A/N: I read on the wiki that Yulia married a guy called Freyr Albert, but seeing as he probably isn't mentioned anywhere other than being her husband (and obviously a father to her children), I just made up bits and pieces about him.

Then again, I do that with everything, so meh.

Disclaimer: I don't own it, unfortunately :(

As the two rulers finished signing the treaty, they shook hands, turning to their respective groups. The King walked towards Suzanne, and she steeled herself; she had been expecting him to tell her that she would be marrying Peony or one of the Emperor's other sons for some time now.

"What's wrong?" asked Yulia, noticing how tense she was.

Suzanne glanced at her, then gave a small smile, shaking her head. "Nothing. I'm fine," she murmured, then turned as her father stopped infront of her.

"Well, that took a long time, but I believe we are all ready to head back to the surface. Miss Jue, if you would?"

"Of course, Your Majesty," she said, and the others followed as she went back to the waterfall. When they were all stood in it, she pressed a hand against the water, and instantly they went shooting up.

Lorelei was boredly waiting for them when they arrived. Several of the group stumbled, a few falling again, while Yulia calmly stood and walked over to him.

Suzanne stepped out of the waterfall with her father and Ingobert. The three of them were silent for a few minutes, then Suzanne cleared her throat.

"Peony is rather nice," she said tentatively.

"He's certainly an interesting gambler," Ingobert muttered. The two of them had spent most of their time getting to know each other better, so that this type of thing never happened again when they were the rulers.

"Mmm...It's a little odd he has so many rappigs for pets," their father muttered, rubbing his beard.

Suzanne gazed at him uncertainly, then sighed. "Father, will I have to marry him?" she asked bluntly.

He looked surprised. "Well, if you want to, I guess we could work something out..."

"No, I mean...Did you decide I should marry him for more secure relationships between our countries?"

He shook his head. "Neither of us even suggested it. Did you want to?"

"Oh, um...well, not particularly. I just thought I may have to," Suzanne said awkwardly.

Her father smiled, before giving her a brief hug. "My child, I wouldn't make you marry someone you may not want to marry. Who you choose is up to you."

Suzanne glanced up at him, then smiled, returning the hug. "Right. Thank you, Father."

With the war sorted, Suzanne unhappily said goodbye to Yulia and Lorelei. They'd all grown close in their short time together, and it was odd to see her go. However, her duty was in her kingdom, and she was loathe to leave her subjects.

The two of them headed back to Daath, deciding to finish their fonic hymn. Yulia had been working on it during the negotiations, and although they had managed to come up with eight verses, they were only drafts. The only ones which were really perfected were the first three, which meant they still had to finish the last five.

"I think I need to change this bit to Ryou Zue Rei, rather than Kuroa Zue Rei," Yulia murmured.

"Or you could keep Kuroa, and just have Ryou after it," Lorelei suggested, sitting back.

Yulia blinked, then quickly scribbled it down. "That's not a bad idea," she agreed, turning to the last bit.

Lorelei leant over, then tapped a finger. "Could do that for the sixth, too. It just focuses it a little better," he pointed out.

Yulia nodded, crossing out the bit and writing it. Lorelei sat back again, staring out of the window at the high sun, his thoughts wandering.

Yulia looked up, turning to him and frowning. "What's the matter? You've been out of it since we got back," she said. Lorelei didn't reply, and she shook her head. "Are you still thinking about Suzanne? Lorelei, she's a princess; she can't be with us forever."

"It's not just about that," he murmured, and Yulia looked confused. He glanced at her, then sighed. "Look, I may have liked her a bit, okay?"

Yulia blinked, then giggled. "You fancy Suzanne?"

"S-Shut up! See, this is why I didn't tell you in the first place!"

Yulia shook her head, hiding her smile. "So you're feeling a bit lonely for her?"

"..Not exactly. I...just kinda wish I'd told her how I feel."

Yulia smiled, then turned as there was a knock. "Come in!" she called, standing up and walking over to it.

The door was opened, and a man with dark brown hair and brown eyes stepped in, glancing around uncertainly. "Pardon my intrusion, miss...I was told this was Prophet Jue's room," he said, bowing.

"It is. How can I help you?"

