Clan-destined
Hello! This is Blackrabitt here ^_^. I'm so happy and excited to be writing my first. fanfiction. ever! Guys, please feel free to offer constructive criticism and ideas for me so that I can continue writing stories that you'll enjoy! After all, a writer's job is to bring joy to her reader right?
Well I'll stop rambling! Please leave a review or a comment for this very first chapter!
Summary:
She was a princess. Totally, and completely out of his reach. For he was a peasant. Someone who would never climb up that high. Everyone can see that distance between him and his Rapunzel is too wide. But can this all change? Will he be willing to fight? To make her break out of that shielded shell of hers? Will he be able to transform into a man worthy of her love? Most of all, will the world accept the secret love that they share?
Trapped in a dream, yet somehow I still feel the light
-the warmth
of a thousand bright stars
filling me with happiness
and bringing me joy…
will it last?
I often wonder about this
phenomenon of a vision
that I often encounter
in my dreams
alone.
"Your Majesty's laziness really fascinates me sometimes! How long are you planning on staying in your bed?!"
"Ugh, would you stop yelling already.. it's only seven in the morning!"
"NO! You have to get up and prepare for your majesty's matchmaking session today!" shouted an overly excited and anxious Tomoyo.
Tomoyo is my personal maid, but I don't like regarding her in that sense.. that she's below me you know? We've been best friends since childhood. Tomoyo has always been there for me - all throughout primary studies, secondary studies, and even now, during our last years of upper level scholarly masters. Archery is what Tomoyo excels in among the other excellent markings that she gets. She's even ranked 5th in our graduating echelon! Since we are so close, I'd rather like to drop the formalities and such when it's just us two but Tomoyo insists on calling me "Your Majesty" and "Princess" among other royal addresses. Although I may seem rude to her, it is only because we've been together since the beginning of time. I feel the most comfortable around Tomoyo. She's what makes my day the most interesting and fun.
"Are you serious?! I thought I told Touya that I didn't want to go to something as stupid as that!" I yelled as I sprung up from bed and hurried to brush my hair and wash my face at the same time.
Touya is my older brother, otherwise known as the dreamy and kind prince whom everyone in the kingdom is after. He can hide his true character so well. Oh believe me, Touya can be really mean sometimes. I bet he arranged this matchmaking session just to see me suffer.
"Ahh! I can never do this! I can't stand being a part of "The Royal Family!"" I exclaimed at my reflection in the mirror.
I always seem to channel my frustration to Tomoyo. She keeps that calm and smiling face wherever, whenever. Of course, I think it's because Tomoyo doesn't understand the pressure of being in "The Royal Family". But nevertheless, she still patiently listens to my rants.
I pull on my stockings and rush out my bedroom door.
"No wait! I have to do your hair Your Majesty!" cried Tomoyo, frantically trying to keep me from going out the door.
"And why are you addressing me in such a formal way when I clearly told you not to anymore?" I said without turning my head.
"Ok, ok Sakura" Tomoyo sighed "But can I still fix your hair? It's a complete and horrid mess! The king wouldn't want you to show up looking like that!" Tomoyo reasoned.
She's always so good at reasoning. One way or another Tomoyo can convince me so easily. Maybe that's why dad put her in charge of me, so that I would drop some of my stubbornness. Dad thinks he does things so nonchalantly, but I can see through it all. Unlike Touya, He's so obvious and absolutely the worst at hiding things.
Sighing as I sat down on the bed, Tomoyo calmed my hair in a matter of seconds. This girl can transform anything with her hands. I often wonder why she didn't take the position of master designer in the palace that Dad once offered her.
"Oh Sakura! I just love dolling you up! The dress that I made for your matchmaking will go PERFECTLY with this hairdo.
She takes out a catalog that she has created and show me.
"Tomoyo, you know you never cease to amaze me.. " I whispered as I pored through the fancy catalog of hair styles and accessories.
"Your Majesty! Breakfast has been served for quite a while now! Would you be joining us anytime soon?" taunted Touya from the dining room.
There he goes again. Touya, so annoying. At least he didn't call me a monster today. I shall surprise him with my appearance.
"Tomoyo, do I look fine?"
"Sakura you look gorgeous!"
"Well then got to go and eat before Touya teases me again!"
We bounded down the stairs and into the living room. Out of breath, I turn the corner and my eyes met a pair of clear Amber eyes.
