:::Prologue:::
(Three Years Later)
"What news do you bring me Kharis?" King Heliodor demanded, looking up as his adviser walked into the throne room. Glancing over at his son, he smiled seeing the young Prince looking out the window. "What do you seek my son?" He asked, watching his son abruptly turn and look at him.
"I miss mama?" Prince Heliodor quietly stated, turning and looking at his father. Noticing his father smirk, the Prince heard him chuckle at the innocent statement.
"The Queen will return when she is victorious, little Prince." Morganite said, glancing at her King to see him nod with confirmation.
"Don't call me that." Prince Heliodor commanded. "Only mama calls me that!" He shouted, then stuck his tongue out at the General. Walking to his mother's empty throne, he climbed into her seat before sitting down. "Is mama fighting the bad people?" He curiously asked, looking up at his father, whose throne was next to his.
"Yes." King Heliodor said, patiently looking down at his son. "She will continue to fight the Arietes until we are victorious in the battle." He said clenching his fists in anger. "Tell me Kharis, has our forces been victorious?" He demanded, turning his attention back onto his royal adviser.
"Our troops have had minimal casualties, the Queen being there has boosted morale amongst the troops." Kharis said, gently clearing his throat before he spoke. "If we can continue to push forwards against the Arietes, we will be victorious."
"I told you sending her was not a mistake." King Heliodor smirked, then softly sighed as he stood walking to the large window. Looking up at the night sky, he looked at the two small moons in the night sky. "Her power is incredible, I just wish she would stop holding it back. She is capable of destroying an entire planet, if she would just-"
"My King!"
Turning as the doors of the throne room abruptly opened, King Heliodor watched one of his communication officers rush into the throne room. "What is it?" He demanded.
"We've captured the Capital, the Queen is awaiting your orders." The officer stated, watching his King wickedly smile as he walked forwards.
"Morganite-san, stay with Prince Heliodor-sama, I will return shortly." King Heliodor commanded, watching his General smile then bow.
"Yes King Heliodor-sama." Morganite said bowing. Turning her attention towards the small Prince, she watched him turn his cold gaze towards her. Rolling her eyes, she sighed out in frustration before walking towards the small child. "Do not look at me with such disdain, I know your mother warned you to be on your best behavior while she was away." She threatened, knowing the Prince was a little terror when his mother was away in battles or negotiations.
"Why does father not fight in the war? Mother is a Queen, she isn't supposed to fight." Prince Heliodor said watching Morganite smirk.
"Your mother is expendable, we can easily find a new Queen if she is killed, but the King is irreplaceable." Morganite said watching the small child look at her with confusion. Sighing in annoyance, she realized she had used too many difficult words with the small child. "If your mother dies, your father will marry again." She said, smirking when seeing tears shining in the small child's blue eyes. "Don't worry, I'm sure he will find a stronger Queen." She jeered before gently laughing. "Your mother is weak, she still resists to unleash her full power on the Arietes."
"My mama is not weak!" Prince Heliodor angrily shouted. "She is a warrior, just like you!"
"She will never be a true Helaen warrior!" Morganite sneered. "Your mother is-"
"Enough!"
Turning at the voice, Morganite smirked watching Variscite quietly walk into the throne room. "What do you want?" She sneered.
"How dare you speak to the Prince like that." Variscite sneered back. "You dare speak of the Queen with such contempt. How do you think the King would respond to this news?"
"Don't you dare." Morganite threatened, glaring up at the royal physician. "What are you doing here? Do you not have patients to tend to?" She scoffed.
Ignoring her, Variscite smiled as he turned his attention on the small Prince before he gently spoke to the child. "Prince Heliodor-sama, I have heard news that your mother has been victorious against the Arietes. You have been so brave these past three months she's been away." Variscite said, watching the small Prince tearfully look up at him. "She will be returning home in three days." He said watching the small child excitedly smile up at him, before his smile faltered once more.
"Will mama have to leave again?" Prince Heliodor worriedly asked.
"No, the Queen should be home for good now." Variscite said, then watched Morganite smirk as she spoke.
"Our forces will take care of the execution of the Arietes scum, this will allow her to return home to Helaen." Morganite said wickedly smiling at the thought of their victory.
(Meanwhile on Arietes)
"Get down on your knees!" The Helaen warrior commanded striking the Arietes Queen.
"Please!" The Arietes Queen begged tears streaking her cheeks. "My children, please do not harm them." She begged, then cried out feeling the Helaen warrior strike her once more.
