Chapter Seventy
Wedding
ORB
As the day of the wedding came the people throughout ORB were aware of this day, the people that could, from all villages and cities, even the new ORB area of Oceania, people came to the capitol of Onogoro to share the best they could in this event. There would be celebrations in every town and city.
The three major cities did their best to celebrate the occasion. There was massive celebration throughout the city of Boaz and Josh-a, even with their leaders attending they were still going to celebrate. There was small yet concise celebration in Logos, but it was a mostly still a pro-slave city that hated the new laws and despised the act of the King marring a former one, but that was not all the people.
The villages and towns were also doing their best to celebrate, as people would gather at the exact moment the wedding was scheduled to begin and celebrate. The newly formed ORB area of Oceania was doing the same thing, for their new leader. The knights that had to guard the borders and that were at their base camps would do something as well.
The whole country was going to celebrate this occasion the best they could.
Onogoro
Throughout the streets the people were all either preparing for the celebrations, or they were patiently waiting for the moment when they could see the new royal couple return to the castle. The town was extremely lively and business was booming around making the merchants and shop owners very happy. The wedding was scheduled for the afternoon, and they still had some time to go. It was a real pleasant aura around the city.
The final arrivals had arrived as well, and that was the Oceania unit captain and a few knights that now bore the ORB symbol. This was the first time they saw the city and they couldn't believe the sight of it, the city was far bigger than what they had ever expected, they were invited to both the wedding and the reception, but at first they just wanted to look around the city.
Lacus' Families Mansion
After the return of Kira a week ago, Lacus' family had been preparing for the wedding. Bill and Rachel were extremely excited for this wedding, especially Rachel since she would get to be the flower girl. Mear was looking forward to this as well, she was glad her oldest sister was finally able to be happy. The only people who were both looking forward to and dreading this moment were Siegel and Eileen. Siegel was happy for his daughter and he support this marriage, but Lacus was always going to be his little girl. However he knew he was leaving her in very good hands, with Kira. Eileen already started fighting the tears, she could not be happier for her daughter.
All of them were getting ready early as Eileen wanted to see her before the ceremony, as did Mear and Rachel. Siegel decided he would wait as long as possible, he was happy but he wanted to hold on to her as long as possible, so he decided to take Bill to the cathedral and they would wait for the wedding to begin.
Once again they were getting ready with the clothes they had chosen, and they were far fancier than what they wore at the ball. Mear and the rest of the siblings were once again ready before their parents as Siegel and Eileen wanted everything to be perfect for Lacus' wedding.
Mear and Rachel were dressed in fairly similar clothes; they each wore a stunning dress that was a dark shade of pink. They knew Lacus loved that color and they wanted to do it for her. Bill was wearing a garment that would match his fathers. They were all ready and once again awaiting on their parents.
Siegel and Eileen were once again taking their sweet time in getting ready, more Siegel than Eileen. Eileen wore a dress that was like her two youngest daughters but it had an extra shade of light blue in it. Siegel was finally able to prepare his garments that were exactly like his sons. Eileen was prepared to head to the castle but she noticed Siegel seemed to be daydreaming. Eileen approached him.
"Are you alright?" She asked.
Siegel looked at her, "I can't believe this day is here, when she was born I never even thought she would be able to have a proper wedding considering what we were."
Eileen smiled as she remembered that slaves were not allowed to properly marry, as they never had a wedding, and it almost brought a tear to her eyes knowing their children would be able to marry.
Eileen looked at him, "Things have changed, and I am glad they did, she really deserves everything she has, she is marrying a wonderful man who loves her, and she will soon be our Queen."
Siegel smiled, "I know that, I can finally let her go," Siegel said.
Eileen smiled, "Your right, now lets get going, I want to see her before the wedding."
Siegel smiled, "I will take Bill and we will leave you ladies alone, I will see her in the cathedral, I want to be able to hold out as long as possible."
Eileen chuckled, "I will tell her, now let's go." Eileen said as Siegel followed her.
They went down the stairs and saw all their children waiting for them, they smiled and soon all of them left the house. Eileen and the rest of them had a carriage that would take them to the castle; the other one that was sent over was for Siegel and Bill as they would head straight to the Cathedral.
