Obsidian went back for Samira the carriage was empty. Baby? Baby?!

Samira was ten feet away in the woods Cypher had her pinned against a tree with a blade to her throat. I'll visit your bed chamber tonight at three a.m you will see me alone or I'll kill your father in his sleep nod your head yes if you agree.

She nodded yes you look sensational baby he moved his hand kissing her Samira slapped Cypher's cheek staring in his eyes her anger a blaze. Cypher smiled.

When she blinked he was gone. Samira fixed her dress I'm here daddy. What happened? I was afraid baby.  A shadow wanted to kiss me that's all. They are lady lovers aren't they? Yes dad how do you like Cassia so far?

She's beautiful baby let's hope her personality matches the outside. Oh it does wait and see.

Samira had her hand on top of Obsidian's she was trembling it's okay baby it's just Ahmad he smiled reassuringly. They were announced and Obsidian walked Samira in the castles grand ball room filled with 500 Etharkian dignitaries and resident's.

Obsidian stood in front of Ahmad as the younger girls inhaled at the beauty of their Queen and future King. For you the breath taken crowd chuckled as Obsidian placed Samira's hand inside of Ahmad's.

Obsidian cued the band for their first dance Samira reminded herself to princess smile and wave as her Noni taught her.

Samira danced and nervously twirled but perfectly she curtsied and Ahmad bowed every one clapped joining them on the dance floor.

Shahid wasted no time cutting in as this was expected Ahmad knew people would cut in on them the whole night. Obsidian reminded him to mind his manners and his Firestone temper.

Samira danced with Shahid through a fake plastic princess smile and white clinched teeth.

Shahid Cypher is here. Cypher tried to move from her, Samira squeezed his hand's before anyone noticed he was attempting to end the dance abruptly. Don't I don't think he is alone Sha. He said of I tell he will kill Obsidian. He ain't doing nothing Samira. Shahid stand down alert the guardsmen to be on point to accompany the king everywhere including the rest room.

When the dance ends call the shadows and send tbem to guard every castle 20 each on the roof...quiet yes?

What do you like about what I'm wearing Samira? The jacket. Shahid smiled on loan from Jakar said he wore it to Lividia's coming out party.

I love it honey she rubbed her gloved hand on his shoulder. The dance ended Ahmad came for Samira.

Shahid exited quietly to carry out her commands.

Samira tried to forget about Cypher she drang and sang dancing her night away.

It was time for Ahmad to present her engagement ring and ask her to marry him...again..and again but this time formally.

He tapped a champagne flute with a butter knife grabbing everyone's attention. Everyone began to laugh Samira couldn't figure why she looked behind her Hunter was staring in the ceiling to floor triple windows behind her.

SHAKNEE! LABANEIER LAKEEK! The resident's of Etharkia laughed when he pushed his tongue at her flying away upset. 

He never listens. You brought it on yourself Ahmad said everyone laughing at his chastisement if her spoiling Hunter refusing to listen to his direction of raising a dragon.

She tapped him giggling he tried to warn me. Listen to your husband a law guardian yelled out Samira kissed Ahmad.

She sat on her throne next to her father while he stared at Cassia. King Obsidian Ahmad called to him from the middle of the dance floor.
