Title: Our Little Princess (Caeldori x M!Corrin)
She was the most precious thing Corrin had ever held in his arms.
Kana's eyes hold a look of wonder and innocence in them. Between plump, rose colored cheeks is a smile so pure that tears welled in Corrin's eyes.
Upon the crown of her head, he placed a kiss so gentle that he wasn't sure if his daughter could feel it. Kana giggled, and in return, her father let out a small chuckle of his own.
"What's so funny you two?" Caeldori asked, resting her chin on her husband's shoulder to gaze at Kana's smiling face.
"I'm not sure," Corrin said. "Her laughter is so infectious, don't you think?"
Caeldori reached out to tickle underneath Kana's chin, and the baby let out another fit of laughter. The couple laughed. "You're right. That little giggle is contagious."
She moved from his side to show him a small paper in her hands. "Dear, I've taken the liberty to write up your speech down, just in case you forget anything while you speak."
"Huh?" Corrin asked dumbfounded. "B-but I thought I'd just wing it… I mean, it's not a very long speech at all."
Caeldori waved him off. "I don't want you to stand up there and stare off into space like the last time you gave a speech."
Oh right. When they were crowned as king and queen of Valla, Caeldori had to speak on behalf of him because he was at such a loss for words.
"We're introducing little Kana this time," she continued, "so everything should be just right for our little princess."
Corrin gave a small nod. "Oh, also…" he began, looking his wife up and down. "You look… absolutely beautiful." The red dress she wore fit her body very nicely, and Corrin concluded that she looked lovely with her hair up. He could see more of her face that way.
She blushed. "You took an awful long time getting to the end of that sentence…"
"No, no!" He cried. "You do look beautiful. I was just kind of at a loss of words… yet again."
Caeldori laughed. "Thank you dear. You don't look so bad yourself."
Only not so bad? Corrin thought. As Caeldori took Kana from his arms to get ready to greet the crowd on the castle's balcony, Corrin decided to question her about it later.
Beyond the doors to the balcony, the people of Valla wait patiently for their king and queen. It isn't until the doors swing open that they cheer and applaud.
Corrin and Caeldori share smiles of pride before she slipped him his speech paper. As soon as he cleared his throat, the crowd quickly quieted down.
"Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of my wife and I, we'd like to thank you for gathering here today." He paused for a moment.
"From our short time here, my wife and I have shared everything we had for the country's greater good," he said. "Today, we'd like to share with you a very precious addition to our family. Meet our little princess, Princess Kana."
The crowd cheers once more, and the love and support from the citizens of Valla, along with Kana's smile and little giggling, warmed the couple's hearts.
