By midnight, the castle of Noctyra was quiet, the moonlight streaming through the halls like silver silk.
Xoni lifted her wife Anesthesia in her arms, carrying her gently through the candle-lit corridor to their chamber. The moment she opened the door, Anesthesia gasped. The entire room was decorated — white roses, soft red petals scattered across the floor, gold candles glowing softly, and their bed draped with silk sheets.
Anesthesia blushed furiously.
"Xoni… what is all this?"
Xoni smiled, pulling her close. "Happy Birthday, my love."
Anesthesia's eyes widened, her heart fluttering.
"Oh, Xoni…" she whispered, smiling shyly.
Xoni's voice dropped lower as she brushed a strand of hair from her face.
"Annie love, I can finally give you what you've always wanted."
"Really?" Anesthesia asked, breath catching.
"Yeah… as promised," Xoni said, her voice a soft purr as she pulled her wife closer. Their lips met in a slow, passionate kiss, sealing their night in warmth and love Xoni changed her clothes into a sexy dark brown lingerie she took anesthesia clothes off Xoni took out her huge thick cock Anesthesia went on her knees Naughty girl aren't you Sweetie Xoni said Anesthesia giggle at her as she took the cock into her mouth sucking her tenderly fill with sweetness as Xoni held her hair into a ponytail as she filled her mouth with hot milk she Swallow it all ~Hmmmm~ Anesthesia said licking her lips as Xoni lifted her they both kissing wildly losing their mind Xoni threw her on the bed bending her over as she slip her cock into her wife's wet pussy Anesthesia moan painfully as blood drips out and stained the sheets Xoni throbbing faster as Anesthesia moan continuously Faster love! She said as her grip tightened on the sheets as Xoni laughed pounding her ass faster as Anesthesia fell on the bed completely as Xoni released her milk inside her she kissed her neck slowly as their laughter filled the room.
Morning.
Sunlight filtered through the crimson drapes of Xavi's royal chamber. Xavi turned on the bed, stretching — only to realize Josephine wasn't there. His heart jumped for a moment, until the faint scent of freshly baked pastries and warm tea filled the air.
He smiled instantly. "She's cooking…"
He slipped on a red shirt and white pants, rolled up the sleeves, and made his way downstairs.
The dining hall was lively and full. Everyone was seated, eating heartily — most of them still wrapped in bandages from the previous battle. The long table was covered with food — golden croissants, sweet pastries, honeyed bread, fruits, tea, and butter.
Josephine stood by the table, her hair tied up messily, dropping a cube of butter into a dish and pouring tea for Queen Olyida, who pulled her into a soft hug.
"It's fine, sweetie," Queen Olyida said warmly.
Josephine smiled, her glow returning after the chaos of the Red Moon.
She sat beside Adris, cutting his toast into little hearts and feeding him.
"Hi, Papa," Adris yawned, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
Xavi bent down and kissed his cheek. "Morning, love."
"Papa, Mama's forehead is pretty! Like her!" Adris said proudly.
Everyone looked. The diamond gem embedded in Josephine's forehead shimmered softly.
Xavi smiled, kissed the gem, and whispered, "Very gorgeous."
Josephine blushed shyly.
Adris finished his food, stretched his wings, and shouted, "Bye Mama and Baby!" before flying out the door to school, which had opened that day.
Josephine yawned and rubbed her belly lovingly.
Xavi, sipping tea, smirked. "So… your full name is Josephine Lilith Alexandra Aurora Onyx Hendrick Roland, huh?"
She gave him a mock glare, puffing her cheeks.
"Alright, alright — Onyx, I'll stop!" Xavi laughed, but Queen Kendra grinned mischievously.
"Why are you laughing, Xavi? Jojo love, you should hear his full name too."
"No no no no no no, please Grandma, no!" Xavi quickly covered her mouth, and everyone burst into laughter. Josephine giggled softly, her laughter light and melodic.
A few minutes later, Xoni and Anesthesia walked into the hall, glowing from their night together.
