I finally managed to carve out some time to work on this, hope you all like it!
I do not own anything.
For all the joy and celebration there was when Crown Prince Ryoma of Hoshido proposed to High Princess Camilla of Nohr everyone knew it was going to be a political and social nightmare once the night ended and everyone had to return to their daily lives. Though no one wanted to talk much about it everyone knew it in the back of their minds, especially the soon to be king and queen of Hoshido. For the moment though they were content to simply enjoy the night as was everyone else. That was what the celebration had originally been for, to enjoy the peace they'd gone to Valla and fought the Silent Dragon for. As the night of festivities and partying winded down everyone slowly began to retreat to their assigned quarters for the night. One by one the guests would return to their respective homes in the morning when dawn broke.
The process would be slightly different for the newest royal couple for a number of reasons. First off Ryoma had to stand before the Nohrian royal family, Corrin included, and ask for their permission to wed the woman who'd been a surrogate mother to all of them. Despite facing death countless times and walking away with his life Ryoma could feel himself silently shaking as the group of four watched him with deadly focused eyes. It didn't help that the crowd had put any plans they had on hold to stay and watch.
Not so surprisingly Elise was the first to respond. "Of course you guys have my permission!" She said running into the arms of Camilla who happily took up her little sister. She turned in her arms beaming at Ryoma. "Ryoma, you're one of the strongest and nicest people I've ever known, I know you'll treat my sister right, but if you don't…" She let the threat hang in the air as she tried her hardest to give the samurai a death stare with…arguable results. Corrin was the first to break followed by Leo, then Xander, and before Elise knew it almost everyone was laughing. "Ah come on, I tried to be scary for once! I did everything you said Camilla!"
"In a few more years dear," Camilla giggled while Ryoma attempted to silence his own snickering. "Give it some time and I'm sure you'll have the family death glare mastered."
Discarded her momentary sadness she turned back to Ryoma reaching out her pinky. "Ryoma, promise me you'll make my sister happy. Please?"
"You have my word Princess Elise." He immediately responded wrapping his pinky around hers with a gentle smile on his face.
Jumping out of Camilla's arms Elise gave her soon-to-be brother-in-law a heartwarming hug before falling back in line. Leo stepped forward next looking rather comfortable. From her place with the Hoshidan siblings Sakura giggled at her husband's sudden shyness. He still had a hard time accepting heavy praise as well as being the center of attention to a crowd. Takumi took the time to savior seeing his Nohrian counterpart squirm a little.
"I, well, there's not much left to say after Elise-"
"Hey, I didn't say too much." The younger sibling playfully jabbed.
Leo looked like he wanted to say something snarky in response, but the words died when he heard Camilla's giggling. Looking at Xander for guidance all he got was a half-smile pushing him to say his piece. Taking a deep breath he turned around fully facing the new couple. "Lord Ryoma, I would be honored if a man such as yourself were to wed my sister, she is a just and noble woman as I'm sure you already know." Like a drop of a pin the blonde's eyes went deadly serious as they zeroed in on Ryoma's. "Treat her right or else I swear on my pride as a prince of Nohr I will hunt you down and bury you within the earth's cold embrace where maggots will feast upon your flesh."
If a cricket were to chirp it would have been heard.
Amazingly Ryoma seemed undeterred. Another feat of his seemingly fearsome iron will that made him a force to be reckoned with on and off the battlefield. "I understand, and you have my word it will not come to that."
"Good, then welcome to the family." Leo said with a happy smile before retreating. Several sets of eyes remained on him for a few minutes until Xander coughed once returning the mood to normal.
Corrin stepped up next, it was clear to see he had some tears in his eyes as he gazed at the two people who'd been surrogate parents to him through the hardest parts of his life. "I…I'm gonna skip the death threats since Leo seems to have them covered, besides, I know I won't need them. I'm happy for you two and wish you both a long happy life."
"Oh Corrin!" Old habits broke through and the next thing the white-haired dragon-human hybrid knew he was in marshmallow hell, again. Ryoma joined in with a laugh wrapping his arms around the two of them.
It was a good thing Corrin's face was obscured from the view of the public, he didn't want everyone seeing the few tears running down his face. They were tears of both relief and of joy. When Camilla finally released him he quickly wiped his eyes not wanting the people to see the King of Valla looking too emotional. He already knew his wife would have him figured out when they retreated in for the night. With his piece said he stepped back allowing Xander to step forward. If Leo's speech had shocked the audience into silence then Corrin feared what Xander would do. While everyone knew the eldest prince of Nohr was quite reasonable when it came to his family, hell hath no fury like Nohr's Black Knight.
