Chapter Twenty
Return
Onogoro
The trip back to Onogoro was fairly quiet; Mu never left Kira and Lacus' side.
It was afternoon when they saw the Onogoro gates. The guard and battalion of knights were happy to return home. Kira and Lacus smiled at each other as they saw the gates.
There return was a day late, but that didn't stop the people from coming to see there King. In the past week everybody now knew Lacus' name, mostly because of the rumors that came from the castle staff. The rumors about her social background were being spread as well. To some she was a noble from a different land, and others heard she was a low class servant. This caused many lower class citizens to love there King even more. The nobles mostly didn't care, but a few that still lived in the old world were furious about the matter.
The streets were crowded, Lacus' family was naturally there to see there daughter, and sister as was her friends. The people waited patiently until the city gates were opened.
Kira and Lacus smiled at each other as they saw the gates. Kira's wounds were still causing him pain, but this was the point when he really had to ignore it. Kira knew it wouldn't be long before people found out about the possibility of another war, however he wanted them to feel at peace for as long as possible.
"Glad to be back Lacus?" Kira asked.
Lacus looked at him, "It seems like forever since we left."
Mu rode next to them, "Hey kid, are you able to get through the city alright, I've noticed you starting to clinch at the pain."
Kira smiled, "I will be fine, the armor is just causing the tension."
"Just be sure to get it off when were in the castle, and have it looked at again." Mu told him.
Kira smiled, "Mu if you keep this up you'll get old."
Mu frowned, "I don't look old, do I?"
Kira and Lacus chuckled.
They were now at the city gates and the guards opened them. The royal guard made there way in first.
Kira looked at Lacus, "Just to prepare you the whole city probably knows your name by now."
Lacus looked at him and smiled, "I knew it would happen sooner or later."
The remaining first part of the guard was finished and now it was time for Kira to ride in. He gave Lacus one last look and they both started in. As they were riding he reached his hand out to her which she accepted.
At the sight of there King the crowd erupted, people chanted his name and waved. Kira instantly raised his arm, but it was his injured shoulders arm so it was painful. Lacus was very concerned for him, but she couldn't show it out here. She kept her eyes on him until she heard her name being said by the crowd. She was naturally a little shocked, but she knew it was coming. Lacus looked over and saw a group of older citizens she could tell her former slaves like herself. These people were slaves there whole lives, but they were grateful to the King, that for the time they had left they were free. They had all smaller children with them which would probably be there grandchildren.
All the kids were happy to see Lacus. Lacus loved children so she was happy to see them as well. Some even called out to her, and some waved. Lacus smiled and waved back at them, she then heard some of the older people call out to her.
"You are the dream, My Lady," an older man called out to her.
Lacus felt a little confused.
"The dream that has finally come true, we are now treated like equals." an older woman that was next to the man said.
The older people brought there grandchildren to show them that in the new world the King created former slaves could do anything, perhaps even become a Queen. These people knew what Lacus was and they wanted to see there dream first hand.
Lacus know understood the meaning, and was pleased people thought of her like that. She was now a symbol of hope for former slaves, but all she wanted was to be with Kira.
Kira knew everything that went on, and he couldn't help but smile. People were calling for Lacus like she was the real Queen. He knew the people would love her, even some of the nobles thought she looked cute with the King.
They continued through the city, and people were still going crazy over him. Kira continued to wave and smile, Lacus did the same especially when she saw her family. It was the longest time she had ever been away from them. She didn't want to bring to much attention to them so she just gave a wave, and then looked away.
Mu was naturally keeping his guard up, but he was still beating himself up for letting the King become harmed. Lacus returned her gaze back to Kira, he seemed to look better.
As soon as Kira reached the front of the castle the chants of his name got louder. He turned around and gave one last wave, which made his people happier, and then they entered the castle.
They passed the gates and Lacus looked at Kira.
"I just knew they would love you," Kira told her.
Lacus blushed, "It was you they loved, and I couldn't agree more you are the greatest ruler in this countries history."
Kira smiled, "You are the hope though." Kira said jokingly.
"I just want to be with you Kira; I never wanted such a title." Lacus said softly.
Kira leaned over and kissed her, "I know that Lacus."
Lacus looked at him and blushed again, "How is your wound?"