Anesthesia kissed Josephine's cheek. "Are you okay now, baby?"
Josephine smiled and nodded, hugging her sister warmly.
Down the hall, Reve accidentally bumped into Agana.
"My sincere apologies, miss," Reve said politely.
"No problem," Agana replied — then gave him a slow once-over. "Oh wow… aren't you such a hot stuff?"
Reve smirked, stepping closer.
"Wanna play this game, pretty boy?" Agana teased.
"How about a date, then?" Reve asked smoothly.
"Of course," Agana said with a grin, smacking his back before walking away. Her teal-colored hair bounced as she moved — her brown skin glowing, her dimples deep. Reve, with his messy pink hair streaked with blue, chuckled, watching her go.
Later that day, Xavi sat on his throne, reviewing petitions and punishing criminals. A few lawbreakers had been caught — smugglers, thieves, and liars. Without hesitation, he wiped them all out, his hands dripping with their blood.
"Water," he commanded.
Cauis poured water over his hands, and Xavi looked up to see a cupcake shop across the royal street. His expression softened.
He entered the shop quietly. "Give me thirty boxes of everything on the menu," he said politely, placing down a bag of 600,000 gold coins.
The shop was mostly empty. Cauis helped the staff load the boxes into carriages while Xavi waited, lighting a cigarette — something he never did around Josephine so she wouldn't scold him.
Just then, the door slammed open.
"Who the fuck is here!?" a voice screeched.
Xavi didn't even glance up.
A young, bratty princess stomped in. "I want orange and lemon cupcakes, now!"
"I'm sorry, ma'am," the staff said nervously, "but we're out. That man bought everything."
The princess turned sharply toward Xavi. "I'll shut this shop down! I want them now!"
"They don't have any. I took them all for my wife. So stop shouting now, jeez," Xavi said calmly, blowing smoke out the window.
She marched up to him. "Do you know who I am!?"
"I don't give a fuck who you are," Xavi replied, standing tall.
The princess blinked — her cheeks flushed a little. "Well, I'm the next Queen of this kingdom! King Xavi is going to be my husband soon! I'll find your stupid wife and burn you both alive!"
She stormed out.
Cauis looked at Xavi. They both stared at each other — and burst into laughter. Even the shop staff and owner laughed along.
"What a foolish girl," Xavi chuckled. "Alright, I want you guys to bake cupcakes during her baby shower. Here's an advance."
He handed over five million golden coins.
"Your Highness, we will not disappoint you!" the owner said, bowing deeply.
Back in the castle, Josephine was hunched over the bathroom sink, vomiting.
Sienna held her hair back. "I'm so sorry, Jojo…" she whispered, guiding her to her hall and covering her with soft blankets.
Josephine's baby bump had begun to show faintly. She rubbed it as she drifted to sleep.
When Xavi entered, Sienna explained softly, "Morning sickness. Weird cravings too. I suggest you get her motherly things — bump oil, soft gowns, and other things for her and the baby. We'll get everything ready."
Xavi nodded. "I have a lot to learn."
"Yep," Sienna laughed. "And she's gonna stress the living shit out of you."
He smiled faintly, changing into his royal attire, his crown balanced perfectly on his head. Before leaving, he warmed Josephine's favorite blanket, covered her, kissed her bump — and then her lips.
He placed ten boxes of cupcakes beside her before leaving the hall.
That afternoon, the King of Nerathis, King Raviel, arrived — a tall man, half-elf and half-wizard, with his wife Queen Isla and their four children: Prince Rowan, Prince Aric, Princess Eira, and Princess Zariah — the same bratty princess from the shop.
They entered the throne hall, Zariah dressed lavishly, her hair glittering with gold pins.
The doors opened with a shout:
"All hail King Xavi Roman!" Cauis announced.
Everyone bowed.
Xavi walked in confidently, sitting on his throne. Zariah froze the moment she saw him.
"It's him…" she whispered.
"That one you insulted, right?" Queen Isla asked pointedly.
"Yes," Zariah muttered, pale with fear.
