Ryo:

Yuka looked extremely beautiful. All I wanted to do was take her back to our room and-

I cleared my throat and shook the thoughts away, glancing at Yuka guiltily.

She raised an eyebrow at me with a slight smile touching her lips. She entwined her fingers with mine and I felt them trembling against mine.

I gave her hand a gentle squeeze and smiled reassuringly at her.

She smiled back at me with a light blush on her cheeks.

I chuckled and kissed her deeply in front of the crowd that was gathering before us, causing her blush to deepen.

Raido coughed to get our attention and I smiled guiltily at him, rubbing the back of my neck.

Yuka hid her face in my shoulder as the man who would be crowing us appeared.

I know Raido and Suon told me who he was at one point but in all the chaos it was lost.

He wore a large unflattering hat on his head and long blue and purple robes.

He nodded to us and summoned a servant forward that held a large plush pillow with two exquisite crowns laying gently on top.

One was a beautiful delicate silver tiara with blue stones. It was obvious that one was meant for the feminine queen and by the ecstatic and awed look on Yuka's face, she knew too.

I didn't have the heart to tell her that was my mothers.

I looked over at the other and my heart lurched as memories of my father popped up in my head.

I pushed the memories but let one remain in my head.

~Flashback~

"Father!" I called happily as I spotted my father standing in the gardens.

He turned and looked at me sadly.

"Hello, Ryoday." He greeted as I ran up to him.

"Father, why are upset?" I asked him, worried for him.

"Ryo, I have to go away and fight." He said sadly. "The war has hit home, and to protect you, Suon, Raido, and your mother, I must go and fight."

I looked up at him with wide, confused eyes.

"Ryo, one day you will be queen just like your mother. I need you to promise me something." He said suddenly.

"Promise me that you take good care of your people, as if they too, are a part of your mother. It better to rule with a soft hand, rather than an iron fist. Be hard when you must, but be gentle when you can. If you respect them, they will respect you. Promise me you will rule by that, Ryo." He said to me, his eyes pleading.

I nodded slowly at him.

~Flashback End~

I promise father...

I watched with a proud smile as Yuka's crown was placed on her head carefully.

She smiled widely at me as my fathers crown was slowly placed upon my head.

The crown was silver as well, and had intricate carved designs in the metal.

The familiar weight was placed on my head and I smiled sadly.

The robed man turned around to address the people as Yuka and I stood side by side, overlooking them.

"I present, Queen's Ryoday and Yuka Kuran of Terethia."

I saw Yuka straighten up as her name was called and I smiled to the people as they cheered for us.

I smiled even wider as I noticed Dreyar and King Tashimora among them. Tashimora was obviously undercover since he wore a cloak and peasant clothing, but pride was burning in his eyes as he gazed upon his daughter.

Dreyar nodded to me in acknowlegment and I did the same, but nonetheless, I was happy to see him despite the fact that I blame him for Yuka being pregnant.

I should probably tell him he can come home now...

I stumbled suddenly as the gardens shook and loud boom sounded close by, followed by crashing.

"What's going on?" Yuka yelled to me as she struggled to remain standing.

I stood shakily and saw catapults in the distance, followed by a large army.

"Looks like we're under attack. I've been wondering when they would finally make their move." I told her with a smirk.

She sighed and shook her head at me before taking Toby's hand and leading him toward the secret shelter.

Dreyar came up beside me with Tashimora as I watched the oncoming army with a grim expression.

"Looks likes the war just hit home again." I muttered.
