" Ma'am, are you alright?" A voice suddenly called out to Neva, pulling her out of her memories. For some reason her mind wandered back to the day she and her husband Yuno had gotten engaged, then their wedding day, and eventually to the day that Miku was born. She looked towards the voice and saw Claire, her personal guard and one of her Paragon's standing there with a confused look on her face.

" I'm fine, I was just elsewhere for a moment." She chuckled as she shook the fond memories away, Claire tilted her head.

" It looks like you were thinking of something pleasant," Claire said softly. " Should I not have interrupted you?"

" No it's fine," Neva said, waving the girls worry away, and before she could say anymore she watched the dining room doors open and in walked Kya, who was now nearly 11 years old, with her guard Rosette, who was also one of Neva's Paragons, following behind her.

" Good morning mama!" Kya said happily as she walked over and gave Neva a kiss on the cheek, Neva smiled softly and hugged her daughter back.

" Good morning Kya, did you sleep well?" Neva asked and the young girl nodded briskly before the door opened again and Kito, who was now nearly 14 years old, walked in with his guard Raoul following behind. Raoul was also one of Neva's Paragons.

" Morning mom," Kito said softly as he walked over and hugged his mother, who continued to smile warmly as she hugged him back and gave him a kiss on the cheek, causing him to pout.

" Morning Kito, did you get enough sleep?" The boy muttered a quiet 'yeah' before he walked over and sat down beside her and across from Kya.

Next to open the door and walk inside the dining room was Neva and Yuno's eldest daughter Miku, who was now 15 years old, and she was quickly followed by her guard Rem. Rem wasn't a member of the Paragon squad, and instead was a normal guard like Ralph. She was very quiet and didn't socialize with anyone unless they were Miku, which Neva could understand since she could be similar at times, but she was strong, trustworthy, and was very protective of Miku. Which proved that she was more then worthy of being Miku's guard. But there was still something about Rem that made Neva suspicious of her, even if Miku fully trusted the older girl.

" Good morning mother." Miku said quietly as she walked over and kissed her on the cheek and Neva hugged the young girl.

" Good morning Miku, were you able to get enough sleep?" She asked and the girl nodded. She had been having really strange dreams lately, and from how she described them they were borderline nightmares. But the girl simply nodded without saying a word, making Neva realize that the girl had probably had another nightmare again last night.

Finally, after waiting a few more minutes her husband Yuno walked through the dining hall doors. He was much older now then when Neva had first met him, but he was still just as handsome. He smiled softly at his family before he quietly greeted them with a 'good morning'.

" Did I keep you all waiting long?" Yuno asked as he walked over to his wife and gave her a quick kiss, Neva shook her head.

" Nope, we all just got here a few minutes ago." Neva said softly as she watched her husband sit across from them.

" I got stuck in a meeting with my mother and a few nobles. They all want some sort of funding for a group project of theirs, and when my mother told them that they didn't give us enough good reasons to fund it, they got…irritated." Yuno said with a small sigh before he leaned back in his chair and pinched the bridge of his nose. " One of them even went as far as to offer their son as a suitor for Miku if we funded the project.''

" Surely you told them our children's lives weren't for sale? And that are more the capable of choosing their own suitors?" Neva asked with a raised brow and her arms crossed, Yuno didn't say a word, he just gave her a look she knew all too well. A look that told her that he said all of that and then some. Yuno was just as, if not more protective, of their children then Neva was.

" Did they forget that father even created a law that said we couldn't be forced into an arranged marriage?" Miku asked curiously as she took a bite of her breakfast, and Kito nodded.

" Nobles forget anything and everything unless it benefits them or they can somehow exploit it. And since they can't really exploit that law they forget that it exists." Kito told his sister in a matter of fact tone, his voice sounding similar to his father's whenever he explained things.

" Why are they that way? I mean, if I were them, I would want to get somewhere on my own merits, not because I cheated the system or used my connections." Kya said with a pout, causing Yuno and Neva to giggle. She sounded so much like both her parents in that moment, especially her mother.

" Not everyone is like you though Kya, the world is full of disgusting and greedy people who only know how to use people to get what they want." Miku said with a bit of annoyance in her voice. " Look at the nobles who tried to get father and grandmother to go along with their plan today; the moment they didn't get what they wanted they immediately offered up their son as a bargaining chip. He was willing to sacrifice his own child and his future for money and personal gain. They're nothing but greedy bastards who see people as pawns to be used whenever, and however, they see fit. And once the become useless they throw them away."

