Chapter I: I Hate Royalty
Red's P.O.V:
"Ugh… another day, another day ahead full of torture." I said, laying down on my bed. My servant, Green, a former samurai, stood next to me.
"You know, Master Red," he started. "You do have a meeting tomorrow at dawn." he said. My head shot up quickly in realization, and then hit the bed again hard as I groaned.
"Damn it…" I muttered under my breath. But, Green heard me anyway.
"Calm down, will you? I'm going to the marketplace really quick to pick up some things for tonight's dinner. Want to come?" he asked. I shrugged, getting up quickly.
As we were walking down the hall, I told Green to go on without me, since I needed to tell my sister I'm leaving. I knocked on the door. A girl with the same eyes and colored hair as me opened the door.
"Oh, hello, Red." Lyn said. I nodded. "I'm going to the marketplace with Green now. You need anything?" I asked. She shook her head.
"No, it's okay. Thank you for telling me, though. I'll inform mother. Just be careful, alright?" she said. I nodded, walking to where Green was standing.
"Finally done talking with Lady Lyn?" he asked. My blood red eyes gave him a glare, since I've always told him not to be so formal, but nodded and followed him outside.
Once we reached the marketplace, we bought a few ingredients for the dinner. As I was buying some vegetables, I heard a loud cry.
"A-ah! Come back here you little thieves!" an old woman cried, waving a wooden spoon in the air madly. Two dark figures ran quickly, and fled the scene. But before doing so, the older one bumped into a girl with a pale yellow hooded cloak.
"So sorry!" she called to the girl, and continued fleeing. I excused myself to the lady working at the stand, immediately running up to the girl who had just fallen. A shorter boy stood by her, with the same cloak but black with a black witch hat that had an small emerald at the tip of it. I held out a hand to her.
"You okay there, little miss?" I asked her. She saw my hand and kindly took it as I helped her up. Once she got up, she dusted herself and her pretty hazel eyes widened.
"O-oh! S-so sorry for the trouble! I-I didn't know you were the prince!" she apologized, bowing in apology. The black cloaked boy next to her did the same. Because of everyone's crowding, I told them to stand up.
"What is your name?" I asked. She nodded, removing her hood from the cloak to reveal her long, blonde hair that was tied neatly into a ponytail. Her figure now looked more beautiful that before, but it was a bit more fragile. She had a very kind smile on her pink lips as she introduced herself. And may I say, she was very… well, delicate.
"My name is Amarillo Kimidori Verde. But, you may call me Yellow." she replied, bowing politely this time instead of rushed. I nodded. I looked at the boy behind her. "Who's this?" I asked. She looked behind her and giggled silently to herself, looking at me again.
"Him? He's my little cousin, Emerald." she said. The boy nodded. I smiled. "Well, it was nice meeting you, Yellow, Emerald. I should be going now, but stay safe, alright?" I said. They both nodded and disappeared in the crowd. But before doing so, Yellow turned back to look at me.
"Wait! I-I didn't get your name yet!" she called to me. "It's Red!" I called back. She nodded and waved good-bye. I waved back, smiling. I walked back to the stand I was before and purchased my items, looking for Green afterwards. I spotted him, dealing with those two thieves from earlier near the end of the street. He was holding on to the younger one, while the girl who bumped into Yellow was pleading Green to let him go.
"Please! Can you please give me my brother back! I promise to return everything, I swear!" she pleaded. It looked like she was about to cry. Green refused to, holding onto the boy. He struggled in Green's grip.
"S-sis… just go…" he whispered.
"No! I'm not going without you, Silv!" she exclaimed. She punched Green to the ground (which I don't understand why she didn't do that in the first place) and took the boy's arm.
"Run!" she yelled, running away with no one to catch up to them. I sighed, walking over to Green. I kneeled down and held out a hand. "You need help?" I asked. He groaned and ignored my hand, getting up himself. I stood up and examined him. He had a small bruise from that punch he just received, but that was probably it. "C'mon, let's go home, I'm tired of this." Green muttered. I nodded, leading us both back to the palace castle. The knights opened the heavy steel gates and let us in. Once I entered the castle, my mother was standing near the doorway with worried eyes.
"Red!" she exclaimed. She came up to me and inspected me.
"I heard what happened at the marketplace. Are you okay? No cuts or bruises, right?" she asked worriedly. I nodded. "Of course, mother, I'm alright," I replied. I turned to Green. "But Green might need some help with that bruise of his." I said. My mother looked at Green and saw the bruise immediately, calling one of the maids to take him. "Please tend his bruise." she said. The maid nodded, taking Green to a nursery room. My mother lead me into the dining room, helping me put away the groceries I bought. Lyn also came by to help, and then told me to meet in her room.
"Why all of the sudden?" I asked.
"I'll tell you once you're done, okay?" she asked. I nodded as she walked back into her room. After I was done putting everything away, I walked over to Lyn's room. I knocked on the door.
"Come in!" she said. I opened the door, spotting Lyn sitting on her bed. She patted her hand on the spot next to her, so I sat down. "What was it you wanted to talk about?" I asked. Her expression turned worried.
"Um, mother has arranged a m….m…." she muttered the last words. "I can't hear you, speak louder." I said. She looked at me and then looked back at the floor. "Mother has arranged a marriage for you and the princess of the Sinnoh region." she said. I quickly stood up and looked at her.
"What?!" I exclaimed. A marriage… so soon?
"Why would she do that?! Without even telling me?" I asked. Lyn looked up at me.
"I tried stopping her, telling her to wait until you came back from the marketplace. But, she knew we were low on money, and the Sinnoh region is a very rich country… she agreed on arranging the marriage." Lyn explained. My anger decreased; I know she did everything she could to stop it. I knelt down and looked at her.
"Thanks for the the help, Lyn," I said. "But I guess there's nothing stopping it now, right?" I asked. She nodded. "I'm sorry." she said. I shook my head. "Don't be. You tried your best, and that's all I need to hear." I said, smiling. She smiled too and then nodded. I walked out of the room and went into mine, where I saw Green sitting on the bed.
"I overheard. So, you're getting married to Lady Berlitz, correct?" he asked. I looked at him blankly.
"Who's that?" I asked stupidly. He face palmed. "You're getting married, and you don't even know who it is?" he asked. I nodded. He sighed, pulling out a document and handing it to me.
"Lady Platinum Berlitz, the princess of the Sinnoh region. Born in October, and your new soon to be wife." Green explained. I threw the document in the air.
"What the hell!" I exclaimed, throwing myself on the bed. Green patted my back.
"It's okay. She's coming here in two days from today, though, so you should be at your best behavior." I looked up.
"Wait, that's four days before the ball, correct?" I asked. He nodded. "That's why I said to be at your best behavior," Green said, standing up and walking towards the door.
"Because after those few days, you're going to learn how to dance." he finished, closing the door behind him. I groaned and stared at the ceiling.
Why me?
Aw... poor Red... anyways! Hope you enjoyed it! R&R, okay? BYE.
