Let's have some fun!

The banquet to bid the ambassadors farewell was fast approaching and everyone in and out of the Water Palace became busy. Servants were moving to and fro while the mythical creatures in the city were starting to decorate the streets with colorful wreaths and lively stalls. More importantly, the security throughout the realm was set off to be suffocating once more. Each of the three great Kings contributed their own military forces and contracted different mercenaries to prevent a repeat of the calamity that happened in Lumine.

The highlight of the festivities was the grand aquatic performance of the merpeople and other water species at the open pavilion of Atlantis. The show will run for the entire week as a send-off to the ambassadors.

When Haru heard of the aquatic show, she pestered Adis every day to allow her to watch the show. Adis vehemently objected at first due to the risk of being in a crowded area but eventually conceded when she attempted a hunger strike as her means of protest. He could only shake his head at the thought that his silly wife had grown spoiled by him.

Haru giggled in excitement as she was currently preparing for their short excursion outside of the palace. She truly missed being out and free just like what she did before marrying Adis. But now that she was a Queen with numerous threats to her head, she decided to stay inside the palace to lessen her husband's worry.

"Anais, have you seen an aquatic show before? I heard it was as majestic and brilliant as the circus in Lumine." She chatted like an eager child.

Anais nodded vigorously, totally affected by her enthusiasm. "Yes, my parents would always bring me here every year to watch the performance and it's always a heart-stopping show for me, if I may say so. The fireworks at the end are worthy to see as well."

"Woah!" Haru's eyes sparkled like a newly polished gemstone. She ran towards Adis who was sitting on a chaise lounge nearby and reading some report. She excitedly sat on top of his lap without a care about his documents and squealed. "Did you hear that Adis? Kyaa! I am really excited now."

Adis completely ignored the reports as soon as his wife ran towards him. He enveloped her in his embrace as he kissed her amber eyes repeatedly. "Seeing your eyes shine so bright like that pleases me so. As long as you're happy, then this idiot husband doesn't mind going to a crowded place once in a while." Then, a look of forlorn suddenly crossed his face. "However, this husband is feeling lonely. His wife spoke of nothing but the aquatic performance that she neglected this lovesick husband. Whatever should I do? It seems that my wife is easily distracted by exciting things."

She giggled once again before she leaned her body closer to him, her breasts laid on his broad and hard chest. "Then, shall this silly wife bestow her King a true love's kiss to relieve you from your lonely curse?"

Adis' eyes darkened with great fervor. He whispered against her lips, "I want my wife to kiss this neglected husband on the lips and down there." He swiftly shifted her position so she would straddle him. He buried his face on the side of her head and wetly whispered to her ears. "Then, I want to drink my beloved's sweet nectar as she shuddered on top of me. I want to feel your tight and wet walls demand for my seed."

Haru whimpered and squirmed like a trapped prey in the arms of a starving predator. His whispers were intoxicating her to give up the aquatic show today and just choose to be locked inside their bedchamber.

"Geez, get a room, you horny rabbits!"

Her hazed mind suddenly cleared up by the snappy remarks. She instantly swiveled her attention to the unwanted guests. Zen was currently looking at them through his fingers over his eyes and Aquarius was in his usual calm behavior as he gently flapped his fan on his beautiful face.

The warmth atmosphere suddenly became chilly and Adis' eyes glinted with bloody murder at the sight of the nuisances. "Last time this great King checked, this is our bedchamber. You get the hell out!" He snarled, totally pissed off at the interrupted lovemaking session. He was so close on bewitching her to postponed their trip to a later time.

Zen opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, feeling wronged as he stumped his foot on the floor. "But... I thought we will be watching the aquatic show for today? I even flee from Isaiah just to get here. I am really looking forward to watching it with my sister-in-law."

Upon the mentioned of the aquatic show, Haru hurriedly stood up and dragged Adis' heavy muscled arms and tried to pull him up. "That's right, you promise me a tour of the city and the show. Oh, great King of Umbra, have you gone so low to even trick this wife and eat your own words?"

"Who says about eating someone's words. I just thought that it was still too early so maybe this idiot husband can score a round or two from you before we leave." Adis shamelessly reasoned out as though what he said was as normal as a walk in the park.

It was Haru's turn to stomp her foot on the ground. "You shameless devil, I won't play with you anymore if you don't drag your ass out of there!"

"Yes, yes, don't be upset now. This idiot husband knows he's wrong." He finally stood up and pacified her by showering her face with small kisses.

His queen's mood swings were really terrifying recently. He never felt so scared in many years as he was in these past weeks. Everyone in the palace was treading on thin ice as she could flare-up at any moment.

When they were on their way out of the palace, Haru saw Fenrir going out too and she immediately called out to him before he could escape from gods-only-know where.

