Hi, m new. hope you like the story you gonna read. i don't own the anime! happy reading!
"Today I'll ask her..... I don't want to force her but I do hope that she'll acept my proposal. I have waited long enough" thought Ryuuki as he made his way towards Shuurei's room. Shuurei on the other hand was preparing herself for Ryuuki's arrival- the jasmine tea was ready, the pillows set, her ehru lay on a chair, today her hair was tied with the hairpin that Ryuuki gave to her in the begining, "I did go through a lot of trouble to get this back" she smiled alightly as she spoke, "its been 3years now since I became the governor of Sa province, tonight, I'll tell him what I want"
"Shuurei, I have arrived, may I enter?" "Please come in, the door is open." Taking a deep breath, Ryuuki entered her quarters to find her smiling, her hair, she wore the hairpin he gave her, her face was glowing, so beautiful she looked. Mesmerized, Ryuuki subconsciously touched her cheek, "Shuurei...... you look very beautiful, today and everyday. I want to live with this next face next to me" he gently kissed her cheek after he spoke. She blushed a bit, "Ryuuki...." He straightened up, "Yes, I know... which story will you play to me to-night?" She led him to her bed and sat him down "Have some tea while I play you the ehru"
Shuurei told the story of the rose-princess her fingers deftly playing the ehru, Ryuuki couldn't take his eyes of her, she made him excited and calm at the same time. As she finished her story and was getting up to put back her ehru, Ryuuki grabbed her around her waist, his face buried in Shuurei's shoulder. "Oh, Ryuuki, what is the matter? Are you scared or something?" her brow came together in concern as she hugged the Emperor. "Shuurei..... Shuurei..... I did need to ask you something.......... I have waited long, though I know what your answer might be but I want to give it a try....... Shuurei... will you please marry me? I don't want anyone else, if you refuse I shall be forced to wed someone else.........."
"Ryuuki....." Shuurei began smiling, "my Ryuuki... yes, I'll marry you.... After three years I have finally understood what I want, you, Ryuuki. I want you. I was going to tell you that I wished to resign as as the governor of Sa province and be here at your side..." Ryuuki couldn't believe his ears! She said yes! Tears of happines rolled down his cheeks, he raised his face to look at Shuurei who was smiling and had tears of joy. Cupping her face Ryuuki kissed her with all the passion he could muster, she put her arms around his neck and returned with equal passion. With gentle hands Ryuuki laid her on the bed, kissing her goodnight he laid down to sleep. With her in his arms, both slept a peaceful warm sleep......
