He knew fair well that this girl had continued to glance toward Speranza with an air of jealousy.

But he planned to let her breathe to give some face to that brother of his since after all, he occurred to be the king's only sworn brother he could not bully the little brother too much.

And this was a maid gifted by him but if she had an idea of climbing his bed he would let her know what it was to try and convert something that did not belong to her.

"You come here." He said to the blond slave. "Go and get us some drinks" He ordered his voice was pretty much a growl as he restrained from taking his anger out.

The look he had caught in Timara eyes, had ignited a flame of displeasure and this pa.s.sive slave did not help his mood.

"Seriously your status is of my wife how can you make everything yourself?"

He said to her with a tone that implied that she had not much of a choice in the matter.

"Since she his are incompetent I will send her away."

Timara s.h.i.+vered he could discard them just like this? NO! She needed to get his attention before that!

"Anyhow it's getting late my love we should return another surprise is waiting on you there."

She hugged her little wyvern which still had no name but she would remedy to that after she was settled up at home with a tranquil mind.

The slave girl returned with drinks that contained alcohol for her master and one devoid of any for her mistress she at least knew not to be stupid.

Getting on her knees as she presented the items to the master's she did not speak only stood unmoving in that position until released from it.

Speranza looked at the girl slightly uneasy about how to deal with that slave…

Seeing this Arkalat dealt with it taking Speranza out of the awkward situation for her.

Taking both drinks and handing the non-alcoholic one to his little wifey he spoke grimly.

"You may retire until called again."

Then turned his gaze to his love offering her his arm so she could hook hers into it with a gentle smile. Hooking her arm into his with a loving smile and endeared gaze.

"I should get a granny for the unborn child and also with wise woman skills so she can help take care of you."

His gaze drifted as they walked out looking over the wide sea arm that melted into the swamp river.

He had never dealt with pregnant women's so he did not know how to go about it.

Buying a skilled and devoted wise woman would place his mind at ease also it would put that Timara in her place before she brewed too many ideas.

But the more he thought the less he was inclined to keep such a woman by her side.

But he did not know if she liked that girl, after all, she only talked to her… He also did not want to deprive her of some womanly company and friends.h.i.+p.

Realizing that for one time he did not know how to handle the situation maybe he should ask that playboy prince? He had plenty of women he had to know how to deal with this.

Guiding Speranza as the sunsetted in the west they did not exchange words but a cuddle, a pat on the hand or arm here and there giving them a lovely atmosphere that definitely did not belong to the ramshackle town.

Entering the inn a wide wall of white silk stood in front of them.

Looking at her bewildered expression he made a triumphant smirk as he patted her back letting her go.

"This my dear is your surprises. Go one unveil them one by one." seeing her hesitant steps as noises from under the blanket covering the cages stirred.

The first blanket fell off the tallest cage a mid-sized wyvern with black scales blood red eyes he looked like a cross between a demon of h.e.l.l and a dragon!

His roar deafening he scared her into backing up she went close to him if her cutesy little one looked harmless, this one looked like it broke loose from abyss gates.

He measured about six feet to the shoulder with a wingspan of thirty feet for fifteen long from the snout to the tail tip.

Enough to say it terrified her! She fell back to his side. Seeing her this frightened he exploded at the wyvern and threw him a fast fist uppercut.

"zu'tour phor deem grt" (shut up you dim wit)

His deep voiced scrolling and the fist worked magic on the wyvern as it not only shut up but it whined like a scrolled child...

Speranza blinked a few time totally disbelieving that her husband just charged the creature and with a single punch placed it into submission...

Looking at it she now advanced again still she stayed far from that cage clearly her fear of it was great.

Seeing her cautiously advancing to his side eyeing the creature ready to flee at any moment he gave a mirthful laugh and looked at the animal.

"Do not worry beautiful if he does anything again we will have a fas.h.i.+onable rug tonight."

Hearing this the Wyvern s.h.i.+vered in fear…

Seeing it scared of Arkalat like it meets its biggest nemesis she could not believe her eyes.

In the corner drinking, a beer Dravick facepalmed even monsters for the lord sake deemed that this guy was a frightening lunatic…

Timara, however, envy ignited again He was offering this trash human that had no more magic with a second wyvern!

He smiled at her. "This is just a small wyvern no need to dread it, love."

Now it was all who witnessed the scene that looked as if looking at an idiot, that thing could shred half a squadron alone! And it was a "small" wyvern yeah sure! They unanimously decided never to provoke that owner/person.

He simply is a monster of nature better to leave him alone…

With his rea.s.surance Speranza made a step forward he even opens the cage stepping in first the wyvern kept its head lower so she could easily pat his head cooing at her submissively…

It had guessed it better please this little thing if he wants to keep its sorry little hide!

She finally smiled as she touched the sparkling deep black scales, gently she glided her fingers along the beast did not seem to mind it even seemed to enjoy it after a little while.

Its ego had already been flushed down the drain what was it to enjoy a delicate touch? Better stay peaceful and just endure… it was not so bad after all.