"Silence!" The warrior sneered. "You will submit to us, you scum will no longer-"
"That is enough!" A stern voice commanded, the echoing of soft clicks of heels against the floor.
"My Queen." The Helaen warrior stated, watching his Queen and her Guardian walking forwards. Quickly kneeling, he looked up silently watching his Queen stop at the base of the thrones steps. Seeing she was looking up at the Arietes Queen who was on the floor bitterly crying, he watched her smile victoriously before she sternly spoke to the Arietes Queen.
"Your King, where would he have fled?" Eternal Sailor Moon demanded, pointing her tier at the Arietes Queen. Watching the Arietes Queen angrily look at her, Eternal Sailor Moon watched the Queen shakily stand as she straightened her crown amongst her dark green locks. "You would do what is best for you and your children." She warned, hearing the Arietes Queen gasp and look at her with fear shining in her dark brown eyes. "Where is your King?" She repeated.
"I would rather die than tell you!" The Arietes Queen angrily shouted, before spitting at the Helaen Queen.
"How dare you!" The Helaen warrior angrily sneered, raising his hand to strike the Arietes Queen once more.
"Enough!" Eternal Sailor Moon shouted, watching the warrior abruptly lower his arm, then bow before taking a step away from the Arietes Queen. "You hit her again, I will have Tourmaline-san remove your arm." She threatened, then turned her attention towards the Arietes Queen as she angrily spoke.
"Do not think I will fall for your deceptive trickery, this false kindness, trying to spare me your warriors harsh treatment." The Arietes Queen sneered.
"I'm not going to spare you any pain you do not deserve." Eternal Sailor Moon said, turning her gaze on her Kingdom's enemy. "Every minute of my time that you waste, is a minute you are keeping me from my family." She said, as she casually walked up the stairs of the Arietes Queen. "Where is your King?" She commanded, her voice low and threatening. "Is he already here perhaps? Hiding like a coward?" She asked, looking amongst the guards who were knelt on the ground in surrender.
"Tourmaline-san, bring me her youngest child." Eternal Sailor Moon commanded, watching her Guardian bow before walking towards the exit of the throne room.
"No!" The Arietes Queen shouted, tears streaking her cheeks. "My husband is not here!" She shouted, tears streaking her cheeks. "He fled, he went for help!"
"Your King is not an honorable man, if he left you and his heirs here defenseless." Eternal Sailor Moon said smiling. "I don't believe you, you're lying to me." She said, watching the Arietes Queen falter for a moment, quickly trying to regain her composure. 'He's here, he has to be.' Eternal Sailor Moon thought while turning her gaze back towards the surrendered guards in the room. 'Which one is the King though?' She curiously thought, then snapped from her thoughts hearing a small child's voice.
"Mother!"
"Do not tell them anything!" The Arietes Queen commanded, watching the Helaen warrior walk forwards to her youngest child. "Please." She tearfully begged. "Please don't hurt her."
"I am not a child slayer." Eternal Sailor Moon scoffed, turning and glaring at the Arietes Queen. "Unlike your murderous race, you've massacred hundreds of children when you attacked our fleet four months ago, the vessel had families living aboard it."
"It was near our territory!" The Arietes Queen shouted, tears shining in her eyes. "Your planet is not so innocent, you've slaughtered countless children in these attacks on our planet!"
"I never claimed we were innocent." Eternal Sailor Moon said, then turned her gaze to the small child standing next to her Guardian. "What is your name, child?" She asked, approaching the small Arietes Princess.
"You're her." The small Princess gasped. "My brother said you're the angel of death."
"I've been called many things child, but that is the first I've heard of this one." Eternal Sailor Moon said with amusement. "I am Queen Serenity of Helaen." She said doing a small curtsy. "What should I address you as Princess?"
"Princess Prisyra-sama." The small Princess said curtsying back.
"Your mother has taught you well when addressing other royals Princess Prisyra-sama." Eternal Sailor Moon said, briefly glancing back at the Arietes Queen. "Tell me, how old are you child?"
"Five." Princess Prisyra proudly stated.
"My such a big girl you are." Eternal Sailor Moon said, watching the small child smile up at her. "Tell me, does your father love your mother?"
"Yes, father is always telling mother how much he loves her." Princess Prisyra said smiling. "I hope to find a Prince who loves me as much as father loves my mother." She said smiling at her dream of happiness.
"Perhaps your mother will find you someone you can love." Eternal Sailor Moon said, then knelt in front of the small child. "I am still waiting for love." She said, watching the small child look at her in surprise. "A loveless marriage is truly a lonely life." She said, then smiled hearing her Guardian gently clear his throat.
