Haku held the door open for the young prince and his escort. Both parties bowed respectfully to one another, and Luka poked Miku in the back.
"Hey, try not to frown too much, Miku-sama."
Miku quickly smoothed out her face into a more welcoming expression and nodded at the prince. The king motioned to the maid at the other end of the room who scurried over to take their coats.
"Ah, Prince Gakupo, it is good to see you." Miku's father boomed loudly. Gakupo lowered his head and replied quietly.
"It is an honour, your highness."
Luka smiled and tilted her head slightly, before turning to lead the group through to another room. She stood in the doorway and grabbed Miku's arm before she could go and seat herself at the table.
"He doesn't seem too bad, Miku-chan," She whispered softly in her ear. The princess shrugged.
"I guess not." She honestly didn't think the man was annoying or snobbish. He came across as very grounded and polite and Miku considered for a second that she wouldn't mind being friends with him. She still strongly opposed the idea of marrying him, but maybe she wouldn't hate him like the rest of them.
A/N: It's so short XD, and I don't actually know where this is going, but I do have other chapters written so I'll come up with something. Please review XD, or don't, I don't really mind. Laters. :)
