" I wish you would see your people more it helps morale for them to see you my queen ." Standing in front of Elise the former king of the dragons made his concerns know
" i understand but I have a lot of responsibilities that require im here most of the time,its like im neglecting them, I fixed your supply issues, started a breeding program and opened teleporting between our landfor me to do these things means I have to spend my time here."
" i understand my queen i just ask you dont forget about your people."
" i won't they are at the top my priorities." Bowing he turned around an left the building " you see what i have to deal with,an with no help from you to now you are telling your leaving again."
" this will be the last time, I just need one more item and I'll be done." Sitting next to her I tried defending myself.
Rolling her eyes she leaned away before coming closer " then how have your dates been going?" I looked at her clueless about what she was talking about
" alaine!, you have been spending time with everyday for the past two weeks." That's when what she was talking about finally struck me
" O, im not going on dates im helping her get her business started until i got some people to help her and now that I have im leaving that's i."
" mhmm then why has a little birdie been telling me something a bit different." She was looking at me with this smug expression
Getting up I tried hiding the red on my face as I approached " clearly it was slander you cant believe everything you hear...hey would you look at the time I should go my ships going to depart soon."
"Love you." After kissing her i teleported away to the docks
" how am I suppose to tell her alaine's endless chase was started to work on me when even i don want to admit it myself?."
" that's out of my expertise my lord all i can say is follow your heart." I Sighed knowing zauto was correct but I still wished for a deeper opinion
Moving forward I let the salty sea air and the crashing of waves take my worries away
at least for a moment " wait!" Hearing alaine yelling i opened my eyes stopping in my tracks letting her catch up
" yes?"
Turning around I came face to face with alaine as she caught her breath placing a tall box between us
" i wanted to deliver this, after having my cooking for so long I thought you would appreciate this it even enchanted with life element to keep it from spoiling an fresh, i just bought it with the earnings I have made."
The scent of her home cooking assaulted my nose as soon as I opened the box, their were two stories to the box each filled with plates of food secured and covered ready for transport
" and i wanted to say goodbye an wish ." fidgeting with her hands behind her back she wouldn't look me in the eye the slight red on her cheek made her real intentions obvious
' this woman really never gives up.' Over the time we have been spending together she has never given up trying to be with me despite many people asking, doing this has made rumors spread that she was my mistress so now they just avoid her as to not anger me
And part of me couldn't deny that my wall was starting to crumble, tapping the box i made levitate beside before leaning closer to alaine " we can discuss our relationship when I get back but-."
" but what!" I could see the stars in her eyes as she was barley able to contain herself
" you have to be with someone when I get back."
" what!, how is th-" I held up a finger before she could go off on me
" like I've said many times you don't know the real me...but that doesn't mean I can't show an i can't make excuses anymore... i am falling for,so this will serve as a test for both of us, now im not asking you to sleep with anyone but if fo ask you at least take it seriously like we had a falling out or something."
" fine." Her voice entered my ears barley louder than the wind when I was suddenly struck across the face by a hand
Before I recovered i was pulled down into a kiss then pushed away " you fucking bastard you just use me an now you want to throw me out like im nothing, dont ever come near me again!"
She was loud enough to draw everyone attention to us, I understood she was doing this to dispel the rumors going around but I wasn't sure if this was the best way to go about
Faking her anger' at least i hoped.' She stormed off back the way she came
" could have been a little less dramatic, but I guess it worked." At least judging by how quickly everyone in the crowds pretended that what just took place didn't happen while quietly whispering to each other
Heavily sighing i continued to the docks now with a box of food following behind as I did the Screeching of seagull like birds got louder.
Steping onto the wooden dock i dodged workers moving supplies for their merchant overlords of course the dock were just as busy as the roads if not more so since this was the main way people brought their goods
This meant we had to build a place large enough for all these ships to stay which is why it took me a few minutes to get to a section of the dock that was exclusive for our ships
Coming to a stop in front of a plank leading to a larger ship with a bird spreading its wings as a figure head i climbed on board feeling a bit wistful about leaving, behind zauto was doing the same
" what was that about?" All around the deck the crew of the ship were lazily relaxing sitting on barrels or covering their faces with cloth as they laid down after having moved their supplies on board not barley a few minutes earlier
However it wasn't any of them speaking, it was their dashing blond haired captain wearing pure white hodded assassin's robes with the hood down standing proudly near the wheel
It took me a moment to get what he was talking about " O that its nothing she is just a friend."
" if that's the case I think we need to rethink relationship better if we're just co-workers" as he was saying this he gave me a weird look
My mouth hung open as I stared at him
" ... wow, im not even going to dignify that with a response just start the damn ship." Unleashing a laugh Edward grabbed the ships wheel
" its not a car your majesty." Turning from me he looked at his crew " you know what to do men release the sails let's get this girl on the open seas!"
His voice washed over everyone causing a explosion of movement to occur as people rushed about unraveling ropes, pulling up the anchor and letting the main sails down
Slowly but surely the the waves were cut by the ships hull as we began our travels, would have flew on icarus but I felt better know she would be watching over everything considering all the attacks recently
As the view of of the town got further away I could help but admire how far we have come from a run down town, to the heart of a kingdom ' it really is a beautiful sight...i guess its not so much a town anymore.'
Lost in the sight of the forming opal city getting further away a web suddenly hit my shoulder an soon after a little spider with the markings of a orca landed the there" hey te'let what are you doing here."
" travel...see, fun." I nodded getting the drift of what she was saying
" ok you can come just don't get yourself in trouble."at that moment two sailor came running up from below deck screaming like a couple of kids
"What in the hells got into you two"
Looking at Edward fear was clearly written on there faces " t-there is something in one of the supply crates
" yeah we heard it talk its possessed!" The other one spoke up once his colleague was
Edward just stared at them stunned by there stupidity he wasn't alone either everyone was doing the same
" fools it probably some stowaways bring the crate up here, the rest of you draw your weapons and be ready for anything."
"Aye aye captain!" The crew swiftly moved to follow his order while those on the deck drew their cutlass and flintlock from the scabbards and holsters that held them the,two frightened crew mates brought the crate up tipping it over before quickly moving away
What came out left us all shocked
Because out on the deck four kids were thrown out onto the deck " hi papa." Emily,frida,Shane and Salem's brother looked nervously around them
