Chapter 36.

The next morning came way too soon for either Marion or Gabriel for a bugle
call woke them up at sunrise and they both felt like they had drunk an entire
bottle of strong wine. They had to take a few minutes just to untangle their
bodies and unstick their skin for their juices had crusted overnight and they
woke up stuck together. When they finally managed to get up, Marion skipped
into the bathroom and brought back a wet towel. She kneeled in front of Gabriel
and thoroughly cleaned her pussy. After Marion was done, she planted a kiss on
Gabriel’s pussy and jumped back up to her feet. Gabriel then signaled Marion to
spread her legs and she returned the favor.

After they were both squeaky clean; they both got dressed for the day.
Marion of course carried her pair of short swords and Gabriel carried her pair
of revolvers, a K-Bar knife, and two throwing knives that Luke had made her.
She carried one pistol on each hip, and her overcoat hide them very well but
left them easy for her to get to in a hurry.

Marion had a huge amount of business to take care of today, but her first
stop was the hospital of course. She stopped in and saw Luke. He was still
sleeping, but Marion could tell that he looked just a little better today than
he had yesterday. Marion’s next stop was to see Cecilia. She was awake of
course and as she always did, had a frown on.

“Well good morning dear sister.” Chirped Marion. She was really in a good
mood.

“Aye fuck off bitch” was the response.

“Aww is that any way to greet your favorite sister?”

“Favorite sister is it? I would rather be Satan’s sister then yours’s. You
usurper!”

“Well, if you were actually capable of being a proper ruler then the people
wouldn’t have rebelled and threw your ass out. Now would they?”

“The people didn’t rebel bitch; you did!” snarled Cecilia. Marion gave her a
warm smile that pissed Cecilia off even more.

“Well, I’m afraid that I must be off for I have a lot of land to administer.
Oh, by the way, we seized all the money that you made by making others suffer
and we’re using it to rebuild with so you are now broke but at least the people
are getting paid for their labor now.”

“You Fucking Cunt! I Swear To God And Satan And Anyone Or Anything In
Between; That I Will Kill You Before I Die!” Cecilia screamed at the top of her
lungs. When she finished her face was blood red and she was breathing very
hard.

“I love you too sis. I have to be off but I’ll try to stop back in before I
turn in tonight.” With that she patted Cecilia on her shoulder, got up, and
left.

Marion had a very hard and long day ahead of her. She had to basically
rebuild the entire province for Cecilia had sucked almost all the wealth out of
it. She spent almost the entire day at her desk reading reports and issuing
orders. It seemed like everything needed tending to at this very moment. At
least Gabriel had done a damn good job at running things until Marion recovered
from her meltdown or she might have had another one. Gabriel went back to her
familiar role of head guard and in a pinch, Marion’s enforcer.

In her first day on the job, Marion heard complaints from everyone it
seemed;

from noblemen asking her for her hand in marriage while they were whining
about all the things that Cecilia had stolen from them;

to clergymen complaining about church lands and money that Cecilia had
seized;

to commoners begging for food and seed to plant. For Cecilia had taken
everything in taxes from them.

It was these people who Marion helped first. She had one of her guards make
a list of farmers and what they needed so they could plant their crops. A
different guard took the complaints of the nobles and clergy. Marion would
check to see if anything that Cecilia had illegally taken from them could be
tracked down. Marion also made sure that the church would at the very least get
back the land that their churches and cemeteries set on.

She doubted that the church would get back any of their commercial interest
and in fact she would make sure that they didn’t. In between hearing
complaints, Marion worked on laying the groundwork for setting up schools and
improving the sanitation system. She would have to wait until Pollyanna got back
to start serious work on the road network. Thinking about roads, she sent a
message to Bard, asking him to come in for a meeting with Marion.

Bard had always been somewhat of the oddball of the group for he was a
mediocre fighter at best. While he could fight, he would go out of his way to
avoid it. When Luke put him in charge of the metal works however, Bard found
his calling for he was a natural at business. While Luke built Marion’s army;
Bard built the metal works up to the point that within three months of him
being put in charge, York Metal works were the best known in the Isles. They
were known for innovative farming equipment and really fancy swords mostly. On
the armory side is where the real innovation was at; however Marion had banned
from selling to anyone but her for the time being anyway. Marion’s army created
enough demand anyway that the armory could barely keep up anyway.

Gabriel had made sure that Marion had half an hour to eat the lunch that she
brought her. It was just a sandwich with some fruit and a pint but Marion was
thankful none the less. After dealing the huge mess that Cecilia had left,
Marion was famished. After lunch, Marion was back at it until after dinner.
Finally, it was time to call it a night. Everyone that was still waiting were
put on a list for the first thing in the morning and offered a room for the
night. Everyone was taken back for this was unheard of. Marion told them to get
used to it for this was how things would be from now on. Everyone would have to
wait their turn and nobody would get special treatment because of who they
were.

After Marion had ate, she went down to see Cecilia just like she had
promised. Cecilia was still in a terrible mood and Marion’s cheerful but tired
mood made it worse. She just couldn’t stand seeing Marion happy. It really
pissed her to think that Marion was doing a better job than she did. When
Marion went into Luke’s room, she got the surprise of a lifetime for Luke was
awake and looked right at her with a smile when she walked in. She ran to his
bedside and kissed his so fiercely that he thought that she might rip his lips
off. Luke didn’t know how long his wife kissed him but he didn’t care for he
was so glad just to be alive and with her again. When they broke their kiss,
Marion had tears streaming down her face.

“Oh my god Marion! Did I hurt you? I’m so sor…” That was as far as he got
before Marion put her finger over his lips.

“Luke as much as you’re different from any other man that I’ve ever met, in
one regard you are like all the others for no man that I have ever met can
properly read a woman. I’m crying because I’m beyond happy Luke. I thought that
I had lost you forever and that thought was crushing me. I actually lost it for
three days. The last thing I remember is lifting you out of the rubble of that
house. The next thing I know, I’m back in my old chambers here in the castle;
still wearing my old soaked uniform. I had accepted that you had died and went
to heaven. That was the only thing that enabled me to climb out of bed and not
jump from a window. Then I find out that you’re still alive, and now despite
your wounds are awake. Seriously I think that I’m one of the luckiest women
ever to live. I love you with all my heart; Luke and I always will. I am so
sorry about what I said back…”

That was as far as she got before Luke pulled her down to him and started
kissing her. They kept kissing until they heard someone clear their throat
behind them. They found both Alice and Gabriel standing there wearing cat ate
the bird smiles.

“Marion, seriously don’t kill my patient by putting too much strain on his
heart.” Said Alice trying her best to be serious. Marion started to turn red,
then Gabriel just had to pile on.

“I for one, thought that there was only one person in that bed until Marion
turned around.”

Everyone in the room laughed and Marion’s face got redder. She swiped Luke’s
pillow and threw it at Gabriel. It hit Gabriel, only because she was laughing
so hard at Marion’s embarrassment that she couldn’t really move without risking
peeing her pants. After a couple of minutes of laughing, Alice was able to get
down to the business that had brought her in here in the first place. It was
time for her to check Luke’s wounds and change his dressings. She allowed
Marion to stay as long as she promised not to get sick. She quickly promised
and watched with interest as Alice changed Luke’s bandages.

His wounds had started to heal but he still had a long way to go. Alice
explained that the arrow that hit his abdomen hadn’t pierced any internal
organs and that the dust and rubble from the house probably saved his life for
the dust had partially sealed his wounds plus the rubble acted as a tourniquet,
slowing down his bleeding. Alice did
