"Elizabeth, make a hologram of that fucker." Malcolm barely held his anger in check. Elizabeth placed the box on the ground. A few moments later, a hologram appeared.
"Explain what did he do?" Malcolm asked while trying to push away Enna.
"Well, you know that what you said was challenging her." Hologram asked.
"Yeah, that's what information I got."
"Well, the literal translation is along the lines if I defeat you, I will conquer you. It's ancient proposal of hydra race. So right now you are engaged to her" Malcolm sliced hologram in half, but it immediately repaired itself.
"Can I do something?"
"Well, hydras have only one partner for life. So no, you can't do anything. But hey, you finally got a wife. Isn't that amazing" Hologram was cut again. Malcolm wanted to say something, but then he looked deep into Enna eyes, that were full of affection, also he didn't dislike her appearance. He stopped resisting Enna's hugging.
"I want a lot of children, husband. Let's go make them now." Enna said. Malcolm became red.
"No. We must wait until marriage." He said. But then he saw the puppy eyes of Enna. " You know I'm human with dragon blood, and you are hydra, we don't know if having children will be easy." Malcolm tried to escape it, but hologram had different plan.
"Well, I already studied some of the hydra blood, and yours. They bound easily, and if the creature was injected with both, they easily merged together. Also, hydras and dragons have the same ancestor. Having children is not the question of if, but when you will be able to have them." Malcolm brows twitched. 'You fucker, so you already planned it?! I hope your regeneration will fix you up when I finish with you.'
"Enna. I need to tell you something." Enna looked at him with her violet eyes.
"Yes my husband." Enna didn't have any suspicion towards Malcolm. Which caused him to feel bad. 'It feels like, I'm using her.' Elizabeth smirked at that. 'So he is already falling under Enna charm. Well, it's probably the same with me and Jax'
"So few weeks ago..." Malcolm told her about the attack of beastmen on them. When he finished, Enna started to exclude killing intent.
"How dare they hear my husband. Don't worry, I will help you with everything, husband." Enna replied with the cold tone. Hydras are extremely protective of their partners, which causes them to kill everything that threatens their significant other.
"Well, we will leave you now. Enna you have probably a lot to talk about with your husband. Elizabeth has a lot of work to do." Hologram said. Elizabeth understood the meaning and nodded.
"Yeah, I need to do a lot of things. I will take my leave. I congratulate you, Enna for getting a husband." Elizabeth smiled, and entered the car they used to get here. It was an armoured car, that could protect them from most things in this world. Malcolm wanted to say something, but he felt that something hit his head. He picked up a short metallic stick. It had something written on it.
"When you want to teleport to your palace, crush it." Malcolm turned around to stop Elizabeth, but she was already far away. Enna grabbed the opportunity, and tried to lead Malcolm to the bedroom.
.....
"How long did he planned it?" Elizabeth asked. The car was controlled, by hologram. So she could relax and enjoy the feeling of speed.
"From the moment of the test of the gun at desert. Enna is a beast, and they don't care about human etiquette, and are straightforward. Malcolm would stay without a wife, for a very long time, because he doesn't try anything. Also, we will gain another reason to battle Beast Federation. Malcolm is just trying to protect his wife position, and he found treason amongst council members."
Hologram answered, while avoiding obstacles.
"But he will not, go for her for a very long time." Elizabeth said. The hologram shook its head.
"Jax tested dragon blood. Everyone that has it are a lot more prone, for lust and dominance. Sure Malcolm is keeping well, but because of him getting more and more of dragon blood inside, and Enna being from similar lineage, will cause him to eventually disregard, his antics, and etiquette." Hologram replied.
"I'm curious why Jax didn't want her for himself?" Elizabeth wanted to know this. Enna was pretty, and it wouldn't be hard for Jax to defeat her in the near future.
"He has you, that's a first reason. Second would be because he doesn't feel any attraction to her. Yeah, he thinks she is pretty, but you also think the same way about her. Only with you, he feels a spark." Elizabeth nodded calmly, but her heart was beating faster.
....
"Aura, you are sent to the dark forest." Teacher announced. Aura looked surprised.
"Why me?" She asked curious.
