Trouble seem to be everywhere

"Alright I get your husband, maybe he can get you to spill it."

'No! You can't do that, the kids of the village are visiting him right now…'

"While you never seem to have a hard time to defile my ears and mind with your comments about it, why are you silent all of a sudden?"

Marika sighed 'Well…it's not that bad really, I fall in and out of heat once every few days, seriously it not that big of a deal, because it can all be traced back to the operation anyway and…'

Genus stood up and slapped Marika on the back of her head.

'Hey…what did I do to you!'

"Well it is a big deal, every time you let it pass and do nothing about it's bad for your body!"

'But I can't act on it, now that the kids are here, I just need to bear with it and let it pass…'

"No way! Let Dantis or William take care of them for a few hours, you need to get this out of your system right now!"

'But…'

"No buts, your body is already in bad shape and the longer you let it go on the worse you will get. I tell your husband and he will arrange for someone to watch over the kids for a while."

Genus called for Richard and told him somebody had to watch the kids for a few hours.

While Genus was making the call Marika again felt itchy and tried to hid it, but Genus picked up on it.

"What did I tell you, it's getting worse, even I can smell your scent now."

Marika stood up after hearing Genus say that, she got frightened and feared he would come on to her.

Marika rushed out of the door but was caught by Richard.

'Let me go!, Let me go! Don't touch me!'

"Sweetheart it's me."

Marika saw Richard but noticed some man were looking at her.

Marika's eyes turned slightly in disgust 'I don't want to be here…Why are they looking at me like that?'

Richard looked over his shoulder and saw what Marika saw and he sended out a body

language of his possessiveness over Marika.

"Sweetie they won't dare to lay a finger on you as long as I'm near you."

Richard took Marika inside of Genus room but Marika didn't dare to get close to Genus at the moment.

Richard didn't think much of it and let her be "Sweetie you're not allowed to run away and leave this room, do you understand."

Marika nodded and she kept her eyes on Genus, because she didn't trust him near her at the moment.

Richard and Genus sat down and started to talk.

"What's the problem?"

"Your wife told me she falls in and out of heat every few days, but she has been suppressing it, all the signs are there and it is negatively impacting her body, looking tired, mood swings, nosebleeds and dizzy spells."

"And by the looks of it, her body is nearing its limit."

Richard turned around and looked at Marika "Sweetie why didn't you tell me? You know I would have helped you."

'That's because… I didn't want you to be tired out and…'

Richard stood up and walked over to her.

"Darling…are you fearing that I would get bored of you and your body?"

Richard teased her and started to touch her.

Marika started to lightly pant and nodded.

"Hmm, I don't think that will ever happen…"

Richard had her pinned at the door and started lick her neck and bit down gently.

"Because you taste so sweet I can never have enough of you."

His voice sounded heavy and soft and Marika slowly started to drown in his sound and her desire for him started to well up. His voice and his touch were making her go crazy.

The scent Marika was emitting made Richard to crave for her even more.

Richard then kissed her passionately.

"Are you still able to suppress it my love?"

Marika shook her head, as her eyes told Richard she wanted more.

He smiled at her and picked her up.

"You know what to do."

Genus nodded and Richard left the room with Marika in his arms.

When he arrived at his bed room he put Marika on the bed and placed a barrier around the room.

When he got back to bed Marika pulled him on it and started to undress Richard.

She took the lead in everything but when she was hitting her peak she was keeping her voice down.

"Nobody can hear you accept for me" He whispered to her.

Marika stopped holding back her voice and all her moans of pleasure she let out.

When she came down Richard switch places with her because he knew she was far from have her fill and would want more.

Richard kissed her passionately and all over her body as he was at her sensitive sport Marika let out one loud moan after another, and reached her peak again.

Richard looked at her she still wanted more.

Richard entered her deepest part of her and Marika let Richard know she want him to move.

"Sweetie never hide from me when you're in heat no matter the situation.

Marika nodded submissively because she want him to move in side her.

Richard changed her position so he could reach even deeper inside her.

Marika was drowning in the pleasure and was very vocal about it letting him know she was enjoying it, and it was music to his ears.

After 10 minutes they both reach their peaks and came together.