"My Queen you're getting off topic." Tourmaline said, smiling down at his Queen who was knelt down by the small child.
"Don't be so fickle Tourmaline-san." Eternal Sailor Moon said smiling. "It's no secret I'm in a loveless marriage." She said, gently laughing at her own misfortune. "I am only having a conversation with my new friend." She said, then smiled back at the small child. "So tell me, did your father truly abandon you and your mother here? A good father would tell his family goodbye before fleeing like a coward."
Shaking her head, the small Princess smiled up at her new friend before speaking. "No, father didn't leave us-he said he had to-"
"Prisyra-sama, do not speak to her!" The Arietes Queen angrily shouted, noticing the Helaen Queen's Guardian quickly approaching her. "She-" Crying out in pain as the Queen's Guardian suddenly struck her, she tearfully watched the Helaen Queen gently take her daughters chin and turn her gaze away from her.
"Your mother is not allowing us to be friends." Eternal Sailor Moon said, watching the little girl tearfully look up at her. "I'm sorry for her terrible manners, what were you saying about your father?" She asked, watching the little girl shake her head.
"I can't talk to you, you're just like the other bad people." Princess Prisyra said, tears streaking her cheeks. "You hurt my mother."
'Damn, I was so close to getting what I needed.' Eternal Sailor Moon angrily thought, then looked up at the Arietes Queen in frustration. "Why did you have to interrupt us, now I'm going to have to hurt her." She said standing and pointing her tier at the small child.
"No!" The Arietes Queen shouted tears streaking her cheeks. "Please don't hurt my little girl!" She begged as she shook with tears.
"Tell her to answer my questions." Eternal Sailor Moon demanded. "Or she dies!" She sneered, watching the Queen tearfully shake her head as she desperately glanced towards the guards. Following her gaze, she smiled watching one of the guards looking back at the Queen with the same desperate look. "Thank you, your grace, you've been most helpful." She said, watching the Queen abruptly look back at her tears streaking her cheeks. "Tourmaline-san, the King is still here." She said then pointed at the guard the Arietes Queen had made eye contact with. "There is the tyrant King." She said watching the guard abruptly stand.
"No!" The Arietes Queen heart brokenly shouted, watching two Helaen warriors roughly bringing her husband forwards.
"My General will be in shortly to discuss your terms of surrender." Eternal Sailor Moon calmly stated, motioning another of her warriors forward. "Escort the Princess back to her brother, she is to be unharmed, both are to be unharmed." She said sternly looking at the warrior.
"Yes your grace, as you command." The warrior stated, motioning the small Arietes Princess to follow him.
"Please don't hurt them." Princess Prisyra pleaded, as she walked past the Helaen Queen worriedly looking back at her parents, tears streaking her small cheeks.
"That is not up to me child, I am awaiting orders from my King." Eternal Sailor Moon said, softly sighing, knowing the fate of the Arietes now belonged in the hands of her war driven husband and his General.
(:::Three Days Later:::Helaen:::)
Walking down the quiet halls of the palace to the throne room, Serenity softly sighed as she nervously smoothed the fabric of her long blue gown. Their vessel had finally arrived home after three long days of travel, glancing at Tourmaline who was silently walking beside her, she smiled before speaking. "Thank you for keeping me safe my friend, I know there were a few close calls."
"You do not need to thank me, it is my duty to protect you." Tourmaline said, watching his Queen smile before silently nodding her head. "The Prince will be happy to see you."
"I've missed him." Queen Serenity said, tears shining in her eyes. "He is the reason I fight in this senseless war." She said, then softly sighed. "I could not bear the thought of anything happening to him." She said, then smiled as Tourmaline briefly rested his hand on her shoulder.
"That will not happen." Tourmaline sternly stated. "You are this planet's Guardian, you've protected this Kingdom and it's people exceptionally well from the Arietes."
"Thank you Tourmaline-san." Queen Serenity said, glancing back at her Guardian before smiling at him. Stopping outside the throne room door, she smiled watching two guards bow to her before silently pulling the doors open for her to enter. Lifting the heavy fabric of her deep blue gown, she held her head high as she silently entered the throne room. Seeing her husband look up, she watched him smile as he bowed to her before speaking.
"My Queen, still beautiful as ever, I see the battle was kind to you." King Heliodor said watching his wife pause to curtsy to him, before she continued to walk forwards. "Our son grew tired waiting for your arrival." He said, motioning to their son sleeping in her throne.
