Ch, 10. Chloe's Coronation part 2

Marinette sighed as she scrubbed Chloe's hair to get throw up out of it. She had only been in Chloe's castle for half an hour and it felt like an eternity. How was she going to do this? How was she going to stand being there a week... or longer if she and Adrien didn't find out who killed Chloe's father and quell the rebellion in time.

Chloe curled up into a ball in her wash tub. "Don't you ever tell anyone I said this, but... thanks." She spoke sincerely. "By the way, why are you being so nice to me? I've always been so mean to you and I did interrupt you and Adrik... Adrien."

Marinette dumped a pitcher of cold water on her and laughed under her breath for the tiny amount of revenge. "Because I'm a nice person."

"Nice person my ass!" Chloe bit back.

"You had soap in your hair." Marinette smile innocently.

Chloe lowered herself down into the water and made bubbles with her mouth out of irritation.

"Need a towel?" Alya walked in with a few in her hands folded.

"And why are you here?!" Chloe shot up.

"I'm Princess Marinette's lady in waiting." Alya smirked.

"Get out." Chloe hissed.

"I'm just going to leave these here." She set the towels next to Marinette. "I don't get paid enough to deal with her." She whispered in her ear.

Marinette sighed. "Neither do I."

Adrien walked casually in the market with his hood hiding his face and mask. He listened intently to each conversation that floated past him. Mostly mundane stuff like one woman saying she needed to get her husband to stop drinking so much. The thought of alcohol made Adrien queasy. There were whispers of a rebellion, but the royal guards standing post every few feet made lips a lot tighter than they should.

One guard eyed him and grabbed his shoulder. He looked up at the giant man without showing his face.

He gave him an innocent smile. "Can I help you?"

"I don't trust you. Where are you from?" The guard squinted at him. "You seem shifty."

Adrien shrugged. "I'm just a man going about my day. How is yours so far?"

The guard blinked, but then gave him a smile. "Pretty good all things considered. At least the Princess is back from the Agreste kingdom."

Adrien nodded. "Oh yeah, how is she doing? Loosing a parent isn't easy on anyone no matter your social standing."

The guard nodded. "She's doing well."

Adrien managed to slip out of the guard's grasp, smiled, and waved. "Have a nice day."

"Have a nice day." The guard smiled and waved back.

"My purse! Thief!" a lady screamed.

Adrien saw the man running towards him. He tripped him. The man face planted on the dirt. But, he got up and kept running. Adrien pouted as he took after the man. This wasn't going to be easy.

He corned the man in an alley and pulled out his sword. His hood had come off during the chase so his messy hair and mask were showing. The man tried to climb the wall, but failed.

He then looked back at Adrien in confusion. "You're not a guard. Who are you?"

Adrien gave him a smile and a small bow. "I am Chat Noir. Protector of the innocent, righter of wrongs, solver of crimes..."

"Boring me to death." The man spoke wearily.

"Oh sorry." Adrien scratched the back of his neck. His eyes narrowed and held up his sword. "Now please return the purse you stole."

"No." The man crossed his arms.

Adrien sighed. "I guess we're doing this the hard way then."

A few moments later he walked out the alley with the purse and the thief unconscious and over his shoulder. He smiled to himself. 'and Mari was worried about me. I've got this.'

He found the woman the purse belonged to reporting to a guard. "I believe this is yours ma'am." He handed her the purse. "And I believe this is yours sir." He handed off the thief.

He then hoped onto a cart that was going by, leaving the woman and guard in disbelief.

Marinette sighed as she and Chloe picked at their lunch hoping it wasn't poisoned. Marinette sniffed her food and nothing seemed off. Chloe took a spare fork and demanded her food to be tested by a servant.

A scrawny servant took the bite and gave the princesses a thumbs up.

Marinette, still uneasy about her own plate looked up at the servant with a fork of her own food. "Would you mind testing mine too please?"

"Sure thing Princess Bridgette." The servant smiled.

"I'm Marinette." She sighed in annoyance.

"My apologies princess." The servant sweat as he took the fork.

Marinette didn't know why she was afraid to eat, but something deep down in her told her to be wary while she was there. Besides, she was maybe pregnant. As the day passed, she became more and more sure she was. Everything Chloe was saying aliened with how she felt.

She remembered Bridgette when she was pregnant, she never got sick at all. Maybe Marinette would be the same. They were twins after all. It would make sense. That night was almost two weeks ago.

She began to wonder when she and Chloe would start showing, since they obviously got pregnant around the same time.

The servant had long given her plate the all clear and she had eaten every bite.

The princesses skipped the other courses because they didn't feel like having everything taste tested for them.

Chloe held court and Marinette sat and watched. Surprisingly, Chloe did a halfway decent job fixing her subjects problems. She decided to keep her mouth shut and not bring it up. Chloe looked bored the entire time though.

