Chapter 58, 59: Queen.

Rao's main mothership.

Rao walked through the spaceship's corridors. He had his solar armor broken, a hole in his stomach and several wounds on his body, but even with these wounds he didn't lose his pace or weaken.

"Zod, I want a scanner watching the Olympians 24 hours a day. I want to know everything they are doing." Rao spoke while holding the two swords tightly.

"Yes, My Lord ..." Zod said while looking at Rao's current state. "Shouldn't you go to the regeneration chamber?"

Rao gave a small smile: "This wound is nothing; it's just a hole in the stomach. I have important things to do." He said as he walked.

"...." Zod is silent and nods, he found it strange that the hole in Rao's chest was not bleeding, he was knowledgeable enough to know that this type of wound is quite fatal.

He looked in more detail at Rao's wound and realized that the wound was closing at a slow pace, the wound was healing very slowly. Which was strange, with Rao's powers this type of wound should close up instantly.

"I want the mothership always ready for battle; I may have become the new king of Olympus, but I am sure that some gods will revolt." Rao spoke in a firm tone.

"Yes, My Lord."

"I want you to start training the Kryptonians. In this war, I realized that my people are very weak, they must awaken their talents. I will not wait for New Krypton to be ready." General Zod nods firmly; he had a similar idea in his mind.

"Start with the high-ranking soldiers, I want you and Non to start training to control your powers as quickly as possible." Rao spoke while looking at Non.

Non looks steadily at Rao and nods, he is determined.

"Zero, use the crystals, I want you to create a combat arena on the moon. I want the place to be self-sufficient."

[My Lord, we are missing crystals.]

Rao stops walking when he hears what Zero said. "Explain yourself."

[My Lord, we used the crystals to make outposts on all the planets in the solar system. The remaining crystals are being prepared for use on the new home planet of the Kryptonians; we don't have enough crystals to make an arena on the moon.]

Rao thinks about what to do: "How long will the outposts take to get ready?"

[The planets closest to the earth took 1 week, but the planets that are far away or that have an atmosphere that has no soil like Jupiter, they took 4 months to be ready.]

"... I want you to prioritize the planets closest to the earth; we will send probes to remove raw material from these planets. Use the resources that we collect to make more crystals." Rao soon starts walking.

[Understood, the arena project should be ready in two weeks.]

"Good." Seeing his room approaching, Rao said. "Zod, I want you to select experienced warriors to train in the sunlight. By the end of the month I want a Kryptonian squad that can use your talents."

"Yes, My Lord."

Rao, Non and Zod enter Rao's personal room; upon entering Rao's room the first thing they saw was Faora who was standing in the middle of the room while staring at Rao.

She was wearing red armor very similar to Rao's, and she had a very serious expression on her face.

Faora looks Rao up and down as if she is assessing him; she looks at the wounds on his body and especially at the hole in Rao's stomach.

For a moment, Faora's eyes take on a red tint but soon her eyes return to a cold blue; she looks at Non and Zod:

"Leave." She ordered coldly in a heavy tone.

Zod and Non were going to protest but, when they saw Faora's eyes shining blood-red, they swallowed hard. "I said ... Leave!" She spoke again in a neutral tone that carried a heavy weight.

Zod and Non froze in place; they were paralyzed. They look at Rao and just see him with a small smile on his face.

Seeing that Rao said nothing, they decided to leave.

When Non and Zod left Rao's room, Faora walked towards Rao.

Rao said nothing, he just observed everything with a small smile on his face; he was very satisfied with what he was seeing.

Faora stops in front of Rao. Slowly, she brings her hand towards Rao's stomach, then she touches Rao's chest.

Rao felt immense pain, but he didn't let it show on his face; he just continued with his unperturbed smile.

Seeing Rao's current state, Faora recalled the words Rao had said in the past:

"A King must never show weakness, he must be an unshakable figure. He must be a symbol that guides his people towards a prosperous future." Rao said with a small smile on his face as he looked at Faora who was studying.

Remembering those words and seeing the current state of Rao, Faora's eyes took on a new determination.

Slowly, Faora takes her two hands toward the swords Rao was holding.

Seeing Faora's attitude, Rao's smile grew; he was very happy to see Faora's growth.

Faora holds Rao's two swords. Slowly, Rao releases both swords and hands it to Faora.

