It's my turn now to help you

The soldiers were trembling in fear, because Marika didn't held back on her murders intent.

'I want six of you out side and protect His Majesty's body, If I smell another women on him…well you get what consequences will be.'

"Yes My Queen."

'Ohh and one more question. Why do you call me My Queen?'

"That's because we will only acknowledge Queen Yumaria as our King's future wife and Queen."

Marika smiled at the soldiers.

'Alright now go to your king and protect his body for me, the rest of you come with me.'

The six soldiers came out side and Richard asked them "What are you doing out side?"

"Her Majesty told us to protect Your Majesty's body from other women."

Richard started to laugh "So which women signed her own death warrant?"

"The daughter of the prime minister Your Majesty."

"Ohh…This is going to be interesting" Richard had a dark look on his face.

Marika told the soldiers to fallow her in to the room.

Marika opened the door with a loud sound and saw a women lying on Richard's bed.

Marika ordered the soldiers to grab her and pin her down on the ground.

'So you claim to be my husband's fiancé?'

The women looked at Marika and said 'Who do you think you are? Do you know who I am? I'm the daughter….'

Marika looked at the women and asked 'Does your little brain even know who I am?'

'A filthy thing like you is a nobody…'

Marika pulled the women by her hair 'Well let me introduce myself the I am Queen Yumaria, Her Majesty of Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi.'

'But yeh… I'm a bit dirty because the blood you see on me is not mine.' And Marika smirked at the women.

'You guy's keep her there while I clean myself up a bit, and no matter what she says or does she is still on the floor when I get back.'

"Yes my Queen!" one of the soldiers answered Marika.

Marika went in to the bath room and took a bath and put one some clean cloths she had pulled from Richard closed.

When Marika returned she told a soldier to open the doors and the window outside of the room.

Two soldiers did what she asked.

Then Marika walked over to the women and grabbed her by the throat and threw her out of the room.

When she landed in the hallway the prime minister who had heard about it came running up to Marika "What do you think you're doing to my daughter!?"

'What else but cleaning my husband private wing.'

As Marika threw the women out of the window.

Marika yelled to the soldiers 'Can 2 soldiers please take that sl*t to Genus and tell him to treat her and restrain her to the bed.'

Two soldiers picked up the women and took her away.

Then Richard spotted the prime minster coming up from behind Marika and yelled "LOOK OUT!"

Marika reacted and ducked down and the prime minister fell through the open window.

Marika also jumped out of the window and check if he had died. 'Ahha… he is still alive' she sighed.

Richard rushed to Marika to check if she was hurt.

'I'm fine…but I can't deal with this anymore, I'm so sick of it to deal with them one by one.'

Richard looked at Marika and asked "What do you want to do?"

'I want to round up everybody in the place and deal with them all at ones.'

The captain of the guard heard about the commotion "My King, Your Majesty."

Marika looked at the captain and asked 'Are there any soldiers that are against me or have not yet an opinion about me?'

The captain looked at Marika "Well… about that… half of the soldiers are against you but that's only because of hearsay."

'Good' as her eyes started to glow.

'I want everybody to witness my strength and if they are still against me after that than just kick them all out and reform everything within the court and military.'

"But your Majesty! If we kick out half of the soldiers… than the kingdom's defenses are weakened and it will take a lot of time to train new soldiers."

"He is right…"

'I said kick out and reform, you don't need to kick them out right away… honestly what are you thinking. Just get new people and when they are all trained and ready you kick out the group who isn't needed anymore.'

'And even if you kick them out now it's not that your defenseless anyway…Just call for prince Canus and he will be hear in a flash if you say there is a battle.' Marika laughed.

Marika heard a groaning sound and saw the prime minster was getting to his senses.

Richard stepped on the prime minister and trusted his sword close to his head in to the ground.

"Since when do you have the right to send somebody in to my private quarters? And since when am I engaged to your daughter?"

Richard killer intend was welling up.

"And who gave you the guts to slander the Queen of Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi, who is a guest of Your King."

"Your Majesty, that women behind you is not eligible to be by your side."

"Ohh and why not?"

"Her back ground is unknown and she was a peasant who became a queen over a piece of land that is original owned by Your Majesty."

"A peasant… sweetheart mind showing your true form?" Richard asked her.

Marika smiled at him 'Why not, but are you sure…you know I'm still not really used to it and god knows what can happen if he pisses me of. I could accidentally kill him you know.'

Marika smirked.

"Ohh if that happens then it's not a problem, because I will kill him anyway."

'Alright then.' As she shrugged her shoulders.

Marika transformed in to a dragon as she roared out loud the prime minister started to tremble in fear.

