Old enemies becoming new friends

"Isn't she the most safe right now?"

'How long would she stay this way normally?'

"A day or two… but that depends on her mental and/or physical state."

"But like I said she is now fully awakened so we don't know how long this will last. We are back at square one again."

Marika suddenly woke up because she felt a presents she hated the most. She jump off from Richard and ran towards the balcony. As she was running she changed back to her adult self and looked for the person who was coming.

As she spotted the person she just jumped down and then transformed in to a dragon.

Richard ran to the balcony and saw a few guard standing completely baffled by what just happened.

"Go after her and protect her!"

The guard ran after her and stopped when they saw her standing near the entrance of the palace. The captain was outside of the door and saw Marika and ran up to her.

"Your Majesty!"

Marika looked at the man and then to all the soldiers who were stand next to her.

Marika lowered her head to the captain.

"We will stand with you and keep you save."

Marika nuzzled the captain telling him she appreciated it.

Marika took a defensive stand and roared at the person who was only 5 meters away from her.

The guard who were with man were ready to attack her at any moment.

The man then looked at Marika and said "So you survived after all and even your 8th stage…"

Marika roared again and impatiently whipped her tail up and down.

"What business does The Sun Kingdom have with The Moon Kingdom?" The captain asked the man.

"We came for that thing next to you"

"What insolence, how dare you speak to Her Majesty like that!"

Both Marika and the guard captain got angry because of the degrading words he used.

Richard arrived in his 3rd stage and stood in-front of Marika.

"You have the nerve to come to my castle and attack and try to kill somebody in my Kingdom?"

"On who's authority are you moving?"

The man looked at Richard and he didn't back down

"We have permission of the Sun King."

"Richard patted Marika "Sweetie while you keep them busy, I'll make a quick call to the king and see what's going on. If he indeed gave permission this is a war declaration and I call for Canus and his army."

Marika nuzzled Richard and her eyes glinted a bit because she was itching for a fight.

The man raised his hand and signaled the soldiers to attack her.

Richard told his soldiers to stand behind her for the first 2 tail strikes and then moved to the side and attack from there and create an opening for her so she could have a straight line to the commander.

The soldiers charged at Marika but she swung her tail and downed the first two rows of soldiers. The second wave wasn't far behind but they also got mowed down by her tail.

The third wave of soldiers hesitated and the captain and the guard took this opportunity and charged at them.

Richard started to call to the Sun King.

"Your Majesty The Moon King, to what do I owe the honor of this call."

"Well…" And Richard showed what was going on.

Marika heard the Sun King speaking, and she turned around and roared at him.

"Sweetie, it's alright is just a video call, he is not here."

"As you can see, you pissed her off pretty bad."

The Sun King was shocked "Is that… is that the girl of Green and Azure decent?"

"Yes…did you also forgot she is The Queen of Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi?"

"As I see this situation, it doesn't look very good for you. She considers this attack as a declaration of war, and since she is on my castle grounds for a visit I consider this also as a declaration of war."

"So if it all comes down to it, it's not only me and her you have to deal with, you also have to deal with Black Dragon Clan, since they are both our allies."

"So my question is… Did you authorize this attack?"

"Dear god no! After what I have witnessed at the engagement party I would not dare. And I gave her my word that I would not attack her."

"And if either the Red or Yellow Clan would do so I would turn a blind eye to her and she had my permission to kill anybody who would attack her."

Richard then called in a loud voice to Marika "Sweetie!"

Marika who had a soldier in her jaws turned around and walked over to Richard.

"Sweetheart why do you have something dirty in your mouth?"

Marika looked at him and threw the soldier from her jaws.

Marika then looked at the Sun King

"Your Majesty do you perhaps fallowed the tradition of the Green Dragon Clan?"

Marika nodded and looked at Richard.

"Her name now is Yumaria."

"Queen Yumaria, I did not send nor authorize this backhand attack on you. As promised last time I will turn a blind eye to anybody you kill that attack you."

Suddenly a man came running in to the office of the Sun King in a panic telling him that a group of soldiers went to the Moon Kingdom to aid Duke Licht.

"Your Majesty, your son the first prince and the first and second prince of the red clan went to the Moon Kingdom to stop them."

"This is a problem…"

"How so?" Richard asked.

"Her Majesty Yumaria would probably recognize my son and the first prince of the red clan, but she never met the second prince of the red clan."

Richard looked at Marika and she nuzzled him lightly

"Looks like it wouldn't be a problem as long as he fallows his older brothers word and introduces."

2 squads of new soldiers appeared at the castle and not far behind them did the princes and with each a squad of soldiers arrived.