Kira smiled, "Trying to change the subject, very devious of you My Lady," Kira told her jokingly.
Lacus smiled, "You said you could never deny my request so I wish to change the subject." Lacus replied jokingly.
"Your right so let's talk about your family," Kira told her.
Lacus looked at him, "You mean,"
Kira nodded his head, "Yes as soon as I have this wound checked we will go see them."
Lacus smiled, "Thank you it means a lot to me."
"I will only have a little while though, I have to report to the council later and discuss what happened." Kira replied.
"I know you do Kira, and I'm grateful you would make time to meet them." Lacus replied.
"Of course I would, they are important to you so I want to meet them." Kira told her.
Lacus smiled again and they shared a short kiss before they reached the front of the castle. They saw the front of the castle with three figures standing there along with most of the council. The two other people standing there Lacus really didn't want to see George and Flay were waiting there. Apparently George wanted Flay to see the King after he was wounded to try and show him her fake soft side.
Messiah Outside Castle
The four slaves were still celebrating Yunna's death. It was now in the afternoon, and they were still happy.
"What will happen to you know Luna?" Stellar asked.
"I don't really know, I guess we will find out any second know." Luna said as a few guards were approaching her.
"You slave, you belonged to Lord Yunna correct," A guard said.
Luna said nothing for a second, "No I don't belong to anyone."
This made them angry as they grabbed her.
Luna was sick of being bossed around, she wanted to fight back, but they throw her to the ground.
"Some men you are," Shiho shouted at them.
They turned to her, "Be grateful you belong to Lord Yzac or I would have your head."
They looked back at Luna, "If you won't cooperate we don't really need you anyway."
They took out there swords.
"No please don't hurt my sister!" Meryin shouted.
Luna looked at her, "I don't care Meryin, I would rather be destroyed than serve these pigs anymore."
The men heard that and were about to swing. Luna shut her eyes and prepared for the worst.
"Hold it!" a man shouted.
Luna opened her eyes and all looked at the man.
The guards instantly sheathed there swords and stood straight up.
"Colonel Waltfeld Sir," They said.
Andrew rode through most of the night and day when he left Kira's camp and finally arrived back in Messiah.
Andrew walked over to them, "What is going of here?"
"Sir, she is supposed to be resold, but she wouldn't cooperate." a guard told him.
Andrew walked over to Luna, "Hmm…I think you can leave," Andrew told the guards.
They looked confused, "But sir."
"I will buy her; just send the price to me later." Andrew said.
"Whatever you want Sir," They said as they walked away.
Andrew watched them leave and turned back to Luna.
"I go away for a day, and you cause this much trouble." Andrew told her.
"What do you mean buy me I thought…" Luna said as she was cut off.
"If I didn't they would have killed you, and you are no good to me dead." Andrew said.
"Thank you for saving my sister," Meryin said.
"No problem," Andrew replied.
Shiho walked up to him, "What happened in ORB?"
"I was to late the battle was over before I got there, however ORB's royal guard and My King fought them off."
All four sighed in relief.
"You mean the King actually fought?" Stellar asked.
"Yes he would never let his knight do all the fighting, especially since they were after him." Andrew replied.
Luna looked at him, "So he is a good King then?"
"The best," Andrew replied.
"Since our lives are at stake, tell us will this King really care to help slaves like us?" Shiho asked.
Andrew looked at her, "I never had any doubt that he wouldn't, especially since it looks like he will chose a former slave for his Queen."
All looked shocked.
"Anyway now you will be acting as my slave, this will make all our jobs a lot easier," Andrew told them.
"I guess your right," Luna replied.
Onogoro Castle
Kira and Lacus rode into the castle and saw all the people that were waiting for them. As soon as they reached the courtyard, Arnold the stableman grabbed both of the horses. The council members were a little anxious to see how badly there King was wounded. Kira smiled at his mother and sister and got off the horse. His shoulder was bothering him, but he still helped Lacus off hers giving her a small kiss as she reached the ground. This was noticed by the whole courtyard, most were happy. The two that were not pleased with this were George and Flay; Flay never took furious eyes off of Lacus. After there kiss they headed up to where the people were standing.
