The Royal Mark-Chapter 127: Dagger and Wand

Chris immediately draped Elsa with the robe that was on the bench and patted it saying, "Sit here," and aided her in drying her hair with the towels.

Elsa rolled back her head gesturing for a kiss and Chris laughed at her pointed lips, "My neck is getting stiff, kiss me, hurry!"

Chris gave her the kiss that she was not expecting. He grasped her chin and neck, holding her in place as he dived in and kissed her passionately. He slid in his tongue, invading her mouth and tasking her. It took longer than expected and Elsa had to pat his shoulder several times for him to let go.

"What the... Are you planning on suffocating me?" Elsa jested.

"I am just being obedient to my very needy wife," Chris then wrapped the towel around her head before pulling her hand and guiding her towards the picnic area.

"This is too much, Chris. Too much food! Are you planning on getting me fat?" Elsa said as she inspected the different kinds of food in the basket.

"I have no problem in case you did get fat. You will still be beautiful in my eyes. You don’t have to finish all of it though." Chris took a grape and fed it to Elsa to get her attention for she was busy checking all the food prepared for them.

"What is it?" Elsa asked, looking at the box Chris was holding. It looks like a miniature treasure chest with intricate and detailed carvings of flowers and Zemaria’s royal crest. In the middle of the hood are the initials E.J. and it made her frown, "What does E.J. stand for?"

"Elsa Jorgensen," Chris tersely replied as he handed over the chest to Elsa with a smile.

Elsa stared at Chris with overwhelming emotions. She had not realized until now that marrying Chris changed her last name. It was both a happy and sad thought that reached Chris through their bond.

He took Elsa’s hand and kissed the back of it, "You are still a Morgan or Van der Aart no matter what your last name is."

Elsa smiled and said, "I guess I am just missing my mom, and the name Morgan is what connects me to her. But you are right, I am her daughter no matter what, and my family just got bigger because of you."

Chris smirked and nudged Elsa to focus back on the miniature chest. "I have this made by one of the best craftsmen in Zemaria, open it."

Elsa’s mouth formed an ’O’ in both astonishment and joy before looking back at Chris, asking, "Are they mine?"

"Yes. The wand is made here in Zemaria but the ore came from Arcanis. Just a few things I ask my men to sneak out from my secret vault in my kingdom."

"You have a secret vault? What else is in there?" Elsa said playfully but Chris took it seriously.

"Everything that I want to give you," Chris uttered.

"You know that you don’t have to give me a lot Chris. I value the time that you spend with me more than anything."

"I know, but I still want to give you gifts, lots and lots of them because you are my one and forever queen, my Luna," Chris then laughed when he felt Elsa’s heart skip a beat. He patted himself inwardly for making his wife happy. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Elsa rolled her eyes, knowing why her husband was laughing. But at the same time, it made her blush knowing that there was no lie in his words since she could feel it. "Is this one made here too?" she asked, changing the subject.

"No. That dagger is my mom’s. She has two. The other one is with my sister, Neia. But it is made from the same ore. The brown gemstone on the wand is from my mom too, I had it cut here. Someone gave it to her as a gift when she was pregnant with me and said something poetic like a prophecy I didn’t really give my attention to it back then so I can’t remember."

"The story behind it doesn’t matter, I love it just as it is because it’s from you. Thank you so much!" Elsa gave Chris a quick kiss on the cheek before grabbing the wand and dagger excitedly.

"Wait–!" Chris exclaimed but too late.

"Oh my fucking god! What the hell did you just give me?" Elsa said after the wand blasted a fireball on the flower beds, completely obliterating them.

"I was going to explain that according to the blacksmith’s wife that gemstone is a rare kind and known to enhance the power of the wielder once binded. I didn’t understand what that meant, but I guess you had bound it to yourself already," Chris said laughing.

[Is everything ok in there? We heard a blast.] Ciel inquired.

[What the fuck are you two doing? Is the princess still alive? What are you blasting there?] Hoven asked.

"Ciel reached out," Elsa said to Chris.

"Hoven too," Chris replied.

The couple stared at each other and laughed. "They must be worried," Elsa said before getting back on Ciel.

Chris did the same while laughing through their mind link, ’It was just a little accident with the wand. I thought there was some kind of binding ritual that needs to be done but my wife handled it perfectly.’

[That’s far from being perfect. That’s too loud! Even the humans heard it. We thought you were under attack!] Hoven said.

’We are fine, don’t worry about us,’ Chris replied.

[You should be. We need you both in full power and strength since it is not looking good in the south.]

Elsa noticed how Chris’ expression changed. Knowing that he was currently communicating with Hoven only means one thing–their position in the war is not good.

’Ciel, tell me what is going on there,’ Elsa asked.

[The battle on the sea is closing into the shore of Zemaria. The enemies are becoming successful in pushing our ships to land.]
