Hello! Shidesu Here
Something before all i have to say: WoW! over 2000 views the past month, you have no idea how happy that make me, as i said before, i had a lot of doubts about the decisions and outcomes of this fanfiction, but is really a relief to see that the people actually liked enough to continue following this story.
Some points before we begin:
First of all, the poll results, as you all can see, the third place is for team Camilla, the second to the Harem route (even if it was only two girls) and in first place belongs to Team Sakura, what this mean?
So that´s it? Will it be Sakura route?
Well…..not exactly, yes, Sakura team won in the poll, but that is what confuse me, in the poll she won…..but men, there are a lot of Pm´s asking for the harem route, and is weird because with the Pm´s AND the votes, technically the Harem route win, but these same people didn't voted in the poll, so what im going to do?
Since im a fair man, i will create a new poll, with only two options, the Harem and Sakura route, but this time I'll ignore the Pm´s and only use the poll result to decide what story will be posted first, if you feel that your vote was wasted or ignored, let me assure you that´s not the case, the previous poll was just to see what story would be updated first, meaning that no matter the result, I WILL WRITE THE STORIES, the only difference is which one is first.
So, with that clear, the next poll will be open the moment i update this chapter, and it will last the rest of the month, please, this time use the poll to decide your chose and not Pm´s, as i said before, the next Pm´s asking for the harem route will be ignored, i know that the guests can´t send any Pm´s (as far as i know) so is really strange to see a lot of messages asking for the same thing when they´re not voting for it.
Sorry for the long A/N
SHIDESU! OUT!
Chapter 12: A Dragon and a pair of Princesses
As far as she knew, the Nohrian princess, the 'bewitching beauty' was merciless in the battlefield, every time she showed up in a battle, the fate of the enemies was already decided, so, why in the world, was this woman so calm? Sakura wondered, of course, she didn't expected to be murdered right there, but of all things, there was something that Camilla made pretty clear the day he joined the army
No matter what, Kamui was hers.
So, why after declaring that he was her boyfriend, to steal a Kiss in front of her, it was weird that her first reaction was to prepare tea, it took her 15 minutes, of course it was lavender tea, something common in Nohr, so there were they, quietly drinking their cups, very slowly, expecting anything from the Nohrian princess, for her way, she was happily, drinking her cup
"S-So….."Kamui began "What…..What now?"
"Mmmm? What do you mean Darling?"
"Y-You know what i mean….about…us…the three of us"
"Umm….E-Excuse me" Sakura shyly raised her hand "I….um….I-Im sorr-"
"Dont say that sweet heart" Camilla interrupted her in mid-sentence, leaving her cup on the table "Do you really feel you did something wrong?"
"Ummm…..well"
"Or are you telling me that you didn't enjoyed that? To be that close of him, feeling his lips, his breath and the way he tender-"
"Pl-Please stop it" Sakura said looking down with red cheeks
"You see sweet heart? If you enjoyed, then there´s nothing wrong about that"
"Th-Then, you dont have anything against me?"
"Of course no" Both Kamui and Sakura sigued in relief "But if you really did that for make me angry, that would be a different story" her eyes darkened looking at her "Of course, that goes as well if you´re playing with Kamui heart, so I think you know what you have to say now"
"uugg…." Sakura lips trembled as her face turned a shade similar to her hair, she looked at Kamui who was staring at her, with her hand on her chest, slowly her mouth opened "I…I R-REALLY LIKE KAMUI! TH-THERES NO WAY I COULD M-MAKE SOMETHING TO HURT HIM!" she closed her eyes "T-TO ME, H-HES MY DEAREST PERSON I-IN ALL THE WORLD!" after that she hid her face behind her hands.
"Good to hear that!" Camilla said, with a happy smile and a chuckle "That wasnt so hard, was it?" her respond were low whispers in Hoshidian language, that Camilla found incredible cute as Sakura ears turned a shade of red
"So….." Kamui continued "Wh-What do you want to do?"
"Well~ i had prepared some punishment if you or she did anything in my back, but after that show, she completely blow up my schemes….."
"So….that dont excactly answer my question…."
"Mmmm~ let me thing for a moment Darling" Camilla gazed at the ceiling with a playfully smile, with her index finger placed on her lips and leaning back on her chair, it was true, in many ways there were a lots of thing, plans and ideas of what to do, but most of them were unfair for one or another.
If she decided to ignore Sakura confession, it could hurt either her or Kamui in such way that maybe another brawl between them could occur, not between them, but instead their retainers or parts of the army, after hearing from Beruka that that trio of ninjas were helping the princess, it was something she couldn´t ignore.