Straightening up Xander faced the two with a deadly serious face and a straight frown. "Camilla, there have been times I worried about you. Though you have always done the worrying for all of us it never stopped us from worrying about you. I worried you'd never be able to find happiness with someone you loved." The frown broke into a small smile that mad Camilla want to run up and hug her brother. "I'm incredibly happy I no longer have to worry about that." That same smile fell on Ryoma who felt himself relax a little. "Ryoma, though our first meeting was far from pleasant you were a man I respected. In time I can say I could call you a friend, now I trust you enough to call my brother. I could think of no better man to be my sister's husband." He finished.
"Thank you Xander." Ryoma said honestly touched by the paladin's words.
"But if you make her cry even once I can assure you not all the blades in Hoshido will keep me from hunting you down." He added with that same smile.
"Noted." Ryoma answered keeping his own peacefully expression.
With that taken care of countless audience members breathed out a sigh of relief; again, money was exchanged between hands and whispers were spoken into turned ears.
As much as Camilla would have liked for things to end there she knew marriage was a two-way streak. Turning to face the Hoshidan royals she stepped up bowing her head respectfully. "I feel it's only fair to ask Hoshido's ruling nobles if I may wed their oldest."
Naturally Hinoka was the first to respond. Just like Elise she pulled the wavy-haired girl into a warm hug. "Welcome to the family Camilla."
"Thank you Hinoka."
"Just be sure to treat our brother right and make sure he remembers to eat." She laughed pulling away with a laugh rising from the audience.
Now the tables had turned and Takumi found himself the next up. His characteristic shyness creeped up as Camilla shot him that all too-knowing smile. Out of the corner of his eye he could have sworn he saw Leo snickering into his hand. Summoning up the courage he opened his mouth and spoke, "I…never…will, I…" He looked to Ryoma who was giving him a more understanding smile, one he always knew and could take solace in. "Camilla, as second prince of the Kingdom of Hoshido I hereby entrust my brother to you. Please, take good care of him."
The smile went from teasing to honest as the Wyvern rider straightened up. "You have my word Takumi, I will always remain by his side until my dying breath."
With a firm nod of the head he stepped back in line where his blue-haired retainer turned-wife and retainer turned brother-in-law was waiting for him. Both were eager to congratulate him on holding it together. Alongside Leo he gentle pushed Sakura forward so she could stand between her brother and Camilla.
Takumi's shyness was nothing compared to Sakura, who was visibly shaking in her feet having all the attention on her. Still, like her brother she gathered up the courage and embrace both Ryoma and Camilla. Automatically both adults wrapped their arms around her causing more than a few onlookers to tear up a little. "You two are…well, perfect for each other." She started trying to find the right words to express the overwhelming feelings she was experiencing. "Both of you are some of the strongest, but kindest people I've ever known so I know that Ryoma will make a good king, and Camilla, I know you'll make a great queen." Those words nearly brought tears to Camilla's eyes but she held them in knowing Sakura wasn't finished. "That is why I also know when the time comes…you two will make great parents."
That was the last straw, like Corrin before her Sakura found herself swept up in a joyful hug by her soon to be sister-in-law, though she enjoyed the experience having gotten used to it. Finally Azura was left, looking close to tears herself looking between her two older siblings.
"I…can't really say anything that hasn't already been said." She sighed unsure of how to go on. Shyly looking up to smile at the two she gently took both of their hands. "Both of you…have been through a lot, both of you have shouldered much yet sheltered those around you, me included." Softly she intertwined both their hands allowing a single tear to roll down her cheek. "You deserve this happiness, you two deserve each other."
"Azura," Camilla said genuinely touched by her stepsister's heartfelt words.
"Thank you." Ryoma echoed also happy to hear she approved of their union. "If it's not too much trouble, would you mind singing for us when the time comes?"
"It would be my honor Ryoma." Azura said gracefully bowing out then dissolving back into the row of assembled royals.
As the crowd around them erupted into more cheers Corrin and Xander found themselves standing side by side once again. Xander said nothing as his younger brother's face became streaked with held back tears his wife took notice of and cleaned off. "I never thought I'd live to see this day." The blond king softly spoke.
