DISCLAIMER I DO NOT OWN BROTHERS CONFLICT IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM
Ema and Yusuke both moaned deep as they both kissed, neither one trying to stop the kiss.
The more the remained pressed together, the more the heat seemed to build between them.
Ema suddenly gripped Yusuke's shirt and pulled him closer.
wrapped his arms around her and squzeed Ema tight close to him. His hands began to slowly rub his hands across her back, trying to feel every part of her he could.
Ema suddenly pulled back, panting but smiling. Yusuke didn't say anything but also smiled brightly.
For a moment there was nothing but panting filling the room before Ema pulled Yusuke to her again for a kiss.
This time she pulled him so close, Yusuke started to stumble a little. He seemed to take advantage of the situation and found himself moving him and Ema towards the bed until Ema was laying on it him him on her.
"Yusuke?" Ema asked a little cautious as she broke the kiss, "are we doing this?"
"Uh, well, um, yes?" Yusuke sputtered, "do you want to?"
Ema looked like she was pondering the notion. "Well," she started to admit.
Yusuke gave her a understanding smile.
"It's probably just the adrenaline still built up from Rob-Dork's attack," he mentioned in agreement.
Ema nodded, "thank you," she said, "I'd rather have my first time in a more causal, romantic setting. Especially if it's going to be with you."
"Yeah, me too," Yusuke concured, even though he was still on top of her, and stroking her hair.
"Princess Ema, were youuuu...," Billy spewed out as he suddenly came into the room and caught the pair in their positions.
Both teenagers looked at him before simultaneously breaking into smirks.
"Did I interrupt something?" Billy asked sounding both confused and intrigued.
"Don't worry, it's not what it looks like," Ema assured him.
"Yeah," Yusuke insisted as he got up off of Ema, "nothing happened."
"Okay, if you say so," Billy allowed even though he only seemed to half believe them.
"What did you need Billy?" Ema asked.
"Oh, right, Chrissy asked me to see if you were hungry at all and wanted something," Billy said.
Ema shook her head no with a smile.
"I just want to lie down and get some rest please, Billy."
"Of course," Billy said, bowing his head, "Yusuke?"
"Coming," Yusuke replied, but not before giving Ema a good-bye hug. "Gets some rest, for all our sakes."
"I will, I promise," Ema said softly in his ear, returning the hug.
Yusuke gave her a kiss on the forehead and walked out with Billy. Ema watched them leave and kept staring at the door long after it was shut.
'Mmm, thank you Yusuke' she thought with pleasure as she replayed their brief intimate moment in her head.
She looked out the window of her room and could see the garden off in the distance. She could barley make out a Maebe tree off in the distance.
'I think, if I am going to truly be a princess and heir, I should finally do something big and serious,' she thought.
Billy waited until he and Yusuke were both round the corner before he turn Yusuke and whispered, "so, off the record, what's the verdict between you and the princess?"
Yusuke looked around with caution before he whispered, "we got close, real close. But we both realized that it wasn't right, at least not at that moment."
Billy patted his shoulder, "good for you. I think it's safe to say, she's all yours now."
"No," Yusuke said, "I'm her's."
"How much longer are you going to keep staring at me with that gun pointed at me?" Henry asked Alex, who was standing in front of him, still holding the gun.
"Why you getting bored?" Alex taunted , seeming to play with the gun. Henry just scowl at him.
"You won't win. You won't make it stick," he insisted, "you think I didn't plan for a situation like this?"
"Oh, so there isn't a reason to keep you alive?" Lord Markus asked as he suddenly came into the conservatory with Sophie.
Henry looked a little nervous as the man came up to him. And his nervousness was shown to be true when Markus pulled back and punched him hard against the face.
"You son-of-a-bitch! How dare you rape Wendy! How dare you rape my precious niece!" Markus bellowed mad.
Henry spit a little before he replied, "yeah? Well just know, you wouldn't have your little grand-niece now would you?"
That merely earned him another punch across the face from Markus.
"Don't you ever say that again! You should just consider yourself lucky the girl's father, aka Wendy's husband, Luke isn't here! He had you handing from the rafters already!"
Henry took a short glance up before looking back at Markus. "Your threats mean nothing to me old man."
"So sure? I know the castle a lot more better than you and I can hide your body in so many different places that no one would ever find you without tearing down the whole castle first!" Markus responded.
Henry looked like he was stuck on how to respond.
"Yes well, it would look pretty bad if the heir to the throne's personal gaurd were to suddenly disappear," he finally said.
