AnonymousGeek: We're opening slots for betas! Neither am I or Dragonna are native english speakers, you know. Hehe. Plot-wise, I think part 2 will be more interesting than this one.

Sugouxxx: In case you didn't realize it, she IS the co-author of this fic to begin with. I listed her name as such in Ao3.

Takumi opened his sewing box. He is in Castle Krakenburg again, after Xander's coronation. Now the reason he is there is for Xander's wedding with Corrin. Takumi laughed. Corrin loved the Nohr siblings, yet she married Xander... How laughable. So she loved the Nohr siblings in "that" context? How Mikoto would be sad. She was waiting for her daughter to come home in a decade and half, only to be ditched by that daughter to marry a man who doesn't even live under the same roof with her, after claiming he is her brother.


Takumi scratched his ears again. Now that they have returned to be pointed, it doesn't feel abnormally itchy anymore. It's his neck now that feels itchy, because he let his hair down to hide his ears. He haven't planned to show it to Corrin during his arrival. Not yet. For this surprise is he is willing to stay a night before the wedding in Castle Krakenburg, to perfect the surprise. He haven't forgave Corrin. But as the king of Hoshido, if he wants to insult her, he will do it in the most polite way possible. And he will do it in her wedding , again. He started to embroider the kimono again, with flowers which all spoke for all the negativity he had for Corrin. The kimono itself is beautiful and the king of Hoshido sure is skilled in feminine handiworks, unintentionally trained by his mother. If only said mother knows what he is actually doing with that kimono. Then again, it's not like she can stop him now. Even so, the receiver is very likely to not know the ominous message behind that pretty kimono. Not that there is no chance Corrin would never know . Takumi is sure Camilla or Leo would explain it to Corrin later.

Speaking about his ears, Orochi did find Mikoto's letter explaining about Takumi's ears, and yes, she confirmed that he does have the potential to turn into a dragon like Kamui does. The letter also includes the method to unseal Takumi's draconic powers in case he need it,as well several dragonstone with it, and Orochi offered her help to unseal that power. Takumi refused. What is that power for, that the war have ended? Self-defense? He have the Fujin Yumi, and it's not like he's a slouch at short-range combat either. Besides, him having the power to turn into a dragon will mean he will be more similar to Corrin. He does not want it. He does not want to be more relatable to Corrin.

Sakura, who have been in that room for some time, finally spoke up.

"E-elder brother... Are you sure... That you're going to do this?"

"You should let me do the job, Takumi. Seaming is my role after all." Oboro added. Takumi snickered.

"Nah. Finishing this kimono on my own makes gives me a certain kind of satisfaction. She would be less likely to know the meaning behind this kimono, but to actually finish and give it to her would make me delighted somehow. It's just part of my pettiness."

"U-um.. Elder brother..." Sakura looks like she was about to say something, but then she stopped. However, it seems Takumi caught it up.

'What is it, Sakura? Tell me. You can tell me anything, remember?"

"Uh... B-but I still think this the right place to say it. I-i 'll tell you later when we're back at Castle Shirasagi."

Takumi sighed, and continue to work on the kimono. But then, he glanced to his wife.

"Oboro, you have prepared it, right? Must let tomorrow be the best day for the Queen of Nohr."

"Sure, dear. It's ready. The additions have been prepared too."

How Takumi can't wait until he ruined Corrin's wedding.


Corrin feels nervous. Xander was her brother, and yet... She had that kind of feelings for him. So does him for her. To be fair, they're not blood related to begin with, so it's legal and moral for them to love and marry each other. But in the psychological context, is it truly? When they start to love each other as man and woman... Do their sibling love just vanished? Or they still love each other as siblings , but love each other as man and woman more? If so, since when? Even if she found out about her answer, there is no turning back now. She accepted Xander's proposal, and she will not only be his wife, but also queen for the entirety of Nohr. She already led a great army in the war before. Leading a country won't be hard, she thought. And that's not the only reason. Her wedding doubles as her formal debut to Nohr upper social gala, and she's nervous with the nobles' reaction. She was a stranger to them. Even she was allowed to attend Xander's coronation, she haven't introduced properly to the people of Nohr.

Corrin comes out to the hall, wearing an exquisite dress showing that she is indeed the consort of the King of Nohr. The luxurious dress makes her hard to walk, and the scent of the perfume tickles her sharp dragon nose. But all those discomfort worth happiness of presenting herself as Xander's though it cannot shut all those gossiping nobles around her. All pair of eyes in that party are focused on her.

Who is she? I never saw her, and suddenly she is queen. Can we trust our future to this woman?

