Bumi sat on the throne.
It had been boring ever since Haru had left for the Fire Nation.
Bumi had been tasked to stay here by Haru, the one who united Ba Sing Se and Omashu.
At any rate, Bumi didn't care about his throne at Omashu.
He was about to die anyway.
What's left for a 112-year-old man, who has no children and nothing?
All he'd left was the amusement that life provided.
Now that Haru left, he was bored to tears.
Back for the kingdoms. They were progressing well, building a road between Omashu and Ba Sing Se through the desert.
The nobles and the cities from across the kingdom started joining them, wanting protection from the Fire Nation.
"Come on. I'm waiting for the surprise." Bumi leaned backwards and snorted.
A man entered with a rush to the throne room.
Seeing the shock drawn on his servant's face, Bumi rubbed his hand. A smile appeared on his face. It had been a long time since some good news came.
"Tell me, what do you have? It's Haru, isn't it?"
"Yes, your majesty."
"Hehe…" Bumi smiled wider.
"The Earth King… he'd made a contact with the Fire Nation. They're pulling all of their soldiers out of the nation. They also sent a generous compensation for us. Moreover, they made an official apology and pulled their forces out of the north and the south poles."
These were good news.
As expected from Haru, which shouldn't be shocking.
"Huh? That's not enough to make you look stunned. You should be happy, right?"
"Yeah… But."
"But?"
"He married the Fire Lord." Replied the servant.
Bumi blinked twice. He thought for some time. This should be a bad dream, right?
The Fire Lord is a dude, how in the hell did Haru marry him?
He doubted that Ozai would even consider that idea…
Bumi pinched himself. The pain was real, and this was the reality.
"Hold on, explain…" the guy must have hit his head somewhere before coming to him.
"After Ozai's death on Azula's hand, she became the Fire Lord. Along with King Haru, they announced their marriage across the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom. The lackeys of the previous Fire Lord, surprisingly, didn't seem to mind that."
So that's it. Haru must have mind-played the staff of the palace, and the princess was basically a pregnancy tool. She would bring some children who will rule the throne…
Although it seemed that the balance was achieved, it wasn't.
Basically, the Earth Kingdom now was the strongest kingdom.
"That's surprising," Bumi replied, his hand reaching his forehead and rubbing it. "Where is he?"
"He sent you a letter."
Bumi retrieved the letter and opened it.
He read what Haru had written.
[Listen, by the time you read this, I'm on my way. I'm trying my best to avoid my home town, so I'm coming through the sky. I don't know how to face my parents, now that I have done the crazy princess, and even had a wonderful week with her— I regret nothing. Tonight I'm going to announce our alliance, prepare a festival]
Bumi laughed hard. Haru was avoiding his home town now that he married Azula.
In the name of the spirits.
Smirking, Bumi turned to his servants and said.
"Please, send our best rides to the King's home town, also near Omashu. He wants every woman he had contact with to come to the palace. He also wants his parents to come here too."
"As you order…" the servant bowed and went away. "By why? Isn't everything alright now? Wouldn't the king want to celebrate with his parents…"
"No." Bumi laughed. "He wants them here, so he can celebrate with them. Prepare for a celebration."
He would pull the ultimate prank on Haru.
Haru would never know how to face his family now.
That's what you get for sticking your dick in a crazy — even if she appeared to be fine.
-x-X-x-
Haru was above the palace of the Ba Sing Se. He'd arrived here so fast. After the increase in his agility and skills, his earth board allowed him to travel faster than ever. Plus, he could use the dust to hasten his speed.
Currently, he was back home after so many days. He didn't know how much, other than he'd spent a week boning Azula.
During the sex, he found a way to impregnate her.
He could feel the earth's particulars in her eggs, and his sperm, and he could give her a tipple on the first day.
Now, it was a matter of time before he would have an heir.
Currently, he stared down at the palace, and he was thinking of something.
"You're looking for an explanation for your parents… that you married the princess of the Fire Nation."
"Let's say, I was forced in the name of the peace." Haru sighed; "At least, I'll have enough time to think of an excuse."
"I always wondered," Kyoshi muttered. "Why the man seems to come back to his senses after banging the girl."
"Because it's nature." He replied. "Don't worry. We always come back."
The board descended on Ba Sing Se.
The citizens pointed their fingers at their king, welcoming him with cheers.
Smiling at them, he waved his hand as he landed on his feet and walked toward the palace.
He currently was the hero of the Earth Kingdom.
Even with the Avatar around, Haru would have all of the credit.
He made his way to the palace. The loud cheers of the people were enough to announce his arrival. He expected that Bumi would be there to welcome him.
Haru stopped his steps when he found someone crossing their arms — Suki, smiling at him with half-closed eyes, as if she knew what he'd done.
There was also a woman with a fat belly, whom he knew — Rune.
There was also Luna, who acted as if were nothing.
It would be easy to deal with these women.
What hard was — damn you Bumi -- His parents were here.
His mom and dad were looking at him. His mother tightened her gaze at him, and his father gave him a thumbs up. Tyro seemed to be happy that he fucked the Fire Nation. On the other hand, his mother — he could tell — was disappointed that he passed his genes to the wrong chick.
Haru arrived. A general was there, holding a cup of drink. Haru took it. He sniffed it, thinking if there was any poison. One can't be too careful. He then gave the cup back and said. "I'm done drinking." He then turned to his family. He only shrugged. "Hey, guys. Heard the news, we have peace here."
"Hehe… the news was delivered, your highness… hehehehe…" a trolling laugh echoed behind him. Haru almost flinched as he'd realised that Bumi pulled a prank on him.
"How was it going while I was away?"
"I was managing it very well. I was happy that I made a celebration, and I invited everyone. So, tell me Haru. How does it feel to fuck the Fire Nation after fucking them up." Answered Bumi.
"It feels very tactical," Haru answered. "How about we discuss everything privately." He smirked at Bumi, wanting to kick his ass.
"I bet you're very tired, so let's delay that. I'll leave you to talk with your family, inside." Bumi said, smugly. "And pardon me for not preparing a good wedding gift."
