Chrome sat in front of a large mirror, Kyoko was busy dabbing at her lips with a tube of clear lip gloss. Stepping back, Kyoko smiled in satisfaction as she admired her "masterpiece". Unlike lower class vampires, you could see their reflection in the mirror.

Chrome's silky purple hair was swept up and secured at the top of her head with a delicate diamond tiara. Along the side of her head were thin strands of hair braided into braids to shape a bun. Loose strands of hair escaped and framed her heart-shaped face. Her large eyes sparkled like polished amethysts, her tiny pink mouth curled up into a mysterious smile. The indigo gown fitted her figure perfectly. The well-cut bodyline showed off all her perfect curves. A beautiful crescent pendant was set upon her wide forehead, shaped like a half moon; it rested on her forehead like a silver teardrop, catching the light whenever she moved her head. This was the symbol of Akarui Clan.

"Kyoko, escort me to meet Prince Mukuro," Chrome announced.

As they neared the royal courtroom, Chrome heard a silky voice say, "…I would like to marry your daughter." Chrome let out a tiny gasp.

Beside her, Kyoko tensed, as she reached out a hand to open the door, Chrome held out her hand and put a finger on her mouth, indicating her to be quiet. Chrome put her ear against the door, listening. Their voices were slightly muffled, but still audible.

OoOoOoO

"Why do you suppose I would agree?" King Tsuri asked, he has already heard the tiny gasp outside the door when Prince Mukuro announced this news, and it must be his dear daughter.

"Well…first of all, this would surely help our relationship between the two clans," Mukuro explained, looking quite confident, "Second of all, I have heard that Princess Chrome possesses flawless looks, I would assume that Your Majesties would only betroth her to someone worthy of her."

"And you would assume that you are worthy of her hand?" Queen Asta questioned calmly, raising an elegant eyebrow. Although he is, Asta thought. This Prince had indigo-coloured hair that was tied back into a ponytail. His features were absolutely flawless, with chiseled cheeks that resemble a Roman statue, sexy thin lips that always betrayed a hint of amusement. His multi-coloured eyes were alluring, even dangerous. Even he was bowed down at her feet, Asta could still feel the pressure he gave off.

Mukuro smiled, and didn't reply.

"Well, I suppose that this would be my daughter's choice, after all, this is her marriage."

OoOoOoO

Chrome knew that this was the cue for her to go in, her father senses were always so keen. Stepping back, she aloud the guards to open the doors. When the door was all the way open, Chrome peered inside and saw her Mother and Father sitting on their thrones, standing infront of them were a handsome vampire. Chrome assumed that he was Prince Mukuro. As she took in his appearance, even with some preparation, she still froze slightly. He was the most gorgeous vampire she has ever seen. Even more so than her own Father, who was a King.

She didn't know that Mukuro was surveying her as well.

He too, was astonished by her beauty, although he has seen many royal vampires, he has never seen someone who was so...dazzeling.

She was like the sun, radiating off light and beauty. Unlike himself, Chrome's eyes were clear, free of secrets and sinister thoughts. He saw her beautiful eyes slightly widen when she saw his perfect face, but quickly regained composure. Even so, Mukuro knew that there was more to her than her seemly pure and innocent appearance. Her face too, was cold and guarded, her mouth was curled slightly, indicating that she was not pleased about his visit.

Oya, oya, Prince Mukuro thought, Interesting, she seems unaffected by my "flawless features." To be honest, Mukuro was confident about his looks, over the years, countless women were dazzled by his appearance. But on the other hand, none of them were as beautiful as Chrome.

Mukuro stepped forward and took her small hand in his, "Pleased to meet you, Princess Chrome." He pressed his lips against the back of her hand, his eyes remained on her face, his eyes hinting that he was fairly amused about her disgusted expression.

"Father, I would not like to marry this…Prince," She seemed to spit the last word out, once she got over his angelic face, she was sure that this Prince was a "playboy" for sure. She would never marry someone who is a womanizer.

"You heard my daughter, Prince Mukuro," King Tsuri said, hiding a smile, he knew that his daughter would never marry someone who was so handsome, and dangerous.

"Yes, indeed, I did," Mukruo agreed, "Well I suppose that this ends my visit. Take care, Princess Chrome." With that, he bowed and exited the room. Before he left, he whispered into Chrome's ear, "We'll meet again, my princess."
