The palace was alive with excitement.
Queen Kendra's grand party was only two hours away.
Josephine sat on the edge of the royal bed, quietly combing little Adris's hair. The golden brush glided through the boy's soft curls as he swung his legs and hummed to himself.
Moments earlier, she and Xavi had a small argument. Nothing too loud, but heavy enough that Josephine had gone silent. Xavi, sitting on the far side of the bed, looked at her with regret.
"Josephine…" he said softly, reaching out his hand.
She didn't look back. Instead, she stood and walked out of the room with quiet grace. The sound of her feets faded into the corridor.
Xavi sighed deeply, rubbing his temples. Then he dressed slowly — a dark red and black royal suit, sharp and intimidating, the colors of his power and mood both. He sat back on the bed, staring at the floor.
Meanwhile, Josephine helped Adris into his nightwear. The little boy was eating a small apple pie, crumbs on his chin.
"Here, Mama," Adris whispered, offering her a spoonful of pie.
She smiled softly, leaned forward, and took a bite. "Thank you, my baby." In her mind
Adris giggled, eyes bright with joy, and she kissed his forehead.
From the corner, Xavi watched silently as Josephine patted their son to sleep. The sight melted the last of his pride.
Just then, Anesthesia entered the room carrying a sparkling crimson gown.
"This is the sexy dress," she said with a grin. "Now… can you wear heels? Let me see."
Josephine slipped on the heels — and waited. Nothing happened.
"It didn't catch fire!" Anesthesia gasped, then clapped excitedly.
She set to work, doing Josephine's hair and makeup — soft waves, shimmering eyeshadow, and a dark cherry-red lip combo that made her beauty glow like fire and moonlight.
When she finished, both sisters looked stunning. They giggled, striking poses before walking out of the room like runway queens.
Anesthesia would be turning twenty-three soon, and Xoni was secretly planning something huge for her.
Downstairs, Xavi leaned against a pillar, his head resting on his twin sister's shoulder.
"You had a small fight, huh?" Xoni teased, patting his chest.
"Hmhm," Xavi murmured, too proud to deny it.
From across the hall, Queen Kendra stood at the podium, commanding everyone's attention. Xavi was trying to distract himself by eating the same apple pie Josephine had baked earlier.
Then — he heard her thoughts.
"X is too prideful sometimes… I swear I wanna just shove my foot up his ass!"
Xavi chuckled quietly to himself, nearly choking on the pie.
But Queen Kendra noticed his smirk. She turned sharply, marched to him, and pinched his ear hard.
"Ow! Grandma!" Xavi yelped.
"You're just like your grandfather and your father — prideful and arrogant when it comes to your wife!" she scolded, swatting the back of his head. "I heard you yelling at Jojo earlier, you foolish king!"
"I'm sorry," Xavi muttered.
"Not to me — to Jojo!" Kendra snapped, arms crossed. "Say it to her."
"Yes, Grandma," he said quickly, rubbing his neck.
"Where is she, anyway?" Xoni asked.
A sudden murmur spread through the hall. Caius stepped forward.
"All hail Queen Josephine!" he announced.
"HAIL!" the crowd echoed.
Xavi turned — and froze.
Josephine entered the grand hall like a goddess reborn.
She wore a dark red off-shoulder mini dress, layered with ruffles that danced with every step. The dress shimmered under the chandeliers — romantic, dramatic, dangerous. Her bandages were still wrapped around her arms and neck, yet she wore them with the grace of royalty.
"Jojo love, come here, sweetie!" Queen Kendra called warmly.
Josephine walked to her, and Kendra clasped her hand, smiling before looking toward Xavi.
"Now, this foolish man here wants to apologize to you, my dear."
Xavi rubbed his neck again, clearly nervous.
"Go on," Kendra urged, elbowing him.
He looked at Josephine and said sincerely, "I'm very sorry, Josephine."
She smiled sweetly, her eyes forgiving. She took his arm, resting her head lightly against it.
"Awww!" Xoni squealed. The crowd laughed softly.
But not everyone smiled — Princess Morana's face was dark with fury. Her mother, Queen Lilura, noticed immediately.
"Don't even think about it," she whispered sharply. "Or I'll behead you myself."
Morana looked down quickly. Lilura was a woman no one crossed.
Later that evening, as music filled the air, Xavi danced with Josephine. Their movements were soft, their eyes locked.
"I want a baby for Xavi… and a little sibling for Adris too,"
Josephine thought silently.
"A baby boy or girl…"
Xavi's face flushed pink — and Kara, who overheard through the link, laughed out loud.
Soon Tess, Noah, Pierre, Raden, Callum, and Nyx joined them. Josephine hugged Tess tightly, the two women laughing. The feast began, laughter echoing through the hall.
Xavi later rested his head on Josephine's shoulder as Kara whispered to him, "We leave in the morning."
He nodded silently.
Then, in the distance, little Adris appeared — sleepy-eyed, holding his teddy bear in one hand, rubbing his face with the other.
Josephine immediately rushed to him. She scooped him up and kissed his cheeks.
"Hi, Mama…" Adris whispered, half-asleep, snuggling into her shoulder.
She brushed her cheek against his and hummed softly until he fell asleep again.
By sunrise, Xavi was helping Josephine prepare for the journey.
"I'll be back by nightfall," he said, adjusting his sword. "I have work with Kara and Oliver."
"No, Xavi. Let Josephine come," Kael said suddenly, stepping forward.
Josephine smiled faintly.
"Fine," Xavi said, lifting her into the carriage beside him.
As the horses moved, Josephine tapped his shoulder and signed with her hands:
"Do you want a baby?"
He grinned, replying softly, "Of course I do, my love. I'm glad you asked."
