"Baby Series 2"

It Comes To Us

Relena was silent as they approached the gates. Milliardo had given her something to think on that shook the foundation of her plans. She intended to see him settled with Chang or Maxwell before she departed for the next round of her duties to the Colonies.

The doubt cast on his sexuality eclipsed the shining future she had envisioned as her apology to him for forcing him onto the throne. She had wanted to loosen the bonds of the ever tightening coils of responsibility encircling her. So many responsibilities weighed her down and she feared she must descend into screaming hysterics beneath the weight.

//I wanted to gain back something of my life. Selfish to do so at the expense of another but he was wasting away in Italy. He needed to be made to live again. Wu Fei does not agree. He thinks because Brother is King there can be no relationship between them but that does not have to be so. He simply has to want it and go for it and not take no for an answer.//

His long fingers were still massaging her aching feet. He had reminded her of Noin and how long it had been since her death. Not long at all and much had happened in the interim. How was he to mourn and settle her death in his mind with Parliament pushing him to remarry?

“I’m sorry.”

Long fingers paused and she realized she had spoken aloud. Glancing up Relena sighed at his frown and the question in brilliant blue eyes.

“I’m sorry. For helping push you. I know you did not consider yourself worthy of the role of King. A King for a pacifist nation should be a pacifist himself, yes? You are a pacifist. You always have been, Brother. Warriors can be pacifists too. You fought for peace and I have come to understand that if it is not worth fighting for then it is not worth striving for. Sometimes it takes a while to get things through this thick head of mine but the lessons of the last few years have stuck.”

“While Father respected soldiers he determined there was no place for them in this world.”

“He was wrong. He grew up in a world at war but he was separated from those conflicts. Beyond the politician’s table there is a very different reality. The bright, shining sun of the Sanc of Father’s time did not survive. The sun it was became eclipsed by the greed and fear of other men and Sanc fell into the shadow. It comes to us to give Sanc rebirth into the light. It will take a strong leader to accomplish the transformation. A leader who has the time, heart and dedication to lead Sanc to a better future than our father could foresee. I’m not that person, Milliardo. I have too many distractions. I concern myself too much with the ESUN. You are the King. You were born to lead Sanc.”
