5 years later

"Your Majesty, Princess Dhaya has come to see you" Shin stated

"Let her in" Kaname stated

Dhaya entered inside as she said "Father, it's already sleeping time"

Kaname gave her a nod then he said "The point of this report is that the construction of the fort in the Chemo village is successful"

"That is correct Your Majesty" an official replied

"Then Shin, go check the process on it and inform it to me tomorrow" Kaname stated

Shin bowed his head as he said "Yes Your Majesty"

"Let's go Dhaya" Kaname stated as he walked towards his daughter

In the king's room, a little princess was snuggled in the arms of his father while he kept stroking her hair

"Tomorrow is mother's birthday, what gift should I give her this time?" Dhaya uttered

Kaname gazed at her as he said "She will be happy with anything as long as it is full with love because she"

Before Kaname could finish his sentence, the little princess had already beaten her to it

"She always smiled cheerfully when you give her anything" Dhaya stated

Kaname stroked the little girl's head gently as he said "It's time for you to sleep already, what story should I tell you this time?"

"I want the time you gave mother this bracelet" Dhaya stated

The little princess waved her hand to show the shining bracelet dangling on her hand which her mother treasured the most

"That's the 30th time already" Kaname stated

"I can never get tired of mother's story, it always makes me happy every night when father tells me all about her" Dhaya stated

Kaname gently smiled as he said "And I never get tired of telling you about it"

"Father, on my fifth birthday you told me the story of how mother died because I was pestering you about it" Dhaya stated

"I'm sorry about that, I was just curious why mother left us that I didn't realize I was the reason for it" she uttered in grief

"Are you still blaming yourself about that again?" Kaname asked

Dhaya shook her head as she said "I realized I would have also done the same thing to mother if only I was big enough to protect her, the one I blame is the person behind it"

"If your mother was here, she would have scold me for talking to you about this kind of things at such a young age" Kaname stated

"Will mother be disappointed that I only inherited her looks but not her personality?" Dhaya curiously asked

Kaname shook his head as he said "She told me she wanted you to be the same as me, strong and smart she says"

Kaname gently smiled as he said "Even though I told her I want our child to be just like her, she always retorted by saying it would make her happy if you were as strong-willed as me"

"I can't wait to visit mother again tomorrow" Dhaya happily stated

"Then I shall now start the story of how the queen got her treasured and precious bracelet" Kaname stated

In the next morning, Kaname and Dhaya went into the tomb of Queen Yura

"Your Majesty" Rikka uttered as she bowed her head

"It's good to see you here, have you just arrived?" Kaname stated

"We have arrived here early in the morning, father is sick so he can't come and we came here to gather some ingredients needed for his medicine" Rikka stated

"Why don't you let Shin helped you with it while you're still at it, he is good at finding things" Kaname stated

"Thank you Your Majesty, it's an honor to have your help" Rikka replied

"I should go to her now, Dhaya why don't you talk with your aunt and uncle first while I'll have some alone time with your mother" Kaname stated

Dhaya obediently nodded her head then Kaname walked towards the tomb leaving the three of them behind

"Oh! isn't that my little baby Dhaya, come to uncle my princess" Koharu uttered as he made a cute gesture signalling the little princess to come over

Dhaya bowed her head as she calmly said "It's nice to meet you uncle"

Koharu sighed as he said "Jeez you're just like your father, when my little sister was at your age she would run up to me with her arms spread to the air and hugged me tightly"

Unconsciously, tears started falling out on Koharu's face as he recalled the moments he had with Yura

"She would always cry when I leave and smiled brightly when I arrived, she would always act spoilt when I carry her on my arms, seeing you reminds me of her, you look just like her, I miss her so much" Koharu uttered as he wiped his tears

"Forgive me if I'm not like my mother, uncle" Dhaya stated

"I'm sorry for saying this things, I did not mean it that way" Koharu stated

Rikka stooped down and gently stroke the little girl's head as she said "You don't have to apologize for not acting like your mother because she would have want you this way"

Koharu nodded his head as he said "She would have want you to be just like your father who can help him with anything rather than being spoiled"

"Someone who can understand him better just like your mother does" Rikka uttered with a smile

"She would have also wanted you to be someone your father can rely on" Koharu stated

"And those traits are from your father that your mother loves the most" Rikka stated