The situation with the Royal family is delicate to put it gently, having the youngest girl and boy of the Hoshidian royalty was in many difficult, more considering the behavior Prince Takumi have with any Nohrian in the camp, hearing that his little sister is devastated for Kamui decision to ignore her feelings and go with her would be the from that spilled the glass.
She couldn't afform that kind of political disaster, not when they were so close to see the truth that Azura and Kamui hid from everyone else.
In the other side, neither she wanted to give up on him, he was her precious little brother since the first day they meet, even if it wasn't in the best terms, when he opened his heart to her, to her family after all what their father did, she couldn't help but love him as he loved her back, at first, it was just the same love she had with Xander, Leo and Elise, but slowly but steadily, the love for his 'brother' turned in something 'Forbidden'.
She internally laughed at the memory, how could it be something wrong? If it the first place them weren't related for blood? Was really something that bad? Of course, Garon made it pretty clear that if something happened between them, it would be the last time they see each other, and Camilla could not help but hate the decision of his father, that was until the day Kamui finally left the castle, his prison, that was when Camilla decided that even if their family hated for it, she would tell him all the truth, that´s why she planned to take him and ran away from Nohr, even it that implied being branded as a traitor and being chased for her own family….unfortunately or in this case, for the fate itself, that day never came, it was when Kamui was taken back from Hoshido and shortly after, the day in the hoshidians fields that he refused to fight against any of his family…
…Family….
Just as soon the word passed for her mind, Camilla reacted, and an idea formed in her mind, of course she needed the cooperation of Kamui and Sakura, but this way, everyone would be happy, they had to.
"That´s it!" She cheered up, startling both of them "I know what to do now"
"You do?" Kamui asked as Sakura was recovering for the last statements she made
"Of course Darling, i have an idea…..but both of you have to agree with it"
"O-Ok….lets hear it then….."
"You know, since Sakura and I kinda forced our ways on you…..i have a proposition for her" She said looking at the Hoshidian princess "What if…we announce our decision to decide who of us will adopt him into our Royal families?"
"Eh?" Both Kamui and Sakura said at the same time, just before they reacted again "…..EEEEEEEEEEEH?!"
"C-Camilla! Wh-what do you mean?" Kamui asked
"Is quite simple Darling, since you belong neither to Nohr or Hoshido"
"….meaning? i-i cant still see how i-"
"Ah!, y-you mean, like adopting him in a way similar our father adopted Mikoto right?" Sakura interruped him "L-Like a….like a….." Sakura looked down embarrassed for what she was thinking
"Can anyone explain what both of you are meaning?"
"Certainly Darling" Camilla said standing up "Since you have no ties with any kingdom, there´s no rule or law that you can't be our suitor, if Sakura reveals her letter, then it will be only a matter of time before the topic of YOUR marriage surface to everyone"
"B-But why that would be that important? We dont have others things to worry about?"
"Under normal circumstances yes, but this raise an important question, exactly, what are you going to do AFTER the war?"
Kamui opened his mouth, but nothing came, in fact, it was the first time that question passed his mind, exactly what was his plan after? Going back to Nohr and Hoshido was difficult now, there was no way to say if Garon would accept him back or Yukimura would let him stay if he returned to either kingdom, sure, his siblings would do the best to smooth the things with the others, but there was no guarantee that he could stay, and is not like he wanted to force his way to any of the kingdoms, if either of them didn't wanted him, he could always spent the rest of his days in a deeprealm or other halidom, it would hurt, but it was something he decided a long time ago, but now, why it was so hard to tell them his decision?
"I…I dont know…." He finally answered "I…i never thought after the war…..just to unite our force and maintain all alive"
"Then is perfect Darling!" Once again, Camilla smiled but Kamui couldn't understood the situation "You´ll see, since you´re not for any kingdom, then it's perfect that you start courting any of us, since no matter what, the result is a win-win in both sides"
"I…..I don't see how"
"If you court and marry one of us, then no matter what side you chose, your future to be wife will be a symbol that even after what happened in the hoshidian plains, you have no ills intentions against the kingdom you´re being adopted, and even if you don't marry one of us, the people will see that you were objective, helping either side in the same way, it's already proven in your previous adventures and missions that you want to help everyone"
"But i dont want to force them to accept me, less that it seems like it was some evil plot to guarantee a position in any royal family"
"You woulnt be doing that, it would be like what King Sumeragi did with your moth- with Queen Mikoto"
"Fine, lets pretend that everything goes well and we announce our decision to be a couple, or that im courting one or both of you, i don't think any would be happy to hear that im dating both princess of different kingdoms"
"They wouldnt raise any objection if you´re the King"
"…Camilla, i dont ever want or desire to overthrow King Garon or my older brother Ryoma"
"Sorry, its not what i meant, King was the wrong word Darling, maybe a Lord of a land, after all you´re already a noble"
"I dont even wa-"
"Is not like you have an option here Darling" Camilla said clapping her hand together "After all, if our effort to end this meaningless war are a success, it wouldn't be weird that Xander could convince father to give you a part of our land, and i believe it is the same in Hoshido, right?"
