A few minutes before, outside the palace, Zack, Sasha, Big Guy Blake, Fia, Sio, and Gloomy, were talking happily while Tyra seeing the new place with his curious eyes by standing on big guy shoulder, they slowly reaching the entrance gate of the palace.
"Sister, are you okay? If you want, I could carry you again," Big guy asked in concern.
Fia heard how her brother had carried her around the city. She felt really embarrassed from all that and didn't want to experience it again. She said with her face getting red, "No, thank you, Brother."
"Haha," everyone laughed delightfully.
"Big sister Fia, don't worry. You were looking beautiful even in your sleep," Sio said while turning around and walking backwards.
"Thank you, Sio." She smiled sweetly and glanced at her brother, who was just walking like a big dog, looking around. This stupid brother of mine. She patted Sio's head, making a pitying face.
"Hmm, why do I think you are thinking some rude things about me, big sister Fia?" Sio asked while looking suspiciously.
"Nothing, nothing. All is good," Fia said while turning her around and walking happily, playing with her.
They talked casually for a while when they reached the entrance.
The Royal Palace of Eirs was an immense, multi-tiered structure built from polished white stone, rising in symmetrical layers connected by sweeping staircases. Four massive towers crowned with golden domes surrounded the central spire, each linked by high bridges and spiral walkways. The façade featured tall arched windows framed with intricate gold inlays, while statues and columns lined every terrace. Broad stairways led from the grand entrance down to a long reflecting pool, bordered by trimmed gardens and marble floor. The design blended with precise geometry, every detail emphasizing order, power, and architectural mastery. And with a special, very strong dome of energy that deflects most of the wind except for a few gusts that make this place feel still present in the Land of Eirs and not in completely different world.
"Wooowwww, what a beautiful palace," Sio said while trying to look at the topmost part of the palace.
"Ugh, too much brightness," Gloomy said while hiding behind Sasha.
"Haha, looks like the party is already over!" Sasha said while tapping Gloomy's head.
"Hey guys, you came at the right time!" Alfie came running toward them. "Let's go. Queen is waiting for you guys."
Everyone nodded and walked inside and came to the side of the main entrance where Queen, little princess, and Jorri Jason were waiting.
"Queen Mother!!" everyone called her and walked fast, reaching her.
Seeing the kids, Queen smiled and hugged Fia and Sasha as she touched both of their hair. "Hello, little ones. Thank you for coming!" she smiled sweetly and continued, " And you, Fia—you should take better care of yourself." She slightly pinched Fia's face, scolding her softly.
"Yes, Queen Mother," Fia replied in a low voice.
"What about me, meee!" Sio jumped on her feet to get some attention.
"Haha, come here, little brat." She hugged Sio in her arms as she nodded to the boys in appreciation. They nodded back.
"Queen Mother, you are looking beautiful as always today," Zack saying some good words.
"Oh my, sweet boy, thank you." Queen clearly loved this.
"Am I more beautiful than Natalia?" she asked teasingly to Zack.
"Between you and me, I think you are more beautiful," Zack said confidently.
"Haha, Sasha has taught you well," she said as she looked at Sasha's proud face.
"Big sister Fia, I was so scared when Alfie told me about you. I am glad you are okay," little princess came and squeezed Fia's hand.
"Thank you, little princess, for caring about me," Fia said as she fixed the shoulder part of her dress.
"Mr. Jason, it's nice to meet you again." Big guy stood in front of Jorri Jason reaching his shoulder and brought his hand out for a handshake.
"Blake, you have grown again. Soon you will surpass me!" Mr. Jason said while shaking his hand.
"Can I get your height, Mr. Jason?" Gloomy asked while looking at the tall figure with his head tilted up as much as possible.
"Sure you will. Just eat a lot of everything, then you will be fine!" Mr. Jason said while patting his shoulder.
"Hmmm." Thinking of his home food, which barely remained for him after making it for his mother and other people, he sighed and said in a low voice, "I guess then it is difficult."
Mr. Jason didn't ask about it further—clearly everyone has their own struggles. He looked at Alfie and said, "Oye, you little brat, take them away to the room and do the thing which you guys have planned. I will stay here for a bit and see off guests."
