Return to Bowser

On the way back you find Bowser in the hall bellowing in panic. That is until he sees you and Kamek walking calmly towards him. The Magikoopa was nice enough to magic up some new clothes for you. You wear a dress similar to your normal one with a few exceptions. It is black with cutouts in the back and and on the chest with gold trim. The addition of some red gem stone jewelry and it feels very appropriate for the princess of this particular castle.

“Where were you? I thought…”

“Just a bath my king.” You say giving a curtsy. “What does a girl need to do to get breakfast around here?”

Taken off guard, his yelling changes from demanding your location to demanding a meal. Before long you are in a richly appointed dining hall being served a delicious meal. All your favorite breakfast foods are here and made with such care... you can't help but dig in with abandon. Once you have had your fill however it is time to get to business. You switch chairs so you can be closer to Bowser and steel your nerves.

“We need to talk…” you start and see him wince. The poor thing is terrified. “Hey now, this is important, how else will I determine if we have sex before the wedding or not?”

His eyes bulge. “You still want to marry me?”

“Tsk, no comment about the sex huh, maybe I am past my prime...” you tease.

“Hmph, you are more beautiful then ever, but I thought you would change your mind.”

“Honestly I was more worried you would, but putting that aside, we really need to talk about my kingdom. I don’t want it destroyed, I want you to help me fix it.”

“Remaking it from the ground up would be easier… burning them all for what they let happen to you…”

“I know you want to do that to me, maybe to prove your how powerful you are... but it takes more strength to forgive… please…”

“Fine…” he grumps.

“You will become king of the Mushroom Kingdom?" You push. "You, Bowser will work ‘with’ me to keep my people safe and happy?”

He does hesitate now. “Why not become queen of the Koopa’s and rule by my side?”

“That’s what I am getting at… I don’t know if that will work for my people… if you **** them into your kingdom they may not respect either of us, we can’t burn it down and start over…”

Scratching his chin, he waves his hand. ”I think one government would be easier to maintain but I will become king of the Mushroom Kingdom and you will become queen of the Koopas. We will build a castle in a more centralized location and slowly merge the policies of both our governments, allowing individual cities to keep their culture while promoting immigration to get the population to start intermingling… and… what? WHAT?!” He growls at you getting angry as you are staring at him jaw agape, eyes wide.

Wiping drool from your chin you apologize quickly. ”Sorry! Sorry... that… that was so sexy! I never expected you to be…”

“Hmph… never expected me to be educated?” He barks.

You blush “You are right, I have treated you poorly up to this point.” you take his massive hand in yours, caressing it. “I hope you will let me make it up to you my future husband.”

His feigned anger gives way quickly under your gentle touch. “Fine, but I am going to have you make it up to me in the bed chamber once we are married!” He growls.

“Why Wait… “ you are almost more surprised by the words then he is. Shit! Your heart leaps in your chest, you are falling for him. Now that he has compromised... now that this is really happening you can feel it, deep in side. You are falling in love with Bowser.

"P-Princess?"

“That is if you would still respect me after… I suddenly find that your good opinion is extremely important to me... but the feelings I have... I also want you… want to be with you.”

“You will be my wife and queen." Bowser says with confidence. "Our sleeping together won’t change that, nothing will." He laughs. "And as long as you prove you are worthy of ruling with your actions I will respect your words even while I ravage your body.”

One thing he said echoes in your head. 'As long as you prove you are worthy of ruling' but are you? Haven’t you failed at that until now? “What… what if I am not worthy…” Tears begin to well up in your eyes.

“You are.” He waves his hand dismissively.

“No, I am serious… the corruption in my court… the problems of my people… I failed already.”

He takes one large finger and gently wipes away your tears. “I see, then we will educate you and make you worthy.”

“What?”

“Royal tutors and going over matters together, look, I am not going to let you fail. We are in this together from now on.”

Together… you like the sound of that.