"Heir to the throne?" Markus said, "I don't suppose you're referring to Robert, are you?"
"Why, wouldn't I?" Henry asked with caution.
"Well, it's possible that as of now, he's only 3rd in line, if he's even in line at all after all of this," Markus taunted.
"What?! What do you mean?!" Henry said as he shook in his chair.
"Well it may not be certain but there's a good chance Ema and Louis may have taken their places that were originally meant for their parents and now could be the next queen or king," Markus explained with a smug smile.
You're kidding! No!" Henry shouted mad, "they can't do that! Not after...," He suddenly stopped himself.
"Not after what?" Markus taunted, "not after all the hard work you did trying to eliminate their parents? With the car fire and bomb?"
Henry looked like he wanted to hide his head inside his shirt.
"You can't prove anything!" he warned.
"We'll see," Markus replied, "there's still always the option of hiding you away somewhere where you'll never be found again."
Henry looked away mad, as a few official gaurds showed up and started to untie him and the butler who had helped him.
Markus smiled with satisfaction as he turned to leave.
"Was that smart, letting him know that Ema and Louis have decided to be the true heirs to the throne?" Sophie asked as she walked behind him.
"Kind of, but still a risky move," Markus explained, "he know he doesn't have the full protection anymore, he may try cutting a deal or risk one last big move to get revenge."
"So Princess Ema and Lord Louis, they kicked Robert out?" Alex asked as he hurried over to the pair.
"For now," Markus said, "but King Stephon needs to work out such details later. This is big decision that needs to looked over and iron out the details."
"Hmm," Alex muttered, "I suppose it could be a good step in the right direction. At least it'll be better than Robert."
"Speaking of which young man, I do believe you need to give a statement on everything you may or may not have seen tonight," Markus told him.
"Alright, where do I go?" Alex asked.
"Let's find out," Markus offered as he hurried along. The three walked along until they came across a heavily gaurded room of both royal gaurds and some of the prime minister's security staff.
"I guess this would be it,"
"Can we help you Lord Markus?" a royal gaurd asked.
"Just bringing Mr. Mayter here to give his statement."
"If he wants, he can wait over there until the prime minister and the gaurd taking notes are done with the lady they're talking to now," a member of the security team offered, nodding to a pair of pink flower chairs with a table in between.
"Sure, I'll do that," Alex agreed as he took a seat.
"Do you wish for something to eat or drink?" Markus asked, "I can get a servant?"
"Eh, maybe," Alex allowed, "I do feel like I could use something, just not sure what."
"Well maybe you'll figure it out once the servant gets here to serve you," Marcus said as he walked over and bit a button.
"Sure," Alex said as just stared off, deep in thought.
Markus and Sophie walked on by themselves. Sophie wrapped her arm around her uncle's waist.
"Do you think it'll happen?" she asked, "do you think Ema and Louis will be put in the line of succession?"
"Hmm, who knows," said Markus, "as of now, tomorrow's more uncertain than ever. This country and palace are completely different now. And they will never be the same again."
"I hope Ema and Louis turn out okay in the end," Sophie said, "especially if no matter what, I can continue to get to know Louis better."
"I'm sure, that part hasn't changed much," Markus assured his niece.
Tsubaki and Bea walked together arms around each other and smiling.
"Boy your sister really taped into her royal roots back there huh?" Bea mentioned.
"Yeah she almost sounded like a monarch back there when she told Robert off," said Tsubaki.
"That and she practically recited a speech both her great-great-grandmother and great-great-great-grandfather both did," Bea explained.
"Really?" Tsubaki asked intrigued.
"I'll tell you about it later. I'm too tired to go into details over things like that," Bea declared.
"Fair enough," Tsubaki agreed.
"Bea! Beatrice!" the two suddenly heard Bea's mother calling out.
"Up here Mom," Bea called down to wherr she had heard her mom calling.
She waited until she saw her mother catching up to her and Tsubaki.
"Oh thank goodness! You're alright!" she said with a sigh of relief. She motioned her daughter to her.
"Come on, we should leave before we're all locked up again! That way we can discuss more about you calling off the engagement to Robert."
"Mom, are you seriously still going on about that? It's over and done. I'm never going back to him," Bea maintain to her mother.
"We'll discuss this once we've left! I'm sure Robert will help the king straighten this out," said Mrs. Matthers.
"Uh, no mom, that's not going to happen," Bea said, "especially since Robert was basically kicked out verbally by the new heir or heirs I should say."
