"She's very beautiful your Majesty."
"Her hair is so silver, it shines like the stars!"
Husky was attending his own engagement party. Everyone who was anyone was here to celebrate the King's Bride. He was wearing a long red gown of silk. Peals and crystals were sewn into the fabric. The dress's style made him look like a siren. William was the envy of every man in the room at that moment. The hall was decorated with white and silver. Floral arrangements adorned the tables and wall.
"Of course the King would marry such a beauty."
"Lucky Bastard, he really got the pick of the litter."
"I wish my wife was half as beautiful."
Husk listened to their idle chattering. He had forgotten how annoying royalty tended to be. They all glommed over how lovely he was, he resisted the urge not to smack each and every one of them down. He had to remember he was acting tonight, the part of a blushing bride, thankfully over the years his acting skills were amazing. He also had to remember was that if he behaved tonight; William would let him see his sister. That was not something he was about to pass up. He sighed; he had to be the wife at the engagement party and wedding. However Meho could be the one at the coronation. He wanted o experience and many things as he could Myrrha but Meho had to be seen as well.
"What's your name My Lady?"
"Meho."
"Isn't it unusual for a Sailand Princess to marry outside her country?"
"Yes well, we hope it will mend things for Sailand and Astaria. Besides I'm just so in love!" he wanted to vomit from saying that but he really had to act now. In the end this would bring war. The fact that the Crown Prince and his twin sister were kidnapped was probably all over Sailand by now. He could never marry Meho as long as she was acknowledged as the King's daughter. Every Princess needed the King's blessing before they wed. Meho had no such blessing.
"You're a Kaito right?"
"Yes I'm descended from their second princess."
"Oh double royalty!"
"Yes, my ancestors, I'm told were very beautiful women."
"Is mother as beautiful as you?" What was with these people and beauty?
"I'm told I'm like her twin but with my father's ears." It was true. He had his father's ears.
"Princess, why don't you give your husband a kiss for us." Oh God why?
"Wahhh, I'm so embarrassed. Must I?" He even managed a blush. He hated acting like a girl.
"Oh you must kiss him, show us who much you love him!" He felt an arm snake around his waist.
"Yes Meho, give me a kiss." He glared for a moment, unfortunately for William the glare didn't go unnoticed.
A young Earl named Allister saw the glare. Immediately knew something was off. He had been struck dumb by the appearance of the Princess who was promised to his King. He was put off by her lovey dovey routine but it all changed when he saw that glare and the almost forced way they kissed. What was wrong, hadn't she been all over her fiancé a few moments before?
He kept an eye on her throughout the party. William never let go of the Sailand Princess. His grip was not affectionate, but possessive. He was almost rough with the girl. Eventually he thanked them all for coming and bid them to their guest rooms. Allister did not follow the order. He followed the King and his Princess. The minute they thought they were out of sight. He threw her into the wall and began scolding her. Allister's eyes widened. After he scolded her he stared for a few moments then pressed a bruising kiss on her mouth. She struggled but eventually let him do as he pleased.
When he was done pulled her down the hall and Allister followed stealthily. He opened a door and beckoned her inside. The Princess shrieked and ran inside. William followed but foolishly left the door open. Allister peeked inside the lost his balance and tripped from what he saw. There were two Princess Mehos. There was the Meho from the party and a second dressed in night clothes now clinging to her double. All attention was turned on him. The bed clothes Meho buried her face into the others chest. William was livid.
"hat in the name of hell is going on!? Why are there two Princess Mehos!?"
"There aren't." William explained. He walked over running a hand over the one in the ball gown's hair. His smiled was coy.
"This is Myrrha." He put his hand in the one adorned in sleeping wear.
"This is Meho."
"Why do you have both of them?" William smiled and gently pried Myrrha away from the second girl.
"I wanted to marry Myrrha, but I can't, luckily Myrrha has a twin sister. I legally marry the sister but truly marry Myrrha." He was taking pleasure in seeing the man's expression before he killed him.
"Why can't you marry Myrrha?" Husky sighed and spoke in her real voice.
"Because I'm a man." He growled. Allister fell again.
"You're a man!" Myrrha nodded.
"You're a homosexual your majesty!?"
