The Devils and the captured Princess

Rude Awakening

Big Mom was getting very impatient and decided to make a move. Since she had an alliance with  Germa she thought  of kidnappings  three of the brother so they won't interfere with her plans. Sooner or later Niji, Sanji, and Yonji went missing their father posted a rewards 990 billion zeni for any information. With no luck the brothers were no where to be found. Judge started to get really angry and blamed most of his problems on I/C. Even though she knew she had nothing to do with it she also felt a guilty. Ichiji insured her that they will eventually turn up. Luckily they did but not in a way that they wanted it to be. The three brothers were found dead with multiple stab wounds with a bullet going through their chest striking their hearts easily killing them. When I/C heard about this she fainted and wouldn't wake up till days later. She turned completely off ignoring everyone and refusing to eat or drink anything after the devastating news. On the other hand Judge looked off like he was some kind of mad man that just out of prison. After days past by Judge was found dead with a gun in his hands with a bullet wound through the chest once again. Ichiji was now the rightful king to the Germa domain he feared for I/C since she was the only precious person he wanted to protect. I/C eased up a little but still shaken up. She worried about Reiju's well being if she were to die as well she would never forgive herself. Her worries were also on Ichiji now that the other kingdoms know about the kings death they might try to attack to gain more power. But Ichiji insisted that will never happen as long as he is on the throne with I/C by his side. One day when I/C woke up she hadn't seen Ichiji on the throne like he would be regularly. So she checked in his bedroom but he wasn't there so she checked his office. He was sound asleep with papers everywhere on him. She got a blackest so she could cover him instead of making him feel comfortable he woke up looking very tired. He grabbed her by her arms and made her sit in his lap while laying his head on her chest.

I/C: Umm Ichiji do you ...

Ichiji: Shhhh please just stay like this for a while then I will let you go

I/C: Ichiji you can't stay like this your health is...

Ichiji: Don't worry about it 

I/C: Common you should go to your room and sleep their where you will be comfortable 

Ichiji: But I am comfortable with you here 

I/C: I see but seriously Ichiji get up 

Ichiji: No 

I/C: (Sigh) Fine 

After she agreed Ichiji fell into a deep sleep not waking up from any type of noise that I/C made. While he was sleeping I/C finished some of the paper work so Ichiji won't have to work as hard. Four and a half hours have past Ichiji finally woke up in his chest where she also fell asleep he couldn't help but stare. He picked her up bridal style and have her sleep on the couch while he continues filling out paper work. Time past by and I/C woke up on the catch feeling satisfied after getting a nice sleep. Now the office was completely empty of any paperwork though Ichiji was nowhere to be found so she had to explore once again. She looked in every room of the palace no luck until she heard Reiju's voice with a man that she knew. In Reiju's room was Ichiji and having a small chat. I/C didn't want to interrupt  but she wanted to know what they were saying. 

Reiju: It's been quite a while since we talked 

Ichiji: Yeah 

Reiju : I can tell that something is bothering and it is taking a physical toll to you health 

Ichiji: And how do you know  that 

Reiju: Have yiu not seen youself your not getting any rest or eating as well as drinking your hair is losing its color so don't turn out like me you need to live or else I/C would be all alone without you 

Ichiji: Shut up 

Reiju: For what telling you the truth look man up 

Ichiji: Tsk easy for you to say anyway I'll see you later 

Reiju Alright 

Once Ichiji was about to open the door I/C panicked and ran towards the cleaning closet. He pasted by while I/C was struggling to keep everything in place in the closet. When there was no sight of Ichiji I/C walked out and then everything in the closet fell out making a lot of noise. The noise was so loud that Reiju ran outside to see what is happening. Reiju smiled and didn't ask anything  she just helped I/C out. After everything was put back in place Reiju made I/C go to her room to have a small talk just to see how she was doing. 

Reiju: How have you been 

I/C: Shaken up 

Reiju: I know what you mean especially about Niji,Sanji and Yonji it was very traumatizing 

I/C: (Starts crying) Im sorry it's just that I feel very bad for not being able to help them

Reiju: Don't worry your not the only one feeling that way Ichiji and me are feeling the same way you are so don't blame yourself 

I/C: Ok and Reiju how is your health 

Reiju: Im good thanks to you but it also has taken a mental toll to my health but for now I'm doing great

I/C: Alright are you hungry 

Reiju: Oh thank you for always thinking about me but no thank you I ate before 

I/C: I see then do you feel uncomfortable anywhere I can help you if you ever need anything 

Reiju: No not for now I/C I think your the one that needs to relax

I/C: Really why do you say that 

Reiju: Your growing a few strains of white hair which mean you have been stressing about something 

The two talked for a while until a servant called for I/C to see a surprise visitor.
