A half a cycle later, Christopher was finally able to roam except without a weapon. I think it is best when one makes a mistake like that, we should take away their weapon for a cycle. Talyah's idea has been working well, crime has gone down in the dark. Her idea has been working so well that I recommended it to my brother who has been implementing it with his angels.

I was relaxing on my throne with Stella messaging my shoulders. Until she said softly, "Dear, I'm sure I know your answer, but I need to know. Are you ever planning to wed with me or are you just gonna be with that angel. I would understand if you chose her, I have betrayed you and she is the only soul besides your brother who could ever strike you."

"Stella, are you implying that I should be with an angel?" I joked, "As hilarious as it would be to see Christopher's face if that happened. I do not know if I need a queen at this moment."

"My lord I am only saying that she is more worthy of you than I." she reassured, "I may still lust after you, I always will. She can tear down crime in your kingdom and win over your citizens and children. You've seen how she and Clara talk together."

"Yes, I've seen." I claimed, "I'm merely amazed YOU would be okay with it."

She stopped messaging and embraced me. She whispered, "I want you to have all you need, and you need a queen like her to help you rule. Not to mention to help with that temper of yours."

As she was wrapped around me, a voice called from the door, "I'm not interrupting, am I?"

We both were startled by Clara walking in. Stella quickly let go and sat by my side.

"No Clara, what is it?" I asked.

Clara glared at stella and claimed, "I for once, agree with the harlot. Father Talyah wou-"

I raised my hand, laughing. I waited until I caught my breath before I said, "I would prefer if you two would not make these decisions for me. For one, what do you think happens when two souls are wed?" they both shrugged, "Both souls are brought together and bound as one whilst in two spirits."

"So, she would become invincible then?" Stella asked.

"I don't know." I stated, "I only fear the worst would happen if it's even possible for a soul to bond to a god. She could be erased by my pure power of destruction."

Clara laughed, "Father, you care for her. The bonding may have already started, you need not fear. I wish I could find someone to feel for me as she has in you."

"Draconis, you need not worry." Stella comforted, "I know she has a strong soul and a great will. I mean, look at what she's done. She has faced you twice, tamed your kingdom and impressed the whole royal family. I know you will bond with her fine."

Clara chimed in, "If you need further confirmation, ask Satani. See if he would accept her, if not then don't do anything. Should Satani accept her, I bid you wed her by next cycle."

"Fine!" I claimed, "I will talk with Satani if it will get you two off my back." I waved my hand to disperse them, and they left.

I went down to my son's cell. As I got there, I could tell he was better. His flames reached out and the heat was equal to the burning rage of when I put him here.

"Satani, I want to talk." I proclaimed.

Satani looked up at me and spoke, "Well this is a different greeting. What is it?"
