Three Years Later… Part 2: Honor and Acceptence.
Maria and Mario talk about the latest news around the abbey and unusually, politics. Maria mostly spoke of her new baby brother, she hopes to see.
"I can't wait to see my little brother. My father must be happy to have another son."
"But he's happy to have you two as well, I mean, I wouldn't have anyone interesting to talk to, minus Matteo. But your brother is a bit serious, you know."
"Aren't your parents deciding to have another child, I mean my parents think the more siblings, the more fun life is for a person. "
Mario scoffs and replies, "My parents, they just want, hopefully two more siblings. Your family is very different; you seem to have so much fun, as much as Marie gets on your nerves."
"Yes, even with Marie the way she is. But she is my sister, and I am to stick up with her and for her." Maria replied. Mario nods and says, "Well, do you know who will be your partner, since Lucas is Marie's partner."
Maria knew who she wanted, but she decided to tease him a bit. "Hmm…I have so many admirers; I really don't know who to chose. Maybe that nice hedgehog from Latina or that handsome porcupine from Florencia…or maybe that really cute echidna from Roma."
"Well, you can—What?"
Maria smirks and says, "You heard me, a really cute Echidna from Roma. He maybe someone you know."
"Try me."
"He's sweet, caring, protective," She sighs dreamily and says, "Handsome, strong, and is cute when gullible."
"And who could that possibly be—"He was cut off by Maria kissing his cheek. She smiled at him and says, "The cutest echidna of Roma, are there any other echidnas around here?"
Mario blushes and says, "Aw, Maria, please, you're making me blush!"
"So will you be my partner?"
"Um, sure. What do we have to do?"
"The Waltz, and many other useless dances. Besides, my brother only did it out ok kindness. I think Lucia likes my brother."
"Maybe, I mean Lucia is nice and she and Matteo look nice together."
"Lucia is nice and a wonderful, but she doesn't seem to fit him. As nice as she is, she might be better for another. But there's this princess from Francia named Rosalina of Cannes, she seems better suited and I met her while my father and I were to meet the matchmaker for my brother, since he was part French. I helped my father, since I and Matteo are well bonded, as my father says. I tell him not to choose Lucia, since she's better off with another and to place him with Rosali. She's equally beautiful and she seems best for my brother, since they have so much in common, and she is the same shade as he is."
"Which is…?"
"Albino, dummy."
"Oh." Mario replied in idiocy. "Well, shall we practice?'
Maria smiles and says, "We shall, but we must see Mephiles first. I need his advice."
"No problem. Let's go!"
The two run from the courtyard, past Shadow, and to the abbey, where Mephiles was sharpening his daggers and opening a box in Chinese.
Before he opens the box, he gets a surprise 'hello.'
"Hello, Mephiles. I'm here for—"
"Advice, am I right?" Mephiles replies with his rough Russian accent and his eyes closed as he cleans daggers.
"Y-yes."
"Maria Rosanna Hedgehog, I knew you since you were born and I know when you need help."
"Well, that's a mouthful; so here's the situation, Mephiles."
"Ok, shoot, nietka. "
"Grazie. Well, do you think my brother should be in an arranged marriage or should he decide on whom to marry?"
"It's your brother's decision. If he chooses to, we are to respect his wishes. If not, wonderful. But I overheard you and Mario talking about Lucia and Matteo. I don't think the girl is a bad person. Sadly, she is forced into marriage at such a young age. Since she was about your age, Maria, her father wanted her to marry someone of royalty, but she didn't want to marry for money or status, but love. Like your mother and your father. She was to marry someone for money and status, but your father swept her off her feet with true feelings and sentimental values. Your brother might be next up for that same road. Lucia was in the same spot Lucia is now. Your grandmother made your mother meet
princes from all of Europe and Russia to court and maybe marry and they ended up choosing a noble's son, who had problems with power. Your father and I knew your mother since we were kids, like you and Mario and Lucas and My son, Sergei know one another. My wife, Rosali met your mother on her trip to Russia and I reunited with her and married. Yet back to the main point, your brother should choose who he marries or what he does. I knew Matteo before he became your brother and before you and Marie were born, he's wise for his age. "
Maria sighs and says, "You're right. Well, I better see how Matteo and Lucia are doing."
"Go along, nietka. Fighting lessons we be upheld, since the cotillion is coming soon."