The room went silent at Miku's words. It was something they all knew all too well, especially after Yuno and Neva became King and Queen. They all had to be careful with who they trusted and who they let into their lives, especially their children.

" How about we talk about something more…pleasant." Yuno said after a few minutes and Neva quickly nodded in agreement.

" Yes let's do that," She said after clearing her throat. Her mind began to race as she tried to think of what they could talk about now when it suddenly dawned on her. " Oh I know, have you guys decided if you want to be Magic Knights yet? Or have you decided to stay here?"

It was something the Grinberryall family had talked about on a few occasions. The kids always went back and forth on whether they wanted to stay in Spade or if they wanted to go down to Clover and join the Magic Knights. But now Miku had her grimoire, and Kito would be getting his in a few months, so now they had to begin seriously thinking about what they wanted to do. But Neva and Yuno never pushed them in either direction, this was completely their own decision to make. And no matter what it was, they would fully support it.

" I'm going to join the Magic Knights!" Kya said firmly as she slammed her hand on the table, causing everyone to jump in surprise. Yuno and Neva looked at her with wide eyes before they glanced at each other and smiled.

" Are you sure? You still have a few more years to decide?" Neva asked but the girl quickly nodded.

" I'm sure mama! I wanna be a Magic Knight just like you and papa, and I'm gonna be a member of the Golden Dawn with Alistar and Uncle William!" She said with firm determination in her voice. Her ambitiousness at the moment was was nearly identical to her fathers.

" So does that mean I need to contact them and put in a good word for you with William and Alistar?" Yuno asked curiously and Kya quickly shook her head.

" Nope! I'm gonna take the exam and get in on my own merits!"

" Good, your father and I will be looking forward to hearing about it." Neva said with a calm and proud smile on her face as Yuno nodded in agreement.

" What about you Kito? Have you decided yet?" Yuno asked softly as he looked at his son, the young boy looked away and rubbed the back of his neck.

" I want to go to Clover and become a Magic Knight too, but," Kito glanced at his parents for a moment. " I don't want to be in the Golden Dawn, if I can avoid it I will."

Yuno and Neva looked at him with wide eyes before looking at each other in surprise. He wanted to avoid the Golden Dawn? But why?

" I…I don't want to be in the Golden Dawn because I know what will happen. People will compare me to dad and I'll always be under a microscope. If I do something wrong or if I don't act the way they expect me to they'll critisize me and say stuff like 'How is he possibly Yuno's son?' 'Maybe he was swapped at birth?' 'Maybe his mother had an affair? But that can't be right, he looks identical to his father!'. I get enough of those comments here at the Castle, I don't want to hear them from my potential squadmates too." Kito said softly yet in a very honest manner, Yuno and Neva looked from their son to each other again.

Everyone had heard the comments and rumors that the servants would spread every now and then, but they had tried their best to keep the rumors from ever reaching their children's ears. Apparently they hadn't done a good enough job if Kito was constantly hearing about them.

It was true that Kito and Yuno were pretty similar in their looks, but Kito's personality was closer to his mothers, especially when she was young. But there were moments where he would say or do something that resembled his father, and whenever someone pointed it out to the young boy he would always get upset and tell people not to compare him to his father.

Not because he hated his father, but because he loved and admired him so much.

" I understand Kito," Yuno said suddenly as the room had once again fallen quiet. " You can join whatever squad you want, and your mother and I will support you."

" He's right Kito, as long as you don't join the Purple Orcas I will support you." Neva said with a grin and in a joking manner, causing everyone in the room to laugh and chuckle.

" Don't worry mom, I already know what squad I want to join," Kito said with a smile on his face, when his parents and siblings gave him an inquisitive look he crossed his arms. " I plan on joining either the second or third best squads in Clover; The Black Bulls or the Crimson Lions. But personally I'm leaning towards the Crimson Lions."

" So does that mean I need to talk to Aunt Solara or Fuegoleon and have them put in a good word for you?" Neva asked curiously and Kito shook his head.

" No, like Kya, I'm gonna take the exam."

