What if Rosa had loved Kain instead?

[maybee]

Cecil would of been a little annoyed at first going all that way to save and rescue her, but after a while, he would calm down and take a breather and respect Rosa's choice to love Kain.

At their wedding, Cecil would turn up and give them their blessings and while feeling upset, he'll be happy for Rosa and his friend Kain, and just be glad that they're happy with one another.

Cecil would be a slightly lonely single King, but then he'll quickly become a good Uncle to Ceodore now Kain's son instead and guess would be named Richard because of the FF 2 Richard Highwind.

Ceodore now Richard would grow up to become a Dragooner knight like his Father, and everything is calm between the three till Dark Kain comes back in FF 4 After Years.

Cecil argues with Rosa that she married a dangerous man which leads into a emotional fight, however after Kain heals himself again, Cecil apologizes, Kain forgives quickly because Cecil quickly forgave him back in the original game, and Cecil becomes Richard's teacher so he can one day be the first Dragooner to become the Commander of the Red Wings

Cecil also heads into his Royal Chambers and writes out all his feelings about Rosa, rips them up, and stands outside the Castle and lets them go, as they fly into the wind. Symbolizing his letting go of his feelings for Rosa, and moving on.

While Cecil is a more forgiving person, I do think that he also secretly still has a dark/ bitter side, and needs just as time to move on as Kain did, just that Cecil is able to be more less selfish than Kain, and less personal than Kain as well, and is more saved- face than Kain as well.