"He did not have to wait up for me." Queen Serenity said, smiling at her sleeping son. "It is late, you both should be asleep."
"I have not laid with my wife in three months." King Heliodor scoffed, chuckling when his wife raised her brow at his comment. "I told you we would lay with one another once you returned safely to Helaen." He said, tucking back her long golden locks away from her neck. Gently trailing kisses down her neck, he smirked feeling her tense under the soft kisses. "I can feel your tension, I will soon ease this tension for you." He said, chuckling at the soft blush. "I will be awaiting you in the bedroom, do not be long." He sternly stated, watching his Queen silently nod her head.
Watching her husband quietly leave the throne room, Queen Serenity tearfully smiled as she knelt in front of her throne. Gently caressing her son's cheek, she smiled watching him slowly begin to stir from his sleep. "My little Prince." She gently stated, her voice wavering slightly.
"Mama?" Prince Heliodor groggily asked as he tiredly raised. "Mama!" He excitedly shouted when realizing his mother was kneeling in front of him. Throwing himself against her, he shook with tears as he tightly held onto his mother. "Don't leave me again mama." He pleaded, feeling his mother tightly embrace him.
"The battle is over my little Prince." Queen Serenity gently stated, while rubbing his back trying to soothe his tears. "I'm not going anywhere else, I promise Helio-sama."
"Promise?" Prince Heliodor asked, looking up at his mother with tear filled eyes.
"I promise." Queen Serenity said, tearfully smiling back at her son. "Don't cry, you're going to make me cry." She said, smiling as her son gently rested his small hand on her cheek. Lifting him into her arms as she stood, she tightly held him against her as she gently swayed, trying to soothe him. "Let's get you to bed." She said, gently kissing his forehead.
"I'm not sleepy mama." Prince Heliodor argued, before tiredly yawning.
Gently humming as she walked out of the throne room, Queen Serenity tearfully smiled with amusement, feeling her son's head begin to slide against her shoulder as he was falling into a deep slumber once more. After a few minutes, she soon walked down the long hall where three ornately carved doors were present. Walking in silence to her son's bedroom, she glanced across the hall at the royal bedchambers where her husband was waiting for her. Turning her gaze from the door, she smiled looking over at Tourmaline, noticing how truly exhausted her Guardian looked. "Get some rest, my friend." She said watching him smile at her words.
"I will not rest until my Queen has rested." Tourmaline said watching his Queen smile at his words.
"I will probably not be getting much rest tonight." Queen Serenity said, then blushed before she gently laughed. "I'm sorry, that was not appropriate, I must remember I'm home now." She said hearing Tourmaline gently chuckle.
"You've been amongst your warriors for too long, your grace." Tourmaline teased. "You must remember you're a Queen again."
"My husband would not have been as easily amused by my comment." Queen Serenity said, smiling her thanks when watching Tourmaline open her son's bedroom door for her. Walking into the large room, she shook her head at the horrendous mess her son's play room was in, walking down a small hall, she entered through the open door walking towards the large bed. Lying her son down in the center of his bed, she tucked back his long silver locks before kissing his forehead. "Sleep well my little Prince." She gently stated before covering him. Watching him snuggle deeper in his blankets, she blinked her tears back before turning and quietly walking out of the room.
"Good night my Queen." Tourmaline stated, watching his Queen silently exit her son's room.
"Good night Tourmaline-san." Queen Serenity said smiling as she watched her Guardian silently turn to return to his quarters, entering through the first ornate door. "Wait." She said watching him stop and turn. "There is no need for you to wake so early, I am going to spend most of my day resting tomorrow." She said watching her Guardian bow.
"Yes your grace." Tourmaline said, then quietly turned to enter his room when his Queen silently entered the royal bedchambers through the final ornate door at the end of the hall.
Watching the curtains gently sway back and forth from the gentle breeze, Serenity softly sighed as she quietly turned onto her back. Looking at her husband who was in a deep slumber, she gently smiled at how his long silver locks, which were normally nice and smooth free of any imperfections, were a tangled mess from their multitude sessions of love making. Unable to relax her mind, she carefully moved his arm which was draped across her midriff near her bare breasts. Careful not to wake him, she quietly slid from the bed, her feet soon resting on the cold marble floor. Grabbing her silk robe, she tightly secured the silk belt around her waist before drawing the curtain back, stepping out onto the balcony. Leaning against the stone railing, she looked out in the distance of the city where her people were peacefully sleeping. 'This battle was necessary, Helaen and this Kingdom are finally at peace.' She thought trying to reassure herself, then smiled feeling her husband trailing his hands down her arms.
