Eclipse (Connected As One) AkashixOC

Chapter 38

Akashi and Aya went to Princess Hoshino's room, and as they entered, Aya's eyes widened seeing her mother, sitting beside her father, who was still in state of deep sleep.

"Aya...san..." Queen Seira called her in low hoarse voice, gesturing her to come forward.

Aya immediately ran towards her, crying as she hugged her

"Mom... it's really you. It's really you"

"Aya-san... I'm sorry, I'm sorry" Queen Seira cried, apologizing repeatedly

Aya moved back and laughed holding her mother's hands "mom, why are you apologizing?"

"Because my dear, you were still young when I left you. I told you everything and you were still a little kid that time. Then I am sure it was hard to adjust knowing all of them, learning how to come here-"

"Mom..." Aya stopped her and confusedly asked "you told me everything? Learning to come here?"

"Ah, long story short" Princess Hoshino interrupted them "Mother, Aya-sama arrived here without getting her pendant back"

Queen Seira looked at Aya and she was confused, lost, and wanting to know what happened

"Let's talk about that later. For now, let's wake father" Prince Sora sat on the other side of King Shinya. Princess Hoshino followed and sat down next to him.

Aya sat next to her mother then hold her hand. She smiled to her mother, but then felt her mother trembling.

"Mom, why are you getting nervous?" Aya queried worriedly

"I haven't seen all of you for how many years. I am excited, and nervous at the same time" Queen Seira breath out to calm herself but still she was trembling.

Aya hugged her mom and patted her back to calm her down "it will be okay. At least now, we know that you are alive, dad is alive." She moved back then hold her hands again "once dad wakes up, take your time to catch up with each other."

"With Aya-san, Sora-san, and Hoshino-san, right?"

"You can with Hoshino-nee, but for me and Sora-nii, we have things we need to take care of with Seijurou"

Queen Seira's eyes widened and she knew well what she was talking about. She turned towards Akashi, who was standing next to Hisame, and her worried expression could be seen

"Mom, don't worry about us. Once everything is over, we can take our time and catch up as well. Anyways, Dad is waiting for us to wake him up."

Queen Seira nodded and without any further ado, she held King Shinya's hand and not long after, he was engulfed in bright light. They could tell the drastic changes on his complexion.

After a few minutes, King Shinya's finger moved. His eyes slowly opened, and immediately his gaze landed to Queen Seira. A smile flashed on his face.

"Welcome back, King Shinya" Queen Seira held his hand tightly, tearing up with their reunion

"Let him for now, I am sure father will understand the situation he is in" Prince Sora chuckled looking at king Shinya "right, father?"

Aya was staring at her father as it was her first time officially seeing him in person. She could see that she indeed got his hair colour, and the shape form of his face was like hers. She knew well, that she was indeed a split image of him with her mother's eyes.

King Shinya then landed his gaze to Aya. He shifted his eyes to Princess Hoshino, then to Aya again. They could see his eyes widening, wanting to say something, but only a hoarse voice came out. Prince Sora immediately asked Yura to get warm water for king Shinya, also asking her to prepare soups for the king and queen.
