She's That Knight Known as Zero 107 25 Years

"You seemed to have been there for a while now, sir Dai," she said as she sat up.

"The king is becoming anxious and he wanted to speak with you right after you woke up, that's why I had to lie in wait," Dai replied.

"I shall be on my way, I'll just clean up. Please inform him that."

Dai nodded before disappearing once again.

As she stepped out of the bed her brows furrowed. She thought of something before continuing on her way.

"Can we wake them up now?" Akihiro asked urgently. He was waiting for her when Dai had told him she had woken up. Haruka was beside him as well.

"Shall we then, your highness," Eureka respectfully said as she went ahead herself.

Though confused Akihiro and Haruka followed her.

At an underground tunnel, Akihiro is nervous at the same time excited. He never thought this day would come. He held Haruka's hand who has the same feeling as he has.

Deep within the underground was a big door. Not one other than Akihiro, Haruka, Dai and Kaoru know of it. The secret that Akihiro have kept for so long.

As soon as the door opened, what welcomed them was two beds adjacent to each other. There lies two people. One was a lady and the other was a man. Both have the same features, what more their features matches Haruka and Akihiro's pretty well.

"Nana, Rino, you're about to wake up now," Haruka lovingly said as Akihiro smiled warmly.

(Flashback)

The day after Haruka have miscarriage.

"Why did you keep quiet about them, your highness?" Dai asked respectfully to Akihiro, both of them are in the hidden underground room. There lies two new born babies. Both are breathing but they just won't wake up. Both are alive at the same time not.

"I can tell, they might seem alive but they will never open their eyes. I don't know if I would find a way to change that. And I don't want Haruka to face such heartbreak," he said as he touched the hands of the sleeping babies.

As times passed, he had noticed how their bodies are growing. They are growing up like normal people, but they never opened their eyes.

(End of Flashback)

"You must return to you bodies now, once we do this and both of you are outside then you really wouldn't wake up," Eureka suddenly said at one side of the room, confusing Haruka and Akihiro greatly.

"You really are lucky, your highness. For them to remain beside you all this time. They just couldn't tell you so," Eureka said to them.

"Are you saying that Nana and Rino are both around me all this time?" Akihiro asked.

"Yes, your highness. I've noticed it the first time I came here. Back when I defeated those 40 enemies. When sir Yukimura brought me straight here, I've noticed their souls around you. Standing guard," Eureka replied as she sense their souls returning to their bodies.

"Is that even possible?" Akihiro asked.

"Nothing is impossible in a world full of abilities such as this, your highness," Eureka replied as she stood in between the beds.

"Do you have any idea what their abilities are?" she then asked.

"Yes, back when you helped unseal Haruka's ability. I had a feeling that both of them have inherited our abilities."

"Indeed, your highness. The prince inherited the Ice ability while the princess inherited the Magma ability. That's why I'll be needing both your energies to wake them up."

"But couldn't we have just woken Nana while waiting for Haruka?"

"I can't, your highness. I don't want to leave any of them alone," was her reply causing Akihiro to be speechless.

His longing for his children made him overlook the loneliness one would feel once they are left alone, not being seen by their family.

"The only reason they were able to remain for so long is because they are together, supporting each other. Waiting for the day they could finally wake up," Eureka once again said as she clapped her hands placing them on top of Nana's chest.

"Once I give the signal, please place your hand beside mine and slowly release your energy," she instructed Akihiro who stood on the other side waiting patiently.

A few minutes passed, "Now, your highness. Release your energy slowly and follow my every command."

Akihiro nodded and did as he was told. Sweat started appearing on his forehead. He never expected that controlling your energy would be this difficult.

"You can stop now, your highness," beads of sweat also appeared on Eureka's forehead as she faced Rino.

"It's your turn, your highness," Eureka said to Haruka.

"Don't you need to rest for a bit?" Haruka asked with concern, it's pretty obvious that what Eureka is doing is very difficult.

"I have rested more than enough, your highness. I am completely fine for this is nothing," Eureka replied as she placed her hand on top of Rino's chest.

And just like what Akihiro have done, Haruka did the same until Eureka told her to stop. Haruka couldn't help but to collapse, she just didn't expect that it would be this difficult for her as well.

"We can bring them up to their rooms now, your highness. They just need to get use to having bodies before they wake up," Eureka finally said as she wipe her forehead.

Akihiro didn't wait long and have Dai carry Rino while he carried Nana.

*****

"So what are you planning now?" Kaoru asked Akihiro as they watch over Rino and Nana.

"I'm planning to introduce them fisrt to Yukimura and the others before introducing them to the public. I'll have a grand ball for them. 25 years Kaoru, it took us 25 years before we can finally be a whole family," he then look at Eureka who was standing by the door.

"And it is all thanks to you. You have given me so much, thank you Eureka," he said sincerely.

"It is for the kingdom, your highness. We also need their abilities in order to win our war," Eureka replied.

She was about to leave when she furrowed her brows and face Akihiro once again.

"I can't seem to feel their auras, where are the seven of them, your highness?" she asked.

"Oh, they were sent on an escort mission. The prince from Confederate will be coming to visit us. I just thought that they were the best candidate to be sent," Akihiro replied.

The aura surrounding Eureka have changed tremendously, "You sent them on an escort mission?"

"Yes, what is it?"

"Your highness, I've asked you of one thing when I explained to you their training. I asked you not to send them out yet after that previous training. Even if they could use their abilities better than the others, it doesn't mean that they can use it as freely as before in that instant. When did you send them?"

"Two weeks ago. What is going on?"

"We have no idea who among our enemies are lurking outside our kingdom, and you just sent them out just like that. That was the only thing I've asked, your highness. That was the only thing and you didn't even listen," Eureka replied her voice full of urgency.

"I am the king-"

"ENOUGH!!" Akihiro wanted to rebuke, why did she suddenly have to get mad at him once again but he was interrupted by Eureka as she stomped her foot on the ground and closed her eyes.

Akihiro was about to reprimand her when Kaoru covered his mouth.

"Expand, expand, expand," was what they heard her mutter.

Not long after her eyes snapped open and looked outside the window, "Damn, prepare all your doctors and every medical people you have."

She said to Akihiro before she run outside.

"Something must have happened," Kaoru told him as he started instructing people.

Urgency enveloped the whole castle as they did what Eureka told them to do before leaving. Some of them followed the path she took. Horses running have welcomed the people of the kingdom. Not just five or so but ten of them. And the ones riding it are mostly the generals and Yukimura.

"Have I done something to my knights again?" Akihiro couldn't help but ask Haruka as they watch the horses sped away. Of course he couldn't leave with them.

"Well find out once they all return, but Akihiro," Haruka said looking up at him.

"Didn't she had her emotions sealed? But she is mad."

Akihiro furrowed his brows and looked at Kaoru who was in the same place as they are.

"Well, obviously we both lied. She wanted me to do so. She didn't want to be close to anyone and thought that once she have everyone thought her emotions are sealed, no one would try to get close to her. But in this kind of fight that we are all having, of course we all need our emotions to help us judge. So her only choice was to make me lie with her. That was back when I made those stupid mistakes. I can only comply," Kaoru explained as he raised his hand.

"Am I supposed to get mad in this kind of situation, Haruka?" Akihiro asked as his whole mind is in chaos.

"Did she do anything grave? She lied but no one was hurt about it. Will you get mad at her for trying to stay away?" Haruka asked in return.

"I guess, I really need to speak to her," Akihiro replied as he looked back at the room where his children lies.