Kira and Lacus walked up the castle with Lacus having her arm around Kira's, which made Flay even madder. They approached Via and Cagalli, Cagalli seemed to have an angry look on her face, as Via had a relieved expression.
"It is good to see you well…" Kira tried to say, but Cagalli cut him off.
"What are you talking about, you were almost killed and you're worried about us!" Cagalli shouted.
Kira smiled, "It's good to know you care sister."
Cagalli turned her head.
"Are you alright son?" Via asked.
Kira turned to his mother, "It is nothing serious mother, I will be fine."
Kira felt Lacus' grip on him tighten, she knew he was omitting the truth a little.
Via looked at Lacus, "What about you Lacus, are you alright?"
Lacus looked at her happy that she was being accepted. "I am fine Lady Via; it was just a little frightening."
All council members heard this and Flay looked at her father.
"To bad it didn't kill her," Flay said in a whisper.
George gave her a bad stare, "Don't blow this Flay."
Via smiled, "I heard the report dear, I am glad my son had you by his side."
Lacus blushed, "Thank you."
Flay started pouting, Via never gave her a nice complement.
"I'm glad your back Lacus, now tell me are you tired of my brother yet?" Cagalli asked jokingly.
Kira looked at her, "I'm telling you sister don't start."
Lacus chuckled, "No princess, I could never get tired of your brother."
Flay's face went red with anger.
Cagalli frowned, "Please don't call me a princess."
"I…I'm sorry," Lacus started apologizing.
"Hey I'm teasing you, I just wanted to see if you loosened up yet, you need to spend a little time with me." Cagalli told her.
"No way, I do not need another Cagalli's around here," Kira told her jokingly.
"I heard that brother," Cagalli replied as they all laughed.
Lacus truly started to feel like she was part of there family know, which they wanted her to be.
"Kira, would you explain what happened know?" Via asked still concerned for her son.
Kira looked at her, "I will mother, but first I have a promise to keep."
Via looked at him, and smiled, "Alright son."
Kira started to notice that Mu wasn't anywhere to be seen. He looked over and saw Mu trying to pull the moves on her again, Kira and Lacus got a laugh out of that, and started to greet the council members. The two that were Kira's biggest supporters greeted both him and Lacus. The two that were with his father only greeted him, which he didn't like. Then there was George and Flay.
"I see you're doing well Governor," Kira told him in a somewhat stern voice.
"Your Majesty, we are all glad you're safe and unharmed." George said.
"I'll bet you are," Kira told himself.
"I appreciate your concern Governor," Kira replied.
"Yes, Your Highness we should start the council meeting." George told him.
Kira looked at him, "We will have our meeting tomorrow, and I will give a detailed report then."
George and the two council members were annoyed that he didn't want to report to them now. The truth was Kira knew if they started know they wouldn't finish before dark and the second reason was because he wanted to keep his promise to Lacus.
Lacus really didn't want to look at George, but she really hated having to be near Flay next.
Kira left George and walked up to Flay, he knew he had to at least greet her. As soon as he got in front of Flay she gave him one of her seductive smiles that almost made him sick.
"What a surprise to see you here Flay Allster," Kira said in an annoyed voice.
Flay smiled wider, "I was very concerned for your safety My Lord, I heard about the attack, and it hurt me to know you were in danger." Flay told him trying to sound concerned.
"Yeah concerned for my crown is what you're worried about," Kira told himself.
"There was no need for concern, as you can see I'm fine," Kira told her a little annoyed again.
Flay glanced over and gave Lacus a death glare when Kira wasn't looking. Lacus knew she shouldn't let it bother her, but after what Flay did to her in the past she was still tense around her.
Kira and Lacus started to lead them into the castle, and he turned back to the council.
"I will address the council tomorrow, we will then discuss the matters," Kira told them.
The council agreed and turned to leave, which only left Flay and George.
"Listen Flay I have to send that letter out today, I want you to try and talk to the King again, make sure you don't screw up." George told her.
"Alright Daddy, I think he was actually being nice to me today, I think I can pull it off." Flay told him as she rushed into the castle.
Kira walked into the castle and right to the main throne room, Flay tried to follow but the guard stopped her. She knew that she would have to wait to see him.
