Sebbiana

''' Sebbiana: Your new king and queen. '''

Sebbiana is a ship consisting of Juliana Reese and Sebastian Briarwood. They are currently happily married.

How did this all happen?
Well, it all started with a handkerchief and a joust. Juliana's handkerchief and Sebastian's joust in particular. Juliana had met Victoria and complained about all the other boys already receiving favors from an assortment of girls and she had yet to give a favor. Victoria of course suggested her brother for a few reasons: One, she likes to mess with him, Two, she already totally shipped it, and Three, well Sebbie needed all the luck he was going to get when it came to the competition in her mind. Aren't sibling's wonderful?

Well, Juliana gave that handkerchief to Sebbie and they did not speak again until....

...the first kidnapping. Yes, it took Sebbie's sister being kidnapped and Juliana worrying about the kidnappings to get this pair to talk again. What would have happened if the kidnapping never took place? Well, we have no idea. I guess we have to thank the authors for being evil.

Anyway, they started talking with Merek on how they were gOinG to sAvE the dAy! Which they did, not with the help of a pesky Aussie gal who was not very nice and got Juliana and Sebbie captured! It's like this was meant to be....or something!

Well, masquerade ball happens and Sebbie is being a wallflower when lo and behold, his future wife. They start talking again because why not and Sebbie asks her to dance with him, which of course she says yes.

How needs feelings when you have SHIPS!
Well, Sebbie and Juliana kept hitting it off until Sebbie realized he loved her. And because of roleplaying logic that did not take long at all. Well, so know Sebbie is hopelessly in love and gets very worried about Juliana during the Great Fire. Due to this worry and then followed by the relief of seeing Juliana again, Sebbie, the great rule follower, breaks the one romance rule that was just put into place and that he didn't much care for anyway because he is the number one supporter of Revia, kisses Juliana and now it's all coming into place. He loves Juliana, she seems love him back. Isn't life so great?

That is until authors decide to be evil authors again.

But first! A new challenge! Time to rule and oh! Look! Sebbie and Juliana are together! Maybe we should let it be nice for a bit. hehehehehe

HOW The Feels Started
Juliana was very fortunate to meet Victoria on the day of the joust, because not only did she get someone to give her token too, but she also met her future husband. From the beginning, she thought he was very charming and sweet, the kind of man her mother would want her to marry, if she wasn't aiming to be queen. Her token must have worked, because Sebbie won, but Juliana would always feel a bit guilty that the only reason she gave him her handkerchief in the first place was because she couldn't find anyone else.

They didn't talk much after that, until the heirs were kidnapped by assassins. Going on a rescue mission, failing, and getting captured together is very bonding, apparently, because that's when the sparks started to fly. It wasn't until the masquerade, however, that things started going somewhere. Sebbie and Juliana decided to sneak off and explore. They ended up falling asleep by the fire in the kitchen, which embarrassed Juliana, but waking up next to him, no matter how uncomfortable they were, made her realize that she liked him. A lot.

The Ship Sails
In the fire, Sebbie was the first person Juliana thought of when she was trying to escape. Finding him alive was an incredible relief to him, and the two finally decided to act on their feelings and kiss. It wasn't love exactly at that point for Juliana, but she had a feeling it was a little bit more than she had expected in the first place.

Spending more time with him, and getting to rule with him for a week in one of the villages made Juliana realize she loved him, and they officially told each other in the carriage on the way there, and got to spend a whole happy week together.

Sebbie
Sebbie nodded and pulled out the piece of paper. He cleared his throat and said, "Juliana, my love my queen and my jewel, you have become my life. I stand before you about to become whole and live the rest of my life getting the privilege of being able to call you mine and hear you call me yours. I could not think of any person that I would want to live the rest of my life with more and any person I would want to rule with me more. You are the most wonderful caring woman I have met, the most wonderful caring person I have met. It all started with a handkerchief and blossomed into this and I couldn’t be more grateful. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you, to grow old with you, and see our children grow up. I am the luckiest man alive to be standing before you on this wedding day. I promise to respect, provide, and care for you and our children. I promise to comfort, honor, and keep you in sickness and in health. I promise to love and to cherish you until my dying day. If there ever be a day when my mind is clouded and I have gone insane and I break any of these vows I have said, may I be stricken down where I stand. My love. My queen. My jewel. My Juliana. I love you and wish to be with you forever."

Juliana
Juliana reached up to brush tears from her eyes. “Oh Sebbie...” she whispered. She cleared her throat, trying to remove the lump, and then pulled out her own paper. “Sebbie. When I first saw you, on the first day, giving your speech about the rebellion, I knew you would be a good king. What I didn’t know was that you’d also become the person I love more than anything in the world. From the day we met, you treated me like the brightest star in the sky, and I can only hope I treated you the same, because you are the brightest star in my sky. Without you, I never would have come this far. You have been with me through it all. Even when you lost your memories, you kept going, you kept being strong for me.” She drew in a shaky breath. “I didn’t think I could ever forgive myself for what I did to you when we were captured, but you forgave me without hesitation, even though I don’t deserve it, and you’ve proved that our love can withstand anything. I don’t know what I did to deserve you, but I promise to spend each and every day cherishing you with my whole heart. I promise to honour you and care for you, through both sickness and health, and hold on to you every day I have left on earth. I promise that I will love you each morning, and when I wake up in the morning next to you, I’ll remember just how lucky I am to have you.”
