Queen Rei watched the small couples dancing, and sighed a little. Serenity looked on as well and shook her head. Why does Chibi seem so.. happy around him? She must really like him, ne Queen Mars? She asked her formally.br
Queen Mars shook her head letting out another sigh. It is unfortunate that she does.. Rei looked at Mikara who had only glanced on at Ash and Chibi-Usa. br
Mikara bowed and left with no words at all leaving her lips.br
Serenity watched the girl walk off and shook her head. I wonder if she is jealous.. She said to Rei. But the fiery Queen of Mars just shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. Who Knows.. she said finally.br
br
Mikara walked along quietly, searching for a dark and tall man. Over here. Mikara. he said in his smooth voice. br
Mikara stopped and pulled back some of her light blue hair, as she looked at Jarkon. She did a small curtsies as she kept her eyes on him. she said quietly, hoping not to be noticed by anyone else. br
He smiled as he babied the last of his wine. Having fun, are you child?br
She nodded her head. Yes, m'lord.br
Good. Now listen up, you are to make sure to win the heart of this Ash. Understand? It is vital to m--- our plan. He smiled a little looking at the small child. br
Mikara's smile was bright as she nodded, her eyes gleaming in the candlelight. I will make sure not to let you down m'lord!br
See that that's the truth. He smiled darkly. br
br
Edymoin looked over at Serenity and Rei, then back at Adime. Are you sure that he is causing that? That's it's not just rumors? He asked Adime.br
The man nodded his head, his dark brown hair moving a little. I'm certain. Somehow, Jarkon has managed to cause a minor rebellion in the troops southwest of Mercurcio. br
The King shook his head. I don't believe that. Already, Queen Mars has gone through so much. First long before when she lost Sir Yuichirou, then King Kagetsu, now this. He shook his head, feeling very sorry for his dear friend. br
Adime sighed. It is awful. I just hope that perhaps I can stop her believe that she's a curse.. He looked over at Queen Rei, in a longing manor.br
Edymoin put a hand on the other man's shoulder. Let us hope so. Rei has gone through just so much. She deserves someone that can truly care for her. He smiled at the man, as Adime smiled back. But the smiles were short-lived.br
Kagetsu did truly care for her, Adime said, moving his body so that Edymoin's hand would fall. He died to protect this planet from Jushen. Adime winced, remembering the battle well. But he pushed it out of his mind as best as he could.br
That was five years ago, Adime. Rei has been recovering from it, and it's time for her to move on. br
Adime looked away.br
You as well, Adime. he said looking at himbr
At this, Adime looked back up at the King and nodded his head in a determined fashion.br
br
Suddenly, large trumpets were heard as everyone in the room stopped their lively dances and turned to face the queen. Rei stood tall, nodding to the children, as they came racing back up. Now all of you, go and find your spot on the thrones. She said smiling and winking to them all.br
Kyo looked over and saw his chair as he bowed a few people in the ballroom whispered about how nice a boy he was. Then he walked over and sat down.br
Leena turned to her mother and curtsies then walking over, the same with Ash, Serenity, Edymoin, and Adime. br
But Rei looked around for Mikara. ::Where are you, child?:: she asked herself. Then she turned around, seeing that Mikara had already sat down. A blush went across Rei's face as she thought to herself. ::By the gods I am stupid..:: She shook her head and looked on to her people. Loyal subjects. I welcome you to tonights party. In which the announcement of my daughter's betrothal shall be announced! There was wide clapping heard amount the crowd as Rei smiled, nodding to everyone. Then she continued, Not only that, but also that of the Mars Moon Royalty shall have their betrothal announced. A small pause went across the nobles, but ten the clapping was brought up, only to be half-lived next to the others. br
Rei turned and looked at her Daughter and Kyo. Princess Mars. Prince Mars. Please, step forward. At that, the two children looked at each other. br
Why does she want you up there, Kyo? Leena asked in a whisper, standing up at the same time.br
y...you'll see.. Kyo whispered back, a blush on his face. The two children walked up to Queen Rei and bowed to her properly.br
Queen Rei looked at the two and smiled. Princess Mars, Prince Mars. It is a tradition that before the Princess's 6th birthday, that she become betrothed to someone. Worthy of the title as King of Mars'. br
Leena looked over at Kyo with wide eyes, as Kyo looked back at her. The two stood up fully together, as Rei faced them to each other. She took ahold of eachother's hands and clasped them together. I have then decided that, Prince of Lower Mars, Kyo. Shall become that one worthy King of Mars. Sudden cheering went around the whole room as loud clapping occurred.br
Leena's eyes just got wide with shock as she looked at the boy. While Kyo was nervously trying to let his eyes look another way. Leena said quietly in shock.br
Rei smiled and put a hand on each of their shoulder's. Please, take your seats, beside one another once more.. br
The two looked at the queen and nodded as little children do. The walked over to their seats, kyo desperately trying to hold onto Leena's hand as she kept on pulling it away.br
Leena please! Kyo whispered in urgency to her as they sat down, Rei could be heard in the background continuing her speech for Ash and Mikara. It's not my fault! I don't want to get married to you either.br
Leena stared straight ahead, her back perfectly straight. Silence Kyo! she demanded but she wined to herself in her thoughts ::Kyo!? He's such a baka! Mother lied to me!::br
br
Chibi-Usa looked over and felt her heart pounding, as she saw Ash and Mikara join hands. ::I guess..Princess's of the moon, aren't aloud to like princes of other moons..:: she thought to herself, closing her eyes. Chibi felt a warm and kind hand on hers as she looked up, seeing her mother's gentle face. br
Serenity just looked at her child as she sighed a little bit. Fear not, my dear. She said smiling. On day, you shall be betrothed to someone wonderful as well. She said, smiling to the girl. Chibi nodded her head and sighed, looking back at Ash and Mikara.br
br
Ash looked over at the delicate-looking girl, as her eyes flashed a very soft green, then went back to their soft and gentle blue. Immediately he felt something rush through him, a wonderful feeling he had never felt before. ::No.. I felt like this with Princess Moon..but..this is lingering so much.:: he looked at her and smiled as the two walked back to their seats, looking intently at one another.br
br
Jarkon smiled from the corner, where the candle light couldn't reach. Good, little one. You seem to still be a useful tool right now.. he laughed a little to himself as he heard Rei speak.br
Please, partake in the next room the Banquet that has been prepared. On the other side, Jarkon saw the doors open to a lavish Banquet hall, little name cards at the usual spots for the nobles. He kept his sinister grin as he followed the crowds of people to the room.
