(Y/n)'s p.o.v
June 1st, 2020. Monday.
"No, I do think the idea of trading beyond the land would be nice." I say to Elementa, the Witch Princess.
"I understand, but who would want to trade with me? My potions aren't needed from what I've seen." She says and I nod as Dark looks around the giant tree.
"Well, you don't know that Elementa. I've seen people where I live use herbs to make their own potions and such."
"You have a point. Oh, I don't know how you can handle being in charge of an entire dimension and everything that involves said dimension. I can barely handle being a princess of one species." She touches her forehead and I smile softly.
"It's hard work but it pays off at the end knowing my people are safe. One of those people being you as well, you may be a princess but you're still one of my people. I did say that if anyone needed help, to come to me, didn't I?" I look at her and she smiles at me with her orange with brown eyes.
"You really are better than them." She whispers and I blink.
"Who?"
"Your mother and grandmother. They never had time for minor meetings like this with princesses. I never got the chance to speak to the since they would naturally meet with higher authorities than me. I think it's because I don't want to get married at this time. I mean come on, I'm 17. I rather just be a queen on my own." She crosses her pale legs, her high heel pointing at me.
"Well, you don't have to get married. Before I was married, everyone called me queen." I look at Dark who is talking to Elementa's big brother, Carnelian. They laugh and Darla runs around with Carnelian's son, Arly.
I smile as Elementa walks past me, her forest green cloak floating behind her. She looks outside and squints. She sighs and lifts her hands suddenly, making the tree castle shake slightly. She sits back in front of me and I look at her.
She waves her hand and makes a heart out of smoke, then splits it in half. I nod in understanding.
"So, when do you plan on having a coronation?" I ask and she looks at her hands.
"That's, also another thing I wanted to talk to you about. I don't have anyone that will take me seriously to give me the title. You're the only highest ranking and that you take me seriously." She pulls her dark green hair up in a ponytail and Aiden tackles me, making me fall on the floor.
"Dark!" I shout and he runs to me, helping me up and carrying Aiden.
"Aiden, why did you do that?" Dark asks and he shoves a letter in Dark's face.
He wiggles away and takes the letter, placing him on the floor and opening it and I sit back up.
"As we were talking, I was going to say that I could do it, well, after all this is cleared up of course." I say and she nods.
"I understand, take your time. Just remember that if you need anything, I'm here as well." She touches my hand and I hold it.
"My Love we have to go." Dark picks up Aiden and Darla, making her pout from playtime with Arly.
"What? Why?" I stand up and he hands me the letter.
While you were gone, I took the time to have some fun and, you know, take your logos. You're next, My Darky ♥️.
~M.M
I growl and crumple up the letter. I hug Elementa and grab Dark's hand, stomping on the ground and falling through the portal. He rubs my arm and Aiden crawls on my head, laying down and kissing my forehead.
"I'm gonna-"
"Not in front the kids you won't. Remember, you have responsibilities first. If they do end up sending the letter for me, I have to go. With the Crystal you have Anti, he must be holding up very well. The logos are strong as well." We land in the foyer.
"If I do end up going, I can't take anything that belongs to you because if you are asked for, which I won't allow of course, but if you are, you won't have anything to protect yourself with." We float around quickly, looking for the logos.
"Dark, you seem to forget the fact that I am a Goddess now, the Crystal is just for extra energy in case. I can summon the shield and everything else that came with it, without it." I rub my face as we stop in the foyer again.
"What do they want from us? I'm so sick of this, how long has this been going on?"
"5 chapters."
I take off my hood and make it disappear. I sigh and he holds me close. I look down and cover my face.
"My Love, you have to be strong, for you and your kingdom. And the kids, you know how we feel about that."
"I know, I know. I can't show my full emotion in front of them, just enough for them to know what it is and means. I know, I'm just scared to what's happening to my family..." I sniffle and everything goes white.
"Don't you dare! You'll get murdered and Dark and I will gladly do that!" Anti...
"She will never be dumb enough to toss the kingdom to you." Brofist...
"You either surrender, or she dies." I don't know...
"My Love, are you okay? You passed out again." Dark holds me and lays me down on the bed. Aiden throws a wet towel at Dark and he catches it before he gets hit in the face. Darla holds my hand as Dark places the towel on my forehead.
I explain what happened in his head and he pulls his hair back. His messenger runs to us and Darla freezes him before he can fall over. We look at her and she holds up her hand for the letter. He looks at Dark and he nods. Hamid hands the letter to Darla and she holds it.
"Can I have the letter?" Dark asks and she looks at it, and starts shaking it. I poke her cheek and she smacks my hand with the letter.
She gives it another shake and a snake falls out of it. She pushes the letter onto Dark's face and picks up the snake.
I take the snake from her and she whines.
I stretch out the snake and see it's poisonous. I make the poison disappear from it and put it down.
"I think we should go to bed." Dark says as he grabs the snake and inspects it.
Darla runs to me and grabs my hand, pulling me up the stairs. I pick her up and Dark floats next to me. I hold his hand and float to our room, Aiden holding onto my head.
We put the babies in the bed between us and get dressed for bed. We lay down and Dark kisses my forehead. I stay awake and reach over him carefully as he sleeps, taking the letter from his nightstand.
You're next, my dear Darky.
