Adhiti

The cloud seemed in agony and The God of Thunder and Lightning are showing a happy thunderclap on the mountains. And birds are flying back to their nests and I healed my wolves. Ruin had killed two men. He is getting wilder but his loyalty stays with me.

"Shall I and Phrixus sent your brother and his mate to Psychē?" I look at Patrick who nod his head. Two handmaiden walk toward us as one of them gave Marissa her cloak and the other one took Almira to heal her.

"Yes, Luther. And we will continue searching for Phrixus's Queen and children." Luther bow his head with his fist on his c.h.e.s.t.

"Yes, Goddess."

"Marissa," I turn to her and hug her again. "Take care of my soon to be nephew or niece or both…" I told her and she smiled. "Take care of yourself. Mamma will help you."

"Your mom?"

"My real mother." I smiled at her. I walk to Patrick and hugged him. He wrapped his arms around me and hug me tightly.

"I really miss you so much. And I love you. Take care, Adhiti, while I search for mom and dad and others." He pushed me and kiss my forehead.

"You should come alive because I," I lifted my left finger where my engagement ring is. "am going to get married." He glare at Nick and when I look at Nick, he is smiling c.o.c.kily… so charming and so handsome.

"You did not even asked our permission?!" Patrick scowl.

"Let's peel him off alive before even the wedding." Andrew stepped forward getting ready his dagger.

"And what about you guys? I let Marissa have you," he told spat his words on Patrick and turn to Andrew. "And you, you didn't even asked for my permission to court my sister." Oh, I get it. My brothers both have Nick's sisters. This is kind-a growing big family. I don't get how it all happens but Andrew and Almira look so in love at each other without words. They have sparkle between them too.

"We should go." Marissa stepped between the boys. "I wanted to be with you alone." She glare at Patrick. "And you! You should stay with Almira, she's been weeping because of your craziness. Didn't you know that you hurt her so much?!" she scowl at Andrew, who rubbed his forehead. I walk to Andrew and hug him and then stomp my feet hard on his that makes him scowl.

"Stop making girls cry!" I look at Almira who is smiling and look younger than her age. "If Andrew make you cry again, send me a signal and I will start torturing him."

"Please, I don't want to see him hurt." Almira said and look at Andrew in awe. Andrew look at her with that sparkle thingy in front of them and their eyes never leave each other, like their minds and soul are already speaking at each other.

"Oh please! Stop those stare at each other and singing each other about m.a.k.i.n.g. .l.o.v.e!" Patrick blurted since he can read minds. Andrew punch Patrick on his c.h.e.s.t teasingly.

"Don't sound like the oldest here, because I am the oldest."

"And old." Patrick and I said at the same time as we high-five.

Andrew flushes and almost kicking both I and Patrick. God, I miss this. I miss bullying Andrew together with Patrick. We found each other laughing and I hug both of them kissing their cheeks. I really miss my brothers though not by blood.

Patrick help Marissa to climb on Phrixus's back while Luther is above them just to make sure that Marissa will be safe since, she's pregnant and they are both getting married soon enough after all of these sh!ts happening. I walk toward Almira who is pale and exhausted. Her back is not totally healed because of the dark whip. Yes, the whip has shadows on it and it was through the order of the mad king that now is dead.

"Don't worry too much," I hold her cheek and heal her. "I hope that you'll forgive me and Patrick for killing your father." She look sad yet relieved.

"Don't worry about it. Though I love my father no one can tamed his heart because of the darkness inside him. And the gift you gave to me is to keep peace and love from evil."

"I am very grateful that I never been mistaken on giving you that gift." I sound old and m.a.t.u.r.ed. I don't know how but I really sound like that.

Luther kneel one knee and lean his arm on his knee as he bow. I put my hand over his head and gave him a protective blessed for his safety and for his mission.

"Thank you, my brave warrior." I smiled and he stood. He flew away with Phrixus and Marissa and Patrick at Phrixus's back.

