Summary: Unquestionably, this was not how Misaki imagined to take responsibility. However, she didn't actually wish for anything from him. Not even a single yearning women usually have. Although she was married to the crown prince, she was not in love. Because, her duty was to her people.


Deep affections


Misaki watched her mother cry, her thoughts consumed with nothing as she forced herself to concentrate. That was, until the young prince captured her lips and sealed the contract once and for all.

Misaki closed her eyes, her lips unmoving. He must remember her words. He cannot expect her to fall for his charms, not when he easily can pass for a casanova. His hair may have been combed back and emerald eyes sparkling as the declaration rang clear in her ears but her heart would always burn an empty hole that can never be filled.

Cheers of the people, their happiness made her blink back to reality from her dreams. A tiny piece 9f her imagination urged her, made her yearn for the part of her small of desire to fall in love with someone who was worth.

But she pushed them all down, forcing a smile for the people who looked so radiant and happy.

"Misa-chan," she turned her eyes to her new husband, and saw the way he smiled so gentpy at her. Again, that tiny ray of hope ignited inside of her like a quenched thirst. But she was only beginning to fall in a pit. There was no way any one could love someone longer than a month anymore.

Not in the time she lived in.

"Aren't you going to eat? Don't worry, the food won't bite you," she blinked, suddenly finding herself in a large dining room with hundreds of people staring at her face. The lady who'd commented so ridiculously had a silly annoying grin, as if Misaki would blush for her. Nevertheless, Misaki didnt fail to show her eloquent manners. She was the crown Prince's wife after all.

"Misa-chan, eat before they start barging in with more questions," she raised her eyes and found him smiling at the guests as they joked about. And thats when she realised that he had been distracting the people from questioning her, embarrassing her.

And then, just like a gust of calm wind washed over her face as she finally let a small smile trace across her face.

Maybe, this marriage wouldn't be so bad.
