Ohno smiled as he looked out of his window at the young couples walking around in the gardens. His hands were clasped behind his back, on his desk was a mountain of correspondence that he was meant to be replying to but most would be the same response. Thank-you for your unwavering support, should there be any need to call the banner I shall be happy to have you at my side…I wish you and your family greetings for the winter festival and will inform my family of your warm regards. He was truly surprised that most, if not all of the northern lords were supporting him and the action that his son had taken in taking Ninomiya’s life. He had always thought of the man as an unpleasant lynch pin but now he realised that it had not been the man but the woman, Kazuko, that held the north…Something that he was anxious to have her keep doing when he had gotten rid of the unpleasant aspect that was her son.

The lords, who were being so quick to show themselves loyal to him, were offering him valuable information on Yuichi. Before even leaving the palace he must have sent messages out calling on those loyal to his father. A few younger nobles had been persuaded with hopes of glory and fame on the battlefield but they were only a handful and of no consequence. They took with them armies no bigger than 20 men strong and that combined with the three lords that had yet to inform him of their loyalty, who he had always had problems with, would break upon the impressive force of his own army. Although it might not have been how he would have done it, Jun’s hot headed actions had served to make it possible for him to get rid of the remaining threats to his country and once he had killed Yuichi and installed Kazuko as regent to his lands in the north…Maybe with Thomas Hardy at her side as husband. He would finally have it all under his direct rule.

“You are smiling somewhat like a cat that has gotten into the kitchens and stolen the best cream, husband…Am I to know what has pleased you so…?”

“The sight of young people in love…”

“You mean your Jun in love…” The queen said fondly coming up behind him and tucking hers into his side so she too could look out of the window and at the wonderful sight that was before him. “He has a smile that was once reserved for you…Are you not jealous husband? That your favourite will soon be taken from you?”

“…I would if his feelings were not returned...My children deserve only the best…” Ohno smiled turning to look at his beautiful wife and Aurora chuckled lightly playing around with a lock of his hair pushing it away from his eye whispering;

“But your Jun the most?”

“…I do not mean to favour him the most…”

“I know and the others know…It is why they only lightly tease him; you have never loved him more just favoured him but then Jun has always favoured you the most…”

“He has another that he favours now…” Ohno tried hard not to pout but looking out of the window and seeing Jun’s face shining with happiness as he looked at Nino was enough to make him feel decidedly lonely. Aurora chuckled again and then moved forward kissing his lips lightly and breathing;

“As is the way of life…My love, as I once favoured my father as the only man I could ever love I turned that affection to you…Jun may be leaving you but I will always favour you…”

“I could ask for nothing better…When Jun told me that he preferred men, I was worried for him…I feared that he would end up as the trophy husband of some lord…”

“Our son would never have been that…”

“Logically I know it…When I met Nino…I was once again worried…Jun needs somebody that can be firm with him…Or his rash thinking will get the better of him…Once again my fears are needless…It might not be the way that I would control our son…But Kazunari has a sound head on his shoulders and once he has learned to step out of his father’s shadow a little more he will be the best helpmate for our son…”

“Indeed…They will be fine…Now kiss me…And allow me to enjoy the happiness of youth…”

A/N: I hope that this is okay ^_^
