Ritsu's POV

Today is going to be a busy day. My parents, the king and queen of the Divine Kingdom, Onodera Atushi and Kiyomi decided that it was time for me to meet their good friends, meaning the royal family of the Diamond Kingdom, Takano Hikaru and Mizuki. They are the rulers of the Diamond Kingdom and have one son, who is the crown prince, so his family is pretty much like mines, a single child family. Apparently, my parents want me to befriend the crown prince of the Diamond Kingdom, but they won't tell what his name is... *Sigh*... They also are bringing the crown prince's fiancé with them, so in order for it to be fair, my fiancé, An-chan is also going to attend the gathering with the Diamond's royal family.

So many things to think about today… What am I suppose to do to make a good impression to this crown prince and what am I suppose to say. Ugh… Well, I am just going to have to wait until tomorrow to figure out what I am gonna do and say. Now with the preparations.

~ The Next Day~

Third POV

Today was the appointed day for the Diamond's royal family to arrive. The Onoderas and the maids finished all the preparations, the planning and cleaning. From the throne room to the kitchen to the library to the rooms, everything was sparkly clean, really sparkly, to the point if you look at the floor of the hallways and rooms, you could see your reflections clearly. New flowers were put into vases, tablecloths changed, books put away, beds folded, and rooms are spick and span. Everything was perfect. Ritsu, An-chan, the king, and queen were waiting by the entrance of the castle, where the Diamond's royal family will be dropped off. Finally, they spot a carriage coming towards the entrance. Once the carriage came to a stop, the royals exited the carriage one by one. A young lady, with long, black hair that went to her waist line and large, gentle, lavender eyes stepped out of the carriage, probably the fiancé. Next was young man with black hair and brown eyes, which displayed boredom. He was probably the crown prince. The crown prince, helped the lady coming out of the carriage, probably the queen. She had long, black hair that went down to her waist. She also had brown eyes, which beamed with excitement. Lastly, A man, who likely to be the king, stepped out. He had black hair and brown eyes, which also had gleams of excitement. The moment the kings and queens of both kingdoms saw each other, there were loud greetings and many tight hugs.

"Mizuki, it has been far too long!"

"How many years has it been since we last saw each other, Kiyomi?"

"I believe it has been about six years."

With the kings:

"Hikaru, good to see you."

"You too, Atushi."

The kings and queens kept on exchanging greetings, while the crown princes and their fiancés stood awkwardly by the side, not saying a single word or even having eye contact.

Finally, King Atushi said, "Kiyomi, Hikaru, Mizuki, lets go to the garden and chat. While we chat, our children can get to know each other. Come one, lets go."

~ At the Garden~

"Ritsu, why don't you take everyone to the place by the river with the cherry blossoms, after all it is that time of the year for the cherry blossoms to bloom. I will send a maid to bring the tea and the snacks."

"Of course mother."

~ Cherry Blossoms~

Only silence could be heard between the four. Nobody uttered a single word. Ritsu finally decided to say something.

"Hello, welcome to the Divine Kingdom. My name is Onodera Ritsu and this is my fiancé, Kohinata An."

An-chan said, "It is a pleasure to meet you."

The crown prince replied, "My name is Takano Masamune and this is my fiancé, Saito Kaori."

Kaori replied, " It is nice to meet you, Onodera-san and Kohinata-san."

After the greetings, nothing was said again, till the maid arrived with the tea and snacks.

"Ritsu-sama, here is the tea and snacks the queen asked to me to bring."

"Thank you. Please set it on the table here."

"Of course. Is there anything else you need?"

"Nothing. You may leave."

"Of course."

Once again the silence has enveloped the foursome. The only sounds heard were the sipping of tea and the chewing of the snacks.

Finally, An-chan asked, "Saito-san, would you like to take a walk, so that we may get to know each other?"

"Of course, that sounds lovely."

After the two left, there was still complete silence between Ritsu and Takano. No one spoke a single word.

Takano' POV

Ugh. I cant believe my parents made me come with them to the Divine Kingdom. They wanted me to meet Onodera Ritsu. What was the point of meeting him? Looking at him reminds of the Oda Ritsu. The same glossy brown hair color and shining, emerald eyes that not even the most beautiful diamond can compare with. No, no, no. I can't be thinking about him. It only makes me even more upset and long for him again. Maybe I should start a conversation with this guy.

"Hey."

"Huh?"

"Umm… how old are you?"

"25, why?

"I'm 28. No reason, just trying to start a conversation."

"Okay…"

"Uhh... Were you homeschooled or did your parents let you go to a school?"

"My parents sent me to a boarding school."

"Oh... Then, what is the name of the boarding school?"

"Gekkouchi Boarding School." (I just made this up. I don't even know if this is real)

He went to the same boarding school as me. Weird…

"Me too. My parents also sent me to Gekkouchi Boarding School, but under a different surname of course.

"Yeah, me too. I used a different surname."

Looking towards the cherry blossoms, I spotted Kohinata-san and Kaori.

Finally the girls are back! Maybe it will make everything less awkward.

"Oh look, the girls are back from their walk."

Third POV

"Hey! Kaori-chan and I are back from our walk. It was so much fun. Right?"

"Of course, An-chan! I normally don't have many lady friends to talk to. It was enjoyable to be able to find someone like you to talk too."

"Same here!"

"You ladies certainly bonded quickly."

"Of course, Ricchan! What about you and Takano-san, here? Did you gentlemen even talk at all while we were away?"

"Kind of. Probably, not as much as you and Saito-san did."

After a little more time, the kings and queens called for them and said they should hurry and get changed for the party.

Well that's the first chapter. I hoped you loved it. Tell me anything I need to improve, liked, or want to add into the story. Review please. Thank you for reading! Bye!
