My daughter is marrying a prince from
a different world
How my husband and my holder daughter
has known about the relationship
Fuu
was in garden to study for the next test of biology and she from a bit of time
had noticed a thing: if she studied in Sephiro she was able to understand the
subjects better, and more it was difficult more she understood it better. Fuu
lifted her glance and looked around: that garden was the most beautiful that
there is in the castle and it had bloomed in each season of the year, Ferio had
used all his will for create that place exclusively for their two and no other
could enter there and that's why it was Fuu's favorite place for study.
"...
each impulse creates a postsynaptic potential, that could depolarize the postsynaptic
cell carrying it nearer to the threshold, or hyperpolarize it making more
difficult the excitement. As they could distinguish themselves exciting postsynaptic
potential - EPSP- and inhibiting postsynaptic potential - IPSP-; the neuron's
excitement... "
"I
didn't know that you speak alone."
Fuu
looked at whom spoken and found herself reflected in two amber eyes.
Ferio
stooped curious on the book trying to decipher what there was written on.
"Must
you study this stuff also when you come here? Honey, you should think about how
amuse you."
"Certain
that I must study it: my teacher has announced a surprise test of Biology for
the next week: that's why I'm restudying for the nervous system."
"But
don't you want to take a break? Today the weather is splendid and the others
has decided to do a pick nick, if you interrupt for a pair of hours nothing
happens, or..."
"Or?"
Fuu
asked without move the eyes from the book; Ferio grabbed her chin gently and
turned her head toward him and he continued with a smile:
"Or
we would can going for a walk together: in this period the forest is
stupendous."
"However
I..."
He
puffed a little bit annoyed:
"You
know what I have done for free myself from my appointments and do you exchange
me in this way?! You are indeed without heart!"
Fuu
blushed knowing that he had perfectly reason, but the test was indeed important
also because she wanted to get the good grades at school, however...
"You are right, Ferio, sorry. I think
that I won't study this weekend: I have studied this subject for at least ten
or more days and I should have it at my fingertips."
She
closed the book and smiled:
"Then,
what do we do now? Do we reach the others or stay alone?"
"Personally... I prefer the second
opportunity, also because I must speak with you"
Telling
it he caressed her cheek and gave her a small kiss.
"I must speak with you too."
The
forest was all in flower and the small brook bubbled happily. The couple walked
following the stone shore, their fingers tightly laced: in the beginning of
their walk they had met three guards, a group of elves in search of roots and a
complaining old man.
"
This place is a little bit crowded for my taste." was Ferio's comment, but
after an hour and more they hadn't met other people.
"Therefore Fuu, do you have spoken to
your parents about the two of us? I think that a day I should come on the Earth
to speak with them."
"Well,
in a certain sense I have told it: I have spoken with my mother at the moment and
she has promised me that she will help me with dad and Kuu, however..."
Ferio
looked her trying to understand which it was her hesitation's cause, then she
continued:
"However
I couldn't have told it all, I mean that you are an other world's prince: knowing
her she would have sent me to a psychoanalyst!" she laughed at the thought
a little bit hysterical "But she knows that we are in love and want to
marry as soon as possible."
"Psychoanalyst?!
Bah, I don't understand a thing. How will you do? I want to know them so much:
from how you have draw your mother and your sister they must be some stupendous
people, your mother and Caldina would match very well."
"I
know it, those two has the same character, even: mama is worse than Caldina
some times; they would do a fine mess together!"
Fuu
smiled imagining Betsy and Caldina drink coffee and eat buns together while
they discuss about how make explosive the life in the court of Sephiro, then
asking to herself how tell her the truth sighed.
"In
three weeks" Ferio told suddenly " we'll celebrate the anniversary alliance
treaty's signature with the other countries: why don't you carry them with you?
It would be the proper occasion for the official announcement since there will
be the representatives of Pharen, Autozam and Chizeeta... and the Prime
Minister Kaal would stop insisting that I marry his daughter: I would not wish
even to my worse enemy to become Arosa's husband!"