Luckily, Chloe didn't throw up anymore that day.

Dinner was a repeat of lunch. The same servant tasted their food, although this time they ate a little bit more.

Marinette wondered if Adrien had anything to eat. Was he going hungry? Was he dead in a ditch?

She looked out to the night sky from her guestroom window and couldn't help but worry about her husband.

A shadow caught her attention in the courtyard of the castle. She was about to alarm the guards on the ground, but then the shadow looked up at her and she caught a glimpse of familiar eyes. He scaled the wall all without alerting anyone to his presence. She had to giggle, she was right. Her husband did have a wild side.

She retreated inside the room as he drew closer. He didn't slip once.

He was soon standing in the room in front of her. He gave her a small bow and a mischievous smirk. "If her highness doesn't mind, I was wondering if I could crash here tonight."

She giggle as he rose to his full height and she removed his mask.

"Silly kitty." She smiled as she kissed his cheek.

"I would have stayed at an inn, but my dinner cut into my budget. Prices are outrageous here. Back home if I wanted a hot meal in the village I'd need one silver piece. Here I need four." He grumbled.

She nodded. "Yeah, that's ridiculous." She crossed her arms. "It's only one back home too."

He blinked at her.

She gave him a smirk. "You really think you were the only one who likes to see how normal people live?"

He smiled, put his hands on her hips, and pulled her closer. "We really should have met sooner."

She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Agreed."

he gave her a wide smile. "I've missed you today."

She kissed him on the lips. "I've missed you too."

"Let's make love." He made his way down to her neck.

"Yes." She gasped.

"Chloe hasn't been too much of a pain I hope." He peppered kisses and licked her.

"She's actually been on her best behavior." She blushed, gasped, and moaned. "She's pregnant."

He suddenly pulled away from her with shock in his eyes. "Who's the father?"

"Nathaniel." she shrugged.

He became confused. "But they hate each other."

"I was confused too." She felt her stomach. "Speaking of..." She gazed up into his eyes. "I think I'm pregnant too, but I'm not entirely sure."

A range of emotions over came his face. He held out a hand to feel her stomach. His touch was soft as his eyes gazed into her's. Finally he gave her a breathy smile.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about the other day before she interrupted." She smiled back. "It must have happened the night of the ball."

He frowned. "I hate that I don't remember much from that night."

She nodded. "Me too." She laid her head on his chest. "If you still want to make love; I'm all for it."

Her last word had barely been off her tongue for less than a second before he pulled her closer and kissed her senseless. It took no time for their clothes to be strewn all over the room and the royal couple on the bed.

It was still dark out when he stirred awake. She grumbled and rolled over when he crawled out of the bed. She looked out the window to see what time of day it was.

"Come back to bed, it's way too early." She groaned.

"I have to leave before sun light so the guards can't see me." He pulled his pants on. "security is really lacking around the castle, you saw how easy it was for me to sneak in last night."

"Um hm." She nodded, still half asleep.

He gave her a warm smile she didn't see. "I'll be back tonight."

"You better." Her eyes were closed with her head in her hand and her elbow on her knee.

"Take it easy My Lady." He tied his sword to his side.

She yawned.

He tied his mask and left his bed head alone. He knelt down and kissed her on the cheek. "See you tonight."

"Be careful." She yawned again.

"I will." he walked over to the window. Before he climbed out, he took one more look at her. "Don't miss me too much My Lady."

she smirked. "Well leave already so I can miss you."

He chuckled as he climbed out.

The rest of the week went just about the same as the frist day, Adrien would show up in the dark of the night, he and Marinette would catch up on the day's events and either just cuddle till they fell asleep or passionately make love. He'd leave while it was still dark out. Then Marinette would tend to Chloe throughout the day. Chloe had seemingly grew up from her pettiness and really stepped up to be queen.

It was the day of her coronation. The castle was buzzing with activity. Guest were arriving.

Marinette paced the stage in the throne room waiting for everything to start so she, Alya, and Adrien could leave and not be in danger of assassination.

"Marinette? What are you pacing for?" Bridgette's voice came to her ears.

She looked up from the floor and smiled wide. "Bridgette?" She ran to her twin. "When did you get here?"

"A few minutes ago, when did you get here?" Bridgette hugged her twin.

"I've been here all week." Marinette hugged her back.

"Why?" Bridgette pulled away from her sister.

"It's..." Marinette froze. She couldn't keep a secret from her twin. She whispered in her ear why she was there.

Bridgette nodded. "wow."

"And you can't tell anyone." Marinette stared her twin in the eyes.

"I won't." Bridgette gasped.

"Your highness's, please take a seat. The ceremony will begin shortly." A servant pointed to a pew in front of the throne.

