Adris arrived at the Kingdom of Draegothar, in his castle. All the people of the kingdom were there as they bowed down.
"ALL HAIL KING ADRIS!" a guard said.
"HAIL!" all the people said as they all bowed.
Adris sat on the throne as he read the rules.
"What kind of stupid rules are these?" he said angrily.
"I… it's the rules we follow, Your Majesty," Voidcrest said.
"I am changing them," Adris said, as everyone murmured—and Voidcrest smiled. Finally, a good ruler for the kingdom.
Back in Zephyria, Josephine sat on her throne and patted Novara as her baby fell asleep. Josephine too drifted off. Xavi carried both of them to the room, changed them, and changed their clothes. Xavi held Adris' picture—the one when he was 3, him and Josephine running and playing together. Xavi's tears came down.
"Papa misses you so much," Xavi said as he kissed the picture, then wrapped his arms around Josephine and Novara to sleep.
Meanwhile, Adris was crying in his room. He held three photos—one of him and his family, everyone; Adris hugging the kids while smiling; another of him, Josephine, and Xavi; the last one of him and Carliet. He kissed them.
"I promise I will be back soon," he said in a whisper tone.
Days passed. On Xavi's birthday, Adris sent a gift to him and Josephine, also to Carliet—he knew that she loves flowers.
Magnolia and Arluna started dating.
Minote sat in Zephyria; he was always lonely.
"Hey," Velara said, sitting beside him. He was shy, and also Josephine's guardian.
"H… hi," he said.
They chatted; he made her laugh.
"You are Adris' birth mother?" he said.
Velara smiled and nodded. "Yeah, but he's not my son, even though I birthed him," she said with a sad chuckle.
Minote took her hand and smiled. "It's fine," and he kissed her hand. "How about dinner—my treat?"
Velara said, "I don't like…"
"…crowded places," he said.
"It's fine, I have ideas," she said as she kissed his cheeks. He blushed and smiled happily.
Orion held Novara as she was standing.
"Yayyyy!!" Ophelia said, clapping. Novara stood there.
Josephine was with Tess, Piere, and Callum. They were spending the night in Nana's house. Xavi watched his kids. Novara saw Adris' picture with Xavi.
"Dada!?" Novara said.
"Hm?"
"Bubu!!" she said, pointing at Adris and giggling loudly.
Xavi's heart broke. He sighed. "Yeah, my buddy," he said sadly.
"Lila, come here," Xavi said, as Ophelia went to her father.
"Papa is gonna train you to be Queen, sweetie, hm?" Xavi said.
"What about Ron?" she said.
"Ron, come here," Xavi said.
"Hi, Papa!" Orion said.
"Do you want Llia to be Queen, or do you wanna be king?" Xavi said.
"Llia is really, really strong and smart, Papa. She can hear better than me, Papa. I only hear with one ear," Orion said.
"Shut up! Don't say that again or I will not play with you," she said, hugging her brother.
"I will be like Aunt Xoni!" Orion said.
"Of course, my little Ron Ron," Xoni said as she walked in with Anesthesia, who was 4 months pregnant. "Your Papa does all the hard work and I sit to have fun!" Xoni said as Xavi chuckled.
"Really!!" Orion said. "Wow, Aunt, you're amazing!" he said again.
"Xoni, stop lying to Ron," Anesthesia said.
"But I'm nottttt," Xoni said as she laughed at Xavi.
Josephine gave Nyx the hot baked cupcakes. Alaric giggled at his father, Callum, who held his newborn daughter, Calyxa. Tess gave birth to twin daughters named Ravessa and Ravixa. Noah held Ravixa while patting Ravessa to sleep. Piere gave birth to a baby boy named Obryx—he was just like his father, Raden, who always teased his husband.
Josephine, Tess, Piere, and Callum slept off as usual on Nana's bed. Ceillie, the sprite, was always around them—she hears and sees them from the heavens and is always happy with them.
On Josephine's birthday, Adris sent 40 gifts to her—his mother. All the boxes said, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA I LOVE YOU! with heart shapes. Adris sent a letter and a spy to Carliet. She didn't know that girl was a spy—her name was Delora. She disguised herself as a maid. Adris gave strict instructions to be updated every month on her, and another spy on his family.
"Baby Novara keeps running around, making your father chase her every time—and she's messy too," Basil said, the spy. He was 17.
"Yeah, she's cute," Adris said.
His royal assistant and butler, Kol—just like Caius who is working for Xavi—served him.
Carliet and Delora became best friends, but Delora always gave Adris updates. He never forgot about his wife; he had her picture in his room. He smiled at paintings; he learned a lot. He was always training with the best warriors. He was growing up a lot.
Josephine always sent his favorite snacks. Sometimes Xavi sent gifts. On Carliet's birthday, he made sure—even if he wasn't there—he always wished her a happy birthday. She loved him more.
Velara and Minote got married—she was 25 and he was 43. Arluna and Magnolia too got married. Kaan and a maid named Lora got married. Heinz took Neevr's hand.
