I was settled in and I currently go through the market to get a few things for Geneva, we have started living together and she was a potion witch. She sells her potions on the side while still working at the Inn, I started to practice my magic in hopes of getting the final one of visions to see where my future leads. I heard a horn, I turned to see the King was passing through and my anger built, I wanted him dead when I felt eyes looking at me to see a little girl smile at me. Her smile brightened my day and dissipated my anger, I calmed down and then she ran away, she was a witch, someone who calms the anger in you, and she felt I needed it. I watched Willix checking out everyone in the market, he stopped by the local flower shop and I turned to head back to the little cabin before I ended up in jail or killed before avenging my parents.
Queen Marion had started her school of potions and anyone could attend, Geneva came home excited about it and wanted to join, she knew I didn't like the Royals and wanted to discuss it with me first. I told her, "Go for it as it might come in handy later on in life," kissing her lips, we have gotten so close and I think I am falling in love with her. She is so kind and loving, everyone respects her intelligence, and she is also a beauty to look at with black hair and grey eyes. I was surprised because she was petite in stature and commanded respect, a homemaker, and it would come in handy when she found a suitable mate and kids, I wasn't ready to mate or have kids. We have taken precautions not to get pregnant right now and it has been working for us. She had a son once who was killed in a rogue attack and her ex left her because she was supposed to be watching him and I felt bad.
Geneva misses her son and has gotten over her ex, she went to work after he left so she could survive, she has suitors who come into the Inn asking for her hands but she turns them down. I was the first guy she slept with since her husband left years ago and she was also the first woman I have been with, I lost my innocence to her. I am not complaining but it keeps me focused on other things than revenge, I help her out with the chores as we were both not working today. Later that night after dinner, we were watching the moonlight outside when we heard Wolves and I told her, "Go back inside," she put the lights out and I waited and listened. There seemed to be rogues in the area, I chanted a spell making the cabin invisible, and linked Geneva to stay quiet.
The rogues ran past us, heading out of the territory over to Vampora, Marion was getting her forcefield ready in a few days so the rogue problem will be no more. I smiled because she was doing a good thing for the town and I headed inside the cabin, it would remain invisible until the first light of dawn to be on the safe side. Geneva was shaken up, it brought back memories of her dead son so I held her, she cried and told me about how her ex never believed that she only turned her back for a second and their son ran off. I held her being her confidant, I felt her pain kissing the top of her head and as she drifted off to sleep she whispered, "I love you," and I smiled. I don't know what to say about that but I think I feel the same way and I close my eyes drifting off to sleep where I dreamt of a changed land headed by Queen Marion and an unknown King.

"f**k, yesss, Marion," as I emptied my seed at the break of dawn, I looked into my wife's eyes as she held on to me milking my c**k, coming down from her s****l high. She moaned as I leaned down kissing her soft sensuous lips, I pinched her sensitive n****e as she squeezed my c**k again, her body so sensitive to my touch. I pulled my c**k out of her warm p***y lying next to her as she smiled at me. I was falling in love with Marion, I didn't care what my father said, it was an arranged marriage but Marion was so genuine in the way she handles things and I know I have been shitty in the past but I intended to do right by her. She had put getting a child on hold until we turned the Kingdom into what we wanted it to be. She turned on her side, backing me and I kissed my mark on her shoulder and asked her, "When will you mark me, my love?"
I was heading to the throne feeling happy that Marion finally marked me, we are one and I made sure that the marks are for life, we can never reject each other. My father was waiting on me and I frown, I wasn't ready for his s**t today especially after I confronted him about cheating on my mother. However, my mother confirmed that she knows but he doesn't know that she knows and she is just waiting for her time to shine. I love my mother and I will sign off on her rejection if I have to, we were both seeing his true colors and I wasn't going against my wife for him anymore, I trust Marion. He planted doubts in my mind about her and a working guard when my wife was grieving our loss of a child, I know this is one of the reasons she wasn't ready to have more kids but I will wait on her, we have a very long life span, so it will happen in due time.
"What do I owe you the pleasure of your visit this morning, Father?" He smiled and bowed out of respect and said, "My son, I have come to you about our plans, we still have a few other towns to conquer." I poured a glass of wine and said, "I am doing things differently, the Queen wants to unite us all after what happened with the seers," and I felt his anger but he held it back. I outranked him and he knew it, he knew not to piss me off, I felt a presence behind us and it was Marion who said, "My lord," looking at my father who bowed saying, "Your Majesty," before she walked up to me planting a passionate kiss on my lips. I pull her close and feel her breast on my chest, she giggles before I kiss her neck hearing the door slam shut. My father was furious and she said, "I will be teaching all day, your mother can join if she is interested," and I watched my beautiful wife walk out of the room, I was smitten.

After a successful class, I headed to the lake to meet up with Samuel, he had been feeding me the information and his sister was helping me get stuff done. Samuel looked at me and said, "You marked him, this will complicate things." I smiled and said, "He is my husband, we are mated despite how it happened," he pulled me to him and said, "What about us, Marion?" I said, "Samuel, it was fun, I admit but you know I can't leave here or my people to be controlled by an Elder I want to banish." Samuel smiled and said, "Good, then I have the information you sought and no, you won't have to sleep with me but promise me that if Willy slips up, you give me a call," and he hugged me. He inhaled my scent making my panties wet and said, "He loves you," I looked at him confused and he said, "I can smell it on you, he loves you, Marion but he will also hurt you, just beware."
I said, "I will be, thank you, Samuel," he said, "By the way, now that you are marked, make sure nothing happens to either of you," before he warped out. I turned around and looked at the file, I started to see everything that Samuel men found out about my parents' murder, I was angry when Willix mind-linked me, "Babe, I can feel your anger, what is it? Do I need to come to you?" I closed the file and said, "I am fine, my love, I will talk to you later at dinner," before we closed the link, I went to my lab and closed the door looking at it with Nola inside who was shocked. I told her to stay where she was and I opened a portal to Mendai, he was close to the King and I knew that Emile would be training with his brothers at this time. Plus, I would have to explain why I needed to go to Elvira so abruptly, he walked in with his sleeping three-year-old, I didn't know he had a kid but I was happy for him.
I told him, "Tell the King that he had been poisoned by, Dragon Fire," and he looked at me in shock, taking the file and reading it for himself. He was pissed and before he left, he asked me, "Do you want to see my son before I leave?" I turned to Nola and agreed, we both looked at the adorable toddler sleeping in his father's arms before he finally left. I looked at Nola and said, "We have what we need to bring the Kingdom under my rule and out the fraud of an elder." Nola smiled as she had improved on her potions and I summoned Luc, I told them of my plans and we would out his motives at the next conference since it affects King Joryen as well, his house of cards is about to fall. Luc was about to run off to dig up any more dirt we would need when I heard a knock and I opened the door to Lady Lenora, she smiled and said, "I will help you bring that son-of-a-b***h down."