Xavi smirked wickedly, crossing his legs. Zariah shrank back in her seat.
Four hours later, Xavi was reviewing trade deals with Cauis when Josephine woke up, stretching and yawning.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the cupcakes beside her. She clapped her hands happily, grabbed a box, and started stuffing her face.
"Easy, Josephine," Assia said with a little laugh as she joined her.
Meanwhile, Xavi's meeting was interrupted when Ruby walked in carrying Adris, who was unconscious.
"What happened?" Xavi asked quickly.
Ruby laid Adris in his arms. "He passed out in class. His temperature spiked. After playing, he transformed — became a giant version of himself, then cried and fainted. He kept saying, Mama help…"
Xavi's eyes softened. He stroked his son's hair. "Don't tell Josephine anything. Cauis, change him, make sure he's asleep. Keep a maid in the room."
Cauis nodded and left.
Ruby smiled faintly. "What are families for? How's Josephine?"
"She's asleep," Xavi replied.
Ruby smiled. "Theodora's pregnant too. With my baby."
Xavi's eyes widened, then he laughed. "Congratulations!"
They shook hands, grinning.
Minutes later, Xavi was deep in discussion when he heard familiar laughter — and the sound of running feet.
"Jojo, please stop running!" Assia shouted from behind.
Josephine burst through the hall doors, her mouth smeared with blue icing, holding cupcakes in both hands. She beamed at Xavi.
He laughed softly. "How was your nap, my love?"
She giggled silently, mouth full of frosting, and jumped onto his lap, wrapping her arms around him.
Everyone in the throne room — nobles, guards, even Zariah — froze in awe.
Xavi wiped the icing from her lips, and she kissed him sweetly. He rubbed her belly as she smiled, but then her eyes flicked to the clock.
"Adris should be home by now…" she thought — and Xavi heard it.
"He's asleep in his room," Xavi said quickly. "The guards brought him in. He fell asleep in the carriage."
Josephine nodded slowly.
"Is she your wife?" King Raviel asked, his tone curious.
"Yes. Queen Josephine Xavi Roman," Xavi said proudly.
Zariah's hands clenched tightly under the table.
The royal family stayed for one month on business — but the tension in Zariah's eyes lingered every time she saw Josephine.
The next day, Josephine left early for Zephyria — an emergency had risen. Xavi sent 4,000 guards with her, his protectiveness over her and their unborn child stronger than ever.
During lunch, Anesthesia slipped a folded paper across to Xoni. Xoni opened it, chewed her food slowly, then froze — before breaking into a massive grin. She leaped up, grabbed Anesthesia, and spun her around.
Anesthesia laughed, breathless.
"Congratulations, you two," Xavi said warmly, smiling.
Xoni hugged him tightly.
"Where's Jojo?" Anesthesia asked.
"In Zephyria," Xavi said.
"Oh…" she smiled faintly.
Moments later, Adris ran into the hall, crying. "Papa! Papa! Papa!"
"What's wrong, my boy?" Xavi said, kneeling down.
"I broke the playground, Papa!" Adris sobbed.
"Shhh… I know. It's not your fault. Your powers are growing. You're becoming a big boy now."
Adris sniffled. "Big boy stuff?"
"Yes, love. Big boy stuff," Xavi chuckled, wiping his tears.
Then — a rush of wind blew open the hall doors.
Josephine appeared, her aura glowing, eyes faintly blue. Everyone froze.
"Hey, Mama!" Adris said, reaching for her.
Josephine's glowing eyes softened as she bent down, kissed his cheek, and smiled.
"How are you feeling, little one?" she asked using sign language.
Adris patted her baby bump. "Mama's baby okay?"
Josephine laughed and lifted him into her arms.
Anesthesia ran over, showing Josephine the letter — the news of her pregnancy. The two women squealed, hugging and jumping excitedly.
"Alright, alright — stop jumping," Xoni laughed, wrapping her arms around both.
Xavi joined them, holding Josephine's hand, smiling as warmth filled the hall.
The day, for once, felt peaceful.
