"I shall-" before Eureka could finish her sentence she was stopped by Sana.
"Your highness? Is there something else you need of me?" she looked at Sana who was holding her hand.
"Could you uhmm… be our witness right now?" Sana asked not looking at her but instead was looking at Shigure.

"It's not that I don't like your highness, it's just I am not from this kingdom. So whatever I hear could be something I shouldn't hear," Eureka replied politely.
"No, it's alright, you stay. We are allied to each other, so your presence is fine," Shigure replied this time.
"I understand," Eureka replied and stepped at the side.
"So, what will you be asking me first?" Sana then looked at Shigure's eyes and asked.
"I," Shigure took a deep breath and looked back at her eyes.
"Will you be my enemy?" he then asked.
Pain crossed his eyes, this caused Sana's tears to well up. Shigure never showed his emotions to her, even during the night of their wedding, and when Theo was born he never showed his feelings. She then stepped forward and held his hands, "Will you trust me?"
"I'm….. scared?" Shigure asked in return, he knows that he had loved her even when they were just engaged, even though it's arranged marriage. It's just his the type of person who can't show his feelings to the person he loves. He could show it to Haruka and his parents, whom he had been with all his life, but somehow he couldn't show it to Sana, so even during their marriage, the night of their wedding, when he heard the news of her becoming pregnant, when Theo was born, he couldn't show it. Like something is stopping him.
"Is that why you never showed that you love me?"
He held her hand tighter, "I don't know but something is just stopping me."
"But I won't be your enemy, yes I know of the doing of my parents but I never wanted to follow them, I followed them just once and that is to marry you. Because even back when we weren't engaged yet, I had fallen in love to the prince who always takes care of his younger sister, I have been watching you both, I watched how you protect her because of her ability. And that made me fall in love with you. And if my parents decided to interfere, for example who Theo should marry, if they are the ones to choose I would have been against it. That is my promise, I will never hurt the family you cared so much for. I don't care even if my parents will disown me. So whatever it is that's stopping you to throw them in the dungeon. Don't let it stop you. I will be judged as well, I know but I don't care. Don't protect me or my family or those around you, especially since they are doing something wrong. Be a just king to each and every person of your kingdom," Sana explained as tears fall down from her eyes.
Shigure remembered her last words, that was way back when he inherited the crown, he had promised to be just to each and every person of the kingdom, no matter how close he is to that person as long as he did something wrong, he shall punish him the way he deserves.
"But they didn't do anything yet."
"They didn't but they're planning on overthrowing you once Theo is of age. That's why you have to act now. I shall be your evidence. I was there during their meetings after all."
"But if you do that..."
"I only have one request."
"What is it?"
"For me to stand against them, will you say you love me?"
Shigure was at first taken a back, he then smiled warmly at her and touched her cheeks, "I love you, I have always been in love with you. Maybe the fact that something is going on behind our backs, subconsciously I'm trying to stop myself from getting attached to you. But I do, I really do love you."
"Your family really do have strong intuition," Sana smiled.
Her tears never stopped as she smiled at him, she truly is very happy right now. Closing her eyes as he gets close to her.
"Ah that's right, I'm sorry you-" Shigure after kissing Sana, remembered that Eureka was there, but upon looking at where she was standing, she's no longer there.
A note was left in the snow piled wall, 'I have witnessed everything, just not your confession.'
Sana and Shigure both felt embarrassed, they asked her to be the witness of the talk but ended up letting her see something else.
"What a strange lady," Sana couldn't help but be amused.
"Truly strange and mysterious," Shigure added as he held her hand and lead her towards the grandhall where the victory ball is being held.
"I'm going to do it tomorrow," Shigure said after a few steps.
"I'll support you no matter what," Haruka answered as she lean on him.
"Thank you, for everything."

"You have improved again," Raven commented as his and Eureka's swords clash with each other.
Eureka after leaving the two behind, encountered Yukimura and the others who left the grand hall. She was then asked to spar with Raven.
"You as well," Eureka replied as she unsheathe her second sword.
"Dual?"
"The last time I used it against you was back to my trial to join your group," Eureka replied.
"I wonder if I would be able to keep up with that," Raven commented as he braced himself.
As their swords clash, even Yukimura and Azusa were amazed at how fast and well acquainted Eureka is to her two swords.
<She really can wield them almost equally,> Raven thought as he defend on one of her attacks once again.
<He must have been sparring with his father all this time,> Eureka thought, in reality she was assessing Raven, to use the ability weapon, one must be well trained in wielding a weapon, at the same time on their ability. If one condition is not met, then the weapon would kill its wielder.
Their bout ended in a tie.
"If you were serious, I wonder if I would be able to keep up?" Raven asked her as he lowers his sword.
"If ability is used then you will have a chance," Eureka replied as she put her swords back to their sheathes.
"You were assessing me, weren't you?" Raven then asked.
"Oh you've noticed?"
"You never use two swords in a sparring, I just added two and two together."
"Great perception, I must say."
"Back at you. Every plan, every step, you had them all thought up before getting into action. Even the time we came here. And to think we'd actually met Queen Haruka. The king, my father and you don't seemed shock a while ago though. You kept us both in the dark."
"If more people knows, then our travel here and the time we spent here would not be as peaceful, some enemies might suddenly attack and all."
"Then with the silent rule, the Archic Kingdom knows that Queen Haruka is alive, why didn't they inform those who were with them back in Aurora Kingdom? It's already been 20 years."
"It's because king Shigure was smart enough to intercept each and every information they're trying to leak."
"And they didn't notice?"
"No one seemed to notice back in Aurora, then maybe they didn't."
"Guys, seriously what silent rule?" Azusa who was listening finally butted in.
Raven looked at Yukimura, "Fine I'll explain."
He knows full well how his son and Eureka hates explaining things twice or thrice. After some explanation, "You can't tell this to anyone yet. Not until we find the conspirator in our kingdom," he then warned Azusa.
"I understand, sir," Azusa though shocked acknowledged. She had obviously noticed how they rarely interact with the other kingdoms, she just thought no one just fell in love with another royal. Who would have thought that it was planned for so long.
"How many more secrets does our world holds?" Azusa suddenly asked as they were walking back to the palace.
"Maybe, it's better for us not to know some of it. We might end up getting hurt even more when we found out some of it," it was Yukimura who replied.
The thought of finding out that the killer of your family was the king whom you serve, he somehow felt pity towards Ichiro. When they spoke with him, he can see how dead his eyes were. He was truly hurt by what he found out.
"He is a strong person, sir," Eureka suddenly said. She felt the emotions Yukimura was feeling.
"Can you read minds?" Yukimura couldn't help but ask.
"No, but your emotions are too strong right now," Eureka then sighed.
"Stop sighing now. I didn't mean to exude such emotions," Yukimura said in return seeing her demeanor.
"I shall go straight to my room now then sir.," Eureka bowed down after they have returned to the palace.
"She never really liked parties don't she?" Azusa looked at her.
"Even back when we were still students, she never liked it she said," Raven replied as they enter the grand hall.
