Constant Tragedies
Chapter 2
It was Easter morning,
And as much as he didn't want to. Corrin had lost a game of Shogi the night before against Felicia, so he was out placing eggs she had hand painted in the woods for their son to find.
"Gawds Jakob, you could've at least been a better wingman." As he flashed back.
Before the game of Shogi even had took place, Jakob had rigged the pieces for the game in order for it to be in Corrin's favor as Corrin hated early mornings. But they both underestimated how much of a klutz Felicia was. As she had went towards the table, she had tripped over their son's toys facefirst past her chair she was initially supposed to sit in. Corrin had rushed quickly to pick her up, but she managed getting herself up rubbing the bump on her head as she went, then went the rest of the way along the table and sat in the opposite chair. Which forced Corrin to sit in the "losing" chair. And despite Corrin's best efforts. Jakob rigged it too good and Felicia triumphantly won with a huge smile on her face.
As he came back to reality, Corrin chuckled. "She earned it alright." He looked down at the eggs he was hiding. Felicia probably wasn't the best maid, but she was even a worse painter. One egg he held was supposed to be a painting of a baby chick, but it sadly looked like the ugly duckling in the old nursery rhyme books. The other egg was supposed to be a heart...but she had made too much of a arch towards the inside of the heart. He then held the egg upside down, and grimaced but also held back a laugh at the dirty image that entered his mind. Deciding the ugly duckling was better, he pitched and smashed the other one towards a tree as if erasing its existance from his son's mind. After all, he had to be responsible just as his wife wanted and dreamed to be.
He finished placing the rest of the eggs he found and rushed back towards their cabin. As it came into view. He seen Felicia sitting at the porch playing with their son Kana, and Jakob coming from inside the cabin with a tray of tea and biscuits but also a juice for the youngster.
"How did it go handsome? Did you place all the eggs?" asked Felicia.
"Of course I did, I did lose Shogi last night didn't I?" asked Corrin nervously.
"Mhmm, I loved that game! It was exciting to perfectly outmatch the King of Valla for once. Despite at my expense with the bruising." chuckled Felicia.
"Yes, I must say it was rather enjoyable." Jakob smiled coyingly as Corrin's temper was tested with a rough glare.
"Oh yeah, it was fun." shrugged Corrin.
"Don't be a sore loser dear. I promise I'll make up for it later." said Felicia as she sweetly pecked him on the cheek. "Kana's excited to see the Easter Bunny."
Corrin began to laugh. "How many beggings did it take you to get Azura to do that?"
"Mmm, I think puppy-eyes and a good sobbing took care of that." jokingly teased Jakob as he sipped some of his tea.
"Oh hush you two, you know Kana loves Aunty Azura. And I know Azura loves being around him. She's just shy about it." huffed Felicia.
"Speaking of which, I think we should we start and head out, we're meeting her at the lake, right? It'll soon be noon, don't want him to be out too late. There's still lost souls from the Anankos War around. Don't want to take a chance at being caught at night." said Corrin.
"Don't worry milord, I'll watch over the three of you every step of the way." said Jakob.
I don't doubt it, you're practically Kana's godfather." said Corrin as both him and Felicia smiled at Jakob, Jakob meanwhile stuttered and finally shut his mouth feeling embarassed.
Wasn't long after they started off in the woods. Kana was riding Corrin's back and pointing at all the eggs in the woods for Felicia to pick up in her basket. Jakob was not far away from them as he kept on patrol.
"I think that's all of them, now we get to see the Easter Bunny." said Corrin as him and Felicia smiled.
"Wait Daddy, there's one!" said Kana, and as both Corrin and Felicia looked, Corrin cringed as he seen a egg splatter on a nearby tree. He barely turned to see Felicia staring at him.
"How could you?!" asked Felicia.
"It was the only one I swear!" nervously said Corrin as Felicia pouted.
"What was wrong with that one? I know my painting isn't that bad." said Felicia.
"Okay, you know our ruleset we made up when we had Kana right?" asked Corrin.
"Yes, but what did it have to with my painting? Which one was it?" asked Felicia.
"You want me to be honest, or tell a white lie?" asked Corrin.
Felicia knew if he was going the "honest or lie" route, that it must have been bad. "Fine, be honest with me, I can take it." said Felicia nervously.
Corrin braced himself "Your egg with the heart on it broke rule thirty-four."
Felicia began to twitch as she tried to rehear what he said. "MY HEARTS DON'T LOOK LIKE PORN!" exclaimed Felicia.
"Dad, what's porn?" asked Kana as he looked down at his father.
Both Corrin's and Felicia's face flushed bright red.
"Porn...is uh...um...a bunny?" cringed Corrin.
"I believe you just broke rule two sweety, "don't lie to our son". pouted Felicia as she jabbed him in the shoulder then laid on him as they walked.
"What do you want me to say to a 4 year-old?" pouted Corrin as they finally made it out of the woods.
In the clearing in front of them was the lake. Jakob was already there setting the picnic and fixing the tea. Next to him though was Azura, but in a bunny outfit. As she looked up and seen Corrin and them, she smiled and waved. "Hey Kana!"
Kana's eyes lit up as Corrin set him and down on the ground.
"Aunty Azura!" he said as he ran toward her and hugged her. Everyone, even Jakob was smilling at how happy their 4 year old blessing was with Azura.
Kana looked up at Azura with a huge smile. "Are you the Easter Porn Bunny, can I have your candy?"
The happy moment died as Corrin and Felicia cringed, Jakob accidently spewing out tea, and Azura, twitching from embarassment and bright red as a tomato as Kana laid in her arms in a look of confusion.
