Richard then asked in a whisper "So that's why you needed me and Ray here."
'Yes, it's too much of a considered that those fly's suddenly want to come over and even without permission. On the same day that the White fox clan want's to cross my country to get to The Moon Kingdom so they can wipe out the Black Fox Clan.'
'Plus I got even more suspicious when I was told that thing came to visit me.'
'The only letter I received was Ray's asking for an audience with me.'
'Now let's see what these flies have to say for them self's'
Ray signal to Marika to come over.
"Your Majesty to what do I owe this honor?"
Ray didn't say anything.
'You guys really want to die don't you?'
The clan head was shocked to see Marika appear in front of him.
"What do you mean by that Your Majesty?"
'Well I got word from the Mystic Mountain Clan that you guys wanted to make a visit to them tomorrow.'
"That's correct."
'Old man do you suffer from dementia or something?'
"What do you mean by that Your Majesty?"
'You know very well to inform me beforehand before you set foot in my country.'
'So do you plan to ignore my laws and rules?'
"Of course not Your Majesty…"
'Then tell me where is your letter of requesting permission?'
'And don't give me the bullsh*t you send it, because I didn't receive one.'
Marika looked pensive and said with a smirk on her face, 'Alright I give you permission to come here but not tomorrow, you are allowed to come after 3 days.'
"But Your Majesty it's very important it has to be tomorrow."
'Well that's too bad, you should have thought about it before you decide to just walk in to my country unannounced.'
'Plus if you come tomorrow your disturbing me while I spend my time with my two son's'
'Ohh wait you already did.'
'I recommend you stay there, if you decide to send anybody over tomorrow, then expect dead body's back on your doorstep.'
"I understand Your Majesty."
"I'll draft up a letter of request for permission right away for my visit to in 3 days."
'That's oké you don't have to since I gave you permission, and I'm here for two more day's so don't bother to think to come earlier, because…well you know, only life's will be lost.'
Marika then looked at Ray, 'I really pity you Ray, everybody with a little authority thinks they are the king and think they can just do what they want. Maybe I should visit your county and eradicate those disrespectful people.'
"That's not a bad idea, Ray you should take her up on that offer she really is good at that. She cleaned out my castle not too long ago." Richard said.
The Duke and the head of The Mountain River Clan were completely silent, pulling a stunt like this again and they are dead.
Then Duke Sanguis spoke "Your Majesty Queen Yumaria, I may have come uninvited, but so did The Moon King and The Blood King so why am I the only one who has to face the consequence?"
'Apparently stupidity is inheritable.' Marika sighed.
'Ray tell me what you send me a few days ago.'
"I send a request letter for an audience with you."
'You knew you didn't have to do that since were friends, but I appreciate the thought of it and respecting my laws.'
Marika then walked over to Richard and kissed him. 'As for The Moon King, he is my husband so why does he need permission of his wife?'
Richard looked at Reinel and smirked at him.
'Ray since I'm on a vacation right now let's talk in two weeks is that oke?'
"That's alright Yumaria."
'And can you be so nice and take that thing with you, and tie him and his son up somewhere in his house.'
"Sure thing."
'Ray? Is Sky with you? I have a present for him.
Ray whistle and there was a knock on the window.
Marika opened the window and Sky came in.
'Sky!! Have been well?' As she hugged the big eagle.
Richard and Ray looked how Marika was having a cuddle moment with Sky.
"She really like's Sky a lot, aren't you jealous?" Ray teased Richard.
"Not at all, if I would get jealous over that then I would be jealous 24/7."
Ray thought for a moment and started to laugh, "Your right with all your adoptive children you would be."
Marika place a bracelet around Sky's leg 'It's not too heavy right?'
Sky lifted his leg and nuzzled her saying it was fine.
Sky spotted Solis and Caelum and bowed to them.
Marika then said to Sky, 'You already met my brother Dante, now I want to you to meet my little brother Kevin.'
Marika waved to Kevin to come over.
Sky looked at Kevin and place his head on his shoulder.
After that sky saw Dante and flew up to him and set down on his head.
Marika and Richard started to laughed and said in sync "Nice hat"
"That's not funny sister!"
"But it is… Solis did that to me, and Caelum to your sister."
Marika then spotted something in the corner of her eye and started to yelp out of excitement.
Richard knew she saw something cute again.
