Time to trample on some snakes

Early in the morning both Richard and Marika came together.

Richard was getting out of it all and saw Marika under him panting heavily.

He felt guilty he had put her through this the whole night.

'Honey, don't look at me like that.'

Richard gave her a kiss "But weren't you suppose to…"

'Yeh but that is tonight…I already send out a message.'

'Now let's sleep for a bit.'

Richard laid down next to her and held her tight.

Marika fell asleep instantly and so did Richard.

A few hours had past and Genus came to check and noticed it was silent.

He saw the both of them sleeping and check on both of their body's.

Everything looked fine so he left.

Richard had noticed Genus come and go and went back to sleep.

Genus went to Dantis and reported that they both were sleeping and Richard was back to normal and Marika wasn't hurt.

"It's not that he can physical hurt her anyway, because she will heal up instantly."

"Don't disturb them for any reason, because if not Richard, then Marika can turn territorial and hostile."

"If there is something let me know, I'm heading off to Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi."

Dantis and William nodded.

William opened a portal for him.

Genus arrived and met up with Luca.

He told him what had happened yesterday.

"Humm…well your right he can't physically hurt her in that way, but it can be mentally draining for her."

"That's true but when they returned from the lake she didn't seem tired one bit, and before she was dragged away again by him she said she was 3 time worse than he was."

Luca's jaw dropped "That's too much information for my ears."

Genus laughed, "Welcome to my world of ear defiling comments from her."

"But I check on their body's when they were asleep, Richard was back to normal but your sister…"

"Is there something wrong?"

"Well it looks like she is changing when she will be in heat, meaning she is changing it to match it with Richard."

Luca's jaw dropped again "Is that even possible…"

"Well it's not entirely impossible for her do so, because she had her first operation."

"Humm, now that you mention it…"

"As long as it isn't harming her then it should be fine."

It was already late in the afternoon when Marika and Richard slowly started to wake up.

'Are you sore anywhere?'

"Only my back is a little aching."

Marika healed up Richard and he felt the warmth that was coming from her.

When she was done he didn't feel heavy anymore and his back ache was gone.

He kissed her and hugged her "Aren't you tired?"

'I feel fine, I slept for 11 hours so…'

'Let's take a bath dress up and eat before we go.'

Richard got the bath ready and came back in to the room to get Marika, but saw she was staring at the door intensely.

The maid knock on the door 'My King, My Queen I brought over some towels and a change of cloth, I'll leave it at the door.'

"Thank you, you may leave."

'Yes Your Majesty.'

Richard walked over to Marika and patted her head "Don't worry, they won't come in here."

"Genus had probably already warned them."

But Marika wasn't responding and kept her sight at the door.

Richard stood up and walked over to the door to get towels and cloth from the other side of the door.

Richard opened the door and wanted to pick up the cloth when a sword came flying in to his direction and went right through the wall.

Richard looked behind him and saw Marika was pulling another sword and did it again.

Richard then heard someone grunting in pain.

He looked on the other side of the door and saw a women pinned to the wall by her sword and the other sword made sure she couldn't swing her weapon down wards without getting her own arms cut off.

Marika walked over and drawing another sword.

When Marika was at the door she was stopped by Richard,

"Sweetie are you planning to walk out like that?"

Marika looked at Richard with a murderous look.

Richard was calm and handed her a towel.

"Nobody is allowed to see your body like this."

Marika smiled at him and wrapped the towel around her.

Richard also did the same and the walked out to the attached living room.

Richard looked at the woman who was pinned to the wall.

"Sweetheart you created nice wall art."

Marika swung her sword, but was stopped by Richard again.

"While I do love watching you kill, she is a daughter of a minister in the palace. I want to know why his daughter is here."

'Emely are you still there!?'

A little girl around 12 years old came in to the room and saw the woman pinned to the wall.

'What can I do for you My Queen.'

'Do you know who her father is?'

'You want me to inform the minister of warfare?'

