for Goldema, I am the son of the Creator, I am the Guardian of Goldema," He explained, "I wiped out the Legion of Solar to protect the people of Goldema and I didn"t do it for power, like the legend my father spread, I had another reason, that is why came back here."
"Then speak."
"I came to ask for the hand of your daughter."
"What?!"
"You heard me clearly, I love your daughter, and I want to marry her, she was the main thing that made me want to protect this realm, more than power or money, more than control and more than ego, I did it to protect her, so that n.o.body ever would hurt her."
"Go get her," The maid nodded and hurried down the hallway, "Does she love you? I have a feeling that you and she had more than just a caretaker and patient relation, if she does want to marry you, she is yours."
"Yes, father? You called for me?" Bella entered the room after a minute or so.
"Yes, Overlord has come for you."
"Who?! O-Overlord? What do you mean?" She turned and noticed Gold, "Y-you are O-Overlord? But that man is Gold, the man who saved us, not Overlord."
"Well, that doesn"t matter, if I am Gold to you, so be it, but I am not here for that, I am here for something very, very specific."
"What could that be?"
"You father accepted," He nodded as Gold turned to him. Gold walked up to Bella and kneeled down in front of her, grabbing her hand, "Bella, I love you."
"I knew that, but what did my father agree to?"
"I want you to be part of my family, and I want to be part of yours."
"What?"
"Will you marry me?"
"Are you serious?"
"Yes, I want to marry you," He got back to his feet. He gazed into her eye.
"Yes," She said nervously, "Yes! I want to marry you, I want to share my life with you and be with you and only you."
"Well, I guess you two can get married tomorrow, right here, I will have it organized," Kain said as he gestured a maid to come toward him.
"But will Miia be fine with it?" Bella whispered, "I thought she was in love with you? Are you sure she won"t hate me?"
"Actually, I was going to talk about that later."
"Okay, if you want, but I can"t wait to marry you, but um, do you want to sleep here? Or do you have a room in the inn?"
"I can use your room."
"Before you two get all worked up, until the marriage, she stays pure until then."
"Father!"
"Don"t worry, Sir Kain, it is only sleeping next to each other, like an unmarried couple, not sleeping together, the way you are implying."
"Then go ahead you two, I have some sleep to get back too," He yawned, "Goodnight."
They entered her room and Bella shut the door behind them and locked it. She pulled him towards her and pulled him into a kiss. They held each other and then after a few minutes they separated. They gazed into each other"s eyes and Gold"s robes disappeared and they sat down on the bed.
"So, um, you are Overlord? I fell in love with Overlord?"
"Yes, I am sorry I lied to you, I just didn"t want to scare you away from me."
"Huh? What does that mean?"
"I kinda fell in love with you once I saw you."
"Well, at least we are equal," They lay down together, "How long has it been?"
"A little over a year, I missed you."
"So did I, but now I am getting married to you, I don"t care if you are Gold or Overlord, I still love you, but why did you chose the name of Gold?"
"Gold for Goldema, I had no inspiration."
"Can we, um, well, you know?"
"I made a promise to your father, you stay pure for tonight," He kissed her cheek, "I don"t want to break that promise, I say your father but now your father in-law is going to be a little special."
"Who is it?"
"The supreme being, the Creator."
"Wha?!" She moved away from him, "You are the son of the Creator?!"
"I thought you would have remembered that from the legends of the Overlord, but he doesn"t really care about me, it"s sad but that"s my life."
"Why not?"
"He doesn"t see me as his son, only as a mistake he made," Gold rolled his eyes, "I don"t care, I have this life and he can"t take it away from me."
"Do you have somewhere to go or not? Do you want to live here?"
"Actually, Nikholas and D. B. built me a palace before I arrived and I sent the four of them there to prepare it, care to join me there?"
"Of course, I"d go anywhere with you."
"I never asked, how old are you?"
"How rude."
"You don"t have to answer me," He stammered nervously, "I am sorry, I didn"t want to be rude."
"I am nearly 20, you?"
"24, yeah, 24, so yeah," Ensued an awkwardly long silence.
"Okay, then, um, awkward, um, do you want to talk about something else?"
"How have you been since I left?"
"Lonely, sad, I don"t know, bored, so yeah," She looked away from him, "My father wanted to marry me with an Ojami prince, to settle the unity of our people, but I refused and he slapped me," She touched her cheek, "I think that it was worth it to wait for you and marry you," He touched her cheek, "I am happy to see you again."
"Likewise, what dress are you going to wear for the marriage?"
"I have a white dress, so that one, and you?" She said pointing at his robes, "You only have those robes, what are you going to wear?"
"I can use Caster Illusion, so that I seem like I have better clothes but I will still be wearing these robes," He moved closer to her, "I missed these moments, I missed being with you, I love you, Bella."
"I love you, Gold, Overlord, whatever name you want me to use."
"Gold is fine."
"Then I love you, Gold."