"I generally love women, but for Myrrha I made an exception." He wrapped his arm around said man and hugged fiercely. Myrrha however squirmed and fought the grip.
"Now Myrrha, speak more and you will b punished."
"Why shouldn't I? I thought you liked my mouth!"
"Silence or your daughter will pay for your insolence." The man in drag shut his mouth and did not speak again.
"Now, what to do with the spy?" He grinned wickedly. Meho ran to his aid.
"Please Your Majesty; I'm sure he meant no harm."
"But he knows about the two of you now."
"Please your majesty, make him, my…..Companion."
"Companion?"
"Yes, I would love a companion and Myrrha, might want a break from being a woman once in a while and having a man to man talk." William considered her words for a bit.
"Fine, he lives." Allister paled, he had planned to kill him?
"Earl, you're now my Queen's pet."
"Pet?" He asked indignantly. Meho giggled and latched onto him.
"Yay! Thank you Your Majesty!" She whispered in his ear.
"It's either this or death."
"You are to attend to her every need, but if you dare deflower her I'll see you head on a pike."
"I understand."
"I'll let you have some alone time Angel." He kissed his cheek.
William left the room. Meho and Myrrha sighed simultaneously. Myrrha sat down and pulled his extensions out leaving his now shoulder length hair. Meho knelt down and laid her head on his lap. There was a long quiet moment before Allister spoke.
"So you two are twins."
"Obviously."
"How did you two get mixed up in all this?" Husky looked at his sister.
"William and his father tried to take Meho away when we were thirteen. I took her place and William fell in love with me. Less than a month ago I was leaving my Inn when William's men kidnapped me and my family. They kidnapped Meho from the embassy and brought her here. The idea was that he would legally marry my sister and have her bear children while I would be a daily wife."
"That's awful."
"He has a sick interest in me, I heard from the servants he has a Kaito harem."
"Does he expect you to……"
"Yes, he does, but I'll have to endure through it, he has my wife and kids."
"What are they like?"
"My wife is an angel, she a master of domestic skills. My eldest is my daughter Marie, blond-silver hair, blue-green eyes, a fighter. The second is my only Kaito child, May, the cook, ad a dancer. The third, my daughter, who takes after her mother; and Molly, the seamstress then there's my only son Nikki."
"Why did you name them that?" Meho asked not moving from her position.
"Well, all those except for Molly, are nicknames. My oldest is actually named Marien after our mother; my youngest is Nekaro, after our father, Molly after Nana's mother." He paused for a bit.
"And Meho, after you." She sat up looking at him. He stroked her face.
"I thought I would never see you again, so I made sure that in my family at least you would be remembered. May, she looks like you, always have."
"Myrrha….."
"So you're our pet now Allister."
"I told you I'm not your pet." The twins exchanged devilish grins.
"His majesty gave you to us." Meho started.
"So we can do with you what we will." Finished Husky. Allister wasn't sure he wanted help the twins anymore. Someone knocked on the door. A servant came in announced that the twin's time together was over. Husky stood up and held his sister. He kissed her forehead and left the room. Allister was ushered out soon after. Meho was left alone with her thoughts.
Husky laid down on his bed, he was happy to see his sister but he needed his wife. The moon goddess seemed to answer his prayer. He heard a light rapping on the window. He ran over and opened the window and saw his wife flying outside on the windowsill. He laughed quietly.
"Doesn't this seem familiar?" He joked. Nana smiled and knelt down and put her arms around his neck.
"Husky." She whispered nuzzling his face.
"Nana." they had a long silent moment.
"Sorry you have to see me in this pitiful state." He said slowly turning away with an annoyed expression.
"I don't mind, I'm used to my husband being prettier than me." Husky turned to her gaze again with dry look painting his so called pretty features. Nana giggled and pressed her lips to his.
"I missed you."
"I missed you too. But you have to go back."
"I just get here and you're already sending me away?"
"Nana, you know we're in a bad situation. You have to go back to your room, if William finds out you can escape he'll punish the children, or my sister."
"You're right." He whispered looking down.
"One kiss and then you go back."
"Would I ever deny my husband?" She gave him a loving kiss before jumping off the windowsill and back into the night.
