"She was... our former queen," Yukimura looked straght in her eyes and replied.
Haruka's eyes widened, she never expected this information. So she was...
"Let's go and rest, the day was long," Yukimura stood up and said. Mutsumi didn't comment and guided Haruka to the room she was using.
"No one is stopping him from falling in love all over again," Mutsumi said to Haruka as she went to her room as well.
*****
"I can tell you limited information, it is still Akihiro's right to tell you everything," Yukimura said, he didn't went to bed but instead waited at the garden, knowing full well that Haruka would be looking for him.
"Am I causing him pain, for being here?" Haruka instead asked.
"I don't know, to be honest he never spoke about this ever since we arrived so I also don't have any idea of what's going on in that mind of his," Yukimura sighed.
"I shouldn't have come in the first place as well," Haruka said bitterly.
"We were the one who asked you to join us," Yukimura answered seriously.
"Then are you telling me that the feelings I'm feeling for him, the fact that I fell in love with him at first sight was actually because I was already in love with him in the past?"
"Yes and no, you have your feelings in the past. But at the same time the you for 20 years have been leaving in a world where you never met all of us, so your feelings for him right now, could also be a new one. 20 years, if within that time you had fallen in love with someone else then you wouldn't have fallen in love with him at first sight. Feelings change, always remember that."
"Then does he still love the Haruka from the past?"
Yukimura looked at her, he understand full well why she is asking this, the past her is not the same as the current her. She has no memory of who she was after all. And that is what scares her right now.
"Only Akihiro could answer all your questions," he could only reply this, he has no right to answer her questions about Akihiro's feelings.
"I'll walk around town for now," Haruka said before going out.
Yukimura didn't stop her, she needs to think for herself of what she had found out today.
*****
"You've reached the edge, Lady Kara," Haruka suddenly heard causing her to return to reality.
Her mind was completely in chaos that she just walked without seeing where she was going.
"Eureka," she said after seeing who spoke to her.
"You're wondering in the middle of the night on your own, with your mind somewhere else. Don't you think that's dangerous, Lady Kara?" Eureka replied.
She noticed Haruka as she was approaching her house. Upon coming out she saw how distracted Haruka was.
"I was thinking, and wanted to breath some fresh air. Theo was already asleep so I didn't want to wake him up. You live here alone?" Haruka answered.
"Kaoru was living here before, right he has to stay in the palace. So yes, I am here alone," Eureka replied respectfully.
"I see," Haruka looked around and noticed howthe place is completely on its own world.
"Aren't you lonely?" she then asked.
"I am used to this kind of environment. I prefer it as well."
"Hmmm, you always wear blindfold? Ever since we came here, I never saw you without it," she then commented.
"I am training, Lady. I should walk you back now. I don't think you just left since it is quite a long way from the head knight's house to here. You do know you are not entirely safe here yet," Eureka said as she started walking.
"I've heard," Haruka started as she followed Eureka.
Eureka faced her.
"I've heard about Haruka, and who she was in this place in the past."
"So you have finally decided to ask," Eureka commented as she continued walking.
"I don't know what I should feel," Haruka then said.
"Are you angry?"
"No."
"Are you sad?"
"A little."
"Are you happy?"
"I... don't know," she paused before finishing her sentence.
"Then tell me, are you going to stop?"
Haruka looked at her confused.
"Are you going to stop loving him because of what you found out? Are you going to distance yourself because you think that you can't compare to the past you especially since you have no idea why he had fallen in love with her?"
"I don't know," she once again answered.
"*sigh* Think about it, you must not force yourself to everything, Lady. No one can dictate to you what you should do, at the same time no one could dictate what the king should do. Both of you are old enough, and I think that the reason why he didn't want to face you yet is because we haven't found our enemy. You might suddenly be placed in danger when he tries to get close to you," Eureka replied afterwards.
Haruka stayed quiet until they reached Yukimura's house.
"I shall be taking my leave now then," Eureka said as she started walking away.
"Thank you, for walking me home."
Eureka faced her once again, "You are not weak, it may be the past you or the current you, you are not weak. You have all the right to stand beside him, fight beside him and be happy with him, don't degrade yourself of such happiness just because you kept thinking about the past. The past is our lesson, but the present is where we make use of those lessons. Someday you will surely have your memories back. And you will understand that you really haven't change at all," Eureka said one last time and this time really left.
"You are young, you are far younger, but do you also know who I am?" Haruka asked to her retreating back.
*****
The next day, just as they had predicted.
"It's been a while, king Akihiro," she bowed down gracefully and smiled sweetly at Akihiro.
"And, are you tasked to be the candidate right now, Manami?" Akihiro asked the lady in front of him.
Manami was Jin's daughter, she was 10 years younger than Akihiro.
"*smiles sweetly* I am not just a candidate, I am the only candidate," Manami replied.
"What makes your father think that I would marry you?" Akihiro replied.
"You can't do that now, I am the only one who is qualified to be the queen," Manami said.
Akihiro narrowed his eyes, <I need Dai to move faster.>
"So? When will be the wedding?"
Yukimura who was actually with Akihiro when Manami arrived, almost chocked at nothing.
"There will be no wedding, I am thinking deeply about who will be the queen so tell your father to stop contradicting himself," Akihiro once again replied.
"You have no one else, I am the only one who can marry you," Manami said as pain crossed her eyes.
"Go back home now, I have no time to deal with you right now. I am quite busy," Akihiro said turning back to his paper works.
"I will return, I'll show you that I am the only one qualified to marry you," Manami said as she turned and left.
"She was gone for what? 5 years? Then she suddenly returned with such strong desire to marry you, I'm amazed," Yukimura commented after Manami left.
"Dai," Akihiro said.
"Yes, your highness?" Dai came out.
"I need you to move faster, it seems that we are running out of time," Akihiro replied.
"I understand, your highness," Dai replied before disappearing once again.

"I forgot to mention, Haruka had asked about herself last night," Yukimura then dropped the topic like it was nothing.
*CRASH*
Akihiro was about to drink when Yukimura said this causing him to drop he cup.
"And what did you tell her?"
"The truth, that she is the queen."
"How did she react?"
"Of course, shocked. She was completely shocked, even went out for a walk late last night."
"You left her alone?"
"I followed her until I saw her walking towards the edge, where Eureka and Kaoru's house is."
"How sure are you that she would be fine in there."
"I'm not, I only know that that girl would obviously feel her, and just as I had thought she walked Haruka back home."
"How is she today then?"
"Fine, I guess? Still thinking things through. Well if she comes to you herself then that means she has made her decision."
"And that decision could be good or bad."
"You kept ignoring her, why not just man up and talk to her. Tell her everything yourself. She obviously still loves you."
"But.."
"But what? Do you no longer love her because of her memories?"
"Of course not, but I'm scared that I might end up comparing the current her to the past her, giving her more pain."
"Complicated, truly complicated," that's all Yukimura could say.
Akihiro then looked outside, falling into deep thought, <I will face you, but not until we finish the current matter at hand. I just hope you are still there when I look back. And I just hope I won't hurt you even more."
