An unexpected surprise

Xyra's viewpoint

Finally! After days of partying, it was time to get the damn party over with. I won't say the party was lame. The adults attended the royal balls with the king, feasted and made plans or whatever they did to make merry. The young ones, however, ranking from twenty four to below, stayed in a customized planned party. Who ever planned it was a teenager because the parties were lit.

Day one was a sandwich bar party, complete heaven for a girl who loves sandwiches and burgers. Then in the evening, we all watched a scary love movie where everyone got eaten at the end. Day two, we played wood games all day which was so fun for those who liked getting dirty. My beautiful Lula showed those asses that size didn't matter when it came to archery. The girls and I also won a lot of medals because the challenges were more like our regular training back at the cloud castle. Then in the evening, the genius party planner threw a barbecue party.

Day three, we went on a savage hunt, then had a mad DJ Max party. Gosh, it was fun and we had a good dance. I saw the party planner actually, the king's best friend as I was told. He was also the DJ for the first round of dancing before he left. Zeph missed it because her period just had to show up, so April took her to the room since she is bad with first days. She and April stayed back and missed the party.

Day four, nothing much happened in the morning, but towards the evening, we attended a pool party, well, Moira did. Zeph couldn't go, obviously. She found it a sin to attend a pool party and not get in the pool. She started crying when Moira kept talking about the DJ Max party, so I stayed back this time because I was the only one who could calm her down. April had to leave for her private ball for mated couples. That leaves us to day five, the final day. Day six and seven was just to rest or choose to go home.

Zeph was feeling much better. She opted for a sexy 'I'm hot as fuck' black dress with strap heels and hair styled into a glamorous chic low bun with the bun evenly relaxed, loose curls at the front and subtle twisted. to match it. Her makeup was alarming but beautiful. April went for a gold belted sheath dress with her Permed hair restyled into a relaxed high ponytail with voluminous waves and curls. Her dress was pretty decent like the April she was, but she was beautiful. Moira went all out with her own. Even though her black extension hair was a simple side chic French twist with beautiful pin accessories, her royal blue dress and silver shoes screamed "I'm looking for sex" tonight. I tried to talk her out of it, but she wouldn't listen. Just like Zeph, her makeup was a lot for men to handle because it displayed her hotness in a sort of way. Then she decorated herself with jewels and bathed in perfume even though she knew how hard it would be on the creatures with sensitive nose.

As for me, I was the only one wearing a flowing dress. Mine was more like a skirt and top that fit in so perfectly with each other, you'll think its an actual gown. The skirt was an actual 'sweep the floor around me' mermaid skirt with ruffled hem and beaded draw-waist belt. The belt made the skirt and the ruffled multi pearled strap hands look attach. I really loved the grey pearls that formed the straps that stayed over my shoulders and down my arms to my expose back. I wore azure and grey so it would match my eyes. My grey–also–multi pearled strap d'orsay heels could be seen through the layered split at my left side. The shoes was also T-strap and made to be quite high. My makeup was moderate, with hair styled into a loose side knotted bun. The bun rested right above my right shoulder with two wavy pieces stylishly framing my face.

We made our way to the ballroom to get the boring thing over with. No one is looking forward to being in a room with old people talking what we don't know. Well, all except April, who seemed to love the idea of a ball. So while mum was laughing with some women and dad standing behind her like a fucking bodyguard to keep males away from his "property", and April with Lex talking to some betas, the girls and I stood in a visible part of the ball, drinks in our hands as we swayed gently to the music.

Oh, we knew we were attracting everyone, that was the plan. It's not easy to avoid three goddesses in one place. Especially with Moira intentionally flaunting her boobs and thighs.

"So, see any guy that catches your attention yet?" Moira asked me smirkingly. I snorted before taking a sip from my glass. Zeph on the other hand, was fidgeting all of a sudden.

"Zephyr, what's up?"

"Nothing, just this very uncomfortable tingles but I'm fine. You? You don't feel too good either." And she was right. I wouldn't deny that the scent had been bothering Majesty and I since we came. It would keep us up at night, and left Majesty really disoriented for reasons we couldn't fathom.

"There's just something about this castle bothering me, a strange pleasant scent. Do you think it's because of the vision? Or the power of the castle?"

Moira shrugged. "Could be both,"

"Or you being in the home of someone probably stronger than Majesty. You know Majesty hate bowing to anyone so his aura is bending her," Zeph said as a matter of fact. Her eyes moved around before it landed on something. She gasped, "fuck! They have a pastry table here! How did I not see it!" She exclaimed. Our eyes widen as we turned to see the early Christmas gift.

Someone up there love us for this trip. First, all the sandwiches we could eat, and now sugar heaven? We rushed to the table, literally bulldozing people out of the way. My mind almost burst from how many there were.

"So much to choose from, my mind is going to explode!" Moira shrieked.

"I am already salivating, where do we begin?" I cried.

"April, April would kill us if she misses this," Zeph said under her breath, "and she always knows where to start from."

