Yuki pov:

I stood at the door of the castle, the breeze of spring whipping my long hair back. King james was arriving today, and king ethari 2 days after. I decided to greet him, test him.

I wore a maid outfit, my mark covered by the color of the dress. My mark was a stag, the beast of my mate. He had an owl on his neck, and he wore it proudly. He told me that to do this, i would have to conceal my aura and hide my proudness, which i disliked.

I took a step towards the stair case that lead to large marble doors. The king was in view, leading a whol parade of humans behind him. He stopped his horse at the steps, flashing me a grin.

"Hey little fae girl. " he said. His mate, who was beside him, smacked his shoulder, then gave me a big smile.

"Whats your name dear?" She asked, sliding off her horse and patting down her knee length dress. The rashes that she probably had pained me to think about it.

"U-uh... yumi," I whispered shyly. Hopefully my act would trick them. "Would you like me to lead you to the dining hall, the king and queen are waiting?" I asked.

"Sure little yumi. Why dont we get our horses in the stables and then we can head inside. Our humans also need to get settled in." His mate replied.

I nodded, stepping down from the steps and walking around the castle. I walked with a little bit of grace, but not to much to show off my power. I stopped when we reached the hundreds of wooden structures.

"Here they are," I smiled. His mate pulled her horse and the kings horse into a stable, the humans doing the same to their horses. "How many humans do you have?" I asked, tilting my head. One hand rested on my stomach unconsciously.

"Uh-oh. We have 24, unless one died." She said, her eyes were on my hand, a small smile on her face.

"According to Sir. Damion and Messenger Jacob you will need 8 humans to share a room. I know it is a stretch, but we have plently of bed here to accomidate their needs. And don't worry you and the kings get a big room and your fae guard is welcomed to sleep in any of the room with the other guards here or with your humans." I said. The queen of the moon court smiled, grabbing my face gently and kissing my cheek.

"How far along are you?" She asked. Blush filled my cheeks.

"U-uh. 3 weeks." I whispered. She chuckled, wrapping her arms around me in a tight hug.

"Congrats."

"Oh, thank you so much!" I said quickly. She pulled away with a huge smile.

"Okay Yuki," my heart sped up. She knew, shitaka mushrooms.

"I am so sorry for fooling you. I was simply testing your company and treatment to our maid staff here. Mary will be trading places with me any moment." I said, my posture changed, my aura returning. James was surprised, but the queen was not.

"I am Mira, by the way." The queen commented. I dipped my head to her.

"Nice to meet you my fellow queen." Mary was already scurrying toward us, a peeled apple on a plate with icing drizzled over it. I quickly grabbed it, eating it with a soft sigh. "Thank you mary."

"Interesting combination you have there," Mira commented. "When I was pregnant with my son, harbor, I craved beetroot and chocolate, weird right?" She asked. I nodded, laughing a little before taking a bite.

"Oh, this is mary, the real palace maid cheif, or just the cheif of maids." I waved a hand at mary with a smile. Mira and James nodded thoughtfully.

"I will take you all to your rooms now," mary bowed to the two, than waves as she entered the hall. I waved in return, but instead turned back around and walked to the front of the castle.

"What do you think?" Damion asked. He was sitting on the marble stairs as I approached.

"Good. The queen is quiet observant, but the kings seems easily distracted." I explained. He nodded.

"That makes a lot of sense," his knees cracked a little as he stood up. How long has he been sitting?

"I agree. How long have you been waiting?" I asked as I followed him into the castle. He shrugged, twisting his finger in his ear.

"When you left I sat down. Gabriel was very clear on his directions that if you did not return safely I was to go after you. I would have, even if he had not asked me. You are going to have his child afterall."
