THIRD PERSON POV

It was the day of the summit with the prime minister and his goons. Helvisa was just taking some fresh air in the garden when Adelina went to see her. "How's life for you?" She asked.

"Good. Believe it or not, I was a waitress before coming to the castle."

Adelina chuckled. "Seriously? Why didn't you ask for my help until now? You know I would gladly give you four some money or gold."

"You've done so much for us. We don't want to burden the empress like we used to."

Adelina sighed. "You've done nothing of that sort. You’d been a great soldier for my army a while back ago."

Helvisa faced the empress. "We let the enemy killed your husband, why aren't you mad at us?"

Adelina looked at the ocean view. "He lived for a few months before he died. He was asking for you. He wanted to thank you for all the happiness you granted us with. He didn't get to do so because you were gone without a trace."

Helvisa blamed herself for what happened many years ago.

"Why are you here of all places?" The empress asked.

"We found solace here. It's peaceful. We're happy. The people are nice. Armina and the others love it here. We had no idea that this island was on the verge of being attacked after so long. When I came across those war reports, I knew I had to protect this island, so my friends can be happy."

"Somehow, I don't think that's why you called for us. Tell me."

Helvisa knew she never could hide anything from Adelina. "The prince, he made us promise that we would protect his mother and sister from any kind of harm."

Adelina thought of something. “I’ve never seen the king. Where is he?"

Helvisa chuckled. "Probably in some room, having sex with the younger maids or prostitutes he managed to get his hands on."

Adelina was surprised. "What do you mean?"

Helvisa chuckled. "Exactly what I said."

Adelina understood and followed Helvisa to the castle.

Inside, everyone was busy getting the castle ready for its guests. Gisele was extremely nervous for this particular summit because everything she said before will be judged by that prime minister and the other ministers.

"Everything will be all right, my queen." Armina tried to calm her down.

"I hope so. I don't want this island to be in their hands."

Armina placed the Gavreau crown jewel on the queen's head as the last accessory she need for today's event. ”If you feel like you need help, just turned to Adelina and let her speak. She will help you in every way possible. Don't be afraid to ask for help, my queen. Helvisa, Reina, Eris and I will be waiting by the door in the shadows. We will only speak when we need to." She turned the queen's body around and smiled. "Be brave, my queen. You've handled life perfectly while married to the king. I'm sure little prime ministers won't harm you." Armina went to the door and opened it.

Gisele walked out of her chamber followed by Armina. Soon Eris and Reina joined in and walked behind the queen as well. Adelina smiled and walked side by side with Gisele as Helvisa walked behind them. Emma and Alice joined in this walk, and they all went to the war room.

"Tell me. How bad is this prime minister?" Emma asked.

"I think he has bad breath." Helvisa said nonchalantly.

Emma laughed together with Alice.

"Behave." Helvisa said in her low voice.

Both Emma and Alice coughed out their laughter and sat down as they waited for their guest of 'honour'.

"How she does that, I have no idea." Gisele said.

Adelina smiled. "Helvisa knows how to control them. That's all."

Armina heard a knock on the door and went to open it. "Presenting the arrival of the prime minister and his colleagues." She said without a care in the world.

The prime minister buried down his anger when the maid didn't even introduce him properly. The other ministers were frozen when they came face to face with the trio. Meanwhile, the prime minister was busy cursing under his breath. When he looked up, he choked on his own saliva. "What ..." only God knew how confused and shocked he was to see the grand duchess of Sacia, the princess of Olaria and the Empress of Sliria all gather in one room facing him.

"Meet Grand Duchess Emma of Sacia Kingdom."

Emma stared at them for not bowing down.

"You know. Meeting a royalty means you have to bow as respect." Armina mocked.

The prime minister and the others stood up from their chair and bowed down.

"Honestly, how rude are you to your own queen? Such bad breeder your parents are." Emma was being straightforward.

"Meet princess Alice of Olaria kingdom."

They bow to Alice.

"Last but of course not the least, Empress Adelina of Sliria Kingdom."

The prime minister bowed down his head to the empress who ruled with her iron fist.

