Chapter 21- A new king?

After I finally calmed down I extracted myself from his grasp. "I have an idea." I smile feeling all the sadness I felt disappearing.

"What is it?"

"Why don't you rule alongside me?" I giggle. "You'll have a big bed again." I tease. "Although you won't have it to yourself."

"Are you suggesting we marry?"

"Sort of! If you show your true form and tell the demons you wish to rule alongside me then we will both rule."

"I think that's a good idea."

"But I don't mind marrying you." We speak at the same time. "Go ahead." I say blushing again.

"I said I think that's a good idea."

"I said that I don't mind marrying you." I can tell my face is quite red.

"Well how about I marry you as my true self?"

"Sounds great!" I laugh feeling excited.

"Let's begin preparations then." Demetrius takes over and does it all himself. All I have to do is pick out a dress and a dagger.

"Why do I need a dagger?" I ask the maid helping me.

"You need to cut the one you marry and touch your wounds together."

"Very interesting protocol." I say pulling out one of my twin daggers. "Give this to Demetrius."

"Yes Mistress." I play with the other of the daggers contemplating the dresses.

"I think I'll go with that one." I pull one away from the pile. It was a similar color to my blades, a dark crimson. All of the dresses were dark colored, probably so the blood doesn't stain it.

At the Wedding~

I walked up to a weird looking demon in a robe and Demetrius. "If you two are willing to spend the rest of your live together cut your forearm." We both do so. "Now press them together." We follow the demon's commands and as soon as his cut touches mine they begin to heal. "Congrats." He sounds bored. "You're married." I laugh feeling very happy.

"Let's go." Demetrius carries me to my- no our bedroom and sets me one the bed.

"I'm hungry." I giggle.

"Are you now?" He smiles and let's me bite his neck.

"Thanks." I smile after taking a little bit.

"That wasn't nearly as much as last time."

"Are you complaining?"

"Not really."

"Well the reason I only took a little this time is because I hadn't had any in seven whole days."

"Oh." He says before I pin him down again. "Ack!"

"We're married now. I can do whatever I want with you." I say and kiss him.

After a long night of no sleep I get up stretching. "Heh. You've got marks all over you." I giggle.

"No thanks to you." He says also getting up.

"True." I pick a crimson "riding" outfit and slip it on. "Let's spar again today."

"Sound like a good plan."

"Then we should throw a feast."

"We'll hunt too."

"Sounds great!" We head to the sparring grounds again and the demons there ran off again. "Heh. They're still scared of us."

"It seems like it." He charges are me. I just sidestep and nicked his arm.

"Ten hits." His only response was a nod. Usually our battles were two or three hit matches. This time I want to prolong it. "Come catch me!" I laugh as I shoot up into the sky. I hear a light chuckle directly below me and I look down. "Heh. Nice try." I reach down and cut his hand. He had grabbed my ankle and was trying to get his sword to go to it. As soon as I cut his hand though, he let go in surprise and fell a bit before flying.

"That was a dirty trick."

"Who says we have to play fair?"

"That's true."

"Come on!" I exclaim flying towards the hunting grounds. "Whoever gets the most game gets a free hit on the other!" I laugh and fly in.

"You little...." He grumbled. We hunted for two hours and I ended up with the most.

"Heh." I grin and cut his other arm then run off grabbing my game on the way. "Let's deliver these to the chefs."

"Race you!" He laughed and flew ahead.

"You're on!" I grin. I managed to get to the castle first although he wasn't far behind. "I win!" I laugh and spin, slicing one of his legs. "That's four for me! Zero for you!"
