5 years later
“Your Majesty, how about this?” Looking out the window, Ruve frowned his eyebrows towards the aide who constantly asked. Maybe He just impatient, and his appearance was even more annoying today, but since Ruve was in a bad mood, he couldn't answer and thrown the documents out,
"I don't know why it's a problem again. I'm sure there was a similar incident last year. Who's in charge?"
"A Count of Leslin."
"Send a summons right away. If you can't find a solution by this time tomorrow, I'll take the responsibility. Is that all?"
"Yes, Your Majesty"
Ruve asked back irritably, "What else?" he said, "It's nothing to be embarrassed about."
The reaction was surprisingly slow for a self-supporting the emperor of a country. "If you didn't have the ability, I'd cut it off."
Once again, Ruve looking out the window and measuring the time, he stepped out of the central palace at a quick pace. His heart was trembling in hurry because he has been late for promised time.
As he walked past the arched door made of rattan for a long time, he saw the guards standing at the end of the narrow trail. There is also a silver flower tree set in the middle of a small garden spread out behind it.
Ruve quickly ordered the guards to stood at the entrance for a moment and silently looked at the large and small spirits gathered in the shade of a flowering tree.
A woman with a silver hair and a silver smile, her face that looks like her. A silver-haired girl who is talking hard, a boy with blue hair listening to his sister's
and a silver-haired girl who looks at her brothers with her fair eyes
( Oh so Elina have a silver hair too )
Ruve saw the glimpse of four people who captured his heart all the time, the irritation and tiredness that had been enveloping him all morning was washed away at once.
He moved a step
"... everything ?"
"But I think it's right that you did it wrong."
A child's distinctive voice was heard between the narrow streets. Ruve smiled softly at the two children, who had a serious look at the conversation.
Diana, who complained to her younger brother
and there's Adrian, who listened to her with an expression that was not like a 5 years old child, was so cute.
"No! It's because you didn't see the situation! And you, no matter how much you do, shouldn't you take my side? How can you side with Gradis?"
" But you did it wrong !"
"Hey, brother and sister don't fight." said the girl, who grabbed her mother's skirt with one hand, with a tearful voice, as if she were frightened by the rising voice.
The Two children shook their heads as they hurriedly stopped talking to each other as they were about to burst into tears.
"No, Elina. We didn't fight. Who says we're fight ?"
"That's right. So don't cry. After you cry, your Majesty said it was a bad child, didn't you?"
Adrian paused for a moment to listen quietly to the lovely look, and suddenly looked at Diana, who consoled her youngest sister with a puzzled look.
The silver-haired girl, who sighed with a smile, poked the girl.
"Elina, Your Majesty is here. Go on and say hello?"
" Your Majesty !"
a small child with a broad face jumped out of her chair, Ruve smiled, hugging the child who was running.
"Why are you so late, Your Majesty?'
"I'm sorry. I tried to come early, but things kept coming up. Did you wait a long time?"
"Yes, I waited a long time. The Queen Mother said we shouldn't eat cake before you came. is it your favorite cake?
Tia ntered the shade in a confused mood, holding Elina, nodding her head, with a gentle smile
"Welcome, Ruv. You must have had a lot of work to do."
"Not really, but my assistant, kept on clinging to me. I had a hard time keeping my temper."
"Don't do that. Isn't that all for the Empire? he also a hard worker"
Tia comforted Ruve in a placid, gentle voice, then she looked back at the children and said
"Diana, Adrian, do you have say hello to Your Majesty ?"
"Welcome, Your Majesty!
" You guys here?"
Diana, with charming smile, Adrian, who only looks down, and Elina, with her head around Tia's neck and burying her head.
The three children who born from Tia were varied in personality as their appearance.
Among them, only Adrian seemed to be very cold, resembling him, but nevertheless, Ruve feel he is cute.
If he reach out and stroke Adrian's hair like now, his eyebrow frowning and his neck turn red, Such a childlike appearance.
Sometimes he was seen as a cold-hearted son in the middle of the beauty of his two daughters. Even though he and Tia do not feel that way.
Once again, he stroked Adrian's head, and Ruve sat in the empty seat, hugging Elina. As soon as she adjusted her posture and sat on his lap, Elina immediately picked up a small fork and said,
"Your Majesty, can I have the cake now?"
"Let your mother eat first."
"Mother, Have some cake."
"Yes, you should eat a lot, too" Ruve pretended to hold up the fork, the little boy, swallowing his saliva, looking at him, and glanced at the cake plate as if he had waited.
