The Legend of Serpia

hapter 10: Jeitan Knights



As I lay in Seth's arms that night after our fifth round of mating in 7 hours, I brought up the fact that I escaped the palace for the day. Instead of having the response I wanted, one of what-did-you-do-today and can-I-go-with-you-next-time, I was surprised when he started to freak out, yelling that I could have been killed, kidnapped, raped, beaten up (which wasn't likely) and I was never, ever to leave the palace again or there would be hell to pay. I thought fine, since he won't let me go out, I won't mate with him. I voiced this minutes later when he announced that he was horny again. He complained for a while and I told him the reason I wouldn't mate with him.

"But, Serpia! I am just showing how much I care about you… I don't want you getting hurt, that's all. And I don't want you to be given the chance to cheat on me, 'cause with some of those studs out there I'm sure you would."

He was actually doubting me… saying I would cheat on him… how dare he… I never would. I was getting pissed so I decided to do the one thing I knew would piss him off.

"Seth, I'm sleeping on the couch."

I picked up the blanket and my pillow and walked out to his complaints. How dare he say I'd get hurt. How dare he say that I'd cheat on him… Fucking Bastard. I'd show him. I fell asleep by myself on the couch, listening to Seth complain about how much he needed to mate me, begging me to come back.



I woke up the next morning to Seth holding a tray filled with food out to me. He apologized for what he said last night and told me that I could go out if I wanted to. And then he got on his knees and begged me like a 5 year old to sleep with him in the big bed that night. I couldn't stay angry with him. I agreed to sleep with him later, but told him that if he said anything insulting like that ever again, HE would be sleeping on the couch without blanket or pillow for a whole week. He gave me the puppy dog face. I suddenly felt really, really horny.

"So, Seth, still horny? Shall we begin a whole new game or start at round 6?"

He readily agreed to mate and we spent several hours on the couch, fucking long and hard. He hit my spot over and over; I came more times than I could count. When he finally came it was a lot, and quite explosive.

We were still lying in each other's arms, bare-ass naked on the couch, when Onyx rushed in.

"Hey commander… nice birthday suit." He said, snickering. "Well, when you two are done you should probably get your butts out there… the king summoned you a while ago but no one had the guts to come in here with such noise…"

"Shit!!! Onyx! You should have told us that my father summoned us WHEN my father summoned us, not 20 minutes later!"

"What, and risk getting my head blasted off? I really don't think so… Anyways, hurry up. He only summoned you 10 minutes ago, so don't panic."

I was going to kill Onyx as soon as we found out what my father wanted. I was not even dressed and he was already in MY private chambers, telling me I was late for an imperial summon, which no one told me about 'cause I was busy mating. Jeez, someone was going to pay.

I put on my best clothes, the leather armor my father gave me, grabbed Seth and rushed towards the throne room while trying to perfect my mate's half-ass attempt at getting dressed.

"We are going to see the king! Why can't you even dress yourself accordingly?! Are you 4?" I bitched as I straightened his armor and cape.

"Quit your bitching Serpia. It ain't my fault that Onyx ruined your cuddling time so don't take it out on me, please. I hope the king's got something good for us to do, all this no-war no-training shit is really boring me. I need some action." He smiled at me. "Outside the bedroom, that is."

We pushed through the doors of the throne room and walked extremely fast towards the throne. My father was decked out in traditional Jeitan royal clothing, unusual even for him. He nodded to me as Seth and myself bowed low before him.

"Ah, Serpia. Today is a fine day in deed. Do tell me, why are you 15 minutes late?"

"You see, father, Onyx did not tell Seth or myself that we had been summoned until 5 minutes ago. It took 5 minutes to dress appropriately and get here. I beg your pardon, father."

"All is forgiven. You came quickly, given the circumstances. Onyx will be punished for his actions. Now, my daughter, do you recall the night before you went to Arilia?"



"Very well. You gave me some beautiful armor, made me a commander and made Seth share his army with me."

"I also said that I would reward you greatly if you returned. And here you are before my very eyes. The conquest of Arilia, aside from some minor problems, went over well. We no longer are threatened by them, and we never will be again. I am going to be true to my word. Please kneel. Both of you."

We knelt, wondering what was going to happen, what our magical reward was going to be. I heard the sound of a sword being pulled from it's sheath and my hand went instantly to my dagger, but didn't rest there when I figured out that it was my father's sword.

"I, King Daemon, King of Novajita, before the Jeitan royal court, do pronounce you Sir Seth (the sword touched his shoulder) and Lady Serpia (The sword touched mine), Jeitan Knights."

My father put the sword back in his sheath and grinned at us. "Congrats." Seth and I didn't get up; we just stared at each other in shock. We were Jeitan Knights. To be made a Jeitan Knight was the highest reward that could be given to someone. In all of Jeitan history there were only 4 other recorded Jeitan Knights. To be a knight meant that you would take the place of the King if anything happened to him, even over the crown prince. If the king was killed you were the next king. I was the first female to be given such a fine reward. It also meant that Seth and I had to appoint a new commander for the army. We were not to go on any trips to outer space with the army unless it was very important. Jeitan knights usually guided the army only during wartime. It looked like Seth was going to have a really boring rest of his life. Too bad for him. This was such an honor.



A week went by and the preparations for the mating ceremony that was supposed to join Seth and I got underway. Seth was given fine Jeitan armor to wear, leather armor instead of the usual rubber and a beautiful red cape. The red headband he usually wore was forbidden to attend the ceremony. I was taken shopping in Jaeda along with Hydra and the women of the Jeitan court. I picked out the dress for Hydra. It was a human one, a Japanese Kimono. It was blue with white flowers. She was going to wear her hair up for the ceremony, something Jeitan women rarely do. The other women also wore dresses from Earth, although they were nowhere near as nice as Hydra's. Their dresses were all halter style, and all were baby blue. My own dress was royal blue, of course, and it was strapless. I wore an ivory corset underneath. Hmmm, Seth was going to have fun trying to get that off. At my demand, I was allowed to wear my Jeitan boots. Hydra was going to do my hair. She was going to put it up in a bun and leave two strands down in front of my ears. I would wear my black eyeliner, the only makeup I owned. I would wear my silver earrings, not my gold ones, and a silver chain around my neck. I would also wear my silver rings. I loved silver and it was great that silver went so well with blue. When everything was purchased we brought it all back to the palace and placed it inside the room my father had cleaned out for storage.
