Britannia Part 17

"My father gave me permission to have the one that I love by my side as my wife," Taichi said as he had explained to sorry what had happened in the week.

"He did? He accepted me then?" Sora questioned with shock.

Kumiko came up to them, "You see Sora we didn't plan for you to fall in love with Taichi when we brought you under our wing," she said.

"I still do not understand," Sora said looking at the queen unsurely about what she had said to her.

"Long before my son and you were born we were friends with your father and mother. Your father was at one time a Lord of the province of Ishoro a province so laden with problems that eventually that the evil people took over the control pushing your father out and taking his title," she said quietly.

"Then how did I get here?" Sora asked carefully.

"Your father knew of us and came to the castle one stormy night where he told us what has happened to the province of Ishoro. Months later he met your mother a peasant running her own flower shop just with in the castle walls," she said.

"Because my mother was a peasant what did you do to him?" Sora asked feeling tears weld up in her eyes.

"We did not do anything it was his choice therefore we let them be," Kumiko said she turned to Taichi.

"Then it wouldn't have been so bad if we were together then would it?" Taichi asked his mother.

"No it would have not been bad but your father wanted someone else for you," she said solemnly.

"I do not know what to say," Sora said quietly after a few moments of silence had passed.

"There is no need to say a thing," Kumiko said then went to face her, "Welcome into our royal family."

Two months later…Yagami Castle- lunchtime

Yamato and Mimi walked hand in hand in the courtyard admiring the beautiful gardens and the new fountain that was placed in the middle commemorating the memory of King Haruko Yagami.

"My heart swells at the way Sora and Taichi have found their peace with the new baby," Mimi said as she glanced up at Yamato with a smile.

Yamato looked down at her, "She should have listened to advice I had given her and told him from the being when she had found out."

"Yamato you can not blame her for not wanting to let King Haruko find out of the child," Mimi said.

"No and maybe she was right in doing so. But enough of that in the past months I have felt pressure from my brother and Lord Daisuke too finally ask you to be the Queen of my province," he said straight out.

Mimi stopped and looked at him admiringly, "This is something new for you Yamato. I had not expected that you would simply come out and say your feelings."

"That is because with this experience with Sora and Taichi I have learned a lesson of not keeping secrets in too long," he said.

"It was a Secret?" Mimi asked.

"Well no with you it was more of me asking you then anything else," he said with a smile and took her hands in his while smiling down at her.

Mimi leaned in toward his lips and the two kissed just in front of the fountain.

"Oh mother I have not made a descion yet," Hikari said sitting next to her mother in the dinning room while Sora and Taichi who sat just opposite of them were preoccupied with their son.

"You are only about fourteen years old it does not hurt to see who would be the more suitable one for you," Kumiko said softly.

"Takeru is very charming but on the other hand Daisuke too is very daring and handsome," she explained.

"Either way you must chose one Hikari," Sora said from across the table.

"Well like mother said I am only fourteen I shall test both of them to see if they are both worthy of me," she said with a smile on her face.

Taichi and Sora laughed as Kumiko herself just smiled.

Later that evening at the coronation ceremony…

Taichi knelt in front of Kumiko, "With the placement of these crowns I know announce that Yagami, Taichi is now named the new King of the Yagami province," she said placing the crown his father had once wore on his head. With that, there was great applause and cheering as the crowd began to chant long live king Taichi.

As soon as that had happen, a band began to play music and couples began to dance to the slow melodic sounds the band played.

Hikari was dancing with Takeru they waltzed by Daisuke and another young girl who where dancing, "You do not dislike me do you?" he asked.

Hikari looked up at him as they danced, "No I do not," she said.

"But you do not think highly of me after what I had done to Daisuke," Takeru said feeling still ashamed for doing what he had did to him.

"There will always be Time for wounds to mend, I will need that time," she answered then looked away from him.

Sora and Taichi danced just a little while away from them, "So it has seems that the people have accepted us," Sora said looking up at Taichi.

"As it would appear so, yes. I was startled as well that they had taken a liking to Raidon so quickly," he said recalling earlier that they people had applauded after he had announced there was a hire to the thrown.

"The people want to see a hire which we have provided that is what they wanted for a while this is why your father wanted you to get involved with Princess Mimi," Sora said explaining to him the reason they were so overly rejoiced by the news.

Taichi nodded understanding her, "So Yamato and Mimi have their life ahead of them as do we," he replied softly.

"A life where we shall never be separated until death do we part," Sora said quietly.

Taichi leaned down to her and kissed her softly on the lips…

Fini

Epilogue small….

And so they lived happily ever after, Raidon was nearly the age of seven when they had conceived their second child. Taichi and Sora where then crowned Queen and King of the Yagami a year later Taichi's mother became ill and passed away.

Yamato and Mimi shared the thrown to the Ishida province and they then conceived a hire to the thrown about a year pass the day the Yagami coronation.

As for Takeru, Daisuke and Hikari, she is still undecided for her true feeling of whom she would like to be married to.