Castle
People in the castle were going just as crazy with the final preparations; they wanted to make sure everything was perfect. The chiefs had been preparing a major feast for the reception later; the maids were making final decorations and cleaning to the ballroom where this reception would be held. The royal guard was already in their positions; they were going to make sure nothing happened here like it did at the ball. Most guards never left their positions while others were patrolling the castle making sure no one would seek in.
Cagalli and Via were also starting to get ready for this wedding, they stopped by and saw Lacus earlier and they could tell she was beyond happy. They spent some time talking with her and after that they wanted to give her a little time to herself.
Cagalli and Via left to prepare to leave.
In her chambers Via was preparing for this wedding as she and Murrue were having a conversation like they did when they had the ball.
Murrue was wearing a dress that was a lot like Via's but different; it was dark blue and looked very fancy. Via would eventually wear a blue one with a few shades of pink in it. Murrue was already prepared as she was waiting for Via to finish so they could head to the wedding.
"Are you alright My Lady?" Murrue asked.
Via finished and walked out, "I will be fine, I am just finally glad this day is here," she said as she had to wipe away a tear.
Murrue smiled.
Via looked at her, "I am beyond proud of Kira, and I am honored to have Lacus as my new daughter, I can finally relax knowing both of my children will be happy."
Murrue smiled again, "We should get going My Lady."
Via smiled, "Alright let's go."
They said as they started leaving heading for the castle, Lacus and Kira were going to arrive separately. Each one had to arrive at the cathedral at different times. Via and Murrue knew Lacus was probably with her family now and wanted to give them some time so they left for the cathedral. Via and Murrue were going to ride with Cagalli, and Merna.
Athrun and Nicol were already ready and they had to do a few things first. The former Oceania captain arrived and was walking with them. They were going to head for the cathedral but Athrun wanted to check in on Kira. Each one was wearing their commanders garments with both their squads symbol and ORB's symbol. The captain had just ORB's symbol and the former Oceania symbol as it was now his unit's symbol.
"Nicol, will you take the captain to the cathedral, I will check in and ride with Kira to the cathedral," Athrun told them.
Nicol and the captain smiled as they agreed, and left heading to the cathedral.
Athrun was going to head Kira's chambers, but first he wanted to check in on Cagalli. When he reached her chambers he heard her arguing with Merna. Athrun was being devious and he opened the door revealing Cagalli in her green dress and his heart was going crazy. Merna and Cagalli were arguing because she didn't like the dress. Athrun smiled as he saw that and it was noticed.
"What are you smiling about?" Cagalli asked.
Athrun looked at her, "You look great."
Cagalli blushed, and Merna knew she wouldn't say anymore. Athrun and Cagalli shared a few words and soon a quick kiss, as they had to get going, after Cagalli left Merna gave Athrun a thank you look and those two quickly left to the carriage that would take them to the cathedral.
Athrun kept walking until he reached Kira's chambers.
Mu on the other hand was already at the cathedral and back at the castle, he was traveling the route Kira would take the whole time, and he had to return to escort Kira to the cathedral. Kira insisted he take Mu and a few royal guards as his escort and leave Lacus with the majority of the guard, Mu objected but he knew he wouldn't change Kira's mind. He was wearing his regular armor and garments as he would be working mostly the whole time, but he was looking forward to hitting the booze later.
Mu finally returned to the castle and was waiting for Kira to arrive at the gate so he could escort him.
Cathedral
As Mu wanted and check a few hundred times the cathedral was well secured, they had knights in all positions and patrolling constantly. The cathedral was set up and decorated nicely. It had to opposing doors in the back that aisle's connected with the main aisle leading to the front where the reverend would perform the ceremony. Kira and Lacus would each come out one door in the back and meet in the center walking down the main aisle to the reverend. The rings were already up at front still under heavy guard.