"I don't think any of us did, getting married, watching others marry, planning for the future, when we were young all those things seemed so…out of reach." Corrin admitted finally having the strength to look up. "I'm happy for them."
"As am I Corrin." Xander smiled.
"Same here." Felicia added watching the newly formed couple with tearful eyes.
"Ditto."
Hearing the voice of his wife Xander turned to his side to find Charlotte was now hold his hand with one hand, and in her other was a…rather large bag that jiggled with every moment. "Charlotte?"
"Yes dear?" The former border guard innocently asked doing her best to look cute and innocent before her husband. With a blank face he pointed to the bag as Corrin and Felicia leaned over with stunned frowns. "What this? Come on, everyone in Hoshido, Nohr, and Valla knew those two had a thing for each other! What's some harmless betting when you know you're going to win? It's not like anyone lost a fortune."
"I wouldn't say that." Felicia sighed leaning on her husband's shoulder. "Remember, once the sun rises messengers will be dispatched to both kingdoms to spread the news."
Charlotte shot her pink-haired counterpart a puzzled look. "I don't know what you're worried about, at least you'll be here in Valla where both Nohrians and Hoshidans actually want to live in peace. In Nohr it'll be bad, but I imagine in Hoshido they'll be close to rioting at the thought of having a Nohrian become queen."
"You're…probably right about that Charlotte." Corrin admitted feeling a sweat drop coming on. "How bad will Nohr be?"
Xander shut his eyes in annoyance and frustration. "Camilla's…reputation will actually work in her favor. Not even the most eligible suitors of Nohr have been able to successfully court her. Against a normal Hoshidan they'd throw a fit, but since this is Ryoma…" A heavy sigh left his lips at the mention of the samurai's name. "I imagine it'll be a…different story in Hoshido." Popping one eye open he turned back to his wife. "Back to the original question, Charlotte, what exactly did yo-"
"Just some side bets I'd made with a few friends and associates." The axe-wielding queen finally admitted feeling she'd given her husband enough of a heart attack. "It's not like anyone betted their life fortunes on the two of them getting together."
"Just out of curiosity how much did you win?" Xander questioned slightly curious.
"Oh just enough to buy a small estate, or two." The female blonde giggled resulting in her husband shaking his head with a knowing smile. "There's a new betting pool being set up as we speak."
"Let me guess," Felicia said with a roll of her eyes. "When Lord Ryoma and Lady Camilla produce their first child?"
"Yep," Charlotte admittedly shamelessly. "My money's on six months."
"One year." Xander said in a deadpan voice slipping back into overprotective brother mode. "After they're married."
"I'll go with eight months." Felicia good naturedly said.
"Or two." Corrin laughed only to be silenced by the full-on death glare Xander shot his way, completely with black flames and everything. Immediately the savior of the world shrunk back behind his wife who was also a little fearful of the intimidating aura projected by her brother-in-law. "Or whenever they get ready, after they're officially married of course." The flames receded and the shadowy figure behind Xander sheathed its sword. The glowing fireballs that had become his eyes died down returning the king to his normally calm posture. "I guess with one problem solved we've got to deal with this new one."
"Such is the hardship of those who rule." Xander said in a sagely voice.
"So then…when is the actual wedding going to be?" Charlotte proposed.
"When we can be sure there won't be too many assassination plots on either of them." Her husband replied rather darkly. Though he was immensely happy he couldn't let that happiness override his protective instincts. History had been made and for once a Nohrian would walk into the throne room of Hoshido and be honored.
But that wasn't going to happen without a some form of bloodshed.
"Well this is all…unexpected." Beruka stated as she and Selena settled back into their room.
"Just ya' think? I mean knew Lady Camilla had feelings for Lord Ryoma, but…but…marriage!? Between two kingdoms that just ended hostilities less than two years ago?!" Selena roared walking back and forth running her hands through her hair. "It's not that I'm upset, I'm actually happy for her, but-"
"There wasn't nearly this much fuss when Lord Leo and Lady Sakura announced their marriage." The blue-haired assassin sighed lying back on her bed to stare at the ceiling.
"They're different, they weren't the high prince and princess of their kingdoms. Besides, it's not like either of them are going to be rulers any time soon." Selena stated growing more and more frustrated by the second.
