"Errr..." Jack wondered what do undead eat... He'd seen Crag eat dishes, but didn't know what they were...

"Ummmm, one moment." Jack thought while he held Emily in his arms. Her tongue slithered out and licked her mouth.

[Leslie... It seems that Emily has finished becoming a Goddess...] Jack reached out to mentally message Leslie.

[...What...?] Leslie's bland reply came back in response.

[Emily finished up, and now she's changed into a Goddess... With that, it seems that she regenerated her whole body and is now hungry. What do you eat, and can we feed her?]

[...You're going to have to back up a bit for me. When did she become a goddess, second how did she regenerate an undead body, and lastly how does a former skeleton understand what the feeling of being hungry is...?]

[I... Well, she took the Spider Goddess' soul and used it to become a goddess, as for why ghouls, I don't know actually. I take the regenerating undead body thing is part of being some god power, and lastly... I don't know... Goddess?]

[We don't have much time left before we all need to be court. I'll have my maids get something together for her quickly just to have something on her stomach. Then she can eat to fill when We get out of court.]

[Where should I go?] Jack asked.

[Take her to your dressing room. She can grab a quick bite here.] Leslie mentioned.

Jack floated out into the hallway, and then through the twists, turns, and bends on his way to his dressing room.

"We're going to the dressing room. Leslie will have her maids prepare something for you to eat. I believe it's a snack, and then after court, We can prepare more."

"Okay." Emily laughed, as she clutched onto Jack's ribs through the opening at the top of his robes.

Jack came to the front of his dressing room. The large double doors still issued forth thick white smoke from the basketball-sized gold censers. Jack approached and with his intention, the doors opened, startling the maids that were ready to open them on the other side.

Jack floated in to find Leslie, Eris, and a group of maids, along with a large table of various foods.

Seeing the table, Jack let down Emily. The latter of which rushed the table and began shoving the food into her mouth.

"What's up with all the horns on her head???" Leslie couldn't help but ask, as Emily shoveled food endlessly into her mouth.

Jack shook his head watching Emily but noticed that Emily gasped her throat!

"Emily?" Jack asked.

"What's wrong with her?" Leslie asked while tilting her head.

Emily turned while holding her throat, as her eyes teared up. Her mouth opened and closed, as food particles fell. The maids all looked to each other wondering what the Second Consort was doing.

""SHE'S CHOKING!"" Jack's and Eris' voice overlapped and yelled, as Jack pushed one of the maids out of the way that was pulling off his robe, as he got to Emily.

He turned Emily around, and with a balled fist into her belly just above her navel. He grabbed his fist with his other hand and pulled into Emily hard. Several times until Emily finally spat up what appeared to be the leg of some animal, even the hoof was still attached, as it made a clacking sound against the obsidian floor.

"Emily are you alright!" Jack spun Emily around, as he heard her gasp in air.

Emily now gasping, as she looked up with black tears on her face, "What the hell was that!?"

"Suffocation!" Jack yelled from worry.

"Suffocation!? I..." Emily finally noticed she was breathing. Even Jack did not notice when he brought her, but she had been breathing since her heart began to beat.

"Why the hell does a Zombie need to breathe???" Leslie finally took a few steps forward to see what was happening.

"It's because I believe she's a ghoul," Jack spoke to Leslie, as his voice filled the room, the maids dropped the articles in the hands.

Hearing the clatter, Jack looked around to see that the maids had all backed to the door, while others were following suit, even Eris climbed the wall to the ceiling as she looked over Emily with a face of horror. Jack looked to Leslie to see her back up a few steps from Emily as well.

"Did you say... Ghoul?" Leslie asked, with a frown.

"Yeah?" Jack nodded his head, as he looked back down to Emily. He reached over to the table and took a napkin, and began to wipe the food from her mouth, as Emily smiled showing her large teeth.

"Jack... Do you not remember about ghouls?" Leslie finally asked after a few pausing moments of her mouth opening and closing.

Jack looked up, with his flaming eyes crackling, "What's wrong with ghouls?"

