"You again," Dina stared at the Queen withplete impartiality, and Da swooned much like she had done earlier and grabbed Sol''s arm hugging him to herself and then wincing when Dina''s hand stopped just short of her face and A''s hand froze behind her as she snarled with a sudden pair of fangs.


    "Whoa, what the fuck was that?" Eris stared shocked, watching Sol holding on to Dina''s arm and A''s wrist after saving the queen from what could have easily been two fatal blows to her back and head.


    "The two of you..." Sol stared at Dina first who''s eyes were burning with a bright pink aura, and then at A who''s mana was starting to escale her body.


    His irises turned golden and his grasp on their hands tightened when the queen clung to him realising that she had almost died. "Pipe down and take a deep breath."


    "But-"


    "I said cool it!" Sol''s voice boomed through the lounge forcing Eris to fall to her seat again while Da fell at his feet.


    Minutes passed before he actually released them, and when he did he had them sit opposite of him as punishment while Da was granted permission to sit between his legs, and although he had expected her to refuse with her being a mother and married, the queen quickly agreed to his suggestion and satfortably.


    "This is torture." A stared at Da frowning shamelessly.


    "You should obey me though, I am your queen-"


    "You are no queen of mine, my loyalty and pledge belongs only to my master." A stared wide-eyed and furious, but went docile again when Sol''s eyesnded on her.


    "I don''t understand what is happening with you two right now." Eris looked at them from the kitchen as she poured five sses of wine for herself and her guests.


    "Resonance." Sol answered, tapping the side of his head. "Don''t ask how I know, it''s just an us thing; they don''t like her very much." He pointed at Da''s back. "So what do you want anyway, this is the second time you''ve interrupted us in the same day, and it''ste too."


    "If you say sex I''ll kill you." Dina seemed to switch to murder, fiddling her thumbs as she shared her re with A toward the queen.


    "Goodness me, I am happy to be under the wing of the Godyer, I fear for my own life~" Da cooed teasingly.


    "Don''t push it, if you really cross the line and piss them off for real, I have no obligation to protect you." Sol epted the wine fro Eris with a nod of gratitude as did Da and the others.


    "Please don''t blow up in my home, my child is upstairs, as is Sara."


    "Ahem* s, I have already fulfilled my desires." Da squirmed in Sol''sp and leaned forward, pressing herself against him and thoroughly printing her ass against his crotch letting out a deep sigh and then standing and turning to him and falling to her knees, resting her head against hisp and hugging his leg.


    "Shi-" Eris''s curse failed to make it out of her mouth before A was right above the queen.


    "Hold on." Sol raised his hand, and all her mana was suppressed in an instant while a force threw her back into her seat and pinned her there.


    "You shouldn''t be so quick to judge others A, I know the demon girl left a bad taste of distrust in your mouth, but what happened to seeing the good in people?" Sol asked, feeling no kind of sexual or ulterior intentions through Da and allowing her toy her head in hisp.


    "Master..." A huffed and closed her eyes. "I apologise, but seeing her all over you is raising strange and violent urges inside of me the likes of which I have never experienced." She balled her fists and huffed.


    "Dina?" Sol looked at her as well, and she averted her eyes and bit her lips, nodding.


    "I actually want to kill her... for touching you." Dina admitted, and Sol nodded, taking note of this new dynamic and then thinking of all the times Ikaris had restrained herself from doing the same when someone else touched him.


    "Anyways, that''s enough." Sol looked down at Da, and the queen released his leg with a long sigh and stood, giving Eris a nod and then turning to Dina and A who regarded her with acorn.


    "I thank you for your patience and tolerance, after finding out that Master Vestic had returned of his own ord, I imagined sooner rather thanter he would leave once more, and his departure could span longer than my own life, so I immediately set out to fulfill my one regret before the window closed."