"What?" her mother asked.
"Oh yes, my little sister decided to step up and be queen," Tsubaki said with a smirk, "so more or less told old Robbie to get lost. He ain't going to be king now"
Mrs. Matthers gasped and screamed.
"No!" she cried as she dashed off, "dear! Dear! Robert's been dethroned!" She took off running.
"Let's split before she can find us again!" Bea urged as she pulled Tsubaki along. Both were laughing by the time they found a new hiding place.
Bea wrapped her arms around Tsubaki's neck.
"Now I really feel free!" she declared, "really feel like there's nothing tying me down." However she looked down a little upset, "I just wish it hadn't been at your brother and sister's expenses."
"You mean now they have the huge burden of being king or queen someday?" Tsubaki asked.
Bea nodded.
"Hey, you didn't do that to them, they chose it," Tsubaki tried to cheer her up.
"I know, but it still sucks they're still stuck with all the strain and pain from now on," Bea said.
"Well, maybe they don't mind it so much," Tsubaki insisted.
"I guess you would know, given you've known them better than me," Bea replied, before kissing him
"How's everything going?" Stephon asked after a long while, still in his room thinking.
"Chrissy says the they're going through the witnesses as quickly as possible. However everyone is getting weared out and are exhausted. Some are cautious about heading home."
"Let anyone who wants to spend the night here, just stay here then. As long as they make sure we get their statements," Stephon insisted.
"Thank you sir," Richard said, "that might make a lot of your boys happy."
Stephon chuckled, "oh I bet. My boys have selected themselves some nice friends."
"Just friends?" Richard asked.
"Some of them only met these ladies a day or two ago. I think they should take it slow," Stephon insisted.
"Also, how long are you going to keep referring to the Asahina brothers as your boys?" Richard also asked.
King Stephon shrugged his shoulders.
"As long as I desire to see them as such. And they allow me to," he answered, "they're family Richard, and no one can take that away from me."
"Good, congratulations your majesty," Richard praised.
"Richard, can I actually have some time alone, to clear my head?" Stephon asked.
"Only if you do so in your room, just in case," Richard advised.
"Yes, of course," Stephon agreed as he stood up and allowed Richard to escort him to his chambers.
When they got there, Stephon looked towards the housing area for Marion and saw her talking to Bernard.
"And what's going on here?" King Stephon asked as he walked over to the two squirrels.
"I was just thanking Bernard for alerting the scurry to what Robert had intended and helping us to make sure we could help some of Chi's brothers and friends," Marion explained.
"And Inwas also giving a formal apology for pushing her out of the tree and breaking her toe," Bernard reluctantly added.
"You alerted the scurry?" Stephon asked.
"Robert told me everything, how he wasn't even above killing one or two to make a point to the princess," Bernard explained, "and I figured I owed her for showing me mercy and being fair when she question me and duled out a punishment for attacking Marion here."
"Bernard, I thank you," Stephon priased as he actually stroked Bernard's fur with one of his fingers, "and as such, I revoke your punishment. You may go back to the Golden Maebes tree if you wish."
Bernard actually looked pleased and touched.
"I thank you your majesty," he said bowing, "but I've kind grown found of the little bird house I've been calling home. So have my brother and sister. They came to see me when I was banished and we became quite comfortable living there."
"Well, if you wish to stay there then by all means," Stephon allowed, "just you can return to the Golden Maebe tree whenever you wish."
"Thank you," Bernard said as he bowed and hurried out.
"He always was a good kid," Marion said, "he just wanted to live up to his great-grandfather's legacy, since he was your great-grandfather's companion."
"I know," Stephon said.
"He says he's more or less given up on being Robert's companion from here on out. It was getting frustrated with not being able to talk to him for real like we do," Marion also mentioned.
"Good for him, he deserves better," Stephon said. He outstretched his hand towards Marion.
"Something on your mind, Majesty?" Marion asked as she was able to crawl herself into his hand.
"Yes, and I wanted to run it by you first, since you're my most trusted advisor," Stephon told her, "it pertands to Ema and Louis wanting to be successors to me, just like her mother and his father."
Ema slowly opened her eyes smiling the next morning as the sun shown in through her window.
"Good morning Elence," she found hersel saying as she stretched her arms and slowly put her feets down onto the floor.
She started to stretched some more when there was knock at her door.
"Who is it?" she asked.
"It's me, Chrissy,"
"Come in please," Ema allowed.
Chrissy poked her head in, "how are you feeling this morning your highness?" she asked.
