Decision

The queen ordered for restoration of the affected villages. She has aided and offered help to the needy. 

A week has passed, the heroes were called. The queen approached them, she, proposed to Aiomi to be her and the kingdom’s king. 

He was surprised, he asked the queen why. She said that he possesses the traits of a king: Courage, Love for his family and nation, knowledgeable, and most of all Trustworthy. 

Aiomi closed his fists, beside him was his brother, Hikaru. 

“I do not want to be king.” Aiomi said while controlling his anger. 

He pushed Hikaru instead, “Here is your king, he also has those traits.” 

Queen Destiny maintained her calmness and asked him, “Why do you not want to be king?” 

“It’s too much for me” he shortly replied. 

Further arguments were held, in the end they decided to make Hikaru as king. The royal coronation was held afterwards. At first, Hikaru experienced almost all hardships, yet later on he was helped by the advisers. He didn’t stopped to learn things.

Days after his coronation, Hikaru ordered the full restoration of the kingdom, people started to raise livestock. Fishponds were built and different crops were grown on the fields. The kingdom has expanded and flourished. 

Hikaru became a great king at the age of 22. Destiny was always there by his side. He lived with her as a sister, not as a wife. Hikaru’s brother, Aiomi visit them sometimes, he gives them offerings. Aiomi takes good care of their father who was at that time is near death. 

When Hikaru learned this, he immediately left the palace with the best physician to help his father be cured. Because of his problems he started to drink liquors. Every night he will go to his bedroom drunk.

One night , while drunk he went to Destiny’s room. She can see and smell he was drunk. She almost gag because of the awful smell of Hikaru.

He started kissing her and she too kissed him back. He caressed her gently, she let out soft moans while he make love with her. Hikaru woke up, he was covered by a blanket and Destiny was beside him. They are both naked. Destiny was sleeping in his chest as he noticed his hand wrapped around her. His head ached, and remembered what happened. Destiny wakes up and he started apologizing but it is no help. “It will be fine, your highness” she said while covering herself. Hikaru immediately dressed up and left her room. 

As months passed, Hikaru and Aiomi’s father gained strength and was almost cured. They gave him a dog named Hilda. 

Two months passed, the queen was found pregnant, the kingdom rejoiced except for the king.

Months later, Destiny who was 7 months pregnant, suddenly disappeared. 

Every citizen in the kingdom began to be gloomy. They searched everywhere, even the king’s search team has failed. 

Everyday felt like time went slow, life seems meaningless. Hikaru became gloomy.

He misses how Destiny smiled at him, how she treats him, how she greets her every sunrise and sun down, he misses everything about her. Now, he regrets that he took her for granted and he remembered that his wife was pregnant. Destiny is carrying their child.
