She’s That Knight Known As Zero - Chapter 270
Finally four years have passed since the end of war.
Hesperian Kingdom that sustained the most damage have finally got back on its feet and is running quite smoothly, the kingdom’s name was also changed to Twilight. This is their way of finally leaving all the bad past behind.
For Kaoru and Akira?
They are finally doing fine, it took him about a year before she finally forgave him. Difficult? Of course he would say that it was the most difficult thing that he had done. No need to elaborate just imagine how the ladies of this whole land being strong minded, you can tell that she had truly made it difficult for him.
Another two years and Akira finally gave birth to a healthy baby boy. He has Kaoru’s features, white golden hair with clear golden eyes. This was actually the characteristics of a seal ability user. If the abilities weren’t gone yet, surely he would have had it.
Archic Kingdom, still remained the snowy kingdom, somehow despite Confederate being in the southern part, it only has snow for one fourth of the year. Archic was the only place where only one sixth of the year was the time it was not snowing.
Theo have already taken up the throne at the age of 27. Two years prior the current time.
Theo and Suzuki?
They got married a year after Nana’s wedding. Raven, Mamoru, Hideyoshi, Feena and Azusa were the only ones who could attend. Nana was already at the later period of her pregnancy.
Currently they just welcomed their second baby. The first being a princess and now it was a prince. What they got was the strong features of Archic Royals, white hair and silver eyes.
Maybe because their land have had the ice ability user all this time causing such change in their characteristics. Even Theo had this same color so no one was able to know if an Ice ability user was actually born. The reason why Haruka’s father was able to hide her.
Though most of the time, the Ice ability user would have white eyes instead of silver, just that not anyone can see this difference.
Confederate Kingdom only has a princess right now. She got her mother’s red orange hair but got her father’s brown eyes. She just celebrated her second birthday, it was a bit peculiar but she was just two years younger than her aunt.
Natsuki have already taken up the throne as well, he who was of the same age as Rino and Nana, became the king at the age of 30. His uncle even heaved a sigh of relief after handing him the throne.
“Being a king is truly tiring,” he even complained before he left Confederate Kingdom to have a good time in Aurora Kingdom. In reality even Shigure and Sana left Archic for Aurora. There he also found new love and Suzuki and Natsuki had no qualms about her.
She was a normal lady who never got married and is already 40 years old. Younger than the other ladies but still they welcomed her with warmth. She was a volunteer in the hospital when Ichiro met her after getting a sprain.
As for Aurora Kingdom, all the lands have finally returned to its past uses, they were able to fertilize the soil where the houses were built back when they took the other two kingdoms as refugee.
Rino and Karen just got married six months ago and Rino took the throne after their marriage. Karen was also just found to be pregnant and she was doing splendid as the new queen.
All the new kings and queens were well loved by their people.
Mamoru became the next head knight while Hideyoshi became a minister who are also known to be the king’s right hand man. He was still a knight but most of the time he was in the castle helping out Rino with the doc.u.ments.
Mamoru and Azusa got married after returning from Confederate, it was already planned just that Nana and Natsuki went first. They had just welcomed their second child as well. They have two sons, two years apart. One was two and a half while the other was just a few months old.
The older one has black hair with light brown eyes, while the younger have black hair with dark brown eyes.
Leo has long been together with Layla, together with the other parents and the previous kings and queens, these old people have decided to make a place for themselves and started living at the newly renovated house of Kaoru in the past.
This building was like another castle, it was like an apartment where the inside was divided into eight parts.
Hideyoshi finally asked Feena’s hand a year ago, upon returning in one of his missions he was staring at her hands.
“Don’t you think that your hands are a bit plain compared to the others?” he asked.
Feena was in rage at first but when Hideyoshi put a ring in her finger she was completely rendered speechless.
“There, now it is not plain. Shall we place a matching ring in a few months?” he then added implying for the two of them to get married.
And currently they are preparing for it.
Raven was still the same, in his own. Doing things on his own and was also helping out regarding the matter about the rebels. Ladies still try to vie for his attention but everyone still fails to do so.
As for the titles of the parents, it shall be given to other deserving people since their children had different titles in them. Or it could be inherited by their grand children when they finally were laid to rest.
As for the memories, the others finally realized it on the third year. They were shock and hurt but just like how Raven and the other’s moved forward, they too did. Currently all of them are nervous as they welcomed the new year. This is the last and those closest to her are the only ones who can still remember her.
The past generals such as Jin, Daiki, Kunihiko have already forgotten about her. The ones who still do are the families of the twelve of them together with Akito and Akira.
They even got worried about Raven when he remained by the cliff, where he and Eureka had that fall and shared their first kiss, for a week. They didn’t know what he did and a week have passed since then.
Everyone was finally living as if the great war have never happened, they still admire the pillars but they were baffled. They just knew that there are twelve pillars but no one could tell who the twelfth was.
Despite that, not one tried to make the people remember her. They could only pray that she were to return before this year ends.
“Hikari, don’t run too far!!” Haruka called out.
Somehow these parents became just like their group, their favorite place was by the lake. And today was a warm day to have a picnic which they love having.
Hikari who was about to celebrate her fourth birthday was happily running around the grass. She was just like her sister, a smart kid which differs her from the kids her age.
As all of them are happily chatting around they didn’t notice the time as it passes. They were only reminded when the whole place started getting colder indicating that dusk was about to come.
“Really when you are enjoying yourself, time just passes by in a blur,” they couldn’t help but to comment.
“Hikari it’s time to go back now,” Haruka called out. That’s when they realized that she was not around at all.
“HIKARI!!” Haruka and Akihiro started calling out but there was still no reply.
That’s when they decided to look for her, the lake was after all still close to a forest. If she entered surely she would get lost. As pairs they entered the forest and started calling out for her.
Akihiro and Haruka heard Hikari’s giggles as they get nearer to the center of the forest. They moved fast to get to her, after arriving to the center, they were welcomed by Hikari giggling happily as she was being carried in the arms of a very beautiful lady.
She was wearing a plain white long sleeved dress, her white hair was a wavy one flowing down until the ground, the length must have been longer than her height. Her gem like eyes was so calm without any ripples as she smile down at Hikari.
Haruka covered her mouth as tears run down her eyes, Akihiro too stood still as he look at the two of them.
The lady seemed to have noticed them as she look their way and smiled, she then look down at Hikari, “They must be your parents, you look like them. You should return now, this place looks like it was dangerous.”
She walked towards Akihiro and Haruka, her hair looks like it was flowing as she walks, she then handed Hikari over to Akihiro. She looked at Haruka before wiping her tears, the way she moved was so gentle, “Please don’t cry, your daughter is safe now.”
Her smile was so gentle together with her words, Haruka cried even more.
~”She must have chosen the second option. For her to forget all about us.”~
Was Raven’s words when everyone finally found out about the memories.