"Mmm, still a little tired," Ema admitted as she tried to streching more.
"We were wondering that. Would you like to have your breakfast in here this morning?" Chrissy asked.
"Mmm, no, I'd still want to have breakfast in the dinging room. I want to see as many of my brothers as possible and see how they're doing," Ema insisted.
"If that is your wish, I'll let the staff know," Chrissy said as she headed out, "and if you want, you can even come wearing your pajamas if you wish."
"Thank you Chrissy," Ema said. However she still walked over to her closet and pulled out a new outfit, a plain simple pant and shirt combo. "I'll be down soon."
Chrissy nodded and left.
When Ema came outside after changing, she was a little surprised that Chrissy was waiting for her.
"I hate to ask but is my security going to rise now?" Ema asked a little timid.
"Here and there," Chrissy acknowledged, "I just wanted to escort you around for now, given there's no telling how Robert's loyal servants might chose to react to this."
"I understand," Ema said with a soft smile.
"I'm actually proud of you for the way you told him off," Chrissy mentioned.
"Really?" Ema asked.
"I think a lot of your ancestors are too, especially Queen Katherine and King Stephon the1st," Chrissy added.
"And my mother?" Ema asked.
"Oh your mom would be so proud of you!" Chrissy insisted, "and your grandmother."
Ema nodded, "I wonder if Louis' parents would feel the same."
"Most assuredly," Chrissy said.
When Ema came to the dinging room, she saw it was empty. She was a little disappointed since she had hoped to see her brothers all around the table talking and laughing while enjoying their meal.
"Have a seat your highness," Chrissy insisted as she pulled out a chair for her.
"Chrissy, do you know where all my brothers are or if they want to join me here for breakfast?" Ema asked as she sat down.
"I do not know at this point your highness," Chrissy said.
"hmm," Ema hummed.
Just then the doors opened and in came Masaomi, Ukyo, Wataru along with Erica and Hannah.
"Big sister! Good morning!" Wataru shouted as he ran over and hugged her.
"Hi Wataru!" Ema said as shd hugged her youngest brother back.
"Guess what happened last night?! After we went back to the stables?! The mare had her baby!" Wataru said proudly.
"Oh did she?" Ema said intrigued.
"Uh-huh, we couldn't see if it was a boy or a girl since Natasha said we had to be cautious around it. But she and Rose said we can come back today to find out! You want to come too?!"
"Maybe," Ema agreed.
"You'll like it, it is so cute!" Wataru said excited.
"I'm sure Ema will see it in time," Masaomi said as he gently pulled Wataru away and pushed him towards his own seat.
"It was pretty amazing watching it be born," Erica said, "I've never seen something like that before."
"I'm surprised you and Miss Hannah are here so early," Ema said.
"Actually, we spent the night," Hannah mentioned, right as Ukyo helped pull a chair out for her.
"You did?" Ema asked.
"Everyone that was involved in the attack last night did," Chrissy explained, "they needed all their statements so the king allowd everyone to stay the night so they could rest up."
"That was nice of Grandfather," said Ema. "Did you ladies sleep well?"
"Oh yes! The room was amazing! And the beds were so comfy!" Hannah said excited.
"Good to see you were able to enjoy it, given how little you slept there," Erica joked.
"How would you know? Just because you got to the room first," Hannah muttered.
"How long did the interrogations go?" Ema asked.
"Oh, not that long for me," admitted Hannah, "it's just afterwards, your brother Ukyo made dinner for the two of us." She looked down a little embarrassed by it. Ema looked towards Uyko who also looked both a little embarrassed and happy at the revelation.
"What about you Erica? Did you sleep well?" Ema asked trying to change the subject.
"Sure," said Erica, "after we watched the foal get born, we took Wataru with us back to the terrace and just sat there talking until Wataru fell asleep."
"That's what happened?" Wataru asked.
"Yes, then we carried you to your room and after putting you to bed, Miss Tanner and I stepped out and and talk some more, nearly all night," smiling at Erica.
"Good for all of you," Ema said.
"I knew they were your girlfriends!" Wataru said.
His brothers both gave him an annoyed look.
"Wow the royal dinging room?"Elizabeth said out loud as she came in with Kaname, "I'm almost too afraid to sit down. You guys actually eat here?"
"But if course, only best for a family as distinguished as ours," Kaname bragged.
"I'm almost afraid to sit down," Elizabeth said.
"Please just sit Miss Smith," Chrissy insisted.