Helvisa smirked when those lowlife showed how scared and wrong they were. She nodded her head to the queen.

"What will be your decision? Should we fight back the Grugary, or you would like to just give up this island, where your ancestors work hard on developing to the hands of a greedy ruler?"

Adelina was impressed by how determined Gisele was to protect her kingdom.

"Tell us something. How would you even defend this island when there's nothing in the army to begin with?" The prime minister was confident in his own question.

"What's your name, prime minister?" Alice asked.

"Sir Adrian."

Alice nodded her head. "If I may say so..." she turned to Gisele.

Gisele nodded her head back.

"How many years have you been this Kingdom's prime minister?"

“A few years." Adrian replied.

"Hmmm." Alice turned to Gisele. "He's useless."

Adrian was speechless by that reply. "What do you mean? I'm doing my job splendidly."

Alice scoffed. "All right, tell me. Why do you insist on giving Grugary kingdom to Helmine? Enlighten me." Alice challenge him.

Adrian stuttered with his reply.

Helvisa waited patiently for this 'boy' to answer Alice's question.

***

"Enough!" Adelina suddenly voiced out her mind.

Adrian and his goons stopped arguing with Gisele.

"How STUPID are you to questioned your queen's decision?!"

Adrian had nothing to say to the empress.

"I have never seen such a repulsive minister like what I'm witnessing today. If you were in Sliria, your head would be beheaded."

Adrian felt his cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Gisele, you don't need these pathetic losers in your kingdom. With their method of solving problems, this kingdom would be in debt a few years in the future."

Helvisa chuckled. Adelina could be bold if she needed to be.

"We've concluded this discussion. We'll fight back." Adelina stood up together with Emma and Alice. "No silly minister can stop us. I am the EMPRESS for god’s sake!" She turned her body as she walked out of the war room.

Helvisa smirked at Adrian before she offered her hand to Gisele. "You just earned yourself one ticket to hell." She said before leading the queen out of the war room.

"You shouldn't say that." Gisele voiced out when she walked towards her chamber.

Helvisa ignored her and was about to open the door when she heard a series of sex sounds coming from the queen's chamber.

"Looks like he's busy again."

Helvisa couldn’t believe how composed she was. "There's no way I'll let this slide." She didn't even care what Gisele said when she barged through the door and watched the king thrust his shaft inside a brown haired woman. she grabbed the king by his hair and threw his body across the room.

Gisele watched this without a care for her husband’s well-being.

"Get out. Save yourself." Helvisa said without taking her eyes off the king.

The naked woman quickly stood up and bowed down to Gisele. "I'm sorry, my queen." She was crying. She didn't even bother to pick her clothes up.

"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!" The king roared.

Helvisa grabbed him by the neck and slammed his back on the wall. "You're asking me what is my problem? What is your problem?" She asked him back as he struggled to breathe again. "You have a son, a daughter, and a wife to take care of and protect, yet you're here FUCKING other women on YOUR WIFE'S bed!" She said through gritted teeth.

Armand grabbed Helvisa's hands and tried to remove them by himself but failed. He was sure he was going to die when Gisele placed her hands on Helvisa's shoulders.

"Let him go."

Helvisa clicked her tongue and dropped him like a rag doll.

"Get out, Armand."

Helvisa smirked.

"What? You can't do that, I AM THE KING!"

Gisele glared. "I can, and I shall! You've done enough torturing to me and our kids. From now on, you will be stripped from your title as King of Gavreau. You’re just a peasant in my eyes now. GET OUT!" She yelled the last part.

Armand stood up and slapped his wife as hard as he could. He didn't stop when he climbed on her body and used his fist to teach his wife.

Gisele used her arms to protect herself, but before Armand could even hit her, Helvisa grabbed his fist and crushed the bones.

Armand's screams filled the room. He unmounted Gisele's body while holding his now broken hand. "YOU WILL PAY FOR DISRESPECTING THE KING!" He screamed.

"YOU ARE NO KING TO ME!" Helvisa literally growled a him.

