The imperial palace

King Xiao Shaolang Li POV

How did it come to be? How did this all happen? Why did my own flesh and blood betray us? In these times of war I never would of imagined that my country's most villaneous enemy would be none other then my oldest brother. As I heard my many advisors words of worry for the country I couldn't help but think of my brothers betrayal. We were 13 years apart in age and it was his duty as the eldest to take over the throne as ruler of China but unfortunately when he started committing crimes, sentencing innocent people to death or even massacre whole villages for his own twisted pleasures, our father banished him out of the empire to never return. As the second son I was made king when I came of age at 16. But now with reports from soldiers telling us that he's returned has everyone concerned including myself.

" Your majesty? " asked my general as he stood, " as you know from the reports your brother Xiao-hon has an army that is greater in number then ours I hate saying that the empire will be destroyed " he explains looking serious. I stand from my throne " yes I am aware " I answer as I was about to speak the doors to the throne room open, walking in is my one heir my only son Prince Syaoran Li. He walked towards myself and the counsel along with his 2 trusted associates Eriol and Takashi , as they approached the counsel they all stood and bowed to him " honourable Prince ". Staring at me " Father I come to ask if it's true what I've heard? " he asks me looking serious a look that he has always had since he was a child.

" Yes your highness it's true that your uncle is making his way to the empire " answered a counsel member nervously , " are we going to prepare ourselves father? " asks Syaoran, " yes I have already given orders to the general to have soldiers placed on all the borders to keep watch for what's to come " I explained before continuing " but I fear that it won't be enough my son " I add knowing our situation.

" Your majesty I understand our armies are great but from what we've learned it won't be enough just us " said Eriol, " father I'm ready to fight and protect my people and my country " Syaoran says proudly. I look tensely at my son and he knew all to well his duties as prince, from the time he was 4 he endured hard and intense training in martial arts and wielding the sword now 17 years old and he will use everything he's learned for this. " No matter what " he adds. " As I it's our duty " I reply sternly. " But also we know that we need to strengthen our armies so we can't do this alone " I explained taking a breath " in order for this we need aid from our long time Allie ".

The counsel knew all well what I was referring to, " it will help us in this time of war " said a member, " which Allie do you speak of majesty? " asks Yamazaki stepping forward, " the one my great great grandfather and his Majesty King of Japan descendants made many years ago in the times that both our countries were at war with one another and to put an end for that we can all live peacefully " I explained looking at my son before nodding to Wei my most trusted and oldest servant who was preparing himself to write.

" Here me now all those in this room as well as Syaoran Li prince of China if we are to ask for strength from our allies in this time then both houses of the royal family Li and the royal family Kinomoto are to be made one..." I announce before taking a breath while my next words were waited to be said.

The Castle Kinomoto

King of Japan Fujitaki Kinomoto sat on his throne while looking over the letter sent personally by the king of china soldiers and Wei along with a few counsel members. Once what the king of China had to say was written they were sent of immediately to Japan to speak to its king.

Along in the room were Fujitakis counsel along with his oldest and only son Prince Touya who sat by his fathers side with a more then less pleased expression about what was going on.

" Your majesty Fujitaki I sincerely appreciate that you may see us his highness was unable to come for he is preparing China for what's to come " Wei explains bowing, " I understand as king of my own country I would do the same for so long that I've been awaiting to hear from Xiao Shaolang Li " replies Fujitaki looking up from the letter. " Father please you can't ..." spoke Touya but one look from his father said it all " I understand the situation China is having, the times have been peaceful for so long and for a great enemy to come to destroy it all is unbearable " he explains before taking a deep breath.

" As said in writing both your ancestors made an alliance for if ever a great threat were to come to either sides that both shall come together to defeat the enemy but that there shall be a union of both houses...Prince of China Syaoran Li and the Princess of Japan your daughter Sakura Kinomoto are to be married as a way to signify the bond between both allies " Wei explained looking at Fujitaki as he stood, " your majesty are you considering? " asked the senior secretary, " majesty the princess is our country's joy and light she gives the people hope " said another followed by Prince Touya standing.

" Father surely there is another way to help China without sacrificing my imouto don't you hear us begging you " said Touya grabbing his fathers arm, " I hear you all my precious daughter is everything to me and all of us including her know that we have our duties and when our allies are asking for help to save there country we will aid them even if marriage is to signify our families union " said Fujitaka taking a breath, " Japan will fight side by China's side " he added only to get silence.