"Oh, I love that big dragon." Andrew put his arms on my shoulder. "I wish to ride on his back again. It was really amazing like I was flying myself."

"I know what you feel." I smiled. "Now, go to Almira and make love to her. If that's what you intent." I nudge him. He smiled and mess my hair.

"The cook had ready the dinner. Are you all certain that you won't eat here?" Aaron ask.

"Do we have something to cook in the cabin?" I ask Nicholas. He shook his head. "Then, let's eat in your castle. I haven't seen the whole castle" I look around the center of the town where few people had departed and get afraid of my dragon and my wolves and bears that killed the knights. Some are peeking on the corner. Are they afraid? "We can stay in the castle for a moment and talk to your King's advisers or whatsoever they are called. Nick, you should do something about here." He smiled and took my hand.

"Certainly love." We all departed on the castle using the horses. I was riding the horse with Nick at my back and the same with Almira and Andrew who are smiling widely at each other and murmuring at each other. "I shall proclaim by tomorrow about my throne and we shall get married on the day of the coronation."

"That fast?!" I said it loud.

"Yes. It won't be grand if you wanted or if you wanted, we can have a private wedding."

"Private wedding is my ideal, but I wished to have my dad and Papà, my mom and Mamma, together with Patrick and Marissa on my wedding. Also, Guinevere."

"So no wedding without them, then." He sound sad about it.

"Don't worry, my handsome-s.e.xy prince." I gave him a very seductive smile. "You have to do your duty as a Good King of this Kingdom. Plus," I lean on him while he is holding the leash of the horse. "We can do what we like…" I grin at him and he did too. "You know, pre-honeymoon." He laugh really loud and I nudge him. "Is it really okay to have a wedding though your step-mom and other brother and sisters don't like me?"

"I don't care if they don't like you. All I care is I love you and wedding will go on as well as my coronation."

"Great." I grin and felt his kiss dump on my neck.

The entrance of the castle was wide and big but not gigantic like the Psychē. But it was big and beautiful enough to say that it was a Castle. There are lots of veins and crawling flowering plants around the castle and it was all welled maintain. There are big butterflies around and bees that keep following me and not stinging me.

I don't have to wrap my face because Nick told me to. He was proud of me and he keep holding my hand as we go inside and the warriors bow their heads. The advisers or the people who hold certain things for the king are waiting in the foyer. I don't want to declare myself as Goddess, but Adhiti as Nick's mate. He truly understand me, yet the Council bow at us and they acknowledge me as Goddess.

"Call her the crown Princess at this moment." Nicholas announced. "I proclaim her as my bride, my soul and my Princess."

"Yes, your highness." The man in red velvet clothing with long hair look up at us. "Shall we start on planning for your wedding?"

"Do you wish to start planning our wedding, love?" Nick ask me. I shrugged.

"Yeah, sure."

"Love, this is Joselito Raynaldo. The right hand of my father." Nick introduced the man who have long hair and old looking… maybe at sixties. "Aguinaldo Rosales, the financer and accountant. Bernardino Collet… Priam Choi… and General Sinon Lito."

I nod my head as they bow at me.

"So, guys, did you already know that your recent King… sorry to say that my brother killed him because of his crime and according to the letter of the King of Psychē… well, your King is very mad that he become the vessel of darkness, one of Abyss's powerful children, who are truly loyal to him. Are you all aware of that?"

"As the oldest in the Council," Joselito Raynaldo speaks. "King Elliot wasn't as mad as he become when Princess Amanda rejected his courtship and she was seeing a man from Outsideworld. It make him obsessed and unable to handle the rejection, so he almost made a very unacceptable crime of attempting of raping the Princess. That crime was hidden for years because of Princess Amanda's wish to forgive him.

"However, as I try to speak to King Elliot, he rarely listen to me and he was speaking alone all by himself like he was speaking with someone that he can only see. Now that we witness that he become a vessel, it is no doubt that darkness came to him because of his hatred, obsession and anger." I can see that he is speaking the truth.

