Bringing her home
The ride back to the Duke’s mansion was awkward and silent. For one, the two couple in front of the heir was simply staring at the duke. For another, the duke was simply holding onto the Princess.
Y: “Your majesty?”
W: “What is it?”
D: “Why do you care for the princess so much?”
W: “Are you questioning me?”
Wednesday stared at them. With anger fuming in her eyes.
Y: “Our apologies, we did not mean to suggest such a thought, it's simply we have been beside the princess since she was born.”
W: “Oh, do tell, how she ended up in that tower?”
D: “She had refused to go to war in her brothers’ place.”
W: “Why should an omega go to war without any prior training?”
D: “The former queen hated the fact that the princess was an omega, a girl. She tried to send the Princess to war to die.”
W: “I should torture her before the trial.”
Wednesday had muttered out.
W: “When was the last time you had seen the Princess?”
Y: “A few weeks before the announcement made by the late king about you being the heir.”
D: “Usually no one is allowed to see her or get near her. But we have our ways…”
W: “Do tell.”
Y: “We aren’t human…well not your average humans.”
D: “We are supernaturals.”
W: “And here I thought the only supernaturals in the country were the King and queen, as well as the Addams clan.”
Y: “We are everywhere but nowhere, we are seen but not saw, and we are are heard but disregarded.”
W: “And with that we remember who we were doing all of this for.”
Wednesday smirks and Yoko gives a light laugh.
W: “I never thought I would meet a legacy here.”
D: “Legacy?”
W: “You are mated to this Legacy and she never told you?”
Wednesday immediately pulls out a wooden stake and slams it into Yoko’s chest. Yoko barely flinches even as the stare went through her heart.
Yoko was still alive and breathing when the wooden stake was pulled out.
Y: “Wood does nothing to us.”
D: “Love! You’re bleeding!”
W: “That tends to happen when you get staked in the heart.”
Y: “It’s truly a pleasure to meet the next heir to the dukedom and kingdom. My job as a Legacy was simply to keep an eye on the kingdom’s heir, an advisor for the late king.”
W: “Yes, I remember a child legacy would be chosen should the former advisor choose to step down, to aid the king and the next, this child will carry on as an advisor to protect the kingdom, they would put down whoever is undeserving of the throne.”
Y: “You know the Legacies well considering we hide so well.”
W: “Father is a man who believes that skills do not simply mean fighting with a sword, one’s knowledge must be full. It doesn’t matter whether you know it or whether it has nothing to do with you. Knowledge is a weapon, just as my words are.”
Y: “I, Yoko Tanaka, the legacy advisor for the King of Nevermore. Swear on my legacy to serve Sir Wednesday Friday Addams and lady Enid Sinclair until the end of time. Shall I fail to do so I shall be staked to the heart and left to time to consume.”
W: “And I Wednesday Friday Addams the next king accept your oath, Legacy Yoko Tanaka.”
Wednesday smiles at the oath Yoko had just spoken, not many knew of that oath as time had taken the oath.
Yoko awkwardly smiles when she smelled the angering pheromones from her mate.
Y: “Di-Div?”
D: “Yes?”
Divina had replied in anger.
Y: “I promise I will explain everything to you!”
D: “You better! Or I truly will let Sir Wednesday stab you again.”
W: “I would enjoy the gore, but I do not believe my future mate would enjoy seeing holes in her best friend.”
Yoko laughs.
W: “Divina I believe is a siren.”
D: “H-how did you know?”
W: “You wear the necklace made by the Addams clan to help render the siren song useless.”
D: “You are simply perfect for the Princess.”
Y: “Back to the main point. Why do you care for the Princess so much?”
W: “A few years ago, a banquet was held, for my celebration as a genius of the country.”
Y: “Yes, I remember.”
W: “Princess Enid I believe was three years old. She was one of the few children who didn’t look at me with jealousy or disgust rather curiosity.”
Y: “She was pretty cute back then.”
W: “Thus the Addams made a pact with the late King. For lady Enid’s hand in marriage, I would serve in the war.”