When they came down from their intense activities, Richard kissed her.

"Are you alright?"

Marika nodded and kissed him back.

Richard picked her up from the bed and took her for a bath, when they were all clean Richard told Marika to stay in the room and rest up.

"You have been so busy with the kids the past six days."

"I send Genus over to have a short check on you and then take a nap."

Before Richard left "Sweetie whenever you are in heat, you come directly to me no matter the time of day."

'Even when you're in a meeting?'

"Especially when I'm in a meeting." Richard smiled.

Marika walked up to Richard and gave him another passionately kiss.

"Be a good girl and rest up."

Marika nodded and Richard left the room.

Richard found Genus.

"You go and check on her body, but I do advice you to be careful."

"I know."

"If you can't get in the room, just lure her out of it, but I did tell her you would come and check on her."

Genus nodded.

Genus knocked on the door and waited for a response.

Marika opened the door and let him in.

"Is it really save for me to come in?"

Marika nodded.

Genus stepped inside and Marika was calm and her usually self.

Genus sat down and so did Marika.

'What are you here for?'

Genus saw Marika was fine "Checking on you, you still look tired"

He checked her pulls and blood pressure "You seem to have cooled down."

Marika grind 'Of course I have, after the amazing sex with Richard I'm good for a few days.'

Genus looked at Marika but didn't react to it because he was used to it by now.

"Little girl, I have two questions for you, one is why did you guarded up against me before your husband came, and second why are you not behaving territorial now?"

'Well for your first question, that's because I don't want to be touched by other man, Richard told me that my scent was very strong and it could attract unwanted man. And since I was in a closed space with you and you said you smelled my scent I was afraid you would jump me.'

"Well your husband did you a solid on telling you that, not that I would jump you or anything but I'm not that weak minded. Plus I don't want to be murdered by your husband."

'As for your second question, I don't see a reason why I should be territorial right now, Richard isn't here so…'

"So just because he isn't here you're not territorial?"

'Well last time, I was on edge because I got disturbed in my sleep and somebody was trying to do something to me in order to get to Richard.'

"Fair enough…But what would happen if I were to get in the room after your sheet play with your husband?"

'I don't know…maybe I would attack you…well highly likely I would attack you, unless you are a child under 18 years old, I would attack anybody as long as Richard is in the room with me.'

Genus stood up and patted her head.

"I'll keep that in mind, and you just do that; attack people who set foot in here, you have every right"

Marika smiled and nodded.

She then started to yawn a little.

"Take a nap, your husband should be just fine with the kids." Genus stood up and was at the door ready to leave the room.

'Genus…'

"What is it?"

Marika had fallen asleep when Genus turned around.

"Well you can tell me later."

Genus brought her to the bed and covered her up and left the room.

Richard was spending time with Lisia and Brandon, he took them for a tour.

"King Richard, is big sister alright?"

"She is, she wasn't feeling well so I stayed with her till she calmed down and saw the doctor."

'I she sick?'

"No, she was stressed out a bit because of that woman."

'I would also be stressed out if many woman would flock to my man.'

Richard laughed a little.

"So what did you do while I was away?"

'Emely gave us some snacks and played with us.'

"She told us she worked her a few days a month and studies in the library when she is not needed. But she also helps out the others servants whenever the other servants are busy and run errands."

'She told us that she didn't really know what she wanted to do in the future, but that that was alright for now, because the perks of being young is that you have the time to think about it and to explore all kind of things.'

"She is right, the future is something that is not there yet."

As Richard and the kids were resuming their tour, Richard was attacked from behind by little Marika.

'Big brother!'

"And what are you up to little assassin?"

Little Marika giggled a little 'I'm on my way to the training grounds to practice my sword art.'

Little Marika saw Lisia and Brandon standing and walked up to them.

'Hi I'm Marika, I'm the little sister of Yumaria.'

Little Marika was energetic and friendly towards the two of them.

Lisia and Brandon introduced themselves.

Little Marika took their hands and pulled them with her.

'I'll be kidnapping them for a little while.'

Richard chuckled a little "You know kidnapping is a bad thing to do."

'I know, but sister is at the training grounds right now and they can see her train, I thought they would like to see sisters fighting skills.'

