The next day, Zeran and Ru were now done proving their succulent love for each other. They were now dressed in their majestic signature clothing and they were standing upright ready to depart. Not only that, Ru was covering herself with her full fledged cloak. Though, Zeran noticed that her clothes were ruined beyond repair, so it made him to feel a bit worried. Ru noticed his worry for her, so she knacked out a confident smile esteemed of an elegant Goddess. She brushed her clothes with her flawless hands and snapped her fingers up high. Suddenly, glittering dusty lavander lights encroached around her. Her clothes looked brand new without any sign of having any damage at all, as the lights swirled around her body. More than that, her wounds and scars all around her body had disappeared aswell. Zeran was amazed, as he saw her dazzling stunt. Then, Ru grabbed some kind of camera from an advanced world at the corner that says "Fae's" in its body. Ru grabbed it in a snap and she wore an interested sinister smile on her face, as she had a nice idea in her mind. Soon, Zeran offered his hand to Ru, such as he was a formal prince inviting a princess to dance at the ball. Ru was astunned by his elegant manner, making her to blush and touch her lips with her lady-like fingers. Soon enough, she took his offer and gave out her hand. As soon as Zeran felt her hand, he grabbed her hand. He pulled her hand up high and twisted it such as he was waltzing her in an unsuspecting way, turning Ru to move her body in the jive with a surprised look and fall from her balance. Though, he caught the twisting princess from her back. Suddenly, he lifted her like she was a princess on his strong arms, making her to feel more embarrassed and flustered than ever before. Her face was steaming like a red hot tomato while she was covering her face, although Zeran didn't mind Ru's reaction. A little while later, they had left the dungeon. Afterwards, they got out of the castle and they walked outside. Lots of citizens noticed that their former king Zeran was carrying the dark Goddess Ru like she was a charming princess. As expected, the citizens were shocked, although their very looks were even more horrified, since Ru was holding the fresh decapitated head of Queen Fae's. Soon, murmurs and scarring revelations were heard through their worried mouths,
"Is that the Queen's head?!",
"No...this can't be...and she was killed by the former king?!",
"And is that the evil Goddess in his arms?",
"Did he conspired with the evil Goddess to overthrow HIS FORMER WIFE?!",
"HOLY GODDESS ANGEHIME! HAVE YOU FORSAKEN US?!",
"WHAT WILL BECOME OF OUR KINGDOM?!",
The remaining knights weren't taking any aggressive action but, they were all protecting the helpless citizens, since the knights were still wary of the two. Zeran just sighed and didn't look-like a horrifying villain. He just continued to tread along the stoned paths while he was lifting his princess. Though, he still says with a stressed look to Ru,
"Say Ru...why'd you have to bring the b*tch's head?".
Ru wasn't embarrassed anymore, as she replies like an innocent girl,
"Well Zera, it's to taunt away some people especially the castle guards and knights alike, from us coming out...".
He comments back,
"But they aren't the only ones who are afraid..."
"Really Ru..."
"Out of the weirdest things you've done...by far, this is the weirdest one...".
Ru wasn't sad, as she heard his depressing comment. Instead, she felt glad and her ears twitched with excitement. Then, she replies back like a thankful maiden filled with sweetness, while her tail was wagging,
"Ara? Really Zera? Thanks for the compliment...".
She gave him a sneaky smooch on his cheek afterwards. The citizens weren't happy and they were even more scarred throughout their lives on what they have seen through their eyes, since they were seeing the loving couple, as the villains of the said story somehow. Soon, Zeran says to her with a subtle embarrassed look, since they were displaying some kind of public display of affection,
"Geez Ru...we're in the public...".
Though, he was wearing a relieved smile when he received her kiss such as he received points of praise from his weird princess or Goddess. Ru just giggled after she heard his cautious words. She looked at the li'l girl who was cowering in fear behind her mother's back. Ru knacked out an evangelizing smile that wasn't filled with any kind of sinistry of an evil Goddess yet instead, her smile was somehow you'd expect from a holy/light Goddess that would soothe anyone's heart. The li'l girl noticed Ru's radiant smile. Soon, the li'l girl wasn't scared anymore and looked fascinated by the Goddess Ru, without any hint of mind-control or anything evil. Ru turned to look at her chivalrous Zeran and asks,
"Oh yeah and Zera...how long until we get to the plaza?".