As soon as he got into the throne room he immediately ejected his armor. His armor and tension caused some of the stitches to reopen. The doctor was in the room to examine him, he immediately checked the wound. Kira removed his shirt and revealed the wound which was bleeding again. Via was naturally concerned for her son, as was Cagalli but she would never admit it. The worst was Lacus, and she never left his side. The doctor did a quick examine, and re-stitched the wound. The doctor told him he shouldn't do any fast movements for awhile, and not to wear anything heavy on his wound. Kira's royal robe was brought to the throne room by Mu. Mu handed the robe to Lacus and she draped it over his shoulders. Kira know had only his light leg armor.
"Feel better kid?" Mu asked.
"Yes it does," Kira replied.
"You should have the doctor do a full examine Kira," Lacus told him softly.
Kira smiled, "I will Lacus."
Kira looked at the people in the room. "Mu, why don't you wait for me by the gate?"
Mu looked confused, "You going somewhere kid?"
Kira nodded, "Yes, I have to keep a promise."
Lacus blushed.
"Alright kid, I will be waiting for you." Mu said as he left.
Mu left the room, and Kira who was sitting on his throne when the doctor fixed him rose from it.
"If you will excuse me mother, I have something to do," Kira said as he looked at Lacus.
Via nodded, "I understand son, but do not over exhaust yourself."
"Yeah brother, I would be bored if something happened to you," Cagalli added.
Kira looked at her, "How convenient I am to be around for your entertainment." he said jokingly.
All got a laugh out of this.
Kira and Lacus started to leave the room; she was still concerned for him so she kept her arm on him.
"I am so grateful to her," Via said.
Murrue looked at her, "I see what you mean, I have a feeling she will take the title of Queen soon."
Via smiled, "Yes, she is very suited for that title, and I can tell she really loves him."
"I agree she will do well with him." Cagalli said as her mother looked at her.
"What are you looking at?" Cagalli questioned.
"Your brother isn't the only one who I have a feeling will settle down soon," Via told her.
Cagalli blushed wildly, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Via and Murrue laughed leaving an embarrassed Cagalli.
Main Hallway ORB Castle
Kira and Lacus left the throne room heading for the main rooms so they could change, have Kira's full examine, and prepare for the departure to meet Lacus' family.
"Kira are you sure you are well enough, we can do this a different time," Lacus said concerned.
Kira smiled, "I am fine Lacus, just nervous."
Lacus smiled, "My family will love you, besides I don't think they can say anything anyway you are the King."
Kira looked at her, "True, but I want them to just look at me as just Kira today."
"I know they will love you," Lacus said.
Kira stopped and wrapped her in his arms, his robe covered them both know. Lacus immediately returned his embrace. They looked into each others eyes and shared a very passionate kiss.
A way's down the hall Flay saw everything, her angered boiled as she stormed right over to them. Flay noticed they didn't even seem to notice her, she knew she had to calm down so she put on her seductive smile and walked the rest of the way over to them.
"Your Majesty may I have a moment of your time?" Flay asked calmly.
Kira and Lacus broke there kiss annoyed that they were interrupted again.
Kira turned to look at her, "Speak."
Flay smiled seductively at him, "May I see you in private?"
Kira held Lacus tighter and they both turned there backs to her and started walking.
"Whatever you have to say you can say in front of her, now if you want something speak." Kira told her.
Before Kira turned around Flay saw the wound on his shoulder, it was the shoulder Lacus was standing by and she thought of something.
They started walking and Flay followed behind them.
"Your Majesty I was wondering if you would just grant me a moment of time by ourselves." Flay told him softly as she kept staring at Lacus in front of her.
"I have no time for this Flay so speak," Kira replied angrily.
Flay saw that Kira was looking straight ahead so she quickly walked right behind Lacus.
"Well Flay," Kira said annoyed again.
Flay saw her chance and kicked Lacus' feet out from her while she was walking. Lacus on instinct grabbed on to Kira and hit his shoulder wound. Lacus managed to stay on her feet, but Kira groaned loud when his shoulder was hit and fell to one knee. Flay instantly ran up to Kira.
"My Lord are you alright…Look what you did!" Flay shouted over to Lacus.
Lacus knew that Flay kicked her feet from her, but she was more concerned with Kira at the moment and didn't really hear what Flay said.
Lacus had tears in her eyes and started walking towards Kira.