Marika then lowered her head towards Richard while looking agitated at the prime minister.

Richard patted her, "If he dares to say that your still not eligible or you dangerous or a peasant break his legs."

Richard had a dark expression on his face.

Marika saw this and she nuzzled him to calm him down, but it didn't seem to work.

"How…how…is it possible for a double colored dragon to be alive?" he whispered

"Guards! there is a threat to His Majesty's life!!!"

Marika let out a and small sigh.

As the guards were gathering and saw Marika they took their attack formation.

This in turn made Richard even more agitated. Marika tried to console him but noting seem to work.

So she did what he asked her to do and with her front paws she crushed one of the prime ministers legs.

He scream on the top of his lungs out of pain.

She knew this would make the guard attack her, so she took her defensive stance.

She knew this situation was going to get out of hand soon, so she roared to the guards as a warning to stay away from her.

The captain yelled at the soldiers to stand down.

Marika again tried to coax Richard to calm down and that everything was fine.

But the prime minster yelled "Kill that thing, she is a threat and want's to kill the King."

Even toughed the captain told them to stand down they charged at Marika.

Something snapped in Richard and his killer intend had risen to the max.

He looked at the guard with murderous eyes.

"Make one scratch on her and you'll pay with your life!"

The guards stopped there attack.

Richard smirked "Who is your King!? Him or me?"

"What are you waiting for? Kill her!"

Marika was anxious , agitated and felt threatened she couldn't coop any longer and Richard noticed that.

Marika started to roar and whipping her tail up and down, one move of a soldier and she would attack them.

As the prime minster told them again to kill her, Richard pulled his sword again and stabbed the him.

A few soldiers were confused and started to charge at Marika, and this mad her attack the soldiers.

She killed the soldiers who attacked her and Richard knew that there was nothing he could do to stop her.

Because she kill the soldiers who charged at her triggered the others to attack her too.

Marika swung her tail around too create a distance between her and the group of soldiers and she then took off to the sky. But she didn't go far and went looking for somebody.

Richard understand why Marika took off, because of her anxiety, agitation and the treat on her life was too much in her current form, for her to handle, he got even more furious at the soldiers.

The soldiers who took a great deal of damage from Marika stood up.

Richard looked at them "You disobeyed the orders of your superior, and you even dare to disobey my words. All of you shall all be executed for committing treason!"

After a few minutes Marika landed again but she kept her distance from Richard and the group of people. She laid down so that Dantis could slide of her back.

Dantis looked at her but her anxiety hadn't eased down the moment she came to pick him up.

He patted her "Don't worry I'll take care of this. Do you want the captain and his man to come over and protect you?"

Marika blinked once.

'Now let's round up all the people of this place and show them that I'm the only one who can stand next to you.'

Richard told the captain to round up all the soldiers that didn't support Marika to go to the training area. And Dantis should round up all the people of the court.

Everybody at the training area was confused, they didn't know what Richard was thinking and wanted to do.

Richard appeared and started to speak.

"Today I asked you all to gather here because, it seems that you don't seem to approve of my future wife. So to all you people of the court let me show you that I choose her for her strength and intelligent. If after today you still oppose her… then your remember my words now, your fate and life's are in her hands."

"And to all the soldiers, she told me that she would try and not take your life's today, you may fight her one on one or in groups. But if you hold back at her…she absolutely will show no mercy to you."

Marika came walking in at the training grounds and saw over 200 soldiers standing there.

Marika then smirked 'I bet the half of you will dare to attack me, but the other half will be to scared after they see what I do to the first half of you.'

One of the soldiers started to speak. "We will make it fair we will…"

'If you think that one on one is going to be fair please don't. If I have to do a one on one it takes forever and I don't have the time for that since I have an appointment in Ignis tomorrow.'

"Then what do you propose we do then?"

'Make 4 groups of 50 people or 8 groups of 25 people. It doesn't matter to me anyway because I will fight at full strength.'

The soldiers discussed the groups and tactics, but little did they know that everything the thought up was useless against her. Because she already heard them.

Marika took her stance with both her sword's, and the soldiers charged at here in groups of 25 people at the time she defended herself with ease. She felt it wasn't even a challenge and took them out one by one in mere minutes.

After she took down at least half of the people she still didn't break a sweat.

She then looked at the last 100 soldiers and asked. 'What do you know of dragons?'

One of the soldiers answered " The are strong and have a higher sense than anybody."

'True…but I'm not in my dragon form so my senses should be lower now in my form.'

"One of the soldiers looked at Marika, so you mean…"

'Correct even thought I look like this my dragon senses have grown in this form too, and since I'm an experienced fighter, if I would take my 7th stage form I'm 20 times faster, agile and stronger.'

