" So, what do you both think?"
I asked Sarah and Anna what their impressions of the Royal Family were. Of course, I didn't ask this in front of the Royal Family. After being led to the living quarters of the Royal Palace, the Royal Family returned to their dwellings and a maid was asked to lead us to our guest room... Well, room is selling it short. It wasn't as big as the mansion we currently live in, but it was much bigger than what would be seen as a normal room. The room had a 2nd floor for instance. The first floor had a kitchen, a bathroom, a dining room and a living room to relax in. The 2nd floor had a master bedroom and 2 other regular bedrooms and a bathroom. The walls and ceiling all had intricate carvings in it that seemed to show the Gods the Dark Elves worshipped blessing the Shadow Forest. Seeing the attention to detail in the carvings, I wondered what the Royal Dwellings looked like... Now that I think about it, I never saw what the Royal Dwellings in Blackstone looked like. Maybe it can't be shown to an outsider? Though I did see Sarah's bedroom and Warrick's office. During my thoughts, we sat around the coffee table. I noticed that we were finally alone for the first time since arriving in Darkheim, so I decided to get Sarah and Anna's thoughts on our " hosts".
" It's hard to say just based on the few hours we spent with them."
Sarah spoke as she looked around at the muted browns of the walls made from the tree and the muted greens from the curtains and furniture that were obviously placed in the room after making the room. Her answer was something I expected, granted I already had somewhat of an opinion on all 5 of the current Royals we were dealing with.
" From what I saw of them all, I think Prince Delcan and Queen Crystal seem to have positive feelings towards us, your secret coming out seemed to increase those feelings and moved them from thinking it would be difficult to befriend you to being something that could realistically be done."
" That might be the 1 silver lining from exposing all of that."
" Well, there's also the fact that you admitted how happy we make you."
Anna tried to tease me.
" I would think that much is obvious, I can't remember the last time I smiled as much as when I'm with you both. I never want to be away from my wives from now on."
" Do you hear that, Anna? He's basically admitting he could never leave us now! He's basically our prisoner!"
Sarah seemed very happy to hear my words. It is funny to me how she acts like this but is so weak in other matters... No, no, I shouldn't think of sex until we get back home. I looked at the ceiling to try and think of something else and calm down. While doing so, after Sarah was done celebrating that I love my wives, Anna continued her thoughts.
" The King seems to be a loose cannon, but I'm not sure if he is a bad person. Maybe just a bit... Over reactive maybe?"
" He nearly caused an international incident because he misrepresented my words in his mind. Or do either of you think what I said could've been bad?"
" Did you look at him weirdly when you asked about "keeping it to yourself", My Love?"
" No, I don't think so?"
" My eyes didn't catch anything weird about his expression either. I do honestly think the King just misread Darling's words."
To Sarah's question, Anna and I both gave our answers, the reason for the King snapping had to be due to some kind of a misreading of my words, it's the only thing that makes sense.
" Maybe it was due to my being a Human as well as a Marquess for Diablos?"
" Even if it was the case that it was because you were a Human, it doesn't make sense why he would hold being a member of Diablos Nobility against you, My Love?"
