The Prince and The Princess (Karmagisa)

Chapter 7: The Aftermath

In the morning, Karma woke up and realized that he did not have to leave her like the other days and he went back to sleep, pulling her closer to him. Karma was later awoken by a small gasp. He yawned and looked towards the door. Nagisa's maid was looking at him, shocked.

"What did you do to her?" the maid asked.

"Nothing. I promise. We just slept. Honestly," Karma replied.

"I see. Then I will let you wake her up."

"Then we will sleep for a little longer."

The maid nodded and left. He looked at the girl sleeping next to him and smiled. I am the luckiest guy in the world he thought to himself as he watched the girl he loved sleep peacefully. After a while, he kissed her forehead to wake her up. She stirred a little but did not wake up. He kissed her cheek, but she still did not get up. Finally, he lightly kissed her lips and her eyes fluttered open. Her blue eyes were glazed over but soon focused on him and she smiled.

"We can stay together now," she sighed happily.

"I know. I'm really happy that your maid let me wake you up," he replied.

"W-wait, she saw us sleeping?"

"Yeah? Is there a problem."

"No," she sighed and got off of the bed.

She walked towards her bathroom and shut the door. While Karma got dressed in the room, Nagisa got dressed. When she exited the bathroom in a simple light-blue floor-length dress, Karma was already dressed and sitting on the bed. He looked at her and smiled. Her hair was still messy from sleeping and she sat at a vanity table and grabbed her hairbrush. She felt a hand over her own that was holding the hairbrush. Karma took the brush from her and started gently brushing her hair. Once he was finished, he wrapped his arms around her neck and kissed the top of her head. They stayed like that for a while before leaving the room to get breakfast. It seemed like everyone was waiting for them to get to the dining room. He had forgotten that the servants would not serve breakfast until everyone was seated. When they opened the doors everyone inside turned to look at them with laughing, angered, annoyed, or questioning eyes. Nagisa giggled as Karma led her to her chair and pushed it in for her and Karma sat next to her. The servants then served breakfast to everyone.

"So, what took you guys so long?" Rio asked.

"It took me a while to get Nagisa up. She just wouldn't wake up. Once she woke up, we got dressed and I helped Nagisa get ready for the day," Karma explained.

"It wasn't as juicy as I thought it would be," Rio sighed in mock disappointment.

"What did you expect, Rio. Even if they did do anything they wouldn't tell us anyway. It would make them look bad if they said anything," Kaede said.

They finished breakfast and all of the guests besides Karma, Rio and Kaede left. Once everyone was gone, he took her to the village. The children were playing with Nagisa and took the opportunity to go to the blacksmith. When he walked into the building, the owner greeted him.

"What can I do fer ya?" he asked.

"I just wanted to see if you could help me design something," Karma said.

"I can try. What were ya thinkn'?"

"I wanted to make two rings."

"I see. I think I can help ya."

Nagisa was playing with Sakura and the village children when Karma came up to her. He had disappeared a few hours ago, but she thought nothing of it. When he returned she ran and hugged him. He hugged her back then kissed her on the cheek. Her hair had been braided and had flowers in it. She took one of the flowers out of her hair and put it in his pocket. He smiled and took her hand and they returned to the palace.