Zeran replies,
"Just a little longer...".
Though, his thoughts were deeper in sense,
("Yeah...Ru has an idea...somehow...").
He turned to his left and saw a burly man puked out rainbows from his regurgitating stomach fresh from his morning breakfast. Zeran had seen what he shouldn't have seen, making him to wear a horrified and disgusted look. Thereon, that putrid memory will be forever engraved in his mind for eternity. Later on, Zeran and Ru arrived at the plaza. The plaza had a fountain pond but, there were no fishes swimming, since there was no water to begin with. Instead, the fountain was dried up of its waters and it had rich overgrown plants sprawled around it instead. He let her stand near the fountain. A lot of people gathered around and they were having strange murmurs all around. The atmosphere became tense that would make anyone nervous. Soon, Ru exhaled and brought out her divine arms and said in a bold voice,
"Ahem...as you all know, the former king Zeran beheaded the Queen Fae..."
"Although it wasn't to take back the throne or anything like that by conspiring with me...the dark Goddess..."
"But, only to save me...".
Sadly, the townsfolk didn't believe Ru's words, since they were seeing her as a sinister and vile dark Goddess due to their mindset. In fact, they looked even more suspicious of her. Agony was boiling amongst them. Ru didn't mind their raging reactions, instead she continued to state her powerful words,
"As some of you don't know..."
"The queen held me captive due to feeble reasons..."
"Yet Zera saved me in the end..."
"Also if you were wondering if I was telling a lie or not..."
"Here are some of my, well...being abducted pictures...".
She blushed bright red and she fidgeted looking very embarrassed later on. As the cue was set, Zeran snapped his fingers high into the sky. Suddenly, numerous pictures of Queen Fae of torturing the shackled down Ru in chains fell from the sky, showering the townsfolk with flowing paper. The people had seen hard evidences that it's their queen Fae in the pictures, making them to believe Ru's words. Ru nodded as the first phase had commenced. Then, she continued to tell more,
"Not only that, Zera wasn't the one who cheated and betrayed his former wife the queen, rather it was the QUEEN herself...".
He snapped his fingers again, although Zeran looked away when he was about to see something that wasn't very much appealing. The next moment, scandalous images of Fae being very intimate with her several lovers had drizzled down from the sky, making everyone to be shocked on what they had set their eyes into. The women looked very much disgusted for their late queen although, for males they looked sorta entertained but, they were convinced that the queen was the real cheater, since Queen Fae was fond of taking pictures of herself using some otherworldy image capturer bestowed by the light Goddess. Afterwards, Ru held her chest and says with all her expressive heart and feelings,
"Zera was just framed by her tricks..."
Then, she changes her pose to a lighter one, introducing some kind of idea, as she uttered out her words such as she was a travel guide,
"Also, since you don't have any ruler..."
"Why don't you all choose and vote for a better leader?"
"Don't worry...Zera or me won't participate in this...or cause anymore ruckus...".
Soon, she went near Zeran. She let Zeran's shoulders feel her flawless hands. She wreathed around him like she was a dazzling maiden to his eyes. Then, she says with a soft voice aided with an endearing smile, while she was looking at him,
"Since...well, we'll be both busy loving each other...".
She tilted her beautiful face subtly. Zeran noticed that she was giving him a passionate signal. He had second thoughts, since there were a lot of people around them but, their looks weren't filled with rising suspicion. Instead, their faces were filled with interesting smiles for his next reaction. Though, he just didn't mind their oggling eyes. He took in her signal. He embraced her tight and gave her direct kiss that was very romantic to see, even though the two of them were the fallen hero and evil Goddess. In turn, Ru lifted her right leg and closed her eyes such as she was a teenage little girl astunned by the kiss. Zeran also shut his eyes while he was feeling Ru's lips filled with warmth. The two of them were in their own passionate trance once again, making them to ignore the eyes of the people. Though, the citizens face were filled with soothing sensations, as they had seen the two lovebirds, making some of them to utter out,
"Awwwwwwwwww...".
