Yami and Charlotte had bought a house of their own before their marriage, because yami never liked to have their private lives under the eyes of others.

 It was close to the squad of black bulls and blue roses,  So that they can sneak into their house when they want easily.

 they could not leave Their squad members alone ، their duty as a captain does not allow them to do ,  so they reached an agreement that there will be a day off for them in the week to meet each other at home and make up for what they missed , but this did not stop Yami  to sneaking into  blue roses squad at night during weekdays , and that has become a tradition that no one has opposed .

 It has been 15 years since their marriage and many thing changed ,  now they  returned from the ceremony of receiving the grimoire , their eldest daughter Akemi has got her own grimoire today.

 Yami is not surprised that his daughter gets her mother pure magic , magic of the rose , she  look like  Charlotte , with her golden hair and her icy personality ,  and  she Also made a braid like her mother, but she tied it next to her head .
he always  say that she was a mini version of Charlotte , except  she took his gray color of his eyes,  She was his favorite child , perhaps because she is the eldest of his sons , but he will not admit he love her more than her brothers just because she looks like Charlotte .

They wanted to celebrate on this occasion ,  when they reached home they were surprised by a dining table ،  Charmy took care of preparing this table  ، and left it as a surprise to them with a blessing message for them.
Yami smiled while he reading the message , and shouted to his children to start the eating , while He put his arm around Charlotte waist as he looked at his children.

  his son Tetsuo rushed to sit at a table first , and he was talking with his older sister about her getting grimoire and that he would also get it after two years , and he would surpass her.
 His sister sat calmly to beside him , but her face seemed to be disappointed , Something like this Yami wouldn't miss it ,  he used to read and understand Charlotte icy face , It will not be difficult with his daughter , he know there is something wrong , and make a note in his mind to talk to her afterdinner .
 His last childs , twins were girls who were 11 years old , the two girls were identical in everything , and they both had black hair tied like a ponytail , They both have gray ayes like  their father .

Distinguishing between them was so difficult ,  he admitted without his ability to read the ki He can't distinguishes between them , even if each one of them had her different magic .

the eldest daughter yuuki gets her father pure magic, the magic of darkness , and her personality is very similar to him , 
as for the younger Aiko , she took her mother magic , magic of the rose , and she was calm , shy and kind with everyone. 

He felt that she inherited the other hidden side of Charlotte .
 She was different from everyone else ,  with her calm and love for everyone , Yami did not know if that because she was born so weak , and she almost dying in his arms , And he had to give Some of his  magic power to her so she can hold on And stay alive , her survival was a miracle.
  for this she loved everyone and gave them other chance .

 the sound of the twins quarrel  Bringing him back to reality , as they were quarreling as usual who would receive grimoire before the other.
 He smiled at Charlotte surrounded by his arm before sitting at the table.
...................................

 After a while he found Akemi standing on the balcon , He knew there was something going on her mind , he lit a cigar and stood next to her, she looked at him moving her hand in a way that showed her annoyance about her father smoking.

 " Be aware that if my mother see you smoking, she will get angry with you , because you promised not to smoke in the house" .

 Yami laughed and said, "You really are like your mother , she said in the house  , and she said nothing about the balcon" .
 She succumbed to her father argument , she will never win . 

Yami looked at her seriously and said to her, " Is there something wrong my little princess? Why are you upset , you got a grimoire and you will start to choose your life" .

 She sighed and took a peek at grimoire, and she answered ,
"everyone thought that I was different and very strong ، and I used my magic Well since I was a kid , even more than those kids of my age", and she looked in her father eyes hesitantly before completing that ،
"I was thought i worthy to get  grimoire 4 Leaves not  3 leaves ,  it looks like I'm not good enough to get it" .

 Yami looked at her and laughed and put his hand on her head , Think for a moment that her magic powers are really great and rare for those of her age , and it is not known how far her magic power will reaches. 
She was very different , She started using  her magic  well since she was 4 and maybe befor .

and  He will not forget that incident which happen when she was 7 years old , maybe His daughter  not remember it , but he will not forget it , She had something rare and he will help her to discover it .

" My father, what do you think?" , She said and frowning in his face, ( she reminded him of Charlotte when she was upset ) .
  " of your stupidity, and why do you thought like that ? And what does matter if the grimoire you carrying 3 or 4 leaves ?! , what matters is prove that you are strong and able to protect people as a knight of magic , and you get Recognition of your  power from the people , and not one of us as captain carrying grimoire 4 leaves at the end , and no one denies our power ,or do you have an objection of that ? " .
Yami said as he squeeze his hand on her head , and  she began to scream,"Yes , I understand" .
 She got rid of her father grip and looked into his eyes resolutely and smiled, he was right, She should prove that she is the strongest.

 then they were interrupted by Charlotte, with a sharp tone and a look " Here you are , finally i found you , Are you sneaking to smoke again here? Akemi Do you cover up your father"  .
 " No , I warned him, I told him that you would be angry with him ", Akemi said.
 
Yami laughed and took out his cigarette and threw it from the balcon .
" Calm down  prickly queen , It is not like that , but it is a conversation between father and daughter " .
Charlotte sighed as she close  of them  as she mumbled "when would you stop calling me like this?" .
" I will never stop!" , He answered her .

Akemi  try escaped to inside befor her parents usual discussion starte , when Charlotte voice stopped her. 
" Do you still want to take the magic test ?  Your parents already is the captain of two magic squads ، You can choose any of us without  need to do that".

 She turned to her mother with a smile and placed her hands on her waist and said to her : " Of course I will , I  prove myself and my strength in front of all , and who said  I will choose one of your squads ? , I did not decide that yet , I will choose my squad myself" .

She fled inside before her parents began to question her , and while she was leaving she found her brother in front of her and he said to her, " and I will also prove that I am the strongest" , She smiled at him and said "let's see".

" she will not do that to us ?",  Charlotte  questioned.
 Yami audibly sighed and rubbed his hand in his face .
 "I do not know ,  since her childhood she decides things on her own , she has inherited her stubbornness from you and she will do anything to prove her strength" .

Charlotte approached him and hugs him with her arms and put her head in his chest,
" it is unfortunate that the daughter of two captain of magic squads goes to another squad, it will be embarrassing" . 

 Yami laughed while he was caressing her hair, putting a hair behind her ear, he raising her chin and he kiss her ,  
" this is her life ,  although if she did it  she would break my Sensitive heart, but I would support her decision" .

 Charlotte laughed at his gestures and smiled at him.
" I am very happy with you and my little family"  .
Yami hugged her tightly, " and I am also very lucky that you loved me, and it is good that I kidnapped or maybe I waited for a longer of time until you confessed to me ".
She hit him in the chest and  said , "shut up yami that not true ".

He raised her eyebrows in her face and said ،" You didn't tell me your feelings and hid them for 10 years? How can I know that you love me ? , I thought you hate me and you want to kill me , then suddenly, while I am near of death , and in the midst of a battle, I find a kiss from you ?!".

 She smiled in his chest and murmured laughter, "I am sorry". 

This was all yami needed,  his life will not be better than that.

 Destiny in the coming years seems to be planning otherwise
