Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Fertility Rites: The Great Marriage ❯ Travels and flashbacks ( Chapter 3 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or the movie, Mists of Avalon or even Merlin. But the mixed plot is mine.

AN: Italics are flashbacks, most of which are Relena's. Bold italics are other's pov. Those with ** are thoughts and those with // are flashbacks during the "italics flashbacks", ok?

I am riding Lightning, along with two soldiers, to Camelot, the HighKing's kingdom. I was invited as Avalon's priestess and for that I am greatly amused. King Quinze, my godfather, knew that Sanq's king is also my brother. *Maybe he did it for Avalon, since the bishop is also invited.* As that thought entered my mind, I remembered what happened a week ago... the reason for my late coming to Camelot. I suppose Lucy and Millie are already there and worried for me.

// I stood straight as I watched the elegant ceremony of my brother's coronation. I sighed as I remembered how he had reprimanded me because of my actions these past few days. Thankfully Lucy, as I had taken to call her, had stood in my defense. She also reminded my brother of my true age, seeing as he thought me still a child. I smiled as the bishop told everyone of another joyous occasion to be celebrated today, my brother's marriage to Camhilton's princess. Just as he was proclaiming them husband and wife, I felt a sharp pain tug down at me. I ran from where I stood to the side, hoping that I'll be able to escape without Milliardo following. But before I passed the stone door.... I fell into the abyss of darkness. Something I couldn't escape....

"Relena.... RELENA!!!" I distantly heard, I wished so much to open my heavy eyelids and comfort my distressed brother but to no avail. //

I was pulled from my musings when I heard battle cries surround us. I looked around me and saw rebels and thieves all over the place. My supposed guards have already left me to fend for myself... *Such cowards.* I thought to myself.

~*~*~*~Lucrezia's pov~*~*~*~

I am now a queen, Milliardo's queen. And I know for that single reason that I shouldn't fret... but thinking about Relena brings me anxiety... and for some reason, jealousy.

// I saw Relena stagger to the doors, distress on her features. I hoped that it was merely my imagination but my hope darkened to despair as I saw her fall down unconscious.

"Relena....RELENA!!!" Milliardo cried out, I couldn't help but feel his anguish as I called out for help from the women. I watched as he carried her to her room... and I watched as he spilled tears in worry for her. His love for her, I realized was more than one would have imagined. From my perception, I knew that not even Sanq could kill his care for her. Some part of me couldn't help but feel jealousy.... but I knew folly, even if it was from me so I stopped. She was my sister, not competition. And I shouldn't hate her for her brother's love. //

I knew that it was wrong of me to be selfish.... but seeing how close they were even though they've been apart for years brings a void in my heart... and I wished that sometime soon I'd also have his love.... the love I've dreamed for so long ago.

~*~*~*~Milliardo's pov~*~*~*~

// I looked over at my queen as she called for help. I knew in some deep part of me that she understood how much I love Relena. *Relena...* I looked down at my little princess, cradled in my arms, sleeping quietly.... as if her breath had already passed. I got up and picked her up from the ground, my destination... her room.

I watched as the women looked her over, and silently wondered what had happened. She was healthy, I'd no doubt about that since Vivianne is our aunt. She had no illnesses or dizzy spells on her... So what could have caused her to faint like that? //
