A/N: Well this is my story I hope you like it!
El Agroupción de Nocivo
"How couldn't you tell me this Milliardo?" asked Relena. Her brother, his wife, Lucretia, and her were sitting in one of the palaces private living rooms.
"I didn't know if you wanted to know the truth," said Milliardo simply.
"I could understand you keeping something not as important such as a new threat to peace from me, but this? How could you not tell me?" Relena stood up and walked over to one of the huge windows over looking the gardens, the city and the water beyond that.
How could he not tell me our mother is alive? she thought.
A few minutes before, Milliardo had called Relena down from her room to tell her that their mother had been found. During the siege on the Sanq Kingdom years before Cecilia Peacecraft, their mom, Milliardo and Relena had escaped the slaying of the royal family by the Alliance, Romafeller Foundation and Oz only to be captured by another group against the pacifistic ideals of the Sanq Kingdom. This group called themselves El Agroupción de Nocivo. They were each kept in separate areas while being transported to a secret base. Relena was rescued by the Darlians one night when a tree in the forest they were staying in got struck by lightning and caused the camp to be set on fire. Milliardo had escaped so that he could join Oz in a quest for revenge. He took the name of a character in a book he had been reading before the siege. That was of course, Zechs Marquis, the Lightning Count. Queen Peacecraft was not saved and did not escape the camp. Many thought her dead but actually she was still captured and was taken to the base. The preventers had found the base. They had gotten rid of the few guards and found Mrs. Peacecraft. Now she was coming back to the Sanq Kingdom.
Relena suddenly realized that her brother was speaking to her.
"… and you'll still be Queen of the Sanq Kingdom. Considering that mom married into the Peacecraft family, she can't actually rule the kingdom. However, she can help you rule."
"When is she coming here?" asked Relena.
"Today at four o'clock. The press, most of the Preventers, the rulers of other countries and the colonies' governors will all be present. The whole world and the colonies will be watching. I called the press, and the governors of the colonies as soon as I heard the news at three o'clock this morning. Of course, many other people will be here as well-"
"Wait a minute! You told a bunch of people you hardly even know and the press before you told me and your sister?" said an obviously angry Lucretia.
"Well, you see they have to fly in. You're already here so I figured that I'd better call them first so that they can get here on time. You know how long it takes to get here even from the Washington DC, Lucy."
"That's no excuse! We're your family! Now I don't know what to wear or what to say. I've heard horror stories from my friends from when they met their in-laws! Plus, I only have-" she glanced at the grandfather clock in the room. "Less than 1 hour! I gotta hurry!" With that she literally ran out of the room.
"Well I'd better get something ready for the press. I don't want them to ruin the lawn like they did last time." Then he left, too. Relena watched them go. After about half a minute, she sighed and headed up to her room. It was going to be weird having a mom again. Mrs. Darlian had died a little less than a year ago, only two months after the Mariameia crisis had been solved and the Barton Foundation dissolved.
ONE WEEK LATER…
Relena, Lucretia and Milliardo were sitting in the same living room as they had been a week before. Mrs. Peacecraft was still asleep.
"I can't believe I'm gonna be an aunt, Lucy!" said Relena happily.
"You better believe it Ria," said Lucy then she glanced at Milliardo. "Look at him! He's all calm now but you should have seen him when I told him the news. He almost fainted!" Both girls laughed.
Simultaneously, Paegon and Mrs. Peacecraft entered the room. Mrs. Peacecraft sat next to Relena.
"Excuse me," began Paegon, "The mail has arrived." He handed everyone his or her letters. After he finished he said. "I put the letters form the press and the other junk mail in the drawing room for you to read when have a chance."
"Thank you Paegon," they said. And they began to read their mail. Relena opened her first letter which was addressed from Preventers HQ and gasped.
"What is it, Ria?" Lucy asked.
"It's from Heero! He says that him and the other former Gundam Pilots and their girlfriends are going to see a movie and out to dinner and he wants to know if I want to come, too."
Milliardo raised an eyebrow. "That sounds like a date to me." he said.
"Oh dear!" said Mrs. Peacecraft as she finished her letter.
"What is it Mom?" asked Relena.
"This letter is from King Enrique of Castillia," she paused, uncertain of how to proceed."
"Well what did he want?" asked Lucy.
"Well you see, after Relena was born, my husband and I were advised by our counselors to betroth all our daughters to other kingdoms so that we would gain more strength. The Alliance, Oz and Romafeller couldn't invade all the kingdoms at once then. Well, you see Rela, we betrothed you to King Enrique's son, Jeff, or as he is more commonly known as Prince Rodrigo. I thought that with all that's happened he would have forgotten but that seems not to be the case. I'm sorry Rela, but there's nothing I can do. There's a betrothal contract with no real loopholes."
"Wait a minute! You mean I have to marry some guy I don't even know and leave Sanq and-"
"You don't have to leave Sanq. Considering that your brother severed all ties to the throne, you are the only heir. Also at the death of King Enrique, you will also rule Castillia which shares our north western boarder."
"So that's it then? I have to marry this guy? When?"
"Next month. I'm really sorry sweetie. I wish I could stop the marriage but I can't."
"Can I at least go to the movies with my friends tonight?" asked Relena.
"Of course. It would be the perfect time to tell them the news."
"Well I better go call and say I'll be coming," Relena said as she ran out of the room. As soon as she got to her room, she began to cry.
