Chosen Bride of the Seven Dark Princes

Chapter 170 - 5 Billion Jemals

By the time Dante, Byron, and Lucas returned to the Raptor 600, Candace had gone to bed.

The rest of the brothers were still up and waiting for them in the star viewing lounge.

They were sipping on cocktails and lazing around on the C shaped sofa when the three brothers strode in.

"That was a long and lavish dinner you had with the Grand Duke," Leonardo raised an eyebrow.

Dante pulled out the round chip and held it up between two fingers. He looked over at Slate expectantly and flicked it over to him.

Slate raised up his hand and caught it cleanly as it sailed through the air. He moved over to the console and pushed the chip into a slot.

Immediately, a visual monitor popped up and suddenly, moaning and sighing sounds of the sexual nature filled the entire star viewing lounge.

The visual started off with a BANG!!! right into the scene of a man and a woman getting it on. As the princes stared in fascinated horror, their jaws dropped.

"Holy crap!" Jared gasped. "That's the King of Coraline!"

Byron felt nauseous as he looked upon his uncle doing the dirty deed with some woman he didn't recognize.

"Dante, why did the Grand Duke give us a video of my uncle Dilbert having sex? Do I care who he sleeps with?"

Jason laughed. "You would if you knew who your uncle was banging. That is the Grand Duchess of Emporia, The Lady Barbara."

Jared covered his eyes with his hands. "Oh my Lord. I cannot unsee this. Aunt Barbara with the King of Coraline."

Byron grimaced. "Wait. Isn't she married to…"

"Yes. She is married to the Grand Duke of Emporia, Landry Cordera."

"Isn't he Mortimer Cordera's youngest brother?" Lucas asked.

Slate rubbed his assaulted eyes. "So Byron's uncle is diving his dick into the twins' aunt. What does this have to do with anything?"

But even as he asked, the onscreen couple orgasmed in front of their eyes, howling and screaming with pleasure. And then, quite clearly, King rumbled into his mate's ear.

"And with that, we've sealed the deal. I've transferred the funds into your husband's account. The only thing left to do is to hand me the keys to your kingdom."

The Grand Duchess gave a light low laugh as she extricated herself from King Dilbert's amorous grasp. Reaching to the side table, she grabbed her purse and handed it to him.

"Darling, the keys to the kingdom is right here in my handbag. I'll accidentally leave my purse here so I can come back later and retrieve it."

King Dilbert of Coraline chuckled as he took the bag with one hand and pinched her nipple with the other.

"I will make sure to be here so I can personally deliver it into your loving arms."

The video ended at that point, leaving the brothers silently looking at each other.

It wasn't just a tryst. It was planned and executed with approval by all parties involved.

"I feel so sick." Byron gasped.

"You and me both." Jason gagged, putting down his martini.

Dante's eyes narrowed. "I need to get in touch with Mattheus and let him know that Emporia has been sold to the Avian King. He's not going to be happy that the kingdom he fought so hard to retake has been sold away."

Byron shook his head. "My uncle paid a hefty sum for that world. He's not going to let it go that easily."

"Do we know how much?" Dante asked.

Slate tapped on the command console.

"It looks like King Dilbert transferred 5 billion jemals into the Grand Duke's account very recently."

Dante sneered. "I just paid King Palmer 7 billion jemals for that dust ball world he calls a resort. Your uncle got Emporia for a steal."

"That's because he bought it on the black market from a person who doesn't exactly even have the rights to sell it because it's not really his to sell!!!" Byron snarled.

Slate laughed. "Well, it looks like King Dilbert is about to lose 5 billion jemals, and Duke Landry is about to get nailed for fraud and theft of a world."

"You know King Dilbert is not going to let go of Emporia now that he's paid a fortune for it."

"He can claw it back from the Grand Duke."

"Not if Mattheus gets to him first. Once the money falls into Mattheus' hands, King Dilbert isn't going to get a dime back."

Dante waved a hand. "Well. It's been fun chatting with you but I have a fish to go fry."

Jason and Jared stood up. "You're going after Uncle Landry and Aunt Barbara?"

Dante glared at the twins. "Sorry Brothers. It's personal this time."

"Oh no. We're coming with you. We got kidnapped too, remember? He's going to get some of that payback from us as well." Jason grinned and flexed his arms.

"I'll go take care of Uncle Dilbert." Byron sigh. "Want to come along, Slate?"

Slate placed his half-finished whiskey sour on the table and rose from his seat with some reluctance.

"Let's get this over with."

As the five men left the room, Lucas and Leonardo looked at each other.

"So you're finally married." Leonardo gave a sad smile. "Congratulations, Brother."

"I know you wanted to marry her, Leo." Lucas sighed.

Leonardo pressed an Old Fashioned into Lucas' hand.

"What's most important is that we each received a fragment of her Avgo. That is marriage of the spiritual sort that transcends the legal paper."

Lucas nodded and took a sip of his drink.

"Leo. You gave her a check-up. Is she doing okay?"

"Yes." Leonardo nodded. "And no."

Lucas' eyes widened.

"What's wrong with her?"

"It's hard to explain. I honestly can't tell you exactly what's wrong because this is beyond my experience."

"You've cared for pregnant women and delivered babies before, Leo."

"Of course. I'm not a paper-pusher doctor. I actually do surgeries and care for my patients." Leonardo waved a hand in protest.

"I'm just saying I've never seen an Avgo fragment stuck inside a woman's womb before."

"Stuck?" Lucas rubbed his forehead. "What do you mean? Like she's been impaled or something?"

"No, no. I mean it's just a tiny little crystal that we wouldn't even be able to see with our naked eyes, but it's floating around inside her womb and it's causing her some discomfort."

"How—how do you know she's in discomfort? Did she say she was in pain?"

Leonardo shook his head.

"She didn't have to say anything. We all had dinner together and I noticed she didn't eat much. And then immediately after dinner, she begged off and went to her room."

"Was she looking sick?"

Leonardo shook his head. "No, but it was a strange behavior that I hadn't seen before. I went to check on her thirty minutes ago and she was sound asleep."

Lucas sighed. "You're right. It's barely ten at night. She wouldn't be sleeping this early unless she wasn't feeling well."

"Are you going to alert our other Brothers?"

"I'm going to keep an eye on her for another 24 hours. If she still shows signs of being unwell, I'll call a meeting with all the Brothers, to talk about our wife."
