You give a small smile before it disappears.
"What if he doesn't come home?"
Vitamin barks and you wipe a tear away. A knock makes you both look up and you walk to the door, Vitamin hot on your heels (he loves people but he'll still bark at a nigga).
You stare at the two bald headed women as they explain why they are here.
And you followed.

Vitamin dashes to Erik who walks over, grinning.
"Jendayi!"
"Erik..."
He hugs you; kissing you.
"Sorry I didn't come get you sooner. I had to...assert my rule."
"Erik...what did you do?"
"I got revenge for my father and now, I'm going to rewrite history."
"What?"
Erik had told you his life story and you hadn't run (or told him he's insane). He always meant it when he said you're his queen. He wants you for his queen.
"My king."
"W'Kabi! This is my wife, Jendayi."
W'Kabi looks at you.
"I've seen you...are you not..."
"You have me mistaken for someone else."
Vitamin growls and you blink.
"Vitamin! Sit!"
He obeys but still growls at W'Kabi. The woman—Okoye you think she said her name is—gives a small smile.
"Vitamin..."
He barks.
"Dear Ra...Vitamin you can't bark at men. I know they're trash—"
"Hey!" Erik says.
You ignore him as you pick Vitamin up and kiss his nose.
"But please no barking or growling."
Vitamin whines and you laugh. Okoye smiles.
"He likes women?"
"A lot more than men. He nearly bit Erik when they first met. You can pet him."
Okoye pets vitamin's head and he grins making her give a small smile.
"Can you show my wife to our room please?"
Okoye nods and you put vitamin down, following after the woman.
💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
You shower, dress, and then go exploring, Vitamin following after you. You find the catacombs and with a Dora Milaje named Ayo, you walk around till you get to the still smokey Land of the dead.
"What...what happened?"
"The king...he ordered the herbs burned."
"What?"
Ayo explains and you become furious.
"Ayo...I ask you don't mention what you see to my husband."
"Your secret is safe with me my queen."
She salutes and you nod.
"Vitamin; go sit next to Ayo."
He obeys and Ayo smiles at him.
You take a deep breath, eyes closed before your hands begin to glow a lapis blue. You open your eyes and direct your magic. It travels through the room, the priest, Priestess, and servants watching in awe as you restore the Land of the Dead to what it was before Erik.
