Distant Cousins? "I'd like to find the portrait and investigate what else is up there. Given that the Federation General appeared to have selectively sticky fingers there could be some other precious memories for the family. Relena does not know much of the past history of our family. I would like to…" Wu Fei and Duo exchanged a glance as the King fell silent. After a moment Milliardo sipped his chocolate and shrugged, dismissing whatever thoughts he had been entertaining. "There would be more than sufficient items of antiquity in the attics to begin a museum," Wu Fei offered. The untidy ponytail swished from side to side after a moment and broad shoulders shrugged. "Perhaps there is, but there is neither the time nor the finances. Undoubtedly later there will be sufficient time and money to set up a museum. The survivors, especially the younger ones and those born away from Sanc during the occupation, know little if anything of the long history they could lay claim to." "Something to put on the `to do' list, eh?" Duo murmured. "Yeah, loads to do, but we should not ignore the past, particularly since a lot of it would have to be your family past. If you can trace your family history all the way back to the Vikings, the Peacecrafts have been around for a hell of a long time." "Under various names, yes, I suppose we have. I would like to set up a museum, but there are important projects requiring immediate attention. My family would not have a longer history than Wu Fei's." Milliardo grinned. "Who knows, the foreign princess might have been a member of a clan related to your own and we could in fact be distant cousins." "It would be interesting to look in to," Duo murmured. "There would be little chance. Much was lost to the fire and one of the problems setting up a museum would be in proving the age and history of items in the attics. How do we prove their providence? How would we prove a link?" Duo's blue eyes glinted with a purple tint and met Chang's ebony orbs. Milliardo did not notice and Duo grinned. "By the way, could you maybe satisfy my curiosity?" "About what?" "Your name. Milliardo. Sounds Italian and you sure as heck don't come from Italy. Don't believe your mother did either?" To their surprise Milliardo shifted, uncomfortable on his seat, and hung his head. "Zechs? Something wrong?" "It's a mistake." "Excuse me?" "There was an error on my birth certificate. I was supposed to be called Milliard but my father's aide at the time was Japanese and his accent… well, the brightest bunny at the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages was absent that day. She spelt it the way it sounded when the aide spoke to her, officially registering my birth." Duo snickered, looking like he would burst. "Milliardo was a spelling mistake?" "My father thought it was hilarious." ~ * ~ |
