🔷 Part 9: “The Tails of Sparta”

The hall was alive with music and celebration, yet amidst the clamor, Leonidas felt a quiet shift within himself. The weight of the Goblin King’s death and his own isolation over the past months still lingered in his heart, but now, as Ninetails sat beside him, her presence like a beacon of light, he felt the first stirrings of peace—peace in the recognition that his reign was not a solitary endeavor. He was no longer alone in his struggle. The divine power of his love for Ninetails was not a hindrance but a strength.

As the night carried on, several of his most trusted commanders approached, their eyes wide with wonder at the goddess sitting at his side. The air seemed to hum with their reverence as they kneeled, one by one, to offer their blessings. Each man’s gaze lingered on Ninetails, awe-struck by her beauty and grace.

"Your Highness," Commander Demetrius began, his voice filled with both respect and admiration. "Sparta has always been a land of warriors, but with you, we now know that we stand before something far greater. A queen born not from the blood of men, but from the very essence of the divine."

The words struck Leonidas deeply. He had always thought of his leadership as something rooted in blood and battle, in the grit and strength of Sparta’s warriors, but this—this was something beyond that. He realized now, as Demetrius spoke, that he had been seeking only half of what his kingdom needed. Ninetails brought with her a new kind of power, a power that could weave through the hearts of his people and give them a future they never dared to imagine.

One by one, more commanders came forward, their voices filled with gratitude and reverence. "May your love for Leonidas guide us all to victory," said another. "May your wisdom bring us prosperity," another added. With each blessing, Leonidas felt a renewed sense of responsibility wash over him. This was not a moment of weakness but a moment of strength—his leadership was now shared, and it was more powerful than ever before.

Yet it was not just the commanders who were impacted. The people of Sparta, who had gathered in the hall to celebrate their king’s return, were transfixed by Ninetails. Her silver hair shimmered like the moon itself, and her nine golden tails sparkled in the candlelight. The crowd’s whispers carried through the hall, their voices full of awe and curiosity. What would it mean for Sparta to have such a divine being as their future queen? How would her presence change their world? They wondered about her power, her wisdom, and, most of all, how she would shape their future.

At that moment, as if sensing the weight of their questions, Ninetails rose from her seat, her movements fluid and graceful. The room fell silent, every eye on her as she stepped forward. Leonidas stood beside her, his heart swelling with pride and confidence.

"I know many of you are worried about your king," Ninetails began, her voice soft yet carrying the weight of divine authority. "I know you have seen the trials he has faced, the battles that have shaped him, and the distance he has kept from you all. But I assure you, he is more capable than he has ever been."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the crowd, and for a moment, the entire hall seemed to hold its breath.

"My love for him will never stand in the way of his duties," she continued, her voice steady and full of conviction. "In fact, I am more than capable of helping in ways Sparta has never had before. Together, we will bring not just victory, but wisdom, prosperity, and a future you all can be proud of."

A ripple of awe passed through the crowd, followed by a profound silence. Leonidas felt his chest tighten with both pride and gratitude. Ninetails had spoken from her heart, and in doing so, she had eased the worries of his people. The goddess was not just his lover; she was his equal, and together they would build something far stronger than any kingdom could achieve alone.

As her words settled in the hearts of the crowd, the tension that had lingered dissolved, replaced by hope. The future of Sparta, once uncertain, now gleamed with promise. And for the first time since his return, Leonidas knew, deep in his soul, that his kingdom was not only safe—it was destined for greatness.

The hall erupted into applause, the sound filling every corner of the room, and as Leonidas looked at Ninetails, he saw the same gleam of certainty in her eyes that he now felt within himself. Together, they would lead Sparta into an era unlike any before.