Marika walked over to the window and saw 3 young eagles sitting in the windowsill.
The 3 young eagles flew up to Marika and the all set down on her.
when she turned around she said, 'How do I look?'
They all started to laugh.
Marika then asked Sky 'Are these you kids?'
Sky shook his head.
"Sky found them a week ago and started to look after them until they could fly and be on their own. But the three of them seem to fallow him around from time to time."
'Humm, alright I have an idea, Sky go back to Ray.'
Sky flew back to Ray shoulder.
Marika then place an eagle on Kevin shoulder and one on Dante's shoulder and the last she gave to Richard.
'You three little ones stay here with us, since Sky is busy with work of his owner you guys stay with the person I designated to you. You can do the same thing that Sky does and help them. So listen very well to them and you will be able to meet with Sky again in the future.'
The three eagle nuzzled there new owners.
Ray was baffled by it and asked "How did you figured what they wanted?"
Easy, Sky is a good teacher and they took over the sense of duty from him. But they didn't have anybody to serve so…'
Marika patted Sky and said, 'You did a good job on raising them.'
Ray then bid everybody goodbye and left together with the Duke.
Marika sighed a sigh 'Finally some peace again.'
'Richard can you stay a little longer?'
'I'm tired and I didn't had a good sleep last night.'
Richard looked at Solis and nodded.
"Sure, I'll still be here after you wake up from you nap."
Marika fell asleep in Richard arms, when he notices she was deep asleep he asked Solis "Did she had a nightmare?"
"She was practically reliving her whole experience about her magic being stolen."
Richard looked a little sad and caressed her face.
"Father, you don't need to worry about her trying to fight that person, because she will let you and the others handle that for her."
Richard picked Marika up and brought her to her bed. He laid down next to her and pulled her in his embrace. " You are always save here with me so have some sweet dreams."
Richard closed his eyes and also fell asleep, because he felt most at peace having her next to him.
After a few hours Richard was woken up by Marika because she was emitting killing intent.
"Sweetie what's wrong?"
'I don't expect you to know this women but do you know this man?'
Richard looked at the two and said " You can kill them, they trespassed your lands without notifying you." He said in a very cold voice.
"Your Majesty please!"
'To who are you referring me or him?' Marika asked.
"To My King."
The women suddenly started to laugh.
'You are the Queen of Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi, you look so plain.'
Marika smirked and walked over to Richard and kissed him deeply.
He notice her slight aggression in her kiss, and it slowly light a fire inside him.
'Well I may look plain but my action are anything from plain. And that's what he likes the most.'
The women got aggravated and slapped Marika in the face.
"Well I hope you brought a coffin, Clan head Vipera."
Marika looked at the women and she saw that Marika's bruise was already healed up.
'Dad, this women has the same ability like sister! She is the one who stole sis innate ability!'
Marika snapped instantly she changed in to her 7th stage and her killing intend and blood lust went through the roof. Her eyes emitted blind rage.
Marika's aura was so bad that it could be felt throughout the village and even reached Luca.
Solis and the others came running and saw the state Marika was in, Richard told them to get everybody out of the village and to the cave.
They all moved out and started to evacuate everybody.
'I stole what now…'
'If anything your sister stole my innate magic and just threw me away like I was a broken tool.'
'You really think a snake can become a dragon?'
Marika grabbed the women and slammed her in to the wall.
'I'll kill everybody who is related to that women who stole what was originally mine. And I start by you!'
Marika destroyed the wall and threw out the women.
The man who was in the room with Richard pleaded to Richard. "Please could you stop her? I know my daughter spoke out of line but… but… to kill her…"
"Why? The Queen spoke the truth and it was your daughters own mistake for speaking those words"
"So don't think I will let the culprit out of my dungeon, and don't expect her to get back before we took out what originally belongs to my wife from the beginning."
Richard threw him the recording stone and walked outside through the hole in the wall.
The man who was left behind looked at the recordings and was shocked by what he saw. How could one of his children be so cruel and greedy. He felt he had failed as a father and wondered where he went wrong with his daughters.
One was going to die now and the other would be put to death soon after.
Richard looked at Marika who was still in her 7th stage.
'Let me show you what I had to endure that time.'
Marika remembered the spell that was used on her and she casted on the women.
The women screamed out of fear and pain and Marika reached inside of her and crushed her innate magic.
