"Princess Amu, it is time for your piano lessons." The pink headed girl stood, her black and red dress flowing from her chest to her feet.

"Okay. I'll be there in a minuet." and with that, the nameless servant bowed and left her room. Amu walked over to her full length mirror.

"I hate piano..." She muttered looking at her reflection. "Mother and Father were stupid to even think that I would enjoy it." She stared into her golden eyes. She saw the sadness inside them, and the longing to be free. "I am 13 years old! I should at least be able to decided what I will and will not do!" She said pompously. Her stubborn side getting the best of her. She stuck her nose up at her mirror and walked to the other side of her pink and black room. "I am not going to lessons and thats final!" So she plopped herself down on her bed and picked up a magazine and began to read.

Princess Amu Hinamori. Daughter to King and Queen Hinamori. One of the most highest families in the kingdom. Amu was to be the future Queen and rule this land with her faithful King, but, Amu doesn't want this. She wants to be free and do things her own way. She doesn't want to rule the kingdom, but live in it. Make friends and live a normal life, but she knew that was something, she could never hope to dream of. She was a dog forever trapped in this cage she called home.

A while after her lessons had been long over, she heard a knock at her door. She put down her magazine and sat up, straightening her dress from wrinkles. "Enter." She said.
In walked one of the few servants that she could remember the name of. The cook Nagihiko. He had long flowing purple hair and big beautiful eyes. He truly was beautiful and was a sweet and caring person.

"Princess, the King has requested that you go to the dining hall at once. They have something to discuss with you." His voice was a little shaky. Amu couldn't blame him. She was also known for her bossy attitude and cool aura.

"Very well." She sighed and stood up. As she passed the purple haired boy she stopped, and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Thank you for all the good work you do, Nagihiko." and left. He stood there, shocked, but soon found himself smiling.

"No, thank you." He whispered and watched her walk down the dark hallway.

The dining room in the castle was a important place. They rarely ever used it except for family meals or important business meetings. It wasn't a holiday so Amu wondered what in the world could her father want with her.

Once she entered she saw her father seated at the head of the table. Her mother seated to his right. "You requested me." She said in a monotone voice.

"Sit." He said, gesturing at a seat to his left. She walked over and placed herself in it and look at the King. "Your mother and I, think its time for you to get married. If you are to be Queen one day, you cannot rule without a King." Amu stared at them.

"Married? Okay got it. I'll be going now." She stood up to leave.

"I'm not finished yet." She sighed and sat back down.

"We have chosen the perfect groom for you. His name is Tadase Hatori. He is the prince of the kingdom next to ours and is a dashingly handsome young man the same age as you." Her mother said.

"Are you kidding me?" Amu screeched. "I am not going to be married to a man that I don't even know."

"But darling, we only want whats best for you." The Queen said.

"No, Love isn't something that you take that lightly. You and father weren't forced into a planned marriage...were you?" Her parents nodded. "But what if I don't like this man."

"Its not about whether you like him or not, it is about you becoming a successful Queen. And since we are King and Queen and more importantly your parents we order that you will meet this boy whether you like it or not!" Her father roared.

She flinched. But then smirked. "Whatever." She said, and walked off.
