Volume 8 Chapter 7: The Sirens Wayward Haven?

Small Time Skip:

Rose stood there in the soldier garrison room and standing up on a box. Blitzkrieg Zefar and his two lieutenants were standing in attention towards the front. She cleared her throat and got ready to give a speech. "Listen up soldiers! I know there's not many of you left and that's about to change real quick. I'm going to change the way the military operates in order to protect the innocent and those who are in need. This monarchy isn't going to last for very long, capitalism is going to take over. Blitzkrieg here is the first war general of my council. Instead of one ruler there's going to be a council of leaders taking care of different districts. But make no mistake, I'm your boss and I make the rules for this kingdom. Blitzkrieg here is going to give you all new ranks. We are going to modernize this empire to something more efficient. We are going to create a joint school between the blackwood kingdom and a normal school for our kingdom to create new soldiers. But also teach the citizens how to read and write. You don't agree with me? Then you will be stripped of your title and die like a dog. If you don't like my changes then tell me. But if you do speak out I won't show you mercy. I don't care about your opinion. I'm the ruler here. You rich pricks aren't any better than someone who is considered poor. We are all cursed. We should help each other and not step on each other to reach the top. The other kingdoms are getting stronger and we can't possibly allow them to get stronger than us. We are more powerful than them! We must embrace the darkness and grab the strands of fate. And yank them in our favor! So are you with me or against me?" Blitzkrieg stomped his foot and gave a stiff salute. The rest of the soldiers followed his lead, those who were in disagreement didn't dare to say anything.

Rose explained the modern day military ranks, barracks, squadrons, new procedures, tactics, strategies, rules, reward & punishment information and much more. It took the entire afternoon but she needed to inform them that she was dead serious about these new reformations.

Rose left yet garrison with pride and as soon as she turned the corner she used the wall to hold herself up. Blitzkrieg asked if she was alright. They were alone; his two lieutenants were looking after the royal guard. Rose looked up at him curiously. She just got a devious afterthought. "Blitz, how do you feel about harems?" He looked at her a little surprised. "Um, I'm not too bothered by them. They are pretty standard for royalty. Why do you ask?" She finally caught her breath and grabbed his left arm. His body got electric chills as he jolted in place. He was around 6'5-6'8 feet tall so he had to bend his legs a bit to interact with the still growing princess. "Princess?" She smiled at him,"We are alone, Blitz. There's no need to be so formal. I want to get to know you more in depth. I'm starting a harem of men and I want you to be one of main men." His pale ivory skin instantly became flushed. "You want me, really?" She held out her right hand and her wind spiraled around his neck. He was forced to take a knee. His eyes widened at the feeling of her radiantly warm skin mixing with his cold exterior. His indigo purple highlights in his hair and eyes began to glow with magic as sparks of electricity started to produce. Rose leaned back and muttered softly,"Please become mine, Blitz." His wolf ears were twitching and his tail was wagging happily. She noticed this and then he tackled her to the ground just like an excited puppy. He kissed her all over the face. She laughed amused and decided to scratch his wolf ears. He began to pant and growl in a seductive way. "You are just so cute, Blitz." He growled even more with satisfaction. He kissed her dearly on the forehead one last time and then regained his composure. He grabbed her arms and pulled her to her feet. "Sorry for losing control over my primal instincts. You really surprised me." He scratched his beard feeling a little embarrassed. She grabbed his tail which made him jolted awake and looked at her attentively. "Blitz, you are in charge whenever we go to save the Camelia kingdom. After the wedding. I'm counting on you." He felt her release his tail. "Now let's go see the state of my father's office. I have so much paperwork to do." He gave her a stiff salute and they both headed down the long hallway.

Meanwhile:
Viviana Culthos to set up shop in the royal blacksmith workshop. She needs to teach the next generation of blacksmiths. They begin to create and design New rune technology, weapons, armour, and uses the metal of the Rose kingdom the right way. By making cybernetic stuff.

Rose arrived at her father's office and Zerxus was there organizing things with a handful of disguised devil servants. It seems like they have the new librarians and scholars of the Rose kingdom. Isabella knocked on the door and everyone looked her way startled. "Princess, how did your talks with the soldiers go?" She gestured with her hand,"It went so-so. I see that you used your own resources to hire more help?" He gestured to the Imps and shapeshifters proudly,"They are of the best of best in hell. They will organize your kingdom affairs to the letter and gather information as your spies happily. They are under my control, so no worries Princess." She left Blitzkrieg's side and hugged the very stern looking advisor. He hugged her back dearly. "What would I do without you, Kal?" His ears twitched slightly,"That's my line, Bella." He whispered softly into her left ear. They just held each other for a little while, they both enjoyed each other's company. Meanwhile Blitz was a little confused as to who this mysterious Advisor was and where he came from.

Rose eventually retired for the night in her mother's room. It was decorated with all sorts of gems. Black pearl walls with rose gold floral designs on the edges. A hanging crimson crystal chandelier that's made out of rose gold. A queen sized bed with even more floral designs. They had a walk-in closet full of all kinds of fashioned clothes. The windows were grand and had velvet burgundy curtains decorated with gold roses and vines on the edges. They had a balcony that was made out of black & white marble with metallic vine wrapped around the columns.

Rose got cozy in her bed and immediately passed out once her head hit the pillow. Her mind drifted off to sleep and she went somewhere more familiar. She stood there on the top of a rooftop overseeing the beautiful city of New York before it was destroyed. She heard footsteps approaching from behind and two familiar figures making an appearance. But her mind couldn't remember their faces so they were just shadows. Their voices echo throughout her mind but they fell on deaf ears. "It seems like I can't remember my parents anymore. My memories are being replaced with new ones." She turned around on the ledge and spoke up,"Thanatos, much has happened but I think I did pretty good." He replaced the two figures and stepped up on the ledge. "You made me proud, my child." They both admired the pretty lights of the city glowing and sparkling. "I'm going to continue making you proud, Than. I'm going to prepare this world for war against aliens. And I'm going to reunite the whole world as one. Those alien bastards aren't going to take my new home from me."