The first ones to arrive at this cathedral were the reverend, followed by Siegel and Bill. They would sit in the first row along with the rest of their family on the left side. The second row was reserved for Lacus' friends and some of the orphanage staff and some of the children. On the right side front row was where Kira's main family of Via, Cagalli and Athrun, and Merna would be seated. In the second row would be the honored guests such as Mu, Murrue, Nicol and the Oceania captain. Each of these rows would be double guarded. Each row on back was the invited guests from around the country.
Each row had one knight on each side and each isle would have a knight placed four feet apart. Knights surrounded the outside and Mu was satisfied with the results. Kira's main horse Tori was already brought and standing in the ready. The royal guard that would escort both Kira and Lacus would take positions behind and in front of the horse making sure they would be well guarded for the return to the castle.
As soon as Siegel arrived he was greeted by the reverend and he just sat back to take all this in.
Outside
As the time was drawing near more and more people started gathering around the path Kira would take and more people wanted to get any glimpse of whoever they could. The streets were packed but they were surrounded by an entire unit of Onogoro's units to make sure the people couldn't rush on the streets. As the invited guests started arriving all of them took their assigned seats as pre-instructed, and the cathedral filled up fast. One of the last of the regulars to arrive were all three of Lacus' friends as she invited each of them. Miriallia had to drag both Tolle and Kuzzy to this event. When they arrived at the cathedral the guards checking the invitations cleared them and they walked in. Another guard escorted them to where they would sit and they took their seats right behind where Lacus' family was going to sit but Siegel and Bill weren't in front of them at the moment.
When it was critically close to the wedding the main carriages started to arrive, the first carried Nicol and the Oceania captain. They were greeted and led to the assigned seats.
The people saw the next carriage arriving and it was a main one carrying Via, Cagalli, Murrue, and Merna had arrived. As they stepped out the people were a ways away but they still waved to them and they returned it. As they walked up the steps a guard knew exactly who they were and took them straight to their seats. All guards stood ready as they walked by and when they reached there seats they sat down and waited.
It was then one of the important ones arrived.
Onogoro Castle
Kira's Chambers
Kira was starting to get nervous, in fact he was feeling it all day, this was the day he was looking forward to and he was sweating bullets. Kira was able to get ready himself as his hands were shaking a little from the nervousness. Kira wore the new royal garments he had made. They carried ORB's colors of white and blue. He had a special cape made, not to long because he wouldn't be able to ride. It had ORB's symbol on it, but it was outlined in pure gold, this thing would cost more than a hundred people would see in a life time. Kira always wore his sword and today would be no exception as it was strapped to his side. He wore his small head piece, nothing to big since he hated those things, and he was ready. After he was ready a few maids entered and made sure to finish everything for him, he would normally do this himself but he wanted to be perfect for this day so he allowed it. They did their job well and left him to himself so he could think.
Kira watched him leave and he sat down on his chair and went into deep thought that was until Athrun came in.
Athrun entered the room, "Kira, you ready?"
Kira looked at him, "Yes I am."
Athrun walked in, "Everybody has left, and we should get going as well."
Kira smiled, "I know, I just want to take this in."
Athrun smiled, "You stalling?"
Kira looked at him and smiled again, "You will understand when you marry my sister."
Athrun quickly looked at him, "I suppose your right, but we should get going."
Kira stood up, "Your right, nothing could be better at the moment, but we had better go."
Athrun noticed Kira started acting strange, and he could tell it was from being nervous, and Athrun just hoped he wouldn't pass out or anything.
Kira walked right past him and started down the hall, Athrun slowly followed and they walked right out of the castle and into the carriage, that would take them to the cathedral, when they walked out Mu noticed Kira was acting a little strange, and he thought the same thing as Athrun. Kira and Athrun boarded the carriage and it slowly left, Athrun decided to leave Kira alone, for the moment, and little was said, but Athrun knew once he saw her he would return to normal.
Lacus' temporary Chambers
Lacus was pretty much in the same shape as Kira, if not a little more nervous. She as well spent most of the day alone, with the acceptation of Merna waking her almost in tears; she knew Merna wouldn't be able to go the whole wedding without crying. Lacus awoke and politely asked to be left alone for awhile, Merna smiled and granted her wish. After awhile, Cagalli and Via came to see her, and what her future mother in law said nearly drove her to tears, as she told her she was proud and honored to have her as her new daughter. Cagalli gave her words of encouragement as well and they to left her alone.
