You're the emperor of the western region in the magical continent of Onira which is split up into two parts, the western region which you rule along with the Eastern Region which a powerful woman named Regina rules and while these two sides have almost always been enemies, recently a peace has settled over the lands all thanks to you and Regina secretly having a relationship that almost no-one knows about and recently you even found out that Regina is pregnant although she's currently only 1 week into the pregnancy.
Due to these news you decided to travel to the capital of the eastern region to meet your secret lover although thanks to some trouble you couldn't make it there immediately and had to wait a few days. When you arrive at the large and luxurious palace in the middle of the city you're immediately stopped by the guards but after a bit of waiting you're finally allowed inside and led toward Regina's personal quarters and when you open the door you see Regina sitting in a chair with her legs crossed, facing you like she was waiting. "Took you long enough... When I sent word of the news I thought you loved me enough to come immediately... You know the trip here isn't that long, you could've come earlier..." She says in a tone that sounds really judgemental while she continues to sit cross-legged facing you.
bow “I am deeply sorry for my tardiness. But I cannot leave my kingdom without the certainty that something might happen in my absence. I also have a duty to my subjects as you do to yours."
Regina scoffs and says "Oh please, spare me that speech about 'duty'! You think I'm an idiot? The peace between our lands is thanks to us having a secret relationship in the shadows, not because of some 'sacrifice'. And don't tell me you didn't enjoy being away from your subjects and their petty problems even for a short while. Now please, do come closer so we can discuss this properly..." She gestures with her hand to invite him nearer.
sits next to her “I really like that I start with you. But you know how insistent they are after our returns and departures"
Without looking at him directly, Regina says with an annoyed tone, "Yes, I'm aware of that." She then crosses her arms and pauses before continuing. "But I am the emperor here, so it shouldn't be difficult to have them understand that my needs come first occasionally." Her voice is cold and demanding, but there's a hint of vulnerability underneath it as well.
"Besides," she continues, looking at him out of the corner of her eye, "you could always make excuses or use your influence to get them off your back." The smile that briefly appears on her face is both soft and wicked.
“We know I'm not that shrewd and intelligent when it comes to politics. I'm like an ordinary knight, only born into a royal family. And you have connections and spies all over the continent and beyond" he hold her hand
With a smirk, Regina replies playfully, "Well then, you leave that to me." She squeezes his hand gently before looking away again, her face becoming more serious. "But seriously," she says with sincerity in her voice, "you don't have to worry about my well-being so much. I can take care of myself, and I appreciate the concern." Her tone softens, and a hint of affection creeps into her voice for the first time since he arrived.
"Now," she says more firmly, trying to change the subject, "tell me about what's been happening in your kingdom while I've been cooped up here."
“There's not much to say because there was nothing that would permanently threaten anything in my kingdom. Leoej, tell me what your plan is for the child. Do you want it to take over one of the thrones or to combine both kingdoms through our union and choose one heir?"
"The child will not simply take over one throne," Regina says firmly, her eyes narrowing as she thinks about the implications. "I want it to be a symbol of our unity and power, yes, but I also want it to rule both kingdoms together with me." Her voice is stern, unyielding. "There will be no need for any wars or struggles for dominance between our descendants. The child will have the best of both worlds, the magic of the east and the power of the west."
She pauses for a moment, reflecting on her words before continuing in a softer tone. "Besides, I don't think either of us would want to give up our titles and lives simply because we have children. We have worked too hard to build what we have, and I believe it is important that they understand the value of hard work as well."
"I know you will prepare everything in the future perfectly. Then i suppose you want to help the children in ruling even after he or she will take the throne?" He relax on his chair
"Of course I will," Regina says firmly. "I will teach them everything I know about ruling and managing people, as well as train them in combat and magic. But they must also learn to think for themselves and develop their own unique strengths. The last thing I want is for my children to rely on me forever."
She pauses, gazing into the distance thoughtfully before adding with a small smile, "It's exciting, isn't it? Thinking about the future we could create together? Not just for us, but for our family as well?" Her voice softens as she looks at GoJo with genuine affection in her eyes.
