Smile This was another one of those moments in time when he felt nothing but pride fill him. Pride in being a big brother. Pride in being alive to watch as she stole the hearts and minds of her audience with her beauty and her grace, and with her vision of a better world to come. It was not easy being a Peacecraft but Relena managed it with superlative grace and dignity. She was the role model for the up and coming daughters of the old nobility and no few daughters of the rich and famous. She shone in this moment as she spoke of her regret in leaving her position and her high hopes for the future, and how she looked forward to working hand in hand with her former colleagues. He was proud of her and of her courage in stepping into a role she was only beginning to understand despite the hours of discussion they had shared. Pagan had given her mountains of reading material involving others who, throughout the history of Sanc had held the title and position of Peace Ambassador. It was not merely a title for the sake of being a title. It meant hard work, long hours and travel, but it would give her the freedom to work as she had dreamed after the disillusion of finding the realities of life as Vice Foreign Minister was tied to the policies and protocol of the government. It would also give her the chance to have a family life and, when the time came, permit her to take her family with her on suitable occasions. She deserved to be happy and it was pleasing to see her straighten from that subtle hunch she had effected for so long, that was more psychological than a physical burden. She was feeling freed of the weight of binding chains and for that alone it was a memorable moment in time. She had a dazzling smile when her eyes smiled along with her mouth. Her whole face smiled now as she effected a light curtsey to her audience who were standing and applauding to a man. No hint of nerves had been visible when she had been called to the podium and she had been rock steady as she delivered her speech. For a moment the young woman, not the politician, peeked out and smiled at the world. Heero offered his arm to her as she moved to the steps of the podium and with another of those blinding smiles, this one solely for Heero, she descended the steps and made her way to their box. Protocol said the King did not rise from his seat, even for a Princess, but as she came into their box he stood, reached to take her hand lightly and touched his lips to her cheek. "How does it feel to be free of those chains, Sister?" "Wonderful, Brother! Wonderful." ~ * ~ |
