Chosen Bride of the Seven Dark Princes

The exterior of the Candace 001 was a pearly rose-gold, in keeping with the fact that she was the holder of the pink Avgo gemstone.

Its slick exterior was flawless and seamless, with an external landing bay and the hangar under the ship for docking transport vehicles and guard ships.

Once they boarded from one of Dante's fancy high-end transport vehicles, the men took Candace on a quick tour of the ship as she began heading towards Marakaran.

First stop was the Command Deck where eight egg-shaped Command Chairs faced a huge panel window that stared out into the depths of a space filled with stars.

The chairs were arranged so that each of them had their own chair, with Candace's chair placed in the middle of the brothers.

Then it was onto the dining hall where dozens of covered round tables filled a chamber with high ceilings dripping with crystal chandeliers and a Jason-&-Jared custom-designed carpet in a profusion of muted colors.

They moved onto the bright kitchen where four head chefs covering cuisines from various worlds from around the galaxy.

There was even a chef from Earth who was so excited to be there that he assured Candace she could enjoy, among many other things, corn dogs, burritos, or macaroni and cheese and not feel badly about having a chef make it for her.

Then onward to the huge theater that doubled as a concert hall for various music and theater shows for her to watch live shows as well as put on her own shows.

Immediately behind the theater was the ball room that doubled as Candace's dance floor, giving her more than ample space to run and dance to her heart's content.

The music system was positioned so that it didn't matter if she was running full speed from one end of the room to the other, it would remain consistent and full. The lights were perfectly designed. It was a dance floor that rivaled the one that had been made for her in Dante's Moon.

There was also a library that had been created for her. At the moment it was a bit sparse.

"We left it mostly empty so you can fill it up with treasures you gather on your journey through all the worlds." Jason grinned. "If you need more space, there is room on the other side of this wall that can open up to accommodate more treasures you collect."

"Yes. Your other library in our moon is still there for you, waiting for when you return to it." Dante reassured her.

They led her onto the arcade where the twins ran around showing her all the fun things to do there. It was very similar to the arcade they had played at on the Raptor 650 with one big difference. This one was all geared towards her.

The bowling alley had a specific row of different colored balls specific to her weight preference, along with bowling shoes in her size on one shelf.

The skating rink had skating outfits and skates in her size waiting for her in an alcove outfitted with everything she needed to skate.

There was also a Jason&Jared clothing boutique store but there was nothing for sale in there. It was basically a huge wardrobe with things that were all her size and all designed specifically for her.

"Take a look at this. We designed a new perfume for you!" Jason pulled out a small round glass bottle with a pump spray.

"Our producers begged us to release it to the general public, but we flat out refused. No one else is allowed to use this scent except for you."

"Ooooh!!!" Candace laughed. "Exclusive perfume!"

"Only for our wife." Jared announced with pride.

Without wasting a beat, they took her onto the bedroom suites located on the upper decks of the ship.

There were seven palatial suites that surrounded a much larger suite for Candace.

Each Prince's suite of rooms consisted of a bedroom equipped with king bed with an adjoining bath room with double showers and a hot tub.

There was a living room parlor with a wet bar on one end to make all the various mixed drinks that the Princes liked so much. The seating arrangements consisted of various couches and wing chairs arranged in clusters.

There was also a dining room with spaces for ten people, just in case nobody wanted to go to the dining hall. And last but not least, there was a comfortable office so each of them could work if they needed to while she visited them.

Her set of suites was similar to each of theirs but designed in a softer and more feminine manner. Her bed was round instead of the large king-shaped square, and the flokati rugs underfoot were cream-colored and thick piled.

On the walls were images of Candace in all her Avgo Events. Some were ethereal and graceful, as the one where she made the ballet jump on the sky walk.

Others were of her, sweaty and battered from the roughness at the beast hunt. One in particular had her holding onto a bloody snake head. From what she remembered, the actual head was still in the library inside Dante's Moon.

There was also a fairly large image of a badly injured Leonardo carrying her in his arms. Both of them wore the ragged bloody royal gold outfits of the Erenveil Empire and looking as if they had barely escaped assassination.

Another one was of Slate, flying into the Coliseum with her in tow and dropping her off in front of a live audience.

As she walked through her suite, looking at all the images on the walls, Candace could barely hold onto her tears.

"Oh wow…this is all so overwhelming!!!" She gasped as she met each of her husbands' eyes. "Thank you all for this amazingly generous gift."

She took a deep breath and steeled herself. "I don't know how to thank each of you, my amazing wonderful husbands."

"What is there to thank?" Slate laughed. "We're just providing a comfortable and safe home for our wife so you will never feel as if you are homeless."

"That's right," Dante agreed. "And besides, what the hell are we going to do with all the money we make if we can't spend it on our wife and our soon-to-be-born child?"

Dante began rubbing her flat belly.

Candace laughed, pushing his hand away with some embarrassment. "I'm not pregnant yet."

"But you have my Avgo shard in there and it's proven that it is a living being. In my mind, you've already conceived.." Dante pressed his lips to her temple.
