I yawned and stretched and smiled at the princesses, telling them I had a very nice sleep, thank you very much.
I decided to use the cloak to follow the princesses around the next day, so I could choose the right one for me. I quite fancied Chiharu, her hair would be divine if let out.
"So, what do you think of the latest fluffhead who wants to marry one of us?" asked Meiling.
"I feel sorry for him! Why does Otou-san behead them, anyways?" sighed Tomoyo.
"I think so, too, Tomoyo-chan. But I'm sure otou-sama had his reasons." agreed Sakura.
"He's quite cute, and I think he knows more than he lets on." shrugged Meiling.
"He's better than the others. I wouldn't mind giving him my hand if he's smart enough." mused Naoko.
"He's nice enough. Very sweet. It's a pity he'll lose his head. But if otou-san give him my hand, I'll run away." said Rika.
"He's quite homely and stupid," Chiharu replied snobbily, "I'm sure I won't have to worry about him receiving *my* hand."
I felt as if someone took a blow to my stomach. Hard. I sighed softly as the six sisters entered the main hall.
"Oh, isn't that Xiao Lang so kawaii and kirei?" asked Sakura dreamily.
"Don't forget, Sakura-chan, that's onii-sama's rival in the national sport. Touya-chan is *much* better, Prince Xiao Lang just lucked out." chided Tomoyo.
I watched the King's Advisor whisper something to Prince Touya. He nodded and enterd the small circle, used for glaring, the national sport. Rika sighed slightly, glancing at Counsellor Terada, then looking away, blushing pink.
I could not choose Rika. I might have before, but her heart belonged to Counsellor Terada. It would only be cruel.

I feigned sleep, snoring loudly, then threw on my cloak and ran after them. It was much the same as the first night, except I tripped less, and was less amazed at the forests.
I broke off a twig in the first two forests, but forgot to grab a card before climbing onto the giant bird. I plucked one off quickly after we returned, not glancing at it before I ran frantically ahead, stepping over the hem of Chiharu's dress in my hurry.
Throwing myself onto the bed and tossing off my cloak, I supressed my panting. That was close!