"Don't worry aunt and uncle because I will take care of father and support him at my very best and in my own way" Dhaya stated

Koharu caressed the girl's head gently then he noticed the flower crown the little girl was holding

"Now that's our little princess, is this perhaps your gift to your mother?" Koharu stated

Dhaya nodded her head as she said "I made this myself, a crown full of daisies"

"It's beautiful" Rikka uttered with a smile

"I hope mother likes it" Dhaya stated

"She will love it" Koharu replied

"Then I will be going to her now" Dhaya stated

Rikka nodded her head as she said "Take care"

Dhaya nodded her head and immediately walked towards her mother and father

"With her behind, His Majesty had now regained the happiness he once had" Rikka stated

"The cold and cruel expression of him the moment Yura died was still remained intact on my mind, all of the assassins involved with it that day was all tortured, he would not even let them die peacefully" Koharu stated

"Father had persuaded him a lot of time using Yura to calm him down and was able to stopped it in time thus no one was killed, avoiding the possibility of the king murdering many people that day" Rikka stated

"They did not die but they were severely tortured and was locked up for eternity, their punishment was even worst than death" Koharu state

"After sister's death, he has been over-indulging with his royal duties to the point that even some of the officials fainted because of the overloaded task given to them and yet all they can do was stay quiet and obey" Rikka stated

"Who in the world can complain to him when just one look at him and you'll feel like being beheaded already, even father was scared and was very careful of his words back then" Koharu uttered with a sigh

"He overworked himself to the point that he did not even made time to see his own daughter but with the persistence of me, you, Mizuha and Shin persuading him to see his daughter, slowly he was getting better and started accepting it" Rikka uttered with a smile

"After all, Dhaya looks a lot like Yura" Koharu stated

"Overworking himself, do you think he does that to get his mind off of Yura's death?" Rikka asked

Koharu shook his head as he said "No, he does that while thinking of Yura"

"What does that mean?" she asked

"Shin told me it was one of Yura's last words, to become everyone's great king" Koharu stated

"The person behind it, do you think His Majesty already knew who it was?" Rikka curiously asked

Koharu sighed as he said "I don't know but if he did, he must have been slowly but constantly punishing that person by now"

"Yeah I thought so, His Majesty can now smile while reminiscing his memories of Yura with his daughter by his side" Rikka stated

"Do you think he will have another queen or a concubine that he will love?" Koharu asked

Rikka shook her head as she said "His Majesty told me that in his reign there will only be one queen to him and to his people until the day he die, isn't he romantic?"

"Are you planning on getting a husband now?" Koharu teased

"Yeah, I'll surely find one" Rikka stated in confidence

"We should go now, after all little sister already had what she needed for her birthday" Koharu uttered with a smile

Meanwhile, Dhaya kneeled down beside her father on her mother's tomb

"Mother, I have been a very good child, the teacher said I'm an excellent student in politics, literature, martial arts, probably all the subjects" Dhaya stated

"Your teacher told me you spent more time wielding on swords than reading on books" Kaname uttered

"That's not true, even though I like swords more than books but I always balanced my time father and haven't you already seen that I always got perfect scores on my tests, don't talk bad about me in front of mother" Dhaya stated

The little princess pouted her lips and the king laughed at her confidence

Kaname gently smiled as he said "Our little princess is so adorable when she speaks with confidence"

The king then lifted up the princess and made her sat on his lap

"Oh that's right!, mother I already know the ingredients of your favorite dishes, father told me he will teach me how to cook your favorites after I turned 10" Dhaya stated

"So that will be 5 years from now, right father?" she asked

"Of course but my cooking will always be your mother's favorite?" Kaname uttered with a smile

"That's unfair, I'm sure mother will love mine too" Dhaya stated

"Of course she will love yours but my cooking will always be your mother's number one" Kaname stated

"Father, you're mean" Dhaya uttered as she once again pouted her lips and the king snuggled her tightly in his arms

"Father that's too tight, I can't breathe" Dhaya complained

"That's your punishment for talking bad about me in front of your mother" Kaname stated

Their entire day was spend with full of laughter and tears as they talk and tell stories at each other with the one they loved

Queen Yura Izumi Aikawa might be dead but in the hearts of those who cherish her, she always remained alive
