CH 61 Kingdom of Australia

We had been living in the new house for nearly two weeks, and I realised, one day as I was eating lunch, that we still had two kingdoms to visit, Australia and Antarctica, so I decided that when Damon came home today I would talk to him about visiting Australia, I did think there was no point in visiting Antarctica as it probably has no population like in the mortal world.
When Damon finally came home I decided to talk to him
"Damon I was thinking, maybe we should visit the kingdom of Australia now, I really need to get this done, and soon"
Damon had only just taken off his shoes, yes we decided that it would be better not to wear shoes on the marble flooring it was better this way because now the floor didn't squeak with every step, that was annoying especially with my powerful hearing
"Woah, calm down baby, ok we'll go to Australia, when do you want to go?" Damon asked as he held me in his arms
"Well that depends on you, and your work" I told him
"Hmm, well lucky for you my boss has said I can leave whenever I like as long as I tell him at least two days in advance, he would need someone to cover my shift" Damon shrugged, to which I nodded
"How about we leave on Monday?" I asked, that would give us five days
"Perfect" my mate whispered before he kissed me, I squealed as he lifted me up and spun me, he put me down and we laughed "have you eaten?"
"Yes" I told him honestly to which he smiled
"You've been cleaning again?" My mate asked as he looked around, I looked away from him, why did I feel guilty for cleaning my own house?
"I like cleaning" I told him honestly, like I had told him countless times already
"We should get servents for you, a queen shouldn't have to clean"
"What? Damon, no, I don't need servents, I'd get bored, I love cleaning, I love cooking, and if you take that away from me I'll, I'll, I'll never speak to you again" I stamped my foot and turned away from him, was I being childish? Definitely, did I care? Absolutely not, I was hoping to get my point across millionth times the charm, right?
"Ok, alright, I'm sorry, I won't bring it up again" Damon held my shoulders from behind
"Promise?" I asked with a small smile
"I promise" he told me, my smile grew and I turned around and hugged him, I kissed him for good measure. After the kiss Damon called Dylan and told him of our plan to visit Australia, Dylan was happy with the plan. He said he would sort it with the king of Australia.
The next few days went excruciatingly slowly, but finally Monday came and we met at Dylans house with a packed bag, we were ready to leave.
"Who here has been to Australia?" I asked the men, all of us looked at each other, we realised non of us had ever been, "Well this puts a spanner in the works" I announced "hang on I'll phone Mali, maybe he's been" so with that I took out my phone and called the bounty hunter, when he confirmed he had been to Australia, he decided to take us, for that I was grateful.
Mali came over less than two minutes later and he blinked us to king Nathaniel's Palace, Mali blinked us and we were standing in a corridor,
"Who goes there?" A man spoke, sounding angry
"Queen Anastasia" I answered "king Damon and friends" I finished the man looked at us
"Follow me" he said as he turned and started walking away
"I must leave now, Leah needs me" Mali gushed and before I could say anything he was gone, the rest of us ran a little to catch up with the man we were supposed to follow, he took us to a wooden door and knocked he opened it without waiting for an answer
"Your majesty, queen Anastasia and king Damon, with friends" the man announced, he moved out of the way allowing us entry
"Queen Anastasia, king Damon, how lovely to see you again" king Nathaniel smiled
"I wish I could say I was happy to see you too, but I have a hard time lying" I announced
"I deserved that, I do apologise for the circumstances under which we met the first time" his apology seemed genuine "come allow me to show you around" the king announced as he walked out of the small throne room, the castle in Australia was a lot smaller than the other castles, I put this down to the fact that Australia was the smallest continent, it didn't take long for the tour to be over, and after we put our things away in our rooms, we were shown down to the throne room once again, Nathaniel assured us that from the following day our meetings would start, first with the staff, and then with the people of Australia, to this, I told him, I was happy.
The following morning we got up early and had breakfast, a full English breakfast had been served, the table in the dining hall could only sit around fifteen people.