"Haven't you done enough!" Flay screamed at her.
Flay was so proud of herself she shut her eyes to take in the moment. When she opened them what she saw wasn't what she was expecting.
Kira was holding Lacus in her arms comforting her as he wiped her tears out of her eyes.
"Lacus it was an accident, it's alright," Kira told her softly.
Lacus looked at him, "I am so sorry I don't know what happened," Lacus knew what happened, but she still couldn't turn Flay in. Lacus suffered years of mental and physical abuse from Flay she was still always worried that she would still do something to her.
"How is your wound did I reopen it?" Lacus asked concerned.
Kira smiled, "My wound is fine, now we had better get ready or it will turn dark."
Lacus smiled and they shared a short kiss, before leaving forgetting Flay was even there.
Flay was in shock and anger, she didn't know why Kira was always on her side. Flay stood straight up and stormed out of the castle returning home.
"Daddy said to wait, but I can't take it anymore, I will do something to that slave girl myself." Flay told herself as she left.
Onogoro Allster Estate
George's Study
George was in his study with a messenger that he trusted and shared his plan with.
"Now just take this note to Mutata Azeral in Messiah," George told him.
"Yes Governor, I will find him." The man said as he left.
George sat down in his chair and smiled wide, if Azeral accepted he would have an obstacle out of his way.
Flay's Room
Flay arrived home madder than ever, she knew she had to follow her fathers plans, but she just wanted to torture Lacus a little herself, like the old days. Flay snagged to guards that also knew of Georges plans, and she told them what she was planning.
"So just like the old days right Lady Flay?" a guard asked her.
Flay smiled, "Yes, my father has plan's for her, but this won't interfere with his plan's."
"Alright when?" the other guard asked.
Flay used her small brain to think, "We will do it tomorrow."
All started laughing and getting excited.
Onogoro Castle
Kira and Lacus quickly changed into more suitable attire, it was the clothes they wore when they had there moonlight dinner. Kira still strapped his sword on though, and Lacus was getting exited.
Lacus made sure Kira was given his full examine by the doctor as well. The doctor said he was fine, and told him as long as he didn't push himself he would be fine going out. Kira and Lacus then left for the front of the castle gates and saw Mu waiting for them.
"What took you so long kid?" Mu asked.
Kira smiled, "I was a little busy."
Mu grinned, "Where are we off to?"
"Head for Allster's estate," Kira said.
Mu knew he couldn't be going to see Flay, "So you nervous kid?"
Kira looked at him, "Is it wrong for a King to be nervous."
Mu laughed, "Most of the time it is, but in this situation I guess it's alright."
Kira looked over to Lacus and helped her on her horse; he got on his and gave the order to open the gate. The gate opened and all three rode out, a few people even noticed and wave to there King which Kira graciously returned. Mu didn't like this Kira riding in his condition so he knew he had to be twice as alert. They continued riding greeting the few people that stopped and waved at them. They finally reached the Allster main estate.
Lacus looked over to Kira and smiled, "Are you sure you want to do this Kira?"
Kira looked at her and smiled, "Yes I am, let's do it."
They rode into the estate with Mu not far behind, Mu really wanted to witness this.
Logos ORB Territory
After getting the message Lord Jibril, knew that Allster would try something soon. He instantly decided that he would leave back to Onogoro tomorrow to see what he planned, and to keep tabs on what the council would be discussing.
Onogoro Allster Estate
Lacus' House
After all saw Lacus they returned back home.
"I wonder when Lacus will come back." Mear asked.
Eileen looked at her, "I am sure she will come see us later."
"I wonder what see saw, and what type of place Josh-a is," Mear said.
Siegel looked at her, "That is all your wondering about."
Eileen looked at him, "Don't tell me you're still going on about that."
Siegel looked at her, "I am just concerned for her safety."
"As I have told you dear Lacus is not a little girl, she can make her own decisions." Eileen told him.
Bill looked at his father, "Yeah Dad, Mr. Kira is really nice."
Siegel looked at him, "Stop calling him by his name he is the King."
"But he said I could call him Kira," Bill replied.
Siegel looked flustered.
"He got you there, now just let the matter go please." Eileen told him.
Mear who was looking out the window quickly turned to her father.