Marika nodded 'Tell him to wait here in this part of the room and he is not allowed to free his daughter, if he so much as touch the doorknob to our bed chambers he will lose his life.'

'Yes My Queen.'

Richard saw Marika was calm towards the young girl and not hostile at all.

'Since it will take a while before that bastard is here let's take our bath.'

Richard kissed her and carried her inside.

Marika and Richard were taking a bath and Richard asked her.

"How did you know there was somebody there?"

Marika whispered 'Well… I smelled scent coming from the other side of the door. You saw Emely right, I told the servant's I only allow young children near or in the room since I don't see them as a threat. I explained that I get very territorial when we have our moments of passion. So no matter man or woman if they are an adult the possibility of me attacking them are very high.'

'I also taught Emely how to notify me if there was a possible threat or an adult in the room next to the bed room.'

"You taught her by knocking didn't you?"

Marika nodded.

Richard pulled Marika in his arms and kissed her.

"I should ask Emely to let me know what knock means what just in case."

Marika smiled.

'Well for now Emely will be at our door until she is 18, after that she needs to teach a new child, but gender isn't a problem to me as long as they are under 18 years old.'

"As long as my servants can be spared in this way and you feel comfortable it's fine by me."

Richard and Marika were relaxing and enjoying their bath when Richard noticed somebody had arrived.

"It seems the bastard has arrived."

Marika and Richard were drying themselves off when Richard spotted the doorknob was moving.

"Open that door and you are dead!!!" Richard was angry and gave his threat to the person on the other end of the door.

'Sir, I told you you're not allowed to enter that room, unless you want to die.'

The man let go and looked at Emely.

"Who did this to my daughter! Speak!"

'Sir can't you tell by looking?'

Marika heard the conversation between the minister and Emely and she knew the minister would lose his temper soon by the way he sounded.

Marika was fully dressed now and changed to her 7the stage.

The man grabbed Emely by the throat and demanded to tell him who did it.

Marika lost her temper and rushed out of the room and attacked the minister.

Richard let her go because there were two thing that drove Marika to this state, one was because of how the minister acted in their territory and two he was mere moments away from strangling a child.

Marika bit down in the man arm and he let go of Emely, he wanted to hit Marika but she blocked him and kicked him in to the wall.

Marika rushed over to Emely and checked on her.

'Emely are you alright?'

The girl was coughing and gasping for air.

Marika healed up Emely's throat.

The minister who got kicked back in to the wall lash out to Marika.

"You whore!"

Marika was done healing Emely and told her to go to Richard .

Marika then turned around and faced the minister.

'What did you call me?'

'How dare you call the fiancé of your king a whore!'

The man had a good look of Marika and knelled down and begged Marika for forgiveness.

Marika then grabbed the man by the throat and started to suffocate him.

'Since you finally realized who I am I will give you back what you did to Emely, since she is just a 12 year old she doesn't have the strength to give you an eye for an eye.'

"Emely you seemed very calm about everything, normally a girl of you age would be scared stiff, by seeing a person pinned to the wall like that and a man being strangled."

'Your Majesty if I may speak freely.'

"You may."

'My sister works in the palace for 5 years now, and when Her Majesty told my sister and the other servants she would not allow adults in this wing sometimes due to her behavior, my sister asked if a child would be alright?'

'Her Majesty told them if it was a child under the age of 18 it was fine. So my sister told Her Majesty about me and if it was alright to meet with me first.'

'Her Majesty agreed to it and so we met and we talked a lot, she told me that when she gets angry she can be very scary and that there would be times that I would see people get hurt or killed in front of my eyes. But if I was afraid of it, it was fine and don't need to take this job.'

'I told her that it was fine because when I grow up, I wanted to become strong just like her.'

Richard smiled at Emely.

'Her Majesty also told me she won't attack unless she gets attacked, and that she will harm those who harm me.'

'And that being strong doesn't necessarily mean physical, it could also mean mentally.'

