He kissed each of her fingertips and she smiled softly. It's been a peaceful moment for the married couple. An unknown creature captured the queen and until now, they can't locate where it brought her. She gently cupped his cheek and he kissed her palm before feeling the warmth of her touch. It's already the fifth year and she can feel that the spell the prince casted on her is slowly wearing off. 

She saw Hokuto twice last time and her memories of them being together flashed in her mind. She is torn between Hokuto and Sho. She knows that her first love is Hokuto but now that she is seeing the other side of her husband, she feels like giving him another chance to prove himself that she can love him despite what happened between them. She can't tell him that she got back some of her memories. She can't tell him that the spell is wearing off. She can't tell him that she saw Hokuto. 

"Sho, let's have another child. I want it to be a little princess." She suddenly spoke and he looked at her. 

"Are you sure? You want us to have another child?" He asked and she nodded while smiling. She can clearly see how happy he is when she says that. Perhaps, she is wrong that he is pure evil. 

"Yuuki will be happy to have a little baby sister." He added and she chuckled softly. Excitement started to grow in her heart now that she is giving him a chance. 

"We will work it out, right?" She asked and he smiled widely. She wanted to cry when she saw that smile. 

It is one of the rarest and she is really happy that she saw it. Her heart wished for him to change but once again, she might be wrong that he doesn't need change but instead, a chance to have a happy family with her and Yuuki. She closed her eyes and let their lips touch. Before, all she can imagine is Hokuto but now, it is already Sho. Did she just have a change of heart? 

The man in front of her is Sho. The man whom she wants to have another child with is Sho. It is only him, only Sho. She let him own her body and she cried his name when they reached the climax. It is her first time to surrender her body to him without being forced and most of all, because of the thing they called love. Tears dwelled up and it fell from her eyes because of pleasure. Indeed, he is the best for her. 

He kissed her tears and handled her with utmost care as she is the most important to him. She moved on top of him and did the work this time. She kept on whispering how much she wants to have another child with him. He watched more tears fall from her eyes as she was getting more pleasure in every movement. Every second was so intimate.

"Otou-san." Yuuki called for his father and Sho winced in pain when he covered up his wound with the last patch he got. 

"Your mother is safe, that's what I know." He said as he stood up from the couch and wore his black clothes. 

"How did you know?" Yuuki asked and he gave him a smile, patting his shoulder lightly. The younger one stopped for a while before nodding his head. 

"Because Okaa-san and my baby sister are with Obaa-san, right?" He asked once more and Sho nodded. He can't just tell anything to him since he grew up in the hands of Reiki, so it is possible for him to take sides. 

At this point, he can't even trust his own son. He is wishing for Yuuki to know the truth soon. He is in the hands of pure evil and might as well lose his own life if he chooses the wrong side. He knows his son is smart. He inherited it from his parents after all. He might even be smarter than them but sometimes, a trickster will win even if you got the intelligence. 

"There will be time that you will understand everything, Yuuki. When that time comes, I hope you still love me and your mother." Sho left him inside the chamber alone and thinking deeply. 

On the other side, Fuyu was walking in the garden when Shohei approached her. He handed her rose-shaped candy that melts once you put it inside your mouth. She stared at it and when she finally remembered that moment, she smiled softly. He watched her take the plastic cover off and she giggled when she felt the candy melting inside her mouth. This made him smile as well. They took seats on the wooden bench and he looked down at his hands before speaking. 

"I thought you have forgotten about me already." Shohei started. She bit her lips lightly and she shook her head. 

"You made me remember that moment. I didn't expect that it was you." He looked at her and saw her caressing his protruding belly. 

"Can I have a chance from you?" She raised her brows and looked at him. He knows what she will answer but it is still better to ask, right? 

"Let me love you even though I know that you love him." Her eyes were wet and she felt a lump of saliva blocking inside her throat. 

"Shohei, I— I don't know. You're right. I love him. I love Sho and I'm giving birth to our youngest one soon. Why do you love me? I wish it was not me. I'm not worthy of your love." Tears fell from her eyes but she quickly wiped it. 

"I don't know either. I guess it is my choice to only love you and no one else more." He laughed softly and looked away to hide his own tears. 

"When everything finally ends, please look for someone who will be worthy of your love." She said and he is already thankful that he got the chance to hold her in his arms once.
