Cat Got Your Tongue? “How would you suggest I perform this feat?” “You father a child.” He stared blankly as Duo attended to the shrieking kettle and then dropped his face into his hands. Sometimes Duo and his strangely distorted way of looking at life was just too much for him to deal with. “Much as it is far from my actual desire, I recognize the obligations binding me. I will marry and father an heir.” Duo spun, braid flying and waggled a finger. “No, you won’t. How many of the clan are cousins? Inbreeding is bad.” “It is an obligation that must be met. There are other clans who would not be adverse to becoming a part of the Dragon clan. We are, all of us, related to some degree, and there are the descendents of those who remained in China. I will be expected to find a suitable woman.” “Nope. Not going to happen. Not if things go the way I plan.” “Maxwell, you make no sense! You repeatedly say you do not plan…” “I can’t help it if you are so slow you haven’t realized the punch line. Your choice of bloodlines is dangerously limited if you want a strong heir, especially if you want one who will be a blood tie to this land.” Wu Fei grated his teeth in frustration. “I don’t understand.” “You need an heir for the future, yes?” “Yes.” “You will be settling the clan in New Port City, right?” “Yes.” “So to sum up you need an heir and to get the survivors to think of Sanc as home, right?” “Yes.” “So talk to Zechs.” “What?” “There are two people in Sanc with the bloodlines to be a match for your own and Relena… well Heero will gut anyone who trespasses there. That leaves Zechs.” “I fail to understand the significance.” “Tie the clan to the royal family. The wonders of modern technology, Chang. You and Zechs have an heir, between you and your clan gains blood ties to Sanc.” It was not often Wu Fei Chang was struck dumb. Duo gave him a moment before reaching out to close his lower jaw gently. “Cat got your tongue?” “You have no sense of reality, do you?” “Of course I do.” “They would never accept such a child. It would be considered a foreigner, not a part of the clan. A distant cousin from China would be the only option.” “A distant cousin?” “Yes.” Duo’s Cheshire grin widened to manic proportions. “Zechs still fits the bill.” “What?” “I found a portrait in one of the back rooms where they store stuff that survived the invasion. She never actually made it to Queen but she was a member of the Long Clan, a minor princess I think. She was part of a peace treaty; or was it trade? Anyway, she died giving birth to her first child, a son, who went on to become King. Our Zechsy is a direct descendent. Hey presto! Heart’s desire.” End