She is Lady Corrin, duh! You know, King Garon's "adopted" daughter. She was introduced to the public at King Xander's coronation.

"Adopted "? What's with that connotation... Oh, I know. The girl King Garon stole from King Sumeragi? Hmmm... Why can't I remember when King Xander introduced her to us in his coronation?

Because she is just informally introduced back then. She is allowed to attend his coronation, but not yet properly debuted. Her wedding doubles as her proper debut ... No wonder she is so nervous.

And this woman, who we never seen before, is suddenly our queen? What is King Xander thinking? He's the king! He must think of his choice of woman , because whoever the woman married him will have power over us! Over Nohr!

And they think of themselves as siblings before. Granted, they're not blood related, she's actually Hoshidan, but... Marrying the person who you think are siblings before... Repulsive idea, if I may say.

What a harlot. Seducing her adoptive sibling.

Do you think that she has tried to seduce Prince Leo too?

Or Princess Camilla?

How can we be certain that her children will be the child of the king?

Did King Xander ever learned from his father's mistake ? We have problems accepting Lady Arete because she was a stranger with no clear origin, and now he's marrying a woman that is equally, or perhaps more mysterious than her. Did he wanted her to die?

Well, at least King Xander learned to not make a harem unlike his father.

Look at her ears. Is she truly human ? I heard she can turn into a dragon!

So our new queen isn't human? More reason to question King Xander's logic...

To be fair it is said that both royal family of Hoshido and Nohr are descended from dragons, so they're never fully human to begin with...

Also she had betrayed her own family! She has killed her blood siblings.

How can we trust her if she can kill her own family?

She has destroyed her native kingdom too.

Yes... A family who was hoped see her for years. What a horrible woman. She can't be trusted.

How long will it take her to destroy Nohr too?

Have you seen Hoshido's Princess Sakura at King Xander's coronation? She looks so broken. And this woman dares to say that she hope that they can be siblings again..

When she has killed her eldest siblings...

Someone has tell me that prince Ryoma has killed himself rather that being killed by his little sister.

What a brave man, unlike her.

She truly is a shameless woman.

Corrin decided to ignore them. Arete... If she wasn't mistaken, that was Azura's mother, King Garon's second queen. Corrin remembered how secretive Azura was, and how it leads into people , even Takumi, have such hard time to believe her. She will not repeat Azura's, or Arete's for that matter, mistake. She will be open as possible so Nohrian people can see that she is trustworthy to be their queen. Also , she knows one day the Nohrian people will accept her as a Nohrian royal. Because her siblings did. Be it because of her mysterious origin, be it because of her ears, be it because of her current beauty maximalized by the dress she is wearing

Until Takumi entered the hall that is. The king of Hoshido comes in wearing an even more extravagant clothes than her, truly a luxurious kimono with multiple layers, and make-up not any thicker than he wore during his coronation, but sure makes him even more beautiful. If Takumi during his coronation is beautiful, the Takumi during this wedding is just outright gorgeous. . It emits a somehow divine , magical theme that Priestesses or Onmyojis radiates. The unwritten rule perhaps is, if Takumi wears women's clothes to an actual formal event, that clothes have to belong to Mikoto. He also keep his hair in a ponytail and let the ponytail escape the Hoshidan crown. With his hair in a ponytail, his ears are clearly shown, unlike when he arrived at Castle Krakenburg yesterday, and he adorned a pair of blue gemstones to his pointed ears, with his wife walking beside him. Oboro doesn't mind all the attention focused on Takumi. She is his main stylist, and to keep him presentable have always been her job. The more people complimented her husband's appearance, the more flattered she is, because her husband's appearance have always been part of her work.

Who is that ? I never seen a woman more beautiful than that!

Idiot! That's the king of Hoshido. And he's married, that's his wife beside him!

Look at his heir, so smooth and silky...

King? More like queen... Damnation, he is truly gorgeous...

I heard it was the previous' queen's crown that he is wearing, not the previous king's.

But admit it, he sure looks good in that.

Why are you even born as a woman when King Takumi existed, the world isn't fair.

I don't care if he's married or if he's a man! All I care is that he is more gorgeous than any woman !

Look at his ears. He really is Queen Corrin's brother. Maybe he was hiding it before because he was ashamed such woman is his brother, poor thing...

Well, if I were him, I'll be ashamed of having a woman like Queen Corrin as my sister too.

How Takumi is satisfied when all the eyes focused to Corrin is now focused on him. He is not specifically a narcissist, or a crossdresser, but he does this with one goal in his mind.

