The room was dark; the only source of light was the early dawn that filtered through the curtains and a small flickering candle that sat at a table covered with old parchments. Heero stood staring out the window in deep thought. He noted with some amusement that the weather seemed to match his mood perfectly. The clouds were dark and heavy with precipitation. His piercing blue eyes continue their scan this time of the ground below catching the movements of the merchants as the prepared themselves for another busy day.

”Has the information been contained?” he asked in a cold, almost monotone voice. Although that extra ice tone may have sent any normal person running at top speed in the opposite direction, the other two occupants of the room were unfazed. They knew their leaders' mood was due to him being, dare they think it - worried - oh no he would rather die than admit that he, the great general and soon to be crowned king, could ever be worried. No he was only preoccupied, which is why they were all together in Heero's small study attempting to come up with some sort of solution.

”Yes for now, news like this will spread quickly. “ said the figure who sat hunched over the parchment engrossed in his readings. His jet-black hair, which was pulled into an impossibly tight ponytail accented the slant of his eyes.

”You could always get married. I know of a certain blond who would jump at the chance.” said the ever-calm brunette leaning with a bent knee against the wall. The Asian man sniggered behind his parchments.
Heero scowled ”And have her royal pinkness here full time, NO” that last word was spoken more firmly.
”Well you should consider it. Although you were accepted as his son he never named you as heir. The council may protest.” said Trowa.
”Besides Relena may have played a part in the King's murder.” said Wufie
”I don't think she's capable.” argued Trowa
”I agree. She had nothing to gain, she's already my betrothed.” he shuttered on the last part.
”True” said the asian thoughtfully as he put down the parchment and picked up another. After a few more minutes of reading and silence he broke it again. “Anael may have been the one to send the assassin.” he said laying down the parchment and looking up into two confused faces.
”Why?” asked Trowa
”Because it's nearing the 7th of May.” he stated, as if that should explain everything.
”And?” Heero prompted growling.
”Well that's when King Odin's new bride is coming of age. She just happens to be the second in line for the crown in Anael. It's all stated here in the marriage contract. And in return for our not taking their kingdom, protection and support the two were married.” he explained handing the document to Heero “Only the copulation was required and that was to happen a few days from now.” He added blushing slightly.
Heero read the document quickly then hands it over to Trowa who also scans it.

”That pervert was hoping to have another child. That's why he never named me successor.”
”Maybe” said Wufie thoughtfully “but then again maybe if would have just been a happy bonus for him.”
”Well in any case this defiantly solves your Relena problem considering your already married.” smirked Trowa, he was somewhat enjoying pushing his friend's limits. “Then when you go to pick up your new bride you'll know if the murder was planned by them or not on how they react.”
”And if they are not responsible?” questioned Heero a plan already forming in his head. “Well then one suspect would have been ruled out. Besides you can't officially rule until you're married until then the council is in charge.” said Wufie.
”Not for very much longer. I can't stand those old fools especially that Dermail” said Heero turning to face the two and place his hands on the table. “Wufie send word to Anael, that the King is sending some men to retrieve his new bride. I'll leave you in charge while I'm gone. Also tell the council to meet me here in an hour I wish to inform them of my trip. Trowa you will accompany me and I wish to travel as light as possible. We leave tomorrow as dawn.”
”That doesn't give them much time to prepare.” said Wufie, he knew that by the time the messenger would arrive they would arrive less then a day later.
”Good” was Heero's only response and the other two took this as their cue to leave to complete their assigned tasks.

Heero left alone in the study sat at his desk to collect his thoughts and wait for the council members to arrive. His mind kept straying to his new wife, would actually be able to bed her? Twenty-two years old and he still had not found one that he found even mildly attractive. What was this Duo Maxwell like? What kind of name is Duo anyway?