'And that by doing this job she also told me when I'm not needed I should head in to the library and study for my future.'

Richard patted Emely's head "You'll have a bright future that's for sure."

Marika let go of the man 'You are wasting our time, me and my husband have somewhere to go and your slutty daughter is making us leave late.'

'Darling??? Do we need trash like him in the palace? Because I know at least 5 people who can do a better job than him.'

Richard left Emely side and walked over to Marika.

"Sweetheart why don't you go with Emely and make something to eat, we still need to eat before we head out, and tell Dante and Arthur we are running a little late."

Marika hugged Richard and gave him a kiss.

'Let's go Emely.'

Emely walked over to Marika and bowed to Richard, 'Then I'll be taking my leave now Your Majesty."

Richard nodded and saw the two of them leaving the room.

"So to answer your question it was my wife who pinned your daughter like that."

"But Your Majesty isn't this too much?"

Richard looked cold and murderous at the man.

"To much…you all have been told to not enter this area and not to disturb me and my wife for any reason."

"So here is the question, what is your daughter doing here?"

"From what I see, she came prepared to kill my wife, but I was the one who opened the door and she almost cut me down with her sword if my wife didn't do what she did."

The man looked horrified at Richard.

"So tell me what is your daughter doing here?"

"I wish I could answer to why my daughter is here, but I don't know."

"But I beg Your Majesty to spare her life…"

"Spare her life…you want me to spare a person who almost got your king killed?"

*knock, knock*

"Master I heard there was a patient."

Genus came in and saw Richard was about to lose his temper.

"What are you doing here?"

"Well your wife told me there was somebody in need of medical attention."

Richard pointed at the woman and Genus walked over and saw the woman standing in her spot. He then checked the other side of the door and saw how the sword that was impaled in the women's body was aligned.

"Our Queen really has a neck for mortally wound a person."

"Even if we are able to pull the sword from her, the shock can kill her, and if she manage to survive that she will be useless in the end, because she will never bear a child in her life, even if we were to heal her reproductive organs the poison in her body will prevent her from falling pregnant."

"My condolences minister."

Richard smirked.

"And don't bother to ask if there is an antidote, because there is none for this poison, Our Queen made this herself, and knowing her she made it in such a way that even the best herb specialist and medical doctors will need years to crack this to make an antidote."

Marika and Emely came back in to the room with food for Richard

'Why are they still here?' Marika sounded annoyed.

Marika placed the food on the table and pulled Richard to his seat and told him to eat.

"My Queen, you made my job difficult, by impaling that woman to the wall like that."

Marika looked at the minister 'Genus I trust you informed this trash about the situation.'

"I did."

'I hope you have a coffin ready because if she doesn't die from this…I sure as hell kill her if she tries something again.'

Marika walked to the other side and pulled the first sword that blocked off the attack, then she pulled the sword that was stuck in the woman

The woman fell to the floor and Genus check on her, she was still breathing but barely alive due to the shock.

Genus asked a few guards to carry her to the medical wing.

Marika then turned to the minister of warfare 'You better not think about plotting anything against me, because when it comes to it I am smarter and stronger, and only death will await you at the end of it all.'

'I let my husband decided on your punishment, when we return from our business trip and here are some words of advice, do not try to beg me for forgiveness because I won't give it. Because if it was me, your head went flying the moment you were strangling a child.'

'Guards!'

Two guards came in to the room, "Yes My Queen."

'Take this trash and bring him where he came from.'

The guard bowed and took the minister with them.

'Emely, could you tell the servant to clean this room and fix the wall? We will be back somewhere tomorrow.'

'Yes My Queen.'

Richard was done eating and stood up.

"Let's go my love, we still need to get the intel we need."

Marika nodded.

When they came out of the castle Dante and Arthur were already waiting.

Marika and Richard both transformed and Marika put Arthur and Dante on her back and the took off for Ignis.

[Night Fall inn]

Marika arrived at the inn and heard a commotion inside.