"If there's someone here that is also one of Abyss vessel, I should know." I glanced at the Prince who is listening away. I caught him it make his eyes widens, yet he chin up and face me bravely. "You, Prince, what's your name?" I ask him directly.

"You shall address me as Prince Adam."

"So, Adam, have you been with your father?"

"You killed my father and you dare to speak to me like that!"

"Adam, do not speak to her like that!" Aaron weaned. "My apologies," he bow his head.

"Oh, no…" I shook my head. "Don't make him stop talking." I told Aaron who is baffled. I look back at Adam. "Hey, Adam, my sister, Era or Earth didn't give your blood a gift to do as what you all pleased. They give you these affinity to help people find their way to the light, peace and love. Do you understand that?" like a child, he walk away. "So childish." I shook my head. "If you are like that, Nicholas… a pain in the a.s.s, I will totally kick that s.e.xy a.s.s of yours." I told him still staring on the direction where Prince Adam left. Nicholas giggle and throw his arms around me. My stomach make that noisy sound that has been bothering me. I glare at Nick.

"I know, I know." Nick murmur. "To the dining hall, everyone." Andrew was laughing because of the sound of my stomach.

"Good thing that mine is not noisy as yours."

"Stop it Andrew." I look at Almira who is giggling too.

Wow, she's really beautiful and a wonderful person. Compare to Leona who has lots of venom on her smile. The diner went well and the only Princess who joined is a girl named Althea. She bow her head to me. She was a quiet one and I know that she's intelligent.

Though someone had died, I was happy, Nick was too and Almira and Andrew. Althea was all quiet while eating and mostly just listening. After I ate a lot and had wished that it has no poison which it doesn't, I lean on the table and look at Althea.

"Hey, Althea." I called. She look up at me. "What's your special skills?"

"Archer." She simply answer. "I like embroidery too and painting."

"You are quite gifted girl. So, how old are you?"

"Twenty."

"Do you usually answer that way?"

"I guess, I do, usually." I smiled at her. I like girls who are quite cold but can talk.

"Your mate will make you really happy."

"I don't have a mate." She stated with blinks. I smiled wide.

"Oh, you have. I am a Goddess of Universe, they say and if I say to you that Soul is my sister and she knows who your mate is."

"Why are there still people who are spinster and bachelor?"

"Because, sweetheart, they choose to be that way. And some of them are still waiting for their mate… and some are waiting for Death to come to them and take them to the Paradise of my father. And Soul will give them choices about their life to be." I don't know where I get those words but it comes out to my mind and I imagine the paradise… I imagine on how Death take the souls of the people to his twin which is Soul.

I can see those little inspired look on her eyes. I know why she is like that and why she acted that way, just a little like Aaron who doesn't like their father and for Agatha doesn't want to end up like her mother or her step-mother.

"Wow, I don't know that you could talk like that?" Andrew said. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Because, she's the Goddess of Universe." Nick said. He scoop my hand.

"Enough about Goddess… it makes me really not good when I am here and people talk about me like that."

"Okay. If that's what you wish my Queen." Nick grinned.

After the dessert my favorite course in meal… I and Nick went to his room because I told him that he need to wake up early for his duties as a King. While I am on my bath he keep telling his plan on the Kingdom. He also need Almira because she's been donating on the orphanage house.

His room was wide and very royal like. It was also welled maintain. He talk and talk and told me what he feel on the death of his father. I truly understand him because, one of his friend killed his father. He has no anger toward Patrick because he is just doing it for Marissa and for Marissa's mother and for the death of her stepfather.

He understand that Adam is mad because it is his father and on the other hand his mother is in agony. He doesn't want to pass the throne because he don't truly trust one of his brothers. However, he can now trust Aaron because I gifted him and he has a soft heart and compassion. I never get wrong on giving gifts.

We cuddle on bed while I am wearing one of his big shirts. I could live like this, happy, in love, loved and mostly contented. Nick fill me and he spoil be a lot. When I was in Academy, I saw how he sulk and look older on his young age. He look restless and not happy. I can feel his love and I won't let that love go.
