"Isn't this something you always wanted." Elise and I were in a room of the castle late at night after the bomb that was dropped earlier
" yes but it was suppose to be just a childhood dream not become reality what am I going to and what about you do you even what this you will become a real king this time not just some title our people gave you there is more to thus then you think."
" Elise I stand with you no matter what if you become queen ill be your king, I won't enjoy have more responsibility but I can take on my role if it means helping you fulfill your dream."
The worried look on her face deepened " I just don't know my love there is a lot to think about." Silently move lower on the bed I moved over pulling her panties down an spreading her legs
"While you think about that up there I'm gonna enjoy what's down here."
" my love not right-mhmmmm~" she protest but cut herself off with her own moan " just relax and let me take care of my wonderful wife." Closing her eyes she didn't try to discourage me anymore and let me devour her until we both had our fill
.
.
.
Slowly coming to I felt my body getting lightly probed " hhmmm what are you doing?" Elise stopped her pocking me
" sorry I was just making sure you weren't hurt." Sitting up still groggy I grabbed her pulling my wife close and laid back down
" please Elise stop doing this." I felt her gently run her hand across the scar from her bite " I can't you heard her about how deadly this situation is I shouldn't have stayed with you last night but I didn't want to fight about it again"
We stayed in each others embrace until a know came from the door " my lord and lady breakfast is ready a servant is here to take us to the dining hall."
" ok we will be out in a few minutes." Elise answered zauto before rolling out of bed pulling me with her" ughhh." I groaned not wanting to get up yet but unfortunately I didn't have a choice
Outside zauto stood waiting for us beside him was a young woman with red scales covering parts of her body but she didn't have wings
Nothing looking up from the floor she waved for us to follow as she started down the hall, before I could follow someone lightly tugged on my leg
" up." Looking down I say ta'lat with her frontal legs in the air wanting me to pick her up but I was still hesitating
' my love just do it you killed her mother an took her the least you can do is take care of her now...unless you plan to kill her.' I would be lying if I said the thought didn't cross my
But looking at the giant ethereal spider standing over the little one I couldn't bring myself to hurt her this child did nothing to deserve my wrath in fact i have deserve hers
instead she is relying on me to take care of her The Least i can do is try like Elise said
Mentally Sighing regretting I didn't just leave the spider putting on a smile I leaned down allowing her to climb my arm and cling to my body " did you sleep well little one?"
" yes bird safe, friendly. " I had icarus take her since I still wasn't ready to deal with her last night but Elise convinced her to be with icarus
" yeah she has been a wonderful friend and companion." I rubbed the top of her head before following Elise and the wingless servant
" I know but we can't ju-ahh good morning please sit we prepare a variety of things for you."the dragon king was talking with his wife but stopped seeing us enter
After sitting down I stopped one of the servers from putting meat on Elise's plate " she doesn't eat meat just veggies, fruits and nuts,."
Everyone except for us gave her strange looks " is this true."
" yes a good chunk of elves only eat these things believing it to be our way my parents raised me the same way I never had a reason to change so I haven't."
" My apologies then I will have some food brought for you right away. " turning to the servant next to him he said a couple things to them before they left the hall in a hurry
"Thank you for your hospitality." I fed a little piece of meat to ta'lat while I waited for Elise food seeing how she liked it
" mmm, good, more." Slightly bouncing her body up and down she asked for more and I was happy to obliged I didn't want her to starve I had no way of knowing when last she at or even how much I should feed her so I just did what felt right as I always do
Eventually a plates of beautiful arranged fruits and vegetables ironically most of the food given was from our farms
It only went to show how desperate their situation was
With Elise's food her I started eating looking at the other inhabited of the table their was the dragon king ,his wife and the old lady from yesterday
That wasn't all the dragon king's son was at the opposite side if the table but he was alone a similar looking boy was next to him eating an next to him was a female who looked like both of them
' so I was right, this scumbag' feeling my gaze he stared back contempt filling his eyes " what!"
" I couldn't help but notice you tried to take my wife when you already seem to have one that you share a child with."
" my love don't." I heard Elise beside me speak up
" I know...I'm trying." I said this through gritted teeth, my leg started bouncing out of my control transferring some of the anger I was feeling to the floor causing it to shake
" what exactly do you think you can do to stop me huh, let me make one thing clear I'm not stuck in here with you, your stuck I'm here wit-" I was suddenly frozen in a block of ice cutting off what I was saying to the guard behind me who had death grip on his weapon
" I apologize for my husbands outburst he struggles with controlling his emotions at times. She bowed towards the others in the room
" no...please it was my fault I should have kept a tighter leash on my son this wouldn't have happened if I did." At this point I have cooled of quite literally and the cold was now becoming uncomfortable luckily it was already melting
" better." Elise asked after everything melted away my clothes weren't wet thanks to her sucking the moisture away from them
" yes thank you my love." Turning around I apologized to the guard then turned my attention back to the food in front of me not looking over at the prince not wanting to get angry again
It wasn't until the we were all almost finished did the old lady speak she had been eyeing Elise this entire time " have you had time to digest what was said yesterday."
Finishing a pink fruit that had the same flesh as an orange Elise took the nearby napkin to clean her face with before speaking
" unfortunately i will hav-."
" yes she accepts your offer of royalty." It was my turn to interrupt Elise ' what do you think you are doing!'
Her shouting voice entered my head the strength of it caused my ears to ring ' ow that hurt and I told you last night I'm letting let go of your dream because of me.'
' it's not just that there is more to it.'
' I know that Elise your worried about us growing to fast well boom now we have more room for people and tons of space to for more aquaculture with the techniques I know and with the help of water and life elements we can turn this desert into a fertile grassland.
I explained my reasoning to Elise hoping she would see what I could ' honestly I don't think you looking at this clearly Elise the gains we get from this vastly out ways the bad I know it will be at lot more work but you won't be the only one you know that.'
Elise sighed I already know the real reason she is adverse to accept was the work that came with it that was something she was taught to do from a young age
The real fear came from being on the precipice of being able to achieve ones dream no matter how small or childish and I wasn't about to let her turn away from it only for her to regret it later like so many before her
" you swear to stay by my side every step of the way ."
" of course my love as I always have." With my confirmation she nodded " ok."
The old lady practically jumped out of her seat to Elise to drag her away " come, come we have much to do the ceremony will be held later tody
' well that was quick. ' I was stunned at their quickness to set everything up ' were they already preparing for us accepting.'
I didn't get much time for that though to linger because the king came over to me asking for me to follow him