When she and Beruka had returned to their given quarters she'd barely found herself able to lie still in bed, let alone go to sleep. There were just too many thoughts swirling around in her head. Beruka herself had similar thoughts, though being the quieter and more focused one she was able to keep a handle on them better than her fellow retainer. While she stared at the ceiling she mulled over her own emotions and feelings regarding her master being wed. The event was going to mean a stunning change in circumstance for the both of them. Royal retainers or not, they were still Nohrians, and that would bring its own buddle of trouble. On top of that if word of Beruka's previous hit jobs got out she feared it would spell doom not just for her lady, but also for the Hoshidan royal family. She couldn't bear such a thing happening even if she felt no personal connection to any of them. As of the last three hours they were now a part of Lady Camilla's family thus her responsibility.
"I mean it's not the strangest marriage I've ever seen! Hah, my parents! Now there was a strange marriage!" Selena rattled on. "A Pegasus Knight and a Dark Mage from the enemy kingdom, crazy but they got together."
"Didn't you tell me your father was insane?" Beruka off handedly said.
"Well yeah, a little, but he was still the best dad I could have asked for." Finally the redhead stopped and looked away with a hint of longing in her eyes and softness in her voice. Beruka noticed her partner always got this way when talking about her homeland and her family. As did Odin and Laslow, reminders of a past they'd left behind as she'd wished she could do. "On top of that there was my aunt who married a thief who was practically the king's personal assassin. Did I ever tell you the king himself married a dancer of all things? And less than two months after meeting her?"
"So you don't take issue with our lady wedding the king of Hoshido, by all accounts an honorable and just man?" The blue-haired assassin spoke.
"Of course not! I already said that!" Selena snapped.
"If we move to Hoshido doesn't that mean you'll be closer to Subaki?"
It was a calculated blow that hit right where Beruka wanted it to.
A good three minutes passed before Selena was able to speak coherent words, much less respond. "I-I-I…I…I…how the hell do you know that? Who told you!?"
"Everyone knows you and Subaki continued seeing each other. Those long assignments and diplomatic ventures to Hoshido were not because of your lust for adventure and politics?" Beruka calmly answered. "Truthfully Lady Camilla knew of your relationship and often requested you so you two could spend time together."
"R-Re…Really?"
"Yes, you should now by now how much she cares for the both of us." Beruka replied turning away.
"In that case I guess we're both lucky." The redhead chuckled.
"How so?"
"I hear you have a thing with one of Lord Ryoma's retainers. Saizo right?"
Bolting up Beruka shot her partner a glare that could have frozen fire. To her credit Selena did not back down, instead she stood her ground. Eventually a sigh left Beruka's lips as she looked to the flickering candles around them. "I guess all three of us have had our hearts stolen by the enemy."
"Since they're not the enemy anymore that's not such a bad thing is it?" Selena mused with a smile.
"No…I suppose it's not." Beruka finally admitted with a ghost of a smile on her face, it was hard for Selena to tell given how unimpressive the assassin usually was. "You're right, get some sleep for the night."
In one move the assassin was off the bed and moving towards the door. She disappeared behind it with a soft thud leaving Selena alone in their room pondering what had just happened. "Beruka? Beruka?" Opening the door and looking down both ends of the hallway the redhead was at a loss for where her partner could have gone. "Where the hell did she go?" She looked back at the empty beds then back at the hallway. "Ah screw it!"
Almost ten minutes later a certain redheaded Hoshidan Pegasus Knight heard a knock at his door. Though he was surprised to find Selena at his door, though he was very pleased to see her. So was she to find he was alone.
"Is it okay if I sleep here tonight?"
"Not at all, by the way, you'll find Hoshido to be enjoyable, I promise you." Subaki laughed.
"I already do Subaki." She giggled practically jumping into her boyfriend's arms as he kicked the door shut.
"This has been a…quite a night."
"That's putting it lightly Kagero." Saizo grunted. "I never thought I'd see the day Lord Ryoma would wed a Nohrian, I thought hell would freeze over before that happened. I don't imagine this'll make things easier for you and Arthur."
At first she'd be flustered whenever her Nohrian lover was mentioned, but time had passed and things had changed. Kagero felt not shame for the blond Hero she called her boyfriend just as she knew her lord felt no shame in proposing to Lady Camilla. Truth be told when news of their relationship became public knowledge the red-armored samurai was actually quite supportive. "No it won't, I imagine things will actually become even more difficult. Regardless, Lord Ryoma and Lady Camilla will have our full support."
"Heh, just the words I was hoping to hear."
"What about you?"
"What about me?"
