He is out right now taking care of some business with Fairytail." he said laughing. My anger flared up to my face.
" - No harm better come to Fairytail or you and your cronies will have me to deal with". i said heatedly. He looked at me with a look of suprise on his face.
" - My Lady I believe you misunderstood me. He went to talk with them only nothing more. I do not wish to bring down your wrath on us. Then that would make me just like Kuso was with us." he stated." However if Fairytail does not like what is said and they attempt to retaliate then T3K9 has a right to defend himself am I wrong? So until this is cleared up I will be setting a guard at your side all times especially when you are out of the castle walls safety. I am sure you will approve of Chaos Panda. He has taken a shining to you." he said with a glimmer in his eyes.
" - I do not need a guard that is what my husband Dark is for." I stated. He let out a laugh.
" -Did he protect you against HellFire or was it the other way around, little bird?" he said laughing.
" - Fairytail would never harm me or Dark." I said.
" - Are you absolutely sure about that when you turn on them to subdue them from harming your friends here?" he said as a fact. I knew Fairytail would never harm me but i was not sure about the rest of the guild. Panda emerged from the castle doors and strode over to us.
" - You asked for me?" he said to yoda barely giving me a second glance.
" - Yes I have a very important task for you that i think you shall enjoy." he said with a grin." I want you to be our Majesty's personal guard for the time being. We would not want anything to happen to our little song bird now do we?" he stated. Panda glanced my way and looked as if he was given a death sentence.
" - Ah cheer up my trusted friend. I figured this would give you much joy since you seemed to enjoy being in her company before. Perhaps she shall take a better liking to you and leave that peasant of a husband of hers." he said with a laugh. I could feel the fury rising once again. Panda's eyes were filled with fear. He quickly grabbed my arm and guided me back to the castle doors. He shook his head in shame as we made our way through the halls. He stopped and turned to face me.
" - Majesty I am so very sorry for all of this. I never meant for it to be like this. I know you are angry with me and i can accept that and would happily recieve your wrath. But please forgive me for loving you. I did not want you to find out this way. I can't help it and I don't want you to think I am trying to take you from Dark. I rather like him very much and he is very noble. I never wanted you to know my feeling for I knew you deserved so much better than me. I may be of noble birth but I am far from a good man. I have done many evil things in my life and a lot of them i would not take back but you deserve so much better. Believe me when I say you are the only person I know that is the furthest from evil. I tried to warn you because I did not want to see you hurt. They will hurt you. I will hurt you. The only person you can trust is Dark. If I could take away the pain I would. Please if not for me but for Dark do not provoke yoda's anger." he said as he leaned in close.
" - In 3 days time there will be a window of escape for you. I want you to take Dark and go very far from here. I made a very bad mistake but I want you to be safely away from here. Please do this for me." he whispered. My heart leapt inside of my throat. I could not believe what I was hearing from him. Was this what he tried to keep buried from me? This was a totally different side of panda that i never knew. My heart did not know whether to be angry with him or regret that I was part of his pain. Why was he trying to get me to escape? Maybe I had been to quick to judge him as the others had. There was still good in his heart even if it was only for me.
" - Come with us panda. You no longer have to be Yoda's pawn. Dark and I will protect you with our last breath if that is what it takes." I said softly. I saw the bright lights shine in his eyes and then fade.
" - Majesty you know that I can not do that. It would kill me if I was the cause of your death." he whispered as a tear made its way to his cheek. He placed a gentle kiss on my cheek then quickly straightened up and proceeded to escort me back to my chambers. I stepped inside of my chambers and whispered a grateful thank you to panda and closed the double doors. GrArgen peeked out of my bed chamber doors.
" - Is he gone? " he said quietly. I nodded and joined Dark on the sitting room sofa. Dark had started a fire in the massive fireplace since the castle seemed to acquired quite a chill since we had returned.
" - What was all of that about my love? " dark said concerned. I explained the meeting with yoda and how panda was to be my guard until the Fairytail mess was taken care of.
" - I feel like a prisoner more now than I did when I first arrived." I said. I explained to both of them the conversation I had with panda leaving out the brief confession of love for me. Dark had enough on his mind than to worry about another possible suitor trying to take his place. Dark starting a fight over me was not in the plans that were to come. I explained about the 3 day window. GrArgen asked me what the event was tha would open this opportunity. I told him I had no clue since panda did not divulge that information to me.
" - This will complicate things. If it is a show of display then that means all of the guildies would be required to attend. That will make it hard for me to get people out." he said. I put my head in my hands and began to think.
" - After the event I will help you cast a powerful nightmare" the beast inside said. That may just work. But I will need an excuse to leave early to lay down. It will take both of our combined energies to pull off the ultimate nightmare. The beast growled in acknowledgement. I quickly ran the plan by Dark and GrArgen. Dark quickly got defensive.
" - No Majesty that will mean you are the last person out. I will not let that happen. I forbid it as your husband." I gently laid my hand on his.
" - We both know I am the only one who can do this. I shall be fine and besides Dark Knight shall be with me." I stated proudly.
" - Dark Knight?" both of them said at the same time.
" - Yes that is my beast's new name and he is hungry for vengeance." The two exchanged worried glances as I excused my self to retire to my bed. I awoke the next morning to dark laying next to me with his draped over me in protection. I loved to watch him as he slept. My heart could never love another the way it loves him. Our past lives together were cut short and always ended in pain. The thought of losing him again kept tearing at my heart. He was right I may not make it out of this alive. I glanced down at him and saw how peacefully he slept. I wished I could remain as peaceful. I carefully got out of bed without waking him. I dressed quickly and went into the main sitting room. GrArgen was snoring soundly on the sofa. He was sleeping peacefully as well. After the incident with Babygirl when I first arrived I strenthened the ward my parents had originally casted on the room.
