-Elunara POV-

I was sitting in my throne room as Taurion and
Jen my royal advisors pestered me with the same suggestion as the week before. "She had been married to you for 3 weeks now your majesty I think it is high time you bed her" I pinched the bridge of my nose "Taurion..." I said with a sigh of annoyance "he's right your majesty would be in yours and her best interests, word of your marriage allegiance with the kingdom of Drakonia has spread fast and far and there's a lot of people who are angry with you for marrying a human who also happens to be from the enemy kingdom" said Jen. I rolled my eyes "And bedding my wife would make them happy?" I asked twisting my face "Well....no but I believe people would be a little less angry if they knew an heir was on the way give people something to look forward to since you denied them a wedding" she said taking a jab at me about my decision to not have a grand wedding.

"She is not interested and being bedded by me at the moment" I said with a sigh both Jen and Taurion looked at each other "What?" I asked confused at the looks on their faces, "Forgive me if this is too forward but I must ask, did you never visit pleasure bars when you came of age your majesty?" Asked Jen.

I felt my face heat up, "What?" I said in shock "The young princes both did it" said Jen "I was not a prince, I was a princess no honorable princess would do such a thing" I said she chuckled at the embarrassment on my face but I didn't find it funny.

"So in other words you are a virgin?" She asked "What!?, No of course not, just because I'm refusing to bed my wife until she wants me doesn't mean I don't know how, I may not have had filthy pleasure bar whores like my brothers did, but I've been with women before just never a man" I explained.

Taurion clears his throat uncontrollably "Yes you are right your grace forgive us we weren't trying to suggest that you are inexperienced" he said as Jen continued to chuckle.

I rolled my eyes she was enjoying this a little too much.

I sighed, they were right though.

It would be easier if she was pregnant with an heir, then she wouldn't be in as much danger.

My people hate the kingdom of Drakonia but they respect tradition.

But before I make this decision I need to know something for sure. "Did you have her blood looked over like I asked?" I asked Jen.

"I did" said Jen.

"And?" I asked

"And she's only 10% human, that's not even half, there's 3 parties involved in her blood, A and B are her parents the inhuman blood then there's C which is the 10% human and most likely inherited from one her grandparents" Jen explained.

"So she's more of us than she is them?" I said in shock

"She is, 3 people in her bloodline were inhuman, her mother, her father and one of her grandparents" said Jen

"That is impossible, that would mean one of her parents are half human half us" said Taurion.

"Yes, but which parent and are they still alive is the question" I rubbed my chin in a thinking manner before looking up at Jen.