Alfie nodded and guided the boys to their room, signaling the girls to follow too.
"Fia and Sasha, take care of Natalia for me. Her day was not really good today. Kane Cox came here today and embarrassed Natalia a lot," Queen said to them in a low voice.
Hearing this, anger came to both of their faces. "That bastarddd." They sighed and reassured, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. We will take care of her."
Queen nodded, then suddenly Tyra, who was now struggling in Sasha's hand, now flew away and shrieked, "Tyyrrr, tyyrrrr." With a reply voice sounded, "Lurrrr, lurrr!" Lurvi came from the princess's room, clearly sensing them close. Both animals met and started playing in the air, making everyone smile.
Lurvi came and sat on Fia's shoulder and started licking her face, clearly happy to see her in good condition. "Thank you, little one," Fia said as she gently scratched lurvi little face with her finger.
"Oh my, you have caught another one," Queen said, who clearly subconsciously ignored Tyra before but now focused on him.
"Yes, Queen Mother, we all caught it together as an extra gift for her."
"Thank you, little ones." Clearly touched by their gift, Queen said in gratefulness, "Now let's go. Everyone is waiting for us."
Queen led them away while signaling Jorri to take care of things here.
They snuck in quietly and got into a room where everything was already prepared—from food to cake to lots of decorations, clearly filling this huge room. Everyone entered in awe.
"What, are you happy with my preparation?" Maren Dreka said while standing coolly on the side of the door, smugly flaunting as if she really prepared everything.
"Maren, you have done a good job by walking here," Fia taunted.
"Hehe, better than you who cannot take care of herself and had to be carried half-naked in the city."
"Ooohoooo, is that so? Why not I shut your mouth with my kick now?" Fia said threateningly, sparks coming from their eyes. Everyone just ignored them, clearly used to this bickering.
As sparks between their eyes were going to blast, a handsome face came in between, trying to flick away the sparks. "My, my, beautiful ladies, why not take a deep breath and relax a bit?" Oliver came and tried to mitigate the situation.
"Hmph!" Both turned around, puffing in anger.
Big guy, rubbing Fia's back as he was worried something would happen, looked at Oliver and smiled in embarrassment. Oliver also shook his head and shrugged his hands in a "can't help it" manner. Big guy brought Fia to sit on a sofa and gave her something to drink.
"Now, since everyone is here, let's kidnap my daughter! Yeeehhhhhh!!!" Queen Mother said happily while giving a victory pose with her arms up. Everyone laughed and also raised their arms and gave a victory pose, yeeeaaahhhh !! leetss goooo lettsss gooooo !!.
At the hall, Maren and Gloomy hid behind another door and waited for the princess to pass through.
"Gloomy, are you ready?" Maren asked while checking her surroundings.
Gloomy, clearly not too interested, said, "Ugh, yeahh!"
"What's with this gloomy response? Say it properly, will ya!" Maren said in a strong voice.
"Yes, ma'am!" Gloomy used all his strength and replied.
Soon they could see her coming in a sad body posture. Seeing big sister Natalia in this manner made Gloomy sad, so he made sure that he would make no mistake and give her the best happy birthday.
When she crossed without noticing anything, Maid Emmy nodded, and then Gloomy used his power to create a black cloud around her eye perfectly without doing any mistake. Then Maren dashed in speed and grabbed her mouth and by her waist, dragged her to the room beside it.
"What, what! What is happening?" Natalia, before she could understand, heard everyone shouting, "HAPPYY BIIRRTHHDAYYY NATALIAAAA!!!" Everyone started singing happy birthday while she was in her daze. Slowly her eyes lit up, clearly happy. She saw who kidnapped her, and gloomy and Maren both smirked. She pouted cutely in anger and grabbed Gloomy and brought him forward, hugged him by his shoulder, and started dancing left and right with the birthday song, making Gloomy dizzy. I want to throw up, Gloomy thought while getting forcefully danced.
Everyone continued singing while Sio and the little princess danced joyfully with Lurvi, who twirled and fluttered in the air, matching their rhythm. Behind them, Tyra peeked his head out and wagged his tail like a tiny tornado, while Sasha held him close at her back, laughing softly at his excitement.
