This is just a filler and a little insight on who won, but other than the comments on the story, there was also an influx of pm's that I took into consideration. I took a while updating because not only did my computer break but I also had to modify a large proportion of the plot. My apologies, but I hope you enjoy this chapter! XOXOX :* Just pm me if you have any questions.

Emma was sitting now at the Red Kingdom's gates. There was a surplus of red decor and Queen Ruby herself was standing at the castle door awaiting the blonde. As the blonde and red-streaked brunette were walking towards each other, a loud siren went off, "All hail our soon to be monarch!"

Emma laughed and bowed deeply in front of the Red Queen. Ruby led the former general through the castle and to her chambers, "Queen Red, am I wrong to assume that you only want me in a sexual manner?"

Ruby looked at the blonde's body, "Well, if given the chance, I doubt any of the women would deny you sex, General. If you haven't noticed, you have been a sexual staple for most of the Queens that are unmarried."

"But you have to understand, I want love… Do you think you can truly offer me that?" Emma asked looking into the slightly taller woman's eyes. Ruby was honestly intimidated and turned on all at once.

"I could try my best?" she tried to reassure, but due to a hormonal mind lapse, she was failing miserably.

"I don't want to be a sex toy, Queen Ruby," Emma said while she picked up her bag and walked into the large walk-in closet Ruby led her to.

Ruby nodded in understanding, "Of course. Nobody wants to be a toy of any sorts, and I assure you I'm not going to play with your heart or waste your time. What I can say, is that I truly do want to give us a fighting chance."

Emma smiled, "Now, that's what I like to hear," she smirked sitting her bags on the red marble floors, "So What do you do for fun?" but before Ruby went to speak Emma raised her hand playfully, "And I do mean recreations outside of the bedroom," she laughed as the woman laughed along hitting her arm dragging her to the courts.

"You come to the courts for fun?" Emma asked sarcastically.

Ruby rolled her eyes and snapped her fingers, and two men brought Emma and Ruby their own swords and left as quickly as they came, "How about you duel me for fun. If I win, you stay an extra night. If not you may leave early for the next castle?"

Emma raised a brow, "Either you don't want me here, or you're really cocky, Queen Ruby."

Ruby smirked walking around Emma tracing muscles and her hair, "No. Swan. From what I heard, you're the cocky one," she smirked before taking her stance as Emma did the same.

Ruby was the first to try to strike, but the trained general dodged the sword easily, coming up behind the queen and locking her in muscular arms. Ruby then jumped and since the blonde wasn't expecting it, she let her slip free and Ruby used a dance move, sliding backward between the shorter woman's legs kissing the back of her neck. Emma smirked spinning quickly but not quick enough as Ruby did a backflip separating sauntered closer as Emma smirked thinking maybe it wouldn't be so bad to stay after all, but she was not going to lose. She jumped slightly rolling to land just past Ruby's feet as she extended her leg sweeping the taller woman off her feet and catching her around her waist before the queen fell on her face. The general laughed and turned the beauty in her arms and gently pressing the sward to her neck, "I think I've won, Queen Ruby," she said helping the dizzy woman to her feet.

Ruby smirked hoping she had made a good impression on the blonde before her smirk turned into a genuine smile of adoration, "Indeed. And I'm a woman of my word. I'll see to it your things are safely transported to the carriage."

"Actually….I would love to further enjoy your company," Emma said smiling as the two linked arms with a merry conversation heading back to the castle's chambers.

Meanwhile At The Dark Kingdom

Jane ran down the halls of the castle, making several heads turn her way. She cut the corner fast nearly bumping into Edward.

Edward glared at the woman, but upon the realization that it was the beautiful general, he quickly smirked, "What's the rush, Beautiful? Looking for me?"

Jane so badly wanted to tell him to 'fuck off', but she had to get this package to Regina, or she would be letting down Emma, Regina, and the kingdom. "No, Prince Edward, I was actually looking for one of the Queen's maids to sew up a soldier's wound," she said with a scowl.

Edward chuckled and smirked, "Well, when you're done playing with swords, I can show you exactly how well I wield my own," he commented, receiving a scoff mixed with a gag.

"Look I don't want to know anything about your pocket knife or how clumsily you may be able to wield it, so just move along before I tell the Queen," Jane snarled, pushing past the dumbfounded and embarrassed Prince.

The General made her way down towards east wing. She stopped at the Queen's chamber and raised her hand, knocking.

"Who is it!?" the Queen yelled, not wanting to be bothered after the departure of the love of her life.

"General Jane, My Queen."

Jane heard shuffling through the door, then metal clanking and the door opening revealing a red puffy eyed Regina. "How may I help you, Jane?"

"I was asked to give you this immediately," she answered handing Regina the package, giving her a small smile, and walking away, leaving a confused Queen behind.
