Second Chance

Raiden made love to Jewels one more time in the wee hours of the morning.  Afterwards he cleans her up and tucks her into bed.  Raiden got ready to see his ministers to make sure the contract was ready for the Rowen's to sign.  Before he left, he kissed her on her forehead and left Roku to guard her.  For the first time in his life, he felt a peace he did not know could exist.  He felt a happiness that filled him up from head to toe.  He felt a lightness to himself that surprised even his closest bodyguards.  And for the first time, since they started serving him, they seen him smile on his own accord as he was lost in thoughts of last night's activities. 

Jewels woke up earlier then she would like, but not having Raiden beside her, she couldn't go back to sleep.  Feeling annoyed, she took a shower and changed her bed sheets herself before  Zeze saw and started asking questions.  Afterwards, she made her way to the dining room where she met her Uncle and Pop pop for breakfast.  Everyone was excited for their future.  As Jewels told Pop pop that he could take as many books he would like, because she could carry them in her grey space and no one would know the wiser. 

After breakfast, she sent word to her Master through their messaging system of an enchanted insect that could change itself into the letter that was sent.  She told him of her success at Madewell Tournament as well as her success at Sky Ship and that she has a present for him when they see each other.  She asked him to help scout for a mansion close to the palace because she intends to purchase it.  She told him of Raiden and her plan to get married in three years and not to tell anyone, until it can be announced.  She then sent her love to Fudo and her greetings to Nobu.  She sent the messenger and saw it fly towards the direction of Redbane. 

By the time she finished, Riaden and the Rowen's were in Uncle Jude's study going over the contract between Raiden and  the Rowen's.  Jewels came in just as both sides looked through the contract.  When Duchess Rowen was happy with it, she signed her name and stamped it with an official seal of the Rowen Clan.  Raiden also signed the contract and stamped it with a Royal Osamu Clan seal.  They switched the copied contract and again signed their names.  This transaction was done in front of witnesses from all three nations as Raiden brought all four ministers while Duchess Rowen brought, two ministers and Uncle Sam and Aunt Nora.  While, Uncle Jude, Pop pop and Jewels represented Madewell.  Once both contracts were signed, Raiden and Duchess Rowen shook hands as Duchess Rowen pulled Raiden into a hug.

"You are now my Grandson, please treat my Granddaughter well."

"I will." Raiden told her.

Both families had to go to the palace for more peace talks so they left the Brooks Manor. 

"Lets start packing shall we?"  Jewels suggested. "Anything you want to keep but think its too big to move, let me know and I'll put it in my grey space."

"Library." Pop pop first said. 

Jewels laughed and went to the library to start putting the books in to her grey space library.  Jewels spent a good portion of the day putting the books in her grey space.  When she finally finished, she went down stairs for a late lunch and found Uncle Jude going though documents in his study. 

"Is everything okay?" Jewels asked.

"These are important documents, can you put them in a safe place in your grey space?"

"Of course, I even built a safe for this every reason." Jewels told him as he handed her the stack of documents.

"Don't read them." Uncle Jude told her.

"I won't."

Jewels waves her hand and the documents disappeared right in front of his face.

"Anything else?" Jewels asked him.
