A young princess named Sakura swept throughout the castle full of rage. She could not believe what her parents had done.
~Previous Night~
"Mother, I have already fallen in love with Prince Eriol, and was about to confess my feelings to him! How could you arrange me into a marriage with a prince from the Li Clan! You know how much the Li Clan has spoiled Tomoeda's fame! We cannot reside on marriage to fix Japan's economy, and Eriol can help, too!" Sakura, the 17 year old stomped around the grand dining room.
"Sakura Nadeshiko Kinomoto! You do not speak this way to me, your mother, and your queen!" Queen Nadeshiko new Sakura hated it when she was forced to refer to her own mother as the queen.
"Mom, Eriol can also help our kingdom." Sakura's emerald eyes softened. Her mother came over to her and kissed her short auburn hair.
"My dearest cherry blossom; Fujitaka has been away ever so long in war with Eriol's country, which is why we cannot allow any crosses between you two, and besides, you've only met him once, at that dinner party for all royalty in Asia."
"Mom's right, Sakura-Chan." Sakura's sister, Tomoyo said.
"Because Tomoyo has given up her royalty to Sakura, I won't allow anyone but her to marry into the Hiragizawa family, which is final. You will marry Prince Syaoran Li." Tomoyo was the oldest daughter, so she would've rightfully had the crown, but it was decided by Tomoyo that Sakura should be the princess of the kingdom.
"Yes, mother." Tomoyo grabbed Sakura's hand and they both scurried to their rooms. Nadeshiko wasn't the real mother of Tomoyo; obviously because Tomoyo had beautiful violet eyes and dark black hair, while Nadeshiko and the rest of the Kinomotos had different appearances.
Sakura looked through the books on her shelf. She remembered she was to meet Prince Li tomorrow. His family was one of the richest in all of Asia; they were the oldest clan ever, and they resided in Hong Kong.
"It's quite sweet," Tomoyo said softly, bringing a box of tissues to Sakura, who was sobbing a bit, "…That the Li Clan has come all the way to Tomoeda, Japan, to meet the new richest princess.
"I guess so…Do you think this Syaoran dude would be nice?"
"Hiragizawa-San told me that Li-Kun has a liking in you."
"How is this possible? I've never met him!"
"Untrue, before the disastrous war between the Hiragizawas and the Kinomotos/Daidoujis, (Tomoyo's real last name) even before the war where Touya-Kun and Fujitaka-Sama were sent to fight, we met the Li-Clan at our elementary school.
….
"It's been a while sense I've seen Princess Sakura." An 18 year old boy with purposefully messy chocolate hair and big amber eyes smiled as he washed his hands in the bathroom.
"Yes, it has Xiao Lang. Do you even remember her?" His mother, Queen Yelan said.
"Well, it has been about six years, but I still remember those brilliant emerald eyes, the short auburn hair, and the sweet disposition. I may have only met her once but it was love at first site. Do you think she remembers me?"
"Probably a no, word has it she was in love with your friend Eriol. You have to make that change." Syaoran's sister, Fanren exclaimed.
"Our sister is right; it's possibly a good option to snuggle with her feelings." Syaoran's other sister Fanmei smiled.
"I'll do my best." Syaoran got under his covers and smiled, then drifted off to sleep.
