TOIRE AND KEKI arrive in a large, luxurious room that had been reserved for them after the wedding, for their honeymoon.
It is luxurious, with carved wooden furniture, the bed has a ceiling and veil curtains, they are closed on each side of the bed, only those on one side are fastened with a slat, on the head is the seal of CHOSEN with gold letters.
This was princess SATORI's old bedroom.
The curtains in the room are as large as their windows.
KEKI and TOIRE are still standing, TOIRE is the first to leave his weapons on the room table.
KEKI watches, after TOIRE sits in an armchair near the table, she goes to sit on the bed, she feels very tired, TOIRE is also, more than anything, both emotionally than physically.
Seeing that she lies down after sitting down, TOIRE approaches her to untie the shoes, she, feeling that TOIRE begins to untie her shoes, she straightens out.
She observes him, he is serious, his rictus is kinder and calmer, she thinks that, TOIRE is a very strong man, he has gone through a lot and still cares about small details.
KEKI caresses TOIRE's face.
With concern, she asks TOIRE: will we be okay?
TOIRE as he finishes taking off his shoes, says yes... they will be.
KEKI: how do you know?
TOIRE gets down on his knees in front of her, looks her in the eye, takes his hand.
TOIRE asks KEKI very seriously: KEKI... you, do you love me?
Do you really love me?
KEKI tearfully tells her that yes, she is blushing, holding out crying.
TOIRE says that, if they have managed to live up to that moment it is because their love has protected them.
KEKI is about to cry.
TOIRE LOVES KEKI and this is why he has decided to live his life by his side.
KEKI asks in a somewhat muted voice: have you forgotten that I no longer possess virtue to give to my husband?
Besides, they cannot forget that, there is a being within her and it is clear that it is a child who does not carry her blood.
KEKI cries.
TOIRE hugs her and wipes away her tears with kisses on her face.
KEKI looks at him a little surprised.
TOIRE says that, if she really loves him... if she loves him with all her soul, she will be able to understand that, he didn't put requirements like that before he married her and now neither.
He doesn't remember demanding such a virtue.
You can only be sure of something... if he was the one who succumbed to those women, sisters of LUNA and with luna herself, it is as if it had been planned by CHONT-SU, only then would he get TOIRE to understand what KEKI went through.
Perhaps if it had not been so, he would not have been able to understand it in this depth.
In addition, what happened with LUNA, as with CHONT-SU, was not voluntary either, so, he would also be badly standing in front of her, since, he also has no virtue to give to his wife, he lost her in the arms of another person, but, not for a second she can think that he does not love her.
TOIRE, by KEKI, will do the impossible.
He asks her to please let him be the most loving father to his daughter, he asks her to let him be as much hers as his.
KEKI can't help but cry, deeply grateful and feels so loved by TOIRE that she no longer feels guilty.
KEKI if she apologizes to TOIRE for having felt love for CHONT-SU, it wasn't just AMELIA, she felt it herself.
This saddens TOIRE, as if his world is over, but, he is aware of everything.
He understands a bit what KEKI says, he himself also developed a feeling for LUNA.
He states that he knew many details because, he spoke to INKU and he told her about his stay at the castle.
In fact, TOIRE feels jealous, he himself believes that, had he been the one who was taken in her place, he would not have been able to avoid loving that man either.
In the same way he has developed affection for LUNA and his unborn child.
KEKI, hugs him a little desperate, can't help but feel a little scared, that, TOIRE ends up deciding on her legitimate son, she feels selfish to allow him to stay next to her.
TOIRE caresses her hair and promises her that everything will be fine.
Little by little KEKI stops crying, apologizes for her weakness, fear had controlled her.
TOIRE, with a slight smile, gives him some handkerchiefs, tells him that he should clean those snot.
For a moment, it makes her laugh.
TOIRE, joins on her and kisses her, KEKI at first, is a little tense, can feel the warmth of TOIRE's lips, his desire to have her close, TOIRE is lying down while kissing her, KEKI hugs him with one of his hands on his back and the other on his nape, where TOIRE's hair is entangled , they get lost in kissing, relaxing their mind, lost in sensations that quench their thirst for tranquility.
While TOIRE kisses KEKI with somewhat high-pitched passion, sliding her hand across KEKI's hip, she pulls the ribbon that stopped the curtains and it closes.
TOIRE is looking forward to KEKI: can I?
KEKI responds agitated: you must...
The night has been long.
OKE and INKU are asleep, lying on the bed, hugging... at least that's what they think, each on their own side, has not been able to sleep, but, they remain still so as not to wake up the other.
In TOIRE AND KEKI's room, the two are, hugged, very still, with her lying on his chest.
It's a strange feeling.
They needed to merge into one being to calm their cravings, their fears.
Now that they have consummated their marriage, the feelings they feel are a little more scary.
She can't help but compare this feeling to the one she felt with CHONT-SU after making love, when they talked, feeling her breathing, her smell... it's different.
TOIRE also feels the same...
So many times that he shared the bed with those women... with LUNA, he is surprised to caress KEKI's hair, the feel of his hair, is totally different.
She feels a hole in her stomach, it's a different feeling, there's some fear, she never felt doubt about her decision to stay with her.
Only, it's something new for him.
No doubt, both think that they have a long way to go.