'Would guys please stand at the side for a moment.'

The 3 man stood to the side and saw Marika was kicking down the door.

As the door was down she saw the people who were causing the commotion.

She let out a killer intend and walked inside.

'Didn't I tell you bastards to never return here!!!'

All the man who she had kicked out before had band together and came to make a mess.

Marika instructed for all the people to get to the back of the inn.

"Yume please be careful…"

Marika the changed in to her 7th form and started to come down on all the man.

'I told you, you trash should never set foot in here ever again, now you'll pay the price for it.'

Richard peaked inside and saw Marika was fighting the man and breaking their legs, when she had done that she threw them out.

Richard told Arthur and Dante she was in a very, very bad mood now.

As they were waiting; one after another was thrown out with their legs broken.

The agonizing screams could be heard throughout the district and a group of soldier together with Canus came to the inn.

Richard saw Canus "What are you doing here?"

"Well one of the man you were supposed to meet came to castle and informing the guard that Yume's favorite inn was under sieges and she was teaching them a lesson."

"Alright…but you know she doesn't need help from the guards with that."

"True, but there are still people in there and the guards are going to the back of the inn to help them to get out, and wait till she is done."

Another man came flying out of the inn and almost hit Canus.

"HEY! YUME WATCH WHERE YOU THROW THEM!" Canus sounded agitated.

Marika looked outside and saw Canus.

'Sorry brother!' and she head a playful look on her face.

Canus then signaled for the soldiers to go around to the back and help the people to get out.

As the soldiers moved out Richard and the others were watching how Marika was beating them up and breaking their legs.

After half an hour she was still not done and the people who were in the back came out safely.

Everybody was watching from a safe distance how she was hurting the man.

Another 15 minutes past and two more came flying out.

"Yume stop toying with them and finish up already, if you keep going like this you'll be late for you appointment." Canus yelled at her.

'Brother don't be such a stiff like brother Cinis!'

"Yume if you don't finish up in 10 minutes, I will call my brother over to fix your bad habit's!"

Marika flinched a moment and hurried it up.

Richard looked at Canus "She actually fears a scolding from him?"

"Well it more like a lecture…you have no idea, once he starts to point out your bad habits and telling you how to behave your head starts to spin."

"It's the most annoying thing there is, me and Yuma hate it so much that we use it at each other to threaten each other with it."

"So you use me as leverage for each other to keep each other in check?"

"Something like that."

"Good to know that I hold so much weight on the two of you."

"Sure brother…but we are just using you so…"

Cinis slapped the back of Canus head, "Maybe I should give you another lecture very, very early in the morning."

Canus flinched at his brothers words.

Richard laughed.

Marika threw out the last few people and came outside.

Cinis looked inside and was surprised to see the damage wasn't that bad.

Marika walked over to the owner 'Here is the money for the damage I created, but I really tried my best to keep it at a bare minimum.'

'I broke your front door, 2 tables, 4 chairs, 6 bottles, 12 plates 7 drinking glasses. And I shoved it to the corner of the bar, the rest is their fault.'

The owner shook his head "What's most important to me is that you are save and unhurt."

'Owner please… I have a policy; you break it, you pay for it.'

"Alright Yume, but next time please don't pay for others messes."

Marika smiled, 'If you don't like it just use the money to pay for the guest food or drinks, just like the first time.'

The middle age man gave her a hug "You're always so good to us…"

'Didn't I tell you, I like this place and the people, it's worth fighting for it.'

The man patted Marika on the head and went inside with guest and started to clean up the inn.

Cinis then spoke "Yuumee??"

Marika flinched 'Big brother…I really did do my best not to destroy this place and I even payed for the damage I caused.'

Cinis then patted her head "Good girl, you really did good on trying to keeping the damage as low as possible."

"But what did you do to those man?"

'Nothing much, I beat them up and broke their legs.'

"Why?"

'Because I warned them before to never set foot inside this place ever again. Because some of them harassed me in the past and the guest.'