Marika removed her arm from her body and canceled the spell.
Luca arrived and saw his sister and asked Richard "What the hell happened here?"
"Meet the sister of the women who stole your sisters magic. She also dared to accused your sister from stealing the magic from her sister. And your sister just snapped."
"Marika casted the same magic spell that was use on her and crushed that women's innate magic just now."
"I would like to stop your sister but I can't get close to her unnoticed to sedate her."
"Do you carry one right now?"
"No but she has one on her I just in case for enemies, but I don't know what type it is."
"Then you distract her while I try to sneak up on her. I don't think she has noticed I have arrived."
"Alright let's try it."
'Now how was that? Now you had a taste to what I have been through, I didn't take anything out I just damaged it to the point it will take you decades to recover.' Marika smiled viciously.
'Dare to say it again I stole from your sister!!!'
The women couldn't speak a word.
"Sweetheart!?" Richard slowly walked up to Marika but he saw she wasn't herself.
Marika got up and charged at Richard and pulled her sword and stopped half a meter away from him pointing her sword at him.
'Don't you dare come any closer!'
"Alright I will just stand here, but can you talk to me?"
'Why would I? As if talking will fix anything.'
Marika lowered her sword a bit, but Richard still didn't move.
"Well sometimes talking indeed won't fix things, but going on a rampage won't help either."
'Then tell me what I'm supposed to do mister.'
Richard stretched his hand out to Marika and said "Drop those swords and take my hand. I will help you get back what was stolen from you and you can make them suffer to till you are satisfied."
'Like hell I will trust you.'
"I didn't move a step even when you lowered your swords I could easily have made a move to you."
Marika looked at Richard and dropped her sword and reached out to take his hand.
Richard grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him, since he knew where the sedative was he pulled it from her pocked and threw it at Luca.
Everything when so fast for Marika she couldn't process what just happened and Luca already shot the needle in her neck.
Marika turned her head around and saw Luca standing next to her.
'Luca…you…bastard…'
Marika fell in to deep sleep.
Richard let Dante know that everything was fine and the people could get back up again.
After half an hour Canus and Cinis arrived, because Richard had to tell them something.
"I want everybody to listen to me, I'm going to send Marika to the human world until the day of the Moon Festival. That's roughly 5 years over there, Dante and Kevin will go with her together with Solis and Caelum."
"Letting her stay here, she will not get the rest and peace she is looking for. So William will open a portal to the human world and Luca will lift the spell from there grandmothers house so you guys can stay there."
"The incident that just happened has put a big strain on her body and she need to rest up."
Suddenly a voice came from the door 'No I don't want to go.'
Marika started to cry.
Lenis then walked up to her and said "Marika the magic spell you used on that women caused your battle magic to crack, you need to rest and be in a stress less environment."
Richard stood up and walked over to her "Sweetie I will come and visit you in that period of time, and didn't you want a vacation? Just treat it as a vacation. You like to travel, so travel all over the human world. A lot has changed over there already. Don't forget 110 years have already passed over there."
Marika clung on to Richard and cried 'No I don't want to go, I don't want to be separated from you."
"Great now we have to deal with separation anxiety." Luca said in an annoyed tone.
"Is that bad?" Canus asked.
"Well in her case it is. Don't forget she lived most of her life in solitary, now that she finally started to accept she doesn't need to do everything alone, we put her in a situation where she is separated from her new found support."
"Sister you still have that little fox problem. So if I can't contain it I need Richard back here, That will give you one year to spend with him over there. Can you let go of him when that time come's?"
Marika looked at Luca and nodded. 'I will, I promise brother.' As she cried.
"Now go get your things together and will be leaving." Luca said to Marika.
"Don't worry all too much she will be fine after a few days over there. And if not than start by separating yourself from her for a few hour and extend it to a day within a month's time. Just let me know when you hit a wall with it and I'll can give you some advice."
Richard nodded.
Luca then turned to Lenis and gave him 1 year worth of medicine.
"You are going with her, you'll be much saver over there then here."
Lenis nodded.
William arrived and opened a portal to where her grandmother used to live. Luca and the other went through the portal but Marika was bit reluctant to go.
"Sweetie it's oké, I'll be there with you." And Richard gently took her hand and guided her through the portal.
"Mari, you better come back strong and healthy so you can let me eat dust!" Canus said and waved to her.
