Estria's War

Chapter 8: Dinner

King Frindel and his family sat around the dinner table, with Queen Majikku set next to his wife Queen Delissa, who was very happy to see her.
"We've missed you here Majikku. It's so nice to see you again, you don't visit often enough." Delissa said in a friendly tone.
"I know I've missed you and the girls." Majikku replied.
"Speaking of girls, rumor has it that your daughter is home. Is it true?" The little Queen asked hopefully.
"Yes it is, and she brought her suitor."
"Oh dear...that must have been a shock,but at least she's home. I trust you had the talk with her to prevent any..." Delissa coughed suggestingly.
"Yes I did, but apparently her teachers in the other realm beat me to it."
"They teach that in school there? My goodness now I'm wondering why you chose that realm to send her away." 
"Mama why did Aunty Majikku send her baby away? Didn't she want her?" Kimu chimed in.
"Of course she did dear. It hurt Aunty Majikku so much to send her away,but she had to ,to make sure that she was safe. It was not a nice time then over Estria." Delissa replied.
Kimu looked at her adopted aunt got out of her chair and hugged her.
"It's ok Aunty Majikku, she's home now." She looked up at her aunt reassuringly.
"Yes she is Kimu, and she is going to stay here this time. I'm never sending her away again." She smiled at the little princess.
"When can we meet her?" The little girl asked eagerly.
"Soon I hope. She's babysitting the kingdom while I'm away." Majikku explained.
"Ok." Kimu smiled and got back into her chair and continued eating her roast duck.
"Aunty Majikku,is it true that you burned an entire nergoth army with your magic?" Laila asked.
"LAILA!" Delissa exclaimed.
"It's alright Delissa." She said reassuring the little Queen. She turned toward Laila and replied, "Yes Laila I did, I was very angry at the time though, and it was an awful thing to do,no matter how necessary it was."
"I know Aunty, it's just I was studying the Estarian war in history class and they said after uncle Drinith...you know... That you burned the monsters that did it, I didn't believe it though because you're always so nice and I wanted to make sure the record was straight."  Laila explained.
"I'm glad you came to me first and didn't jump to conclusions. That is a good habit to have." The Queen replied.
"Enough talk of war lets eat and talk of good things. This world has seen and heard enough wars." The King said seriously.
"I agree." Queen Delissa said promptly.

Dinner went on much like that until after dessert,then they all retired for the evening.
