Trial by Mental Combat: 3 Jinn vs 1 Sorcerer

"Luke, approach the throne. Guards, take the Princess and the other sorcerers back to a waiting room." Celestia said with a nod.

At that guards surrounded Ruby, Shannon, and Rebecca.

"Luke, don't do anything stupid!" Rebecca yelled before being led away.

People began to chatter as Luke was ushered up the throne steps.

"My Queen, and Love," Luke said giving a bow.

By then, the room was buzzing with private conversations.

"Silence in the Court," Celestia said snapping her fingers.

At that, all sound was gone. Luke turned to see the crowds struck mute. Curious, Luke clapped his hands together. It had no effect.

Just then Luke heard a voice in his head. "Sorry, my love, I wanted to talk privately."

Luke spun back to Queen Celestia.

"How did you ..." Luke asked in his mind.

"Telepathy," Celestia thought while giving a smile.

"What is going on?" Luke thought stepping closer.

"I am sorry, my court wants to test you. They need to be shown how powerful you are," Celestia thought frowning at the 200 Jinn in the hall.

Luke followed her gaze and saw the crowds all using some kind of Sign Language.

"So are you ready to show them your power?" Celestia thought, breaking Luke from watching everyone.

"What power, I am no fighter," Luke thought in a rush.

"No, you are a lover. It's time to show my court your potency," Celestia said rising into the air.

Luke connected the dots a moment later. He realized what Celestia wanted him to do and tried to call out. Forgetting sound didn't work Luke opened his mouth and gave a silent shout.

Crack! Boooom! Booom. boom.

The crowds froze as Celestia's thunder echoed off the walls.

"My Royal Consort Luke Smith is the father of my next child and the father of my future grandchild," Celestia said putting a hand to her heavily pregnant belly.

The crowds began to whisper. Luke could overhear "Princes Eversong," said multiple times.

"Silence," Celestia yelled snapping her fingers.

Lighting bolts flashed outside the Throne room scorching the balcony's marble. Everyone stared at their Queen.

"My Royal Consort is powerful. He shall demonstrate his power mentally. As Queen, I choose the houses of Berry, Shine, and Storm as participants. Your great domains must choose one female member to fight. Luke shall mentally combat all three Jinn nobles at once. You will have 1 Hour to test my Consort. If my Consort mentally dies, I shall forfeit my Second child's royal status and forfeit the Princess's first child's royal status. But if he survives he will be recognized by all members of the Court." Celestia said before floating back down to her throne.

"Attention!" A Green Jinn in Armor yelled.

"Trial by Mental Combat has been declared by Queen Celestia, Grand Jinn Ruler of the Land of Dreams. Consort Luke Smith shall fight 3 female members of the Duchies of House Berry, Shine, and Storm. Mental Combat will conclude in one hour or at the first mental **** of a participant. Physical harm is not permitted," the Green Knight Yelled.

Luke was frozen as his mind raced. Trial by Mental Combat? Did Celestia want him dead? Or did she expect him to withstand the mental attack of 3 Demi-Gods for an hour?

"Wait," Luke mumbled.

Celestia said he was a lover, and something about potency ... Luke looked to the Queen smiling on her throne.

"Aw fuck," Luke said looking toward Duchess Berry, and Shine.

Luke mentally sighed knowing Celestia wanted him to impregnate and magically enslave her political enemies.

"My Queen!, may I speak?" Duke Storm yelled over the crowd.

"Speak Duke," Celestia said with a nod.

"I choose my Daughter, Granite Storm," Duke Storm said nodding to a grey-skinned Jinn woman. Luke saw Granite Storm stand the same height as her father and shared his muscular physique.

"Duchess Storm! please approached the throne," the Green knight shouted.

Granite Storm marched up the steps and stood left of the Queen's throne, directly across from Luke.

"House Berry! and House Shine! Choose your champions!" the Green knight shouted.

"My Queen, may I speak?" Duchess Berry said stepping forward.

"Speak Duchess," Celestia said with a blank expression.

"I choose myself. Head of my house to TEST the Royal Consort," the tall female Blue skin Jinn said with a smirk.

"Duchess Berry! please approached the throne," the Green knight shouted.

Just then another voice called out.

"My Queen, may I speak?" Duchess Shine said stepping forward.

"Speak Duchess," Celestia said before hiding a grin in her hand.

"I choose myself. Head of my house to also test the Royal Consort," the very short female yellow skin Jinn said in a rush.

"Duchess Shine! please approached the throne," the Green knight shouted.

Luke watched as three Powerful Jinn Nobles gathered and stood against him. Duchess Berry, Shine, and Storm, three literal demi-gods stared daggers at Luke.

Bang! The green skin Jinn knight slammed his fist against his shield in salute.

"As is tradition, the highest-ranking fighter will choose if the Trial by Mental Combat shall be in private or in public. In this case, Duchess Berry shall decide. Will the Arena's **** Feild be transparent or opaque?" the Green knight shouted.

Everyone looked to the tall Blue skin Jinn Noble.

"Why does fate want me to fuck everyone?" Luke mumbled to himself.

Luke was grateful his Breeding Talisman's Greater 'Mental Fortitude' buff would probably help in the coming fight. At that thought, Luke quickly prayed for his Life Wizard Subclass Jinn Binder to help too, and that his Siren's curse would not mutate his soul again.

"Let's hope 'Sorcerer Enslavement Aura' is the end of my soul mutation," Luke whispered.
