"W-wha- what are you doing Sophie?" asked Markl shyly watching her grabbing things around with Loon in her hands.
"Hold it." She gave him little Loona almost aggressively which made the little baby laugh. Markl looked nervously from Sophie to Loona in his arms. "Umm. Hi little Loony.""That...ugh that old woman can't just leave us alone! We did nothing to her! And even when my daughter has birthday she has to ruin it everytime!" murmed Sophie to herself while putting some money in her purse. She looked at Markl bravely. "Let's go."
"What? Where are we going?? What about Loona? Sophieee!" she already went outside.
"TAKE HER WITH US!" heard Markl and decided that it will be better to listen to this scary lady.
But Loona seemed pretty okay. She was laughing and playing with Markl's messy hairs while both Sophie and him almost ran to the palace. Markl tried to ask Sophie again what is happening.
"We, my dear Markl, are going for my husband. " smiled Sophie like it was nothing.
"B-b-b- but Sophie! You can't do any spells and Calcifer went whoever knows where...and Im surely not wizard like a Sullimann!" worried Markl. Sophie stopped for a second, gave Markl quick forehead kiss and grabbed Loona by herself giving her purse to Markl. "Now let's go"
☀️☀️☀️They stopped in front of the huge stairs to Pallace where King and Madame Sullimann lived. "Scared?" Sophie looked at Markl.
"Mmm....mhm?" nodded Markl and grabbed Sophie's hand. They started walking up.When they were probably halfway there, guardians wanted to stop them. Sophie stopped walking and Markl hid behind her skirt. "What are you doing here?! You can't go in!" Said Guard probably louder than needed.
He reached for Sophie's hand but as he was two steps away from her a blue lightning appeared and made a circle around them. Sophie and Markl were surprisingly looking around them stuck in the circle. She grabbed Markl's hand even tighter and moved a step forward - the circle moving with them. "What...?" she breathed.Meanwhile guardians started to focus again and two of them tried to catch them again. But once they touched the blue light circle they fell in pain like it would burn them. Nobody understand what's going on. "AAAA SHE'S A WITCH! THAT CIRCLE! IT'S PROTECTING THEM!" shouted hurt guard and suddenly- they all heard Loona's cute baby laughter.
"Sophie! It's Loona! She'sprotecting us. She's a witch like Howl said! She did it! She saved us!" Markl was laughing around making crazy faces to all the guardians. Sophie couldn't believe it. She wasn't doing it and neither did Markl. It must have been her daughter. Once she woke up from her shock she kissed Loona quickly and grabbed Markl. "Don't let go" she smiled at him not knowing If the spell would work once he won't hold her hand. Markl nodded proudly and they started continuing in stairs. Leaving shocked guardians behind them. And new ones scared in front of them. "NOBODY MOVE CLOSE TO THEM IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
DIE!!" shouted hurt guard again and stepped up behind Sophie in safe distance.
☀️☀️☀️They all went indise by the front door to this big shining hall, guardians in their back distancing safely behind. At the end of the hall there was a throne, where - as Markl assumed - sat this tall man who must have been King. And next to him there she was. She looked pretty scary. In her robe on this little throne thing. Madame Sullimann. But Markl knew very well that nobody could look more scary then Sophie now.
"I-I-I- I'm so sorry sir. I wanted to stop them but look at that child! She did this. And when I moved closer she even-"
"ENOUGH" shouted King before the guard could finish talking "now Madame, I assume this is what you wanted? I better not regret it" frowned King to the lady sitting next to him. Sullimann nodded and turned to Sophie. Markl hid behind her dress but Loona seemed so distracted by the shinning lights everywhere that she didn't even seem to notice anyone. "Well well, what a beautiful baby. I guess we all really look like our fathers after all, what do you think Sophie?" said Sullimann and gave her this spitful smile. "Where. Is. My. Husband." said Sophie instead of answering her question. The witch laughed.
"Oh darling, you have changed. Where is that shy girl all scared holding Howl's hand? Anyway...this can be really quick If you want. I see your pretty girl right here. And as I expected she is a witch. But there is this thing that you probably had no idea about. She is born from wizard and wizards don't usually fall in love. However, Howl did. And I suspect you must've been witch in some kind of way either I can't really understand it. But this thing really bothers me, you know? Your daughter is...born out of true love. A wizard love. And that kinda makes her - too powerful." She seemed to continue but Sophie apparentally didn't care. Sophie asked her what is that she wants then.
"I'd be much more happy If you could show me some respect. Now let me finish. I have this kind offer to you and your family. Your daughter will be dangerous If she won't learn how to control her power. And here I come." smiled Sullimann and pulled out some paper " this my dear, is some contract - yeah. All you have to do is sign it and I will let Howl go immediately BUT you have to promise me that you will bring Loona here to be my apprentice when she will be six. And all your troubles with magic will fade away. I'll make sure about it child and-"
"I don't owe you a thing! Seriously? First you go after my husband and now you want my daughter? Who will be next? Markl? Me?! I know damn well that you can't do anything with your magic when Loona's with me." Sophie's cheeks were burning with anger as she turned to King " and you? What are you doing? I'm just a young mother that wants to live peacefully with her family. I want to raise my daughter with my husband and her brother. I don't want your stupid magic wars. What would this witch be without your money? You know she's not that strong. And do you even know who am I? Does she even told you anything? I'm from your kingdom. You're supposed to help your people not steal their husbands and children!" Sophie was almost yelling passionately at her King. Everyone in the room was scared of her. This little girl came here, holding her baby and another child that could even be her brother and she was bravely yelling at King of this whole land. Her eyes were full of anger and love and passion. Once as King healed from his shock that this woman caused, he closely looked at her. He was almost about to say something when...
"Sir you can't let her speak to you like that!" -"she's right..." murmed King. "What?" the old witch couldn't believe his words. "I SAID SHE'S RIGHT! I'm the King of this land. Not you! You're saying it will be good for us to have this little baby under control but It's only good for you. Because you're jelaous! I don't care If for the power that the child has and you don't or the love they have and you don't - or I don't! Now bring here the poor wizard. He didn't do anything to us and neither did this girl and her kids. The problem here is your selfishness Sullimann! So you either change that contract to not bothering this family ever again or you'll leave...and you know you can't leave. Because that wizard should be free by now on his way here to his daughter and I don't think we want to see what they can do together am I right?" Madamme just sat there not being able to say a word. She was offended as never in her life but the King let her faced the reality too much to be able fight againts him right now. So she agreed...
And that was it right? Because Howl came, tenderly kissed Sophie, tightly hugged Markl and carried his daughter and his family to the moving castle. And they lived. They lived peacefully like a normal family. Well...not really normal. But what can you expect from dramaqueen Wizard, stubborn young woman, boy almost in puberty, some weirdly powerful baby and fire demon talking to a quiet dog. But were they happy? Yeah...they definitely were.<3
