Chapter 1 – Arrangements
"Well Mr. Matsumoto, has your daughter agreed to our arrangements?" the dark haired man inquired impatiently, his gaze focused on the couple in front of him, the fair haired man and his slender amber haired wife beside him.
"Sorry King Hiwatari, but I'm afraid my daughter is having some difficulty making her decision…" Mr. Matsumoto answered hesitantly.
"She what?!" King Hiwatari almost choked, as he had drank some wine from the chalice he held in his hand.
"Please you majesty!" Mr. Matsumoto tried to reason "Try to understand, my daughter was only afraid of being rejected by your son in front of all the other…"
"No excuses!" King Hiwatari interrupted, slamming the golden chalice he held onto the table in outrage. His penetrating stare leaving the Matsumoto's speechless in fear. "In front of all the other girls" he sneered "Is that what you were going to say, Mr. Matsumoto?"
The fair haired man stood their almost lifeless with every bone in his body frozen in fear. "Y-Yes your majesty…"Mr. Matsumoto managed to say.
"Ha! That is such an absurd excuse!" King Hiwatari scoffed "Of all the things to be concerned about she is worried about the reaction of the other girls of her rejection. I, of course would understand if she were afraid of my son, after all that would be perfectly natural for the wife-to-be of my son to act like, to be captivated by his every word. He's a son after my own heart, although he's a bit rebellious, but I had no doubt women fear him with all the power he'd gain, yet also be charmed by his features, wanting to be his wife…just like when I was his age! However, in your situation that is not the case" King Hiwatari paused, his face overshadowed by the locks of his silvery bangs, now deep in thought.
"Y-Yes…but your highness," Mrs. Matsumoto cautiously spoke up in a very sugary toned voice "I'm sure my daughter is afraid of your son too but I have no doubt I can convince her to come despite her worries! Can you please give her a second chance?"
"Very well then," he nodded "I will let your daughter to come to the ball!" After all, the more girls I get to want to marry my son…the better, maybe I shouldn't have gotten mad about the worries of the Matsumoto's daughter, she wants to marry him if he chooses her at the ball and that's what matters! Heh, that other excuse-for-a-king won't know what hit him at that ball, when his son has to choose from the women candidates he's gotten hold off. Well my Kai's choice will be better than his, I'll make sure of it, he thought mischievously.
"Oh thank you, King Hiwatari!" Mrs. Matsumoto exclaimed happily "You won't regret it!"
"Yes, yes…now move along now" he waved the Matsumoto's away "I have work to do."

"Rei-chan!" the elegant Chinese women with long black hair exclaimed as she stood near the bottom of the winding staircase, with its surface overlaid with red carpet. "Come down here now, sweetie! Your father and I want to have a talk with you!"
She stood there, waiting for what seemed like an eternity. Her golden orbs filled with hope that if she waited a little longer her son would come down. She slowly made a step forward to go up the stairs, but out of the corner of her eye she spotted a young blonde haired teen rush quickly down the stairs towards her in a blur.
"Your majesty…"he spoke, his voice full of concern "I'm afraid Rei has run away again…I just went up to his room to talk to him and he was nowhere to be found!"
"Oh my poor baby! That's the forth time he's done that this week, even as a child he repeatedly ran off" Queen Kon cried "It's times like this I wonder if I'm a good mother! Oh I hope he's alright and safe!"
"Relax your highness! I'm sure Rei's just fine…it's not your fault he keeps on running off, it's just like he once told me, he gets bored of staying in the castle and just wants to have some adventure" the blue eyed teen reassured her "Don't worry!"
"Oh Max, don't worry about me!" the chinese woman smiled "Would you mind looking for Rei for me? His father and I have some important matters to discuss with him…"
"No problem Queen Kon, I'll get Prince Rei back her before you know it!" Max grinned.
"Oh you're so sweet Max" Queen Kon nodded, as her smile broadened. "Thank you, now you take care now"
Max gave her a thumbs up sign for reassurance, "You got it!" he exclaimed, and went on his way.