"I have missed you my Queen." King Heliodor said, as he gently ran his hand down her silk covered arms. Gently moving her long golden locks from around her shoulders, he trailed soft kisses up her neck, then carefully along her jaw. Turning her head towards him, he gently pressed his lips against hers. "Even after four years of marriage, you still refuse to kiss me." He said chuckling with amusement.
"You must be tired, my King." Queen Serenity said, feeling his other hand slide down into her silk robe before beginning to caress her breast. Closing her eyes as he continued to trail soft kisses down her neck. She felt the soft massages against her breast pause briefly as he pressed his nude body closer against her. "We have made love throughout most of the night, my King." She said hearing his soft chuckle before he spoke.
"I am only rewarding you for your victory against the Arietes my Queen." King Heliodor teased, raising his head to look into his Queen's amused eyes.
"Then you are pleased with the outcome of the battle?" Queen Serenity teased, then felt a soft gasp escape her lips as her husband's hand slid between her legs. Feeling a soft moan escape her lips, she felt her knees go weak from the soft sensual touches. Feeling him steady her against him, she heard his soft chuckle as he lowered his hands from her, pausing the sensual touches.
"Let us return to bed, my Queen." King Heliodor said gently lifting his wife into his arms as he carried her back into the bedroom. "Tonight I am celebrating my victory with my Queen, as my enemy mourns for his." He said, smirking at the thought of the slain Arietes Queen.
"What?" Serenity gasped, quickly looking into her husband's cold eyes. "No my King, why? Why would you-" She asked, then felt her husband crush his lips against hers silencing her.
Silencing her with his lips, King Heliodor quickly sighed out in irritation when feeling his wife abruptly turn her head ceasing their kiss. "You knew there would be casualties." He stated, lowering her onto the bed as he untied the belt to her silk robe. "I had to show the cocky Arietes King I am not to be taken lightly, that I am no longer the young naive Prince he's always referred to me as, but a powerful King."
"She had two children, they will never see their mother again." Queen Serenity said, then quickly grabbed her husband's hand before he could go any further up her thigh. "I'm talking to you my King." She angrily spoke, raising and glaring at him.
"He will marry again." Heliodor scoffed, then was taken aback when his wife suddenly slapped him. Touching his stinging cheek, he saw tears streaking his wife's cheeks. "You're going to regret striking your King." He angrily stated, then angrily brought his hand back striking her across the face. Hearing her yelp out in pain as she collapsed back onto the bed from the force of the strike, he watched her tearfully raise, her cheek red from the force of the blow.
Trying to fight back her tears, Serenity carefully cradled her throbbing cheek as tears threatened to spill. "Is that what you would do?" She sneered, not caring if she angered her husband more. "Marry again, so our son would forget about me?"
"I would never allow it!" King Heliodor angrily shouted. "You are my wife, my Queen." He said roughly grabbing her by the chin. Forcing her to look up at him, he could see unshed tears shining in her eyes. "Your heart belongs to me Serenity-sama, I would never allow anyone to take you from me." He said watching her tearfully look into his gaze. "Do not accuse me of not caring, I worried for your safety everyday you were gone." He said brushing away a stray tear from her cheek. "We are finally at a peaceful resolve with the Arietes, they have agreed upon a surrender. I had to execute one of the royal family members, I allowed him to make this decision." He said, watching his Queen look up at him in shock. "He could either lay down his life for his family, or he could choose who would be executed. The coward had his wife executed because she had given up his position to you."
Feeling her stomach nervously twist, Serenity shook her head with disbelief as tears streaked her cheeks. "I was trying to get the Princess to give up her father's position." She said looking up at her husband. "He- he would have killed his own daughter, if I had been successful getting the information from her." She said then bitterly began to cry. "I would have been responsible for-"
"No." King Heliodor sternly stated, abruptly pulling his wife into his embrace. "You are not responsible for the tyrant Kings choices." He said, gently kissing the crescent moon insignia in the center of her forehead. "After everything you have seen and been through, your heart still remains pure and full of love." He said gently chuckling. "This is why I have fallen so madly in love with you." He said before gently pressing his lips against hers once more, as he lowered them both against the bed once more. "I can never stay angry with you." He said as their lips slowly parted. "Now, let's finish what we were starting." He huskily stated, trailing his hands along her nude body once more.