Richard was thinking how much time had passed and he calculated that she probably had only slept for 30 minutes.

'Let's go there, I want to see sister fight.'

'Right… she is super strong.'

Lisia and Marika left the man behind and rushed over to the training grounds.

Brandon sighed a little.

"What's wrong?"

"Well since Lisia is the only little girl in our village and play with us she took over a lot of our habits we boys have. I sometimes wish that Lisia would act more like a girl than a boy."

Richard started to laugh.

"Well your big sister is far from acting like a typical woman."

"But that isn't a bad thing."

"But if Lisia keeps acting like this…."

"Brandon while there are men in the world that would like women to be weak and fragile, there are also men out there that like strong and smart women."

"Lisia is still young, and you saw little Marika she is not that much different from her elder sister. Lisia may outgrow her boyish behavior. But if she doesn't than that is how she is and you have to accept that Lisia will become a strong and independent woman."

At the training grounds she was testing the skills of the soldiers who she was training for some time.

Little Marika walked up to her training instructor 'How long has she been sparring with him?"

"They are at it for 45 minutes pip squeak"

Little Marika kicked him playfully.

"Your such a violent little girl."

'You are still an idiot who won't listen.'

And they both started to laughed

Lisia was looking are Marika sparring with the soldier.

15 more minutes passed but Marika claimed the victory.

Marika stretched out her hand and pulled the man up.

'You did very well, just keep this up and you'll be able to stand longer against me next time.'

"It's all because of Our Queens teachings."

Little Marika ran up to Marika 'Sister can we spar a little?'

Marika saw little Marika and she then looked at the training instructor but he shook his head.

'Alright… little sister you get your weapon ready and I'll go over to your instructor and asked why he shook his head just now.'

'Yes sister.'

What's the deal with you shaking your head like that?'

"With all due respect Queen Yumaria, but she get frustrate easily if things don't work out as she had planned and then starts to lash out."

'Ohh…'

Marika was thinking for a moment.

'What do you normally do when this happens?'

"We stop her training right away, and give her an earful, and then she has to sit down and do her breathing exercise to calm herself down."

Marika thought they handled it just fine, the discipline they used on her was the right way to go with little Marika.

'Did you tried to find the root of her frustration?'

"We tried to but she won't budge, we even asked Emely if she could try to get her to open up…"

Richard and Brandon also had arrived and saw Marika was discussing with little Marika's trainer and little Marika getting ready for her sparring match with Marika.

Richard noticed something about little Marika aura.

"This is not going to end well."

"What do you mean?"

"You see the girl on the training area?"

Brandon nodded.

"Well I think your big sister already noticed this but her younger sister is going to be in a lot of trouble once she start her match."

'Alright I get it, even if she doesn't want to say what's wrong I will get it out of her and you look closely how I will do that. And you use it next time she will be like this again.'

The training instructor nodded.

Marika gave the training instructor her necklace and bracelets.

'Hold on to these for me, and you better not break them or everybody in this world will be in big trouble.' 

Marika entered the area and looked at little Marika.

'Were is your weapon?'

Little Marika looked at Marika 'You want me to use a real sword?'

'But what if…'

Marika cut herself and showed little Marika her magic.

'I won't get hurt, and I heal easily anyway so there is no way your damage will faze me.'

'And I as a teacher have one rule during sparring matches with my students.'

'Treat it as a real fight and don't hold back.'

Little Marika picked up her real sword and Marika took her stance.

Little Marika start the attack but was blocked easily by Marika and this happened over and over.

Little Marika started to get frustrated.

'You said to take it serious! But why aren't you doing that?'

'Why are you holding back!?'

Marika smiled 'I'm not holding back at all, your just to weak.'

Little Marika got angry and even more frustrated. She then used her magic to restrain Marika so she couldn't move.

Dante came over to Richard and looked at his sister who was having a match with little Marika.

"This won't end well."

"Your right, but this will be a good lesson for her as well."

Dante nodded and kept on watching the match.

Marika was restrained by the arms and noticed she had room to move in.

Little Marika charged at her but Marika dodge her attack by jumping up and doing a back flip. When little Marika turned around Marika already had cut herself loos from the restraint.