"Fenrir!" Haru yelled with sweet laughter in her voice.

The enormous beasts unwillingly halted and rigidly spun to face her. "M-mother!"

"Come with us, my son. We will be watching the aquatic show at the pavilion."

"B-but mother, my pack decided to hunt in the Atlantis woods for today," the silver wolf politely declined.

When Haru's eyes narrowed, the men around her panicked.

"Idiot, don't reject her," Zen mouthed in fear.

Aquarius fanning suddenly became frantic as he continuously shook his head.

When Haru sniffed, Fenrir looked at his father king for help.

Adis sighed helplessly at his mother and pup. 'These two brats are really royal pain the ass, ' he just thought to himself. "Haru, my love, you know that Fenrir is the alpha of his pack," he started as he hugged her from behind and coaxed her to not be upset. "Is my company not good enough?"

Haru sobbed without tears. "Of course not! But I just miss our pup so much. Why did you have to grow up so fast? Mother feels that I have not loved you enough yet."

Zen was stupefied. If a massive being like Fenrir was called a pup, then what should they call now to the teeny-weeny puppies in this world? This idiot couple really knew nothing but to spoil their son. I bet his nephew in her belly would be rotten as well. And he'd be one of the reasons for it.

Fenrir patted his mother's head as though he was the adult and Haru was the child. "Mother, son is no longer a pup and I have received so much of you and father's love. I'm sorry that son became busy with his duties as Alpha. But after this one, I will make it up to you. Please don't cry. It breaks Fenrir's heart when you're sad."

"Mother will listen to Fenrir now. Just always be careful out there, okay. Know that your father and I think of you, always." Haru said as she pulled Fenrir's face down and placed her forehead against his muzzle.

Adis helplessly looked at his Queen and Fenrir, then hugged both of them ardently. It was a very touching scene that could move everyone's heart at first sight. Zen and Aquarius approached them and ruffled the beast's furry head, giving him their blessings as well.

******************************

As soon as Haru reached the city, she became busy running and laughing as she examined every stalls and decoration on the streets of Atlantis, totally oblivious at the adoring stares of the citizens around her. As always, she looked like an ethereal bride lost in the commoners ground with her vintage off-white a-line lace and chiffon empire waist cut long dress. Her long curly hair was braided in a flower crown with real flower accessories while some curly strands framed her face which only enhanced her otherworldly beauty.

Many kids gathered around the kind queen that made her laugh even more.

"My Queen, are you also here to watch the aquatic show?" A little girl with a toothy grin, leopard ears and tail asked.

"Oh, yes! I can't wait to see it. Have you seen it already?" She indulged the child by squatting down in front of her.

"Yes, we watched it on the first day and it was really good!"

All the kids chorused then rambled their own stories one-by-one in exaggerated ways. The aquatic show was made open to everyone, whether to a peasant or nobles, as it was free. The royal family, specifically Adis, shouldered the expense for the show and did not even bat an eyelash at the extravagant amount he paid. That's why the citizens were all grateful to the Kings and Queen of Umbra.

"Haru," Adis softly called his wife as he reached out his hand to her. "Let's go, the show is about to start." Then, he looked at the kids with an indifferent expression on his face. "Brats, go home early, else your parents might get worried."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The kids answered all at the same time.

The girl with a toothy grin even approached him and hugged his leg. As she looked up, she spoke in her tiny and timid voice, "Thank you for the wonderful festival, Your Majesty! Everyone was having fun because of you." Her face was as red as a tomato and once she finished her thanks, she ran away as fast as she could.

"Whoa, how cute!" Haru exclaimed as she watched the kids chaste after the shy girl. Then she poked Adis' side with her elbows as she teased him. "Aww, my King is becoming really popular now. Your Queen is jealous!"

Adis captured her arm as he imprisoned her in his embrace. "Tsk, I only need to be popular in your eyes. More importantly, don't run here and there. In case you have forgotten, your pregnant, you spoiled brat! Do you really want this King to have a heart attack?"

Haru did not even look remorseful after his soft chide. She just caressed his forehead to remove the worried scowl on his face. "Now, now, don't be mad. This silly wife will behave from now on. Come, let us buy some snacks before we go to the pavilion."

While the four royalties were busy eating and goofing around, a menacing shadow was watching the beauty from afar. His teeth and fists clenched when he saw the Demon King wiped the breadcrumbs off on the beauty's luscious lips with his filthy fingers. His body shook in extreme jealousy and smashed the pillar beside him.

"Master," a man in a butler uniform appeared behind him. "The show is about to start. It is best to make haste and be seated before the royal family reaches the pavilion."

"She looks so beautiful, isn't she, Alfred? And very soon, she's finally going to be mine."
