Rin's POV
It was a perfect day. The sun was out and the grass looked brighter than ever. I smiled, looking out the large glass widow. It was only a matter of time before I would see the prince of the Blue Country riding across those green hills toward my palace. Tightly clutching the last letter he had written in response to mine, I eagerly stood on my toes in order to get a better look. After about five more minutes, I gave up and started walking toward my throne room, sighing impatiently. When I arrived, I unfolded the letter. He had written back a few days after I had replied to him. Sitting down on my throne and arranging my gown nicely, I began to re-read the letter.
Dear Queen Rin Kagamine of the Yellow Country,
I was thrilled when your response arrived to me, and I would be honored if you would have me as a guest in your palace. Is the twelfth of June a convenient date for you? I would like to have our partnership arranged as soon as possible, but if not, I would be pleased if you would let me know a more suitable date. I look forward to meeting you and visiting your lovely country. – Sincerely, Prince Kaito Shion of the Blue Country
My head snapped up as I heard Len opening the doors. Behind him was an unfamiliar man with blue hair, wearing a white suit.
Len cleared his throat and announced, "may I present Prince Kaito Shion of the Blue Country."
I almost let out a gasp of excitement, but managed to restrain myself. The prince smiled and bowed.
"Queen Rin. How lovely to finally meet you," he greeted me, his sapphire eyes shining.
I stood up and curtsied, replying, "the pleasure is mine, Prince Kaito. I have been eagerly awaiting your arrival. Now that you are here, shall I have my servant bring us tea?"
Len nodded and answered, "yes, my lady," starting to walk toward the door.
"No, that won't be necessary," Kaito interrupted kindly.
Len turned around, narrowed his eyes, and said stiffly, "I obey the Queen's orders and nobody else's. If she wants me to make you a cup of tea, I'll do it, regardless of whether you drink it or not." With that, he left, with Kaito calling an apology after him. Kaito turned to me and asked, "do you think he heard me? I apologize for my behavior; I was simply trying to decrease the amount of work for him."
Surprised, I answered, trying to sound nonchalant, "Len is most loyal to me. If I asked him to, he would do anything, anything at all. There's no need to apologize, honestly."
He smiled at me, and I felt butterflies form in my stomach. I instantly loved his smile, and the way his royal blue hair fell in his eyes. I hoped I looked alright. I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.
Len returned with our tea moments later, and he led us to another room to discuss our agreement and drink our tea. Immediately I recognized Kaito's dislike for the orange pekoe and realized he was only drinking it to be polite. I called, "Len, I'd like you to bring a cup of tea of the Prince's liking."
Len turned to Kaito expectantly. Knowing it would be no use to protest, Kaito told him, "I'd like green tea, please," and Len left the two of us alone again.
"Now, shall we get to work?"
We spoke of our trade agreement for only about twenty minutes. It was rather tedious, but I enjoyed every second of looking at him and listening to him. After settling the agreement, we proceeded telling and asking each other about ourselves and our countries.
"is it true you're only fourteen years old?" Kaito asked.
"Yes, it is. And you have recently turned eighteen, if my sources are correct?"
He replied, "yes I have." He hesitated for a moment, but continued, "forgive me for changing the subject so abruptly, but what state is your country in economically?"
I giggled and replied, "you are forgiven, but please don't worry about our economy. We are doing just fine, why do you ask?"
He frowned and replied, "I couldn't help noticingthat the citizens looked…well, a bit undernourished. Most were looking sad, worried, or angry as well. Are you sure you are not in need of assistance?"
Slightly annoyed, I told him, "I assure you, the Yellow Country is perfectly capable of sustaining itself."
Perhaps noticing my annoyance, he replied, "yes, of course. I'm sorry, I was merely being curious."
I nodded understandingly, and he stood up and said, "I must return to my country at once! But I will write, we'll get the details of our agreement worked out, and I think our countries will be good friends."
I struggled to hold back a wide grin and replied, "of course. My servant will see you to the doors."
Once we were outside, he mounted his white horse, waving, and called, "I hope to hear from you soon, Queen Rin!"
I daintily waved back and replied, "you certainly will! Until we meet again!"
Len stepped up beside me and said, excuse me my lady, it's snack time."
DONG!
"Told you," he smirked, "I'll be back shortly."
As I turned back to the direction Kaito was riding, he was now nothing more than white and blue blur in a sea of green grass. Still I stayed and watched until all sight of him was lost.
Leaning against the door frame, I sighed, wishing already that he was still here. By now I had realized that I was hopelessly in love with him, and that there was nothing I could do about it but wait impatiently for his letter and hope he would eventually feel the same way about me.
I hope I didn't make anybody throw up while reading the parts where Rin is falling in love with Kaito, I have no experience with that sort of thing, besides reading shojo manga. :3 Please please review, PM, it doesn't matter! I have no idea when the next chapter will be up, I always write on paper first, but I don't have my own computer, so yeah…. ^-^
