chapter 12

Was this man even serious ? He took Emmy without my permission made the whole castle go in panic mode and I blamed my for something I didn't do wrong. I was then shocked when he moved close to me and then put his hand on my cheek which shocked me.

" I missed you" he said and then wrapped his hands around me and then tightened his embrace as if if he released me I would disappear.

At that moment Emmy burst into tears as she was in the middle of us and then he released me.when I looked closely at her I was shocked beyond words" wings? Emmy you have wings" I said in great disbelief I was surely dreaming as I was a magicless fairy and now I have a baby who had wings and then my suspicion came through I was indeed a dark fairy a race of fairies which had long been considered a myth as so far only one fairy had been a dark fairy the mother creator Karin.

In the books she created the lands and then had 16 children her first 12 children were the founder of the fairy race and all had the powers we fairies posses today and the other children she had were all demons and her twelve children vanished them to the underworld .

Fearing that their mother would cause harm with her other offsprings she was killed and she cursed the land and then created seven sins which would cause harm to their mind and heart of all beings and she promised her faithful followers to come back when the world needed her most and with the help of her children she would save the world.

And now looking at my little baby girl and thinking about the others I will soon have to bear the burden of the world together with their mother made my heart ache.

" Dehlia are you okay you look pale" Ares said as he looked at me with tender eyes that gaze that ever been directed at me by my mother made me feel strange .

After feeding and putting emerald to sleep I and Ares sat opposite each other while we sipped tea.

" So care to explain why you took the kid " I asked Ares

" As I said before cause I felt like to and besides I am her father can't I take her in my arms even when I haven't seen her in six months" he asked and I saw him smirk at me

I felt a slight headache come up to my head with the things I confirmed and him taking the kid and then asking me to drink tea with him this was too much for me " no your mom that's not what i meant as i said please befor you take her please inform me so that i eouldnt worry"

" Maybe" came his dry response and I felt like to punch him" and can you care to explain the name you gave her?"

" Name" I questioned before I placed the teacup down and glared at him" as you know your magesty you never talked to me about a name you fancied before the war started and then the day I was giving birth you left for war and did you expect me to leave her nameless till the day the war ended of cause not ,we fairies are named immediately after our birth if not it will cause bad luck. "I explained and then his smile dropped and that made me happy and I continued explaining " emerald means precious and treasured baby while Margaret was from your mother which means Pearl".

He then stood up with a dark expression and moved up to me and grabbed my face and said "listen up girl " he said looking at me straight into my eyes "you seem to have gotten comfortable while I was away so let this be clear to you, you are no one in this empire and you are just a mere tool to give me heirs ,your not allowed to be happy in this empire or do you want me to torture you again for you to know your place" I shook my head and I began feeling terrified I had oversteped my boundaries and I dont want him to get me pregnant again or hurt Ashtyn and with this thought tears started pouring out of my eyes "so please maintain your place" he then let go of my face and moved to the door and added " in a week time a banquet would be organized to welcome the envoys of the babarian kingdom so we can draft out the peace treaty so as not only my wife and the empress of my empire amd one of the royals of the fairy kingdom you will be by my side so be prepared to be part of the debate and you will make your debute in the high society in thisbanquet"

" Yes your magesty " I responded in between my tears with my response he left my room and I slumped to the floor I knew I wasn't allowed to be happy all my life has been full of misery and now I am stuck here with this monster and untill I give him twelve heirs he will never let me or my family go but would i be able to leave my children emerald was my life and i cannot imagine my life without her or her future siblings

After crying a bit I walked over to emerald's little bed and took her into my arms and I cuddled her and fell asleep.

***********

This morning I decided to go to the library in the capital as most of the fairy kingdom books where brought there I need to find out more about the dark fairy but there are two problem first emerald and second I needed permission from Ares.

After much thinking I came up with a plan

" Ila" I called out and the maid entered and bowed to me" please prepare me to go out I want to be dressed in commoner clothes " I said

She moved to me and started doing her work " are you going somewhere your magesty" she asked and I responded " we are going to the imperial library"

" Should we also prepare miss emerald" I shook my head and said " I won't be going with her today but ask Candace to prepare her things as she would be spending time with her father today"

What a sweet way to get revenge emerald is as clingy as glue so when I would leave her with her dad he won't even be able to calm her down.

After preparing everything I made my way to Ares's office with sleeping Emmy in my arms and Candace holding her things when I arrived i told the gaurds to inform him of my presence and he then left me in

" Greetings to the sun of the empire" I bowed to him

" What brings you here Dehlia " he asked still focusing on the documents in front of him" I came to seek permission to go to the capital " I asked him

" Granted " he said and I then said" would you like to lot after Emmy while I am away this would be good way for you guys to bond " I then signaled to Candace and she handed the bag to Joseph and made my way to Ares and placed the baby in his arms and as soon as she was handed over to him she opened her eyes and stared at me and at Ares I then leaned closer to her and gave her a kiss on her forehead and said" I would be back my pretty baby " and then I gave Joseph a list of things to do with Emmy today and then said" thank your magesty and please refrain from giving Emmy to another person than assistant Joseph " I then left and just as I stepped away from the office I heard Emmy scream and Ares called out to me" dehlia come back here " but I ignored it and moved out side with my two maids Ila and Candace and we entered the carriage and made our way to the imperial library where most of my answers are
