This is it, after a long and exhausting month, we finally had a place to call home. Everything was just as I had imagined and even better. This long month had made me think a lot and moving forward hand in hand with other people had touched me more than I thought. In my old life I would never have believed this possible. Outwardly I had not changed and I emanated the same aura to others, but inwardly I finally felt like I had found my haven. The construction of this Empire was no longer just a dream but a reality that we had fought for with the sweat of our brows.

Not all the houses had been built yet, but no one was staying in the tents anymore, so it was time to take a break. Most of the new citizens had gathered in the central square and parks to enjoy their new haven. No one was working anymore, everyone had already given a lot during this month that had been tedious so I asked everyone to stop and enjoy this new city for those who wanted to.

The pace of work was about to return to normal so I wanted to officially announce the creation of the Empire with my coronation and my marriage with Gaya.

For the moment, my daughter, my wife and I were not in the city with everyone else but in front of the newly built mansion. I had of course activated the telepathy skill from my Kingdom menu so that Kira could talk with them as well. I was standing in front of the gate of our new house with Shiro and Gaya who had been banned near the area for the month and it was finally time to show them the result.

"Are you ready ? You can open your eyes kufufu~"

I held my wife by the hand on the right side and had our daughter in my arms on the left side. They both had their eyes closed and opened them at the same time while I whispered a few words.

"Welcome home"

My little moon had her eyes wide open with her mouth open as she discovered for the very first time, her new, huge, first real home.

"Mommy...it's...it looks like a princess's house, just like in the stories Lady Viana tells at the orphanage"

She was still in awe as I gently responded by gently pinching her cheek.

"But you know, you are a princess my dear. You're even the cutest and most beautiful Imperial Princess in existence !"

Shiro giggled as she hugged me, her eyes still fixed on the building. The dragoness, on the other hand, still hadn't spoken as I could feel her hand squeeze mine a little tighter. I knew she was waiting to visit before she could comment, so I decided to go ahead and start the visit. Unlike Gaya, my little moon was very talkative and kept commenting enthusiastically on everything she saw.

"The front of the house is full of grass and super big ! I wonder if we can play here with Kate. Oh mommy ! A fountain with a wolf and a dragon, right there !"

Shiro looked wide-eyed at the two statues in front of the stairs as if she was analyzing them before continuing.

"It's a bit scary but like that the bad people won't come in hihi~"

While laughing, we had arrived in front of the big wooden door of the mansion. With my strength, it was not difficult to open it by pushing it lightly with my foot, unable to use my hands which were already taken.

There was no one in the building because for the tour, I didn't want any soldiers or anyone other than the three of us inside. This was our moment, to ourselves.

"Follow me, it's this way"

As the two girls turned their heads to observe everything, I led them to the door opposite that led to the throne room. It was a wooden entrance, heavy and huge, which normally could only be opened by two people. With a second light kick from me, the door opened wide without any problem, to let us see this room, which for me was one of the most magnificent. As I put Shiro on the floor to let her discover the place, Gaya had her eyes looking everywhere as she finally spoke.

"I...this room is gorgeous !"

Our voices echoed and we could hear Shiro's little running noises as she ran around discovering every corner. As we walked along the red carpet to the small stairs, our daughter zigzagged through the large stone pillars on either side while laughing.

"This is the biggest room I've ever seen in my life !"

Shiro was having fun pretending to fly with her arms around the big huge room with her little feet. As she finished her sentence, she stopped to look up at the ceiling which must have seemed gigantic from her small size.

"When I speak I hear my voice repeating a bit of what I say. Mommy, is that magic ?"

Before I could even answer her, Kira with a very soft voice answered.

[No it's not magic, it's called echo and it happens when a room is very big my dear little niece hehe~]

My little sister laughed as she watched from my mind every cute move my daughter made.

"Echo? Uh...hello Echo my name is Shiro ! Take good care of this beautiful room !"

We couldn't help but smile warmly either as the little girl in front of us looked so pure.

[Hello Echo haha~]

After crossing the room, we were all facing the three thrones that majestically dominated the entire place, illuminated by the sunlight coming through the large windows at the back.

"Here are our three seats, the middle one is obviously mine and the other two are yours !"

I could see Gaya and Shiro slowly moving forward to take a closer look at these imperial thrones, while examining them by touch. Despite their materials which were stone and ice for mine, they seemed rather comfortable. There was a kind of cushion inlaid in the seat so that we could sit longer without getting sore over time.

I didn't want to sit on mine until the coronation as my wife sat on it and our daughter climbed on it as best she could with her small knees and small arms. She seemed to be climbing a wall so I obviously helped her into her seat not without an unconscious chuckle.

"It's soft and not hard at all ! I really like this chair mommy !"

My little moon was flapping her feet in the air as she smiled with all her teeth and I stroked her head. Her smile was as dazzling as the white moon in the dark night and knew how to warm our hearts.