"Grazie!" Maria replied and the two run. They then cross the corridors where the princess's father was talking to a French noble and they then pass by the front yard, where they see Matteo and Lucas doing the waltz in front of a tall water fountain in the middle of the palace. They then notice that they stopped and sat on the ground. Maria looks at Mario and says, "You thinking what I'm thinking, Mario?"
"Yes I am. Spy time!" Mario and Maria quickly jump behind Amy's rose bushes and they watched their movements.
Back at the Palace, Shadow meets with a hedgehog Noble, from allying France and they talk of important matters when the other hedgehog notices Matteo and his daughter, Lucia, practicing the waltz.
"Shadow, you know your son is at the age where he should be finding a female to court and marry. Surely you know my daughter is up to it."
Shadow scoffs angrily and says, "Do you not know of the law here? Arranged Marriages are illegal! And surely, Matteo won't go for it."
"The people of Italia don't have to know. Come along now, we're powerful people. Why would you care about your country in such a fashion? We're aristocrats, Shadow, and your country is just a piece of land with people you order them to do as you please."
"I consider myself fortunate. And obviously, you have no clue why arranged marriages are illicit here? I'll be glad to explain. After all, Francia is one of my allies."
"Go on, then."
"My lovely wife was engaged to a hick from plague ridden Messina, and he turned this place into a bloody hell and made everyone and everything suffered greatly. Obviously, your father taught you nothing of the legendary warrior princess, who fell in love with a French mercenary."
"I know of her and she is also our pride in our country, and that child that you pride fully claim to be your son. He will have to learn of his real father, a real Frenchman."
"He isn't stupid!" Shadow snarled and then says, "He knows of his father and he is doing very well and once again, he will not be in an arranged marriage with your daughter."
He then walks closer to the black hedgehog and says, "You and your wife will regret making this decision, and your son will be taken back to Francia by force, or your precious rose will have to go to Francia with him, and your newborn son."
Shadow had enough and he grabs the noble by the throat. He then snarls, "IF YOU DARE TO HURT MY FAMILY, MY SONS AND MY OTHER FRIENDS, YOU WON'T BE HEARING THE LAST OF ME. BUT I WARN YOU, IF YOU EVER HURT MY WIFE AND MY CHILDREN, YOU WILL ENDURE GREAT PAIN AND POSSIBLY THE LOSS OF YOUR POSITION, ARISTOCRAT OR NOT!"
He then lets go and says, "I'm afraid 'tis time for you and your daughter to leave."
The hedgehog nods and straightens out his stockings. He then says, "You will regret this, Shadow. You're making a mistake."
"I know I am not. Matteo will decide on his mate, if it's your daughter, congratulations and we will do all we can to ensure the courting. If not, your daughter might have a better chance with another male of royalty, as beautiful as she is."
The hedgehog growls in his breath and leaves. Shadow looks out the corridor and sees Lucia and Matteo practicing and then sees something odd.
"Matteo, what do you think of Francia. I mean, you are part Frenchman." She asked in her sweet voice.
"I really don't see much difference in Italia or Francia. Both countries are beautiful, but I prefer Italia. No offense towards you, Lucia."
(Lucia Lu-see-ya)
"No worries, Matteo. With you, I'll never be angry. You are the kindest hedgehog I've met."
"Thank you, but I am just really being myself."
She then smiles seductively.
Shadow sees and smirks. In his thoughts, he says,
Ahh…The art of seduction, well how about that, and taking place before my eyes. No matter, Matteo's mind will see through it. Besides, he follows the code of Mercenaries. Don't fall for it, son.
"So, have you thought of courting any girls yet? From here? Italia? Germania? Any place in particular?" She asks, waiting for an answer.
"I decided to court a female by the name of Rosali DeMonte from Espana, or maybe Rosalina of Cannes or— or another French girl."
Lucia was surprised to hear the words French girl and thinking it was her.
"Anyone else, Matteo?"
"If I could, maybe you. But we will see at the cotillion."
Lucia blushes slightly and says, "S-sure, Matteo. Well, I best be leaving. My father needs to see Noble Sonic and Italia's matchmaker. I don't really understand why I need to see her if I am having my cotillion to prove my eligibility."
Matteo replies, "Well, maybe your father wants a backup plan."