He pulled her into his lap, and they kissed passionately as the carriage rolled down the road as Josephine kissed him softly and slowly as the carriage was moving Xavi took his strong thick cock and shove it all inside Josephine as she held his body around hers she slowly began to ride his dick Xavi moan softly in her ear s she went extremely hard and fast riding his cock Xavi wasn't in control it was his wife now as she bounced up and down riding him as her eyes rolled back due to the satisfaction of her husband cock as she ride it Xavi pulled her hair up and released his hit warm Sperm after hitting her sweet spot as her legs trembled There we go sweetheart Xavi said kissed her neck while she rubbed his hair.
Elsewhere that morning…
In their chambers, Noah was working in his study when the door creaked open. Tess, dressed in dark green lingerie, leaned against the doorway.
"Yes?" Noah said, looking up.
"Hi," Tess said, stepping closer.
"Need something, my Queen?" he teased.
She smiled slyly. "Yep… a baby."
Noah grinned wide. "Really!?"
Tess winked, pounced on him, and he caught her easily as their laughter filled the room as Noah began kissing her roughly as he placed her on his table he first lock the doors and took off his shirt unbuckle his pants as he speed her legs opened he bend over and began lick and sucking her pussy Tess eyes rolled back as her husband was giving her heads she held him while he was licking her up and down Noah stood up as his mouth was dripping from eating her he push his huge cock inside her Noah!

After three long hours, Xavi and Josephine's carriage arrived at the edge of Eryndor — the Shadow Realm.
Inside the carriage, Xavi buckled his belt, and Josephine fixed her hair after their rather… spirited "wait time."
When they stepped out, she climbed onto his back playfully. Kara snapped her fingers, her outfit shifting into a battle suit — black armor trimmed in silver light.
"Uhm, Xavi… your wife's eyes are glowing," Melantha said nervously.
Josephine's eyes shimmered pink, her smirk dangerous.
"Ready?" she asked Kara.
"Always," Kara replied.
There were nine of them in total as they stepped into the Dark Castle, the air thick with rot and shadow. Evil spirits whispered through the halls.
On the throne sat a man — dark hair, black-and-white eyes.
"Maelkor!" Kara shouted, her voice sharp with fury.
His eyes snapped open.
"Hetragon?" he muttered, shocked. He stood slowly, his aura crackling.
"You bloody bastard!" Kara hissed, stepping forward.
Josephine waved at him politely.
"But… you died," Maelkor said, stunned.
Kara lunged, but he dodged swiftly, rising into the air.
"Why are they fighting?" Xavi asked, scanning the hall. He spotted a red gem glowing in another room — the Bloodveil Obsidian.
He slipped away, reaching for it — but a beast rose from the shadows, drooling and snarling.
Xavi grabbed the gem, twisting aside as claws sliced through the air. Kael and Darius rushed in to help. Together they fought, blades flashing.
Then—
"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH HER!" Maelkor roared, blocking Kara's attack and blasting the floor.
"STOP!" Josephine's voice boomed in her thoughts.
Everything froze. Her eyes glowed blue now as she lifted her hand. Every fighter — Kara, Maelkor, Kael, Darius — fell to their knees, paralyzed.
Maelkor's gaze fell upon Melantha, locking for a moment. Her cheeks flushed.
"You bloody bastard," Kara hissed, trying to move.
Josephine made a hand sign toward her: Keep quiet.
Maelkor's voice broke.
"Listen… I swear, I didn't kill Stella."
"Lies!" Kara screamed. "You used the Bloodveil!"
"No! She killed herself!"
"The fuck you mean!?" Kara spat.
Oliver held her back.
Maelkor's shoulders trembled. "Stella confessed her love for me… but I told her I didn't love her. She became obsessed. She killed my wife. My true love."
The room went still.
Josephine stepped closer, tears in her eyes. She reached out, pressing her glowing fingertips to his forehead.
She saw everything:
His wife, Ella, a forest elf — their marriage, their laughter, their peace. Then Stella's obsession, the blood, the screams, and Ella's lifeless body in his arms.
Josephine withdrew her hand, tears streaking down her face.
"She killed her…" Maelkor whispered. "My Ella."
Josephine nodded sadly.
She released her spell, freeing them all.
"Take it," Maelkor said quietly, collapsing to the floor. "Take the gem. Just… leave me. Please. Don't come back."
Josephine patted his shoulder gently, then pointed toward Melantha with a sly smile.
"What?" Melantha said, frowning.
Josephine only smiled wider.
Maelkor frowned too. "Why are you smiling?"
Then the ground began to tremble.
"Everyone, hold something!" Xoni shouted.
Xavi sat on the floor, watching his wife as her red eyes flared bright.
In seconds, the castle began to rise from the earth, lifted by Josephine's power.
"What is she doing?!" Kael shouted.
The castle floated — and within one minute, Josephine had moved Maelkor's entire fortress through the void and placed it behind Xavi's castle, settling it perfectly into the ground with a massive rumble.
"HI MAMA!!!!!!!" Adris shouted from above, flying joyfully as Josephine raised him higher with her power.
Everyone watched in shock as the earth stilled.
"It's been forty years…" Maelkor whispered, stepping outside. "Forty years since I saw the sky. I hated everything after Ella died. My world turned to darkness. I never left my castle… not once."
He fell to his knees, sobbing.
"I'm very sorry," Kara whispered, hugging him.
Josephine floated nearby, laughing softly as she played with Adris in the sky — spinning him around gently as he squealed with joy.
Later, as twilight fell, Maelkor, Kara, and Xavi began to forge the enchanted chains and the cage — both built from the Bloodveil Obsidian, glowing red under the fading sun.
A cage strong enough… to contain The Queen of Death.
