Chapter 7 - Family

Félix was now a strong happy twelve year old boy. Along this two years his father taught him some martial arts and how to wield a sword. Félix thought it was strange, since his father was a merchant but when he asked him he just said he had learned in some academy. Besides that Félix quickly became strong.

He too improved his Divine Painter power. He now could draw for example a sword and write the attributes on the paper. Like, enchanted or something like that. Of course he had to go watch how were the swords, and thanks to Mr.Carlo, the man who worked as a blacksmith Félix could learn every little detail.

Félix would enter the same academy as his sister next month, and today was an important day. His sister was going to get married. Keisha and Fred had already graduated.

They were already heading there, along with Keisha. They would celebrate this day in a church near the capital, of course from Keisha's side was only going her brother mother and father.

Tanisha never talked about her parents nor Leonardo, it was a touchy subject. Fred had offered them some money to buy clothes. Keisha took nearly five hours getting ready with the help from Tanisha.

She wore a beautiful long wedding dress with a simple veil. Her brown hair was now curly and her lips looked rosy. Tanisha wore a formal bun and some simple jewels, along with her crimson dress. Leonardo and Félix didn't really had another choice and chose to wear a classy tuxedo.

Let's just stay they were a stunning family.

Thankfully they were already arriving. The carriage stopped in front of a beautiful church. There were some guests, nobles, but some were from other family's, chatting ,drinking and eating. Félix was surprised that many people came, even if this was a commoner and noble marriage. Maybe they weren't that bad persons...

They immediately stopped and looked at the carriage. The first one to get out was Tanisha, then Leonardo, Félix and last but not least Keisha.

Carefully getting out of the carriage with the help of Leonardo she finally touched the ground and breathed in. She was ready.

Everyone sat at their places and waited for the bride to make her entrance. Félix was too nervous since he was going to be the boy who gave them their wedding rings. 

The groom, Fred was too very nervous. He was the heir to the House of Lion and he was ready to do this! He is a man!

Finally a soft melody started to play and Keisha entered the church along with her father. Everyone stood up and Tanisha was already crying and Félix had to give her a tissue.

When Keisha reached Fred, Leonardo finally let go of his precious girl. This was very difficult for him. The priest started to make his speech. And Félix rapidly got up and grabbed the wedding rings that were resting on a beautiful pillow.

-'' Now, the wedding rings...'' The priest motioned for Félix to advance. 

Taking tiny steps he finally made to the couple and bowed down on one knee elevating the pillow so that they could pick up their rings.

Keisha and Fred picked the rings and gave Félix a happy smile.

Félix returned to his seat and watched as they exchanged their vows.

-'' Now the groom can kiss the bride.''

Fred put his hand around her waist, and the other behind her neck. Then he slowly pressed his lips against hers.

Everyone cheered and threw flowers while they were exiting the church. There was still going to be a little party so everyone was just having fun.

***************************

Leonardo was super nervous. He saw. He saw his family here. Why did they have to come? And they obviously saw him since he took his daughter to the altar.

-'' L-Leonardo.''

The voice was heartbreaking and he knew who it was. His mother.

He turned around to watch a beautiful elf women. She had tears in her eyes ready to fall. She quickly ran towards Leonardo and embraced him in a tight hug.

-'' Mother, how are you?''

The women could only stroke her eldest son hair in a tenderly way. Her first son, was healthy and happy, that's all she needed.

-'' It's been difficult, without you.. Sweetheart why don't you let go of that women?''

Leonardo was pissed. They still didn't get it! Leonardo quickly got out from the tight hug.

-'' You are always the same, don't you see I have a family with Tanisha? We are happy! Much better than that atmosphere at that house!''

Even if he was exclaiming he wasn't shouting.

-'' I see... I won't question it anymore. I have a beautiful granddaughter.'' His mother seemed to finally understand or at least try to.

-'' Father!'' 

Helen, Leonardo's mother, looked towards the voice and saw a handsome little boy. She had a grandson too... 

Félix grabbed his father's shirt trying to pull him.

-'' What is it Félix?''

Félix, what a beautiful name.. Helen thought. How could she loose all of this precious time with her family because of some stupid fight. 

-'' Sister was calling-'' Félix was cut off by Keisha herself.

-'' No need, Félix I'm already here.'' Behind her was Tanisha too. 

Leonardo looked at his wife expecting some kind of emotion, but she seemed relaxed with all of this. Here they were looking at each other.

-'' Father, who is this lady?'' Before Leonardo could answer his son question ,another man appeared behind Helen.

He had a strong aura that screamed ''power''. His hair was already white and he had a little mustache.

-'' Father...'' Leonardo whispered.

Keisha and Félix looked confused. Tanisha could only sigh. This was an awkward atmosphere.

-'' Well little boy, this lady here is your grandmother and I'm your grandfather.''

Keisha and Félix looked at them, shocked. This people in front of them, nobles, were their grandparents. Keisha still needed to think more about this but Félix quickly recovered.

-'' Ooh, it's a pleasure to meet you! I'm Félix!''

Harry, Leonardo's father, could only chuckle. This boy in front of him was adorable, and his grandson too. They had all those fights years ago and what a better way to make peace between all of them than now?

-'' Son, I'm not good with words and I know me and your mother made some mistakes along our lives. We really regret it, so won't you forget most of it, so that we can be a family again? And Tanisha. You too we are deeply sorry for all of the fights, we were adults but still didn't get the fact that our son was marrying a commoner. We learned to accept each person for who they are, and we are thankful you have made our son a happy person.''

Tanisha couldn't help the tears streaming down her face.

Leonardo wasn't going to forget nor forgive them for all of this so soon but he couldn't help being happy. Harry, Helen and Leonardo gave each other a group hug. Helen and Harry couldn't leave the others aside so Tanisha, Félix and Keisha ended up joining the hug too.

*****************************

When the party ended Félix, Leonardo and Tanisha said their goodbyes towards Helen and Harry and obviously Keisha and Fred.

-'' Be happy Fred, Keisha.'' Leonardo and Tanisha said. They were all crying, minus Félix. He could only think they were all baby's. But inside he too was really sad.

And thus they returned to their peaceful village. Next month was going to be exciting.
