Chapter 4

Satan stabbed his pasta. "So you're leaving tomorrow?" Anastasia nodded and his wife gasped at her random thought. "So you're at last going to overthrow your father?!" Anastasia and her best friend spit out their food in surprise.

Anastasia coughed. "Not exactly. Well, actually I was thinking of doing it. My parents have been too petty, and I said nothing about it. But now just a few days before I found out that their pettiness led to something that hurt my brother. And I don't care about them that much, but they hurt my brother. And nobody messes with my siblings."

Satan's wife nodded in agreement. "I know right! Since day one, they have been giving me a petty vibe." All of them nodded and continued eating their food. After a few seconds, Anastasia asked. "So when am I going to become godmother?"

Satan started choking, and his wife hid her face in her hands in embarrassment. Anastasia repeated her words. "Seriously, when am I going to get my godchild?!"

"So we're going to make a dramatic entrance?"

"Yup."

"How?" Anastasia rolled her eyes at her brother. "Obviously we are going to walk towards the palace with our feet and make an entrance."

Hunter gritted his teeth. "Why do you have to be so sarcastic every time?" Anastasia sipped her milk. "Ask me stupid questions, and you'll get a sarcastic answer." she set the cup down. "Now. Go to your girlfriend, your twenty minutes of petty revenge has finished."

--------------

Anastasia, Hunter, and Margret couldn't make a dramatic entrance because somebody had already stolen the spotlight. Once they stepped inside the castle, everyone inside was already panicking. The fae empress's water had broken a few hours ago, and people were walking left-right-left in panic.

They only noticed the trio when the butler ran into Anastasia and Hunter. "Ahh! Your highnesses! Welcome back!"

Anastasia asked. "Where are my parents?"

"We might get a new prince or princess. His majesty is with her majesty right now." He then clapped his hands and everyone stopped in their tracks. He cleared his throat and announced. "Everyone! Princess Anastasia and Prince Hunter have come back!"

Pin drop silence for five seconds and then everyone started gushing around them.

"Your highness welcome back!"

"It's so good to see you again, your highnesses!"

One of the maids said something. "Uhh, who's that girl in the back? His highness's new lover?" Everyone gasped and glared at her. How dare she, they thought.

One of the male servants scolded her. "How dare you say that?! We all know his highness is very loyal to Lady Margret, even though they have broken ties! He swore that he won't have another lover after she was gone! I'm sure that's her highness' lover."

Everyone tried to peep at Margret while she hid her face in her hands. 'Uhh, when did I become my best friend's lover? Ew! I'm straight as bamboo, thank you!' she thought. What a big misunderstanding!

Anastasia flushed and coughed. "Uhh she's not my new girlfriend, she's my brother's-"

Hunter put his arm around Magret and proudly announced. "Well, it is Lady Margret. Didn't know you'd be here!" Pin drop silence again! Magret glared at her boyfriend and whispered. "I'll kill you in your sleep." He smiled and tucked a stray hair behind her ear. "I know."

Everyone started congratulating Hunter and Margret on patching things up. It stopped when a high-pitched scream rang through the air. Shit, they forgot about the empress!

-------------------------

After twelve fucking hours of screaming, panic, and tension, the healer came outside along with a tired dad. Everyone crowded around him. The emperor sighed announced. "We got two princesses, and your mother's inside resting And if anyone needs me, ask my children what you want from me. They'll give the answer. Also, if you want to see the twins, you can go in there. Hunter, I'll be in your room."
