Everyone was gathered together in the main clearing outside of the palaces. Julien and Marlene were huddled together, with their paws grasping each others, waiting for Kowalski and Private to arrive with the rocket. Marie had momentarily gone back to her palace to gather some subjects. Savio was there in the clearing as well and he had been tied into a large knot that he couldn't get out of by himself. Some subjects had come and taken Zera away and torn her dress to shreds. Marlene herself was no longer wearing her gown. Dave, Rico, and Skipper were approaching the two.

"I just got word from Kowalski. He's and Private are on their way with the rocket. We'll all be going home soon," Skipper announced.

"You mean you guys will be going home," Marlene said.

Skipper looked back at her and said, "What? You're coming too Marlene."

Marlene shook her head sadly and said, "I can't Skipper. I'm married to Julien now. I can't leave here now."

Marlene still struggled in Savio's mighty grip. She had been at it for so long that she was now growing fatigued. Savio didn't mind it, he loved it when his prey struggled. It reminded him of that he the one was in control of the situation. His stomach growled loudly and he began to grow a little antsy.

"Zera can we hurry this up? I'm starving," Savio complained.

Zera ignored him and pressed Marie on once more. Marie herself was feeling a bit antsy as well. She was being forced to wed her son to this lemur she hated and the end would be the same no matter what she did. If she agreed to wed, both she and Marlene would die. If not, then her son may die too. She wiped the sweat from her brow and contiued on.

"Do you Zera, take my son to be your king? To hold until they day you die?" Marie said coldly to Zera.

Zera didn't mind Marie's cold nature, instead she smiled and said, "Oh I do. I do your highness."

Zera leaned into Julien a little bit and he was only showing a look of concern. He looked back at Marlene who was all wrapped up and peering up Savio's head. He looked back at his mother who has certain to be...

Marlene looked from Marie to Zera and then back to Marie.

"Uh Marie? Who is that woman?" Marlene asked.

Marie sighed and said, "She was a servant girl in my palace sometime ago. She always had a thing for my son. And she was always very obsessive."

Zera chuckled and said, "Sweet talk won't save either one of you."

Marlene gulped as Savio began to squeeze her tighter.

"So what happened?" Marlene managed to say as Savio loosened his hold on her a little bit.

Marie sighed and said, "One day Julien announced that he was seeking a bride and Marie tried to eliminate the competition. Literally, she tried to eliminate every female that tried to court my son. No one died thankfully."

Zera smirked and said, "At least no one that you knew."

Marie shook her head and said, "I banished Zera after one of the girls courting my son actually lost an eye from Zer'a rage. The poor girl still crys over the loss."