The soldiers looked in horror to Marika.

'So I will give you guys the honor to come at me all ones while I'm at my 7th stage.'

"Don't listen to her, she is only tiring to scare us!" A soldier said.

Marika changed in to her 7th stage and said 'Than come at me, all of you.'

100 man charged at Marika but she systematically took the all out. She finally felt she was sweating a little.

Genus came in to the area with his student and checked on Marika first.

"Ohh you seem to finally have broken a sweat. How are you feeling?"

'I'm fine… but I could use a drink of water.'

Genus gave her a flask with water that head some honey mix in.

The Genus student came over and told him they were all knocked out and some a small cut's and bruises but would be fine after a few days of rest.

"Little girl? Did you hold back? I expected at least a few with broken bones."

'Ahaha you got me…I did hold back, because it would be a big setback on the defenses of the castle if I would have broken a few bones.' She said out loud for everybody to hear.

All the nobles of the court were shocked, she went easy on them so the palace wouldn't be vulnerable.

The Captain of the guard who stood at a safe distance with the prime minister and the insubordinate soldiers had witness Marika's capability's came up to her.

Marika looked at the prime minister.

'This man here acted like he was the lord of this castle and even wanted to kill me. I'm a person who hold grudges and I live by one code, an eye for an eye.'

'Your King has already granted me Queen of Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi permission to execute this man.'

'As for the soldiers, they ignored the command of their superior and their King. This is considered an act of treason and the King decided they will be executed as there punishment.'

All the people of the court were shocked.

'I asked the King to be lenient to the people who worked with the prime minister since I believe they were misguided and should have a chance to redeem their self's.'

'I want all the people to stand up who worked together with the prime minister and plot against me. And testify against the prime minister so his crime will be known and a justified punishment can be acted out according the crime he committed.'

A few people stood up and walked over to Marika and bowed to her. "We are grateful that Her Highness showing us mercy and we will testify against the prime minister. We also will leave the court when this case is finalized."

Marika looked at Richard and he nodded.

'It seems your king agrees to these terms.'

'Now for the soldiers in question…'

Marika looked at them 'Is there anything you wish to say in your defense? I'm not so cruel as to execute you right on the spot like your king.'

One of the soldiers stated to speak and Marika listened to them.

'I understand.'

Marika looked at Richard and said 'Your Majesty why not send these men to my kingdom and I will take care of them and drill them in to men that could serve you better in other places in your castle?'

The soldiers were shocked and looked stupefied at Marika.

"If Her Majesty wishes this, than I shall grand it to you."

Marika looked at the soldiers with a smile and patted on of the soldiers on his shoulder.

'If you guys do well your be able to return here, and not all of you will return as soldiers.'

'Isn't it great to still be alive and able to have a chance to serve your king again?'

'Now that, that is out of the way I'm going to rest now.'

'I believe you can handle the rest from now one Your Majesty?'

Richard nodded.

Marika told the soldiers to go back and need to start to pack up for their trip to her country.

She asked the a few soldiers to escort her so she could rest and do some work. She also asked them to get the information of the soldiers who will depart to her kingdom so she has a clear few of them before she handed them a different job.

She then called William 'How is it going with the soldiers you picked up earlier?'

"Everything was settled quite fast, Kevin thought it was a good idea to let Luca have a few counseling session with them since they are ex war prisoners."

'That was a great idea, could you tell my brother when he is free that the people are actually descendants of the Founding Green Dragon Clan.'

"I will."

'Ohh did Azurite and a group of people from Ignis arrived?'

"As a matter of fact they did."

'Great I want Dante couple a few of the soldiers of Ignis with the those who came from The Sun Kingdom. The soldiers already agreed to it, because I told them I had trust issues.'

'Now I'm going to give you guys more work.'

William sighed "What did you bring home this time?"

Marika laughed 'Ohh it's not much, I saved a few soldiers who technically committed treason.'

"What did you say!?"

'Well to tell you the trued there was a small situation here…'

There was a knock on the door and William gave permission to enter. It was Azurite and Luca.

"Well now that your student and brother are here maybe it would be easier to explain your plan." William said.

"Hey sis, so what's up?"

Marika explained the situation of the soldier who will be send over.

'I want you do give Azu a crash course in psychology. And while you're at it let Kevin in on it too, he is smart and since he wants to make a squad of assassins he needs learn the ins and outs of the mind of people.'

"No problem sis."

'Azu are you up for the challenge?'

"Yes teacher, since your brother already suggested to study under him after Genus and by having a glimpse of his expertise I can have a better few on this psychology field."