[This place is as impressive as it is beautiful onee-san]

"Kira is right Freya, I can't even imagine what's next !"

With a mischievous smile, I beckoned them to come with me to continue the exciting discovery of this mansion that was now ours.

After that, the visit of the ground and second floor was quite quick because there was not much interesting for our family. We had done all the rooms adjacent to the throne room before going upstairs. For the second floor, I didn't want to bother Shiro so I planned to explain more about the different work places to Gaya later.

So we had finally arrived at the top floor which happened to be our private quarters. At the top of the stairs, there was another small staircase that led to the top of the tower with a view of the city, the garden and the sea but that was the surprise at the end. The corridor went left to cross the left wing of the mansion, which consisted of the bedrooms, the personal library, the dining room, the living room, the game room and the shower room.

The right wing, was composed of everything that was a little more work related with our personal offices, the kitchen and the other bedrooms.

"Sweetie, would you like to explore your new room ?"

"Oh yes !!!"

As I took Shiro's hand in mine, I headed down the left hallway to enter the farthest room. This room was in the back of the wing of the mansion because it was the only one on this side that had a perfect, all-encompassing view of the sea. When we entered, both my wife and daughter were amazed to see a glass roof that could be closed with curtains that could be pulled from the door. The room was large, white, bright and even had a large balcony shared with the room to the left next door which was ours.

"Mommy...is this my room ?"

"Yes sweatheart"

My little moon's eyes were shining even brighter than when she discovered the throne room. For the first time she had a place where she could do what she wanted, a place of her own in this cruel world...her refuge. The bed was still small and its sheets were white with a moon symbol embroidered on them. There wasn't much to it because the decoration was secondary for the moment and I wanted to let my daughter decorate as she wanted. This room, I had built it here for my little girl, who could wake up with the sound of the waves and fall asleep under the stars.

"Thank you mommy, thank you, thank you !"

She hugged me with moist eyes and a tail that was livelier than ever and hadn't stopped wagging once since we arrived. Gaya was on her side smiling and stroking her head still amazed by the details of each place, which had been built with frightening precision.

While Shiro finished discovering her room which she seemed very proud of, I decided to show Gaya our room. It was right next to our daughter's room and could even be accessed through a door from inside or from the common balcony. At the moment, Shiro was still very young, so I found it more convenient and reassuring for the three of us that things were done this way. So the dragoness and I stood in the hallway, in front of the large door to our room a handle in each of our hands to open it at the same time.

"Are you ready ?"

"Yes !"

[Go open the door !]

The room was just as beautiful as the previous one, simple and large. This time not only was the roof made of glass, but the wall that led to the shared balcony was also made of glass. Like a large bay window illuminating the room from all sides. Our room didn't have much decoration either at the moment but it was our refuge. The walls had purple and red reminders that matched the atmosphere perfectly. The four-poster bed had deep black sheets reminiscent of my hair color and crimson curtains reminiscent of Gaya's, all around.

"I...I don't know what to say.."

At that moment, my wife looked like Shiro, her amber eyes shining brightly and she was as excited as a child discovering a treasure. While she kept looking around with her hand over her heart, I took her by the hips from behind and whispered a sentence in her ear.

"My love, this is where we will spend our first night. Now that the Empire is built I will keep my promise and marry you. I have already informed the others, the wedding preparations have already begun and we will be married after the coronation."

The dragoness blushed as she turned to me to hug me. She didn't say a word, but a radiant smile appeared on her sweet face.

[You love her, right ?]

*I love her madly*

"I love you madly too honey"

The sun was setting as I finally decided to show them the tower that I was saving for last. We had already visited the garden, which was so much more enjoyable for the three of us that we had already planned to have tables set up in the garden to eat at every day. The sun and sea air blended into an idyllic, serene, family setting as we walked out of the garden to where my surprise was.

"Here's the last thing I wanted to show you."

We were back in the hallway and in front of us was the last staircase we hadn't taken yet. All three of us were inside the manor, but this staircase had the distinction of exiting from the outside before going up to the tower.

As we climbed the stairs quietly, we could see flowers and all kinds of plants, climbing to the top. The staircase was not closed, which explained the air that passed by and the presence of the flora that grew on the railing.

[Wow !]

We had finally reached the top and from this glass tower the sea and our kingdom stretched out. Shiro didn't speak or ask any questions, too absorbed by this extraordinary view. As for Gaya, she had her hands over her mouth and could not hold back her tears. As I held them both in my arms with a smile on my lips and a look filled with love, I watched the sun slowly set in the distance.

"This first sunset, I wanted to see it with you. Tonight the coronation will take place and tomorrow the wedding. I wanted to tell all three of you, Kira, Shiro, Gaya that I am grateful for what you have given me in my life. I love you...I love you so much and I will never regret the choices I made that led me to this very moment."

For the first time in my life I let my heart speak fully, as in the glass tower of our new home were the people most dear to my heart.
