Chapter 25
Sparta
201 BCE
The War between Rome and Carthage was over the republic was victorious and Carthage had suffered greatly there territory is Spain fell to the Republic there lucrative land trade routes were now the Kingdom of Numidia the grand Fleet of Carthage was now a paltry 10 ships the rest had been given to the Romans only for a strange storm to hit and burn them just as they entered the harbours in Italy.
However, Hannibal had vanished he had been secreted on a trade ship heading for Greece and was now enjoying retirement in Athens. Kassandra and the Spartan council knew Rome's blood lust would never be quenched they would take Carthage one day.
But in truth Kassandra could not care she had more important things to worry about the one thing she believed was forever taken from her was no longer she and Queen Hippolyta had grown close and to the shock of the known world married a few years later the news had been shocking enough that for a few weeks the Romans and Carthaginian's had stopped fighting .
Right now, both Queens were watching there little Blessing Princess Diana Agiad practice the art of the Spear she was 5 years old completely unaware that her Mothers were watching her this of course brought back memories for Kassandra of her youth when she would take her fathers Spear and practice under Ikaros gaze.
Said Eagle was watching little Diana with interest little mistress was so much like her mother it was also nice to see Mistress so happy no one but him could really tell what the Queen was thinking but he could ever since her Mothers passing his mistress has felt alone, she never showed it of course but she had some time to practice hiding her emotion's.
Little Diana landed a perfect strike on the target dummy she jumped when she heard two pairs of clapping, she turned to see her mummy's smiling at her Kassandra walked up to her daughter and brought her into her arms. "well done little Spartan my Father and grandfather taught me a spartan strength comes from our sheer will to fight it is in our Blood but always remember this Strength and honour".
Diana smiled at her mother she ran to her other mother hugged her and ran off leaving two smiling parents Diana loved to explore the city as she ran from the Palace compound, she heard the sound of her Handmaiden calling her as she hid behind the cape of a royal guard the other chuckled.
"Princess Diana, where are you?" she turned to the Guard Diana was hiding behind. "You Spartan have you seen the princess well answer me!" she yelled at the guard who decided to aid his Princess.
"yes, Governess she was seen running towards the council chambers" he smirked as she ran off to reprimand the Young Princess as soon as she was out of view Diana bolted yelling thankyou to the very amused guard as she made her way to the temple of the Gods.
As she ran past the citizens many waved or bowed for the Daughter of the Immortal Queen and her Consort there were fellow amazons who had set up in the markets to trade good that could only be found on Themyscira many warriors became what was known as the Kassandra's wraiths a regiment of highly trained warriors that operated in the shadows.
She made her way to the temple and saw Ikaros had followed her and was now perched on the roof of the temple she ran to the pillar and started to climb shocking the crowed. "someone stops her she will fall and hurt herself quickly call the guards". Someone yelled while another ran to the palace to find the Royal guards.
Of course, as soon as both parents heard what their Adventurous little Daughter was doing, they ran for the temple followed by guards they got there just after Diana's Governess who yelled at her making, her jump in fright and slip from the temple roof.
Before either parent could intervein Diana vanished from the air and into Kassandra's arms. The Governess ran towards the family and yelled at the Princess completely forgetting that her Parents were standing there.
"you stupid girl you could have been killed its that Hades damned Spartan Blood in your veins". The next thing the governess knew she was on the ground 5 feet away with a very angry Spartan Queen looking at her.
"sweetheart take Diana home I will be with you shortly" she turned back to the Governess with pure anger in her eyes. "You have 1 hour to get out of my city before I tie you to a rock and let Ikaros eat your liver".
With the Governess running away from her she made her way to the academy it would appear her daughter was a mage like her she was over the moon.
Princess Diana's chambers
"Mother is Mumma angry at me" Hippolyta was shocked at the question holding her close she reassured her. "no, my little Spartan you just had us scared" the face Diana made was adorable to Hippolyta it showed aww and confusion at once it was so cute.
"Your mother is right little one we were scared you are the most important thing in our life my little Princess we always want you to be safe but it also seems you have been blessed with powers like me".
That night a handmaiden found the royal family together sleeping in their daughter's room holding her close to them with the Loyal Ikaros watching over them.

Lilly potter smiled as she read the chapter on the Immortal Queens family it was amazing magic two women being able to have a child between them especially back then as the art only became available to the magical world outside of the Empire about 10 years ago just how advanced was the Spartan Empire no one knew it was maddening the Great Library of Kassandria was the largest vault of learning in the known world and to magical population it would be like finding merlin's tomb.
Maybe she should apply to visit the empire at the only embassy they had outside of there lands the bank of Gringotts also housed the Imperial Spartan Embassy for the magical Population thought it was for manly use by the bank to trade with the Empire.
However, the waiting list to enter the empire was long as every pureblood with a name or a bit of coin wanted to enter the empire to learn secrets of the past or gain exclusive trade rights with the Empire.
Authors note: well people due to the messages I received about it I have done it Kassandra and Hippolyta together and with a daughter to boot hope you enjoyed the chapter.
