Chapter 19 - Preparing for the Visit to In-Laws

I

The group of Duke Simon left the Thregonad Village hastily. The Duke was aghast as the Chieftain of the Village was firm and brave enough not to be rattled by his threat for war. He was not able to see the Lykan Princess.

Duke Simon promised to return to the Village to get the Princess by whatever means and whatever it would cost him. By now, he needs to leave the village. They are not well equipped to fight and declare war at this moment. He needs to save himself first and then return to this village well prepared. They will make a surprise attack that these Thregonad people have no means anymore to defend themselves and fight back.

Princess Shelyca got inside their bedroom when she saw Dareon already walking going back to their hovel. The visitors left the village already. She sat at the edge of the bed and kept her silence while seeing him approaching the door of their bedroom.

As he approached her, he cleared his throat. “Wife, have you seen the visitors?” he asked suddenly.

Princess Shelyca looked at him, directly into his eyes. “Yes, I saw them and I know the man you had a talk with,” she admitted.

“Why then you did not come out of our hovel to meet him?” He eyed her, waiting for her answer.

“Because I am your wife now. You told me to stay here, I followed. I know you did it for my safety.” She dignifiedly answered while staring at her husband who seemed to appreciate her answer much. He smiled boyishly as if he heard something that truly made him elated.

He sat beside her. “Really? So, if ever he will return to get you, you will not go with him?” he asked while looking at her with rays of love in his eyes. Yes, his eyes emit love but Shelyca was not able to comprehend it well.

“Nope, besides, we are going to visit my parents’ Kingdom soonest right? How about doing it tomorrow then?” she asked gently.

“We have to do it by night if we are flying going there in my Dragon form,” Dareon confirmed while putting his arm around her shoulders.

“Don’t you worry, we can land in the open ground; it is the training ground of the palace. No one stays there at night.” Shelyca smiled while leaning her head on his shoulder.

“Alright, we will fly tomorrow night then,” Dareon replied as he kissed her forehead.

“Thank you Dareon.” She smiled.

“Hmm, how about calling me husband as I call you wife?” He winked.

Shelyca laughed. “Hmmm, thank you husband,” she repeated.

“Wife, should I not be afraid with your King and Queen Parents? What if they will slash my neck when they see me?” He asked as if being frightened.

Laughing heartily Shelyca asked him, “Am I sensing that the Dragon Master is afraid of his in-laws?

“You sense it right wife. Of course, I cannot fight back with them. They are your parents.” He admitted.

“Hmm, don’t you worry my parents love me so much. So if I will tell them that you are my husband, they will not kill you.” She joked at him still laughing.

“Ahhh, good. Then I am ready to fly you to your Kingdom tomorrow.” He grinned while his hand on her shoulder started to caress, sliding down her waist to hips.
She looked at him inquisitively but he just grinned and then kissed her lips passionately. “I need to save more strength for tomorrow’s flying, so I need to gas up now.” He said with puppy eyes after kissing her.

Shelyca giggled as she pinched his tummy. “Then we need to remove this,” she stated while removing his blue shirt.

“And so we need to remove this also,” Dareon said while removing Shelyca’s dress. He is grinning naughtily.

Thereafter, what can be heard are moans, whisperings, and screeching of the bed, inside the Chieftain’s big hovel.

At the Sussex Palace, Duke Simon is facing back and forth. He could not contain his anger to the Chieftain of that small village. Who is he to marry his Lycan Princess? His Lycan Princess who he treasured for long; he waited for long before he found the opportune time to ask her hand in marriage from her King and Queen parents who readily agreed to his proposal. She should have been with him right now, if not for that accident and if only that ferocious Chieftain immediately helps her returned her to their Kingdom rather than maybe forcing her to marry him. Their marriage is null and void. He will not accept it. He is the mate of the Lycan Princess, he can feel it.

Duke Simon decided not to inform yet the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Gold Valley that he knew already where their princess daughter is right now. He needs to get her from the Chieftain, wed her in the way a Lycan Princess should be wedded. “I will hire wolf goons from the pack of rogues to recover the Princess from the hands of that lowly Chieftain!” he murmured.

And so Duke Simon contacted the Rogue’s Alpha of the Dancing Wind Pack. They are called Dancing Wind because they do not have a specific place of abode. They stayed wherever the wind brings them. They are the most feared Rogues’ Pack in Sussex.

It was an easy negotiation between the Duke of Sussex and the Alpha of the Dancing Wind Pack.

“Fifteen Thousand Pounds Sterling and our deal is done. You will have your Princess in your Kingdom on the date agreed upon.” It was the Rogues’ Alpha who has spoken.

“You will get your Five Thousand Pounds today and the remaining Ten Thousand Pounds will be given to you the moment you bring the Lycan Princess in our Kingdom.” The Duke of Sussex conformed.

The Alpha of the Dancing Wind Pack smiled devilishly as he stretched his hand for a handshake to seal his agreement with the Duke of Sussex, which the latter accepted with equally devilish grin.