I turned and caught sight of her. "April! Over here!" I shouted, not caring if it wasn't a proper manner. April averted her eyes from the lady she was talking to, her smile still on her face. My shy princess had become more social after attending many meetings as a beta female. "Paradise," I whispered, pointing at the table.

Her forest green eyes turned to gold as it glowed with excitement, startling the lady looking at her. She roughly pushed her glass into Lex's hand, pushed the man in her way aside and practically ran to us. Immediately she got to us, she pulled me into a hug, causing me to laugh.

"So, where do we start from?"

"Something new, obviously!" She exclaimed. Nothing could make her this excited except the thought of eating pastries. We weren't allowed to eat any pastry with sugar more than ten percent. So when we got our freedom and tried the high one, we fell in love.

"That looks delicious," Moira said, pointing at a bubbling fountain that looked like pink lemonade and chocolate. My eyes fell on something that instantly caught my gaze. It was golden with three green circles and lot of rainbow sprinkles. It looked like spudnut donuts but at the same time, it looked like some kind of puffy snack.

"What about that one?" I asked, turning April's head to look at it. She hummed and walked closer to it with me behind her.

"What's this?" She asked the maid standing close to it.

"Our royal chef's special creation, apple lined creamy golden puffs with sweet berry rainbow sprinkles. The sprinkles are rare and another creation of our chef. Wanna try it?" She asked with a wide smile.

"Why not?" I smiled back, grabbing one from the tray. The others took theirs. "Ready?" They nodded. "One bite!" We all took a bite. My eyes widened as I saw sparkles in them, actual rainbow sparkles with gold stars surrounding them. The cream burst out into my mouth and coated my tongue, throwing it delicious unbelievably magical taste allover my taste buds.

A purr of approval vibrated through my chest and left my lips as I closed my eyes and relaxed into the incredible taste. Majesty liked it too because she was moaning with delight. It was the best thing I had ever tasted.

"Fuck! This thing taste better than cum!" Moira exclaimed. I opened my eyes as the maid choked on her saliva. Some people looked at her but who cares.

"For the first time, I agree with you. This thing taste better than Lex's cum. Shit! I feel like getting laid by this puffs!" April shouted too.

"I've tasted a lot of cums, but this one beats them all. Where the fuck have you been all my life?" Zeph added. "Fuck! I'm going to marry this thing so I can eat it for the rest of my life,"

"Yes, I don't mind spending the rest of my life with this baby," Moira moaned as she took another bite. I took another bite and almost crumbled from the pleasure.

"Where is the chef? I want his hand in marriage," I spluttered out. The maid laughed wholeheartedly.

"Sorry, already taken,"

"Does he have a son? Tell me he knows how to make this and I promise him my first born child," I added desperately. The maid only laughed.

"Announcing the arrival of His Royal Majesty, King Carswell Finneas Adrienne R.D. Maximilien, Beta Caesar Payne, and Honourable Chief warrior, Zane Berlanti." I rolled my eyes over to the golden doors that the king ought to pass. That scent had gotten stronger but I didn't notice it earlier because I was in love with food. Not distracted any more, I could perceive it much stronger than ever since I stepped my feet into the capital.

My heart began to race as the doors pull open, throwing me into a confusing state of nervousness. My eyes remained fix on the doors as if my whole life was behind it. The moment the doors opened, the scent came unto me like a gush of wind, forcing me back. I would have crashed on the table if not for Moira. I murmured a quick 'thank you' to her before returning my eyes to the now open door.

I took in a sharp shocked breath when my eyes beheld–if possibly–the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. He was surprisingly dressed in ripped chained jeans, a white shirt which sleeves he folded up to his elbows and a royal gold cape covering his shoulders and flowing behind him. His skin might have been golden tan and again some kind of light caramel, but I knew he was legitimately a black. His mother, according to history, was a black woman. Scratch that, let's talk about how sexy the man was.

I don't know who created him but they did to my absolute perfection! His hair which was milky chocolate with a glamorous highlights of light ash brown, and dark and light copper brown, was left long. I'm not talking man long, I'm talking feminine long and he wasn't ashamed to pack his hair to look exactly like April's, only more curly than wavy with curly strands forming scanty bands. It looked good on him, really, really good.

He wore diamond earrings, cool male earrings that seemed to match his sharp green eyes with silver highlighting it. He was tall, bet you on the muscles popping out of his shirt and open forearms, the abs and of course, the jaw and again, the abs. He was gorgeous, unbelievably gorgeous and too good to be true.

My jaw fell as I watched him walk a little into the ballroom with two guys striding behind him. One was as tall as he was with small light blue eyes, warm beige skin, dark auburn brown hair and a boyish glow to his smile. He was the DJ. The second shared almost the same feature as the king, but with cool ivory skin, sunflower blonde hair, dark violet eyes and few inches shorter. He looked like a serious one and walked like one.

It was like the world stopped for me, stopped for both Majesty and I. Realisation hit us like a giant's punch, really hard. The scent all this time wasn't the power of the king or anything. The vision didn't mean I had to protect the queen. I was the queen.

"Shit, shit, shit!"
