The Throne Of Valor
Before The Storm

“Alright! Now it's time before it's inserted into the body of Queen Aerin!”

Bravely, Corporal Penny forcibly broke through the golden gate with her feet so that all the audience who peeked behind her were seen by Edward and the overlapping Queen Aerin.

*Bruk!!!

“Edward! We'll save you! Captain Lucius, go!!!”

Without Penny realizing it, the current one who advanced towards Edward was only himself, while Captain Lucius just stood around digesting the situation around.

*hap

Now Penny joined with Queen Aerin overlaying Edward's body.

“Paduka!!! I-i'm sorry! It's for your safety!” penny shouted as she closed her eyes and slowly began to maneuver it on Edward's body.

“Penny! I'm coming!” captain Lucius shouted and ran towards the three of them.

*hap!!!

The body of Captain Lucius who was wearing a large robe landed also on Edward's chest.

While Queen Aerin, Edward, and the entire audience there was impressed to see what they both did.

Everyone was shocked when they realized that Penny and Lucius had begun to maneuver before their eyes.

“Ah! Edward! Pain!”

*Plak! Plaque!

…

“Are you guys crazy?!” edward snaps at Lucius and Penny after Edward takes them both back to his elite troop camp.

“Im sorry to you. We think your Majesty was struck by the curse,” Penny and Lucius replied simultaneously with their heads lowered.

“You snatched my virginity from Queen Aerin and Princess Gwen! Do you know how hard I tried to keep her?!” Edward frowned while yelling at the two of them with emotion.

“It's Edward, it's okay. I can understand them doing that to save you,” whispered Queen Aerin gently in Edward's ear to appease her husband.

“Yes! I did get that curse. However Queen Aerin had already unleashed the curse when I arrived at her room. He asked me to choose whatever I wanted, then I asked his Elf warrior for help!” Edward again snarled at them both.

“As a condition of having to marry me.” Queen Aerin smiled while holding her husband's arm.

“I don't want something like this to happen again. Only this time I will forgive you for your intentions are noble.

Pack your things, we'll leave early tomorrow.”

As his army prepares, Edward accompanies Queen Aerin to sleep with him tonight before they part tomorrow in the royal bridal chamber.

On his way back to the bridal chamber on the Queen's Eagle Spartan, Edward felt Queen Aerin's arms now coiled around his waist.

Queen Aerin's chin also leaned against Edward's shoulders gently.

“I love you, Edward.”

“Tomorrow make sure you start leading the country wisely.”

“Can I come with you, my husband?”

“If you come, then who rules this enormous kingdom?”

“Did you forget that I am an expert in magic? Of course I can divide my 2 bodies. One of my bodies will come with you, and the other will rule in the palace. What do you think, baby?”

“No!”

Hearing Edward reject his request firmly, Queen Aerin immediately wept hoping that Edward would be pityed and allow him to travel the southern world.

*Hiks

“Aerin, are you crying?” Edward turned his gaze to Queen Aerin's eyes with his chin still resting on his shoulders.

“Edward wicked!”

“Alright, stop crying. You can come, but I won't be responsible for your government matters.”

*cups

A kiss from Queen Aerin's lips landed on Edward's cheek.

The night was spent by the two of them in the bridal chamber, devising some plans so that Queen Aerin could leave unnoticed, while the other body would command the kingdom.

“My husband, everything is done, right? Then tomorrow we just run this plan.” Queen Aerin looked at the face of Edward who was seriously looking at the map.

“Yes,” replied Edward with a still focused view on the map, because tomorrow he will lead his troops through one city belonging to the Empress Kingdom.

The city was named Saint Haven, where there were many assassins, priests, and the city was also famous as the military center of the Empress Kingdom.

“My husband, stop.” Queen Aerin slowly walked closer to Edward, then began to give a bite of love on Edward's neck.

“Queen, not now. I have to research these routes well, devise a plan, and find the best solution for us to get through the city without being caught.” Edward re-wrapped his clothes that had been opened by Queen Aerin.

Hearing Edward's repulsion, Queen Aerin knew what she had to do to make her wish come true.

“Hua!!! Evil edward!” Queen Aerin groaned with a loud cry for Edward to do that with her.

Seeing the cute Queen Aerin crying, Edward immediately brought her face closer to Aerin's face and kissed her lips gently.

*cups

“Queen, today just one kiss from me. Next time I'll give you what you want,” whispered Edward as he pulled his lips back from Queen Aerin's lips.

*Deg-deg-deg

Queen Aerin's heart pounded strongly when she received Edward's first official kiss.

“B ... alright. B... Can I sleep on your shoulders, my husband? I'm getting sleepy.”

“Come,” reply Edward then put a pillow on his shoulder so that his Queen's neck can sleep comfortably.

After Queen Aerin began to sleep on her shoulders, Edward immediately enveloped the body of Queen Aerin who was only covered in a thin translucent cloth.

When he saw his Queen sleeping on his shoulders, Edward smiled to see the glare of the adorable face sleeping.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered a woman he had loved for a long time.

“Princess Gwen .. forgive me,” Edward murmured in his heart while stroking Queen Aerin's forehead.

“Darling, who is Princess Gwen? Why are you apologizing to him?” reply Queen Aerin who suddenly woke up after hearing Edward's heart.

“Ah are you awake? No, Princess Gwen is just someone precious enough to me.”

“Am I valuable to you too?”

“No.”

“What did you say?!”

“I'm just kidding. Now sleep ... my wife.”

“Did you just say ‘my wife’ to me?!” Queen Aerin's face immediately reddened because for the first time Edward called her a wife, which means Edward slowly accepted Queen Aerin as his wife.

*cloak!

Edward landed on Queen Aerin's forehead.

“Sleep ... my wife!”

“Kya!!! I've become a wife! Alright, good night .. husband .. ku.”

Now Queen Aerin began to fall back asleep on her shoulders.

Actually Edward was quite amused by the presence and silliness of Queen Aerin.

Never in his life, Edward met a woman so spoiled, innocent, and innocent as Queen Aerin.

So that when he first recognized Queen Aerin, Edward felt something different from her, and that was what made him slowly accept Queen Aearin as his wife.

What about Princess Gwen and Penny? Of course they'll have his ministry on Edward later.

After these quiet times, Edward knew that there would be epic battles, massive bloodshed, and tears waiting on his journeys to gather the fleet.

Edward also guessed that at this time Edmud would certainly grow stronger, and gathered his own fleet of troops to fight against Edward.