Marika then looked at her little sister 'Why are you so frustrated?'

Little Marika didn't say a word and started to attack again.

Marika blocked and evaded every move that was made on her.

Marika sighed a little.

'Then tell me, why are you lashing out on other people, when your frustrated?'

'If you don't tell us why you are frustrated we can't help you improve or find a solution to the problem.'

Marika was still blocking and evading every attack.

Marika was fed up with her attitude and decided to end this.

'Little sister, I give you to the count of 3 to answer me, if you still keep quiet, then I'll make sure you will not receive any training anymore and I'll send you to Cinis.'

Little Marika was still attacking and didn't give Marika an answer.

'1… 2… 3…'

Little Marika still didn't answer, Marika made a move but was stopped by Lisia.

'Lisia… What do you think you're doing?'

'Big sister let me talk to her, and when she calms down she can apologize to you and tell you what's bothering her.'

Little Marika was ready to swing her sword again and Marika saw this, she pushed Lisia out of the way and blocked the attack. Marika then was furious and slapped little Marika so hard she fell to the ground.

Marika's killing intent was raising and Dante jumped on to the training ground.

Little Marika looked at Marika shocked.

'What the hell is wrong with you!'

'You tried to hurt an innocent little girl!'

Dante ran up to his sister and stopped her from landing another slap on little Marika.

"Sister calm down, she is just a little girl."

Marika looked at Dante furious 'So what she is just a little girl…she consciously choose to hurt an innocent person who was trying to help and defend her!'

'Even if she is a child she choose her actions and she will get the consequences of those actions.'

Marika looked so angry she turned around and walked over to Lisia. 'I'm so sorry about that Lisia did you get hurt anywhere?'

Marika was concerned that her action had hurt Lisia.

'I'm fine big sister just a little scrape, if I got hit by that sword then I would have had a wound much worse than this.'

Marika healed Lisia and helped her up.

'Dante bring her to Ignis and show them what just happened here.' Marika gave him a recording stone. 'Tell Cinis to give her a good lecture and let Canus join in that lecture too, because if it were me you know what my judgement would be.'

"Yes sister."

Dante helped up little Marika and took her away.

Lisia felt guilty because little Marika was send away.

'Big sister… this is all my fault…I shouldn't have…'

Marika shook her head 'This was bound to happen sometime, and it's better it happens now then 10 years down the road, now she will get off with this type of punishment, if she were an adult she could have easily be send to the dungeon.'

'And since we caught on to this this early in her life, we can help her fix this mistake and help her grow in a steady adult.'

Lisia nodded 'Yes big sister.'

Dante first went to Henry and told him what had happened.

"What did you say!"

Henry looked at his daughter in shock.

"Yumaria send her to Ignis, so Prince Cinis can give her a lecture."

"Alright… I think that's a good idea, it's better than to go to prison."

'But daddy… I…'

"No but's! You should be grateful to your big sister, if you were in the human world you would be put in some kind of institute and when you are old enough they would put you in to juvenile detention."

"You go to Ignis and reflect on what you just did, you almost severely hurt an innocent person!"

"Yes daddy…"

Dante told little Marika to pack up her thing "And don't try to escape, because if you do, sister will be so angry that nobody can help you then."

Little Marika nodded and started to pack up.

After a few minutes she came back and said goodbye to her father.

'No cheating on your food.'

"How can I cheat on my meals when the cook are cooking my diet."

Little Marika gave her father a hug 'I'm sorry daddy' she whispered and left with Dante to meet up with William.

When they arrived William looked at the two of them.

"I already got informed about it."

William looked at little Marika a sighed a little "Well I hope this will do you some good."

William opened a portal and left with the two of them.

[Next day]

Richard took the kids in to town, and Marika went to the mansion to see how Owen and Vita were doing.

Marika arrived and was met with Solis running up to her and hugged her.

Marika was shocked by this 'What's wrong?'

"Thank god you home mom…"

Marika who was in shock because of her eldest behavior, saw Caelum run up to her as well

"Mom!"

Caelum also hugged her.

'Oke you two what is going on?'

Suddenly Marika heard a two loud screeches and saw Khai, Regina, Nova and Derick running out.

"Mom!"

