Hey everyone, I know It's another medieval type of fanfic, but I think they are cute and I have actually been writing this for a long time but I did not want to post it on ff.net yet because I wasn't able to write for a while, but this week is my spring break so apart from trips to the beach and hanging with friends I should be able to write, plus it's raining today so my beach plans were canceled, so I decided to edit my chapters I already have and possible post one or two for now.
Once upon a time (sorry I've always wanted to start a story like that) in a land far far away (ok, I couldn't resist) lived two kingdoms constantly at war. A king and queen ruled each Kingdom.
Chikiyu was the kingdom to the East. On the throne were Gohan and his wife Videl. They had one daughter named Pan who was the crowned Princess. Gohan also had a younger brother named Goten who was the closest male relative to the King and therefore the heir to the throne.
Vegetasei is the Kingdom to the west and on the throne are Vegeta and his queen Bulma. They have two children, the eldest is Trunks the prince and heir to the throne. The youngest is Bra, the princess.
To the north is a small Kingdom known as Frieden. Vegetasei and Chikiyu constantly fought over possession of Frieden until they claimed independence. It is now a neutral territory where war is illegal and people live out their lives in peace. Occasionally one of they royal families will visit for vacation, a way to escape daily stress and problems.
Chikiyu and Vegetasei have constantly been feuding over no particular reason except that the rulers of both lands were stubborn and easily held grudges. Videl and Bulma were both against the war; in fact before Bulma was married she lived in Chikiyu. Under influence from their Queens Vegeta and Gohan were forced to find some sort of arrangement to ensure peace between the two nations. Because all former arrangements of gifts, and contracts (which were all broken) failed to ensure lasting peace they had to find some way to ensure that neither country would actually want to attack the other.
Another constant problem was the fact that both countries still argued over who owned Frieden. They had to find someone to rule and hold the throne there. The only link they could find to solve their feud luckily also solved their boundary dispute.
It was marriage.
-Chapter 1-
"This is so unfair, why do I have to be married? Why couldn't they choose you?" Pan was in a horse drawn carriage with her Uncle Goten on their way to Vegetasei.
"Well, I think your father said something about both families giving up a child, not one family giving up a child and the other a brother, besides I think their other daughter has her father wrapped around her finger and convinced him that she wouldn't marry yet." (Sounds like Bra huh?)
"Well I still don't think this is fair, I've never met him before and I already have to get married to him? Where's the fairness in that?"
"Well you're not getting married right away, in fact you're just going there to meet Prince Trunks"
"Just because I'm forced into this doesn't mean I have to like it"
"Pan! You're father told you to behave and you should, that means no more sneaking out, and being disrespectful"
Goten looked over at Pan and saw she had her arms crossed in defiance and was staring out the window with her mouth closed and an upset look upon her face. The rest of the carriage ride was made in silence until they reached the border of Vegetasei.
Pan watched as several men loaded her bags and suitcases onto a separate carriage.
"Tell me again why you can't at least go to the palace with me?" she asked, a bit uncomfortable at the thought of traveling such a large distance alone.
"Well, if you don't remember your father explaining all of this before we left I suppose I have to. Chikiyu and Vegetasei are still on rather shaky terms. And you know civilians can't pass through the borders right?"
"Yes, but you're not a civilian! You're the crowned Prince, that has to give you some sort of diplomatic immunity to those laws!"
"Well, my brother wants at least one of us in Chikiyu to rule things there and I have to get back to the palace. You know your Mother and Father are going to Frieden today. So are the King and Queen of Vegetasei. I have to get back to the palace so someone can sit on the throne while they are gone."
"I suppose you're right. Don't worry about telling me how to act there, Mother and Father already went over all the rules. Just know that I am only doing this so no more people have to die in these stupid fights. I am in no way looking forward to this. I don't even know the guy Uncle. I don't know what he looks like, or what he acts like. Geez, I don't even know if he's a blood thirst murderer. For all I know this could be a set up and as soon as I get there he will kill me or something because he also doesn't want to get married."
"Panny, calm down. Quit being so paranoid. You will go there and be on your best of behaviors. They have a daughter your age so you can always talk to her, or even one of the guards or servants if you get lonely."
"But Uncle, this is Vegetasei. How do I know that they don't all hate us? We're the royal family of their sworn enemies! How do I know that I will be safe?"
Goten sighed and helped her into the other carriage, carefully shutting the door and looking at her through the opening.
"You will be safe and they won't hate you. Think of them as normal people, like the villagers here. Everyone wants this war to end Pan, and if respecting you and encouraging this marriage is the way to end it than they will. You are forgetting that normal people aren't like the kings. Normal people won't hold grudges for so long and then completely stop trusting each other. People from Vegetasei have friends, and Family in Chikiyu who I am sure they want to see as much as the people here want to see them. Go Pan, and end this terrible war. We have all put our faith in you."
Goten leaned away from the carriage and watched as it began to move and disappear behind the wall that separated the borders.
Inside the carriage Princess Pan leaned back in the velvety cushions of the carriage and fell deep in thought.
'Why do you put your faith in me? I'm just a normal person too. Why do I have to have all the responsibilities?"