Marinette didn't recognize this servant. She had mentally memorized every servant's face she could. This one... this man didn't seem... right. Her gut felt uneasy.

The rest of the guests started to fill out the room as Bridgette sat down and beckoned her sister to do the same.

The ceremony began and Chloe looked miserable as the priest was reading his text. The crown... the crown looked off to Marinette.

The priest was about to place the crown on Chloe's head, but a knife came out of nowhere and knocked the gold object from the old man's hands reveling blades on the inside.

Marinette looked up and found the open window where the knife and from and breathed a sigh of relief when her eyes landed on her husband.

Everyone else panicked and fled the throne room.

Bridgette tried to pull Marinette with her and the rest of the crowd, but Marinette broke free and helped a frozen Chloe off the floor.

"Who? What?" Was all Chloe could say.

Marinette watched as the servant that made her feel uneasy was trying to run, she gestured to Adrien what was going on and he picked up on it, swinging down on a curtain and blocking the man with his sword.

The man drew his own sword and jabbed at Adrien. Adrien blocked and gave him a sly smile. Finally, he could show off his skills to his wife.

The dual lasted for a few moments, until the ladies got tired of watching the endless fight. Marinette picked up a vase and hit the assailant over the head with it, effectively breaking the vase. The man fell to the floor and past out.

Adrien rolled his eyes under his mask as he put up his sword, but kept his smile. "Just when I was about to best him fair and square." He gave her a flirty wink.

She rolled her own eyes, but smiled. "You looked like you were getting tired." she crossed her arms. "I was helping."

He grabbed one of her hands and gave it a light kiss. "Thanks for the help Princess."

She giggled.

Chloe gasped. "Marinette!" she looked over to Bridgette. "That's Marinette right?" she pointed and Bridgette nodded.

"Rule of thumb, I, Bridgette wear dark pinks. Marinette wears light pinks." Bridgette crossed her arms.

"Marinette!" Chloe focused back to her. "Are you flirting with a man that isn't your husband?"

Marinette and Adrien rolled their eyes as Bridgette sighed.

"That is Adrien." Bridgette groaned.

"No it's not." Chloe crossed her arms.

Adrien removed his mask. "Bridgette's right. I am Adrien."

"Although it's supposed to be a secret." Marinette crossed her own arms.

"Oops. I thought it was obvious." Bridgette covered her mouth. "So who's this guy and why is he trying to kill Chloe?"

Chloe shrugged. "I've never seen him before."

The man on the floor groaned as he began to come to. Adrien put his mask back on and Marinette rejoined her sister and Chloe. He looked up and focused his eyes on the still living Chloe. "Death to all Bourgeois." He hissed.

Chloe hid behind the twins.

"I'm not Chloe's biggest fan either, but why kill her and her father?" Bridgette asked.

Adrien unsheathed his sword and held it to the man's throat. "I suggest you answer her highness."

Marinette glared at both the man and her husband. Adrien felt the daggers she was staring at him with and gulped. "Yeah, why kill King Andre? The man never did anything wrong."

The man stared daggers of his own at her. "Taxed his people an arm and leg to keep his daughter's spending habits satiated."

"Oh." Chloe sank onto the floor, hiding herself more behind the twins.

Adrien put up his sword and tied the man's hands behind his back.

"There are others like me, others who want to see the end of the Bourgeois." He shouted as Adrien pulled him up off the ground and led him away from the princesses to find a guard who could lock him up.

Chloe was crowned with a blade free crown later that day.

Marinette hugged Bridgette goodbye before she climbed into her carriage. "Don't be a stranger, come visit Adrien and me anytime."

Bridgette hugged her back. "as long as you visit home once and a while."

Marinette giggled. "I'll have to convince Adrien's father to let him come along. He's technically not allowed out of the borders."

Bridgette nodded. "That's why you two wanted Chat Noir's identity to remain a secret."

"Yeah." Marinette smiled.

Bridgette smiled wide. "I wont tell a soul... except Felix."

The twins giggled as they let go of each other and waved. A coachman helped Bridgette up and she was soon on her way home. Adrien smiled from his view point in a near by tree. It must be nice to have a sibling.

Marinette turned her attention to Chloe when her sister's carriage was out of sight. "Are you going to be ok?"

Chloe shrugged. "I'll be fine. I just need to lower taxes and learn to not spend as much."

Marinette gave her a wide smile. "I'm really proud of you. You've grown up a lot this week."

Chloe rolled her eyes. "I have to grow up." she rubbed her belly. "It's just us now and Daddy can't bail me out."

Marinette gave her a hug. "Good luck" She let go. "You're going to be a great mom."

"All packed." Alya walked up with their bags. "Can we leave now?"

Marinette rolled her eyes and nodded.

Adrien stretched and jumped down from his spot. Time to meet back up with the boys.
