Chapter 3: The Prince Charmer...
The ballroom was filled with dignitaries from all over the universe
by the time the royal court started to come through the doors. They were
all greeted with people who just bowed their heads since it was the informal
ball. Everyone was at ease, all wearing casual clothes. The Inner Sailor Senshi
were escorted to the ball by their husbands. Their children were left with the
royal nannies, Luna and Artemis.
As usual, Serenity, or Serena was the last one to arrive. By custom, she
had to sit on her throne, wearing an elegant cerulean dress, shimmering under the
magically-lit chandeliers.
The throne next to her was empty. It was reserved to the man who would
be honored enough to sit next to the mighty moon queen. It was last sat on by her
father, Prince Consort Keith of the Sun Kingdom.
Everyone was enjoying themselves, somewhat. The occasion was somewhat
strained and palpitable tension could be felt across the crowded ballroom. The dignitaries
were unaware of the source of tension, though they could feel it. Endymion, or Darien, was
with his fiancee, Alex, and his son Damien. Darien had adopted Damien when he was
on his trip to Europe and found a one month old Damien out in the rain. Darien had
decided to make Damien his son from then on. Peculiarly, when Darien found
Damien, there was a faint mark on Damien's forehead. But it was too faint for
Darien to make something out of the faint glowing patch. It was six years later and
the mark only came out when Damien was either extremely happy or extremely
upset and would fade quickly. He had a terror from thunder as well.
Alex told Darien, "Endy, I can't believe we're getting married! I've always
wanted my own family. Now I get a handsome husband and a charming son." She
continued to gush. Darien was getting bored of her chatting however, but he figured it
would go away when they married. Married. That word he never in his several
lifetimes associated with anyone else but Serena. He looked to where Serena was
seated on her throne. She was looking quite bored. He always loved the way her nose
crinkled when she was bored. He was snapped back to the reality of the situation. He
would be marrying someone else in a week and he would never again touch Serena or
hold her in his arms ever again. He wondered if this was the right thing to do. He
needed someone to be with and he wanted a mother to Damien, but is this what he
would be happy with? Everytime he spent time with Alex and throughout their
courtship, he felt wrong when he kissed her. It was Alex who more or less forced his
hand into this marriage. He would gently refuse her advances, especially those requiring
the bedroom. He looked down at Alex, who was still chatting away, not realizing
that Darien's attention was elsewhere. Darien knew that Alex never really wanted
children. He saw how she was when she was with Damien, and he never saw any real
maternal love between the two. He had a suspicion that Alex somewhat resented Damien.
"Papa?" Damien looked up to his father, Damien knew that his father was
in one of those moods again. He would drift off, especially when around Alex.
Darien looked down on his son, who amazingly, had striking similarities to
him. "Yes, son?"
Damien pointed at Serena, "Daddy, who is she? She's very pretty and she
seems nice, but she seems very lonely."
Darien followed his son's finger. It was true that Serena did look like she
was lonely, a touch of sadness showed on her face. The same sadness that Darien
always tried to conceal whenever around Serena. "That's Neo-Queen Serenity. She's
a friend of the Sailor Senshi. She's nice and she's a fun person."
"Maybe I can cheer her up!" Damien ran to the garden before Darien
could catch him. Darien let him go, he knew that he was safe in the palace. Darien
next saw Damien with a red rose, walking toward Serena. He was suprised at his son,
not because he would go up to Neo-Queen Serenity, but because he looked so much
like him with the rose.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~
Serena was extremely bored. Pluto was in-charge of the music department
and she played songs from when she was a teenager. 'Ah, the memories.' And what
memories they were! Mostly happy ones, but now that she looked back, it broke her
heart.
Damien approached Serena, with a red rose in hand. "Hello, you looked
sad so I thought you'd like this." Damien handed a suprised Serena with the rose.
Serena stared at the rose and at Damien. He looked so much like Darien
with the red rose in hand. Darien always used to give her a red rose whenever she
was sad and memories made her eyes misty.
"Thank you. It's very nice of you to do that." Serena accepted the rose
from Damien with a smile on her face and sat on the small stairs in front of her
throne. Damien then promptly sat on her lap.
Everyone stopped whatever they were doing to look at the moon queen
and the prince of Earth. The queen looked so right with the young child on her lap.
Everyone felt extremely saddened for her because she had no husband and no
children.
Damien was telling Serena about his rose garden back on earth, when
Darien came in front of them. Serena stopped giggling with Damien when Darien
came. She looked up and blue met blue. His eyes were still as intense as his
personality. Memories of love flashed between their eyes as Damien still talked.
Finally, Serena broke the eye contact. "This is you son, I believe. He's
an absolute charmer." Serena looked back at Damien and smiled. She loved the
child dearly already. 'Just like his father.' She wanted to add. It was not a
secret among the members of the Alliance that Damien was adopted. It was
rumored that Damien wasn't really found, but was actually Darien's son by blood.
The rumor would have backing since Damien was a carbon-copy of his father.
Serena long wondered who his mother could be.
"Yes, he is. Come along Damien, there's still much we need to do."
Darien took Damien in the hand gently.
"Okay, Daddy. Nice to meet you Rena. I hope I get to dance with you
soon." Damien went off with his father.
