Chapter 162: POWER COUPLE

[MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW ~ KEANE]

Kitanna’s subconscious took her to a dreamland. There she was young, scared, and all alone, locked up in a dark room. She tried to use her strength to escape, but every time a force pushed her back to a corner. As she continued with this, she cried and prayed that someone would come along and save her. On the verge of giving up, a bright light, akin to an angel halo, emitted from the other end of the room, almost blinding her. When she squinted her eyes to get accustomed to the light, she saw a young boy a few years older than her, with peculiar silver hair and blue eyes, standing close to the door.

Kitanna got up from the dark corner, walking towards the strange-looking boy. As she got closer, her younger self grew up, and the young boy in front of her did the same, turning into Nix.

"You are never alone," Nix whispered to her in the dream, taking her hands; they both made their way out of the dark room.

Kitanna fluttered her eyes open, now back to reality. She felt the side of her waist feeling heavier than any part of her body. Her eyes trailed down to see Nix’s large hand gripping her waist firmly, like if he didn’t, she would vanish. Kitanna smiled, the thought of having someone who couldn’t get enough of her warmed her soul. She trailed her fingers on Nix’s hair, then down to his face, where his eyes were closed, deep in sleep.

"You are my savior," Kitanna muttered, attempting not to wake him up.

"You have given me a lot of names, My Queen." Kitanna was surprised to see his deep blue eyes now staring right back at her. She had thought he was asleep, but his eyes showed that he had been awake for a while now. Looking at his face up close made the passionate memories of last night flood Kitanna’s mind; she tried to hide herself, burying it in Nix’s chest.

"Since when have you been awake?" Kitanna mumbled, her hands hitting Nix’s chest.

Nix smiled at her shyness, as he brushed her hair smooth with his hands. "Well since since?" he teased.

Kitanna hummed, nodding her head. Then she said, "I’ve been thinking, if we ever have babies. Whose qualities would they carry, yours or mine?" Her eyes lighted up curiously.

Nix looked away, as if he was deep in thought. "It depends; I wouldn’t want them to have my qualities because when I was young, I didn’t have friends. Everyone thought my family was cursed, so they stopped their children from playing with me. We commanded power, yes. But people were afraid of us; I want our babies to have a normal life." He replied, his memory briefly flashing to the past when all he was to people was another cursed blood.

Kitanna stared at Nix; he didn’t look like someone who had such a deep past. Even though she heard from Lord Hieron about the gruesome way Nix had lost his father. She didn’t know that he had been a lonely child because he always acted strong and unbothered. She trailed her fingers, touching his hair, then his brows. "You are perfect to me. I mean I love you for a whole lot of reasons, but your peculiar features drew me in first." She whispered, trying to reassure Nix that she loved every shade of him.

"And I wouldn’t mind creating another you. Silver hair and blue eyes, what a precious baby they would make!" Kitanna smiled, pressing her lips.

"Can we not talk about babies for now? We have our whole life to be together. Let’s enjoy it first, yeah?" Nix remarked, the words his grandfather told him about their blood being poison still etched in his mind, but he didn’t want it to bother him yet.

Kitanna frowned, "Do you not like children? I want to have lots of babies that look just like you!" She pouted.

Nix watched as she tried to act all cute in front of him, bringing his hands down to her side, he started to tickle her.

"Ahaha...stop...stop," Kitanna, who couldn’t hold back her laughter, jumped up from the bed and climbed Nix’s body, her both legs on his side.

"That’s more like it. My little wild eye." He held her waist, massaging it slowly.

Kitanna enjoyed the massage because her whole body felt like something heavy had been dropped on it. Especially her inner thighs, which were sore and throbbing with the friction of the last night’s passion; she remembered how she had shed every atom of shyness as she screamed Nix’s name, begging him to pleasure her more. The thought of it made blood rush up to her face.

"Remembered something?" Nix slapped her bare bottom, noticing the color in the girl’s cheek. "Let’s wash up, princess; in as much as I can’t get enough of you, you still have to eat, after all that energy you exerted last night." Nix teased, standing up with Kitanna still on his body, he carried her to the bathroom. Nix knew that as it had been Kitanna’s first time, she would still feel sore and after the rounds they had enjoyed last night, her body would be weak. She needed to bath and eat.

When time for breakfast came, the dining room was busier than normal. The guests who has stayed behind after the wedding joined the royal family for breakfast. As the door opened, Nix and Kitanna stepped inside holding each other closely.

Every other person at the table stood up, bowing to the new king and queen. After the couple had positioned themselves on their chair, the rest of the guests sat back as everyone enjoyed their morning meal.

As the breakfast progressed, soon murmurs started erupting from the table. It appeared that some guests had something they wanted to talk about.

Hieron who was also at the table narrowed his eyes, "What is this madness you all display in front of the King and Queen?" He tried to return order to the table.

One of the ministers named Franco stood up, bowing to the king and queen. He said, "The people were wondering..as the princess...I mean Queen Kitanna is now married to a descendant of Zeno, what name shall the royal blood now bear. Morgair or Zeno?" As he sat back down, other guests nodded in agreement as it was bothering everyone at the table.

Hieron who was uncomfortable with such question hit his hand on the table which startled most persons. "Rubbish! They were just crowned yesterday. Allow them to breathe before such questions starts coming up." The elderly man tried to protect his grandson and grand daughter in-law. He knew that despite the smiling faces most of the guests put on, they did not support the marriage.

Nix nodded his head, not feeling bothered about the question that was asked. "Don’t worry Lord Hieron. My Queen and I had this discussion already. Wild eye care to let them know our decision?." He asked not minding to call Kitanna an endearing name in front of the different men of calibres gathered at the table.

Kitanna blushed when she heard her pet name. She began, "It’s as if My King knew exactly what would happen today that we had to tackle it before now. Well, since you are all interested in our personal life so much. I am the last descendant of Morgair, my husband, your king, is the last of Zeno. We both have the responsibility of keeping our lineage going, we won’t throw that away. The royal family shall now bear the name ZenoMorgair" she announced, reaching out to hold Nix’s hand.

The guests who had wanted to make them feel bad were gobsmacked, they didn’t expect for the couple to be ready for such question. They had planned to use it to frustrate them, and see which person gives up their family name but it backlashed on them all.

Hieron smiled proudly, raising his head high up. "All hail the royal house of ZenoMorgair!!!" He shouted.

"Hail!! Hail!!!" Everyone shouted, and soon breakfast continued silently. It was obvious that the reign of Nix and Kitanna would be unchallenged as they were both wise and strong enough to handle the troubles of the kingdom.