"Yes, do as the lady says," Kaname said as he pulled out a chair for her.
Elizabeth reluctantly obliged.
"Did you sleep well Miss Smith?" Ema asked.
"Yes, when I finally did get to bed," said Elizabeth, "I had to give my statement, had to sort some things out with my office. Had to make sure my car would be ok where I left it until this morning. And the whole time I was doing of those things, this guy," she pointed her thump towards Kaname, "kept following me around, spewing romantic nonsense, tempting me with food and drink and also trying to give me massages to, quote, help me relax!"
"They would have if you let me finished," Kaname insisted smugly.
"Not where you were touching!" Elizabeth snapped, "or the way you were "offering" me the food!"
"Well I was only attempting to help nourish yourself," Kaname tried to explain smoothly.
"You are such a pig!" Ukyo hissed at him.
"How's your sister?" Hannah asked softly.
"Sister?" Ema asked.
"Oh, Emily? I guess she's fine," Elizabeth said, "she said once she was done giving her statement she was going to help Natsume more with his so called game he creating for the king. She wasn't in the room when I came here and was gone when I woke up this morning.
"Did she even come to the room?" Masaomi asked.
"Oh yes, the bed was messed up along with a pair of discarded pajamas on it," Elizabeth explained.
"Who was what?" Emily asked as she came in along with Natsume.
"We were just making sure you got some sleep last night Miss Smith," Masaomi explained, "since your sister said she hadn't seen you in the room when she went to bed or woke up."
"Yeah, sorry, I figured I'd take advantage of her staying here over night to help go over some concepts to my game," Natsume informed them.
"Are you into gaming Miss Smith?" Ema asked.
"Ehh," Emily sputtered, "I never considered it a career option. I always wanted to study history like my father."
"Which has been very helpful in developing a story board for the game," Natsume mentioned, "with her guidance, I hope the game will feel like an authentic Elence theme game that residents of the country can appreciate."
"I'm glad you're so willing to put so much devotion into the game Natsume! Thank you!" Ema complemented.
"Well, it was a personal request from the king," Natsume tried to brush it off, "and I know how important it is to you."
Ema beemed with happiness.
"Oh, so he is alive," Tsubaki teased as he came in, along with Bea and Azusa. He had his arm around Bea's shoulders in an affectionate manner.
"Guess I owe you five bucks," Bea joked.
"It is good to see everyone doing well this morning," Azusa mentioned as he sat down.
"Is there news on the foal?!" Wataru asked running over to him.
"No Wataru, I just woke up," Azusa told him patting his head. "But we can go check the stables after breakfast. I want to see how Natasha's doing and I'm sure Subaru will want to check on Rose."
"Oh the mare had her baby?" Bea asked.
"Yeah, don't know yet if it's a boy or a girl! Can't wait to find out!" Wataru said excited.
"You hoping for anything specific?" Bea asked.
"Uh, I guess kind of a girl. That was we can name her after Big Sister or Lady Sophie," Wataru speculated.
That earn him an amusing chuckle or caring sigh from nearly everyone at the table.
"Did I miss something?" Iori asked walking in.
"Wataru was telling us what he'd like to name the new foal if it's a filly," Masaomi explained.
"Iori, where's Jane?" Ema asked.
"She decided she wanted to get back to work, just so she can get a feeling of getting back to normal," Iori explained.
"Oh, I wouldn't mind if she wanted to join us for breakfast. Along with Rose and Natasha," Ema said, "they deserve that much."
"I'm sure they'd appreciate that Princess," Chrissy said, "but they are staff and know their duties."
"Oh," Ema said softly.
"However, if you did want to invite them to join you for a meal, especially as a reward for their sevices last night, you can invite them to a formal dinner," Chrissy also said, "I'm sure your grandfather would obliged. That goes for all the other ladies that were able to join you for breakfast."
"Oh, then I'll ask grandfather for that when he come in!" Ema said with delight.
"What's taking grandfather so long?" Wataru asked a little impatient.
"I'm sure he'll be here soon, Wataru. He had a rough night too don't forget," Masaomi said. He didn't seem to correct Wataru in calling the king grandfather as well.
"Good morning all!" Hikaru cheered as he came springing into the room, "good to see most here and doing well!"
"Hi Hikaru," Ema said, "where's Heather?"
"Oh she went home with her mother last night after the interview. She figured her mother would want to keep her close and make sure she's safe after what happened," Hikaru explained, "but she's coming back early this morning. With the deliveries." He cast a smirk around the table at his different brothers.
