Chapter 11

Yuki sat under a tree that following day along with Muta as she let out a heavy sigh before she looked up at him and said, "Muta, I don't think you're going to believe what I'm about to tell you."

"Oh yeah just try me?" The large half cat responded with, as he put his arms behind his head and leaned back up against the tree.

The blue eyed maid just continued to look up at him as she informed him, "Well you see, the prince just told me that instead of waiting one more day to marry Haru..." she paused for a few seconds before she added, "He has decided that they will be getting married tomorrow evening."

"WHAT?" The anthro cat chief shouted, at the top of his lungs. However, he quickly calmed himself the best he could as he continued with, "Does Baron or the mermaid princess know about this?"

Yuki looked away as she answered, "Yes, Baron knows and his not that happy about it." The white furred half cat shut her eyes tightly as she went on with, "And I can't bring myself to tell the princess since that would only break her heart even more."

She then felt a pair of large arms wrap themselves around her causing her to open her eyes. And when the maid did she saw Muta smiling at her as he rubbed the top of his head against hers as he comforted her with, "Hey, you don't need to worry about that Yuki. Besides if she does find out about it I'm sure Baron will find a way to make her feel better."

"Yes, perhaps you're right Muta." Yuki let out, as the two then began to purr as she put both of her hands up against his chest.

ooooooo

Lune continued to look into the mirror as he let out, "I wonder should I really go through with marrying Haru? I-I know that we have gotten along quite well these past few days, but I don't want the mermaid princes to feel that I am neglecting her." He then turned and walked towards his door as he went on with, "Perhaps I should go see how she is doing."

When he opened the door though he was quite surprised to see the orange haired young woman was standing right outside it as he responded with, "Oh princess mermaid, hello." He then smiled as he added, "I was actually just about to go find you."

He noticed that the young woman had a surprised look on her face as he offered her his arm as he replied, "Yes, I was because you see there is something that I have to tell you." While they started to walk down the hallway though he let out a sigh as he continued with, "I don't how to tell you this princess. But instead of waiting one more day, Haru and I have decided to move the wedding ceremony to tomorrow evening."

When he saw the purple eyed young woman was franticly shaking her head from one side to the other he begged, "Please don't be upset by this princess. Because when I told you that if I had a choice that I would marry you." The lavender furred prince's face sadden as well while he ended with, "However, if I were to disobey my father then I'm quite certain that not only would he be cross with me. But I believe that he would blame you for me not going through with the marriage. And I do not want to see you harmed in any way what so ever."

The anthro cat prince watched as the young woman's eyes filled with tears as she broke away from him and ran down the hallway. Seeing this caused Lune's to break as he really wanted to be with the young woman, but the only way that, that could happen is if the orange haired young woman could prove to everyone that she was in fact the same person who had saved his life. So until then he knew that he had no choice but to follow his father's wishes even if that meant breaking both of his and the young woman's heart in the process.

ooooooo

Orihime stood in the ballroom later on that night as she thought, "Well, I guess if Lune is going to marry Haru. Then this is my second to last day before I die."

The young woman was broken out of her thoughts however, when she heard some footsteps coming towards her. And when she looked up she saw that Baron was smiling at her as he said, "I somehow had a feeling that I might find you here, princess." She watched as the orange and cream furred half cat stopped when he was in front of her and extended her his hand as he ended with, "And since you're here I was wondering...would you care to dance?"

Orihime felt like her stomach was in knots after Baron had said this as she thought, "W-What should I do? Should I have Baron find out that I can't dance? Or I should just run out of the room while I have the chance?"

However, when she looked up into the half cat's emerald eyes she saw nothing but kindness as she slowly nodded her head and the two got into their positions. And since the purple eyed young woman was expecting the worse she tightly closed her eyes expecting the broken glass feeling to come for a second time. To the young woman's surprise though when the two started to dance she felt no pain at all. This caused her to open her eyes as she asked herself, "W-What's going on here? Why...Why don't my feet feel like their dancing on top of broken glass?"

The anthro cat then began to twirl her around a few times before he retook her hand into his. While he did this though she thought, "Is...Is it because of Baron? D-Does this maybe mean something?" The orange haired young woman shook her head for a moment as she added, "No, I-I only love the prince..." But she could not help but look into the half cat's eyes again as she ended wiih, "But Baron's eyes are filled with such kindness. W-What should I do?"

However, the mermaid decided to worry about the matter later as she and the prince's head advisor continued to dance in the empty ballroom.
