CHEERFUL RETURN
Damien's pov
"Soup would be better, something easy to digest after that long journey," I said to Agatha, for the first time in a long time I was in the kitchen trying to make dinner plans for the arrival of Freda, my joy knew no bounds that she was coming back home to me. She had waited for the after-party and I had rushed home to make preparations.
"Yes your Highness, what about chicken? I already have chicken for dinner ready-"
"Just make everything ready, and if you know what Christie likes make that too. Freda would want her to feel as welcome as she would, so make everything to their liking, and do send someone to see to the deep cleaning of my chambers"
I said and left the kitchen. I had completely forgotten what a kitchen looked like in my castle. In Freda's apartment, it was very small and organized. The kitchen I had just come out from definitely was not small. It's no wonder it wasn't very well organized.
As I strolled to my chambers I took off my clothes and had another shower. I felt agitated for some reason and nervous, it wasn't Freda's first time visiting or anything like that but I still felt like I had to impress her or like I was seeing her for the first time.
This was going to be the start of our new life. She was done with school now and I remembered her saying she wanted to perform the mating ritual and start a family with me. I was happy but I had questions to ask.
Once I was done with my bath I wore new clothes and left the room. I had planned to go see Elara but she was already in the castle like I had conjured her out of my mind.
"Your Highness" she greeted and I smiled at her. I was glad she arrived at the time she did.
"Come, let's talk in the throne room while we await my queen," I said grinning widely, the fact that I had called her my queen made me happy, first it was the chaos of trying to make her queen, now it was the enjoyment of claiming her.
"Looks like I met you at a good time," Elara said when we entered the throne room together.
"More like you arrived at the right time, sit I have a few questions to ask you," I said taking a seat around the table, Elara sat down opposite me, she had a frown on her face and I didn't blame her.
"What troubles you?" She asked and I shook my head, it was nothing serious but less troubleworthy.
"What do you think about the mating ritual?".
"Uhh, it's an important tradition in all of our world irrespective of the kingdom, ours might be a little weird and bloody but it is essential, what is this about? You know these things, don't tell me you are thinking of not doing the ritual?" She asked with worry written all over her face.
"No, I do intend to perform the ritual, I mean the thought of having Freda to me both physically and in mating is beautiful, why would I not want to have her in all ways I can"
"Then what is the problem?" She asked and I sighed.
"Do you think it is going to work?"
"Do I think what is going to work?" Elara asked me with a confused look on her face.
"The mating ritual, with Freda being a hybrid and I a full breed don't you think something is bound to go wrong?" I asked now, sounding worried.
"Nothing is bound to go wrong Damien, the mating ritual will work irrespective of what type of breed she is, she's half breed even makes it easier for the child to be full vampire, that is if you both are ready to have kids which as a king you know it's important"
She said and somehow I wasn't satisfied with her replies, did I understand them yes, but did I find her answers comforting? No.
"Wait, the mating ritual will work out, and there would be no side effects from the drinking and sharing of blood for either of us?"
"Yes, no side effects, if Freda was full werewolf then there would have been some difficulty at some point but it would have still worked out because you both are mates, and your destinies are aligned with each other, so stop worrying," she said and I sighed, I wasn't worried about it on my part but on Freda's.
"Birthing is possible then" I asked just to make sure I had heard what she said.
She sighed and stretched her legs out under the table. I knew my questions were becoming tiring but I needed all the information I could get to give Freda all the explanations she might need concerning the ritual.
"Yes, it is not only possible but it would happen, and the baby's chances of being a vampire are higher than its chances of coming out as a hybrid itself, when is Freda due to arrive, I think I would like to talk with her myself, maybe both of you even," she said and a part of myself was relieved.
"That would be great, she should be arriving soon, you could stay till she does or return to your home until she arrives, I would have someone send for you," I said and she shook her head.
"I shall wait, there are things to do here, for example, eat, I smelt a lot on my way here, and I am famished, so yeah I would be here, I need to fill my belle," she said getting up on her feet, I was really glad she was deciding to talk with Freda instead, it was a relieve for me.
"You know your way to the kitchen, have fun with whatever, and please while you're there ensure they have everything ready for their coming," I said and she gave a quick nod and made her way out of the throne room, I sat there for a while and decided to go take another shower.
