"Well that was a close fight," Malori said with a cheeky smile. Getting up from the hole in the ground, she made her way to the throne adjacent to her lovers. The pookas are going to have their work cut out for them this time. She looked over to see Vel's Brow furrowed and her cheeks flushed with what I presume is anger. "What is wrong my Queen?"

"Nothing, I just really wanted to step in and kill her. I really hate to see you getting hurt by someone like her," Vel said taking my hand into her own.

"It is fine my love. As long as I have some gold no matter how much I get hurt or how many times I die I will always come back to you."

Getting up from her throne, Vel walked over to her small lover. Her hands landing on both of the armrests. Malori was truly trapped. Her gaze pierced the the others heart as she leaned in for a kiss. "If you die, I will always anticipate your return to me. I love you," Vel Whispered as her lips met Malori's. The kiss was brief but relieved much of the stress that had been placed on Vel. Vel pulled away, returning to her throne. Malori blushed as she sunk into her seat relaxing.

A few minutes passed as the two chatted away. "So what do you do on a normal basis besides waiting to fight people?"

"Well, we have a meeting meeting every three days about various topics relating the our territory. There is actually one tonight that I will need to attend," Vel answered casually.

"Would I be allowed to attend?" Malori asked enthusiastically. Vel looked thoughtful for a moment.

"Well if we get married you will have to attend eventually anyways. I guess it is alright."

The remainder of the day leading to the meeting passed uneventfully. The Queen and I traveled toward the meeting room. A large table sat in the center. The other demon generals filed in one by one. The exception being Conoleth and Fenn, who were holding hands. Each carried with them a briefcase full of papers needing to be approved.

Joining vel at the table, I quickly noticed how basic everything was. Some requests were as simple as letting people cohabitate with whoever they wanted too. Fenn asked to give some of the older members on her territory more land to guard. She also wanted Vel to require Conoleth to give her headpats throughout the day. The last topic was renovations to the tower. We all settled on adding more features for the demon's leisure. The exact additions being a pool and a small game room for the younger demons among us. I suggested some landscaping outside. I didn't really think it romantic going for a stroll on a barren mountain side. We needed some grass and trees to grow a bit. The trees out there now are, for all intents and purposes, dead.

The Next Day

"Will you just let me in? I really need a rematch." Haza asked sincerely.

"There is no entry today. My Queen and her lover are working on improving the tower." Kiera thought for a second before trying another path. "To be honest, if you were as smart as you were beautiful you would just give on trying to defeat those two." Kiera said while seductively winking. She was hoping this would make her so embarrassed Haza would leave.

"What did you just say about me?" Haza asked as she stared softly into the younger demons eyes.

"I said if you were as smart as you were beautiful you should give up on trying to defeat them," Kiera repeated. Sticking her hands into her hoodie. "Instead, why don't you just stick with me." Kiera said giving her a smile. Haza's face grew confused, then embarrassed.

"If you have me." Haza mumbled flushed face turning to the side to hide her embarrassment. Shocked Kiera at her acceptance, Kiera stood frozen.
