Concubine

Golden Sand City

It was the time for Zion to arrive at the castle. The Throne roof opened and the Throne at the room slowly contracted into the floor while the roof opened for Zion and his winged throne.

"Greetings to his majesty." everyone was in synchrony after the throne landed with a salute.

"Everyone, long time no see." Zion was as teasing as always, he was amused from their reaction after seeing him again for more than a decade. His does not age, so, his looks and appearance does not change also. Everyone who saw him around 14 years ago was shocked and could not believe. Even those who did not see him in person but only on paintings which is displayed around the castle was also shocked and confused.

"Hahahahahaha....I know your sentiments. If you heard rumor of me being a god or a demon. Then they might be true." Zion looked at them after speaking, as he was amused of their reactions. Everyone started to look at each other and murmur. And Zion was not planning to tell them the truth.

"Noeimy, come here." Noeimy, who could not believe also of what he was looking. Her gaze did not stop, and she was frozen for a brief moment, not until she was poked by the minister beside her.

"Ahhh, Yes your Highness." She slowly walked up the step to the throne then kneeled in front of Zion.

"Noeimy, Congratulations for doing your best. You have passed a secret test, and is given the opportunity to become part of my family. The decision will be decided after you are briefed of the details. come with me after this meeting." Zion said just enough for everyone to here. After that Noeimy kissed Zions hands as a sign of respect in their culture and stayed standing beside the throne.

"Everyone, congratulations on handling the city well. Keep up the good work and continue to support our people and the Kingdom. The promotions, changes and handling of rewards will be made by the Supreme General, While Noeimy will come with me."

The throne then floated together with Noeimy and flew towards the Royal Hornet.

Inside, Noeimy was briefed that she have the chance to undergo Cybernetic Fusion Program. Her performance and loyalty was proved during the past years of service as ruler of the city. All assigned rulers are constantly monitored without them knowing, and those who truly displayed loyalty to the kingdom are qualified to be part of them immortals.

"So that is the reason of you not aging?" Noeimy asked while pondering the details and information given to her.

"Exactly, you have the decision, and I promise you no harm if you are not willing to." Zion smirked as he said.

"Alright I accept, in one condition." Noeimy said while gazing at the smiling Zion.

"And that is?"

"Take me as your wife. If we both have eternity, you can be with me anytime you want even if it will take a hundred years for us to not see each other, there will be a time that you will find me for any purpose you have. Also If you take me, I will not be the queen, instead I want to be a concubine." Noeimy's sparkling eyes, did not have the slight hesitation. Her confidence and charisma was all over the place.

"Fine by me...Azraelle arrange a wedding ceremony, and send invitation to all rulers. It will be held at the end of this week in Golden Sand City."

It was a nonchalant agreement. It shocked Rygorn and the other officials. But Zion was their King and his words are rules.

The wedding was televised and showed anywhere in the kingdom, It was simple and short. Zion also announced that Noeimy will be her concubine and not the queen, he also announced that he will not take a queen forever. Polygamy is legal in Urza kingdom rules, but it has limitations, both women and men can take more than one wife or husband, as long as the second wife or husband has no record of marriage, or as long as widowed or divorced. Also, getting a divorce without proper reason can have demerit effects decreasing your merit point by a substantial amount. Equal status is also adopted to everyone including the second and succeeding wife or husband. Children who are left behind by separated parents will be adopted by the government until they are legal to decide on their own, if they wanted to be with their mother, father, or be on their own.

And after the weeding they enjoyed a night alone in a secluded resort somewhere in the Holon river and after that, they returned to their original lives like nothing happened.

Royal Hornet

"Sire, all preparations are complete, we only need your confirmation to proceed." Rygorn who was also inside the Royal hornet on the way to Atlantis was very excited to confirm Zion of the upcoming mission.

"Rygorn, I apologize for delaying this mission but let us now proceed." Zion said as it was delayed because of his wedding.

White Stone City

"Sire, they have declared a war. They sent a letter of surrender to all cities." Melson Von Ruchy Now the new Supreme Commander of the Royal Guard of Luxlor. He was shamed by his capture at Snow Fort but redeemed himself taking dangerous quests and missions and succeeding without mistakes does ushering him to his current position.

"Melson, bring Klement with you and together gather an army to deflect them. Do what you have to do to defeat them, I would give you the power to include anyone in this war." Alteinmer who was now very old have decided to fight. This past 15 years he was at his limit, even with numerous mana supported operations and medicine, he was nearing his end.

"As you wish sire." The news of his assignment was all he needed to finally redeem himself of his past humiliation. It was his time for revenge. He smirked as he walked hastily out of the throne room.