'It's the price they had to pay for not heeding my warning.'

"Alright, now that the place is trashed let's move to the castle."

'But before we go…' Marika ran back inside and told the cook she would be back another time to eat his food.

"I'll look forward to you visit."

"Yume if you see my teacher, can you ask him to come and visit me some time?"

Marika nodded 'Sure thing.'

Marika came out with a big smile. 'Alright let's head to the castle.'

[Ignis castle]

They all arrived at the castle and went in to the dining room.

As they were telling her how only half of the people got evacuated and there was no chance to drug the soldiers and get the rest of the people out. Marika was thinking of another approaches.

'I need clan head Vipera here now.'

"Well that's going to be a problem." Cinis told her.

'Why?'

"Because they became suspicious of him and they holding him at the clan building."

'Can't your father do anything about it?'

Canus shook his head.

Marika was racking her brain on how to deal with the current situation and it gave her an headache. She slammed her head in to the table, what shocked everybody.

'I got it!'

Richard stood up and walked over to her. "Sweetie please don't do that, what if you start to suffer brain damage." And place a kiss on her forehead

'Like that will ever happen.'

'If we can't use the sneaky tactic then just burst down their doors, cause a commotion so people can flee and you 4 will lead them to safety.'

"But what about clan head Vipera?"

'Arthur you go look for him in secret, and when you found him use this and break it, it will send out a scent so I know you found him.'

'Darling we will go there and visit them as angry parents.'

'Dante your with the 4 of them, and Cinis will wait nearby to help the fleeing people.'

"What about me sis?"

'You…you'll be up in the air and when you see Arthur and clan head Vipera come out protect them.'

"But won't that make our clan vulnerable to criticism from the people?" Canus asked.

'It won't.'

"How?"

"I had William do a thorough investigation on the attack on Khai. We have all the evidence that it was the snake clan who is the culprit and what their goal is."

'And of course we have all the evidence on the facility and the experiments they did there.'

"They can't do anything and we already asked your father to make it public once we leave this place."

'We also already recorded a statement that we do not hold The Black Dragon Clan responsible and that the alliance we made will not be affected.'

"You two thought this all up?"

"Well it was our plan B…"

"Then what about the people and clan head Vipera?"

'You'll see.'

'Now shall we raid those greedy and envious snakes?'

[Snake clan]

Marika kicked down the door and this cause a commotion

'I demand to see the head of the clan!'

A young man little older than Marika appeared "I'm sorry miss but our clan head is not receiving any visitors."

Marika grabbed the young man by the collar 'He better appear in front of me right now! Or do you guys want a war?'

Richard entered the room and the young man saw him and broke free from Marika's grasped and knelled down.

"To what do we ow the honor for The Azure Dragon King to visit us?"

"My sweet wife demanded to see the clan head, and so do I, because we demand an explanation for the attempted murder of our son Khai."

Richard sounded cold and agitated.

The young man started to shake in fear but gave him the same answer as he did to Marika.

"Sweetheart kill him and turn this place upside down, you deserve to do this, because they almost killing our son."

Marika gave Richard a kiss 'Thank you darling.'

Marika drew her swords and wanted to strike down on the young man when she was stopped.

"Please spare this child, he is innocent and will be the next head of our clan."

A group of elder and middle age man came into the room.

Marika looked at them and saw a familiar faces.

'You son of a bitch! I'll kill you!'

Richard saw who she was looking at and could not believe what he saw. It was the doctor she killed in the human world. He knew for sure he could never have survived what she did to him.

'It doesn't matter how many clones you made of yourself! I'll destroy them all!'

Marika changed to her 7th form and went in to a blind rage and started to attack the doctor who was standing within the group.

Guards came in to the room to try and stop her but it was no use, she just slashed her way through them all and was dead set on the man.

The doctor smirked, "You can kill me but another clone will surface and with all the memories of the original and other clones you will kill."

