With supper in their stomachs, the group was finally tired, so they were able to try to get sleep. Dark snuggled against Raven as they had moved her bed and belongings into the same room for safety. Raven slept with a wing over her little sister, making Dark feel safe and helping her sleep.

Torga looked at Argon who lay in the living room since he was too big to sleep in the other rooms. She sat down against his large tail, watching the window for any sign of creeps trying to get in.

~The next day~

The group eat breakfast that Torga and Moonclaw made, relaxing as the crowds of males couldn't get through the magic barrier that Torga had made to keep her majesty safe when she entered the yard. Dark sighed, relaxing on the couch with her sister as Torga looked out the window, "Finally, peace and quiet. Thank you Torga for the help."

Torga turned and bowed some, "It is my job to help you. And I would have chosen to help you even if I wasn't your Royal witch." "Wait, I have a royal magic person?" Torga laughed a little, "Of course Dear, those of great wisdom and magic are chosen by an unknown power in the skys. I was chosen before you would even be though about. And, I shall help you till the end of the Kingdoms."

Dark smiled and thanked her again, Raven looked out the window as well, "Hey, who are those direwolves?" They looked out and saw the Great Direwolf Kings, who were riding on the backs of the dragon of said kingdom. They called out to them and asked if they were to show her to them.

Dark looked at Torga nervous as she wasn't comfortable meeting the Kings while being surrounded by a bunch of greedy males. Torga seemed to understand her worries and went out into the front yard, "The princess is very uncomfortable in crowds. She will not meet you till the crowds have cleared. If you do not comply, I shall keep her away from you and the other Kings till you do comply. Understand?"

Unhappy the Sun King agreed and they left to have a place to rest after the long trip. The Forest King climbed down from his dragon and walked up to the barrier, "Is she in good health Miss? I do not wish for her to be unhealthy." "She is well, it is only the fact of all the males wanting her against her will and surrounding her that she doesn't exactly enjoy."

He nodded then turned to the crowds of males, "Leave her be, she will not like nor love you if you make her uncomfortable. If you ever want a chance with a royal one, you must treat them as such. She will never be your mate, especially if you scare and creep her out. You have been given that as an order. If you do not comply, my guards will have your head."

He turned and nodded to Torga then climbed back on his forest dragon, leaving after the Sun King and the other Kings as well. Torga nodded as smiled at watched as the crowds were dispatched by the Forest King's guards. She went back inside and talked to them about how they were going to talk to the Kings. Explaining that the Kings were Ally's and wouldn't hurt Dark and that they had agreed to meet her in a non crowded area.

Dark was unsure but they reassured her that they wouldn't let them do anything to her. Argon lowered his head to Dark, "I trained in that guard camp for years in order to help protect the innocent. You are the princess of the Night Kingdom and I shall not let anything happen to you. Not only that, but your my friend. And nothing can protect them from me if they hurt you in anyway. All you have to do, is call for me."

She smiled some and thanked him for his kindness and will to keep her safe. They got ready and left out, the Kings had ordered their guards to keep the order in the village and not let creeps near her. They walked to the Kings who stood in the middle of the market space, the guards keeping the crowds back and keeping it more or less private.

They stood in front of the Kings who were glad to see her. Dark was nervous as she was quite small compared to them. The Sun King greeted her and asked her if she had found a male yet, to which she hadn't. They seemed a bit glad to hear as they told her that it was traditional for the royal bloods to marry and since she had no male she would be able to meet the Kings oldest sons to see if anyone of them she favored.

Seeing how nervous Dark was, Torga stepped in and spoke for her, "I'm sure as long as they have manners she will give them a chance. However, if you forget to tell them about the law of her ancestors, her people will be allowed to kill your sons if they force her to love them. I don't believe you wish for that.... Do you?"

She tilted an eyebrow, as they agreed that they would inform them of the old law. The group felt a bit relieved to hear their agreement, but they knew their was always a catch. Each King agreed to have guards stationed around the village to protect the folk living there and to protect the princess from creeps on the street.

Soon the Kings left to get their eldest sons for her to choose from. Leaving Dark and the group to wonder what would happen next.