"Maybe. My father hopes for me to marry someone of royalty. But…"
Then she begins to cry, "Every prince I meet is either mean, self absorbed, or over dominating of me. Matteo, I don't want to marry anyone but you."
"What?" Matteo asked in shock. He couldn't believe his ears. For he thought they were deceiving him.
"Y-yes. I love you, Matteo of the Hedgehog Family. For I love you with all my heart. You are a gentleman, kind, sincere and sweet and too of Francia. Matteo, I want to k-now your feelings for me. Do you love me back?"
Matteo knew he had a heart hanging on a single wire and he realized his feelings of being the serious big brother were now added to being the love of a young peach albino hedgehog.
"I-I do love you, Lucia. But isn't it too early for your father to make you marry?"
"My father has dreams for me and I can't let him down, Matteo." She then breaks more tears and cries in Matteo's chest, snuggling against him.
He understood her, for he too was dedicated to his family and his father. He also felt fortunate that his father would let him marry whomever he pleased. He felt a strong connection with the peach albino hedgehog since he met her on his trip to Francia.
Flashback… (Matteo's POV)
As we head for Francia, I was in no mood to meet anyone, for I was homesick. I want to see my mother and go home. When we got into the gates, I didn't like any of it. I knew my real father was a Frenchman, but I felt like I was an Italian, that Italia was my home. For my mother gave birth to me in Italia and raised me there. I really didn't like France. My father and I along with Maria and Mario, Mario was Maria's guard, got off the coach, which I didn't like either, and we see a mongoose and his family with a trusted noble hedgehog and his family, and I see a beautiful albino peach girl.
She comes up to me and says in a beautiful angelic voice, "Hello, you must be Matteo."
She then kisses my cheek. I blush madly and I was confused. She giggles at my response and says, "You are very humorous, Matteo. It's a custom here. We kiss a male on the cheek to welcome them. I welcome you to Franica."
She takes my hand and says, "Come, you have much to see."
I had no choice, for my morals told me to do so. But she was very interesting to me. As if we were to meet and that it was meant to be that we were to meet. She takes me to this amazing structure that I only read about in books and only saw in paintings and photographs. It. Was. The Eiffel Tower.
"Beautiful is it not?"
"Huh?" I asked.
"Oh, I am sorry. How could I be so dazed. Come with me and we could go up the Eiffel Tower."
I was shocked at her kindness and hospitality when I was acting like a fool. Gee, I need to pay attention, but only if she wasn't so nice or pretty, or a hedgehog.
We take the elevator, a great invention I have ever seen, we go up and in minutes, we reach the top. When we got out, I. Was. Amazed.
"Now tell me, how's the view?"
I was amazed at how big my real father's homeland was. I replied,
"Indescribable."
She smiles at me with those beautiful baby pink eyes. She blew me away, but who was I kidding. My father was a mercenary, my stepfather is the king of Italia. I bet she must be laughing when she heard of me being from Italia, but I guess she's not laughing to be polite.
"That's wonderful news. You know, you intrigue me. I-I was wondering, I-I-if you can be…my escort for my cotillion in four months?"
I was surprised, but as the gentleman I am, I knew to never say no.
"I would be honored."
"Merci, Matteo de Riccio."
(Thank you, Matteo the hedgehog)
END OF FLASHBACK…
"I understand, Lucia. I will be honored to court you." He replied and he caresses her cheek as she sheds more tears. He wipes them away with the tip of his finger and she smiles. She brushes her long white and peach quills away and Lucia sighs in relief and snuggles closer to his chest. Matteo couldn't help but feel sorry for the peach albino female. She had a lot on her shoulders, just to impress her father.
"Merci, Matteo De Riccio."
Matteo looks at her and smiles softly. Back at the bushes, Maria and Mario were shocked at Lucia's sob story.
"Wow…Mario, I feel horrible. I feel…sorry for her."
"Don't worry, Maria." Mario replied and he kisses her cheek. "Matteo always keeps his word and he will be good to her. Poor girl."
They both shake heads. As the two snuggle in the grass, Shadow too felt sorry for the girl and was ashamed in the noble.
"That poor female. Luckily for that wretched noble, he got his wish. But Lucia will finally be happy and now has someone to protect her."
Shadow turns around and leaves to see Amy and the baby once more.
Looks like you peeps will have to wait for Part 3: The cotillion and one last sex scene, just for the heck of it!