Gisele was worried Helvisa might turn to her true form when she saw how Helvisa's eyes slightly turned reddish.

"GET OUT!" Helvisa growled with her low voice. "GET OUT NOW!" She thought that Armand might be scared to his bones, but when she felt a slight pain on her right eye, she noticed that the king actually stabbed her with a steak knife.

Armand actually laughed at her, but when she didn't show any kind of weakness from his attempt, he fell on his butt and moved backwards using his hands. "Stay away! STAY AWAY FROM ME, YOU MONSTER!"

The queen froze when she saw Helvisa's eye was stabbed, and blood started to drip on her cheek.

"You, ... scum of the humans, make me want to kill every last bit of your kind and drag them to hell myself."

By now, the queen knew that Helvisa was not herself.

"You ... hurt the queen enough." Helvisa said with her low voice before grabbing the king's neck and dangling him up in the air. "You ... shall die ... for the happiness of the queen!" She was about to used her hand to pierce through Armand’s chest when the chamber's door was kicked open.

"Helvisa, put the king down." Armina instructed.

"Oh no, her bloodlust is showing." Emma pointed out.

"HELVISA, put the king DOWN!"

Helvisa growled at Armina.

"HELVISA BALZAC!" Armina yelled.

"Get up and command her." Adelina offered her hand to the queen. "She only listens to you now. She's protecting you." She explained.

Gisele was trembling.

Adelina hold her hands and smiled. "Believe me when I say you can control a demon girl." She gave Gisele a little push.

"Helvisa, put him down."

Automatically, Helvisa dropped him to the floor.

When Helvisa turned to face the queen, Gisele was shocked to see Helvisa's true form. A deep scar across her eyes connecting to her cheek and mouth and running down to her chest was visible. The next thing that happened was beyond the queen’s prediction when Helvisa actually bowed down to her.

"Oh, ... that's new." Alice chuckled.

Gisele was confused.

"Her demon side is bowing to you. That means she likes you. Her demon side will protect your life and follow your orders. Whatever you say.” Adelina explained.

"This is ... her demon side."

Adelina nodded. "That's Helvisa’s true form. She doesn't talk much, but when she does, it means business."

Emma cleared her throat. "I think the real question now is what should we do to this low life?” She slammed her hand on the wall to forbid Armand to escape.

"He will be cast and stripped off from his title."

Armand laughed. "You can't do that, the crown prince is my son.”

"I am no son to you. You hurt Helvisa." Gaultier voiced out.

"Gaultier? You saw everything?" Gisele was surprised.

Gaultier nodded

"Technically, the queen has the power to cast people out. I have a perfect place for that." Adelina suggested. "The Isla of Chaos, my playground." She smiled.

***

"Finally... some time to ourselves." Emma said while enjoyed her bath in the Gavreau's famous hot spring.

"It's like my problems are just leaving my mind and soul." Alice said breathlessly.

"I'm glad you all enjoy it." Gisele smiled.

"I must say this, Queen Gisele, that is one of the nicest racks I've ever seen, and trust me, I've seen a lot of them while I was single." Emma voiced out.

Gisele blushed when Alice stared at her chest for such a long time.

"Don't be creepy." Emma said before smacking the back of Alice's head.

"Ow.." Alice rubbed her head. "Anyway, what do you think of Adelina's body when she comes in later?"

Emma was confused. "What do you mean, Alice?"

Alice sighed. "Dude, she's seventy years old! I mean the spell might only be working for her face but her body?"

Emma finally understood what Alice tried to explain.

"Do you think it will be all saggy?"

Emma and Alice cringed when they tried to imagine an old lady naked.

"Sorry we're late."

Armina and Reina opened the door for the empress.

Both Emma and Alice gulped their saliva waiting for the moment of truth. They were shocked when Adelina had the body that matched her young face. They both gave the empress a blank stare.

"What is wrong with you two?" The empress asked before walking in the huge hot spring followed by Armina and Reina.

"Where's Helvisa and Eris?" Gisele asked.

Emma, Alice and Adelina looked at each other.