After ending the song, everyone clapped for a long time as Natalia also, with tears in her eyes, clapped hard and jumped in happiness, freeing Gloomy from her grasp. Then everyone came and started giving her birthday presents. She received everything happily. Now it was Sasha's turn. Both looked at each other and smiled, smirking.
"Here, this is for you. Everyone helped catching him, especially Zack." Sasha brought Tyra forward, and Tyra's cute face looked excitedly at the meeting with the new person with his cute blue eyes and two tails wagging hard he looked absolutely adorable.
Natalia's face looked as if lots of happiness winds came and burst at her face. A big smile came to her face as she held Tyra and hugged him gently yet very affectionately, feeling the warmth of her new family. She smiled and cried, seemingly very happy with everything happening now—full contrast to earlier nightmare. After some time, she took her eyes away from Tyra and looked at Zack, who was smiling sweetly. Without thinking, she ran with Tyra in her arms and jumped at Zack, wanting to hug him. But clearly Tyra was in her hands, so Zack had to catch running Natalia. He hugged her and slowed her down by making her do a full circle while hugging her, making the scene beautiful. She whispered in his ears, "Thank you!!"
After coming to a stop, Zack brought her to her own two feet and released her, saying, "You're welcome, Princess."
"Hehe," Natalia smiled, not saying anything back.
"Hey, hey, don't attack my brother with your fat body, you witch!" Sasha, clearly angry, came forward and pointed fingers.
Princess brought her tongue out and mocked her. "Blleehh," then said, "It's my birthday and my choice to do whatever I want."
Sasha pouted in anger. Everyone laughed—a beautiful, happy place. That's how a birthday should be, Queen smiled with her heart full of warmth at this beautiful scene.
After that, Maid Emmy started preparing for the cake cutting where some people helped her while some played with Tyra and Lurvi.
In one of the corners, Zack and Oliver were standing together. "Hey man, what's up?" Oliver asked in a friendly manner.
"Nothing much, just a usual day, but I do have something I want to tell you," Zack said while giving a sharp look.
"Hmm, what?" Oliver asked in return seeing the seriousness.
Looking at his friends having fun he said "let's just enjoy the party for now," Zack delayed the info.
"Hmmm, okay. Why not? I am always ready to enjoy a party." As he said this, he subconsciously looked towards Maid Emmy.
After some time, everything was set and perfectly prepared. Princess Natalia, surrounded by her friends and family, cut the cake once more—but this time, there was no hesitation or formality. Laughter and warmth filled the air as she beamed with joy, cutting the cake and feeding her mother and sister first before moving on to everyone else. In return, each person fed her a piece too, making the celebration feel truly alive and heartfelt.
When it was Zack's turn, he said, "I have another gift for you. In fact, for everyone here," he looked at his friends and said.
"What, what! What do you have for everyone?" Natalia was excited to see what Zack had to give. Sasha smiled, knowing what her brother had prepared for such a long time.
Zack took a box from one of his pockets tied with straps. He opened it, and everyone saw lots of marble-looking things inside the box, but on closure look inside them, something was seemingly moving—a seemingly grey dust cloud going in circles.
Everyone thought of the same thing—Zack's power, his energy that saved Fia today. Everyone looked at him in shock!
" "Don't look at me like that," he said with a small smile. "I prepared this for you all—it's the least I could do. I bought this marble from a tool shop. They told me it can store different types of energy from Crowns, allowing others to create or power various devices. So, I stored a portion of my own energy in these marbles. It's not much compared to my full strength, but it should help you in small, steady ways—and maybe keep you out of trouble." His gaze softened as he turned to Fia. "I'm sorry, Fia. If I'd given this to you earlier, maybe your madness wouldn't have worsened so quickly. Maybe I could've healed you without all that pain," he said, his voice heavy with quiet regret.
Fia, listening to this, shook her head and said, "No, Zack, this is too much. Its price is invaluable. We can't accept this." Everyone else nodded.
Sasha, seeing this, came forward and said, "Don't reject it. Zack has used a lot of money and time and energy on this. If you reject it, you are rejecting your friend's hard work," she said proudly.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded.