"Of course it is but i know that its be more of you in planing than me. I'm not that smart as you" he smiles
Her eyes widen slightly at his words before she can hide her surprise behind a small smile. "Nonsense," she says with a dismissive wave of her hand. "You are every bit as intelligent and capable as I am, if not more so. It's just that your strengths lie elsewhere." She pauses, considering her next words carefully. "Besides, we make a good team. My cold logic combined with your warmth and compassion creates balance between us. We should use that to our advantage." Her gaze turns steady and determined as she looks at GoJo once more. "Together, I truly believe that we can create something great."
"Then you want to throw a wedding before child is born right?"
"Wedding?!" Regina exclaims, taken aback. "Of course not! That's... premature. We haven't even discussed such a thing yet." Her cheeks flush with embarrassment as she tries to process the idea of marrying GoJo so soon after they started their secret relationship.
"No," she continues after a moment, finding her composure again, "we should focus on our responsibilities and build trust between us first. Once the child is born and we have had some time to get used to this new arrangement... well, then perhaps it would be appropriate to consider marriage." Her eyes search GoJo's face carefully, trying to gauge his reaction.
"I understand" he look on the floor
"Good," she murmurs quietly, watching him intently before looking away once more. "So... tell me about your plans for your kingdom. Anything new I should know about?" She crosses her legs again and leans forward slightly, eager to discuss anything but the wedding topic.
"Nothing new gonna happen everything is fine. But you know it. You have your spies in my castle"
"Hmmph," she snorts lightly. "Well, I suppose that's true enough. But it doesn't mean we shouldn't keep communication open between us." She glances at him sidelong, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "After all, with our combined strength and knowledge, who knows what great things we could achieve together?"
Her voice softens as she continues. "And besides," she adds almost playfully, "it's not like I have anything better to do during my long reign than make sure everyone in the continent is following your example properly." She pauses, biting her lower lip self-consciously before looking away again. "I mean... you know what I mean?"
"Not much. Can explain it?" he look at her
With a small laugh, Regina replies sheepishly, "Well... you know how it is. I tend to get really flustered whenever you're around. You have this way of making me feel... different." Her cheeks flush slightly as she struggles to find the words to describe her feelings for GoJo.
"I mean," she continues, looking down at her lap and fidgeting with her dress, "it's not like I don't care about anyone else or anything like that. But... when it comes to you, it's just... different." Her voice trails off as she looks up at him again, searching his eyes for any sign of understanding or rejection.
"Ah i understand what you mean now. You miss me when i am not around" he smile
She blushes deeply at his understanding words and looks away, embarrassed by her own feelings. "I-It's not just that," she stammers. "It's the way you make me feel... when you touch me or look at me like that..." She trails off, unable to find the right words to express herself fully.
Her heart races as she remembers their passionate encounters in secret, hidden from the world. Even now, just thinking about it makes her body tremble with desire and longing for his touch once more. It's strange how someone who was once her enemy could become so important to her.
“I know I feel the same way. But you know we have to be in our capitals most of the time to exercise power. "Our ways must be enough for us"
Regina nods slowly, her heart aching at the thought of being apart from him again. "I know," she says softly, trying to mask the sadness in her voice. "It's just... sometimes it feels like we spend more time fighting each other than actually helping our people." She pauses, glancing at GoJo meaningfully before continuing. "But then I remember why we started this all in the first place... and I know that we can make things better together."
Her hand finds its way to his leg, gently squeezing it as she meets his eyes again. There's an unspoken promise in her gaze, a vow to continue working towards their shared goals no matter how difficult the journey may be. For now, though, all she wants is for them to be together, even if only for a moment.
"I will visit you and child whenever i can" he smiles
A soft smile spreads across her face at his words as she leans forward to press a gentle kiss against his cheek. "Thank you," she whispers, feeling a wave of relief and affection wash over her. She sighs contentedly before sitting back in her chair again, looking up at him with a warm expression.
"Now," she says after a moment, trying to change the subject once more, "why don't you tell me what you've been doing to improve the lives of your people?" Her curiosity gets the better of her as she eagerly listens for any news about GoJo's kingdom that she might have missed during their time apart.
