Epic of Bee

After standing up, Hilda told me that she had to rejoin the rest of her conscience to be able to bring the wounded Sky Folk back to the ship. I nodded, and Hilda disappeared.

"I will join you momentarily, My Queen. I would like to discuss something with Rai Cait first," Shiva said.

"Sure, that is fine. Open the way for us, and we will see you there," I said, and Shiva nodded as a path opened before me.

Sakura was still holding one of my hands, so I brought her closer to me as I lifted her into the air. The two of us floated forward in silence as the path slowly opened up for us.

'I think that something is bothering Sakura. She seems to be deep in thought,' Atom said in my mind, and I agreed.

She had been reticent since I got back from the fight, and I assumed it must have been from when Hilda talked to her. My Boxy Bee had said she was going to talk to Sakura about it, but whatever she had said must have bothered her.

Thinking back to a moment ago, Hilda never needed to focus her consciousness before, and I was sure that Shiva could communicate in her head with Rai Cait. This must have been so we could talk.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" I asked, looking over to Sakura, who looked up at me in a bit of a daze.

"Umm, I'm doing good. I was just thinking about what you had told me in the mountain and what Hilda had talked to me about. I didn't believe you back in the mountain, and even after you made Rai Cait and all the rest submit to you, I still didn't. But then Hilda let me talk to two of your wives, and I was surprised that they already knew about Helaina and me!" Sakura explained, and I nodded.

​ It didn't surprise me that Hilda would have already informed the other women, but the girls talking to her already was news to me. Not that anything bad would come from it, but it seemed to have put Sakura's mind in some turmoil.

"I have a very large family that I am worried about right now, and I want you to be included in it. You don't have to become my wife to do that, but you will have to become one of my subjects. When Hilda gets back, I am going to start accepting everyone into my Queen System, and everyone will get stronger," I explained, and Sakura nodded but still looked unsure.

"Are you sure that you want me? From what I can tell, you already have quite a few amazing wives," Sakura said, and I couldn't help but giggle.

"In my past life, I would have been called a womanizer, but in this one, I am a Queen, so I wanted to keep things open and fun in this life. I may not be able to spend as much time with each of you, but I will try my best to be able to. One day, we will die and start a new life in another place, I am sure of it," I said with a smile, looking directly into Sakura's eyes.

I placed my hand on her cheek and looking deep into her eyes, I could feel a connection that ran deeper than the ocean. It was also like there was a spark in the deepest part of her eyes that made me feel an undeniable connection to Sakura.

"If you really want me as your wife, then I will be yours, but you have to promise that you will never cast me out. I spent so much time alone that I don't think that I can handle it again," Sakura said in a low voice, and I nodded, pulling her into a hug.

The two of us stopped as the path kept moving forward and held each other for a long moment before we pulled apart slightly. I looked into her eyes again and smiled.

"I promise that I will never leave you, and I will always love you. You are important to me, and I will never let you feel unwanted," I said, putting my hands on Sakura's waist and the cheeks of her face.

The Sakura smiled warmly at me, and we both moved together into a kiss, both our lips pressing together. Sakura's arms encircled me and our breasts pressed into each other, making my heart start to beat faster.

Our kiss slowed down, and we slowly broke apart, still holding one another. Sakura's face was tinged with blush, and I could feel the heat coming from my own.

Thanos lept from my shoulder and onto Sakura's, and I pulled her in to rest her head on my shoulder. The two of us started moving again, down the now completed pathway.

"Once Hilda gets back, we can make everything official," I said quietly, but Sakura turned her head up to look at me.

"No, I think we should wait until we get Helaina out first. She was before me, and I know that she is also very special to you," Sakura said, and I nodded.

"That is a good idea, and thank you for being so considerate. I have so many things on my mind right now; I tend to miss some of the important things," I said with a sigh, but Sakura smiled up at me.

"Don't worry about it too much. Hilda told me that you needed help with remembering the little things, and that is what we are all here for. You can rely on me to remind you of things in the future," Sakura said, turning her face back towards my neck fur where Hexi was resting.

"Yes, and I am going to need you to teach me how to use that MagiSpin stuff. I will help return your father one day, I promise, but I am going to need your help to get strong enough to do so," I said as we floated into what looked to be a medical bay with a large transparent golden casket containing Helaina.
