TOGETHER WE WILL CONQUER THE WORLD (WMMAP)

Chapter Thirty-Four: Sweet Bitter Memory

"You've failed your wife and daughter." Claude scoffed. The Emperor sighed.

"I know but now I have to make sure she won't be in any harms way when I'm gone."

Claude looked at him.

"Rezef will never let her go. Ma-"

"Marriage is the only solution. Any suggestions?"

"Is Cayena alright with it?"

"Yes, she told me so herself that I can choose her husband for her coming-of-age ceremony."

"Well then. From what I saw Raphael Kedrey is the best suitor."

"Cayena said she no longer has any feelings for him."

"Maybe but I've seen their interactions with each other. Kedery has become comfortable around Cayena since she matured."

"Indeed. However any other?"

"... there's very few people I trust to take care of Cayena. Lord Bruce Wayne's sons. Richard Grayson-Wayne. Jason Todd-Wayne. Tim Drake-Wayne. Damian Wayne. However only two of them are of age. Richard already has a fiancé. Jason however."

"Hmm. We'll put him in the list. Anyone else?"

"Lord Anthony Stark. His eldest, Harley Keener-Stark is of age."

"He's known as a genius, correct?"

"Yes. Even though he and Lord Anthony aren't blood, he's as of a genius as him."

"Interesting. And?"

"King Odin's sons. Crown Prince Thor Odinson and Second Prince Loki Odinson."

"Alright. Those four will be enough. We'll let Cayena decide herself."

"Hmm. I'll go check up on Cayena and Arthur. Rest well."

MEANWHILE IN OBELIA...

"OH MY GOD! RAVEN NO!"

"SHIT SHIT SHIT! SUNSET NO!"

"DAD WILL LOCK US UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY!"

"HE'LL FUCKING EAT THE KEY!"

"LILYYYYY!"

"FLEIIIIIIXXX!"

"I MISS ARTHUR!"

"I MISS DAD! GOD HELP US!"

LET US GET BACK...

Arthur felt chills get down his spine, he looked around and Cayena asked him.

"What is it?"

"Err, nothing. I think someone talked about me or something." 

"Oh, alright. Cookies?"

"Is that even a question."

"Of course." With that Arthur inhaled the cookies like a vacuum. Cayena stared at him but didn't say anything, instead she laughed and ruffled his hair. Claude sipped on the tea Cayena brewed and like the taste however he still prefers Lippee tea. The three had walked outside the palace. They were walking inside the capital, shopping was the excuse to get out of the palace however no one dared to say no when Claude was around.

As they were walking in the beautiful capital, Cayena suggested to visit a lake that had beautiful swans and flowers there. They were now walking beside it and Cayena noticed Claude keeping Arthur close by his side and away from the lake. She didn't question it until they were on a boat. Arthur was yawning the whole time so he leaned in to Claude's side and took a nap. Claude protectively placed his arm around Arthur and kept him in place.