* Cough! *

Rao coughs blood and leans against Faora.

Faora saw her armor being soiled by Rao's blood, but she didn't care; she just supported Rao in her arms.

As Rao lost the support of the Blade of Olympus, the wounds on his body started to get worse. Blood started to drain from the wounds on his body.

While leaning against Faora's body, Rao said: "You are my wife, and in the future, you will be my queen. You have to be strong, do not show weakness in front of some small gods."

Faora opens her eyes wide, she hugs Rao and waits for his next words.

"Remember ... don't use the powers of the blade of Olympus, only a god can withstand the power of it." Rao warned her. When he used the blade of Olympus, he could feel that the sword is quite proud and that if it is used by a mortal without divinity, the sword will consume that mortal: "And be careful with the high-level gods from Olympus. I don't trust any of them, not even Hera. "

Slowly, Rao takes Faora's face and kisses her forehead, a golden energy enters Faora's body. That golden energy changed Faora's body a little, but she felt nothing.

Rao stepped away from Faora a little and then he slowly walked towards the middle of his room while red blood trickled down the wounds on his body: "Zero, activate the regeneration capsule."

[Yes, My Lord.]

Faora just watched Rao walking towards the regeneration capsule. Despite being injured and with his whole body covered with wounds, he did not weaken or let this pain appear on his face; she was seeing for herself how a king should Act.

Soon a machine leaves the floor of Rao's room, he walks over to the regeneration capsule and stops at the entrance to the capsule. While touching the regeneration capsule, he looks at Faora who was holding both swords: "You are my queen, you are my equal. When I am not present, you will be in charge of everything. "

Faora clasps both swords tightly, and says with eyes that she hold great determination. "Understood ... My husband."

Rao smiled a little when he heard Faora's words. "Zero, activate the Kryptonian empress project."

[Yes, My Lord.]

[From now on until the King of Krypton Rao is fully recovered, all the authority of the mother ship will be in the possession of the Kryptonian queen, Faora Hu-Ul.]

Soon a hologram appears in front of Faora. In that hologram, she could see all the plans that Rao made and all the notes of the beings that he met. It was a complete report on Rao's thinking about the individuals that he met, she can also see instructions and orders she must follow.

"Don't get it wrong, my wife." Rao said as he entered the capsule.

"Huh?"

Knowing Faora's thinking, he said: "What is written in this report are not orders, it's just ideas ..." Rao lies down in the capsule: "You are a ruler, you are a queen. You must make your own decisions you think is best for Krypton. " He didn't say anything else, he just closed his eyes and soon his capsule was closed.

Faora looks at Rao who was sleeping while a green liquid started to cover his body.

Faora tightly squeezed the blade of Olympus and soon she could feel an immense power being sent to her body. She felt invincible, but soon that thought was broken when she saw Rao's condition. 'The sword is just a tool, I must not get drunk on its power.'

Faora places both swords on her back. "Zero, put my husband's capsule towards the sun, he will recover faster if he is bathed in sunlight." She wipes Rao's blood from her armor.

[Yes my Queen.]

Faora walks towards the exit of the room, she turns and looks for a moment at Rao who was sleeping; then she walks back towards the exit.

When she left the room, the first thing she saw was Non and Zod.

"Where's Rao?" Zod asked.

"He's resting." She said without giving much information.

Zod looked at the two swords on Faora's back, then he understood what happened. 'is she ready to take on this burden?' He wondered as he looked at Faora.

"Non, I want you to protect the entrance to Rao's room. I want no being to enter that door without my permission." Faora ordered while looking at Non.

Non looked at the two swords that Faora was carrying. He is not stupid, he can easily deduce what is happening and how Faora and Rao's relationship was not a secret; it was just a matter of putting the puzzle pieces together for him understand that Faora became his queen.

"Yes, my Queen." He spoke in a respectful tone.

Faora nods in satisfaction and starts walking while being accompanied by Zod.

While accompanying Faora, Zod looks at his new queen for a moment. 'What an irony, my subordinate became my superior.' He thought with a small smile on his face. He was not upset by this situation, just curious; he wanted to know how Faora would act while Rao was recovering. When he remembered the pressure that Faora exerted a few moments ago, he thought, 'I think she'll be fine.'