"Don't play games with me Saizo, we both know Lord Ryoma wedding Lady Camilla is going to affect you. Rather positively if I must say." Under the one-eyed glare of her former lover Kagero chuckled. That glare had long since lost any threatening power over her.
Snorting the one-eyed ninja turned away putting a tense silence between the two ninja only broken by the calm wind and sound of water running. Though almost everyone else save for the guards were sleeping they couldn't afford to slip up. Their lord had just painted possibly the largest target imaginable on his back with his actions tonight. Happy for him they were they also knew their job was about to become much harder. The first night the samurai and Wyvern rider spent together was the first test of to see if they could guard their lord's chosen wife against any and all threats. Regardless of what they personally felt for the Nohrian princess, if push came to shove they were ready to give their lives to protect hers'. That was why they'd stationed themselves directly above the room the pair had been given to stay the night. For the most part things had been…quiet.
Naturally when a third party dropped down onto the rooftop Kagero and Saizo were ready, spinning off silently with kunai at the ready they faced the new arrival with narrowed eyes. As she stepped out of the shadows both felt their hold on their weapons slacken, Saizo's more so than Kagero's.
"B-Beruka?"
The headband wearing Nohrian looked somewhat ashamed to have been caught so easily, then again, it wasn't like she was actually trying to sneak up on them. "I'm…sorry if I was interrupting something."
"N-No, it's…fine." Kagero said sheathing her weapons. One look she could tell why Beruka had come, or rather who she'd come for. "Saizo, I'm going to do another search of the area for any possible dangers, I leave Lord Ryoma and Lady Camilla in your and Beruka's hands."
"What? Hey, wait a minute! Kagero! You better not be running to your idiot..." It was a futile effort as the long-haired ninja disappeared before he could even finish speaking, his emotions no doubt playing a part in his slowed reaction time. He was now alone on the roof with a woman who he had…complex feelings for with his lord sleeping with his lover barely six feet beneath him. Damn it all.
"I'm sorry I put you in such a compromising position." Beruka started.
"Too late for apologies now." He sighed spinning around so his lone eye was on the hazy moon high above. He didn't know if the moon's full state was a good omen or not, only that it brought an odd sense of calm to his fiery nerves. "Are you…happy?"
Standing beside him Beruka joined him in his moon-gazing. A small part of her urged her to reach over and take Saizo's hand into hers', she thought that part of her had been stomped out long ago. For better or for worse being around Saizo had a way of bringing it back. "I…was, I was incredibly happy for Lady Camilla when Lord Ryoma proposed."
"You knew she'd said yes?"
"Saizo, the truth is…Lady Camilla has long held feelings for Lord Ryoma; however, as you can imagine she…resigned herself to never acting on them for obvious reasons." Beruka finally admitted. "I…didn't like seeing her that way."
"…You care for her beyond simply employer and employee." He chuckled.
"I could say the same for you."
"My relationship with my lord is strictly professional."
"So you had no personal opinion on your lord loving the daughter of Hoshido's greatest enemy?"
"…It is not my place to let my personal feelings affect Lord Ryoma, he has his life to live and I have mine. My life is protecting his, and now it is also protecting Lady Camilla's."
"Heh, I can understand. For many years now protecting Lady Camilla has been my life's goal, and now I will protect Lord Ryoma to the best of my abilities."
It took a lot to surprise Beruka since she'd seen just about all there was to see. Despite that Saizo still had ways of surprising her. For example, in that moment she felt a strong hand take hers and hold it in place. An audible gasp left the assassin's lips as she turned to Saizo. The ninja retainer refused to meet her startled gaze, only keeping his focus on the skies above.
"Then the two of us, together, will protect our lord and lady with our lives."
That night Beruka could feel herself smiling as she leaned her head onto Saizo's shoulder and whispered yes to his statement. Yes to a life in Hoshido, and to a life alongside him.
Completely unknown to either of them the long-haired Kunoichi was observing them from a safe yet reasonable distance with a smile tugging on her lips. "I guess in the end all three of us managed to cross the stars." Kagero couldn't help but laugh at the probability of both her partner and her lord falling in love with Nohrians as she had done. When she and Arthur first began seeing each other they'd raised more than a few eyebrows, not that she blamed them. She was a silent no-nonsense ninja whose artistic tastes others found "questionable", Arthur was a boisterous sword and axe-wielding man deeply believed in fighting for justice and doing the right thing no matter how painful it was. Ironically enough it was that unflinching honesty and kindness that attracted her to the Hero and made him someone she commonly sought out. On top of that in the heat of battle and in its aftermath they often found they shared some similar interests and habits, undying loyalty to their lords being one thing they both deeply bonded over.