Marika flew over to them and stood between them and the group of people who were attacking.

The First prince of the Yellow Clan and the First prince of the Red Clan knelt down to her and everybody fallowed suit, even the soldiers did so.

Marika changed to her 7th stage and pulled the helmet of the second prince of the red clan. She then tilted his head upward and asked him. "Do you hate me for killing your father and 3rd sister?"

The second prince smiled at Marika "No, actually if you didn't kill them then I would have killed them myself by now. Your Majesty gave us peace of mind by taking their life's and our mother and sisters are also grateful to your act."

"But in my opinion it was a cheap price to pay for the life's of the rest of the clan."

Marika saw his honesty and patted him on the shoulder 'Ahaha I like your attitude.'

'So I see you're an archer, how good are your skills?'

" I'm second best!"

'Ohh who's is better than you?'

"The first prince of the Yellow Clan Your Majesty."

She grabbed the man by the head 'What the f*ck did I ever do to you sh*tty ass nobles to warrant this attack on me? Was it because I killed the previous king?'

'Hell I don't even understand why I needed to die in the first place!'

'For 23 years I suffered, I lost my family, all because of trash like you.'

'But now that I know how to fight and even kill, and even have the guts to kill a king non the less you want to kill me so I can't be a treat to your god forsaken country?'

'Well let me tell you this, this ends today because I'm sick of you guys trying to kill me for no god damn good reason.'

'Oh and one more thing, your current king wont nag at me for killing you.'

The Duke then pleaded to the princes but they shook their heads

'You know what, I have a better idea… Why not rot in the dungeon of the Moon Castle.'

'You three, just return and let them all know what has happened and that his sorry ass is a prisoner of war. And if anybody else has the balls to come at me again I'll torture them and let them rot away.'

Marika then dragged the wounded Duke and turned to the soldiers who came with Duke Licht, they were all captured and held by sword point.

She threw him in front of them and trusted her sword in his shoulder so he would stay down.

'I give you guys two choices, you can either swear your loyalty to the current Sun King or these 3 princes, or you can be stupid and hold your loyalty to this trash and die here on the spot.'

Some of the soldiers swore the loyalty to the king or the princes, but there was a small group of soldiers who didn't want to and one of them spoke to Marika.

"We would like to swear our loyalty to you Your Highness."

Marika looked at them, 'I have trust issues, how do I know you won't betray me? For all I know this some kind of trap set up by other nobles and you just going to spy on me.'

"If we betray you Your Majesty then please end our life's with your own two hands."

The second prince the spoke up for them, "If your concerned about their back grounds I can send you there paper works, these man are all war prisoners, and they have nothing but the cloths on their backs."

Marika looked at Richard because she really didn't know what to do.

Richard walked over to her "Why not take them in, by accepting them you are freeing them. They choose out of their own free will to fallow you and be loyal to you. And if you still have distrust let them work to earn your trust."

Marika looked at the men again and said, "I forbid any communication with Sun Kingdom for at least 6 months and you all will have during this time a soldier coupled with you who will keep a close eye on you.'

'Do you have any problems with that?'

"If this will easy Your Majesty's mind then so be it."

Then William pop up out of nowhere, "I see you have new additions to your Kingdom, Your Majesty."

'You let Dante and Kevin handle this, you only supervise them, understood!'

"O Your Highness is so kind as to give me a day to just sit back and relax."

'Well if you don't want it, I can give you the task…' And she grinned at him.

William opened a portal and escorted the man to her kingdom.

'Enjoy your day!'

'Now where is that white coat.'

"What do you need of him?" Richard asked her.

'Remember that he said he needed someone to test his weird medicine? I think this man will do just fine don't you think?'

Richard signaled to the guard captain and a few soldiers to come over.

"What can we do for you Your Majesty?"

'Bring this man over to doctor Niveus and tell him he can use him to test his weird medicine on him, But he cannot die until I say so. And tell him I hope he likes this gift.'

She then gave each of the princes a small gift.

The second prince asked her "What is this?"

'It a small toke of my appreciation, you guys risked you life's by showing up. Knowing this little field trip could have ended very badly. But you guy were working hard to let me enjoy my life and tried your hardest to take out all the roaches.'

'Just keep this little thing with you all the time and you'll be safe from harm.' Marika smiled.

She turned around and walked away.

'Oh and tell the Sun King not to worry over this matter to much, even though I think the current Sun King is doing a bad job, I do expect an apology from him personally and with a damn good explanation. We will meet again under better circumstances!'

The second Prince asked Richard "Is she willing to forgive us?"

Richard shook his head.

"Why would she forgive somebody who never threatened her?"

