The Princess Of Swords

Chapter 1

"You wanted to speak with me Sakura?"

A tall man with brown hair asked. He is Fujitaka, king of the Kinomoto kingdom.

"Yes father."

A ten-year-old girl answered. She has auburn hair, her face shows no innocence, but portrays the people she has killed. It shows determination.

"What about Sakura?" He asked.

"Father, I would like to claim a title."

"You are a princess Sakura, nothing is going to change that."

"I deducted that you would say as much father."

"Then why did you bother to ask me?"

"Because I know that I'm a princess, I do not want to lose that title. I would merely like to add to it."

"Oh? And what exactly did you have in mind?"

"I wish to claim the title 'princess of swords'."

Fujitaka was shocked to say the least.

"Sakura, holding that title will bring even more danger to this kingdom. Even more danger to you of course."

"I know father."

"Do you think you can handle the consequences? Can you defeat every swords man or lady that wishes to challenge you?"

"I believe that I can father."

"Then the title is yours. If anyone defeats you, but does not kill you, then the title is no longer yours."

"I understand father."

"We shall hold a celebration in the dining hall tonight. But now you must leave, I have much to discuss about the war with my advisors."

Sakura doesn't have a very good relationship with her father. He blames her for his wife's death (Sakura's mother) but he doesn't have the heart to have Sakura killed or mistreat her, out of respect for Nadeshiko.

Sakura left the 'advisory' room feeling elated. She was a master swords woman. Best in the land (or so she thinks at the moment). She is only ten years old and she holds a title already, she thinks that she's the youngest to hold a title.

A:n/ The first chapter is really short just as an introduction to the story lol but next will be up soon!