"Well father if you saw the King right know what would you say?" Mear asked with a grin.
Siegel looked at her, "I would…I would see if he truly cared for your sister, and make sure she was no tool." Siegel said proudly.
Mear laughed.
"What's so funny?" Siegel asked.
Mear looked at him, "Well Dad you'll get your chance a lot sooner because he is here."
Siegel immediately looked out the window as did the others.
"Oh boy, what will I do now?" Siegel asked himself out loud.
Eileen looked out the window, "Just look at those two; this will be a lovely meeting."
"Yeah I want to see Kira again," Bill said.
Siegel was getting nervous know. All turned and chuckled when they saw his expression.
With Everybody
Kira and Lacus were inside the estate, walking towards her house. Mu followed behind, but he would wait outside. Lacus found Kira's expression very cute. She saw how brave and strong he was on the battlefield, but his aura seemed like a child's now.
"Kira are you positive you want to do this?" Lacus asked.
Kira looked at her, "I told you I would so let us go."
Lacus laughed to herself she knew he was nervous, but she also knew that he was doing it for her.
Inside the house Siegel felt the same, he was about to meet the man his daughter was seeing, but he was also the King. Eileen found his expression fascinating, but she herself was looking forward to the meeting.
Kira Lacus and Mu stopped right in front of her door.
"Good luck kid," Mu told him as he turned around.
Lacus looked at Kira, "Thank you for doing this again."
Kira looked at her, "Anything for you."
Lacus blushed and opened the door.
Inside the house Siegel was going crazy, he made sure he straightened up his clothes, he yelled at everybody to do the same.
Lacus walked in and revealed Kira with her. Kira stood alongside her as her whole family was waiting by the door. Lacus was about to greet them when everybody noticed strange looks on Lacus' and Kira's faces. They turned around and found Siegel on his knee.
"Father what are you doing?" Lacus asked.
Siegel looked up, "The King is here so I…"
He didn't get a chance to finish as everybody started laughing at his manner. Siegel then quickly stood up.
Lacus looked at all of them, "I would like to introduce…"
"The King," Siegel blurted out.
"Siegel will you let her talk," Eileen said causing Siegel to think he was making a fool out of himself.
Kira found this matter amusing; he could tell Lacus had a real nice family.
"This is Kira, and he is someone I cherish very much." Lacus told him.
Eileen introduced herself first, "It is an honor to meet you Your Majesty."
Kira looked at her, "Please today I am just Kira,"
Eileen smiled, "I can tell my daughter made a nice choice."
Lacus blushed.
Bill remembered him well and instantly went over to him.
"You already met Bill," Lacus told Kira.
Kira knelt down, "I remember well I hope you have been training yourself."
Bill smiled and was agreed.
"My sister Mear," Lacus said.
"I can tell she looks a lot like you," Kira said.
"You're a flatterer; I can tell why Lacus likes you." Mear said.
Lacus gave her a look.
"An honor to meet you," Kira told Mear.
"My youngest sister Rachel," Lacus introduced her.
Rachel was a very quiet person; she just nodded and hid a little behind her mother.
"She is shy," Lacus said.
"That's alright; I sometimes wish my sister was like that." Kira told them.
They found Kira amusing; it was like he was an ordinary person.
"Finally my father," Lacus said.
Siegel stood straight up, "It's a privilege to have His Majesty in my house," Siegel said.
Kira instantly shock his hand, "Please sir, just treat me like you would anyone."
Siegel thought about that, and he was tempted to pick up that offer.
"I will do so Kira," Siegel struggled to say.
Kira smiled.
"Please let us go in the main room," Eileen said.
All followed and they went into the main room, it didn't take long for all of them to start talking normally. Lacus of course leaned up next to Kira as she was listening to her family talk. After about an hour they were really opening up to each other. Rachel really started clinging towards Kira; he was like the big brother she always wanted.
They were all laughing when they were telling their stories.
"Well Kira what made you like my sister?" Mear asked.
Kira looked at her; Siegel was really interested in this.
"When I first saw her, I just felt it," Kira replied.
Mear smiled, "I know, I was there when you two first saw each other."
Kira blushed.
"Then he helped us that very same night," Lacus said as she looked at Kira.