"But by showing up and bring support to stop the treat…to her it is a sign of a new start and peace between the Sun Kingdom and her."

Suddenly the second princes shouted "Ahh crap!, first and second sister are going to kill me, I forgot to give Her Majesty the gifts they had prepared for her."

The fist prince of the Red Dragon Clan said "I told my sisters that Her Highness was a dual wield swords women and she is also good at making medicine. And as a Token that she spared our clan they wanted to give her something in return.

The Second prince pulled out of a special bag two swords Concordia (Harmony) and Sodalitas (Friendship), and after that three wooden boxes containing herbs.

My first sister gifts the two custom made swords, and my second sister gifts Her Majesty a few rare herbs. And this is a letter they have written."

Richard called Marika back "Sweetheart! Could you come here for a moment? It's very important!"

Marika came over and asked 'What is so important?'

Both the first prince and the second prince from the Red Dragon Clan presented Marika with the gifts their sisters wanted to give to her.

She also read the letter they had written to her.

We greet Her Majesty Queen of Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi.

Let me introduce myself, my name is Rosalyn Rubidus and I'm the first daughter of the former head of the Red Dragon Clan.

My brother has told me of your sword skills and that Your Majesty is formidable if not an unbeatable Dual Sword women, I give you as my token of gratitude these two swords Concordia (Harmony) and Sodalitas (Friendship). We hope that these swords represent the start of peace between the Sun Kingdom and Your Majesty.

The second gift that is represented to Your Majesty are herbs my second Sister Liane Rubidus have collected and some were grown by her own two hands. When my sister heard Your Majesty is skilled in making medicine she would hope by gifting you these rare herb and hope to could be of aid to Your Majesty's health in the future.

I want to inform Your Majesty to one last thing, our mother is eternal grateful and wishes you good health and a happy life, she also wishes to meet with Your Majesty.

We know that Your Majesty might feel uncomfortable by visiting The Sun Kingdom, but if coming to the Sun Kingdom is something that is not possible we are gladly to visit Your Majesty in Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi.

We all wish Your Majesty good health and hope to meet in the near future

Sincerely

Rosalyn Rubidus and Liane Rubidus

After reading the letter Marika smiled lightly.

She looked at the sword and said, 'Your fist sister made these sword by her own two hands and she even went as far as studding up on forging Katana swords that are made in the human word. Katana's are the finest swords there and the sharpest, they won't grow dull fast.'

'If I would have to place your sisters, they are a split version of me.'

The two brothers looked at Marika. "That sum's them up just right" and they laughed.

'Tell your sisters I would love to meet them and your mother.'

'As for when…I'll have to come back on that another time and contact them when I have free time.'

Marika signaled to the first prince of the Yellow Dragon Clan to come close to her, she then whispered something to him.

"Are you serious Your Majesty?" he asked with a surprised look on his fac.

Marika nodded.

The first prince of the Yellow Dragon Clan then laughed a little "As you wish."

The three princes bid Marika and Richard goodbye when Marika suddenly remembered something.

'Michael, Leo, Levi wait a moment.'

"What is the matter Your Majesty?"

'Since you have been roach hunting, there are two more roaches you need to find for me. To be specific I need you to find two doctors for me and I want them alive. And when you found them see if they can give you any information on a 3rd one that should be residing in the human world. If the 3rd one is dead then bring me those two.'

'All you have to go one is experiments on a 5 year old girl with healing ability's in the human world.'

The three princes bowed to Marika and promised to look for them.

'Let's meet again!' And she waved at them.

As the three princes walked away, Leo asked his younger brother "So what did you think of Her Majesty Queen of Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi?"

"I think we are lucky that she wants to stop this vicious cycle of killing. Our stupid father really know how to make a weapon of destruction." Levi said to his brother.

"She really gave me goosebumps when she took of my helmet and look me straight in the eyes. But I do wish I could see her fight with her dual wielding sword skill."

Leo looked at his brother "She gave you goosebumps? How is that possible for a bloodthirsty battle freak like your?"

"Easy… It means she is so strong that even I would not dare to oppose her and if I would even try to harm her it means instant death for me."

"All I can say is that we did the right thing to let her kill our father and sister, if we didn't she could have easily destroyed us all by herself."

"I think it would be nice if we could start with a clean slate and be at least on friendly terms with her." Leo said.

"By the way what did Her Majesty whispered to you?" Levi asked Michael.

Michael chuckled a bit when he remembered her words, "You'll see, since we three have to report to my father anyway."

[ Sun Kingdom ]

Michael knock on the door. "Father we have returned!"

"Enter"

Michael, Leo, Levi enter the kings study room and bowed to him.