Once they left Lacus looked at her dress from that was just delivered to her moments before her visit and she smiled widely. It was a perfect shade of white, with traces of pink around the bottom, she placed it on and looked at herself in the mirror and smiled widely, never did she ever think she could wear something like this. As she looked at herself, the maids and servants came in to assist her, like with Kira she wanted everything to be perfect for this so she let them do it. About three of them were working on her hair, while others placed the jewelry on her, others helped with other matters. While they were doing that, Lacus' mother and sisters walked in. Lacus smiled as they saw her.
As soon as they walked in Rachel rushed up to her, as Mear slowly approached her admiring her elder sister. Eileen was almost reduced to tears as she saw her. Rachel was talking about a hundred words per minute and Lacus was answering her the best she could, but a lot of people were working on her. As soon as they were done they bowed and left her with her family.
Mear decided to tease her, "They bow to you now, well considering in a few hours you will be a Queen, but I will never do that to you."
Lacus smiled, "I don't expect that from you."
"You look pretty," Rachel told her.
Lacus looked down at her and thanked, and returned the comment.
Lacus looked over to her mother, "You aren't going to cry, are you mother? If you do I might start, which means they will have to work on me again."
Eileen smiled at her, "I promise to at least hold it until the ceremony," Eileen said as she looked at her more closely, and walked up to gently hug her, "You don't now how proud your father and I are of you, we can finally let you go," Eileen said.
Lacus smiled, "I owe it all to both of you, you have always been great parents to us," Lacus said as Mear nodded.
"We only took you so far Lacus, the rest you did yourself," Eileen said.
Lacus smiled again, they kept speaking with each other when there was some commotion in the hall and Lacus knew it was Kira leaving to head to the cathedral. As they heard that a maid entered.
"My Lady, you're scheduled to leave in ten minutes, we just have to wait for His Majesty to depart," The maid told her.
Lacus smiled, "Thank you we are ready now."
The maid bowed, "Yes My Lady, I will retrieve you in a few minutes," she said as she shut the door.
Lacus and her family waited and soon after the door reopened and they knew it was time, all got up, and Eileen did the honors of placing the vale on her head, she did that and hugged her one last time, after their hug they retreated to the carriage that was waiting and it was taken to the cathedral.
Cathedral
Outside
One of the main carriages arrived and it was Kira, Kira and Athrun walked out and the people went crazy, Mu got down off his horse and the guards all knelt in front of Kira for a second, and then took him towards the back doors. Kira would go in alone, as Athrun and Mu had to take their seats, but there was plenty of security.
"Good luck kid," Mu said.
"Don't pass out," Athrun added.
Kira smiled, "I just want to thank you both for being here it means a lot to us," Kira said.
As Mu and Athrun nodded, after that he walked in the back doors and the guards lead him to another room, and shut the door behind him, this is the room he would enter from and meet Lacus half way.
Kira walked in and now all that he had to do was wait for the moment for it to start, the guard standing by the door would get a knock from the one outside the door and they would then open the doors and he would walk out.
Back at the main entrance Athrun and Mu walked in and took their assigned seats, Cagalli scooted up next to Athrun and awaited for it to begin. Mu sat besides Murrue and smiled widely but she was purposely ignoring him, but Mu knew he was wearing her down.
Back outside the other main carriage arrived carrying the bride. The carriage doors opened and the people at the front went crazy, but the guards immediately surrounded her so no one could really see her, they immediately led her in the other side doors where when they walked in Lacus saw her father and younger brother.
Siegel smiled as he saw her, he walked up and hugged her gently, "You have made us all proud Lacus, now go and be happy," Siegel told her as Lacus smiled widely.
They did their final goodbyes and soon Lacus was in the situation Kira was in as she waited for the doors to open.
Back at the main entrance Siegel and his family left the back room and walked back in the main entrance, taking their assigned positions with the exception of Rachel who was going to be the flower girl.
