"Let me just help her to give birth." The prince almost cried when he saw how the princess screamed because of pain. He is slowly breaking apart seeing his wife like this. 

The queen is currently in the king's chamber, unconscious and looks like she will not wake up any sooner. Fuyu's dainty white gown is now stained with blood. Sho lifted up the hem of her gown to look if their little princess would come out soon. He can give up anything but not his wife and little princess. Knowing how his own son betrayed him, there is a part in his heart that someday, Yuuki will understand everything happened to them. 

"I'll give you a few minutes to finish that or else, you will die." The king said with a cold facade. Sho cursed under his breath when heard that but he shoved away the fear arising in his chest. 

Fuyu cried softly as she felt their little princess slowly getting out from under her. She took deep breaths while beads of cold sweat were forming on her forehead. She let out a soft whine when Sho kissed her forehead to calm her down. The prince and the princess' personal servants rushed to them to help. With the amount of blood she is losing while giving birth, she doesn't know for how long she will last. Her grasp on his sleeve weakened until she let it go. 

"Fuyu, love, our little princess is finally here.." Sho got a white towel from his personal servant and he covered the little princess with it before carrying her in his arms. 

She smiled faintly and nodded her head. Her vision was getting blurry and she tried to reach for his hand. He quickly noticed that something is wrong with her, so he carefully placed the little princess besides her and held her hand tight even if it is stained with blood. She turned her head to the side to see their little princess but a teardrop fell from the corner of her eye before she completely closed it. 

"Fuyu? Love? Love, wake up. Please wake up." His voice cracked as he shed tears for her. They suddenly heard the king laughing. 

He stood up with his head down and he instructed the servants to bring Fuyu and the little princess to their chamber. Dark aura started to emit around the prince. He is already at his limit and he can't take any more pain and suffering from the hands of the king. He materialized his twin katanas and the king raised a brow about his bravery. His wife died in front of him, not just once but twice already. 

"I can see how much you want me dead. Let's settle this in the human world. I'll see you there." The king grinned widely and before Sho could even attack, he already vanished to thin air. 

He dropped his twin katanas and fell on his knees. The last ounce of demonic powers he got is slowly replenishing and he knows he will not last any longer. Will he be a fallen one now that he wants to fight for justice? He wished to finish this war and to spend more time with the most important person in his life. He chuckled softly, believing that this is his punishment for hurting Fuyu before. 

"I love you so much, Fuyu.." He whispered with a faint smile on his lips. He started to hear quick footsteps approaching him and when this person arrived, he immediately recognized that it is the real king. 

"My king.. I've done my part now.. Keep my wife and daughter safe.." He barely whispered those words. Anger rose in the real king's heart. 

"No, it's your responsibility to keep them safe. You'll not die. I will not let you die." The real Riku said and he took off Sho's upper clothes to see his wounds. 

Blood kept on gushing from his wounds on the back and a group of creatures that supported the prince since then arrived. They saw that Sho was already on the brink of death. Riku asked them to hold him tight as he will start to heal his wounds and lend some of his demonic powers he suppressed for years. They recognized that it is the real king because they know that the current one will never do that to anyone. 

"My prince! My prince! Good heavens, what happened to him?!" The prince's personal servant ran towards them to tell them something but he saw that Riku was currently healing Sho's wounded body. 

"You're the one who is always here with him. Why are you asking me?" Riku said and the servant can't help but to pout but nevertheless, he told them what just happened in the prince and princess' chamber. 

"The princess is alive again. We didn't know what happened but when we carried her and the little princess to the chamber, she was already dead. Now, she suddenly got up from the bed and she is acting weird. I can smell bloodlust from her." The servant explained. Sho grunted softly and gripped tightly on the creature besides him, feeling the pain slowly disappearing. 

"She is real mad. Let her. We need everything to end soon." Riku said and they all agreed this time on what he said. 

It took him some time to have Sho fully recovered. His personal servant got him new clothes and the princess went out of the chamber with twin katanas on her hands but instead of silver, they are gold ones. It has the same design as Sho's twin katanas. Her black eyes turned bright red when she saw her husband staring at her. She ran towards him and settled herself in his arms. 

"It's time to end this." He whispered and she nodded. She let her twin katanas down and cupped his cheeks while staring deep in his light green orbs. 

"I still owe you a lot of things. I need more time to show you how much I love you." She whispered back and he smiled softly as the married couple started glowing faintly.
