"He's your cousin, so if he flirted with Emma that's open incest," Anya pointed out to Conrad, "Not only is that quite...disgusting, he would be killed by the lycans in her court. The lycans in my court openly despise him as it is, though the number of vampires are greater here."
Oscar sat by Emma, "Well kindly take him out of your court."
Anya chuckled as she leaned against the cool wall, "What did you think I was going to do? Just let him openly mock my position in my own court? I am a Queen, I'm not some woman that enjoys getting pampered by multiple men."
Giving her a confused expression, Oscar scratched the back of his head, "I'm..confused, so then why is his scent still here?"
"He's here, but Katya is...entertaining him at the moment," Anya gave a sickening glance to the floor at the thought, "Upon realizing he was getting nowhere with me, his best option is my sister. They have yet to realize that they are getting married soon because of their consummation and will be returning to Italy soon enough."
She already knew that Emma and her kind didn't see Anya or her children as a rising Royal Family, so instead of proving to them of their worth she would just keep acting the way she did with a high propriety and teach her children to do the same. All true monarchies rose from nothing and ended with everything, any history textbook would say the same.

Oscar stood and walked to Anya's side. He could see he hurt in her eyes by what she had to do. Anya gave a masked smile as he murmured, "I have no choice in the matter. Katya means well, but if Conrad..."
"Hush," Oscar responded in a whisper as he pulled her aside, "There are already rumors that Leonardo beds any woman he wants. I had no worry that you would fall for him. You're one of the best Queens that know when to make the right move. I am more proud of you now than iwas before."
He knew the vampires in Anya's court were loyal to solely get now and woul not sways their opinion. They would respect the Novra but would remain in Anya's garden. Besides, Anya was loyal to the Novra and Oscar could see she was more focused on the well being of her court an for her children. However, he saw that Conrad had other plans in mind. Maybe it would hurt to see ol' Connie scrubbing the floors to make him realize where his new station was.
"Katya wouldn't kill either of us," Anya grimaced in Conrad's hold, "I know my sister, she'll be upset but will understand why I must go forward with it. Perhaps she will be lucky upon me choosing her husband, she has me marry you and we're doing okay so far."

"Quite a daughter you have there," Oscar responded, then turned back to Anya, "Do what you can for now. You know i'm always here if you need me."
"You can't," Anya felt the tears sting her eyes, Oscar took her farther away from the two so he could speak to her in private, "You're Emma's now. I can't just call on you when I need help because you belong to her. I have to be rid of my own sister because of this... Everyone outside my castle calls me a b*****d queen when I know I am not. I just..."
"Shh," Oscar held Anya against him, "Shh. You are a warrior queen, you've fought harder than any other queen I know of. Trust me when I say you deserve this position than a lot of other people I know of. Let them talk. You know and I know differently."
Anya found comfort in her sire-brothers words as she pulled away from his embrace. She always felt better after Oscar gave her the words of encouragement she needed to hear. The door creaked open to the dungeons and Alexei peaked his head in, "Mother, Father? My lessons are finished, is there anything I can do?"
"Yes," Anya turned to her son, "You may go and tend to your sisters. Make sure they are out of trouble."
Alexei smiled and headed off. Anya smiled as well, more proud of her son every time she laid her eyes on him. Oscar patted her back, "You produce the best of them, I swear. I can only hope my kids will turn out as good as yours."
"I am sure they will," Anya responded, then turned his gaze to the doorway, "For now, I will talk with Katya. I don't want to banish my sister, but if I do not have the option...then that will be that."

