Len and I walked through the garden and into the beautiful white mansion which mixed elegance with the modern world. Len walked behind me as I looked around the place. Roses in different colors lined the different paths that a person could take. I turned to Len and he gave me a reassuring smile and turned me around to face the mansion, urging me forward. I pressed the gold handle and pushed the oak doors open into a beautiful foyer bathed in golden lights. Somehow, it seemed familiar to me. I continued walking on into the velvet colored hallway and into an amazingly spacious room with windows taking up an entire wall and the ceiling about one hundred feet away which had paintings of angels flying in the sky. I placed my backpack down by the cream couch with golden swirls and walked to the window.
"How do you like it?" Karin asked, walking in from another room. "This house has my favorite view of the city and the mountains. Speaking of the view, how about we all have lunch on the terrace?" She looked towards Len and waved her arm towards the other doors. "I believe you know your way around, Kagamine." She picked up my backpack and threw it to him. "Go to the third floor, the Silver Room. That's your favorite, isn't it? You two can stay there as long as you don't tell Rein."
"Yes, your highness," he said, bowing. She gave him a glare.
"You know, Rein isn't here," she said. "Now, what's my name?" Len hesitated for a second, but he slowly regained his posture.
"Yes, Auntie," Len said, trying to make it sound not as painful as his face showed. He quickly shuffled up the spiral stairs, leaving me alone with Karin.
"He hates it when I tell him to call me that," Karin said, with a small laugh. "You must be starving, Rin." She stood next to me at the mirror. "We'll wait for Rein and Len, though. The chefs are preparing food as we speak."
"I wonder...what time is it?" I asked.
"About four in the afternoon," Karin responded. "Rin, relax. I'm not going to bite. I see your mother in you every day, you know."
"Neru?" I asked, turning to her. She nodded and walked back to the couch to sit down.
"She was always so nervous as a child," Karin went on. "Just worrying about her responsibilities and about how other royals saw her. She never saw the light until she met your father. I'm glad she did or she would have probably stressed herself to death." Her eyes traveled up and down as she observed me. "I can tell you're the same. That young man might be a good match for you." Might? She probably sensed the confusion in my face and her mouth formed into a tired smile. "Your mother had two suitors."
"Two?"
"Yes. Your father and..." Karin paused to take a sip of the clearest water in a glass I've ever seen. "And Tan's King, Usee. I do believe he adopted an heir however. Rinto, I think. I've met him only a few short times, but I can see why he was adopted. The strong, cold aura of a ruthless leader. Rinto has it and it was something that attracted girls like your mother like a magnet." I walked over to the couch across from her and sat down.
"Can you please tell me about it?" I asked. Karin nodded.
"When your mother was sixteen, I had set up a suitor for her to meet," Karin explained. "Of course, your mother hated the thought of it, so I let her choose for herself one man she could rather marry than Usee." She took another sip. "So, we went to the Tailor's before arriving at the meeting. Guess who your mother found?"
"Lucian."
"Nope," Karin corrected. "We met your namesake. She's dead now, but she was the Queen of the Yellow kingdom. That young girl took on nobility at the age of fourteen and she was a kind, gentle ruler. She told us a story about an evil queen who lead her people into destruction and she didn't want that to happy to her, so she treated everyone equally. It's probably why Yellow is such a kind place today."
"Why did Rin die?"
"She died when her favorite servant died from pneumonia," Karin said. "It was a terrible heartbreak for her."
"A servant? Why?"
"That servant was her twin brother. They did everything together and even though she ruled, she'd let him help her. The one who rules over Yellow now is your Len's aunt and your Len received his name from that servant. It was Rin's last request."
"...how does that tie in with my mother?" I asked.
"It doesn't, I just wanted to show you where your name came from!" Karin beamed. "Anyway, after we met Rin, your mother and I decided to take a stroll in the park. It was still too early to be at the meeting, so it was a great, peace place. That's where your parents met. Your father was painting and he asked your mother to stand still. Neru took it as...a challenge. It was...a very interesting hour. After, she ran up to me and almost screamed her lungs off. 'HIM!'"
"Neru was like that?" I asked, for confirmation. "That's...surprising. She's so calm and quiet at home." Karin nodded.
"But, what's trying to get at, dear, is that you already have a chosen candidate for marriage," she said. "But, I can clearly see you're taken with Kagamine." I blushed and she grabbed her phone. "I'll cancel the marriage meeting with the other candidate, but the least you can do is personally tell them your decision."
"Can it wait till after I'm sixteen?" I asked, with a small smile.
"Of course dear," she said, watching Len walked down the stairs. "On another note, your second marriage partner is Rinto K-"
"WHAT?"
I'm late I'm SOOOO LATE OTL I'm sorry D;