He ruined Corrin's wedding in the most polite way possible, that is to present himself more mesmerizing than her., the supposed bride of the wedding. This way, people will remember him instead of her. Truly a subtle way to ruin someone's wedding.

Xander then hold her hands, and raised in to his face level.

"Do not listen to those gossipers, Corrin. They are just gossip. Rumour. Not truth. And even if people thinks King Takumi is the most beautiful person in this wedding... You are the bride. You are the most beautiful in my eyes."

Corrin then look back into his eyes, and they continue to say their vow. After kissing her for the ritual, Xander started his speech about ruling together with Corrin, and boy does there is uproar. They can't accept Arete back then, so why could they accept Corrin?

"Don't think about it too much, Corrin. I will not repeat my father's mistake. I won't marry so many women. I'll just marry you. And I will not let you end like Lady Arete. I will support and protect you as much as I can. "

As much as Xander's words make Corrin feels better, it haven't clearly erased the worry and anxiety in her heart. And then another problem to the party comes too her .

Takumi, with Oboro beside him and Sakura behind, more beautiful than any women in that ball including Corrin herself, the bride herself. He really is bent on ruining her life in the most subtle way possible, and certainly this isn't the last thing he would to torture her.

"King Xander, I congratulate you for your wedding with Lady Corrin. Although... To be frank, I am a bit surprised that you would marry her, after the claim that she is indeed your sister back in the war..."

Marrying her after you said she was your sister? Did you say that only to get her to your side? Or you truly loved her a sibling, but then that love changed into a love for a woman from a man? Either way, that's gross.

"I thank you for your willingness to stay this time, King Takumi. Was Nohr's climate finally taken a custom to you?" Xander tried to welcome Takumi politely. The king of Hoshido smiled back to the king of Nohr.

"No, the climate of Nohr isn't that discomforting . It's just... I have more present this time for Lady Corrin. Oboro, give me the presents."

Oboro handed a bundle to Takumi, who later gives it to Corrin. Judging from the feeling when she received the gift, it seems it was some kind of clothing.

"King Takumi... This..."

"Open it now if you wish, Lady Corrin. They are yours now." .

Corrin diverts her attention from Takumi's eyes. What kind of clothing would Takumi gave her? Something that would make her look like a fool? Something that would make her haunted by Mikoto's image again? Considering Takumi, probably the second. She opened the gift anyway.

There were three kimonos in the package. One is a black kimono with white dragon pattern. One is a red kimono with yellow camellia pattern. And the last one is a white kimono with various floral pattern. Namely, white narcissus, rose mallow, purple hyacinth, laburnum, gentian, nettle, thistle , yellow carnation, orange lily, but the main focus of that kimono seems to be the red spiderlily. For no reason, these kimonos make Corrin anxious. Camilla and Leo immediately understand why she is.

"Aren't they beautiful, Lady Corrin? The black one was made by my mother, in hopes her missing daughter would be a soaring white dragon who will find her own way in the pitch-black night wherever and whenever she is lost. The red one was bought by my elder sister Hinoka for her younger sister Kamui, with red being the color that symbolizes heroism in Hoshidan culture, and yellow camellias represent longing... How she feels longing for her sister Kamui. In case you are wondering why are we giving these kimonos to you, Lady Corrin, is because we think it is better to have someone whose size fits these kimonos than to let them sleep in our storage. No worries, Lady Corrin, all of them are made with finest material and skill. As for the white one? That was my personal handiwork. I hope my skill isn't dissappointing enough that you would be ashamed to wear it."

Camilla and Leo's eyes are focused on the white kimono. Or rather, to its patterns. For a man, Takumi sure is skilled in embroidery, and the work itself is as beautiful as the maker. However, that wasn't what in Camilla and Leo's mind. When the kimono is beautiful, all the flowers embroidered have negative meanings, a clear sign that Takumi haven't forgive Corrin.

White narcissus. Egocentrism. Represent how selfish she is, for not choosing the easier path because she is afraid of Garon.

Rose mallow. Sadness or grief.

Purple hyacinth. Sorrow. That he still mourns over his mother, older siblings, and retainers.

Laburnum. Broken heart, abandonment.

Gentian. Scorn, pain, contempt.

Nettle. Cruelty. For all she did to Hoshido.

Thistle. Revenge, or austerity.

Yellow carnation. Dissappointment. Rejection. That he no longer considered her his sister.

Orange lily. Hate.

Petunias. Resentment and /or anger.

But only Leo, who knows how ominous the meaning of the flower which happened to the the main star of that kimono, from the Hoshidan books he read when he stayed there.