"Will you marry me?" Heinz said.
"Yes, I will," Neevr said as she kissed him lovingly.
Finally, he had peace.
"Queen Kendra," said wiping her tears.
Adris became a very, very busy king. He forgot to send letters to his family—especially to his wife. Carliet always waited. She waited for days, months—but nothing. Yet Adris always received updates on her. Carliet became heartbroken; she became very sad and quiet. Her sister Arluna tried setting her up with men, but she turned them down.
Delora told Adris about the men. He made sure all of them were injured and gave each a warning.
Six years later…
Novara is 5 and a half years old. The twins were 13 years old. Xavi and Xoni were 42. Josephine was 29.
"Papa!!!" a cheerful voice said.
"Yes, Nova, love," Xavi said as he sat down.
Novara jumped on Xavi's leg. "Papa, please give me a baby brother, pretty please, Papa. I wanna play with him or her. I am so lonely, Papa," Novara said.
Xavi chuckled. "I will give you, as an early birthday gift, hm?" Xavi said as she giggled with excitement.
"Dad, Ron stole my shoes again!" Ophelia said.
"But your shoes are here, Llia," Orion said while cleaning his glasses. He was always shy but very polite and smart. He was the number 1 best student. His twin sister was also smart, but the opposite—she was a troublemaker and very, very strong. She was the 3rd best student.
Josephine entered holding a tray. She was sad; her birthday was coming soon in three months. She missed her first son all these years. Xavi missed him more.
By nightfall, Xavi hugged Josephine tightly. "I want a baby," he said. Josephine looked at him, a bit stunned.
"Are you sure?" she said with her hands on his.
"Yes, I am," Xavi said as he kissed her.
Later that night, they were together Xavi stripped her naked as Josephine sat on the bed You are always my Good Girl he said in a deep tone while packing her hair into a ponytail she nodded as she took his huge veiny cock in her mouth mhmmm Xavi moan she suck and used her hand stroking him while sucking him good Xavi grin wider as he released inside her mouth she swallowed him every single bit Xavi lifted her in his arms as sipped his cock inside her Oh shit your tight sweetheart he said as he began to pound her while her legs were hanging on his arms he was rough with her the room was filled with skin slapping he threw her on the beg Flip her back she bent over well for him he chuckled and kissed her ass his mouth went inside her licking her sensitive spot she grip thee sheets he licked his mouth and began to fuck her again she moan softly in her mind making him go crazy they made love all night.
Meanwhile, in a dark, all-black castle, a man walked in, his hands dripping with blood. He took a bath and whispered a name his heart beat for—his wife. He finished bathing and looked at the giant portrait of her.
"Three months, my love. Just some months to go, and then you will be in my arms again."
He turned to his family picture. "See you all soon. You especially, Mama," he said as he lay down to sleep.
In the morning, Josephine and Xavi were wrapped in sheets, kissing.
"Mhmhm," Xavi said, kissing her. She smiled at him.
"I think every night we will have some rounds to be healthy," Xavi said, teasing her. She playfully smacked his shoulder.
During breakfast, Josephine vomited as Xavi cleaned her mouth.
"Congratulations, she is pregnant," Sienna said. She was 39 now.
Xavi sent a message to Adris, saying his mother was pregnant. He sent a lot of gifts for her.
Josephine was two months pregnant, and it was March after Xavi's birthday. He took care of her very, very well. She did a gender reveal—it was twin boys. Novara was very, very happy.
A month passed. It was the 28th of April. Josephine was due in two days, but her boys had other plans. She went into unexpected labor in Zephyria. Xavi was scared. Dara—who was now married to Severin and had three kids with him—gave Josephine the water she drank during the birth of Novara.
Josephine pushed with all her strength. Xavi heard her screams in his mind. Finally, he heard two loud babies crying.
"Congratulations, Xavi—twin boys," after 20 minutes.
Xavi wrote a letter to his son and sent it through messenger hawks. Josephine named both boys Kaelric and Vaedor. Novara was like Xavi—half vampire, half werewolf—but Josephine taught her magic.
One month later—14 days to Josephine's birthday—Xavi got a letter.
See you soon.
He knew who it was. So he packed everything, and everyone was on their way to Zephyria.
Meanwhile, in a dark castle far away—
"Did he pay?" a deep man's voice said.
"N… no, Your Majesty," a guard stammered.
The man laughed coolly. Two minutes later—
"Please let me go!" a man said as his body was beaten badly. The other man's hands were bloody as he killed him and burned his body.
"Yes, Your Highness," the guards said.
"Pack up. I am leaving for Zephyria. I think it's time for a little reunion," he said with a warm smile as all his bags were packed and he walked out of his castle, giving heavy orders.
He sat in his carriage with his friend.
"Why are we going to Zephyria?" he said.
"You have eyes, don't you? Just watch," the man said.
"See you soon, my dearest wife," he said again in his thoughts.
