CHAPTER 10
Kuon's POV…
Finally after years of waiting I can go home and see my precious girl, if she's not married… my parents greet me with open arms, and dad is already crying, jezz…
"Oh Kuon, we've missed you so much! Come here, and give your dad a big hug!" he cried as I stepped foot in the palace grounds. And now he's running towards me… in his PJs. Greeting him and returning the hug, I looked at mother.
"Hi mom…" she smiled opening her arms, and I walked right to her, with dad still clinging to me, some things never change.
"My son, there is good news for you…" looking at her my mother pulled at my hand, "It seems that we've been invited to a party."
"A party, darling?" Kuu bolted upward releasing me, "By whom dear, nobody sends invitations here, unless it's from someone in the Dark Realms (or Lory)."
Nodding and smiling she motioned us to follow, we approached the table of… my room? Not asking just yet mom picked up a blue envelope. Presenting it to me, I looked at it first; it looks like the envelopes Kyoko used to write to me… Opening it carefully but quickly it read:
'Dear King, Queen, and Prince Hizuri,
First I will apologize, for the rudeness of my father's realm and of all the other realms. My name, if you may not know it, is Kyoko Mogami. I am the Light Princess, and tomorrow is Christmas… and unfortunately my birthday. It's rather terrible that my birthday is on Christmas, the poor workers are forced to work double… but aside from that!
It has come to my attention that your family is of the Dark Realm, and I have taken that into consideration. I have two friends from the Dark Realms… Anyhow, the party will be starting at seven pm, the time when the sun is setting here. Of course you are free to decline this invitation, if you would not be comfortable going… I will still send you a thank gift!
My father is also sorry of his behavior and choices against you, King Kuu. I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive him? Thank you…
Sincerely, Princess Kyoko
p.s. if you do decide to accept my invitation your majesties, I have seats for you! And to Prince Kuon, I hope we can be good friends…'
Smiling at my name, I turned to my parents, "We are going, right?" my dad looked at me as if I lost my head switching his glaze to mom and back to me.
"Son, I know that this Kyoko is your friend… but she doesn't even know you. How can we go she'll rec-" he began.
I opened my mouth, "That was my choice dad, I… I was scared that she would run away… like some many others did." I had no doubt that the expression I wore was pained…
Remembering the second friend that accepted me, Rick… unfortunately he was almost killed.
DESCRIPTION OF WHAT HAPPENED: (NOT A FLASHBACK, BUT LIKE ONE)
I blamed myself, even his fiancé called my "Murder!"… But ignoring her shouts to stay away from Rick, I still approached as she threw her trembling fists at me. As I hovered above him, his hand raised slowly and weakly. I gripped Rick's hand in mine, which were also trembling.
"D-don't blame yourself *cough*… it wasn't you fault, Kuon." Rick took a shallow breath, "If anything, it was that guy's fault…*cough cough*… she, the girl you told me about, Kyo-… Kyoko, she's waiting for you…" seeing him struggle, I told him to be quiet…
"Rick, you're… you're gonna be okay *sniff*… I won't let you die like this." I tried to speak clearly, "You said that you fiancé is a healer right, a level 2?" nodding weakly… I called her to me, trying to get her to calm down gently.
Didn't work; plan B, "Tina! Shut up and get it together, damn it! Rick needs you right now!" slapping me of course, but getting her A-game start.
Thankfully they caught the bastard that hit Rick, I was a little sad I wanted to kill him. Tina and Rick got married after he was 'Okayed' by the doctor… they're at their honeymoon now…
END…
"*sigh* Alright, but don't blame me if she shouts at you…" my dad said, "Oh this is going to be so fun! Wait we have to get her a present… Kuon you know her! What does the princess like?!" he started getting excited.
Thinking of a gift for his lovely friend, Kuon didn't realize that Kyoko was stand at the palace gates with Ren companied by Lory, who was nervous as the Light Princess looked pissed…
Uh-oh somebody (Kuon) is in trouble :D
