Son of the Queen

Chapter 12

Naruto smiled at the Romans as he told them his story of defeating Saturn (Kronos) and how he became a god. He left out the parts about Jupiter (Zeus) turning traitor since it would only cause trouble and affect Jason.

He didn't want to start anything, especially after their defeat of Crius (Krios) in hand to hand combat.

"Y-You're a god?" Reyna stuttered out, breaking the silence.

"Yes I am Reyna. I am the King of Olympus, God of Justice, Time, Energy, Nature, Peace, the Beasts and Heroes" he said as they continued to stare at him in shock.

"B-But what about Jupiter?" Jason asked confused as to why his father wasn't king anymore.

"A prophecy was created long ago about a child of my mother defeating an old evil and ascending to godhood and ruling Olympus. Jupiter stood down and I am now in charge" he said as he looked at his electric blue ring on his left hand as it sat on his middle finger.

"I have come to tell you I must stand down as Pontifex Maximus" he said as the Romans grew sad and he could feel it. "But fret not! I will visit and make sure all of you still keep up with your training!" he said as they cheered.

"And what was this I saw when I got here!? Raising Reyna up and chanting Praetor?" he asked as they cheered louder and Reyna blushed in embarrassment.

"My last act as Pontifex Maximus will be to give her the role of Praetor! Is this what you what!?" he yelled as they cheered louder and stood up.

Naruto smiled as Reyna blushed harder but stood up and kept her calm façade.

"Bring out the brand and then we can celebrate like Romans do!" he yelled as they continued to cheer.

Setting his hand on Reyna's shoulder he smiled at her "You deserve this Reyna, when I first saw you here I knew you'd ascend to a higher role" he said as she smiled at him and nodded her head.

He watched as she gained the mark of praetor and was lifted off into the massive dining hall as he followed behind them. He would miss spending as much time with them all but he knew they would continue to thrive and grow stronger.

The celebration was full of excitement and the goblets never went empty with their drinks.

He frowned at the time. It was getting late and he still needed to talk with Aphrodite about everything that has happened.

He didn't want to stop the celebration so he silently headed out of the dining hall and to his house in New Rome.

As he neared his house he heard a voice clear their throat "Leaving so soon?"

Naruto turned around to see Reyna standing behind him with a large smile. "Shouldn't I be saying the same? You left the party when you are the guest of honor" he said as she smirked and crossed her arms.

"Well I wanted to say goodbye to you before you left back to Olympus" she said as she followed him inside.

He summoned a clone silently to pack his things since he didn't know how to divide his presence like the other gods do.

"Well I can always visit when I have the time" he said as he ruffled her hair making her pout and swat his hand away.

"I know but it won't be the same Naruto" she said as she stared at the ground. "You've always been here for me and with you gone it feels like I've lost a piece of family"

Naruto frowned as he hugged her close to him "Reyna you will always be welcomed in my temple. Here" he said as he handed her a special tag. "Put that in your new home. Whenever you want to visit touch it with a small drop of blood and you will come to my temple"

She smiled as she held it in her hand and wiped some tears from her cheeks. "Are you sure that I won't be a bother?" she asked as he shook his head.

"Nonsense, I see you as family and no matter the time or day you can always come to visit" he said as he rubbed her back, silently placing his blessing on her.

"Thank you Naruto" she said as she hugged him again.

"Anytime Reyna, I have to go but enjoy your party and be the strong and great praetor I know you can be" he said as he hugged her back.

She smiled and nodded as she left his house.

He sighed as the clone returned with the things he needed. Grabbing them from the clone he warped away from New Rome, to his new home in Olympus.

-Olympus – Naruto's Temple-

Naruto smiled as he was instantly tackled by Matatabi as she nuzzled against him.

"Nya! Naru-chan I can finally hug you!" Matatabi purred out until Kurama pulled her off of him.

"You are crushing him Matatabi" Kurama huffed out as Matatabi sulked in a corner making the others sweat drop. Kurama turned to him and smiled "So how did the Romans take it?"

"They took it well and accepted it. I gave Reyna permission to come visit whenever" he said as they nodded.

"So now that we are free what is going to happen?" Gyuki asked as the others nodded. "We left you with some of our chakra and since apparently we are in your domain you can summon us whenever and use our forms even when we are out of you".

"You are all free to go wherever you want. There is no one who can seal you away or hold you down. And Aphrodite will most likely help hide you all with her mist. All I ask is that you all keep in touch" he said as Matatabi purred.

"But I don't want to leave~" Matatabi purred out as Naruto chuckled.

"You are all welcome to stay in my temple since I modified it for areas for each of you. You are my family, I'm not going to kick you all out" he said as Matatabi nearly tackled him again.

"Tabi!" Kokuo scolded the large cat "If you are going to try and cuddle him then make yourself smaller"

Matatabi pouted until she shrunk to the size of a normal housecat, being that they were made of pure energy they could change their appearance but only when it came to size.

Naruto chuckled as the now smaller blue flaming two tailed cat jumped onto him and rested in his hair.

"We will stay here for a bit and decide what to do. We will look around the world and figure out where we want to stay" Son Goku said as Naruto nodded.

"Well look around and make yourselves comfortable" he said as they started to change sizes and scatter off until it was him, Kurama and a now sleeping Matatabi left.

Kurama took the size of a large dog with his nine tails still behind him. "Your mate is inside with your mother. She was a bit nervous around us until your mom told her everything"

"Well I'm glad she is good with you all" he said as they headed inside.