'Well if there is something you think you can't handle or have a tough time on deciding please ask my brother Luca.'

"I will teacher."

'O and brother if this dust settles I need you to go to the Green Dragon Clan for me, but I'll discuss it with you when that times come's.'

She discussed a few more things with William and was starting to end the call with him.

'Tomorrow I'm at Ignis Kingdom for some relaxing time so unless my kingdom and people are under a big treat, I don't want to be disturbed by nobody.'

"Understood." William replied.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Marika replied that they may enter.

A soldier came to her with the paper work she had asked for.

Marika told the soldier to wait for a moment, as she reviewed it and made some notes she gave it back to the soldier and asked him to send it to William.

The soldier bowed and left the room.

Marika leaned her head on the desk. 'This is so tiresome.'

Then there was a toughed that hit her, 'Ohh I promised Richard I would teach him something.'

She went out of the office and asked a few guard where he was, they told her they will escorted her to his study room.

As she arrived she heard a familiar voice, but the sent she smelled made her hesitant to get in there.

And whispered 'I can't deal with this…'

Just as the guard knocked on the door, Marika told him to tell Richard to come to the training grounds and ran away.

The guard totally baffled and perplexed by her action entered the room.

"What is it?" Richard asked the guard.

"Well that's… Her Majesty wanted to see you but she just bolted off."

"Did she say anything before she ran off?"

"Yes she asked me to tell Your Majesty to meet her at the training grounds. And before that I could vaguely hear her whisper something."

"And what did she whisper?"

"I can't deal with this, but the rest was too low for me to hear."

"Alright you may go now."

The guard bowed and left the room, the guard was worried about Marika so he went to the training grounds to find Marika.

'It seems she noticed my presence.' The female doctor said to Richard.

'Well it's not completely bad for her to run away at this point, knowing what could happen if she walked in she redder avoid it. But it could also mean there is a possibility she now has taken two steps back in her treatment.'

'I'll talk to Genus about what happened just now and see where he wants to go from there.'

Richard nodded.

'By the way Your Majesty, I heard she was fine with a nurse in Ignis Kingdom.'

"Yes, it seems she remembered the nurse from the time she was in the hospital."

'Don't worry all too much Your Majesty, even if she had taken a step back or two, it would be gained easily again.'

A few guard saw Marika running towards the training grounds and all noticed her distressed eyes.

As the guard that had fallowed Marika asked the other guard to fallow him.

When they arrived they saw Marika sitting on a bench trying to calm herself down, but she seem to have a hard time. For some unknown reason she was tormented by her memories of the past.

One of the soldiers called out to her "My Queen!" and threw her a pair of swords.

Marika looked up and caught the pair of training swords.

They all knelt down, "Even though we don't know what is bothering Our Queen, we believe that moving your body is a method to help relax the mind."

Marika smiled at them.

"We know we are no match for Our Queen, but even so we wish to help you ease your mind even a little."

'Alright! Let me see what you have and I'll advise you on some useful trick's.'

Back at Richards office Genus had arrived.

"I don't think she took a step back, I think a memory that she buried deep down started to surfaces."

'A memory?'

"Well she only showed us the tip of the ice burg, and she slowly showed us more and more. Although the worst thing we know that happened to her, isn't necessarily the worst thing that actually happened."

"But the only person who knows how to deal with this without damaging her mind and process is her brother Luca.""But considering how her day was today, one stressful situation after another could have easily put her to the point that her bucked was full and you were the trigger to get the bucked to spill."

"Let's see how she is doing at the moment, if she is fine then we don't have to worry much, if not we need to get her brother here."

'Then I leave it up to you, because I don't want to trigger her again if she is fine.'

Richard and Genus both agreed.

"Where is the little girl?" Genus asked.

"I was told to meet her at the training grounds."

"Alright, let's go there then."

Marika had assessed all the soldiers skills.

'Well all of you have a good sense, but there is still a lot of room to grow.'

The soldiers looked happy.

'Although this may seem something boring or even unnecessary the thing I'm going to teach you can actually help you guys in multiple ways.'

Marika looked among the soldiers who could withstand her blow the best, and pointed at the guard who brought her over to Richards study room.

'You come over her, prepare yourself because my strike is going to be full force and I want you to block it.'

The soldier took a defensive stand and readied for her strike.

Richard and Genus arrived and saw Marika was training a few soldiers. Genus said to Richard to not call out to her and just observe her for the time being.

"She currently holding practice sword's so worst case the damage she could inflict is a broken bone."

Marika struck the soldier and he barely managed to block her strike.

Alright keep that feeling in the back of your mind, and sit down on the ground.'

