"Morning, Ryo." Lucrecia said before kissing him. "It's getting close to our wedding day. I can't wait to have our kingdoms combine."
ooc: sure. bic: Lucrecia sat outside in the garden, admiring the view.
Lucrecia held onto him as she fell asleep.
"You don't want me sleeping with you tonight? I think I'll have an easier time sleeping in here with you rather than trying to sleep in a guest room tonight."
Lucrecia looked at Ryo and smiled. She then laid down on his bed.
"That sounds good. Thank you."
"I guess that would be me. But when Ryo and I get married, the kingdoms would combine, right?"
"What is it?" Lucrecia asked.
Lucrecia hugged him back and cried on his shoulder.
"He planned to have me kill you to take over the kingdom, then he was going to kill me to end up with control of both kingdoms. I couldn't bear to try and harm you because I love you, Ryo. I knew if I didn't kill you, he would send others to kill both of us, so I killed him to keep both of us safe."
Lily left the two alone. "It's a long story, Ryo. The short version is that I killed my father to save both of us."
"Lucrecia's here to see you. From the look on her face, it's pretty urgent."
"I really need to speak to Ryo. Can you get him?" "Sure, just give me a moment." Lily said before going to Ryo's room.
"She'll be fine. Your mother just has a lot on her mind right now." Lily found Lucrecia in the main hall and helped dry her off. "What are you doing here? Does your father know you're here?" Lucrecia looked up at Lily fearfully.
Marcus followed her inside. Lucrecia found her way into the castle and sat in the main lobby, shivering from being wet.
"We better get inside. No point in you catching a cold."
"It was probably for the best. I sensed the foul intentions in that man's heart. He wanted control of both kingdoms and knew if Lucrecia had killed Ryo, she would have control over this kingdom. He would have then killed her to have both kingdoms."
"So I take it you sensed that death as well?"
"I was overjoyed when you came back. When I heard you died, Cloud and I were heartbroken."
Marcus stepped outside and sat next to Miko. "What's wrong, Miko?"