"Because, that's the academy decision" Teacher replied with the tone that didn't accept any question. He couldn't tell her it's because academy wants to, send her away for her to calm down, and learn something. Aura, from awakening her talent, started hunting her bullies. She couldn't kill them, but those she could challenge, she did and broke most bones in their bodies. Those that couldn't be challenged, mysteriously, were found unconscious with also broken bones. They couldn't find evidence about these accidents, but they knew it was her. They wanted her to found some peace. Aura nodded.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
"When?"
"Tomorrow." Teacher replied. She then went to her room to start backing her stuff.
....
"Benjamin, you got a letter." Benjamin mother handed him a letter. He opened and when he finished, he was confused. 'Why are they sending me there?' His mother saw that he is surprised.
"What happened? What is in that letter?"
"They send me to dark forest. Because some strange things are happening there." Benjamin asked. His mother nodded.
"It's because it's near the borders of our land, but it's possible someone pulled strings to send you there, because of your poor health." Benjamin nodded.
"That could be it. I need to go there just in case." He said.
....
Herman saw burning letters on the wall. They made four words: Go to Dark Forest. Herman kneeled in front of these words.
"Yes great being. I will go there as you wish"
.....
Beast federation council was in uproar. They received an official declaration of war. It wasn't directed to all members, but if someone helped these members, they will be involved as well.
"What did you do?!" Lion beastmen roared at the members who are involved in this war. One of them stood up. It was leader of wolf clan.
"We didn't do anything wrong." He tried to defend himself and others. The head of council was mad. 'These idiots attacked them for sure, probably to steal the technology they showed us. I understand it, but trying to that against queen of Phoenix Kingdom, and king of Dragon Kingdom is just stupidity.'
"We need to call a leader." Everyone nodded, after that they send messenger. A few hours later, Enna arrived at the council. Everyone felt that she was furious. 'Our leader will not allow, some humans to declare war on us' but their dreams disappeared, at the moment Enna opened her mouth.
"I support Dragon Kingdom." She said.
"You traitor!" One member yelled
"You are a leader! How dare you side with humans?" Another yelled. Lion beastman tried to calm everything down.
"Quiet!" Enna yell, caused everyone to hold their ears, some people ears even bleed. "You dared to attack my husband! I will not protect someone who did that. If you have a problem, go after me, and defeat me. But we all know, you aren't able to do that. I will not kill you here, because I promised my husband I will not do that. So feel lucky, but next time I will kill you." Enna then snapped the stick in her hand and a portal appeared under her legs. After she left, the entire council was silent. 'We are doomed' thought a lot of members. However, members who agreed to the deal, were extremely happy. They gained access to amazing technology, and they will not be attacked, unless they side with the enemy. Also, the Phoenix Kingdom and Dragon Kingdom will aid them, if necessary.
.....
"Your majesty, you should consider a war with Beast Federation. It will cost a lot of lives from our side." Malcolm advisor said. Malcolm was sitting on his throne, and shook his head.
"Our soldiers will be safe, someone provided us with the weapons that will destroy everything on our path." Malcolm said, and gestured to advisor to leave him alone. Few moments later from the dark woman appeared by his side.
"Are you sure about it? I can't revive people." Maya asked.
"I know but yo" he didn't finish because a portal appeared above him and woman fell from it, and landed on his knees. The woman immediately put her hands behind Malcolm head, and laid her head on his chest.
"Husband, I did, as you asked. I didn't kill them, so I want a reward." Enna demanded.
"Who is she? Why she is calling you a husband? Why I don't know anything?" Maya bombarded him with questions.
"Who are you? He is my man. I will not give him to you." Enna said to Maya. Malcolm felt headache already.
"Enna, this is my sister Maya. Maya this is Enna, well she is my wife. It's complicated, I will explain it later." Maya nodded, but she wanted to get answers now. He then turned towards Enna. "What reward you want?" She smiled.
"I want a kiss." Malcolm shook his head. But then she grabbed his face, and brought her face closer to his. "Or should I do that myself?" She asked with seductive manner. Malcolm blushed at this.
....
"Haha oh Malcolm. You are really pure guy. Well it's not like I'm better, in my past life I didn't have a girlfriend, but at least in this life my relationship with Elizabeth is great." Jax was genuinely happy, about Malcolm situation right now.
"You should do it, in better way" Shiro said. Jax rolled his eyes.
"You are a terrible liar. I know you laughed the hardest, after I created my plan, and after he did that." Jax smiled at her. Shiro just shrugged.
"You got me." Jax laughed a bit.
"Well now, all pieces are in one place. I hope the attractions I made will satisfy them."