Everybody was now in their assigned seats and the reverend was at the front and he gave the signal to begin.
Inside the wedding begins
As soon as the reverend gave the signal the instruments sounded and the guards gave the knocks on the two doors and the guards inside opened them. Everybody stood up as they waited for the two to enter.
Kira's door was opened and he took a deep breath and began walking out.
Lacus's door was opened and she did the same thing and walked out.
The crowd was amazed at how the two looked, but not as amazed as Kira and Lacus.
Kira stared at her as he approached her and smiled gently, she was absolutely stunning, Lacus did the same thing and both their hearts were going a mile an hour.
When they were about half way to each other Rachel began going down the main aisle placing the flower pedals.
Kira and Lacus had their eyes on each other the whole time and when they were in distance Kira gently raised his hand out to her and she took it gently, Kira raised her hand up and she interlocked it in his arm. They both smiled widely as they began walking down the aisle but they didn't say a word, no words needed to be said at the moment.
Everybody smiled widely as they watched the two approaching the front. Merna lost it already and Cagalli and Athrun were beyond happy for him, Via as well was starting to lose it and she was about to cry.
Eileen was in the same position, as the rest of the guests were smiling widely.
As soon as they reached the front they stopped and Lacus released her arm and they took both of their hands and placed them in the others facing each other.
The reverend smiled and began the ceremony. He was reading a few traditions and then got to the most important parts.
"We have the rings please," he said as the rings were brought up to each of them. They were still wearing their pendants and this was going to make them whole.
Kira and Lacus each took the ring in their hands.
"You may exchange your vows," reverend Malchio told them.
Kira began as he placed the ring hear her finger.
"From the moment I saw you, when I first returned that fated day, I knew you were the one, my heart would not let me forget when you disappeared from my sight that day, I found you again, only to have my heart tell me again you were the one, as we spent more and more time together it was confirmed to me, I love you with everything I am Lacus, class has never been an issue, you saved me from myself on countless occasions, you are the reason I have to live, you are my heart and soul, I will always keep my promise to you, no matter what happens in the future we will face it as one," Kira said as he placed the ring on her finger.
Lacus felt the tears go down her cheek after that, but she wasn't the only one, Eileen, Via and Merna lost it completely, when Eileen glanced at Siegel he started as well, he could finally say Kira would take care of her from now on.
Lacus recovered fast as she placed the ring near his finger.
"I knew it as well the moment I saw you, I was going to leave early that day, but my heart told me to stay, when you vanished that day, I knew we would meet again, and my wish was granted that night, our first words made me realize it even more, as we spent more time together the feeling kept growing deeper, you have never been just a King to me, you were always the man I loved, I loved you from the moment I saw you and I will love you until our final days, on that fateful day you were hit taking an arrow for me, apart of me died right their, you kept your promise to me and now I will make a few to you, I will always stay by your side, whatever happens we will face it together, we will no longer be separate, we will become one. Whatever happens from here on I will always give you my love and support, you are everything to me Kira," Lacus said as she slipped the ring on his finger.
Kira smiled widely as they remained looking in each others eyes.
A lot more in the room seemed to get chocked up as the reverend began again.
"By my power under the scared ORB law, you may kiss your bride," Malchio said.
Kira smiled and removed the vale looking into Lacus's eyes, they slowly brought their faces together and kissed each other, but it grew a little more passionate, but they didn't want to lose control of themselves here, so they slowly backed away, their eyes never leaving the other. The crowd clapped loudly as they did that, but that was not the last part, now they had to do one last thing.
Kira looked into Lacus' eyes, as he removed his sword from the sheath and held the blade face down to the floor, Lacus placed her hand on his as Kira used his other one to place hers and she repeated it, after that the reverend spoke the ceremony words crowning Lacus the next Queen, she took a series of extra vows.
"Do you solely swear to honor the traditions, and customs as this countries Queen?" the reverend asked her.
Lacus never took her eyes off of Kira's, "I do."
Kira smiled and the reverend continued, "Lacus Clyne Yamato, you are hereby to be known as Queen Lacus Yamato."