Eileen couldn't help but smile at those two, Siegel still had no expression.
"Well Kira what is it like being a King?" Eileen asked.
Kira looked at her, "It's a lot of hard work and discipline, and I want to rule so the people are happy."
Eileen smiled, "I can say you are doing a wonderful job."
Kira smiled, "That means a lot to hear."
Siegel was tired of being silent.
"I was wondering if I could ask you two personal questions Kira." Siegel said.
Kira looked at him, "You can ask anything sir."
"First I was always wondering why you abolished slavery?" Siegel asked.
Lacus and her family looked at him; they really didn't want him to ask those questions.
Kira looked at him, "Every since I was a child, I saw the suffering slaves went through. I never thought is was right that people had to always do what they were told, I saw first hand how slave masters treated them, and I swore that I would get rid of it.
Siegel was pleased with his response and nodded. Everyone in Lacus' family was also pleased and they said nothing.
"Okay for the second question, why would you choose my daughter, when there she is not of high class?" Siegel asked.
Lacus looked at him angrily.
Kira looked at him, "My mother was forced to marry my father for unitification of ORB, and she was never really happy, so I promised myself that I would only be with somebody that I cared for." Kira told him.
Siegel smiled, "I thank you for your honesty."
Lacus smiled as did everybody else.
The time was going by very fast and it was now night. Kira knew he had to get back to the castle.
The evening was going very well. Kira was sitting there with Lacus when Bill came by them.
"Want me to show you my training?" Bill asked.
Lacus looked at him, "Bill he has to be going."
Kira smiled, "I will watch next time."
Bill got really excited and hugged Kira tightly, however he accidentally pushed on his shoulder, Kira made a small groan which was heard by everybody.
Lacus immediately got worried, but Kira just laughed a little.
Kira instantly got up and helped Lacus to her feet.
"Are you sure it didn't tear again?" Lacus asked in a whisper.
Kira smiled, "No it is fine."
Lacus looked relieved.
Rachel started holding his arm, "You will be back right Mr. Kira?"
Kira smiled, "I knew you could talk, and yes I will come back again."
They walked toward the door, and Kira stopped to say goodbye to everybody.
Eileen looked at him, "I'm glad to have met you and I hope to see you again soon, and I am glad you care for my daughter."
Kira smiled, "Thank you."
Siegel approached him, "As am I, It's a great honor to us and I thank you for caring about Lacus."
Kira shuck his and thanked him.
"Come back soon," Bill and Rachel both shouted to him.
Kira smiled and agreed.
"I thank you both for your kindness and I hope to see you again soon," Kira said as he and Lacus walked out.
Eileen looked at Siegel, "You see now dear, he truly cares for her."
Siegel smiled, "I agree."
Outside Lacus' House
Kira and Lacus were both holding each others hands.
"You see Kira I knew they would love you," Lacus told him.
Kira smiled, "You were right, I suspect you will stay here tonight."
Lacus smiled, "Yes I wish to spend a little more time with them, I will see you tomorrow."
Kira frowned, "That is a lot of time My Lady, but I guess I will have to make due with out you somehow." Kira jokingly pouted.
Lacus smiled, "I guess we will have to make this last then," Lacus said as her and Kira instantly showered each other with an extremely passionate kiss.
From the window her family saw everything and Siegel couldn't watch anymore, he didn't want his daughter to grow up. Eileen smiled she thought it was very sweet, as did Mear. Rachel and Bill were grossed out.
After about ten minutes they broke there kiss.
"I hope that will last," Lacus said.
Kira looked at her, "It will for about a minute."
Lacus giggled, "What time should I see you tomorrow?"
Kira looked at her, "Just come at about noon, I should have finished the councils meeting by then."
Lacus smiled, "Then I shall be there."
Kira instantly held his shoulder.
Lacus looked worried, "Kira please have that looked at again…for me."
Kira smiled, "As I told you I could never deny your request."
Lacus smiled and they kissed again this was short and Kira left and got on his horse.
Kira gave one last look at her and rode out of the estate.
Unknown to Lacus her whole family noticed Kira tend to his shoulder.
She watched him leave with a huge smile on her face.
Up in the main estate Flay also saw everything.
"Just wait until tomorrow slave girl," Flay told herself.
