Battle Between Races (FWKHR Book 3)

4

" Good morning your highnesses!", The servants following Cielo and those in the dining hall greeted them while bowing. Rule number one, respect your masters, the emperor and his guardians. The group nodded politely and took their places around the table.

" Morning Cielo. Morning Takeshi.", The group said as they were served. " Good morning.", Cielo and Takeshi. After breakfast they all left together and gathered at an arch with a portal.

This was at the front of the castle that connected the bridge. Whenever the portal was not active they could walk on the bridge to and from the palace, the portal was used only when leaving the realm.

The group split up and each with their own entourage. Cielo and Takeshi appeared in front of a cafe in the bustling Italy. Their appearance was startling, the onlookers hung their mouth wide open. Cielo paid these onlookers no attention as he interlocked his and Takeshi's fingers together.

They entered the cafe together with the entourage following behind. The entire cafe was empty except for staff members and waitresses scurrying about. The tables were all set and the over all setting was classic and beautiful. This was prearranged by those who will be meeting up here today.

They booked three tables. Two for the servants and one for the couple. Upon ordering snacks and beverages for the three tables one of the maids did the tasting for the couple making sure it had no problem that will pose a threat  to their safety.

When everyone was seated Cielo checked his smart watch (he still has it) and said, " I knew they were going to be late that is why I told them half an hour before the actual time. So predictable."

Just then the door opened and in came Byakuran and his guardians. They were all formally dressed in white suits and their neck ties matched their elements.

As for Byakuran in the lead he wasn't wearing a jacket and tie like the others, instead he was wearing a white leather jacket over a white t-shirt, white leather jeans, and white boots.

Yuni his fiance who followed him came with her guardians the Arcobalenos. She was wearing a knee-length white floral dress with falling orange petals and blossoms. She was wearing a tiara with a very familiar orange crystal in the middle. It was the real sky pacifier, how she got it is only known to a few.

All the Arcobalenos were in attendance. They were following their Princess and Sky Arcobaleno. Since she was marrying Byakuran she combined their two kingdoms into one and renamed it the Millifore.

When Byakuran is crowned king she will naturally be his queen. She was the final queen for the Giglo Nero kingdom, and the last Sky Arcobaleno. After her their will be no more cursed Arcobalenos, there will only be seven individuals that will be responsible for protecting the crystals each generation.

" Cielo. Long time no see. Takeshi, same.", Byakuran sat down with Yuni. The two greeted them back. Yuni was also polite, " Nice to see you Cielo and Takeshi. Did the others not come?"
Cielo smiled easily, " I gave them a week vacation. At the end of the week I am having an event at the end of the week and you are invited. You can see them then."

Saying so he handed them a few red velvet scented envelopes with the invitations for both of their groups. Byakuran opened one and saw the card and gave a chuckle, " Congratulations. I will certainly be there. Let me take the time to exchange invitations. Yuni darling."

Yuni snapped her fingers and Reborn appeared at her side with a square wooden box. She placed it on the table so that the two could unlock it themselves. On Cielo's prompt Takeshi lifted the lid of the box and sitting in it was a crest that was created from a substance that looked like red ruby. It was the new crest that was designed for the new Millifore kingdom.

" This is the token to attend our wedding since we already held the engagement banquet. It is meant for Cielo and any amount of persons you choose including your guardians.", Yuni explained.

" We will be present, it so happens that out wedding is also after the war, but we haven't chosen a date yet. When the time comes you will naturally be notified.", Cielo accepted the invitation closing the lid of the box.

" Now that is out of the way, we should discuss the approaching great war and go over our plans.", Cielo disposed of his cordial smile and became serious.

The others followed, " Agreed!"

Flashback how Yuni became the Sky Arcobaleno...

Late one night about half year after the world knew that Cielo became the emperor of a secret realm in the center of the universe he was spotted outside. He first showed up in front of Aria the Queen of Giglo Nero kingdom and Luce's daughter.

Aria was sitting on her balcony staring at the moon and no one else was in sight. She seemed to be in thought but she was actually waiting for the one who she had seen in her dreams. She didn't have to wait for long.

A portal opened and a person stepped out. Under the moonlight his white hair glowed and his white suit made him look like an eternal celestial being with beauty that could not be compared. His face was ever so charming and those narrowed blue eyes viewed the world, but only a few could get into his sight.

After the portal closed he sat down in the empty recliner and watched the moon with her in silence. After a while he chose to break the silence, " I am not a nice person and I don't fancy humans, but I know how to repay a saving grace and how to keep a promise."

" Your mother saved my life at the cost of hers and we both have no regrets. She wanted a son like me but I can't give her that, what I can give is a peaceful life for her descendants."

Here he placed a small treasure chest on the table.

" From now on there is no need to sacrifice the lives of the innocent. Saving your life from that Demoness poison in addition to saving your daughter from this curse is my way to thank your mother for saving me back then. She was a kind lady and it was my pleasure to meet her."

Cielo got up gave a slight bow and disappeared with the word, "Goodbye."

Aria who hadn't spoken a word since his entrance to exit sighted and opened the chest. What laid inside on a cushion was a beautiful Tiara fit for a Queen with an orange Crystal in the middle. There was also a note.

The note said;

From henceforth the curse of the Arcobalenos is broken.

Tears ran down her cheek without her wiping them. They were her tears of joy, someone finally answered her prayer, and that person was that child that was mentioned in her mother's last letter. She wished to meet him after reading it back then and now he finally proved that her mother was never wrong to call him her son.
