Prompt
126) Ryuuki/Jyuusan Hime + Shuurei : Something where Ryuuki and Jyuusan
actually are happy together and this time it's Shuurei who regrets a
lost opportunity at love

As much as she tried not to
react, Shuurei could never control herself from flinching away from the
sound of a child's laughter. Not especially that produced by the crown
prince.
She told herself repeatedly that she did not regret her decisions of
long ago. When she looked upon Ryuuki and Jyuusan Hime fussing over
their beautiful son, Shuurei would remind herself that she could never
have produced the same gift for the Emperor.
And-- she told herself that it really was for the better that Ryuuki
fell in love with his son and moved on. Their brush with first love was
just a fond memory.