    "Your one regret?" A''s irises narrowed into slits when she asked, and Da''s eyes thinned as well while her irises turned crimson and her breath came out as steam, she knew she stood no chance against anyone in the room but she was just like her mother, backing down to anyone who was not Sol or the gods themselves was far out of her reach ofpromises.


    "Yes, Lady A; even though I am married, and have a child with that man, I hold no affection toward him, he was chosen from the limited pool of remaining nobility for the sole purpose of keeping the royal blood noble, I never epted that, I only epted my role as the queen per my mother''sst wishes." Da exined.


    "How does my case differ?" Sol asked. "From what I understood back then you were obsessed to the point of degeneracy, do you think ill-"


    "I never expected you to, as I have stated, I have a child now, and although her father is an idiot, and unfit to rule anyone she has shown very promising signs of intelligence, I seeded in fulfilling my duties so it is my honour to raise the next queen of the Arkadian people." She waved her hands defensively.


    "I already know I have no right to ask what I did, and I am fully aware I do not deserve to even be near you, but as my affection onlyy with you, I had to find closure." Da skilled sadly at Sol. "Even at the risk of my own safety. She looked around at A who seemingly had an endless pit of anger to spare.


    "Affection?" Eris raised a brow.


    "Obsession." Sol rified. "So you''re saying you won''t cause any ore trouble?" He asked, and Da nodded like an enthusiastic child before him.


    "What exactly did you do?" Dina asked and the queen looked around at her and smiled.


    "I apologisedy Levina, but if I tell you what my end-goal is you will do everything in your power to kill me right where I stand."


    "Then maybe we should just kill you anyway." A sat again and folded her arms beneath her breasts iming down and sighing loudly. "Why bother with all the trouble?"


    "Thank you for understanding." Da fell to her hands and knees before them and pressed her forehead to the ground much like the former queen had done on the first day they arrived on Arkadia.


    "With the information I gathered today, and my previous knowledge I now have everything necessary to mould my husband into a man worthy of recing the one I admire the most and earning my fealty as his wife, if there is anything you need, please, do not hesitate to-"


    "What if I need you to send me back to earth?" Dina perked up when the queen flinched and froze.


    "I apologise, but mother did not teach me the summoning techniques and the Arkadian archives were all destroyed on the day of Sitri''s fire, when the moon shattered and fire reced the stars we lost all our history."


    "Fuck." Dina snapped her fingers lightly and cursed under her breath resulting in Sol and Eris sharing a moment ofughter at how her and A had been acting the whole time.


    "Okay, just go, there''s nothing you have that any of us want, you''re smart enough to have figured out our rtionship, so you know staying any longer is going to get you killed eventually." Sol fanned his handzily at Da and she quickly stood and bowed to him again with evident gratitude in her smile before she left with a bounce in her step just as she hade.


    "Yeah... Hasn''t changed at all." Solmented when the guards closed the door behind the queen.


    "You can tell?" Eris asked, to which he nodded and smiled.


    "In the past I''d have been severely bothered by this, but there are only a select few things that I am bothered by as I am now." Sol sat again at Dina and A''s request while the mage hero straddled hisp and A leaned on Dina''s back staring down at him while hugging her from behind.


    "Cleanse." Dina cast a purification charm on Sol''s body.


    "The first of those things is a very hypocritical one considering I just allowed them to suffer through it."  He smiled at Dina resting her head on his neck and A pressing her onto him as she too sat in hisp. "If anyone touches my women I''ll react the very same way, I''ll kill him without mercy, they''re never to be touched by another man."


    "And the second?" Eris stared at their open affection with a blush across her cheeks, adjusting her sses.


    "The second is who I can fight, I have no choice but to be picky now, in the future a day mighte when I can fight with A and Dina here, but currently it''s depressing that the only ones who would give me fhe thrill of any sort of danger are Dr''ul and Ikaris." He exined.


    "Who knows though, maybe there''s an end out there to my beginning creeping in the shadows of a broken and forgotten universe..."