"How did it go? Was Her Majesty angry?" The king was nervous.

"I wouldn't say she was angry" Leo responded.

"I think irritated would be more accurate." Levi fallowed up.

"We explained to Her Majesty that we were already working on capturing the previous king followers and that a few had slipped through the cracks." Michael said.

"Even toughed a few had slipped through the cracks, she still praised and appreciate our hard work." Leo then told the king.

"But she said; even though I think the current Sun King is doing a bad job, I do expect an apology from him personally and with a damn good explanation."

"And where is Duke Licht?"

"He is officially the first war prisoner of Her Majesty." Michael explained.

"As for all the soldiers, the could either swear their loyalty to us 3 and Your Majesty or they could just die at the spot."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

"Sorry to disturb your meeting but I have documents the His Highness Levi requested."

Levi took the documents and looked them over, and his face started to turn pale.

"What is it brother?" Leo asked him.

"Ahaha, and here I thought our father had screwed the Red Dragon Clan over by attacking Her Majesty, but Your Majesty, your father screwed the Yellow Dragon Clan. The soldiers who swore their loyalty to Her Majesty are all people from The Founding Green Dragon Clan."

The King sighed and said "Even if we don't send the documents she will find out sooner or later, and then we are really screwed."

Michael walk over to his father and said. "Oh I also have a message from Her Majesty for you."

Michael slapped the back of the head of his father and repeated Marika's words "If you're not a decent King by the time we meet, I'll dethrone you myself and put the three princes at the throne, since they do a better job than you."

"Pfft" Leo and Levi had to contain there laugh.

"Father why not try to call her and tell her what you have found out about the soldiers. And that you will look for other people of the founding Green Dragon Clan and you are ready to release them from there shackles that grandpa put on them."

"I don't think she will hold what the old King did against you" Leo said.

"That's right, When I asked the Moon King if she was forgiving us for what our father did to her he said; Why would she forgive somebody who never harmed her in the first place."

The Sun King nodded "You boys are right, maybe by this I can show here that I'm stepping up to become a good King."

The 3 princes smiled.

"If you excuses us Your Majesty, we have an request to fulfill to Her Majesty." Michael said to the king.

"A request? What is it about?"

"It's about two doctors who experimented on a 5 year old girl with healing abilities and lived in the human world at that time." Levi said.

Now the King turned pale.

"I know who she is looking for, Michael it seems that not only your grandfather screwed us over but also your uncle."

"The 5 year old girl is Her Majesty and one of the doctors is your uncle."

Michael, Leo and Levi were shocked.

"Then what about the second doctor?" Michael asked.

"He can be found in the medical wing of this palace."

"Then we only need to find the third one in the human world."

The King told them "Only she can visit the place where the third reside."

"And where is that?" Leo asked

"The Green Dragon Clan."

[ Moon Castle ]

Marika was at the Dungeon talking to the two assassins who voluntarily lock them self's up there.

'Are you two in here out of safety concerns?'

The two man nodded.

'Well I do admire that you amid your fault and you want to fallow up with your punishment and all, but you guys are useful and I since I told you, you didn't harm me I don't see any reason to let you guy's stay in here.'

The one of the man started to speak in a whisper "Well… there is a spy in the castle and he is a high ranking minister in the court of the palace."

The other man said "We really don't want to get hurt or killed, but we beg you please wound us at least, because if he comes down here he can see we are being tortured by you he will probably leave us alone and see us as dead man."

Marika thought for a moment and whispered back, 'Alright but you better pray he won't find out you guys are acting.'

Just as Marika wanted to in flick some damage on the two man Richard came down.

"Sweetheart you have a call from the Sun King."

'Ohh…'

"Your Majesty I'm calling because I got your message that you passed on to my son Michael."

'I hope you got a little enlighten by that. And could you please stop it with the Your Majesty? Just call me Queen Yumaria and passed that one to the boys too. For some reason it gives me the creeps when I hear it coming from you sunny people.'

"Forgive me Queen Yumaria. Levi got the documents from the war prisoners who swore their loyalty to you, and we found out that they are people from The Founding Green Dragon Clan."

Marika was calm about it and said 'But it was Your Majesty's father who took them as war prisoners and not you so… Is that old dude still alive?'

"Yes he is."

'Well why don't you free all the war prisoners and let them decide if they want to kill him or not.'

'Just tell the war prisoners that if they have no place to go, the doors of Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi are open to them and we welcome them with open arms.'

"Yes Queen Yumaria"

"The princes also informed me you were looking for 3 doctors who did experiments on a little girl who has a healing ability and lived in the human world."