Marika cut of his head and hacked the body in pieces.

The other men were horrified.

"You all will suffer the same fate, because you inquired the wrath of my wife Queen Yumaria of Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi."

They all looked at Richard.

"Your Majesty Lunam we beg you, we have no clue what we did to her…"

"Shut you mouths!"

"3 weeks ago somebody of your clan snuck into my palace and in to my study, since me and my wife were away on a trip that man was told by our children to leave the room because nobody is allowed in there."

"That bastard lashed out to our daughter and stabbed our son, who almost died of his stab wound."

"You think we wouldn't find out where the assassin came from?"

"You guys are way out of your league when it comes to my wife's smarts because she had already calculated your moves before you even made them. Your stupidity is on the same level as The Sanguis family."

Marika then sensed a presence coming from the young man, she sensed Lux in him and walked over to the young man.

As she was right in front of him she trusted her sword a centimeter in front of him and crouched down.

'You were born without magic weren't you?'

'You don't hold any magic of your own?'

The young man was shaking in fear and nodded.

Marika turned to Richard 'We need him alive, because he has something that belongs to a guard of mine.'

"You mean…"

Marika nodded 'This idiot holds the other half of the magic that belongs to the guard of The Guardian of the 3 Worlds.'

Marika made a call to William 'William would be so nice as to send the b*tch over to me? And I have somebody that's need to be taken back to Moon Castle.'

Two soldiers came through the portal and with the woman and threw her in front of the group of men.

'Take him with you and make sure he can't escape.'

"Yes My Queen."

A man ran over to the woman and start yelling at Marika "What did you do to her?"

'Me?'

'Let's see… this b*tch took my magic five and a half years ago, and I took it back.'

'As for her mental state…that was not my doing, my friend did that to her.'

"So you are also responsible for breaking my granddaughters magic!?"

'Oh you mean that little sl*t…that correct that was also me.'

"I demand an explanation to why you did that!"

"You took my granddaughters magic and broke the magic of my other granddaughter."

Richard was enraged by the man's word and pulled his sword.

"Darling you don't have to explain anything, because they don't give us an explanation of why a man of their clan infiltrated my castle and nearly killed one of our children."

Marika nodded.

"You think to highly of yourselves and think you can demand something from The Queen of Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi."

"Since you guys don't want to answer for what you did then pay the price."

Richard stabbed the old man and whispered "My wife was right greedy people are blind sighted and stupid."

Richard turned around and turned to the rest of the people who stood there and had watched in horror how the elder was killed.

The woman was enraged by Richard action and wanted to attack him but she was stopped by Marika.

'And what do you think you're doing…trying to kill my husband…'

The woman turned around and saw Marika and started to attack her.

'You b*tch! I'll kill you!'

'Try it but you will die instead of me.'

The woman lunged at Marika but she evaded and stabbed the woman with her sword.

'You have no healing abilities anymore so this much is enough to kill you, rot in hell with this curse.'

The woman died and the people started to fall through their legs.

They never thought that this could or would ever happen, they didn't anticipated that both of them would come here and started to kill the people of the snake clan. The thought they had everything planned out perfectly and that they would blame The Black Dragons.

They all looked in disbelieve at Richard and Marika.

"Why aren't you blaming the black dragons for this? Why do we pay the price…."

"Didn't I tell you before, you're out of your league when it comes to my wife."

'You stupid retards think that something so obvious would succeed… The Black Dragon Clan have an alliance with me and King Lunam, what benefit would they get out of trying to kill our child.'

"But Your Majesty…With all due respect didn't both Kingdoms have attack you in the past…"

'No they haven't, it were mercenary's and snakes dressed up as soldiers from both kingdoms, what struck me as odd because before I wasn't pointed as queen of my current country the land and village was under the watchful eye and protection of King Lunam.'

'After the late Queen had passed and the late king abandoned his mansion, the people went down stream and started up their settlement, lived in peace and took care of the mansion up until my husband started to live there.'
