Royal RWBY

Chapter 2

Princess Problems

"No! I will not do such a thing father!" Weiss yelled as she stormed out the throne room while her father sits on the throne yelling back at her.

"Princess Weiss Schnee! You come back here this instant I am not done talking to you." Weiss ignores him as she continues down the hall while muttering to herself.

"how dare he tell me to do that. I've been his perfect little princess since the day I was born. I will not have an arranged marriage like he wants I rather find true love, not some idiot nobleman. I wonder if Ruby and Yang have the same problem with their father" She continues walking down the halls of castle Schnee when she reaches an open area on the left side of the castle. In this area is a couple of practice dummies and off to the side are some rapiers sheathed on a weapon rack. "This is what I need in order to calm down." She picks up a rapier and begins cutting and stabbing one of the dummies while yelling. Meanwhile, at a noble estate not too far from castle Schnee, Neptune stands out on the balcony enjoying the nice weather. His enjoyment is interrupted when Sage walks up to him and asks.

"Sir Neptune are you going to waste your entire day out here on the balcony? "

"Maybe, I feel like doing nothing today," He responds while not looking at Sage.

"Is there nothing you want to do? Anything I can convince you to do sir? "

"Actually, something just crossed my mind Sage, I haven't seen the princess in a while why don't we pay her a visit? "

"splendid idea sir Neptune but you should put on something more formal if you want to visit the princess."

"I guess so and you to sage you're coming with me." Neptune said as stood up and stretched.

"I beg your pardon sir, but why should I come with you?"

"Well the last time I spent time with the princess I may have said something she didn't like and she may have kicked me in a most unpleasant place." Sage chuckles then say.

"All right I'll come and make sure you don't get yourself killed by the princess." After changing their clothes the two meet up at the entrance to Neptune's home and then they go to castle Schnee where they find Weiss still attacking the practice dummy.

"Princess Schnee It's been quite some time, how are you doing today?" Neptune asks as he and sage bow to her.

"What do you want Neptune," She says as she does one final thrust into the practice dummy.

"I figured you should see someone as cool as me today," he says as he smiles and flashes his shiny teeth at her.

"If you came here just to flirt with me then you should just leave, I'm in no mood for any of your stupidity." She pulls the rapier out of the dummy and walks towards the weapon rack.

"Okay, you're not in a good mood maybe I can help you feel better what do you say?" Neptune asks looking a little nervous.

"Fine you can help me." She grabs the second rapier and throws it to Neptune. "Here, help me de-stress by sparing with me."

"This isn't exactly what I had in mind but okay." after agreeing to spar Weiss gets into her fighting stance while Neptune struggles to find a proper stance, then he mirrors Weiss's stance poorly. He then looks at her and gives Weiss an unsure nod to let her know they can start the match. Without hesitation Weiss lunges and thrusts at Neptune who barely deflected her blade with his, he steps back then cuts her left shoulder but Weiss blocks it and pins it down to the ground, she then rams her shoulder into Neptune's chest causing him to stumble back placing his hand over where she hit him. Neptune brings up his guard as Weiss rushes him and, this time, faking a thrust which Neptune falls for then she knocks the rapier out of Neptune's hand. She steps back and thrusts one final time at Neptune only to be stopped by Sage grabbing the blade and stopping Weiss's attack.

"That's enough princess," Sage says to Weiss while Neptune breaths a sigh of relief.

"Thanks, Neptune that actually did help me calm down," Weiss says lowering her rapier.

"No problem princess, if I may ask what's got you so worked up today?" Neptune asks.

"My father wants to put me in an arranged marriage with some idiot nobleman and when he told me I yelled at him and stormed out of the throne room," Weiss says as she walks over to the weapon rack and puts the rapier back on the rack.

"Oh, well good for you disagreeing with your father," Neptune remarks as he puts the rapier back on the weapon rack.

"Wait what?" Weiss responds incredibly confused by Neptune's remark.

"You're making your own choices that what's important here, you're going to be queen one day so you need to make decisions for yourself. This is just a step towards that day." Neptune says as the two walk towards the exit of the training room with Sage following behind them.

"Well you're not wrong about that, maybe you aren't as much of an idiot as I thought you were," She says to Neptune smiling at him.

"Thank you, princess, now how about we do what I had in mind to calm you down."

"And what would that be Neptune?"

"I say the two of us go into town and spend the day together doing anything you like to do. "

"I say that's exactly what we should do Neptune." Weiss once again smiling at Neptune's idea. "Just give me a moment to freshen up and then we can go." She walks off not even waiting for Neptune's response.

"Sage you can go home I can handle the princess by myself."

"Are you sure Neptune she would have impaled you if I hadn't stepped in just now." Sage protested.

"I'll be fine she calmed down now, so she won't kill me now. "

"But Sir I still fe-."

"Sage It's alright I'll be fine now please go home you don't have to worry about me for the rest of the day," Neptune says Sage.

"As you wish sir I will return home, but please if anything goes wrong do not hesitate to call me." Sage replies then leaves.

"He worries too much, but then again I guess I'm the reason he worries so much." Neptune says to himself, then he feels a tap on his shoulder he turns and sees Weiss standing there all ready to go.

"Where did your bodyguard go, did you send him home?" Weiss asks.

"Yes, I only had him come with me because I was afraid you might hurt me like the last time we met. "

"Oh right I remember, you definitely deserved it, Neptune."

"Thanks for that princess, now let's get going." The two leave the castle and spend the day going shopping, seeing a play called Dead Fantasy, and ending the day with a horse carriage through the park.

"You know Neptune today was actually a really good day, thanks for taking me out. "

"No problem princess even though my wallet is screaming at me it was a great day for me too. Princess if I may ask who was this idiot nobleman that your father wanted you to marry?"

"Neptune you don't have to call me princess you can call me Weiss, and you don't need to worry about who it is."

"Weiss are you sure I can talk to this guy and tell him to leave you alone."

"Neptune it's fine, I'm happy knowing you would do that for me but I need to fight my own battles and I told you that you don't have to worry about that idiot. "

"Well you're the princess but there's nothing wrong with a little help right? "

"All right if I need help with this idiot, then I will ask you for help. Now can we talk about something else or take me home my father is probably wondering where I am right now."

"I guess this is the end of our time for today give me a second and I'll talk to the guy leading the horses and see if he'll take us back." Neptune starts to talk with the guy for a moment and then turns his attention back to Weiss. "All right he'll take us back to the castle and then we'll say our goodbyes. "

"Thank you, Neptune." After some time the horse carriage arrives in front of the castle first Neptune gets out then he puts his hand out and Weiss takes it as she gets out of the horse carriage.

"Neptune thank you for making my day better and I'm sorry for almost killing you earlier today. "

"Don't worry about it Weiss. It was my pleasure to make you feel better. I hope we can see each other again sometime soon Weiss but if not I'll see you at the Vytal festival."

"Goodnight Neptune have a safe trip back to your home." Neptune then gets back in the horse carriage and Weiss starts to walk into the castle thinking to herself "I'm not about to agree with father but out of all the noblemen he is the only one who seems to be human and not some pompous noble, and he seems to care about me and not my heritage."