Yuno and Neva nodded at their son before turning to look at their eldest daughter who remained silent this entire time. In her purple eyes they saw an indecisiveness, and Miku was never indecisive about anything. She always knew what she wanted to do, and tended to stick with it. But right now…she looked conflicted.

" I know I should know what I want to do, but, I don't." Miku admitted softly as she looked at her parents. " I want to go to Clover and become a Magic Knight, but at the same time, I want to stay here a fulfill my duties as the Crown Princess, join the Mage Defense Divisons, and earn the trust of the people of Spade. But…I don't know what to do." Miku shook her head.

It really was a conundrum that Miku was in. On the one hand she wanted to go and see the world like her siblings, but at the same time she felt obligated to Spade, it's people, and to House Grinberryall. Neva and Yuno looked at each other, they really didn't have a good answer or words of wisdom for her.

" You still have time Miku," Neva finally said. " You only just got your grimoire recently, and you can't take the Magic Knight or Mage Defense Force exam until you're 16 anyway. So you still have time to decide." Neva said as she reached over and held her daughters hand before giving it a gentle squeeze.

" Your mother's right, you don't to make your decision today, tomorrow, or anytime soon." Yuno agreed as he reached over and gently patted his daughters head.

" I just…don't want to make the wrong decision and disappoint everyone. I don't want to disappoint you, mom, grandmother, the kingdom, it's citizens, I just don't want to be a disappointment." Miku said, her head hanging low.

" Miku, listen to me and you'd better listen well," Yuno started, his voice deadly serious as he kept his hand on top of his daughters head. " You will never be a disappointment to any of us. So forget about us and the kingdom and all of that, the person you shouldn't disappoint is yourself. If you want to go to Clover then go, if you want to stay then stay. It's your choice Miku, no one else's." Yuno finished firmly as he patted her head once again. Miku looked up at her father with wide eyes, his amber eyes held a seriousness but also a gentle warmness in them. She looked over at her mother, who nodded, and her purple eyes held the same look in them.

" No matter what I decide…you won't be mad?"

" No matter what." Neva and Yuno said in unison and the girl just nodded simply before muttering that she still needed to think about it.

Soon breakfast ended and the children all walked out of the dining room, leaving only their parents and their guards.

" I think we did a pretty good job raising our children, don't you think?" Yuno said with a small smirk, causing Neva to chuckle but nod in agreement.

" I think so too," She said as she took a sip of her coffee.

" I think we did such a good job that we could easily have another child and expect them to turn out the same way," Yuno said as he gave his wife a look, she snorted and shook her head at him.

" Absolutely not. Three children is more then enough I think." Neva said and Yuno pouted a bit.

" But four or five would be even better." Yuno said, his voice obviously joking and teasing, and Neva shook her head before standing up, walking over to him, and sitting on the arm rest of his chair.

" I take it you were reminiscing today as well?" Neva asked with a raised brow and Yuno nodded.

" I was, it's like…it's like one minute our children were babies and the next their teenagers." Yuno said with a sigh and shake of his head. " Where did all the time go?"

" It flew by like dust on the wind," Neva said with a sigh before she rested her head on top of her husbands. " Time is a funny thing; it can drag on forever, or disappear in the blink of an eye." She placed a soft kiss on her husbands head.

" When did you get so wise?" Yuno asked curiously and Neva smirked.

" I've always been wise." She said confidently but immediately frowned when her husband snorted.

" Could've fooled me." He said between chuckles, causing his wife to playfully hit his shoulder with a pout.

" Wow, I completely forgot how rude you could be." She muttered before she tried to stand up, but Yuno reached out, grabbed her waist, and pulled her down into his lap before hugging her tightly against him while apologizing.

As the King and Queen giggled and laughed, Claire and Ralph stood there with red faces and their eyes averted, meanwhile thinking the entire time: "Please get a room!"

Bonus:

" Miku, are you seriously thinking of going to Clover and becoming a Magic Knight?" Rem asked as she followed behind her charge. Miku nodded.

" I am, why?"

" Um because I just came from there and don't feel like going back? Not to mention I'm more likely to get reconized there then here!" Rem pointed out quietly as she stood beside the princess, who only smirked up at her.

" And yet you somehow managed to make it all the way from Diamond to Spade without being discovered,'' Miku crossed her arms and looked Rem in the eye, her smirk never leaving her face.

" Crown Prince of the Diamond Kingdom; Remus Deomine."
