Authors Note: I am honestly disappointed with last chapter except for the end with Olivia. So this is where stuff actually start happening and this is when Riku realized who he is and who he has to be now.
2 Months Later
The Shepherds have been coming over to the castle for the past two months to see Riku again today he was greeted by 3 good friends from Plegia. And they were sitting in the Shepherd's Garrison dining area.
"So how have you three been doing this past year" Riku asked.
"Oh ya know working on brand new hexes nyah nyah nyah" Henry said in his usual too happy tone.
"Yes we are currently working on a hex that will remove someone's ability to speak, I have more than enough annoying people to use it hehheh" Tharja said in her usual unimpressed home.
Riku laughed and asked "I bet Virion is one of them isn't he."
Tharja growled at the mention of him "You still know so well Riku, whenever I see him he still tries to flirt with me even though I'm married."
Riku laughed at the thought of Virion not being able to speak. But he is frightened as he imagines him on his knees pleading while Tharja just laughs at his suffering. He had somehow forgot how scary Tharja can be.
Noire who has been sitting quietly in the corner the whole decides to speak up and asks "Um, Riku i-i-i have a question. When will you come be king."
Riku was shocked "King! Where did that come from Noire."
Henry tilts his head and says "What do you mean, don't you remember that Validar was king. That makes you the current king of Plegia nyah hah."
"Oh I completely forgot I've tried to push everything about Grima in the past, and I never really thought About." Riku admitted.
"Well Riku you do need to come back Plegia is a complete mess without a ruler it's basically civil war between different factions" Tharja said with a serious look on her face.
"Why should I care Plegia except for you 3, all Plegia has ever given is pain and death" Riku said coldy
The three other Plegians were shocked
They thought for sure he would help.
"Huh but I thought you would be happy to help us." Henry said a more confused look on his face than his usual happy.
"No! I refuse I hate Plegia and you want me to leave everything change Olivia's and my life to become king of a country i hate. No way!" Riku said raising his voice.
Before Tharja or Henry could say anything it was Noire who responded to that.
"INSOLENCE! How dare betray us we all know Grima killed almost everyone in Plegia! Do realize that almost everyone left are orphaned children!" Noire screamed.
Riku's eyes widened but before he could try and defend himself ,Noire continued with tears in her eyes now.
"You know what all the remains powerful lords do! They make them fight and kill each other for them!" Noire yelled while crying.
"What!" Riku couldn't believe this why would anyone do that to children.
Noire returned back to her "normal" self and told him "Please don't let all those kids lose their childhoods like we did."
Riku winced and knew she was guilt tripping him but she was right.
"I need some time to think about it, Noire, Morgan is in the room next to mine so if you want see her come with me." Riku said while look towards the ceiling eyes closed as he thought.
"Okay." Noire squeaked.
Noire looked flustered and her parents Riku noticed but chose not to say anything.
Henry decided that he was gonna go see Ricken again, while Nowi showed up took Tharja away for something (she only agreed to get dragon scales), and Riku and Noire walked together.
"So how is it going with Morgan" Riku asked with a grin.
"W-what do you mean!" Noire panicked
"What do you think" Riku said raising an eyebrow
"Um our friendship?" Noire nervously answered
"Of course what else would it be" Riku said trying to not start laughing.
Noire say this and got mad realizing he was just pushing her buttons.
"INSOLENCE! How dare you accuse me for things I haven't done! BLOOD AND THUNDER!" Noire yelled at him.
Riku realizing he went to far ram for his life towards Morgan's room. Only 4 people could calm Noire down and the closest one is his daughter. He saw Morgan talking with her mother outside their room and yelled out to them.
"Morgan I need back up!" Riku pleaded
"BLOOD AND THUNDER! Don't use my friend against me!" She yelled as she might have gotten even madder.
Morgan got between them. And said "Ok let's calm down"
"GRR! He insinuated that we have a intimate relationship." Noire had seemingly calmed down a bit with Morgan's presence.
"What dad I'm flattered you thought I'm that good. But Noire and I aren't a thing." Morgan said with a big smirk on her face.
"First of all I didn't say anything about you two having sex, second of all Noire you know I like to push people's buttons why are you so serious" Riku said.
