Maculata was working with Ouran when a beautiful bird entered the window of the office of the Queen, she looked up, the bird was flying in circles, it lands after on her desk.
"Penzilvana is eating more than she could chew"
Maculata had an amused look on her face, she then stands up from her desk, Ouran looked at her with a questioning expression.
"What is the matter, your majesty?"
She lowered her hand and the bird jump on it.
"Inform the Duke of Bijoux as well, go"
The bird flies off and exits the office, Maculata calls for Shadow.
"Your majesty?"
"Prepare the carriage, Shadow, as well as my bow and arrows"
"Yes, your majesty"
"What...is going on?"
"You come as well, Ouran, but first I need to change"
Maculata went to her room, Ouran just waited in the office. Maculata changed to her hunting outfit which consist of fitted pants, a white dress shirt and a vest, her haired tied in a bun.
She went back to her office and Ouran was surprised, he stands up and offers his arm to the Queen.
"Let's go"
They went outside the Palace, the carriage already waiting for them, Shadow is also waiting for them and Reymond.
"Shadow and Reymond, watch the Palace while I'm gone this won't take long"
"Have safe travels your majesty"
Ouran helps her enter the carriage before he also got in, Ouran couldn't help but stared at the Queen.
"You look so charming, your majesty"
"This is a hunting outfit, 'The Hunt' won't occur till Autumn it's still a long way before that happens"
"May, I take your hand?"
The Queen looked puzzled and gave her hand to him, he kisses her knuckles and smiles at her.
"I am honoured already seeing you in this outfit your majesty"
"..."
The Queen blushes, she retrieves her hands and coughs looking away.
'Stay cool-headed'
"Good for you, Ouran"
"Do I see a blush?"
"No...!"
"Hm, do you also blush at the other suitors?"
"What do you mean?"
"It pains me that you also show them this side of you"
"You are very bold with your words, Ouran"
"A strong woman like you needs strong words to wear down your walls"
"So that's your plan...is this also the plan that you have discussed with the other suitors, Ouran?"
"Maybe...?"
"Hmp, I will not be swayed so easily"
"Actions do speak louder than words, what do you think, your majesty? Would you like a bit of action?"
Ouran went towards the Queen trapping her in his arms, the Queen looked back staring wide-eyed at Ouran.
"Well?"
He looked liked a hungry predator, the Queen raised her hand and pushed Ourans face back, Ouran just chuckles but then the carriage jumps.
"I apologise your majesty, there was a bump in the road"
The Queen was on Ouran's chest, because of that bump, and the momentum of her push on Ouran's face.
"It looks like you are making the first move, your majesty"
The Queen was annoyed, she is the Queen, that mean even in this courtship she needs to be in control, she pulls back and pushes Ouran down onto the seat of the carriage.
"I'm in charge, and I am in control, Ouran"
"I see..."
Ouran was amused, even though the Queen said that with confidence, her face is very flushed.
"If you do not know what to do, then you can tell me, I could lead what happens next"
"N-No"
The Queen got off of Ouran, frustrated, Ouran sat up again, shrugging shaking his head.
"I'm a little disappointed"
"Hmp"
'As it should be, the men shouldn't take the lead, I should, I need to be the one in control of their emotions'
"Why don't we continue, this later, in your bedroom?"
"No"
"Alright, but practice is a must, you're a little sloppy, your majesty"
"Shut...up"
"I am just saying"
"You have more experience than me?"
"Men have this instinct to lead, your majesty, since you do not have any, why not learn...?"
"You are seducing me"
"Does it not work?"
"No"
"Well, no rush since we are still in the early stages of courtship...but then again, will the others also touch you, like I want to?"
"Stop with the dirty talk already, Ouran"
"I apologise, if I am making you uncomfortable now"
Ouran's smile faded, he couldn't resist the blushing and embarrassed look the Queen has, he slammed his hand onto the wall and kissed her.
"!!!!"
"Your majesty, we have arrived"
"O-Ouran...!"
"No man, could resist that expression, your majesty, it's dangerous"
She had goosebumps all over her body, Ouran exits the carriage.
"Where is her majesty?"