After breakfast we proceeded to the throne room and met only a handful of servents, I was told that this was the only staff that Nathaniel had, and the servents confirmed it, so I had no choice but to believe it. The meeting with the servents took less than two hours, and we were free the rest of the day, Nathaniel offered to give us a tour of the coven, which we all gratefully accepted.
We walked around the coven, Damon and I walked hand in hand, I was inviting Nathaniel to say something, anything against it, but he didn't, there was no emotion on his face that said he wasn't happy, I found that odd, but I wasn't letting my guard down, not yet.
Nathaniel had no children, he wasn't married and he had inherited the throne from his father, he had no siblings, he told us all of this that evening in the ball room after we had drinks, we were all laughing and talking like we were old friends, but like I said before I wasn't letting my guard down, so even though we had been drinking for over two hours I was still on my second glass of bourbon, I was talking a lot, but I said nothing that could be held against me
"So Damon" Nathaniel rubbed his hands together "I have a question for you" I rolled my eyes at him, here we go, trying to spill secrets, I knew it, I knew this was coming "have you ever had another girlfriend besides our queen?" Nathaniel asked, was he trying to make me jealous? It wouldn't work as I knew that the answer was no
"I was actually in love with a witch, that didn't have the same feelings for me, she was widow, so she was always worried about what people would say" Damon answered, talking about Annabell
"Ahh, well I have my phone, why don't you ring her now and tell her how you feel?" Nathaniel laughed, I rolled my eyes at Nathaniel again, but he didn't notice
"Actually I can't, because I love Anastasia, there is no one else for me only Anastasia" Damon took my hand and kissed it, Nathaniel laughed and clapped
"You know I am going to bed, I'll see you all in the morning" I announced
"No, no Queen Anastasia one question, let me ask you just one question, then you go to bed, please, come on please" Nathaniel begged, so I sat down and told him to ask
"Have you ever fallen in love with anyone besides Damon?"
"No I haven't, goodnight" and with that I blinked to the room I was sharing with my vampire, I did my nightly routine and pulled a book out of my bag, I wasn't tired I just wanted to get away from Nathaniel, was that evil? I didn't know but I also didn't care. I opened the only book I had bought with me 'The life of Evangeline' I started reading the first chapter, about how Evangeline, meaning me, first got her powers, with the unicorn, and her dad, she shared her powers with people she trusted, the chapter was about how she first created vampires, a family lost their child and Evangeline promised to find them, when she did find the child, he was dying, she made a potion to help the child, but he died even though he drunk it, when Evangeline was carrying the child back to his family, the child woke up, he had come back from death, he craved human blood, and when he bit Evangeline without her permission he died, Evangeline did carry the body back and even helped with the funeral she then made more of this potion, and those who wanted immortality got it.
The vampires were supposed to help protect her during her first pregnancy to protect her unborn child, from evils that may befall them, but the vampires left her and her baby died, out of anger she created warewolves, a single bite from the warewolves killed the vampires.
This was all I read before Damon came to bed
"So much for going to sleep" he smirked at me
"I wasn't tired" I rolled my eyes "I just wanted to get away from Nathaniel"
"Uh huh, any excuse to read" he mocked, I didn't say anything because he was right, so instead I just shrugged, Damon took the book from my hand and looked at the cover "reading about yourself huh?" He smiled as he handed the book back to me "do you like it so far?" He asked me about the book
"It's great, yes, I'm up to the part about how she discovered she could create vampires, it's my favourite part" I smiled wide before kissing Damon
"Hmm, it's my favourite part too" he told me as he too kissed me, I smiled wider.
I helped Damon take off his shirt, and he too helped me with my night dress, I played with his abs as we kissed again, I was moaning when Damon bit me on my shoulder.
"You're so beautiful my queen" he whispered as he kissed me again, I could taste my blood on his lips, and that made me moan again.
"Hmm, Damon" I moaned when he stopped the kiss
"Damon?" He smirked "call me king, I love it when you call me that" he moaned out, trying to catch his breath, I pretended to think with a finger on my lip
"Make me" I laughed, Damon laughed too. Damon left the bed to get ready for bed, I watched him get changed
"Like what you see?" He asked me, I just smiled in answer, once he had his boxers on he crawled into bed.