He
pronounced annoyed the last part of the phrase.
Fuu
felt guilt thinking about the tension that Ferio must bear each day, her
problems were nonsense compared with his and soon she should have shared them
with him, but this didn't frighten her: after all she was the Magic Knight of
Wind and like it she was much respected, how the woman loved by the prince...
the most malignant supported that she was simply a his fun, the more realists
than she would have become one of the best queens that Sephiro would never have
had, Arosa Phita did her best to attract Ferio's attention doing show of
herself, and it could not expect other from her being the niece of Alcione.
Fuu
thought about along and then told worried:
"
But for Hikaru it won't be dangerous? It is she to carry us to Sephiro and I
would not want her to get tired too."
"There
is not only Hikaru" Ferio exclaimed winking "Aska-sama would lend you
one of her ships gladly: she considers you a sister!"
"
But I..."
"If
you don't ask could not know it."
He
concluded kissing it softly.
MEANTIME
AT HOUOJII MANSION...
Betsy
and Kuu were in kitchen preparing the roast beef: St. Anne high school's
teachers had organized a dinner and Houojii sensei had offered herself for the
organization.
Betsy
wondered how she could have promised to Fuu her help: surely the news had made
her happy - it was told that Fuu should have married a man chosen from the Old
Houojii - and she would not have had difficulty tell it to her older daughter,
but her husband... who knows how he would have reacted.
'Enough Betsy, now you tell it to Kuu and you
will think to Sei tomorrow! However... who knows thing will be doing Fuu in
this moment...'
She
smiled when a hypothesis came in her mind.
"Who
know what will be doing Fuu now, however she could postpone this trip. Mama,
does she have told you where she have gone?"
"
Surely they will be being amused Betsy or... tee hee.. they will be being 'amused'
alone."
Betsy
thought to tall voice with a grin. Kuu looked at her mother become curious and
asking to her what that phrase meant.
"
Mama, why are you smiling in that way? You know that that smile does me always
frighten."
"Sorry
darling, I thought to tall voice... however I think that Fuu been amusing with
her friends: she told me that this weekend is very important because she has
some business to hurry. Kuu-chan cleans the vegetables for the salad: I have
bought some tomatoes indeed delicious!"
'How I do how I do how I do... ah-a idea! '
"Tell
me, Kuu: how it goes with Akira? It is from some time that doesn't call."
Kuu
stopped to slice the tomatoes for an instant and then took back her job.
"
How do you want it goes? Last week we have quarreled again."
"
Oh darling, I'm sorry: but what did you expect? You stay together from so much
time, too for my taste: I at your age..."
"
I know it I know: you at my age had had 5 or 6 fixed boys already more a number
indefinite of flirtation and you have enjoyed until when you have known dad.
Here you have told this story many times. "
Kuu
answered annoyed. Betsy checked the temperature of the oven and putted in it
the roast beef.
"
From how much you time stays together? Excluding all times long that you have
broken naturally."
"
Well... here we know from the high school and we have put on together during
the second year... more or less six years included the period that I went on to
London and that in which he has studied to New York."
"
Mmmh. three years in less... and now
you there have left definitely?"
The
mother asked almost absent-mindedly.
"
I don't know, I think so: he is so suffocating! Aha, you are right when you
tell that I should amuse me: almost is a beautiful boy with whom enjoy!"
"
Ok, this is the spirit: you show to be my daughter! However... he seems very more serious than Akira.... "
Kuu
looked at her again surprised: of whomever she was speaking? And then all those
questions on her ex-boyfriend... the matter stank.
"
A last question: after as time you two..."
She
asked still putting the paprika in the sauce for the roast. Kuu blushed
furiously while she cried for the onions.
"
You should have cooked Japanese: yours guests could not like your specialty,
they are too spicy."
"
My maternal grandmother was half Mexican, she has taught me to cook: and you
don't change subject! You to your mom could tell everything... ahead, your
father is not still returned."