Husky awoke snuggled in silk sheets. He wished he would turn over and find Nana curled up next to him but he saw nothing. She was still somewhere else in this godforsaken palace. He stood up and looked in the mirror; he would be a bride in less than two days. He ran his fingers through his hair extensions. The maids assigned to him came in and started to brush out his hair and put him in another ridicules Astarian gown. Pretty for Nana maybe, but it certainly wasn't pretty for Kaito boy.
"Princess?"
"Hmm?" Oh Goddess Moon as he responding to being called princess.
"You seem down for woman with a wedding in a few days."
"I suppose I'm just nervous." Not a total lie, he wondered if the maid knew his true gender.
"You have such beautiful hair but the roots, as odd as this sounds seems more brilliant then the rest." She must be talking about how his real hair was shinier then the stolen Kaito hair he wore as extensions. He shrugged, not knowing how to respond to that statement. He laid his head back and enjoyed the feeling of the comb raking through his hair.
He wondered what he would do as he walked the halls. He was so quiet; His head hurt from the tugging on his hair from the tight plaits they had woven his hair into. The sun shone into his eyes. How he wished he wasn't here, that he was with his wife again holding her in his arms.
He wondered, even if he was freed with his family, what would happen when he returned to his Father? He knew he was the heir. He didn't want to marry many women but in the end it wasn't his choice, it was a tradition that needed to be upheld, the harem was a symbol of alliance. But it would be painful for Nana to endure.
He couldn't put her through that and yet he couldn't abandon his people. As his father said, it was time for a plus anima to be King, he had a responsibility and it was time for him to step up and take his father's place as king. But he loved his family, what would they have to deal with? Would they have to go through what he did?
If it came to that he wasn't sure what he would do, he though Gabe was more aggressive and Leo was smarter, James knew more about foreign policy, Wako was a better diplomat. Many of his brothers were far more qualified to rule and yet their father chose him. He stopped and his ladies in waiting started chattering in concern.
He nearly kicked himself. He was trapped in this place with his wife, sister and children. He was getting married tomorrow for the Goddess's sake. He was worried about how he was going to handle being the heir when he got out of here. He was so stupid, it truly bothered him. He was getting married to man when he was married to the love o his life. His sister was being held against her will with his wife and children.
Oh the drama……..
Meho wandered the halls of the palace; she was allowed to wander the floor for the day. She started poking around the rooms. So far she had found two men who were cheating on their wives a few servants gossiping about the people of the palace and such scandalous things going around. She heard singing…..
She followed the sound of the voice until she came upon a door. She slowly opened it and saw a veiled figure standing over a bed containing a pair of children. A Kaito girl was lying on the bed her silver hair spread over the pillow and the children. They all turned to look at her. The children were asleep, a pair of blonds. The Kaito girl was a fish plus anima, her marking were clear. The one who was singing was veiled completely. She pulled the veil from her face. A pretty face, blue-green eyes and silver streaked blond hair.
"Father, is that you?"
"No, I'm a woman." the Kaito girl sat up.
"Are you, are you Princess Meho?"
"Yes why, who are you?" The veiled girl ran to her and hugged her.
"Aunt Meho!"
"Aunt?"
"We're Myrrha's children, all four of us." Meho couldn't belie it, her nieces and nephew, these were them.
"Oh, truly? What are your names? I've longed to meet you for so long."
"I'm Marien, Marie for short."
"The boy is Nekaro, Nikki, and the girl is Molly." She continued pointing a gloved finger at the bed. The Kaito girl fidgeted.
"I'm Meho, May for short."
"It's wonderful to meet all of you. I still can't believe he named a daughter after me."
"Father loved you; he wanted your character in a daughter of his." The Marie explained.
"Child why are you veiled?"
"I'm a memoria."
"truly did you touch William? Did you read him?"
"Only briefly I saw his plan, and I discussed it with May, we came up with a counter-plan but you're not gonna like it."
"Why?"
"You will have to marry William." Meho was silent for the longest time.
"What!?"

Princess: (Panting) Okay rush ending because my life has spiraled into a living nightmare. I have midterms, black belt essays, tons of Tae Kwon Do practice, school musical, final psychology project all coming up at freakin' once.