Every time he saw Aphrodite his breath was taken away. Her long dirty blonde hair that still gave her the aura of beauty to her dazzling indigo eyes always stunned him by the beauty she gave off.

"Naruto your back" she said as she hugged him and gave him a light kiss on the cheek until his mother cleared her throat making the goddess of love jump and move away from him.

"I'm just kidding Aphrodite, you can kiss him and everything" Hera said as her eyes flashed purple for a quick moment, still showing she had bits of Kushina's personality.

"I am so proud of you though Sochi" she said as she stroked his cheek. "You have led New Rome to a brighter time and I know you will do the same with Olympus"

He smiled as he nodded and help Aphrodite's hand in his. "I will do everything in my power to make things smoother than Zeus has made it"

Hera smiled as she kissed her son's cheek, petting the cat on his head "Well there is a meeting in the morning so don't stay up too late having fun" she said as she winked at the now blushing couple before darting out of the temple.

Kurama chuckled at them as Naruto set Matatabi down next to him "You two go and talk, I'll make sure no one bothers you" he said as Naruto flashed him a thankful smile as they walked off to his bedroom to talk.

'I'm happy for you Kit' Kurama thought as he rested his head on his arms with a smile. 'You went through with your promise to us and you finally found someone to be with'.

Naruto still had a blush as he led her to his room so they could talk "Sorry about my mom, I think she gets it from her mortal persona of Kushina" he said as Aphrodite chuckled.

"It's fine Naruto I thought it was a bit cute" she said as he smiled at her.

He smiled as he sat on the edge of his bed with her next to him. "You said that after the war you wanted to marry me" he said as she blushed and nodded.

"Yes and I still do Naruto, so very much" she said as she kissed his hand.

Naruto took a deep breath as he stood up from the bed and stood in front of her. He quickly reached into his pocket and got on one knee in front of her.

"I know this isn't the most romantic place to do it at but I couldn't wait" he said as he opened up the small ring box.

It was a dazzling ring with a golden band and a large diamond with dark red rubies on both sides of it. Etched behind the diamond was her symbol. He had gotten it from his mother as a little gift.

"Aphrodite, the goddess of Love and Illusions, will you marry me?" he asked nervously as she stared at the ring in shock.

Tears started to well up in her eyes as she nodded "Yes Naruto, of course!" she said as she hugged him and kissed him deeply as he hugged her back.

"I love you Dite-chan" he said in between kisses.

"I love you too Naruto" she said as she broke away from the kiss, letting him put the ring on her finger. She looked at it and more tears welled in her eyes. She was truly happy to be with the man she loved with all of her heart.

And she couldn't wait to be his bride.

-Two Weeks Later-

Naruto smiled as he sat on his throne. Over the weeks he had spent the majority of his time fixing the mistakes that Zeus had set up.

He made it so the gods could visit their children as long as they don't train them or try and set them down a certain path.

This had made much of the gods and goddesses happy as immediately after the meeting where it was set up they all left for camp to visit them.

He released Calypso from her island and set her up in a nice little shop in New York where she sold herbs and spices to use in remedies.

Even Leto was free from her prison and was travelling with Artemis, which gave Apollo more of a reason to visit.

He also provided amnesty to the remaining Titans since he didn't want bad blood between them anymore. Their new leader, Oceanus, had accepted the role and was all for the treaty.

His time with Aphrodite was going greatly. With the help of his mother they were planning their wedding but he stayed out of it the most part since the two women were very specific about everything and he wanted it to be her dream wedding since her first one with Hephaestus was forced and quick.

Hephaestus apparently had thanked their mother Hera for divorcing them. Apparently Zeus had forbid them from divorcing while he was in power. From what they heard he was seeing Aglaea, the youngest of the three Charites, the goddess of beaut, splendor and adornment.

They had been set up by Aphrodite who knew of her attendant's feelings towards the blacksmith god.

All in all it was cute to see the two together.

Though he was a bit nervous about the current meeting. Since he didn't want to wait until too late to tell them so she'd have guests at the wedding. So she asked him to help reveal everything and invite them to the wedding.

He was a bit dreading it since Ares would probably act out or something but he knew he needed to tell them.

"Before the meeting ends I have one thing to bring up" he said as he got an encouraging nod from his mother and his new fiancée.

"Sure, what exactly is it Naruto?" Hades asked as he and the rest of the council looked to their new leader.

"Well it has to do with this" he said as he lowered the illusion on his ring finger.

"Oh the new god already has a goddess to himself?" Poseidon joked as he turned to Hera. "It must be someone you approved of considering you are the goddess of marriage and the boy's mother"

"In fact I do approve of her though there is a misconception with her due to a domain of hers making her be seen as someone she is not" she said as the others looked confused until Naruto stood up and cleared his throat nervously.

"My soon-to-be wife is Aphrodite" he said as silence filled the throne room as Aphrodite joined him by his side.

-Chapter End-

Shorter chapter but mostly because it is one of the last two chapters before it ends, though remember there will be a sequel for the Heroes of Olympus storyline

So Naruto said good bye to the Romans for now, Reyna is praetor, and will visit him from time to time.

The Bijuu were seen and they will show up later on and even during the Prophecy of Seven and the Hero of Olympus storyline.

Naruto proposed to Aphrodite and they are getting married

Naruto is fulfilling the promises they made, unlike Zeus did in cannon and is making peace at a very quick pace.

The outcome of the announcement will be next chapter as will the marriage and a lemon.

I hope you all liked it.

Until Next Time