"Don't worry your country will still be standing when you get back I promise." Cinis said to her.
Marika nodded and smiled, 'bye, bye'
"Let's go back and inform father what has happened" Cinis said to his brother.
"My poor sister Mari, she really broke down this time."
"To be fair in less than half a day she had to deal with so many nasty people and situation."
"Shall we visit her and stay there for a year after Richard come's back?" Canus asked his brother.
"Sounds good to me, but we have to discusses it with father first."
[ Human World]
When Marika arrived she got anxious again, Richard told William to close the portal.
"Look I'm still here, I'm not going to leave you here alone."
William then said "It's a miracle she isn't a 5 year old child at the moment after what happened."
"She may look like an adult but mental she already regressed to a 5 year old."
"How can you tell?"
"Her behavior, look how she is clinging to me and how fast she gets anxious not to mention the way she is looking around."
"When did it start?"
"Probably around when she woke up from her anesthetic and entered the room."
Luca then came up to them "He is right, I noticed that too, children are most likely to suffer from separation anxiety."
"Well in my sister's case it's slightly different, even if she were mentally an adult she could suffer just as easily, because she finally found a place that she didn't need to be solitary anymore. And now she is put in a place where she has to go back to her old way of living."
"Sis were not going to stay at the cottage, were going to the main house."
Marika looked at Luca, 'The house with the big yard and statues?"
"Yes, you haven't been there for a long time."
'But grandma said we couldn't go there.'
"Grandma gave permission because you have your husband with you."
Marika looked at Richard and then at Luca 'Is it really alright?'
Luca nodded.
"Why do you need permission to enter the main house?"
"Well… let's just say that house represents the next head of our family and only when a member is married can they enter the house."
"But we aren't officially married so…"
"If you are in your hearts then that is all you need, and besides have you forgotten the day I was reunite with my sister?"
"I placed my blessing on the both of you, so it's approved you can enter the main house."
"So that day you actually married us."
"Yes I did" Luca said with a big smile on his face.
"I really can't match you two, your so a like you and your sister."
"I'll take that as a compliment."
As they walked further and got closer to the cottage Marika slowly started to relax more and loosened her grip on Richard arm.
When they arrived Marika asked Luca 'Where is the small house?'
Luca smiled "I hid it so no unwanted guest could occupy it."
Luca released the barrier and the cottage appeared.
Marika let go of Richard and ran up to cottage, she opened the door and went in.
After an few minutes she came back out with a box, the box contained a key.
Luca patted Marika head, "Good job sister now let's go to the big house."
As she resumed their walk up the hill Marika was relaxed and happily carrying the box within her arms.
Luca then told Richard "Since she got the key for the main house there wil be chance that there wil be some people of the branch family to appear there."
"Why is that?"
"From what Grandma told me it's to welcome the new head of The Founding Green Dragon Clan."
"But honestly I don't know how they will react once they see her sitting on that position, so do expect some slight annoyance from them."
When they got near Marika stopped. 'If that's the case then I wil just make them bow to me.'
'But I doubt that the clan head and his son will give me any trouble since the already met me and know what I'm cable of.'
"I hope so." Luca said.
As they came closer Marika grabbed Richard by the arm and whispered 'He is here.'
Luca looked at Marika "You mean?"
Marika nodded and took a few deep breaths 'We need to pretend we don't know anything.'
"Sure that's not hard for me and your husband, but you on the other hand…"
'I'll manage somehow.'
Marika adjusted her appearance to her 3rd stage and Richard to his 3rd even Luca changed his appearance.
Luca asked Marika "Why only to your 3rd stage?"
'Simple, they met me when I awakened up till my 3rd stage, they have no clues I awakened fully, so if anybody is going to open there mouth in discontent I show them the other 4 and if they don't shut up after that then my 8th stage will appear.'
When they arrived the were greeted by the clan head and his 2 son's and daughter.
The clan head bowed, "How have you been Your Majesty's?"
The second son and the daughter also bow to Marika and Richard but the second click his tong and whispered "This incomplete half ling is going to be the new head of the Founding Green Dragon Clan."
'Brother hush before she hears you' his sister whispered back.
"It's already too late for that, she already hear him"
Marika walked up to and grabbed the face of the second son. 'I'm incomplete?'
'Then you better keep your eyes on me and see how incomplete I am.'
