Hearing the genuine apologies that his Aunt gave him, Ryo felt a bit guilty, he knew he did nothing wrong, but it was never a good feeling seeing one of your family members apologize to you, so he guided her back to her chair and said
Ryo [it's okay Aunt Sona, I'm happy that we settled this, I will never hold a grudge against you, so please don't worry, and relax!]
Hearing Ryo's words Sona nodded her head and stayed silent, sensing the awkwardness of the situation, Ryo gestured to her daughter Lina to help her as he got up and left the room with his fiance's, he knew she must want some alone time, so he opted to give it to her
…
Whilst walking to his room Lita grabbed his arm and said
Lita [Good job Ryo]
Artoria [I don't know that you had these kind of issues]
Ryo smiled and said
Ryo [Don't worry there is no King without family Issues, at least they aren't as big as yours Fuahahaha]
Aria punched Ryo in the back and said
Aria [Don't make fun of other's problems!]
Ryo [I was just joking *sigh* whatever, let's go back to our room]
…
Sona sat down in silent as her daughter sat close to her hugging her mother, she was happy that her mother had apologized to Ryo and realized the wrongs of her ways
Lina [Are you okay, Mother]
Hearing her daughter's words, Sona wiped the tears from her eyes and said
Sona [I'm sorry to you as well, I never considered your feelings towards him, I should have put more thought into it, I'm sorry Lina]
Lina hugged her mother and said
Lina [Don't worry about it mother, I understand, your old life effected how you think so it's fine, as long as you promise me to give Ryo a chance, Ok ?]
Sona [Yes I will, I will speak to him later when I take some time to think, go have fun with him, you don't have to stay here with me, dear]
Lina [Alright, goodbye Mother]
…
While sitting on his Throne in Vimana Ryo looked at the projection in front of him and said
Ryo [You expect me to do nothing ?]
Lord El Melloi [Not quit, just send them an emissary, tell them that you want their complete surrender, if they feel like they have a chance, then go ahead and declare war, Eden might not be a territory of Babylon, but they are still our Allies]
Ryo [What's the point though? Clearly they'll refuse, So what do we gain from it? Unless you want to… Ahh, I see, you're quit the genius Waver]
Lord El Melloi [I'm glad that you figured it out my King, if we ask the Kingdom of Divola to surrender Publicly, then their people will know, and so when their King refuses, we will be able to declare war on them, once we do so, the king will have to use his own people as his army goes into forced recruitment due to the loss he incurred from us ,and once their own people die in the war and lose, the people will blame their own King for the loss, so if we treat them well, we will easily win them over, which means less revolution and more productivity]
Ryo [Conquer the heart of the people, I don't like the idea of using civilians, but I'm not Naïve, sacrifices must be made, Then on my order I allow it, go ahead and send an emissary to Divola, make sure to send someone that you can easily save if they decided to go wild and kill it]
El Melloi [Understood My King, I shall commence the operation immediately]
Closing the projection Ryo sighed as he looked at Enkidu who was at his side, Enkidu than smiled back as a lion cub jumped on her head
Ryo [So would you like to tell me why did you bring them with you?]
Enkidu smiled as she looked at the four golden lion cubs she brought with her back to Vimana
Enkidu [Their mother died and I wanted to care for them]
Ryo [Aren't Golden Lions said to be capable of raising themselves, there was no need for you to care for them?]
Enkidu [Well I mean…I know that but… they like you]
Ryo [Me ?]
Enkidu [They say that you smell like their mother, and they want to be your friends]
Ryo [Fuhahaha, I see, well, not sure how to care for them but I'll do so, if you are willing to share that burden with me, Enkidu]
Enkidu [Of course! Here let's name them, how about you name the oldest, *whispering* their twins but he likes to say his the oldest]
Holding the lion in his hand Ryo petted its head and said
Ryo [looking at my naming history, I'm kinda known to not have a good one but…hmm, How about Arslan?]
Hearing its new name Arslan started to jump in happiness
Enkidu looked at Ryo and smiled and held another on in her arms and said
Enkidu [OK good name, I'll name this little girl here, how about Roxy? that's a good name for a cutey like you!]
Roxy smiled and said in a voice that only Enkidu can hear "YAY thank you Mommy" Enkidu blushed after hearing the Lioness call her mommy, and Ryo didn't fail to notice that
Ryo [What did it say?]
Enkidu [*blushes* she called me Mommy]
Ryo [I see, well you are like a mother to them, Fuahaha, Let's see, you next one, I shall call you hmm, looking at you fur, how about Thunder? it seems fitting, you look like a fast Lion Fuahahah]
Enkidu [*smiles* as for the last one than I Shall call her… Nora]
Both Thunder and Nora jumped while saying in words that only Enkidu can hear "YAY, Thank you Mommy and Daddy, I love you!"
Ryo [FUAHAHAHA I see why you were blushing, they called you mommy! and they called me Daddy!]
Enkidu [*blushes Hard* How did you know ?!!]
Ryo [I used your power Fuahaha, Looks like we are parents Fuahahaha]
Enkidu [Don't laugh, Take this seriously!]
Seeing the serious expression on the always happy Enkidu Ryo couldn't help but pat her hair and ruffle it a bit
Enkidu [*pout*moo Gil, you're not taking this seriously at all]
Ryo [Alright, Alright, my bad, come on, lets go play with our Kids, lion mommy]
Enkidu [Stop teasing me !!!!]