The soldier did what she ordered him to do.

Now place both hands on the ground and close your eyes, and relax your breathing.

The soldier relaxed his breathing and Marika signal to the other to be absolutely still.

She walked around the soldier a few times and through his hands he could feel the vibration that Marika was putting out on the ground.

Then she told the soldier to do the same thing again but now standing up.

The soldier fallowed her instructions again.

When she saw his berating was calm and his sense were high she struck at the soldier and manage to block Marika's strike with ease.

She then asked the soldier 'So what was the difference in my two strikes?'

"I think the last strike you held back."

'And what if I told you I didn't held back?'

The soldier looked at the others and they all nodded "She really didn't held back."

He then looked at Marika "Huh… but how?"

'Easy it all depends on the way you breath, if your breathing is calm you can be more aware on your surroundings.'

'Of course if you can master this you can even notice an opponent in the pitch black dark.'

'By calming your breathing you can even last longer on the battle field.'

'Honestly my teaching method may seem boring but I don't rely on brute strength, because that wil only last for a few minutes. In order to face long battles I rely on calmness and my senses.'

'And the best part of it, by learning this technique it can branch of too other technique's.'

'So before you start any sparring match what I want you guys to do is breath calmly get your mind in a relaxed state and treat ever match like your life depends on it. But don't rush it, it takes time to master any skill.'

Marika the saw Richard and Genus standing to the side.

'Richard are you ready for two new tricks?'

Richard walked over to her, "So what are you going to teach me?"

First I'm going to teach you the advanced version of what I taught them.

'You're going to read vibration of your opponent that means you can't rely on your ears or eyes.'

Richard closes of his sense of hearing and seeing. He mapped out the whole area and where all the people were standing.

Marika saw that Richard was ready so she started to attack him. But to everybody's surprised he was able to block every attack and knew she was coming from every time over and over. Marika smiled.

'Alright that enough, I'm impressed you picked it up so fast.'

She then said to the soldiers 'This is an very advanced version of training your senses.'

'And your king already mastered sight, smell, sound, and awareness, he could advance like this.'

'So if he trains this, he still could fight even if he were blind.'

'Now for the other thing I'm going to teach you I need you to watch me closely.'

'Just so you know, having two sword with you doesn't mean you have to be a dual wielder and I show you why.'

Marika took the long sword from Richard and told two soldiers to attack her, one from the front and the other from the back.

As they did Marika trusted the sword in the ground and evaded there attack's by pulling of a handstand on the sword and drew a second sword to hit both soldiers before the even could react to her move.

'Always remember a weapon is not a tool, but an extended part of your body.'

Suddenly the sound of clapping could be head and a heavy build man walk over to them.

Marika whispered to Richard 'Who is he?'

"He is the training instructor for the soldiers" he whispered back.

'Ohh is that so…'

She looked at the soldier who started took a little nervous.

When the man finally was near Richard and Marika, he bowed and greeted Richard, but looked arrogant towards Marika.

"So little girl, you thought that teaching my soldiers was allowed?"

Marika rolled her eyes, 'Well technically they are not your soldiers but the soldiers of His Majesty.'

Richard and the soldiers had to keep the laugh back.

The instructor didn't expect her to even rebuke at him.

"Still little girl, teaching the soldiers something useless will only…."

'Useless, for what I have seen here everything they have been teaching is useless, and besides are you even going to tell me that I shouldn't teach Your King a few moves?'

'Alright then… Let see how you fair against my students.'

Just as Marika spoke the sentence an arrow came flying over and landed at the feat of the instructor.

Dante was standing in front of Marika and asked her while pointing at the instructor "Is he going to be my opponent?"

Marika nodded.

Dante was unfazed by the man who was standing in front of him.

'Since this is training you can't use real weapons, and the same goes for you little brother.'

"But sister…"

'Kevin, I know your archery skills are top notch but your dagger skills needs improvement, your basically still weak when it comes to close combat.'

"Alright sister if you say so, but I have improved a lot since the last time."

Marika patted Kevin's head, 'You should spar more with your older brothers, especially Luca, he is excellent in battle magic so he is an expert in long-range combat and can hold his own in close combat.'

'Just because your opponent looks big doesn't mean he is an extreme threat.'

'Just remember, the bigger they are…'

"The harder they fall" Dante and Kevin said in sync."

The instructor looked at Kevin and Dante and said "These two are your student's? They will be blown away by on strike of me."

Marika rolled her eyes again and said to the soldier 'You should never ever be over confident, underestimating your opponent is a death warrant.'

'Well mister meat sack… one on one or two on one?'

"Your students can come at me together, since it will be over in a few minutes."