"Well...You are renowned as a great healer, and my family wished me to see you about a certain...illness that I have."

"I see. Come here, I shall see if I can heal you," she said. The man entered the room, walking over to her, and she lifted a hand to his forehead. Suddenly she blinked before pulling back as if stung, her eyes wide.

Lorelei stood, crossing over. "Yulia? What's the matter?"

"I...I'm sorry. I can't heal you," Yulia whispered, tears rising.

The man sighed, nodding. "I understand. Thank you anyway," he said, turning and heading out.

Yulia sank to the floor, and Lorelei quickly joined her, checking her over. "Yulia, what's wrong?" he asked.

"That...That man...His future is so horrible. I didn't see anything too specific but he dies in such agony..All I could see was that he was lonely and cold.."

"Is it related to his disease?"

"It's not exactly a disease. He lacks fonons, and his body overcompensates by absorbing massive amounts instead. But it's slowly killing him." She shook her head, lifting a hand over her eyes. "I don't want to just leave him, Lorelei. At the very least, I want to be able to make sure he isn't lonely when he dies..."

Lorelei gazed at her, then suddenly blinked before standing. "Go with him. Try and help him, if you can."

Yulia looked up at him in confusion. "Why? Do you have an idea?"

"The land beneath the surface has less fonons, right? What if he lived down there?"

Yulia didn't look convinced. "But he'd still be alone..."

"We can work that out later. Maybe other people who don't rely much on Fonons, or people who want to live down there could also go."

"Lorelei, this is going to take a lot longer than I think you realise. You can't make a place for people to live in a few days."

"I'm not doing it by myself. I'll ask Suzanne if she can spare some people to help, and maybe Malkuth will too. And some places have too many people living there, right? Maybe they can move down there; there was a lot of space, after all."

Yulia hesitated, then lifted herself. "If we're doing this, then I'll help you."

"Fine. But you better go after that guy first, otherwise we may not find him again."

Yulia blinked before nodding, standing up and hurrying out of the room. Lorelei watched her, go then straightened and glanced around.

"This is going to take a long time."

Several months had already passed. Yulia had soon found the man, who had introduced himself as Freyr Albert. When she explained what they intended to do, he was at first surprised, then was happy enough to agree to it.

Lorelei headed to Kimlasca, asking Suzanne if anyone could help. When asking around, several people agreed to help, and soon the process began. When Yulia asked if Malkuth could provide any supplies or people, the Emperor quickly agreed, and more people began to help build as well.

Four months later, the basis for the town had begun. Suzanne went out looking for people who may be wanting to live there, mostly finding people in severe poverty or living on the streets. With the promise of a stable home and income, several people agreed, and planning had be increased for more homes and buildings to work at.

As building continued, the three of them went out looking for secure supply lines so that they had food and household items. They found several traders willing to help from all parts of the countries, and it was seeming that the town - which was quickly becoming a city despite not being finished - was going to become as popular a place to live as some of the larger cities.

"You know, we need to name this place," Suzanne said as they took a break from building. Lorelei nodded, considering.

"Well, it was your idea Lorelei, so why don't we call it after you?" suggested Yulia.

Lorelei shook his head. "No way. I may have come up with the idea, but it was because of you that I got the inspiration," he pointed out.

Suzanne smiled. "I think Yulia City has a nice ring to it," she said.

Lorelei blinked, then grinned. "Yeah...It does," he agreed.

Yulia looked surprised. "Why would you name it after me? We're building it for Freyr in the first place, so why not call it after him?"

"No, I think Yulia City sounds better. And besides, you're a famous prophet. It makes sense for someone like you to have a city named after you," Suzanne said.

Yulia looked about to argue, so Lorelei cut her off. "Come on, it's fine, isn't it? It's only a name, after all," he said with a grin.

Yulai glanced between them, then sighed before nodding. "Fine. I suppose no harm can come from it, after all."

A/N: And Yulia City is built. Unfortunately, Freyr doesn't get much screen time in this (because I had no idea how to write his character) and I'm aware that Yulia was pretty impulsive with her decision, but oh well. There probably isn't a disease which means you have a lack of fonons, but frankly, there's nothing disputing it (to my knowledge at least).