Red spiderlily. A flower that is considered to be the most ominous in Hoshidan flower language. A poisonous flower that mainly blooms in graves, to protect the dead so animals don't eat them. A flower said to be blooms in the path of the world of the dead. Such is the reason why all the things that flower can translate to are all horrible. Demonic. Abandoned child, or abandonment itself. Death. Loss of memory. Land of the dead, ghosts,phantoms or anything occult. Trickery. Such is why this flower is the main focus of the kimono. That Takumi considered Corrin as a demon who takes so many things from him. That Corrin is now the girl that have abandoned the entirety of Hoshido. That Hoshido have considered their Kamui dead. That Takumi only considered Corrin as a phantom of Kamui and nothing more. That Takumi refuses to remember that Corrin is the same with Kamui. That Corrin have forget all the love Hoshido showered her with.

As ominous that gift is, the kimono itself is actually beautiful once you get past the flower languages of all flowers sewn there. Not to mention, the kimono was made by the king of Hoshido himself. To reject it would be utter insolence to Hoshido. Something that she can't do that now she is queen of Nohr. Not that she would know all of it, but Leo have planned to tell her the truth behind that kimono.

"Y... Yes. This kimono is so pretty. Thank you for all the hard work you poured to this kimono, King the way, the kimono you wore now..." Corrin awkwardly expressed her gratitude.

"Ah, this? Yes, this kimono belongs to Mother. She would like to see your marriage.. But she's no longer with us. So I decided to be her representative and gives you blessing in her stead." Takumi's eyes are focused to Corrin. With unforgiving eyes that uncannily contrasts his merciful smile.

"Wasn't it tiring? To keep wearing a facade like that... " Leo commented on how Takumi wore his Mikoto facade. Instead, he let out a graceful small laugh.

"Ah, the luxury of being the second prince. Immature and straightforward. How I miss that."

You think I can get away with my original personality once I become king? No way. I had to create a facade so my people, who were expecting my brother, and are still mourning over my mother, can accept me as their new ruler. I didn't live to be the crown prince, so I don't know what to do once my brother is dead and I become the next king. Tell me, will you be yourself if you're on my position? To stay as yourself once you're forced to be king when people are expecting your brother? I don't think you will.

Xander tried to save Leo from Takumi's indirect insult, by diverting his attention.

"However, King Takumi, we are grateful that you're willing to re-open the trade."

"Ah, I'm just doing what my mother would do. She won't let Nohr starving, that is all. But even if I have legally re-opened the trade with Nohr, the fact that the Hoshidan merchants themselves are unwilling to trade with Nohr remained unchanged. "

Lies. If it's Mikoto, she would help convincing the Hoshidan merchants by herself. But that is not something that Takumi would do. He already introduced Leo to the merchants' guild, and it will be his job to deal with them. Takumi's job is to show Leo the place. That's how a community works. Even if you have received the leader's permission, you will still have to personally convince the people to trust you. Takumi isn't only talking how Leo still have to personally persuades the Hoshidan merchants despite Leo already received his permission to reopen the trade, he was also referring to himself, on how he already accepted Lily and Shiro to Castle Shirasagi, yet some people still have problems having a Nohrian vassal and a half-Nohrian royal in the Hoshidan court. Of course, this is his problem , just like the Hoshidan merchants' attitude is Leo's problem. Granted, even until now, even if the Hoshidan court is unaccepting to Lily and Shiro, there haven't been any assassination attempt. But surely there will be, and Takumi already prepared for such attempt.

"Still, I am grateful to you, King Takumi. The mistake my father did with yours will not be repeated. " Xander reaffirmed Takumi. Ah, yes. King Sumeragi's murder by King Garon. The reason why Hoshido closed the trade with Nohr to begin with.

"I believe that a child does not carry his parent's sin, King Xander. Therefore I will give you the chance . Besides, during the war I did stayed in Nohr for a while. Your people spoke of King Garon's tyranny, yes, but even you is not a being of malice of your own. I give you the chance for the sake of the people of Nohr itself, not for the glory of the Nohrian royal family." Takumi gived his reason why he give Xander the chance. He is not as merciful as Mikoto, yes, but he't not a heartless person either. He saw it with his own eyes how Nohrian people suffered and it sure pains his heart. What kind of irresponsible ruler let them live in that horrible condition? And now being king of Hoshido, he have the power to ease the burden of those people. Although not for free. As a ruler, he must prioritize his own people, but not keeping a blind eye to Nohr's suffering.