"She didn't know?" Adelina asked.

Armina placed her hand on the empress’s shoulder. "I'm sorry, my queen. She's at the bath next to us with Eris."

Gisele noticed the girls behind Armina wanted to say something, but Reina stopped them.

"Hey Adelina, how come your breasts and body don’t sag like they’re supposed to? I thought the spell only works for your face." Emma was being brave.

"Sorry? I thought I heard someone talking. Probably just me being silly." Adelina completely ignored Emma's question.

Armina tilted her head when she noticed her queen was not enjoying herself. "Something wrong, my queen?"

Gisele shook her head. "It's just since that man was cast out to Isla of Chaos, his family has been coming to this castle demanding explanation. How do I explain to them that he's been cheating on me? I've been lying to them about him all these years."

Reina went to the queen’s sight and touched her forehead. Gisele suddenly felt lightheaded, and she fell asleep on Reina's shoulder. "It's best for her not to think about that now." She explained her action.

"You shouldn't do that to the queen." Armina reasoned.

"She may be the queen, but Helvisa is my master. She said if Gisele ever thinks about him or his family I can make her go to sleep."

Adelina turned to Emma and Alice. "How fast will your army come to this island?"

Emma and Alice looked at each other and pointed at themselves.

Adelina nodded.

"Twenty days by sea. Five hours by plane." Emma explained.

"A week by sea. Two hours by plane." Alice added.

"By sea as in?"

Emma smirked. "Submarines and fleet, of course."

Adelina and Emma turned to Alice.

"Fleet. I don't own any submarines. What about yours?" Alice asked the empress.

"Fifteen days by sea. Four hours by plane. Submarines and fleet."

Emma noticed Adelina seemed to be thinking about something. ”I wonder if we’ll ever need tanks."

Armina lifted the empress’s chin and smiled. "No need to think about work now. Relax. Enjoy yourself." Adelina seemed to be in a trance as she slowly drifted to sleep.

"What did you do?" Emma asked.

"She needs to rest." Was all Armina said before letting Adelina rest her head on the rock.

"She'll kill you when she wakes up later on. You know." Alice warned.

Armina waved it off and relaxed her body in the hot spring. "It's been so long since we have this much fun."

Emma smiled.

"And you two are mothers now."

Alice chuckled. "I remember when you were forced to be the midwife." She laughed.

"Yeah, I never knew bringing a life to the world was hard work." Armina sighed. "And so much blood." She added.

"Blame Helvisa for that." Emma chuckled.

"Why would you blame me for that? Emma, you're the one who said you'll bare my child."

Emma blushed.

"And you, you trick me."

Alice looked away.

"But, I'm glad you both survive. At least you have an heir for the throne."

Suddenly, they remembered something, and their eyes were on Helvisa.

"Don't get any ideas. She listens to her now." Helvisa pointed at Gisele.

"Oh yeah, you're right. Your demon side bowed down to her. Lucky her." Emma scoffed. "That demon girl didn't even bow to me. How rude." She mumbled.

Armina chuckled. "She only chooses someone who is compatible with her. Meaning she's ..."

they all turned to Gisele.

"Helvisa's mate." Eris finished Armina's sentence.

Helvisa turned around and left them all. She had no time for that now. There were even more important things to think about than mates and relationships. "

Why her... why do you even bow to her. Why!" Helvisa punched her own chest. "Stop beating! I am dead! I AM DEAD! I HAVE NO HEART!" She dropped to her knees as her demon side threatened to show itself.

"You ... shall not ... defy me... ANYMORE!" Her demon side growled inside her mind.

Her hands were both on her head when a sudden pain attacked her head.

"You ... let ... Adelina reject us! YOU ... LET ... HER ... GO!"

Helvisa screamed when her brain was about to explode.

"I ... will ... take ... over ... THIS BODY!"

Helvisa couldn’t let that happen. She stabbed her own chest using her own hands to stopped her demon side from emerging. "Not ... today ..." she said breathlessly. "Not today..." she whispered before standing up and going to her room. She was lucky that no one saw her bleeding like that.