"Marika!"

'No hugging!'

'Dad what the hell is going one?'

"Owen and Vita are throwing a fit and are destroying the mansion, because you were busy for 6 days, and now that Master is out..."

'Alright…' Marika sighed a little.

Everybody get behind me when they come out.

After a few minutes Owen and Vita came out and saw their mother.

Everybody got behind Marika.

Owen and Vita came rushing up to Marika, and she transformed in to a dragon and let out a loud roar as a warning and whipped her tail up and down.

Owen and Vita stopped dead in their tracks.

'Owen, Vita what did I tell you last time.'

Marika changed back and walked up to Owen and Vita 'In two weeks mommy is off to war and won't be back for a year.'

Owen chirped and head butted Marika 'Owen be good and go with your brothers to Mystic Mountain, you will be protected and can grow up safely.'

Now Vita started to do the same. 'Vita I know your mad, but there are people who need my help.'

Owen and Vita kept head butting Marika.

Slowly tears started to fall down from her eyes. 'I know your mad at me but, I'm not abandoning you guys, it's just I'll be away for a long time, I'm sorry…'

The pain she felt for being separated from her family and friends hit her hard, she felt like she had to let go of them all so they would ne save.

Solis knew how much she was hurting inside and hugged her.

"Mom… I know how much this hurt you, but when they are a little older they will understand, I'm sure of that."

Luca who was watching from his room was relieved to see Solis consoling her and she was calming down.

Owen and Vita noticed that their mother was crying and started to nuzzle her.

They were saying they were sorry, and that they would listen to her and go with their brothers.

[Next day]

Marika was up early, because today she planned a banquet for all the common people of The Moon Kingdom and Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi.

The cook's and students from Ignis arrived and so did the cooks, from Richard castle and Mystic Mountain.

Marika welcomed them inside the mansion, and discussed the menu with them.

'Well you guys don't have to cook anything fancy, but you can cook any signature dish if you like.'

'Maybe some appetizers should be fine, since small amounts of food will fill up a person fast because they tend to eat more.'

"That's a great idea, and then there will be less food wasted."

Marika then took them to the kitchen and showed them a make shift out door kitchen.

'I hope you can coop with this…'

The cooks were amazed by what Marika had prepared and got some good ideas with the menu.

"This is just fine, we can make some grilled foods with this…"

"Let's use the inner kitchen for the boiling and the outdoor for grilling and backing."

Marika smiled.

As the cooks were busy preparing, Marika and her brothers, children and father set up the rest for the party.

The refugees of Queentia who stayed at the northern mansion were also working on their end.

When the evening hit everybody was done and slowly the guest were arriving.

Richard and the villagers arrived also.

Marika smiled at the sight of everybody having fun and enjoying the party.

Everybody came over to her and congratulate them on their engagement and thanked her for allowing them to celebrate in this manner.

Marika smiled 'Well as you know by now I'm a queen who walks with her people.'

The kids of the village ran up to her and hugged her.

'Big sister you're the best.'

"Thank you big sister for believing us and show us the way."

"Kids…don't be rude, you're talking to…"

Marika cut off the elder of the village 'Remember, you guys are the future of our kingdoms and you have the power to make a bright future for yourselves.'

The kids nodded.

Then a few kids from The Moon Kingdom came up to her.

"Dragon fairy queen."

Marika saw the boys and smiled.

She crouched down 'How have you been?'

"We have been well."

"Would you sing for us again when your married to our King?"

Marika smiled 'Sure.'

The boy's than handed her a gift, it was a story book they made themselves.

Marika than sat down and the boy's started to tell the story of a Dragon fairy Queen.

Marika was smiling happily from the bottom of her heart.

Richard saw this and also smiled.

As the party went to deep in to night, Richard saw that Marika had really come to life at this banquet.

As the morning started to arrive all the guest started to leave for their homes again, and everybody thanked them for holding this banquet to celebrate their engagement.

Marika saw them of and knew dat there were only 10 more days were left for her war and thanks to the people she found her resolve to free the clans who are trapped.

She then looked at Richard and he saw there was no doubt in her eyes and she was confident in her ability's.

Now that was left for her was sending off Owen and Vita, and marry Richard.