Both of them turned to see Sakura, who for a moment looked with her eyes to her right and with her left hand on her chin, she thought for a moment "…i don't think that Ryoma would let you wander around the world if you have no place to return…s-so i guess yes, he could give you a small part of our lands"
Kamui jaw dropped hearing this, he never intended to be remunerated for this "You see Darling? Whoever you decide to marry, is a win-win situation"
Kamui sigued looking down "I….I don't know what to say" He looked at Sakura "I mean…..are you ok with it? Knowing that im dating you and Camilla at the same time?" Sakura looked at him for a moment, and started playing with her thumbs again
"W-Well….i dont really like the idea of you looking other women…" she quietly say
"You see Camilla? Sh-"
"B-But as a Royal suitor…." She continued "I-I can understand if this happened, s-so I don't mind it as long i can stay with you for a little longer u-until the war finished"
"S-Sakura? You cant b-"
"Oh, but she is serious about this darling" Camilla placed her hands on Sakura shoulder behind her, startling her for a moment "She said it herself a moment ago, didnt she? I have the same opinion as her, YOU are our dearest person in all the world, would you be cruel enough to deny this to us?"
Kamui bit his lip, there were a lot of reasons why dating two princess at the same time from different kingdoms was in many ways wrong, but the more Camilla spoke the less his arguments were sound enough to reject her idea
'Mmm~ hes doubting, good, just a little more push and it will be over' Camilla thought 'I really wanted to see this "dere dere" thing from Hoshido, it´s a good time to use it' she whispered some word to Sakura, making her blush even more, for a moment, she wasn't sure if the girl was brave enough to say those words, but after few seconds, the girl began what would be the final push Kamui needed
"K-Kamui…" Sakura began with trembling hands "Pl-Please….I….I want to do this, couldn't you court me please? I…I really want to hold your hands for now on… please!" she said, with no hesitation and looking directly as his eyes, both Camilla and Kamui heartbeat stopped for a moment (they were sure Sakura as well)
"…..i….i understand" he finally replied "…..take care of me then from now on" he bowed
"Good! Very good Sakura! You convince him!" Camilla said hugging the girl, in fact she didnt wanted to show her face to her, the way she said it was absolutely cute, enough to make her blush for her level of cuteness "Now, lets share with the others the news! I know the rest will be delighted to hear it! Did you heard Beruka? Selena?"
The moment her words were heard, the door of the room opened, or better said fell for the pressure exerted for Selena, Beruka, Hana and Kagero, all falling to the floor in said order
"Eh?!" Both Kamui and Sakura exclaimed at the same time "H-How long have you been listening!" Kamui yelled
"I-im sorry milord, i fai-" Kagero tried to explain herself
"Thats not important! Sakura are you really sure of this?!" Hana approached her friend
"Understood" Beruka said in her usual way
"N-No way! How can this happen Lady Camilla! You were supposed to win!" Selena exclaimed!
"Hey! First of all, you couldn't win against me, so way it has to be decided for you?" Hana said, still aside of Sakura
Before Kamui or Camilla could control them, the chaos reigned again in his room, sighing and trying to calm down all the girls, he knew it wouldn't be easy, but at least it was a start that both girls had an agreement, hopefully it would end well.
Aaaaaaaaaand thats all for now!
Sorry about the short chapter, is only 6 pages instead of the usual 9-10, but there are things I want to save for the next ones, so i hope you can wait a little longer
Anyway, as i said at the begining, i will reopen the poll, but that´s not all, i will open another, for what? Well, following the Pm´s AND since there´s another fanfiction with the ideas of stories, I will post the candidates of some of my ideas and you can vote what story will go out first, so i´ll wait to see what is more requested until the end of this month
Either way, if a story is enough supported or reviewed, i can always take it and star another fanfiction, sooooo i hooope you really like them.
Remember, both polls will be open until the end of this month, so don't forget to vote, you can see them in my profile!
Without anything more to say, i hope you have a nice day/night and will be seeing until the next update!
(Just a few moments ago i realized that only one poll is avaible to be seen, so the options are Rhatja, Peri, Ophelia, Azura, Felicia and Mozu, i will post it as soon the first one finish, sorry for that)
SHIDESU! OUT!
