Chapter One: Time to Search for Mr. Right!


The councilors were all speaking at once then all of a sudden, the king shouted "Silence!" then they all stopped and one of them said, "Your Majesty, we have come to a decision" and the Queen said, "You may speak of your decision" and the man continued "Since, princess Karin is turning 18 next week, then to the traditional customs, it is time for the princess to search for her husband" so Karin got angry, stood and said, "I do not!' so the queen stopped her "Karin" but Karin continued "Oka-sama, this is outrageous! Where am I going to find a husband when no princes are worth looking?" but the king ignored her and said, "Then it is decided" then Karin could object no longer and went to her room.

In the Streets

"Bread! Get the most delicious here!" shouted a bread selling guy.

Kazune was behind the bread seller, stealing his purse.

Just then the seller turned to him and pulled his arm and shouted "Thief!" so Kazune tried to run but the seller pulled him more and Kazune got serious and kicked him hard on the stomach and ran away without the purse.

Then he stopped somewhere and said, "Damn! That was close" and continued to ran for the guards are already coming after him.

In the Palace

Princess Karin was sitting in front of the mirrors, still angry about the decision in the throne room.

Then the queen came in and said, "Karin? Are you here?" but Karin didn't answer but the queen saw her and came in.

The queen took the brush on the table, untie Karin's pigtails and start to brush her hair.

Then she said, "Karin, I know what you are thinking" then Karin started to listen and the queen continued "But you must know your duties as a princess".

When she heard this she felt a bit of guilt but didn't say anything and just hangs her head down.

Then the queen noticed it so she hugged her from the back and said, "It's alright, you know you can choose your husband, prince or commoner" and then Karin heard this she became cheerful again and said, "Really?" and the queen nodded so Karin started to jump around and said, "Then, I choose commoner!" and the queen gave her a questioning look "Why?" so Karin stopped jumping "Because I have met the princes you know and they're not really good looking" and the queen laughed when she heard this and said, 'What about prince Micchi?" then Karin frown "Looks like an old man" and the queen laughed and continued "What about prince Jin?" and Karin gave a scared look "I'll die before I marry him" this time the queen took Karin's hands "Why?" and Karin said, 'He's such a show-off and you know what I think about like those guys and he suck up a lot on me and you know that, and I know you don't really like him" then the queen turned away "I guess, I'll prove on the commoner" and Karin jumped and kissed the queen "Thank you, oka-sama" then the queen remembered and said, "But how will you choose him?" so Karin trilled around dreamily and said, "I'll room around the city with my chariot and without warning, I will tell the guards to bring my Mr. Right to the palace, but don't announce anything of my coming and the Mr. Right thing" so the queen was amused "then you will do this without the people knowing?".

Then Karin came and sit beside her and said, "Of coarse, if not, you know the people, they will start to dress up and stuff" so the queen laughed, stood up and said, "So then, I will arrange like any chariot ride we used to do, is that ok?" and Karin cheerfully nodded.
