The Prince and The Huntress

Chapter 5:~King and Queen~

Christian walked over to his dead father's stone bed and Adelina walked over to stand by her husband's side. "I did not even get the chance to say goodbye," he said quietly and Adelina hugged her crying husband from behind. Gwydion looked sadly at his friend and Emmett looked towards the now young King and Queen.

A few weeks later after King Henry's funeral, the coronation of Prince Christian, now King Christian the I of Westrose and Chandara. The knights, Gwydion and Emmett smiled when Christian and Adelina entered the hall. Christian wore golden coronation robes and Adelina was dressed in a golden coronation gown with silver and golden details. Adelina smiled towards her husband as Christian knelt before the human priest who lifted up the golden crown with diamond stones. "Christian Eaglewood," the priest began, "Will you solemnly promise and swear... To govern the peoples of Westrose and Chandara, according to their respectful laws and costumes, to help and respect the races and people of Shivanna's realms," "I solemnly swear so to do," Christian said politely. "Will you to your power," The priest continued, "Who's law and justice, mercy, to be executed in all your judgments, to protect and promise to lead your Kingdom in the eyes and laws of Gods," "I will," Christian promised politely. The priest held the crown above Christian's head. "And by the secret law wasted in me," The priest began, "I crown you, Christian Eaglewood, King of Westrose and Chandara," And he placed the golden crown on Christian's head and Christian stood up and turned towards the crowd. "Long Live The King!," the crowd said. Christian smiled softly at Adelina who knelt before him and the priest handed his King the golden Queen crown with diamonds and sapphires. Christian held the Queen Crown in his hands above Adelina's head and looked over the crowd. "By the sacred laws wasted in me," Christian began, and he looked down at Adelina, "I crown you... Adelina," And he placed the crown on her head. "Queen of Westrose and Chandara," he finished. Adelina looked up at him and smiled and Christian looked down at her, smiling, holding out his hands to her. Adelina gently took his hands with hers and Christian helped her up and Adelina walked up to stand in front of him and they leaned into each other and kissed deeply. They broke the kiss and Adelina smiled at her husband and they turned towards the crowd, Christian holding her hand in his. "Long Live The Queen," he pronounced. "Long Live The Queen!," the crowd started chanting loudly.

The castle celebrated the coronation of their King and Queen. Christian and Adelina sat at their long table at their coronation dinner. Christian's knights and the Lords of Westrose sitting all around the long tables in the great dining hall. Christian and Adelina sitting at the table on their thrones. Christian turned to his wife who was drinking a little of her wine. "What is it?," he asked gently. He was more concerned for his wife than about all the thoughts about what his aunt had said about this Dark Witch and her witches and Melinda who had secretly betrayed him and killed their father and joined the dark side to cast this evil curse. Adelina looked at her husband and sighed softly. "I'm just a little bit bored, that's all, my love," she answered, "I think it's time for some entertainment, don't you think, my love?," she asked as Gwydion poured up some wine into hers and Christian's glasses. "I would love to see your dear friend and Court Warlock of Westrose and Chandara perform," she stated and Gwydion looked at her shockingly. "After being a descendant of the most powerful wizards of Shivanna, he must have some tricks of magic," Adelina finished. Christian looked up at Gwydion. "You really think so?," he said doubtingly and he looked at Gwydion. "You heard the Queen," he said, "Jump to it!," Gwydion put down the jug with wine and went down and looked at Christian. "I'm not a fool," he explained. "That's debatable," Christian said and drank a little of his wine while Aries who sat beside his King smiled amusingly. Gwydion looked at Christian. "And I don't want to show The Queen any of my magic skills and make a fool of myself when I am one of the most powerful people in this Kingdom," he explained. Christian put down his glass and turned to his young warlock friend. "I know that," he said, "But we cannot refuse The Queen, can we?," he asked as he gave him a teasingly look as Aries put away the jug Gwydion held. Christian smiled and started clapping and the people in the hall joined him. Adelina showed a hand for him to go up on stage. Gwydion sighed and walked away to stand in front of the people at the long dining tables. Gwydion made a quick glowing with his eyes and took out a couple of eggs and started juggling with them, Christian staring at him in confusion and Gwydion throw an egg into the air before catching it behind his back and the crowd clapped. Gwydion then started juggling again before using his magic, turning the eggs into fire and sparks, making them disappear. The crowd clapped and Gwydion took out a sapphire and used his magic on it, creating a silvery bracelet with three sapphire stones before snapping his fingers and the bracelet ended up around Adelina's right wrist. Adelina gasped in amazement and smiled softly towards Gwydion who then created sparks to fall over the Queen. The crowd stood up clapped and Gwydion bowed. Adelina smiled towards the young warlock. "Thank you, Gwydion. I love it," she said and Elizabeth smiled towards her friend.

Adelina stood at the balcony window doors, dressed in her nightgown, looking out into the night and the bright light full moon and the glittering stars in the sky when Christian made his way over to her and showed up behind her. He gently put his arms around her waist. "Isn't it time to go to bed now?," he said softly and placed a soft kiss on the side of her neck. Adelina turned to him and she didn't have to say anything more before Christian lifted her into his arms and carried her over to their golden white four poster bed with silk white covers. Adelina couldn't hold back the laughter that escaped her. Christian lay down his wife in the middle of the bed before gently hovering over her, kissing her deeply. Adelina moaned softly as he started pulling off her nightgown. She had never been this happy in her entire life. Being with Christian made her feel loved, protected and accepted for who she is. She belonged. They belonged together. Christian let her help taking off his nightshirt and he started kissing her neck. Adelina moaned as he made love to every inch of her body, feeling their love deep into their very souls. She moaned softly as he pushed his member into her wet womanhood and she put her arms around his neck as he slowly started moving inside of her. "I love you," he whispered into her ear against the soft skin of her neck. "I love you too," Adelina whispered softly, moaning softly in pleasure. They both moaned as he released his warm cum into her wet womanhood and Christian kissed her deeply before pulling out of her.

After a warm bath, Christian swept his beautiful wife into his arms before pulling the covers warm silk covers over their naked bodies, laying down in bed and Adelina leaned her head against his soft bare chest, hearing the softness of his breathing and heartbeat. "I will love you forever no matter what happens," she whispered softly to him, "And I will never let you go," Christian looked down at her and smiled. "I love you too," he whispered, "And I will forever love you no matter what happens. No matter what this evil curse takes us, I will always find you,"

Melinda and Cerridwen stood at the old temple place of stone with the other Dark Sorceresses and Cerridwen dropped the last ingredients of the curse onto the symbol in the middle of the stone temple. "Erach eda farmoth," the witches uttered in the darkness language and Cerridwen turned to Melinda. "Now for the last ingredients," she began, "Blood of pure vengeance and blood of pure vengeance and demon blood," She pulled out a knife and cut with it in her hand and dropped a few drops of her blood on the stone ritual symbol before holding out her hand to Melinda. Melinda held out her hand and Cerridwen cut with the knife in her palm before dropping a few drops Melinda's blood onto the stone symbol. Suddenly, the sky started thundering and the Cerridwen's and Melinda's blood run through the stone drain and was mixed together and unleashed a dark and black cloud that thundered loudly. The dark curse had been unleashed and set off and started spreading over Shivanna, consuming the lands and Kingdoms. Melinda looked at Cerridwen who nodded for her to ride to Westrose castle to face her brother and his Queen for the last time before they were taken away to a place where there was no good and evil fighting against each other.

Elissa stood in an empty clearing nearby and she swallowed deeply and looked up towards the sky. "Please father," she whispered before letting herself being consumed by the curse.