"What kind of deliveries?" Ukyo asked.
"The ones that we were working on so hard on yesterday before we were so rudly interrupted," Hikaru said excited.
"Is it the dresses you offered to get us?" Erica asked.
"Oh, Masa, I must say you have a winner there!" Hikaru said.
"Does this mean we need to stick around a little longer?" Emily asked.
"Could you?" Hikaru asked sweetly.
"Well, I gues it couldn't hurt," Emily agreed. She looked over at Elizabeth, "maybe you and I can talk more? Since we didn't get to really last night."
"Maybe," Elizabeth agreed, "I do admit, after going back to mom's place and here her say why she kind of pushed me away, I feel like I understand her a little better and feel like some weight has been lifted."
"Wonderful," Kanama praised, "it's good to know you're on the road to recovery!"
"It almost sounds like we're going to be here all day at this point," Hannah mentioned.
"Well, you guys can look at it as a day to try and relax after the day you had yesterday," Chrissy said, "I'm sure the king would insist on it."
"That might not be so bad," said Erica a little intrigued.
"What is?" Subaru asked as he walked in.
"The ladies all staying here for the day to try and relax," Ema explained.
"Oh, sure," Subaru shrugged as he sat down.
"Hey Subaru!" Wataru started to ask.
"I don't know anything in regards to the foal Wataru," Subaru quickly answered, "we can go check on it after breakfast."
"Oh, okay," Wataru allowed with a smile.
"Oh my head," Futo complained as he came in. Ami was right behind him as usual. "I bet it wouldn't have hurt so much if we had made it to the club last night."
"Are the pain killers not working?" Ami asked.
"Not yet, but good ones usually take a while before they kick in," Futo insisted as he sat down, "but keep my breakfast simple will you please?"
"Yes my lord," Ami said as she set about to prepare his breakfast. Ema watched as Ami walked around to prepare Futo's breakfast. She looked paler than usual.
"Ami, are you feeling alright?" she asked.
"Just a little frazzled from last night is all," Ami insisted. Her voice sounded softer than usual as well.
Futo also studied his maid as she moved around the room. He actually was feeling worried about her after what she did last night. Even though Tommy deserved it, there was no doubt it still disturbed Ami.
"Ami?" he said as she came and put his plate.
"Yes master?" Ami asked.
"Don't worry about calling me Master today. Today, I want to do what you want to do. Anything you say, we'll do. Even if it's me putting on the maid uniform and serve you."
"Well that would be a sight," Hikaru remarked with a smirk.
"Why?" Ami asked.
"I think you deserve it," Futo said, "I am a nice guy after all."
"You? A nice guy? Ha!" Yusuke snarked as he came in.
"Nicer than you ever could be," Futo shot back.
"Since when?" Yusuke continued to mock.
"Yusuke, please, may we just all get along this morning?" Ema asked politely.
"Sure," Yusuke agreed as he walked over to her closest chair to her and sat down with a confident smile. Ema returned the smile and and actually put her hand on top of his.
This earned a suspicious look on each of their brothers' faces.
'What is this?' each thought in their own way.
"Oh, good you're all here," King Stephon said as he walked accompanied by Louis and Richard.
"Louis!" Ema said happily as she stood up and ran over to him, giving gim a hug.
"Good morning Chi," Louis said happily as he returned the hug kindly, "how are you this morning?"
"I feel fine," Ema assured him while alos looking towards her grandfather with a reassuring smile, "how are you?"
"I'm just as well, thank you," Louis swore.
"Good, I want to talk to you both after breakfast," King Stephon said as he went and took his usual seat at the head of the table. He looked around at the other boys as well.
"Good morning lads," he said with a pure happy tone.
"Good morning Grandpa!" Wataru cheered, "guess what?! The baby horse was born last night!"
"How splendid!" King Stephon said, "a fine way to end that full day I'd say."
"Yes," Ema agreed as she went to sit back down, "grandfather may I ask you something?"
"Of course my dear," Stephon insisted.
"Well, I was just wondering, with Robert no longer in line for the throne, could I ask that the kidnapping charges against my dad be dropped and he be allowed to come to Elence? Along with my mom?"
Stephon smiled a tender smile.
"Yes, the kidnapping charges are hereby dropped and your father is welcome back. I insist on it! I want him and your mom for the ball!"
"Thank you Grandfather!" Ema exclaimed as she hugged him, "it'll be so nice to have all of my family, both my Japanese and Elence family together!"
