"Great!" the princess exclaimed as she clapped her hands together and rose from her seat. "I'll make the arrangements." She stood and, with a whoosh of the royal gowns, quickly headed back to the castle. The princess' bodyguard had to run to keep up with her.
Ryu leaned back in the chair with a thoughtful expression.
Nina had come to ask him to help her 'find a husband for Momo', as she had put it. The Wyndian princess had decided that Momo shouldn't live in the tower by herself anymore, and should start looking for a husband. Further, Nina had also decided that Ryu would be perfect for the young engineer to 'practice' with, since Momo was comfortable around him from their travels together.
"You could help her become used to courtship, so she will be more comfortable around potential suitors," Nina had explained.
In the end, Ryu had agreed, even though he still didn't understand the concepts involved. Dating? Suitors? He finally stopped trying to understand and decided that if he could help Momo and make the princess happy, he would help any way he could.
