Chapter 10 Arranged Marriage

Kairi's POV

Eleven Months Ago

I had walked into a party.

"Wow", I said in awe. "This place is amazing!"

"Let me guess", Tsuki asked. "You've never been to an event like this before?"

Before I could answer...a man walked up to us.

"King Taiyō", he greeted. "It's so good to see you my friend!"

"King Meishu", King Taiyō greeted. "It's good to see you too. Allow me to introduce my children. This is my eldest Tsuki, and this is Suta."

"So this is Suta", King Meishu said. "The pictures of you do not do you justice. It is an honor to meet you."

"The honor is mine", Suta stated.

Then...a young man walked up to us...and I looked at him in shock.

He looked...a lot like Riku.

"Suta", King Meishu greeted. "This is my son, Yozora."

"It's an honor to meet you Yozora", Suta greeted.

"The honor is mine princess", Yozora stated before taking Suta's hand and kissing it.

Then...he noticed me.

"Who's this", he asked.

"This is my guard Kairi", Suta revealed.

"Guard", Yozora asked in shock. "That's surprising."

"Agreed", King Meishu added. "I thought she was a princess."

"Why does everybody keep saying that", I whispered under my breath.

"Well then", Yozora started. "If you're a guard, then let me introduce you to my guards."

With that Yozora gestured to two people to come up to us and they did just that.

One had red hair and the other had brown hair.

"These are my guards", Yozora revealed. "Magia and Aegis. Guys, this is Princess Suta and her guard Kairi."

"A guard", the one with the red hair said in shock. "But you look like..."

"Don't say it", I whispered under my breath.

"A princess", the one with brown hair suggested.

"Yeah", the other one replied causing me to groan in annoyance.

"Well then", King Meishu started. "Now that we have all been acquainted, it's time for dinner."

One Hour Later

We were all eating when King Meishu stood up with a glass.

"Excuse me everybody", he said getting everybody's attention. "I would like to make a toast to King Taiyō and his children. For years, our kingdoms have been rivals, but that ends today, and to cement our peace, my son, Prince Yozora, will marry King Taiyō's daughter, Princess Suta."

When King Meishu said this, I thought back to when Suta told about this arranged marriage.

Flashback

"What", I asked Suta in shock. "An arranged marriage?!"

"That's right", Suta replied.

"But", I started. "But why? Why do you need to get married for there to be peace?"

"My father said it's so both kingdoms' bloodlines will be stronger", Suta revealed.

"But that's no reason to get married", I stated.

"That's just the way it works", Suta stated.

"Well it's a ridiculous way", I stated. "You should marry for love and love alone!"

"Well", Suta started. "Maybe I will end up loving Yozora."

End of Flashback

One I was done thinking about my conversation with Suta, I looked at her and Yozora talking.

I hope you're right about this Suta.

HotXbun: Interesting.

Challenge: Once again I have three questions for you.

Question #1: Who is King Meishu based on?

Question #2: Where did I get Magia and Aegis' names from?

Question #3: Where did I get the arranged marriage idea from?
