181. Off the Mountain. *

We woke with the sun the next morning still catching some of the early chill.

Moritz, Lucian, Alexander escorted Petra down as we broke camp and cleaned up.

" Dad..today..

Her father cut her off.

" Yes princess..you can resume training..repeat the rules please. " - he held her in his arms and held up three fingers.

She needed a second.

" No more jumping kicks. " - she closed on his finger. " Never keep injuries a secret..and um.."

She closed the second but was lost for the last one...since it was a test within the test...She shot me a look asking for help.

" He is messing with you sweetheart..there is no third rule. " - I said before her head exploded.

" Dad! " - she grabbed his head.

" What?..it was too see if you payed attention..alright fine. " - he relented. " But take those rules seriously...next time, there will be punishment involved. "

She looked suspicious. " What kind of punishment? "

He was bluffing but, I was there to save my husband.

" We color your hair vomit green for a week..aunt Nifa can do it while you sleeping. " - I didn't even had to look to see her horror.

Everyone has a least favourite colour..mine was pink.

" Fine..no jumping kicks, no secrets. " - she said defeated.

Smart girl..

Zephyr ferried back all of us on by one it was like a 20 second per person trip.

I was standing in the middle of the now empty Pen.

Last night we had quite bit to drink, Lucian and Alexander showed me where Emet fell and where Zephyr was found. I saw the sun fully calming the skies when, I heard him return.

[SWOOSH]

" Ready? " - he wore the now returned armor he picked up Friday.

" Hmm..you look great. " - I walked up and around him examining him from all angles. " What did Penny and Olaf say? "

" They manage to save it and they working on our own versions now...tomorrow, I'll send people towards Malai to get everything needed. " - he said.

He pulled me close and rested his back on the side of the gate.

" Meanwhile..you go and help the girls decide on the flags colour, we need it for the armour. " - it was hard to concentrate with his hand all over my body. " ..and apologise to Isa for the dress. "

" Me?.. It was you whhhmm. "

He shut me up and after a few seconds he stopped at the best part. " I gotta go..do as you been told, wife. "

Fuck..I loved it when he ordered me.

" Hmph.." - I was horny now and he stopped my advancing hands.

( SLAP )

" Behave yourself...and let it go.." - he pulled away after slapping my behind and adjusted his pants which, I bet they felt very tight now. " ..I need to move otherwise, I won't be back. Later, I'll have you..all of you.."

" Is that mean? " - I asked hopefully.

He smiled and nodded as my hand grabbed his shapely ass.

Hell yeah..tonight, I can see him squirm..and then he will hurt me ...hopefully all night.

" Get the oils..and check in with the Monroe's, tell Veila, I need her tonight.." - he licked my neck suggestively making it hard to pay any attention. " ..don't slack off with your training...I love these. "

He knelt down and kissed my abs he enjoyed so much..

" Understood? " - he looked up with a smile.

I looked down on his lustful expression and was ready agree whatever he wanted just to continue..but he stood up after seen me nodding.

" Jerk.." - I stepped away and took a few calming breaths until I felt him behind me.

" Ready? " - he locked his hands around me.

I looked around one more time. " Hmm.. Hurry back.. no excuse this time. "

I took a deep breath and heard him whispering.

" Yes ma'am. "

Then my surroundings blurred and we left the Pen.

——

He dropped me off front our house and after little more teasing of my breast he left...

" Jerk..." - I said, walking inside after adjusting my underwear.

Inside there were only a few.

Just mother with Carlos resting in front of the fire and Eli talking with Demelza and Liz.

" You look red Sisi.. don't tell me, you two.." - Eli made some lude gestures when seen me heading towards them.

" No..dimwit. " - I walked over and sat down. " He be back by tonight after talking to Carlos grandmother...how's our new residents Lizzy? "

She looked much better with red hair and Norman loved it as well..in fact there is barely any brunette left aside from Demelza, who didn't dye it because Alexander would divorce her.

" They are a quiet bunch.. and constantly looking for Zephyr but, nothing noteworthy. They need time to assimilate. " - she said.

" Hmm..we going to have too check in with the Monroe's and see where they lacking...and Eli, tell me what colour you and Nifa ended up choosing for the flag? " - I looked my sister since Nifa was away somewhere.

" White and black...it seems simple we just can't decide on the symbol. Why? " - she explained while pouring some water for herself.

" Zephyr wanted to know for the upcoming armor.. he will send men for leather, iron, tools, cloths and whatever else is needed in the days to come. " - I explained.

I couldn't wait..I saw us standing side by side in matching armor ..doing something innocent..somewhere..Can't wait.

" We're going to have matching armour..I can't believe despite my many years of telling my Alex to give up on his dream of soldiering..we both end up becoming one. " - Demelza said with a nostalgic look her face.

Taking about soliders.

" Carlos how is your man doing? " - I turned towards the happy couple near the fire.

" I checked them just a few minutes ago. " - he looked behind his shoulder. " They enjoy some downtime and rest. I sent the first rider back with some useless news to Malai to satisfy the Lord, hopefully he will return with news. "

" Zephyr should be back by tonight..100% this time. " - I said with a confidant smile.

The date.

I had no earthly idea how it works for royalty. How long they wait after engagement...Zephyr mechanics forced them to Dharma for the reunification and the engagement party tied together but will it be next week or next month?

" Where are the others? " - I asked the girls at the table.

" Alexander and Lucian off training with the men, granny went back to sleep with Metill, they were tired. " - Eleanor named the missing ones and counted on her fingers. " Cintia and Nifa are supervising the children, the rest are working, building or something else. "

" Alright then..let's visit the Monroe's.." - I got up and the three followed.

Walking out the house, I prayed for my mother to have the decency, to have sex at her own house..if the situation should arise...but, I was her daughter..so it was probably a pipe dream.
