Prompt 126) Ryuuki/Jyuusan Hime + Shuurei : Something where Ryuuki and Jyuusan actually are happy together and this time it's Shuurei who regrets a lost opportunity at love
By firewolf

As much as she tried not to react, Shuurei could never control herself from flinching away from the sound of a child's laughter. Not especially that produced by the crown prince.

She told herself repeatedly that she did not regret her decisions of long ago. When she looked upon Ryuuki and Jyuusan Hime fussing over their beautiful son, Shuurei would remind herself that she could never have produced the same gift for the Emperor.

And-- she told herself that it really was for the better that Ryuuki fell in love with his son and moved on. Their brush with first love was just a fond memory.