Chuckling Kagero looked back at her partner and his new lover who settled into a sitting position side by side. Maybe I wasn't the only one who could look beyond the black and purple to find something worth loving, someone worth loving. "The lover's danger," She mused kneeling down to touch the tile. "It's worth the risk Lord Ryoma, worth it and so much more." She smiled hoping her thoughts would reach her lord.
"I am a little scared."
"You have every right to be, besides, if anything I have as much right to be as scared as you are. Perhaps more so. At least we can be scared together."
The wavy-haired Nohrian giggled at her fiancée's half smile half sigh. Though he wouldn't say it she knew he agreed with her, at least whatever they faced from this point onwards they'd face it together. They stood on the sidelines as the royal carriage that had brought Ryoma and his siblings to Valla was being readied. All around them was the usual morning chatter with talk of their sudden union being near omnipresent in every discussion. Via a combination of their physical contact and prior knowledge Camilla knew when Ryoma was growing unease as he was now. The signs were hard to see, but she knew what they were. Softly she began rubbing her thumb along his hand.
"When we get back…"
"You'll be staying with me, you are my fiancée after all." He said firmly causing her to giggle.
"I take it no one knew of your little plan last night?"
"No, well, a handful did. Mostly those who said they were tired of seeing me dancing around asking you to…"
"Me to what?" Camilla asked in a sing-song voice that caused a blush to break out over the samurai's face. Leaning her head on his shoulder she pressed on, "Me to marry you? Give myself to you? Surrender my-"
"The first one." He stumbled out not wanting the blush to worsen. I suppose I better get used to this, I'll never be strong enough to fight off her charms.
Once her small victory had been savored Camilla turned to the morning sun rising above the cloudy sky. From the looks of things it was going to be a clear day. She wondered what the skies in Hoshido would look like, surely they were brighter than those of her homeland. "When you…when we get back," she began worry creeping into her voice. "I imagine they'll be quite an uproar. I don't expect to see any parades being thrown to welcome me."
As blissful as last night and the recent morning had been Ryoma knew the time to be serious had arrived. "You're right, I know for a fact there will be attempts on your life and attempts made on your character."
"The second one won't be too hard," Camilla chuckled with pity. "I'm not exactly that hard a person to paint with a bad brush."
"Maybe, but I will fight to protect both of them."
Turning to face her fiancée Camilla was once again struck by just how fortunate she was to have caught the eye of a man like Ryoma. Looking into his fierce eyes she knew in her heart he meant every word of what he just said. "Thank you Ryoma." She said seconds before burying her face into his chest while his arms wrapped around her waist. "Thank you for…for letting me love you."
"Thank you giving me a chance."
The samurai and beast rider pulled back then leaned in to kiss, they were less an inch apart with a sudden cough alerted to them to their surroundings. With blushing faces they turned their heads to find Hinoka, Takumi, and Sakura all staring at them with hot blushes on their faces. Sakura was attempting to make an apology for watching them while Takumi was torn between saying something and wanting to turn around to hide his own face. Hinoka was the only one who acted with any maturity as one would have expected.
"Could you two at least wait until we're in the carriage?" She cracked scratching her head. "What last night wasn't enough for either of you?"
"H-Hinoka!" Ryoma thundered trying to regain his composure.
"Oh this is going to be a fun week." Takumi grumbled looking to the side. "Forget the carriage, can that stuff wait until we get home?"
"Heheh, alright fine, I'll content myself with this." Camilla said placing a kiss on her lover's cheek while her future in-laws burst into laughter.
I went from being the most respected man in Hoshido…to this. Ryoma thought looking at his three siblings then back at his future wife. Everything about her, from her smiling face to her waving hair down to her soothing voice replaced the crooked frown he wore with a content smile. But it was definitely worth it.
Almost a month since the last update, sorry for the long wait everyone. Clearly this chapter was a follow up to the S-Support chapter, mostly showing the immediate aftermath of Ryoma and Camilla getting together and each royal family giving their blessings. In Revelations you're practically free to pair up every royal and their retainer with one of their counterparts or foils on the opposite side so I played around with that a little bit. Have no fear in the future I will do a chapter featuring the wedding, but before that I have a few ideas I want to get out there. Until next time!