"She needs to have a minute"
Maculata touches her lips, she made an unpleasant sound that is muffled by her hand, she groaned.
'My first kiss is Ouran...'
She calmed herself down and finally exits the carriage.
(Stone Monument)
"This is where we had our picnic"
"Yes"
The carriage driver got a box from the back of the carriage and presented it to the Queen, he opens it to reveal a bow, he then lifted the foam part which held the bow to reveal arrows.
"Your majesty"
"Thank you"
Maculata went to the edge of the cliff, looking for Penzilvana, when she spots her, being surrounded with enemies, she places the arrows on the bow.
"You owe me magical arrows once again, Penzilvana, I hope you know this"
She pulled the string back as far as she could, and fired, there were five arrows with, red, blue, black, yellow and green arrowheads, the arrows glowed up in the air and multiplied.
A barrage of arrows rained down on where the Fairy is, the Queen watched as she protected, presumably one of the twin half fairy sibling from the barrage of arrows.
"What an interesting weapon"
"These arrows are hard to come by"
"I can see that"
"The Knights of the Duke also arrived"
"Hmp"
"Is your job done?"
"Yes"
She turns around and went to the carriage driver, she gives the bow back and the coachman closes the box and load it at the back of the carriage again.
"Penzilvana will return to the Palace, shortly after, I know she has a lot of questions for me"
"I guess your work is cut out for you"
"That's correct"
They returned to the Palace once again, Penzilvana, Yella and Maise arrived before them, Reymond informed the Queen that they are waiting inside the drawing room.
"Thank you, Reymond"
Reymond escorts them to the drawing room, Yella had blood on her clothes, Maculata immediately notices.
"Greetings, your majesty"
"Change into new clothes first, Yella"
She looks at Reymond, and he nods, he told Yella to come with him so that she could change.
"You must have a lot of questions"
"I have a ton of them!"
"Alright, let's sit down first"
Yella returned shortly after in a new dress, Maculata told her to sit down, the maids served tea and pastries to them.
"You may ask"
"When you said train, these two brats, you never mentioned that they were fairies"
"You are so slow, Penzilvana, maybe you should pay more attention instead of lazing about?"
"Okay, I admit I didn't catch onto what you are saying, but two treasures of the Veritus Kingdom?"
"The Veritus Kingdom had a deal with your clan, Yella and Maise, a deal to make the Kingdom be lively and vibrant with flowers, this Kingdom had poor soil overall a dead land, but your clan appeared and offered their services, in exchange they can live here and come and go as they pleased"
Maculata drinks tea pausing for a moment, she also ate cookies.
"Really...?"
"All of you are so tense, you should have some snacks"
"Get to the point already...!"
"Being impatient will get you nowhere, Penzilvana"
"There you go again"
"Alright. My previous predecessor, told your predecessor, that they should live here forever so that the Veritus Kingdom will thrive for millenniums to come, they agreed but as time passes by, your ancestors were being against the idea, they thought that they are just being used for this place to thrive, that is why both of you are here, since a part of your clan still uphold the agreement, but then again, your clan is the one that offered it..."
"Staying here and letting this Kingdom thrive with our powers?"
"Yes, that is correct, that is why your mother is there and is not leaving her home country since she needs to do her duties there while both of you stay comfortably here, and uphold the agreement, your blood is the sacred kind. That is why some of your people disagree with this agreement, but it still remains unchanged, you can come and go as you please, the Kings and Queens that have passed, just let you be"
"That's very kind of you"
"We trust that you will not break our agreement with each other, in exchange the Pearl of the Orient and the Veritus Kingdom is still in good terms"
"Our moms a hero"
"By the way, what is your decision?, regarding this information?"
"Now we are asking!"
"We still need time to process this"
"Take all the time"
"Maise come on, we are fairies, we should train"
"...I am still in shock on what happened and this information, can I have the time to process all of this Yella?"
"...Okay"
"Once you have decided go to Penzilvana"
"I'll take good care of you!"
'I doubt that'
Maculata drinks her tea, looking at Penzilvana, the fairy groaned.
"I'm not forgetting don't worry"
"Good, I thought I needed to tell you"