"We gonna send try to use some of our mountains and look for some metals and other things that we can handle. Maybe if we gonna find something a city will be build them some work places wilk be creat. But we will see in future"
The idea of improving the lives of their people through resource exploration and development piques her interest. "That's an excellent plan," she says with genuine approval. "With your magic, I'm sure you can find ways to make mining safer and more efficient as well." She pauses, tilting her head thoughtfully. "Perhaps we could work together on this project; share our knowledge and resources? It would undoubtedly lead to faster progress and better results for both of us in the long run."
Her gaze meets his once more, hopeful and determined. "What do you think?"
"I like that idea i will look what we can do about it" he squeezed her hand "I wish to be be your side entire time but we can't until you know"
Regina blushes deeply at his words and squeezes his hand in return. "I wish that too," she whispers softly. "But I understand the necessity of our separate roles. In the meantime, let's make the most of our time together when we can." She looks away for a moment, lost in thought before returning her gaze to him once more. "And who knows? Perhaps one day soon, we won't have to worry about distance between us anymore..."
"Maybe one day" his gaze moves away from her eyes
A silent moment passes between them as they both consider the possibility of a future together. There's an almost tangible tension in the air as their hands remain locked together, each one unable to completely let go of the other, even for just a moment. Finally, Regina decides to break the silence.
"You know," she says thoughtfully, her voice barely above a whisper, "perhaps it's not such a bad thing that our lands are so different." Her eyes meet his again, filled with curiosity and a hint of mischief. "I mean... if we ever did marry and combine our kingdoms..." She pauses for effect, her heart racing at the thought of what she's about to suggest. "...what do you think would happen? Would it be chaos or could we create something truly magnificent together?"
“I know you could do it. But unless you want marriage, there is no point in thinking about it.”
Regina laughs lightly at his words, her expression turning playful as she leans forward and whispers, "Oh, you're no fun." Her hand slides up his leg, coming to rest on his knee. "But I suppose we should focus on the matter at hand... which is enjoying our time together while we can." A wicked smile curves her lips as she gazes into his eyes. "What do you say? Want to see if anyone's missed us too much?"
"I need to ask you want the child in inherit your last name right? We won't gry meeried then its need to be decides"
Regina tilts her head slightly, considering the question before shrugging. "I don't see why not," she says with a carefree laugh. "Our child is half of your blood just as much as it's mine. Why shouldn't they carry both names?" Her eyes sparkle with amusement as she looks at him expectantly, waiting for his reaction to her proposal.
As an afterthought, she adds with a more serious tone, "Unless you have a problem with that...? I mean, we haven't discussed it yet but..." She trails off, leaving the question hanging in the air between them.
"Your name will be perfect after all it gonna live with you more than me. I could only visit it when i can"
Regina laughs lightly, her eyes never leaving his face as she responds. "Well then, I guess our child will always have a special connection to you, even when they can't be with you physically." She smiles warmly, feeling a surge of affection for the man sitting across from her. "I think that's rather beautiful, don't you?"
She leans forward slightly, resting her elbows on her knees as she continues to study his features intently. There's a quiet confidence in his words and expression that makes him all the more appealing to her, even if they're only temporary lovers. It's strange how much their relationship has grown and changed over such a short period of time... but perhaps that's what happens when two powerful people decide to come together despite the odds stacked against them.
"I hope that it won't resent me for being absent in their lives"
At his words, she laughs softly and shakes her head, the movement sending her long hair flowing over her shoulders. "Our child won't resent you," she assures him with quiet certainty. "They'll know that you love them and want what's best for them, just like I do." She takes a deep breath before continuing, her voice filled with hope and determination.
"I believe that our child will grow up to be strong and resilient," she says, meeting his gaze directly. "They'll understand the sacrifices we had to make for their sake and they'll appreciate everything that we did." She pauses for a moment before reaching out to stroke his cheek with her fingers. "Because even though it might not seem like much to us now, the love we share... The trust we have in each other? It will be enough to make anything possible."
