by Mainwarudo Kohna

This is a collection of letters. Ikki Kurogane and Stella Vermillion have decided that they want to get married, but they need their parents permission in order to do so. To complicate things even more, Stella comes from a royal family called the Vermillions. What will they do? Will love prevail in the end?

4. To Son, From Father

Dear Ikki,

I am happy that you have found your own happiness, as much as your sister doesn't believe me. I'm sorry for what I made you go through all those years ago. I've hated myself for it since you left. I went through your things. I found the journals you kept and I was horrified by what I read. I don't deserve to be even called a father. You must understand that after your mother, after Charlotte died, I was a mess. I was angry, sad, and many more emotions that I can't even name. Charlotte was my everything, my world, and I blamed you for her death, but I realised why she held on until after you were born. It was because she wasn't going to give up on her baby, on you. She wanted you to live, Ikki, even if it cost her her life. I remember everything clearly and I want to repent for the sins of my past, and repair that broken bridge. I want to meet that Stella person that you speak of. Ikki, please don't forget one thing, even if you forget all others. Don't forget, "Amor vincit omnia". It means, "Love conquers all things" in Latin. Remember that, my son. Your love for this Stella girl is like that phrase. Love cannot be held down, and will not be. Love is the most powerful thing in the entire universe. No matter what happens next, your family will always be by your side. I will, and always will support your marriage to her.

Your Father,

Itsuki Kurogane
