-Mmm- murmured the Roman Goddess of Winter as she began to stir. The first thing she noticed when she woke up was that Laxus wasn't holding her as he did this last two days, then that she recall all her lost memories and that she was in her old bedroom surrounded by her children- Ultear?... Lyon?... Grey?... Eve?... Shellia?...- Nix whispered, not believing that she had finally woken up from her dream. Her eyes began to water as she noticed that all her children,, even Grey and Lyon that were well known from the coldness from their hearts, were crying- Come... come next to me my beloved children!- the Queen of Demons demanded, and as good subjects the five demons obeyed. They stayed like that for at least ten minutes to then catch up with everything that the Goddess missed this last sixteen years. They moved to the garden were Siegrain was waiting for them and had tea while they were talking. It seemed like Ultear took the place as the substitute queen with the help of, her new boyfriend, Siegrain. One of the Triplets of the Night, the strongest team in their kingdom after the Royal family, and a well respected noble of their court. They are already engaged but they decided to wait until the Goddess had awaken and ask for her blessing, which she gave them immediately. Meanwhile, Lyon took the job of judging and punishing every demon that went against their law as Grey took charge of being the head of their army and the protection of their country. Eve on the other hand, and with the help of his Team Trimens, he began an academy to teach young demons to be a gentleman or a lady as well as to educate them. Finally the Princess of the Icy Winds worked as the counselor of Ultear, cause even if the substitute Queen was very good she needed good advice from a gentle mind as Shellia's. The Roman Goddess couldn't be more proud from her children. As she gazed at the statue, above the stone, of her dead husband, that was just next to their round table, she understood one thing... "It's already time my love, they grew up so fast... i just wished that you could be here to see it" Nix thought, hoping that somehow it would reach Tenebris- I have an announcement- spoke the Goddess of Winter gaining the attention of everyone- I will quit being the Queen of Demons.
Her statement brought different reactions but at the end everyone yelled the same question- Why?!
-Cause it was never my throne to occupy- answered Nix with a sad smile and raised her hand as she saw her children, Siegrain and the servants, that were there, opening their mouths ready to protest- I married Tenebris King of Demons which made me a Queen but since he died i can not continue being the Queen of Demons for i am a Goddess- she took a deep breath and continued with her speech- Even though i care for my subjects and that they want me as their queen- a loto of murmurs of concordance were heard, making the Winter Goddess very happy- That throne should be for the real queen, the oldest of my kids... you Ultear- the mentioned one almost choked with her tea as the rest smiled, ironically, warmly because they knew that the Princess of Darkness was the best choice to replace Queen Nix- However, the powers will be divide- everyone looked at her questioningly- The executive as well as legislative power and last word in every problem will be of Ultear the new Queen, the judicial power will be of Lyon, Grey will have the control of the army, everything that is related to education will be managed by Eve. Lastly but not least, whenever you need advise and always before making a decision you need to turn to Shellia the Royal Counselor. That's my last decree as the Demon Queen, Seigrain would you and your brothers make sure that everyone in my kingdom knows about this?
-Of course, my Queen-he said bowing with a smile full of proud for her fiance.
-Also, tell Meredy, Jenny and Sherry to meet me i my chambers tomorrow morning that we will have to start preparing a coronation for all of my children- Nix requested to her future son in law with an excited smile- We need to start soon if we want to finish for next week.
-Next week?!- squeaked the children of the Goddess but were ignored by everyone.
-Of course, my Queen- Seigrain repeated and turned to leave but was stopped by Nix's voice.
-And Seigrain... call me mom from now on- she smiled sweetly at the stunned soldier.
-Of course, my qu... sorry. Of course, mom- he corrected himself and left the garden as all the servants.
Soon the only ones left were the Royal Family and an awkward silence formed by the nervousness of the demons, that was only broken when the Winter Goddess decided to speak up- So... Grey i've noticed that your wife, Juvia, isn't here. Where is she? That Goddess is always around you, whenever she can- Nix noticed that as soon as Juvia's name left her lips all her children froze, hypothetically talking cause literally would be impossible, and that worried her a lot. Soon she fall in the count of what was happening- You broke your contact with her cause she works for Gajeel?!- accused, a very angry, Goddess that received her answer when her son only gazed the ground ashamed. Out of the blue the room's temperature was so low that even the princes and princesses were cold- How dare you be so stupid?! Is that you don't see how much you both love each other?! Or that being separated so much time will only bring you both sadness?!- Nix began to yell furiously, scaring her children. They had only seen her mother this angry when their father had been killed in the last war that their kingdom fought. Suddenly the Goddess opened her eyes as wide as she possible could- Fuck!- she exclaimed, surprising her children cause she never curses- Laxus... he thinks that i am dead... the Gods will want blood...- she murmured under her breath before glaring at her kids- You all are in serious problems!
-I take full responsibility, it was my idea and they only followed me as their substitute queen- stood up, Ultear, for her mistakes.
-Well that shows that you are a good queen, so i won't take the royal title from you... or any of you- all the demons sighed relieved- And the only thing that you did was recover your mother, so your punishment will be... to get married after i marry Laxus. And he still haven't asked me so you'll have to wait for a while.
-Only that?!- exclaimed Grey and Lyon.
-Just wait my dear twins- winked playfully the Winter Goddess and counted till three with her fingers. When she reached zero Tartar broke free. Ultear fainted, Shellia began to panic and mutter things like 'But we had already planned everything!', Eve started to shout about how unjust all this was while Grey as well as Lyon watched their siblings with a mix between shock and amusement- You'll see Ice Princes that the wedding day is the most dear date, behind the birth of her child/ren, for a female...
-So delaying it, after waiting so much, knowing that it was all your fault is the worst torture- finished Lyon understanding everything now and shivering from how cruel his mother could be.
-Everyone calm down!- ordered the Demon Queen, shutting everyone up-First thing to do is to find Juvia and beg that she still wants to be part of our family! Then go to the Olympus and all of you HAVE TO beg for forgiveness for lying before we start a war!- stated Nix- What are you all waiting for?! Let's go...