Ruve looked happy for a moment, he looked down and turned the fork down to the table and looked around. "Oh, Tia."
"Yes, Ruve."
"That's what you said last night, shall we take a look? "
"Ah yes. Okay "
"Good thing, Then let's go after the tea time. "
"Yes, then."
The warm, glowing golden pupil bent gently towards him. Ruve smiled face to face as she smiled calmly. It's been 14 years since he inherit the throne. It has been a long time.
There was a lot of work going on, but because of Tia, He was able to take over this great empire and not be lonely. She was the only one who could stand in a place like that and worry together.
"Oh, you started again."
"Yes."
"Honestly, isn't that a bit too much? "
"No, of course it's a good thing for us to have a good tooth, but........"
"Well, what can I do? our children, should understand. Let's eat the cake too. Elina will eat it all."
Ruve, who was trying to squeeze Tia soft hands stopped at the sound of a conversation that was coming and going. Diana and Adrian Whisper each other
Tia quickly raised her hand with a hot expression and said hurriedly, thrusting out a teacup
"Hurry up and eat. It's going to get cold at this way."
"Well, let's do that. Help yourself to the table "
Elina, sitting on his knees in an awkward mood, flung out her arms and took the cup to her mouth.
Her Tea which was getting more and more excited over the years, really suited his taste. The wind made him unable to keep a mouthful of any more tea she had made herself. it seems like a loss, but if he want to do anything, he can't. Tia is always by his side with those lovely children anyway.
Ruve promised her that he would live with her forever. with one's eyes closed for a while and under the gentle scent
something cold suddenly came into his mouth. The little girl, who smiled sweetly, shook his face.
"Have a cake, Your Majesty!"
" Thank you, Elina. "
Ruve could feel the white cream splatters everywhere on his face, but he with a smile still ate her daughter's cake. He couldn't let down his daughter, who was just smiling and smiling because of the cream.
"Hahaha, Your Majesty! What's with your face! ".
"Oh my god Elina, be careful...."
Tia, with a smile on her lips looked at Adrian, hurriedly took out the handkerchief. Perhaps his face wasn't as serious as it seemed, but everyone laughed or not, and Elina, who cut the cake again and again, laughed as she threw the fork to her mother.
"Your Majesty also eat cake!"
"Oh? Oh, are you giving it to Me?"
"This is really good! ”
“Yes, thank you, my daughter.”
Ruve struggled to swallow his laughter at his wife, who was eating the cake with a look of delight. It was very funny to see her always put white cream on her lips. He seemed to notice her inner heart,
"Please don't look at me like that. Your Majesty, it's the same for you."
"That's right, but......the pole, it's too... It's a long smile."
"Oh, don't laugh.!!"
"You look so cute with a sulky face that doesn't look like the woman who gave birth to three children"
Ruve took the handkerchief from her with a big smile on his face. Then instead of wiping her face, he stretched out his arms and wiped the corners of her mouth.
"Don't be so angry. I didn't see you as a child, but you looked cute."
"Your Majesty please don't forget we're here, too......argh! Now, Adrian, Elina, we've finished the cake, shall we go over there and play? I saw a lot of flowers blooming on my way here," said Diana, who Pinch Adrian's waist ask him to standing up.
Elina, who nodded immediately, jumped out of the chair.
Ruve grinned at Diana, who was quick to turn away. Perhaps because she has been through similar things for a long time, her behavior was also very quick. Well, of course it was very grateful for him,with a gentle smile on their lips as they move away from each other.
Aristia, looking at her children for a while.
"My children, aren't they pretty?"
" I'm already worried about how to get married later. "
" That's right. I was never happy when I was a child and I never thought that this day would come. "
"I do too, Tia. I didn't even dream of sitting next to you and smiling like this. It's even more that we're going to be with the children who resemble us."
He leaned. Ruve drank deeply the fragrance of her characteristic lavender, carefully raising his arms and covering her slender shoulders.
" I love the Children off course, but always to me, Tia, you are the most important. You have always been something crave for me, and you have been the only resting place for my heart, and I have the same breath. I will continue to do that. "
"What are you doing? Do you think of me too?"
"Yes. Forever, as it has always been."
The laughter of children coming from far away. Deep in his heart filled with a warm feeling that cannot be changed with anything in the world. With his eyes full of loved ones, like a soft silvery mermaid
Ruve smiled with a smile as he swept down the wind.
It was a warm spring afternoon.