Soon enough, rising speculations were heard from the crowd about the late queen, the fallen hero/ former king and dark Goddess,
"Wow ! To think the evil Goddess herself saved the former king and proved the truth...",
"Yeah, I already had a gut feeling something is wrong with our queen Fae when the guards became strictrer, as she imposed those strangling laws after the king was banished...",
"Psssh yeah...she even gave me an offer to her bedchambers at night but nope, I'm loyal to my wife...",
"So you two noticed it too huh...",
"Nahh...it was the Former King who saved the evil or dark Goddess and proved the real things that had happened...",
"Unusually romantic I'd say...".
Zeran opened his eyes for a mere moment, since he saw Cyron and Sheena safe and sound by the distance amongst the crowd. He noticed that Cyron gave him another thumbs up again, since they were both successful on their objectives. Though, Cyron also knacked out a confident smile because, Zeran got Ru as his amazing reward for all the feats he had done. Zeran replied with a smile. Soon enough, he continued to kiss his dark Goddess Ru. Thereon, wooings and whistlings were heard from the male crowd, such as they had seen a couple proving their love to each other. As for the female townsfolk, they were applauding since, they didn't like Queen Fae's regime nor her character. The guards and knights weren't wary of them anymore and instead they rejoiced for the upcoming reconstruction of a new regime. After sometime, Zeran and Ru had left the kingdom unscathed. They were now treading along the peaceful and calm woods basked in the morning sun that was letting out rays of sunshine to bestow upon them. Zeran was holding Ru's hand, while the both of them were moving gracefully along the soothing winds,
He was in his thoughts a little while later,
("Really...Ru's a truly amazing woman...").
Soon, he looked at her. In turn, he blushed bright red again and the atmosphere became tense, even though the two of them proved their sensitive love for each other. Then, he said, while he was feeling nervous, since he felt grateful for what his Goddess Ru had done for him,
"Say Ru...that had to be the most amazing thing you've done yet..."
"You even helped me to clear my name..."
"And wow...to think you have the confidence to flaunt your love for me in the public...".
Though, in his thoughts were quite deeper in interest, oozing with carnal delight, that would seem he was very much satisfied of Ru's passionate services for him recently,
("Not to mention...she's amazing at making love...even though it was her first time...")
("And...why does her scent still smell so good?")
("Though, I could say...her scent became more intense after that...").
Thereupon, Zeran wasn't the only one feeling tense and sweaty, since Ru felt flattered beyond contempt, as she heard his over the top compliments. She looked-like a girl who wanted to hide herself, while she was in her fidgety thoughts,
("Geez Zera...you don't have to tell me that...you're embarrassing me...").
Though, soon enough, she opened her mouth, while she was feeling kinda awkward,
"You too Zera...".
As they were still walking without any hint of monsters or devious menaces to crush their relaxing moments for each other, Ru twisted in front of him and held both of his hands. She looked at him with her sparkling eyes aided with her twitching fluffy ears. Zeran was dumbfounded for a second. Soon, she let out her words filled with shyness,
"Zera...I know this sounds like a rush but..."
"Could I ask you to help me upon saving my friend Mai?".
The air became still and silence shrouded the whole place. As he heard her worry for her dear friend Mai, he closed his eyes and he was convinced in his thoughts,
("I guess...she still sees Mai as her friend...").
Though, Ru witnessed that Zeran looked very stern and doubtful in his thoughts, making her to wear a frown. Her foxy ears and tail looked so down in disappointment too. A little while later, Zeran opened his eyes. He gave her a nice smile and said,
"Okay...but how?"
"You know he's really Overpowered even by the standards of high-ranked heroes...".
Ru's ears twitched and her pleasing smile was back, as she heard his optimistic words. She held her other hand, while she was thinking inside her thoughts. Suddenly, she hatched an idea, making her to prove an interesting pose. Then, she said,
"Let's summon a QUEEN SUCCUBUS!".
Zeran was surprised once again, making him to say with his eyes wide opened,
"Wait...EHHHHHH?!".
She replies,
"Come on! It'll be fun!".
Ru didn't mind his reaction and she ran along the place, while she was holding Zeran's hand, as if she was a very excited teenage girl. Since Ru was holding his hand, he was also dragged along by her. Strangely enough, he was also relieved that Ru was back to her energetic weird self. The two lovebirds looked like a new brand of fresh couple eager for some kind of excitement. Though, Ru was in her deep thoughts, while they were breezing along the winds,
("I hope this'll work...")
("We'll save you soon Mai...")
("My only friend...").
