One Wedding and a Funeral

Empress Tianzi sat on the big table, whimpering, tears standing in her eyes. Her soon-to-be husband gently laid his hand on hers.

"Relax, my love. You needn't… fear."

In a way this sentence scared her even more. She had heard much of Odysseus u. Britannia, too much.

"Tell me, did the Empress willingly acquiesce to this marriage?" Seth asked his accompanist who was dressed in a yellow, Chinese dress, fitting to her traditional hairdo.

"That's what they said. We do not have a way to assure, though. Besides, this will be the way to peace."

"I hope you predicted that right."

"Me, too." She said, turning away only to see Anya Alstreim tipping on her heart drive in a bored way.

"Excuse me, Lord Alstreim, are you accessing your e-mails here?"

"No, just memorizing."

"Oh, is that a diary?"

"Well then you're recording, not memorizing" Lloyd said while going past them. "Kids should really know the difference between technology and real life."

"You're one to talk" she replied under her breath, but in the same reserved or bored manner she always did.

Suddenly a pink haired man walked by and started wondering as he saw Seth unusually close to a woman his age.

"This is a rare picture. I am surprised seeing Lord Sandwhisper showing interest in anything human. May I have your name, Milady?"

"Of course" Cecile replied politely. "My name is Cecile Croomy. It's a pleasure to meet you, Sir…"

"Earl Kanon Maldini. Prince Schneizel's eighth assistant." Seth said before the man had a chance to introduce himself.

"Public and Private" Kanon added in an intimate tone.

"Ah… Huh?" Cecile was a little confused by the thoughts running through her mind.

"I'm kidding" he answered in a tone that let her in disbelief of the statement. "It so happens the prince has a preference for unusual things, which includes myself."

Their conversation was abruptly disturbed by an officially-sounding voice:

"Announcing the arrival of the Prime Minister of the Holy Britannian Empire, second Prince Schneizel!"

Yes, super short Chapter this time. I just wanted to tell you that I got myself a LiveJournal Account in which I tell why not now and when the next full Chapter comes out. Maybe you'll find something to calm you down there ;)
