Fire Queen

Chapter: 17

She nodded, "Other than that from now, you will keep me updated about everything, and nothing will happen without my permission, if something happens I want to be the first to be informed"

"Yes my queen",
"You may leave, tell Jun to come in" she stood up bowed, and left, "You are taking the queen thing seriously" Kai laughed after she left,

I ignored her statement, "Jun, come take a seat" I pointed in front of us and she did as told,

"Jun I want to know that your loyalty lays with me?"

I asked, "It does my queen" she answered without wasting a minute, "Good"

"Jun you and Kai are in charge of the wedding, I want everything perfect" she nodded,

"Kai I trust your taste, you will handle Food and Decoration, make sure to match royal standards, Jun I want you to bring me the designers who design for royals, we have to pick a perfect dress, other than that I will choose bridesmaids"

They both nodded, Jun goes up and left, "Don't worry everything will be great" Kai smiled, I smiled back,

"You seem tensed," Kai said standing beside me at the entrance of the palace, we are waiting for Lady Ursa, Zuko and Uncle Iroh went to the docks to get her,

"I'm fine", I took a deep breath, you can see three carriages being carried by men walking toward the palace, they stopped right in front of the stairs, Zuko got out first, then walked to another carriage helping women get off, that will be his mother,

"Mother meet my wife Ryu", Zuko introduced, she is very pretty even in her old age, "Fire Lady Ursa" I bowed,

"I don't think I am fire lady anymore" she smiled, Zuko has her eyes, she grabbed me by my arm and pulled me in a hug, she gave me a tight hug, "Welcome to the family" she smiled,

"Thank you" there is a small girl, in Zuko's arms, "And you will be?" I asked looking at her, she is so cute,

"I am Kiyi Zuzu's sister" she replied, "Hello than princess Kiyi" I nodded, at  hearing being called princess, she smiled from ear to ear,

"This is my husband Noren" Lady Ursa introduced the man standing behind her, "Fire lady" he bowed and I returned with one, "Nice to meet you, sir"

"Please come in"

"Lady Ursa," I said offering her more tea, we are sitting around drinking tea, just family, "Please call me a mother like Zuko, from now  you are like my daughter" i gave her a small smile, i haven't used that word for someone in so long,

"What did I offend you," she asked me catching on, "No, No, I am so happy that you think of me as your daughter, I lost mine when I was young, I would love to have someone I call mother",

she leaned in and kissed my forehead, "you are my daughter from this day," she said, making one tear escape my eye, she whipped it off,

"Zuzu I can't wait to show you my bending skills" Kiyi changed the topic, she is a small firecracker,

"Zuzu?" I asked, laughing, you can practically see his cheeks turn pink, "Yeah Azula gave him that nickname when they were young, now Kiyi have picked up on that" Ursa explained,

"I love that; from now I will call you Zuzu too," I said smirking,

"No, you will not" he warned,

"Yes I will" I challenged him, "I forbid you"

"I don't care" I laughed, you can see a little smile forming at the corner of his face,

"I want you to tell me everything about Zuzu's childhood," I asked Ursa "Ryu" he warned,