'That's correct, did you guys already found them?'

"Yes… as a matter of fact we did, one is the chief of our medical staff in the palace the second one is my brother."

'You're not going to plead for mercy or anything for your brother are you?'

"No…if death is what he deserves, than so it shall be."

"But the third doctor resides at a place where we cannot go…"

Marika smiled, 'The Green Dragon Clan.'

'No worries, I'll send someone over who can get in to that place, no problem.'

'And as for the two doctors on your side, just… let them be for now I'll be busy for a few weeks so. And about the war prisoners, take your time, I'm not in a hurry and by freeing them systematically it won't cause a uproar in the noble classes and military ranks.'

'Just send me the documents of the current people that I have here now.'

'O and boys, good job on the fast handling of my request, now you have another achievement to your name's to be proud of.'

Levi spoke, Queen Yumaria, it's all thanks to the King, we only told him about your request he actually knew where they all were.'

'Uhm… So you are a competent King after all. But still you boy's did a good job non the less.'

The three of them bowed and all said in sync "Thank you Queen Yumaria."

'Well got to go now since I still have to torture a person. Talk to you later.'

Marika ended the call and sighed.

"Are you alright?" Richard asked her with a look of concern on his face.

Marika hugged Richard 'Yes… I just sighed that I won't see the look on the face of the head of The Green Dragon Clan when he gets to hear what one of his clan's man did to a long lost daughter of the Green Dragon Clan.'

'O before I forget, I found the root of your infestation, the two here told me as she whispered to Richard where to look.'

"Ohh…"and Richard looked at the two man.

"Sweetie do you mind and start letting that man scream so I can talk to these two?"

'Sure, but don't kill them they are useful to me later.'

Richard kissed Marika "Well weren't you about to hurt them?"

'Only because the begged me because of a spy and to make it look convincing.'

Marika looked at the two man and asked 'You mind if he punches you a few times? Because I would have cut you with my knife.'

The man shook their head.

Marika gave them a pill, this little candy won't heal you but it relieves the pain you feel. So take it if you feel like you can't bare it anymore.'

The two man whispered their thanks to her and Marika left for the doctor who was a few cell's ahead of them.

As Marika was torturing the doctor who scream in agony Richard got all the information he needed from the two.

"Bite down because this is going to hurt you a lot"

Richard threw a few punches and kicks to the man until they couldn't get up.

One of them raised his thumb before passing out. Richard lock the door and went to the cell were Marika was.

When he looked inside he saw the a man covered in blood.

Marika looked at him and asked 'Did you enjoy your own screaming?'

'Well this is only the tip of the iceberg there will be more coming.'

Marika left the cell and locked the door.

"Genus was right, compared to you I'm a nice guy"

'Well…I stopped consider myself as a kind person.'

"Let's go and you take a nice hot bath to relax."

Marika nodded and the both walked out of the dungeon and Richard asked her "So what did you do to him? There was a lot of blood but he is still alive."

'Ohh I jammed a lot of healing pills down his throat, and because of that his body became similar to mine for a short period of time.'

'He experienced what I have experienced when I was just a child.'

'Ohh and after my bath let's to something fun! Just the two of us.'

Richard hugged her. "And what are we going to do?"

'Remember I promised to teach you something as you thought me that spell.'

Richard smiled at her "And what are you going to teach me?"

'You'll see.' Marika smiled back.

When Marika and Richard arrived back at the palace a guard came running up to them. He had a panicked expression on his face

"My Queen!? Are you alright? What happened?"

Marika looked puzzled at the guard.

"My Queen, your covered in blood, did you get hurt? Do I need to call a doctor?"

'Ohh…no need, I'm fine. This is not my blood anyway.'

The guard then look at Richard, "It's true we just came back from the dungeon where she tortured a person."

The guard sighed a sigh in relieve.

"My King, My Queen I came to inform you a women has just pushed her way in to your privet wing. She demanded to let her through because she claimed to be your fiancé."

Marika turned to Richard and said 'Hus…band be a good boy and stay here with the guard. And while I take care of this little intruder I'll send some addition guard to guard your body. Because I don't want any women's sent on you.'

Richard and the guard both shivers by Marika's aura. Her annoyance was through the roof and killing intent was enough to make even the most fearless man turn around and run.

Marika who was in her 7th stages came arrived at Richard's private wing, the guard bow to her in fear.

"My Queen…"

'Where is that b*tch?'

"She is… in the sleeping chambers of His Majesty."

'I'll praise her for her guts… Whose daughter is she?'

"She is the daughter of the prime minister, My Queen"

Marika smirked 'Ohh… than we need two coffins soon.'