Lacus smiled and she and Kira kissed again, as this was tradition for all newly Queens, the crowd roared again and they slowly parted from their kiss.
Reverend Malchio smiled again and looked at the crowd, "I now present the King and Queen of ORB."
They said as all were on their feet now as the horns sounded again, Kira and Lacus smiled as they started making their way out of the cathedral. Mu had to go back to work and he followed behind, the rest of the main guests would have to wait to be taken to the castle as Kira and Lacus would now ride to the castle, and this is where Mu would be the most alert.
City
As soon as they walked out of the cathedral the crowd outside was able to see them and they went crazy, and the word spread fast throughout the city as people started celebrating.
Kira and Lacus approached Tori and Kira took off his cape and through it to Mu, he climbed on his horse and gently pulled Lacus up to him, Kira was relieved her dress wasn't big or this would cause them some problems, Lacus sat directly in front of him, as he placed an arm around her waist and the other on controlling Tori, Lacus leaned back into him and placed her head on his chest.
Mu got on his horse and the royal guard was ready, Kira quickly kissed Lacus on her cheek and they began to ride out with the guard and Mu all around them.
Back at the cathedral entrance all figures watched and they couldn't be happier for the bride and groom. Siegel lost it and Eileen had to hold him together, some of the others cried as well. They were getting into their carriages waiting to head to the reception at the castle but it would have to wait until Kira and Lacus made it through the city.
Kira and Lacus started riding towards the castle and the people were showering them with confetti, Mu and the guards were on high alert as this was going on.
People were waving and smiling, and Kira and Lacus returned their jesters the best they could. Kira held Lacus tighter as she just leaned closer to him.
The city was grateful that the two of them did this, they shared this with them, and it really made the people happy. As they slowly rode they finally reached the castle. The guards at the castle opened the gates and they rode in.
Kira and Lacus were finally married and they couldn't be happier, but they had to quickly change to head to the reception, they quickly did that, and Kira wore clothing like he did at the ball, but still with his sword. Lacus changed into a small version of her dress, much like what she wore at the ball, this way they could dance and have fun. As they finished dressing, Kira and Lacus met up and kissed again as they headed down to the ballroom, for the reception.
The carriages arrived not soon after Kira and Lacus, they headed straight for the ballroom, Mu and the guard shifted positions as they started helping with the reception guards. Mu however was about to leave things to his men, as there was no way he was going to be sober throughout the night.
Reception
The guests arrived in the ballroom to see they had a giant tables set up; they couldn't have the dinner in the main dinning room because there were too many. The guests had assigned seating and they were being escorted to their seats. There were was a main table set up at the front that would sit Kira and Lacus on one side and their families on the other. The others were for the ordinary guests.
All guests were seated and the main ones started to arrive, it was Lacus' family first and they were seated at the top table. Kira's family arrived next and they were seated as well. The two families were seated and all that they needed to do was await Kira and Lacus. That moment came sooner than they expected as the back doors opened and Kira and Lacus were led into the ballroom.
Kira and Lacus arrived at the main doors leading into the ballroom; the servant bowed and opened the doors leading in to make the announcement.
Kira looked over to Lacus and the smile on her face was enough to make him happy, he always wanted to make sure her smile remained. Lacus looked over to him and the two shared a quick kiss, and then they were announced.
The guests in the ballroom turned their heads to the main door when it opened; the servant walked out and introduced them as the King and Queen.
Kira and Lacus walked out and the crowd all stood up and clapped, Kira and Lacus smiled and began their walk down the stairs leading to their spot. They smiled and waved at the people and as soon as they reached their seat Kira helped Lacus to her seat and then sat in his own, followed by all the guests.
As soon as they were seated the servants brought out the food to the guests so they could begin eating, Kira and Lacus talked amongst themselves and among their family members. Kira looked around and to no surprise he found Mu hitting the booze, he had to laugh as he knew what the outcome would be.
After the dinner, Nicol took his spot so he could play with the orchestra, while Kira and Lacus greeted the other guests never leaving each others side. The tables were quickly removed so they could begin the dancing, as the orchestra began Kira and Lacus knew they had to begin their solo dance. Kira and Lacus smiled at each other and headed to the middle of the dance floor, they took their spots and began the dance. The people looked on at awe, Kira and Lacus were in perfect unison with each other like they were at everything, but how they looked at each other made them believe they would always be happy.
