All For the One Thing Money Can't Buy
Prologue
A young woman sat next to her bedroom window. Her hair was the color of the dark night and her eyes were emerald green. She was expecting a child soon, a girl. She fingered the piece of embroidery she was embroidering.
"Mommy?" asked a 7-year-old boy as he ran into the room. "I finally decided if I wanted a brother or a sister." "And what did you choose?" asked the woman giggling. "A sister because then there will be two girls in the family and two guys in the family," said the boy smiling. "Well you'll need to protect your sister so she won't get hurt," said the woman. "I will." answered the boy solemnly, "I'll be the only one who's able to tease her and get away with it. When will she be here?" "Soon, dear, soon," said the woman as she patted her stomach. Then she lifted her hand and tousled the boy's black hair affectionately. His sapphire blue eyes questioned his mother. But he left her in peace. "I want my daughter to have skin of the palest peach and hair of golden honey, with eyes of the purest emerald green," whispered the woman as she looked out the window. "She'll be innocent, carefree, understanding, and naïve, just like cherry blossoms.Sakura."

A few months later at the palace, the palace was celebrating. "The Prince has officially turned one years old!" the nurse yelled joyously. "My son is growing up," said the King. "Not quite, he's just turned one!" said the Queen laughing. "I'm just saying what I would say about 5 years from now," said the King chuckling. The Queen giggled and held her baby protectively and cooed. The baby laughed and clenched onto her finger tightly. He had a small tuft of messy chocolate brown hair and his intense amber eyes shone with certain knowledge, unusual for a one year old. "He looks just like you," said the Queen smiling. "I suppose that's a good thing," mused the King as the Queen hit his arm playfully. "Ow!" exclaimed the Queen. "For a little one, you will grow up to be a strong and mighty ruler my little wolf.Xiao Lang."