D: “The Addams…chose to marry a child as colourful as lady Enid?”
W: “Father took notice of my interests in her, mother was simply elated that I took notice of someone.”
Y: “But all contact with the princess was silently cut off.”
W: “Yes, we couldn’t find her. Surprise me, when Esther a foolish queen acted like she knew everything but didn’t, said I would marry Lady Enid. She gave me the best clue to punishing her.”
Suddenly, the carriage came to a stop. The door opens and a young butler stood outside the door.
EG: “Welcome back Weds.”
W: “I’m home Eugene.”
Eugene stretched a hand out for the two ladies after Wednesday quickly got off the carriage. Only for an axe to fly towards Wednesday, which was caught with one hand that had been removed from Enid’s back.
W: “Pugsley, your aiming is terrible as usual.”
Pg: “HAHAHAHAHA! Sister welcome home!”
W: “Truly, how dreadful.”
M: “Now, now Pugsley, come down and greet your sister. I believe the one in your arms is the Princess?”
W: “Yes mother.”
G: “la mia vipera è a casa?”
(Is my viper home?)
W: “saludos padre. He vuelto con mi futura pareja y sus dos amigas.”
(greetings, father. I have returned with my future mate and her two friends.)
G: “How is she?”
W: “Traumatized. I have some rubbish to clear, thus I will be in my office. And father the legacy has sworn.”
Gomez Addams, the duke of the Addams clan. Morticia Addams the lady of the Addams Clan, Pugsley and Pubert Addams the two alpha sons of the Addams clan and Pugsley is the heir to the dukedom.
W: “Where is Pubert?”
M: “I believe he said he had a surprise for you.”
Wednesday sighed, and turn towards Yoko. She walks to her and gently passes Enid into Yoko’s hands.
W: “Follow Eugene up to my room, do be careful I have traps laid there. Eugene, please ensure they get safely there and any toys left by Pugsley and Pubert is thrown out the window.”
E: “Right. Shall I lead the two ladies to their room afterwards.”
W: “Yes.”
M: “Manners…”
Wednesday groans and Eugene chuckles.
W: “Please.”
Lurch had already begun to move all the pieces of luggage into the house.
W: “Thank you Lurch.”
A groan was the only one that was heard before a boy shouting came flying towards them.
P: “MARUKA!!!!”
Wednesday dodge sideways as the boy slams into Yoko.
W: “Pubert, Maruka does not mean flying at me.”
P: “What does it mean?! Father refuses to explain to me.”
Yoko was pushed onto the ground.
W: “Figure it out on your own, you still have time.”
Pubert pouted while Wednesday lets out a soft smile.
G: “Mia Vipera.”
W: “Sí?”
G: “Cosa le è successo veramente?”
(What happened to her truly?)
W: “Only she can tell you the truth. But I don’t suggest you ask now, the trauma is deep, it's on her body possibly carved into the very soul.”
G: “I see. May the late king rest in peace with the knowledge the pact has been fulfilled.”
W: “Truly.”
M: “Do you think she has any memories of the castle, she is still young.”
W: “Perhaps. But she is family now, and family always come first.”
G: “You are right.”
Pg: “Can I play with her?”
W: “No.”
Giving her brother a deadpan stare.
Pg: “Why not?”
W: “She needs time to recover.”
Pg: “Fine.”
Pugsley pouted and his shoulder slunts slightly but then smiles evilly.
Pg: “You didn’t say you wouldn’t play with me.”
W: “Pugsley, you are turning ten, have you finished your Maruka training? You do know if you want to become the Duke you not only have to defeat father but me as well.”
Pg: “I-uh…I’ll be leaving, father, mother, see you never.”
Wednesday smirks at her brother’s reaction.
W: “Pubert, your aim needs to be perfected. Now, if you need me, I’ll be in my office.”
Pugsley nods his head enthusiastically.
M: “Dinner shall be ready soon, grandmama has prepared your favourite.”
Wednesday was already halfway to the house.
W: “Ring me.”
Wednesday replies walking away.