"Jack honey, they eat undead..." Leslie finally stated.

"...Wut...?" Jack stared vacantly, and then back to Emily. Emily had just heard what Leslie spoke but didn't seem surprised.

"Ghouls were purged before the fall of the Democracy of Yand... They were aided by the newly founded Grand Tomb of Neolith." Leslie continued.

Jack looked back down to Emily, "Emily, you don't seem surprised."

"Jack... I learned a few things about what I am... Though... I didn't know I needed to breathe. I umm... I'm hungry." Emily spoke again but changed the topic as if she couldn't get her mind from her stomach.

"..." Jack's flaming eyes searched each part of Emily, and after a few moments of thought.

"If you are hungry... I have a feast for you in a few minutes, but you must promise me to never eat anything or anyone without my say so..."

Emily looked over to the maid within the room, as her eyes glazed over.

Jack shook her on her shoulders, as Emily snapped her face back to Jack.

"Promise me!" Jack said firmly.

Emily raised her hand to look at her ring, that shined with the light on one side and darkness on the other, "I remember that I do not obey... I understand and do... Right, my husband?"

"That's-That's right! Can you promise me? Can you do it?" Jack pressed on.

"I can't promise anything if I'm hungry... But I will try my best for you, my love!" Emily balled her fists and looked into Jack's flaming eyes.

Jack pulled Emily into his embrace and patted her.

"...Jack, it's time..." Leslie finally spoke.

"Eat more slowly, while I change," Jack asked Emily, as he pushed her to the table of food. Emily, of course, didn't stand on ceremony, as she began to gobble down more food, but this time it seemed she chewed, instead of shoving it down her throat.

The maids, then, approached Jack dressing him in his new garbs. These new garbs were made following the mess made of his royal robes following his fight with the Mountain Ape Hermit. These were designed by Leslie, and hand made by the citizens of Saigunrai.

Two maids brought over the front chest piece, and two more brought the back chest piece. They joined them over Jack's rib cage, which still revealed a beating Heart that was held by small gold chains. As the two pieces clanked together with a dull metallic sound. The Maids in the back, took out thick ratchets, as they placed them over the bolts that were made into the armored carapace, sinking them together. The front of the Chest piece showed two skulls. One on the right was a laughing hollowed face looking up, while the left depicted a skull looking down.

One large pauldron was placed on Jack's left shoulder, depicting a large Skeletal face, with its mouth biting a large piece of Glowstone that had been shaped into a sphere. On the top of the Puldron were many candles that were lit, and it seemed that the air circulating within the room was unable to put them out.

This pauldron was fastened to a robe that covered Half of Jack's chest and wrapped around his waist and around his back. Upon Jack's head, a crown was forged and placed on top. This crown held seven candles and showed that each candle was a third burned down, as the wax collected on the rim of the crown. As the candles melted away the wax, they revealed the spikes within...

Both of Jack's hands were covered in Dark metallic gauntlets, featuring the icons of the God-King of Deagoth, and the triple cross of the Church of the God-King.

Jack stepped into his two new dark iron boots, as he floated over to the mirror.

"Does it please you, honey?" Leslie cooed, as she came close to Jack, as she looked over her shoulder to spy on Emily, who was still gorging herself.

"Yes. This pleases me, greatly... Are you ready?"

"Yes."

"Is Emily ready?" Jack continued.

"Her clothes are fine... But she might need to clean up her face... and apply some light make up..."

"Let's do that then, she will sit with Us."

Eris who had been quiet this entire time came forward... "Do you... Do you want me to come as well?"

Jack reached out with his iron gauntlet, and gently rubbed Eris' head.

"Of course."

A few minutes later, Leslie spoke, as she and her maids revealed the dolled Emily, "We're ready."

"Again, it must come time, to remind the masses they're place, and those that... Defy me."

Jack walked to the Holy entrance that led to his Court Room followed by Leslie, Emily, and Eris, as he held out his right hand, he condensed his Femur Ferula from the Light, as he slammed it on the floor.

Clank...