"Uhm... King Takumi..." Takumi heard Corrin weakly called his name. Thanks to the awakening of his draconic sense, now his sense is sharper than normal people.

"Yes, Lady Corrin?" . Corrin was surprised that he heard her from the distance he now made with her. His draconic sense sure have awakened.

"Y... Your ears...They're pointed like mine now..."Corrin awkwardly pointed the similarity of their ears. Takumi reached for his own ear.

"Ah... This? Yes, they have become pointed too like yours. The royal diviner, Orochi, confirmed that my late mother did see my potential to turn into a dragon ,even prepared a dragonstone for me. But now the war has ended, what can I do even if I have that power? Nothing. This peaceful age doesn't need such power anymore. That was the reason I wish to let my power sealed, that is all."

I don't want anything that can make me more relatable to you. Even my draconic powers.

Corrin felt bad because she was the reason Takumi rejected his draconic powers. Not to mention the kimonos Mikoto and Hinoka prepared for her. She was indeed the white dragon that soars in Nohr's darkness... And led them to destroy Hoshido. And Hinoka longed for her so bad... Yet she died in her hands. Considering Takumi, all the flowers sewn to the kimono he made for her must have some negative meanings. She will have to ask Leo about it. She is ready to hear whatever Takumi is trying to confey through that he smells so nice... Wait, what? This isn't right. He's married. She's married. And more importantly, they're still blood siblings. But what is this feeling coming when she smelled his scent? Comfort because he is the only dragon other than her? But she didn't even feel like this with Lilith...

Corrin walked around the ball with Xander beside her, but people are flocking around Takumi. Married women, single women, even notable number of single men all shows interest to the beautiful ruler of Hoshido. Even with all those people are trying to woo him, Takumi gently pulled Oboro to him and acts romantically with her as she is truly his consort. Really, Takumi did a good job on ruining her wedding. He just appeared more eye-catching than her. That way, people will remember him instead of her. To be a bride that is not memorable on her own wedding surely sounds like a disastrous event for any woman. Then she remembers that being queen of Nohr, and with the current situation that now peace has come between Nohr and Hoshido, there would be many events in both Hoshido and Nohr that demands both of her and Takumi's presence. Who knows how Takumi will make her suffer in all the upcoming event? But she have no tactic to avoid them? The thought horrified her. But this is the fate she must receive for ruining his land, who used to loved her so much.


Man, do we love those gossiping nobles for being our exposition gossipers. Also Takumi is such a nerd, personally made Corrin a kimono with all those flowers with negative meaning. Needless to say you all know which one is my favorite flower. Damn. Really, that flower is seen as that ominous and tragic in Japan. That's why there is plenty of fanarts of Takumi with that flower in Pixiv. It is exactly because that flower is that ominous and tragic yet still beautiful that I loved it. And the Nohr nobles are less accepting to Corrin than he Hoshido nobles to Takumi? Just think about it! They never saw Corrin , and suddenly she is queen. When in Hoshido, while Ryoma is the supposed crown prince, they know Takumi and why he have the right for the throne. Corrin? Who the heck she is? And how can she marry the king? and so on.
Is this the last appearances of those gossiping nobles? Of course not. Is this the end of Takumi's revenge on Corrin? Or course not.

Speaking of which, we are aware that at this rate this fanfic is basically a series of Takumi roasting Corrin while weaponizing Mikoto's image that she had left, making it more painful for Corrin to remember that Mikoto died for her. Thing is, we planned this fic to be three part. First is Takumi's chain of roast to Corrin, second is... Well, in case the fact when Leo talked about Anankos' possession to Takumi and Garon in chapter 4, that hinted what part 2 about. And part 3, the distant finale... I even have finished the distant ending chapter, the part 3! If you guys are interested, I will start writing part 2. Or else, I'll write chapter 6 instead. Because honestly, I have no idea how should I finish this part, and part 2 have specific ending and the story you needed to know for part 2 have been covered. Please, tell me which part do you guys want me to make first.

Also who recommended this fic to feifheadcanons on tumblr? We have tumblr, you know! Mine is draceempressa and Dragonna's is naehja! We are dragonnesses, but we won't bite. Tell us what headcanons you have for this fic. We won't bite, neither will we spoke to you rudely. We are open to ideas! Truly! And who requested rhapeseuhans for drawing that Takumi in kinshi knight + Mikoto's crown? (said post/153051040608/takumi-as-a-kinshi-knight-and-mikotos-crown-tiara ) Because that only happened in this fic! Come on, anons, show us your face. We won't bite, just going to talk, hehe...