Zack smiled, put the box on the table, and took out one and attached it to an already-made beautiful necklace. He said, "You can make this marble glass attached to anything of your liking and wear it with you every time. Of course, make sure it is hidden in a safe place as not to get destroyed." As he said that, he brought the necklace to his sister and put it on her, who accepted it lovingly. Zack put it on her and made the marble tuck between her breasts, grazing her breast cleavage. Then he pressed his palm on her chest below her neck and prayed inside himself, I hope this can protect you in time of danger when I am not around. He prayed for his sister, and Sasha smiled beautifully. He stopped praying and went to take another one and gave it to Fia. "Take this, and I hope you don't have to experience it ever again."
Fia took it gratefully. Then he gave one to Natalia, who was eagerly waiting. "Here, happy birthday again."
"Hehe, thank you." Princess looked at the beautiful marble. Now Zack can be with me every time. She spun happily thinking about this.
Then Zack gave everyone each of their own—Sasha, Fia, Natalia, Big guy, Gloomy, Alfie, Oliver, Maren, little princess, and Sio. Everyone thanked him one by one, clearly knowing the value of this treasure.
Queen smiled and said, "Where is mine, little Zack?"
Hearing this, Zack awkwardly smiled and said, "Haha, Queen Mother, I will give you one. It's just I only have this much now. But don't worry, this can also help with a person you stay close with, but you have to spend a lot of time together to make it work. So, it's okay, you will be fine since both your daughters have one and you will spend a lot of time together anyways," Zack explained in panic, thinking if she was mad.
"Oooohhh, maybe you could befriend every person in the city, then give one to everyone, then there is no need for machines," she said, thinking of a fantasy future.
Zack chuckled awkwardly at her innocent fantasy. If only it were that easy, he thought. Machines operated on a massive scale, powered by forces far beyond his reach—while his own energy, though special, could barely help one person at a time, and even then, not very quickly.
"Moommm! Don't bully Zackkk!" Natalia defended him.
"My, my, someone is going against her mother for a man. I am so saddd," Queen acted crying.
"Geez, stop it," Natalia said, getting embarrassed. Everyone laughed and slowly thought about how to keep it safe while keeping it with themselves all the time.
On a seat, Natalia and Sasha sat together, both looking at the marble glass. "See, see, I can have Zack all the time with me," she said smugly.
Hearing this, Sasha smirked and replied, "So what? I can have him more than you could ever have. I could see him all the time and hug him all the time," Sasha said proudly.
Not happy with this, Natalia pouted in anger and said, "Just you wait. Sooner or later, he will be mine." She declared a challenge.
Sasha, not getting angry with her, put her locket inside her breast and grazed her cleavage as Zack had done and got closer to Natalia, who, surprised, got back. But Sasha held her arm and said at her ear slowly, "You can't, little girl. Even today I took a bath with him." As she said that, she brought her hand to Natalia's thighs as she slowly started rising it up towards her crotch and continued, "I even washed him cleanly, even touching his cock," she said slowly as Natalia shuddered at that thought. "Do you want to know how big he is?" Sasha's hand was on Natalia's crotch, slowly going up, telling how big he could get. "I touched it and washed it and took a bath with him NAAAKKEEEDDDD," she whispered the last word while stopping her hand from moving up, and continued saying, "He even brought me to my room naked and soaked me dry— with his BAARREEE hands on my whole naked body, touching me everywhere. You heard me right? EVVERRYYWHHEREE, not leaving a single inch on my body." Sasha came downward and flicked Natalia's pussy through her clothes.
Hearing all this, Natalia, completely red in embarrassment and anger, glared at Zack's back, who felt cold suddenly, twitching. She glared back at Sasha and said, "Just you wait, bitch." She broke free from her grab and started walking like a mad wife towards Zack, who was talking happily until now.
"Zacckkkk! Come outside to the balcony with me NOOWWWW!" Natalia ordered and went outside to a closed glass balcony with moonlight shining through from outside, making this place serenely beautiful.
Everyone looked at Zack, thinking what he had done.
Zack, clearly not knowing what happened, shrugged his shoulders and followed her back, closing the door behind. Everyone looked at each other and laughed and started saying prayers. "God bless his soul."