"
Phew, you are insistent some times! And then... I have told it you a pair of
years ago, when I have decided to do that step!"
"
And who tells me that it haven't happened before... or after? C'mon, don't be so bad. "
"
Some day after I have spoken with you."
"
Mmmh. less time and also first. there is
a beautiful difference between there two."
Betsy
grumbled between herself.
Kuu /owed absolutely know/ what was
happening: her mother speaking alone and all those questions while the dinner
for the guests was prepared... it were all so strange.
"
Mama, why do you ask me these questions? And why do you speak alone?"
'Ok Betsy, the plan of action has succeeded:
now is the moment of the good news! Tee hee... she'll has a shock...'
"
No my daughter, I was thinking about your sister... she is very lucky."
"She is certain lucky: she doesn't have
the worries of this kind. That's why I envy Fuu, she doesn't have still had a
boy and."
"Who tell you that she doesn't have one?
"
"
What?! Fuu..."
"
Exactly sweetie: yours dear sister has a
boyfriend."
Kuu
was literally without words: her baby sister with a boy?! Yet she had not
touched the thing with her and at school she was well know for don't have a
social life like the girls of her age: excluding Hikaru, Umi and her childhood
friend Seiji, Fuu didn't have friends. Thousand questions attacked her mind and
when she stopped prepare the salad exclaimed:
"The
grandfather won't appreciate it: Fuu is his favorite grand-daughter and Ayumi
has confided me that he has intention to engage her with a his friend's son...
he will do all for separate them... "
"
I don't believe that the Old Hiro could succeed us: the story is serious."
"How
have you known it? It must be something of recent... "
"She
has told me last week, don't ask me in what circumstances -I have promised to
don't tell it: you must see how she was happy while she spoke, her eyes shone
of happiness. However you mistakes telling that it is a recent thing: they are
around three years that stay together."
Kuu
stayed again amazed: 3 years?!
"
But... she doesn't have ever touch with me the thing! "
"
It seems that it is a complicated story. No, not in that sense. I think that it
is this why she has not spoken."
A
hamletic doubt tortured Kuu. She thought on whoever could be the boy that Fuu
loved, Seiji's name came in her mind and then one of Hikaru's three brothers
but her mother made her understand that she was totally wrong. She wondered
which kind of boy her sister could like, surely not a commune.
"
Do we know Him? Does she have introduced you him? At least does she have made
you see a his photo?"
"
We don't know him and she doesn't have still introduced, however I have seen a
his photo gone off from Umi-san during a party: a handsome boy who has more or
less your age, the photo is in white and black however is seen well that they
are in love with each other."
"
But not to will he makes her suffer? Fuu is in love for the first time in her
life and I would not want that she has an experience like mine."
"
Ferio's intentions - if I don't mistake he is called so - are the most serious
of this world: he has already asked Fuu to marry him after the end of the high
school."
Kuu
was about to open her mouth to express all her wonder when...
BOOOM!
Mother
and daughter threw themselves in the living room from where the noise had
arrived and they there found Mr. Houojii fainted on the carpet. Kuu went to
take the smelling salts while Betsy supported his legs on a chair.
' He must has heard what we were telling...
however, at least hour won't think about like tell it to Sei! '
She
thought between herself caressing her husband's hair and with a smile on her
lips.
'Awww.... he is so nice when he faints! '
Kuu
began to make sniff the salts to the father while her mother smoked calm, he
soon have recovered consciousness and asked with a thread of voice:
"
Betsy... what do you have told few time ago about Fuu...?"
"
That after the high school she will get married."
"
Are you approving?! Where is she now? Hey Fuu! Come down: you must give me some
explanations!"
"
Dad, Fuu is spending the weekend out with her friends."
"
And she is with him."
Sei
fainted again. Kuu shook the head and looked at her mother slapping her
husband.
"No
Honey: I don't know if I approve or not, I don't know still him, however... if
our daughter is happy we must be also. Just leave her free to do her
choices."