"I will need help," Anya turned to Oscar, since Conrad was once again too engrossed in his 'most important child', "Katya will not go through with this willingly."
"As always, I am by your side," Oscar followed Anya out of the dungeons, "Always."
Anya led them out of the dungeon to where Katya fanned herself. She wreaked of sex, but no one seemed to mind. Katya was always the flirtatious of the two sisters and always had a lingering scent on her. Anya took Katya's wrist as Oscar took the other, discretely taking her to a private room.
"What is this?" Katya freed herself.
"You will send Leonardo back or you will marry him," Oscar stated as he crossed his arms.
"Are you insane?" Katya turned to Anya, "He is meant for you! Leave that incestual nit-wit you're married to and marry someone who will actually care more about you! I'm giving you an opportunity you can't pass up!"
"Honestly, i'd love for you to ditch Connie, but not marry someone like Leonardo," Oscar turned to Anya.
"Katya," Anya took a deep breath, "This is the last time i'm going to say this. I'm married to Conrad, I'm with him though he favors Emma and cares little for my own children because I am a good wife. There is no one else for me. So, since you have consummated with Leonardo, you know that you must do the same."
Katya's eyes widened at the thought of marriage. It quickly turned to a glare, "Sister...you wouldn't."
"Perhaps the bond of matrimony will make you see what really happens when something you love is constantly taken from you by someone else," Anya's gazed turned cold.
Oscar knew Anya meant Emma, but wouldn't out right just say it. It was no secret that Conrad favored Emma above anyone else. He felt sorry for his sire sister and stood by her side. Katya grimaced as she crossed her arms, "Fine. He can go. I'll let him know that his departure back to Italy will be swift."
Anya didn't say another word as she left the room, though Oscar reminded Katya that it would be best to lay low for awhile. He followed Anya to where she went to one of her most private rooms and stood on the balcony with her. Anya held her crown in her hands, "You know, when I first became Queen, I knew it would be hard. I took it from you, actually."
"I gave it to you," Oscar reminded Anya, "The title of Queen would've gone to Emma, but I gave it to you to be the sole matriarch for your kingdom instead. My people didn't accept Emma because of the monster she was at the time, that's why they looked to you and haven't looked back."
She nodded slightly as she placed the crown on her head, "b*****d Queen or not, I have an honest kingdom of honest people. We don't fool around and we don't start wards. We are simply at peace with the world."

"Our Queen," Anya's ladies approached the two, "More vampires from North America and your old school have pledged their allegiance to you. Your court has grown to that of a state. Soon, you will have your own country."
Anya blushed at the thought. Knowing her kingdom was vastly growing she would need more than just herself to be ruler. But could she trust Conrad with that type of power? She had before and he nearly killed her off, he did kill his own people off, and he had threatened to kill anyone that defied him. It was a risk, but her people would understand. Anya nodded and turned to Oscar, "It seems your wife has decided to leave you once again. I hope you find happiness, brother."
"Well, she is my wife," Oscar sighed as he scratched the back of his head, "The greatest good I will ever get... But, she's pregnant, so when I don't look at her the whole day is ruined basically."
"Understood," Anya chuckled, knowing that Emma would act like that even if she wasn't pregnant, "Go to your wife and tend to your duties. Having your company here as cheered me up greatly."
Oscar gave Anya one last hug before heading back to Emma's, knowing he wouldn't have the biggest of receptions but at least he was still married to her unless she wanted a spontaneous divorce.
Anya went down to see that there was at least several kilometers added to her kingdom to hold as many vampires as she had. Some lycans remained, but most were of formal vampire descent or just plain country people who admired Anya's history. She went to see her children playing, though she was somewhat surprised to see Conrad there. Then again, not really. Emma had left, so his attention would be diverted to his other children seeing as his favorite had left.
"Is your Father playing nice?" Anya mused, to which the children smiled and nodded before the twins hugged on Conrad's legs, "Pick us up, Father!"

"I left you alone in there because your father hovered over you when Anya needed him to hover over her," Oscar reminded Emma, "I won't come between you and your father, but it hurts Anya too when you two tag team against her, and you know I wouldn't just leave her for you two to pick on her."
He held her closer, "If you want to stay in here and leave someone else to rule in your place, that's totally your call."
Anya watched from her library's window how her people scurried in the bustling cities that nestled within the mountains and could be seen by her castle. Conrad believed she couldn't see through him, but she could with such ease. He made it seem as if he never cared for Emma's mother, which is an utter lie considering he continued the relationship in discretion with the risk of being caught. Plus, instead of claiming Emma a b*****d since she was born out of wed-lock he kept her in the line and even called her a true heir. The truth is always in the details.
It wasn't concerning, though. Alexei would continue as Anya's heir since it was clear that her empire and Emma's kingdom would never mesh together. Thus is life, or death considering the situation. Anya then noticed Leonardo's departure, her sister waving a goodbye to him. Good, one less pain to deal with. She was at least thankful Katya wouldn't be leaving too. With Oscar gone, she knew Conrad would bully her back to his shadow if he could like before.
