Violet Kingdom

~*~

A few moons after their weddings...

"You have raised him well." Shinka smiled up at her husband.

"Not just me, both of us. We have raised him well. He would not have become the strong young man he is without his mother's admonishing and keen eye. You have raised him right. He is almost ready for the position of king of the Green kingdom." Violet appreciated his wife.

"You see Violet, at first I thought this would be hard..."

"What would be hard?"

"Raising my boy with the knowledge that I will have to let him go some day." Violet listened on carefully, "I think it has something to do with the fact that my father prepared me earlier for this."

"I have a strong urge that it has more to do with responsibility and your position as the eldest daughter to the Green family. It is engrained in you to do the right thing."

"You are right. I know Craven will make a wise king." She watched the twenty-year-old fencing off his opponent as he pinned him to the ground in mortal combat. His father had been the one to train him how to fight. He had done a great job.

She, as the mother had focused on indoctrinating him in the ways of the Green kingdom. She told him tales of his grandfather, Pink-White and his great grandparents, Terese and Bingy-White.

"He is ready."

"Yes, he is." She replied forlornly.

"It will take some getting used to not having him around but we shall manage."

"I know. For the love of my father and my home, we shall take on this responsibility together."

"Together." Her husband affirmed.

"I have come to think of the Violet kingdom as my second home. I feel at peace here, mostly here with you."

"You are my home Shinka. You are it for me."

"I love you."

"I love you too." Violet held her hand and brought her knuckles to his lips and kissed them.

"Dad, did you see what I did there?" Their son, Craven called out.

"I sure did. You did a jolly good thing. I am so proud of you."

Shinka watched the two talk and thought to herself, he will do fine. He is a strong boy. I am proud of him.

"Alright boys, let's go get you cleaned up Craven Violet. It is almost time for dinner."

"Mom..." he panted from the exertion, "I still want to do some more fighting. I promise just one more fight and I will be done."

"What did we say about a good gentleman?"

"A good gentleman knows how to create boundaries and time limits on himself." He bowed his head in defeat.

Shinka tousled his already messy hair and said, "Now that is a good boy. Let's go now, shall we?"

"Okay."

His father said nothing the whole time when it came to managing discipline and such related matters, he let his wife take it into her hands. She was good at it. Boys will be boys.

Taking a shower will never be something they jump so easily to. Shinka pushed for what she wanted and she always got it. Always. He smiled.

You heard the woman. There is no backing out of this one champ. He looked at his son's defeated expression and shook his head.
