The sun will rise soon.

The prince Takeru was still holding the door of the Queen.

It was an honor, his brother always said it. It was also a great excuse to nap during the day. How ever, the prince never did the full night, he take the begining and the end, just for the Queen to see him. Or he just let Takuya do the whole night, who cares? A lot of The Crown duty was to pretend things. He has to pretend that he likes to be the royal Knight, that he cares about the royal guards, that his thought were on the job, that he wasn’t scared by the dark words of his mother, that he did not pray for his brother to don’t sacrificed his life for one of the Kings, that his heart don’t break every time that he saw Hikary running away from him. All of this mess will do great poetry. How long ago he did not write?

HIkary wants to be a sister of Light. Pass the day praying, helping the needed and lecturing everybody about the sin. She had jumped off the balcony because she preferred to die to don’t be a sister of Light. There is something that he would die for?

The Prince was waiting for the sun to rise, and then, as a mystery, HIkary comes to see him.

Beautiful Hikary clothed with the Light habit and something that want to be a smile on her face.

“Takeru” The damsel said and the chest of the Prince grown at the calling.

“Sister” Takeru said as he did the bow that you had to do when you saw an enlightened sister alone.

And there were the tears of the girl, the trembling hands and the true smile.

“I hadn’t… I´m still not…”

“But you will be. You will be Hikary”

“Takeru…”

“Look at you, you are already doing miracles, coming to talk to me”

She laughs and he still enjoyed. He was charming and she was paralyzed by that. For a moment the Prince aloud himself to think that there were something else, something else that the youth and the easies to be together. Maybe it was something that could survive all that mess.

“That is not the only miracle that I made”

“What?”

The damsel get close to him, her eyes shine and her skin was almost glowing.

“The Queen is going to convert at The Light”

“WHAT?”

Takeru turn over himself and open the door of the Queen’s room. No one was there.

“She had a sudden revelation” Hikary said “She is in the temple, praying, she finally saw the light Takeru”

Takeru stand by the door incredulous.

“If only all could”

“Hikary, you know that I don't…”

“You follow the light at your way Takeru” The girl said prontly “I’m talking about the queen mother”

“Aunt Toshiko?”

“She didn’t take well the decision of The Queen, she kept herself on her room”

Takeru could imagine the tantrum of his aunt, he don’t want to imagine how it's going to be said it to his own mother.

“Could you please… Just make sure that she would attend the ceremony? It would mean the world for The Queen.”

“Ceremony? “

“The summon alchemist is taking care of everything. Tomorrow, at noon, it would be beautiful”

“I take care of it, don’t worry”

“Thank you” Hikary said with affection “And… I’m sorry, Takeru… for everything”

“Don’t, don’t apologize” He said while his only wish was to heard other apology.

She left and he stayed. He saw the sun rising from the big window in the Queen’s room. The empty room that he had pretended to guard so many nights.

The ceremony started when the sun was highest on the sky. The sisters of Light had covered the patio of the palace with white flowers, the army had invited at nobles and peasants to saw the ceremony. The warlocks and witches on the capitol had started to move to the periferia. The veto ended

“Ridiculous” Princes Ritsuko said since the balcony “This is a fraud, Gennai is twisting on his graveyard right now”

“Mother, please” Princess Takeru said “I sure that Sora… “ but he had nothing kind to add “yes, this is weird”

“Weird nothing my son. This is a down hit, even for the House of Love. I had to know that the apple didn’t fall to far of the tree. The Queen is a liar hungry for power, just as her mother”

“Mother!” The boy said, as if the princess didn’t know that he is the one who must arrested by saying those words.

“Don’t make a mistake, my son” his mother said as she get close to him “The fate of The Light is a trick to had control over the people, the alliance between the crown and them is for mutual necessity; I know a conspiracy when I see one and what we are seeing now is one of the worst kind. We can only hope the corpse that would bury today wouldn’t be ours.”.

The Prince remains silence at the last comment of his mother. It would be really the worst for the kingdom that he married Hikary Yagami? This is the move of Sora to remain on the throne? If everyone were betting for the death of the King how was his brother? He fixed his armor on place and walked to saw his aunt, if his mother was mad he don’t want to imagine the mood of the Queen mother.

HIkari finished to put the white flowers over the pink dress. The girl was smiling all the time.

“You look divine your majesty”

<This is prettiest that my wedding dress> The Queen thought. But quickly her mind goes to the last time she saw it, covered with the red blood of her mother. When she get back to reality, HIkary had been gone and the summon alchemist was on her room.

“This is a woman’s dressing room” The Queen said with annoyance, but the man just smile at her.

“I am trying to imagine your feelings, the grief could be hard. But believe me, this are good news for you”

“It wasn’t a murder” Sora said. Mostly because he was the only person that she can said it.

Compassion is something that Sora couldn’t think the summon alchemist could fake.

“Yes, I know. But the world had ways to kill the weaks and rewards the strongest, the smartest, the worthiest” and there it was, the real man behind the curtain “We had to take the chances that the life gifs to us. One day you are going to remember this day as the beginning, and the death of your mother as the end of the life that you hated.”

The Queen walked at the center of the courtyard. There were music and flowers. Her people were looking at her. She was tired and scary. She did the steps until the center, where Izzy Izumi was waiting with the Holy water on his right hand and a soldier of Light on each side. She knelt, the water fall over her head and the summon alchemist recited the old baptism lore. If god is going to talk to her this was the moment.

But what she felt was the sudden movement. A sword unsheathed on her right side. She evaded it for so little. Her brown eyes found the black’s of a foreign, dressed as a Light´s soldier. He listen the scandalous scream of the summon alchemist “heretics!”. She get her attacker for the wrist and stolen his sword, with a twist of her arm she asset a hit on his face. The other guard ran towards her, but he slashed his throat and nail the sword over the torso of the first man as he was still on the floor.

There were blood on the holy water.

“Your majesty!” The scream of Prince Takeru broke the silence “Someone had kill the Queen Mother!”

Sora felt her blood boil over the look of her cousin, who had seen her slaughtered two men. Just as the rest of the kingdom.

“Our enemies had send assassins to murder the royal family” the summon alchemist said with a loud voice as turning to the audience “But a miracle! A miracle had happen today! Our Queen had received the force of the true God of Light. No man can kill her now!”

The people cheer and acclaimed her when she rise the sword of his enemy. And slowly, the screams were forming words that resonated inside her. “Saint Queen!”

When the Queen came back at her room there was a golden armor waiting for her. A phoenix was graven on the breastplate, embroidered on the cotton of the skirt was the symbol of the The Light and on the hip, rested the sword of her father.

No guard kept her door anymore.

The next day the audiences begun, she sit on the throne of The King and the Sisters of Light actually cried from happiness. At first command she made Izzy Izumi kneel in front of her and swear be loyal as her royal adviser.

“Were they really assassins send for our enemies?” The Queen asked quietly when he stand next to her.

“Yes, of course” The royal adviser answered “not the most brilliant if I could tell, they didn’t notice that they walked on a trap”

The enemies are coming for her and she had never felt more ready.