"B-but you-" Noire began but Morgan cut her off.
"Okay Noire that's enough besides we have a bunch of stuff to catch up on" Morgan said before taking Noire into her room with Noire mumbling behind her.
Riku turned to see his wife giggling " What's so funny." he sarcasticly remarked.
"Well this is what you get with messing with people all the time." Use said smiling.
"Well since when did you get so much more confident." Riku asked
"When you gave me my ring, i was scared that you never feel the same way about me." Oliva admitted blushing.
Riku sighed and realized he still needed to talk about his heritage. "Olivia we need to talk about something." Riku said in a soft voice "Let's talk in the room."
Olivia walked into their room confused. "What's wrong" she asked.
"It's who I am and I didn't realise it until earlier, I am the King of Plegia, since Validar was the previous one." Riku said this with uncertainty he was thinking with who his father was should he be king.
"Oh Riku I didn't realise that either so, um, what are you going to do?" Oliva was very concerned he looked sad talking about and she didn't know why anyone who found out they were going to be king would have been ecstatic.
"Olivia no matter how much I hate Plegia the people are suffering, Chrom and the Ylisse military aren't helping due to mostly racism. They need a leader and that leader is me." Riku looked into her eyes.
"Oliva i won't force you to come with me if you don't want too. It will be a huge change we will be royalty and have an entire civilization on our shoulders."
Olivia scared at him and without thinking says "I will always be with you no matter what path you choose."
Riku smiled and simply said "I love you"
With Olivia saying the same. And she realized that Inigo and Morgan will be royalty now "Oh we have too go tell Morgan!" Olivia was excited now, her family would be royalty and they never have to worry about not having enough food or money she could only see life getting easier.
"Well then we should go tell her." Riku was still having second thoughts did he really want to be king.
They walked to the door and opened it to see Noire asleep in Morgan's lap. Morgan saw her parents and blushed as she quickly woke up Noire to get of her. As Noire woke up and saw where she was she immediately began blushing as well.
Riku and Olivia laughed and Riku asked "What conversation were we having before."
2 Days Later
At the outskirts of Ylisstol Riku, Oliva, Morgan, and baby Inigo were in a carriage saying their goodbyes to their friends before leaving.
Chrom reached out with a smile and shook Riku's hand before saying "Good luck King of Plegia."
"Well I'll see you at political gatherings Sir Exalt." Riku sarcastically remarked.
Maribelle with proud look on her face told Olivia "O Olivia darling I'm so proud of it feels like yesterday when you were still a little mouse and look at you now going to Queen of a nation."
Maribelle began crying and Olivia started to as well getting out to hug her and says "Maribelle you have been one of my best friends for awhile I know I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you."
Riku and Chrom look at the two oldly. Then Riku hugged Lissa and Sully and then the family of four left.
Plegia capital
When they reached the capital it was very similar to when they were there before but it was so much more quiet. As they traveled toward the castle people began to notice them and when one lady asked who they are there was a cry of joy from everybody that heard and the news of their new leader arriving traveled around.
In the castle they found Tharja, Henry, and Noire waiting for them. Riku got out of the carriage first. "Hey guys I thought you would have told the populace of arrival by now?" he asked.
"Well we planned to announce publicly here, but I guess you already told them" Tharja remarked looking slightly I'm pleased.
Then they saw a bunch of kids running up to them asking "Is it true are really here to become our King?"
Riku answered yes and they jumped for talking about how they were saved from there abusive lords.
He frowned as he realized he was gonna have to deal with these corrupt lords now. They probably have more power and money than he did now. He needs a plan for that. He turned toward the castle and looked his new home.
It wasn't great. It was not welcoming with a very ominous look to it. And he could see a bunch of Grima statues around so he was gonna have to get those removed as well. He sighed, they have a lot of work to do fix this mess.
His family agreed little Inigo was scared and was hiding in Olivia's breast. Olivia looked at the place with hatred mostly from when Morgan got and arrow through the stomach when they made their escape from this place. Morgan did as well for the same reasons.
Riku looked at this place with shame. This was where his father planned out his evil scenes and where he gave the fire emblem to Validar.
"Well let's see our new home" Riku said as he motioned for his family to follow him.
They walked towards the castle to start their new life.