As the dance came to its conclusion, the crowd began to join in; Siegel approached and wanted to have a dance with his daughter while Kira agreed. Kira bowed and did the same with his new mother in law.
Athrun took over with Cagalli, while Mu was still able to move straight and he asked Murrue, who surprisingly agreed, they joined in as well as a lot of the others.
As Kira danced with his mother in law she wanted to thank him again.
"Thank you for making her happy, I know you will always do so," Eileen told him.
Kira smiled, "It works both ways whatever I give to her she always returns to me."
Eileen smiled, as the dance finished.
Siegel was in conversation with his daughter and wanted one more dance; Kira took this opportunity to dance with his own mother.
As the next one began both were having deep conversations.
"I have never seen you this happy my son," Via told him.
Kira smiled, "I can truly say I have everything now."
Via smiled, "You're the one that deserves it the most, I know she will make you happy."
Kira smiled and they continued.
Siegel was talking with Lacus as they went through the dance.
"I am now finally able to let you go Lacus, I want to say again how proud your mother and I are of you," Siegel told her.
Lacus smiled, "I am happy now father, you and mother have always done your best, and I will be fine."
Siegel smiled, "That is all we ever wanted was for you and the others to be happy."
Lacus smiled again, "I am, and will always be happy." Lacus said as the song ended.
Siegel and Lacus broke apart and walked over to Kira who broke his dance with his mother. They talked for a second and Kira and Lacus were once again back together, and for the rest of the dances that was how they were, they never separated the rest of the time.
As the reception was ending Kira and Lacus bid farewell to all the guests who were retreating, the last ones were their families and it wasn't long before Kira and Lacus were the only ones left, with the exception of Mu who was on top of one of the buffet tables knocked out cold. They laughed a little and stared at each other for a second, until they started heading upstairs. As they were heading up Kira picked up Lacus and she blushed like mad, and smiled.
Kira looked at her, "Well my Queen, how does it feel to be married?"
Lacus blushed and wrapped her arms around Kira's neck, "I feel the same as you, my King," Lacus said as she leaned up and kissed him passionately. Kira was surprised but he returned it, after a few minutes they finally reached the main hallway leading to the chambers.
They broke their kiss and once again stared into each others eyes.
"I guess you're happy to be married," Kira said jokingly.
Lacus leaned up and whispered into his ear, "I will show you how I feel," she said as Kira's eyes went big and they kissed again.
They reached Kira's chambers and he lightly kicked the door open and Lacus used one hand to shut it behind them.
Next Morning
The sun shined in to reveal two forms asleep in the room, Lacus laid on her side with her head rested on Kira's chest and an arm across him holding her hand in his. Kira had one arm around her shoulder and the other holding her hand. Kira awoke first as he observed his wife still asleep, Kira used his free hand and lightly stroked her hair, and he placed a kiss on the top of her head. This caused Lacus to stir and wake up, as she awoke she remember the nights events and smiled as she looked up to see Kira awake and smiling down at her.
"I'm sorry I woke you," Kira told her lightly as he kissed her forehead.
Kira smiled, "I'm glad you did," she replied as she leaned and kissed him passionately, after a few minutes they slowly back away and looked into each others eyes.
"We will finally start our lives together," Lacus told him softly.
Kira smiled, "Yes, and whatever comes we will always face it together," Kira told her as they once again kissed.
They were finally happy, ZAFT was so far practically defenseless, and they finally believed they would be able to stay happy, and they would…for now.
The End…Sequel will be up soon.
(AN): I hope you enjoyed this story, a lot of questions still remain, but the sequel should answer a lot of them. Gil puts into action his new plan, ORB civil war, more trials for Kira and Lacus, and probably an old arranged ex-fiancée of Kira's will make her appearance as well. I will work on my other story for awhile and then I will begin on the sequel. Once again I hope you enjoyed this story and thanks for reading. Until the sequel…See you later.
