The following morning Fiadh awoke around 4am like a zombie arising from the grave. She had gotten maybe three hours of sleep thanks to Kuzan. They had both talked long into the night and even when she finally let her Den Den Mushi sleep she was kept up from her mind. Fia knew she would have to take another intermediate trip to go see him, and logically it would be in between the fourth and fifth stop as that would give her optimal time to make the flight to him. However, she wasn't sure she could wait that long. Though Kuzan had brushed her worries off she could tell he wasn't doing as well as he claimed after his fight, and something had definitely happened.
Now he was a deserter from the marines and alone in the New World. Fiadh owed him a lifelong debt and she'd be damned if she didn't pay it back. The only reason she had even kept ties with the marines was because he had pushed her to do so. She was in no position now to break said connections, but the temptation was beyond any logical decision now that it was Sakazuki who was the one calling the shots.
Regardless, shitty ice for brains demanded Fiadh stay away for now so she would. Even if she wanted to she had a quickly approaching island to worry about. They'd be making land in just a few hours and she had stupidly elaborate clothes to sort out. Sighing loudly Fiadh dragged her long tangled hair over her shoulder standing in her pajamas of a large black shirt and shorts that disappeared under the shirt's hem. Throwing on some sandals Fia wandered to Asra and offered a morning stroll which he nodded and silently followed her.
Above deck they both meandered, following the railing as they lapped the large ship multiple times. It was pleasantly warm despite a lack of any sun yet to crest the horizon. The sea was calm, all fitting right into Oka's region norm. Fiadh looked forward to seeing the cherry blossoms and scenic rolling hills they were so known for.
The groggy night crew stared at Fiadh with little to no recognition. Though some waved to her in greeting most avoided her as they noticed the large beast walking with her. Even hardy New World pirates seem wary of him. Fia gave them no mind and made a mental note to do something for the crew for their hard work. She could feel eyes burning the back of her head so she lazily turned searching for the cause.
Across the ship she saw Katakuri looking far more awake than she felt, half dressed in his normal attire, with his scarf snuggly around his neck, and arms crossed over his barred chest. He was staring hard right at her, or more specifically at her exposed legs. Fiadh felt warmth heat her face as she quickly became aware of her attire. She raised a hand to the man in greeting to which he returned with a nod of his head. He turned to go below deck without a word and Fiadh looked at the sky showing the first signs of light. Asra snorts besides her as if in amusement earning him a resounding smack to the back of the head.
"Shut it mutt." Fiadh hisses out to him knowing he was mocking her embarrassment at Katakuri's staring.
"I didn't say anything…" The large hound nearly whines at the pain caused by Fia's slap. Damn woman packed a punch.
Nearby crew just stare with widened eyes at the interaction. Fiadh is certain they all think she's absolutely insane but it doesn't really matter.
"Alright let's go get breakfast and get the shit show started." Fia states before walking back below deck. She felt better after getting fresh air and stretching her legs.
After feeding herself and Asra she got herself a large mug of caffeine to help her through what was sure to be a long day. Going back to her room she meticulously takes the layers of fabric she's expected to wear and puts them on. The long skirt for women is surprisingly comfortable and hugs her wide hips. It didn't fix that the burnt orange color of the clothing made her own orange-ish hair look dulled. Initially she had thought all the bundled orange had been both her and Katakuri's clothing, but after separating it out she found it was all just for her outfit. The orange color was a sacred color for Oka's people as it was the color of the Nubians coat of fur.
There was supposed to be some symbolism between the unmarried woman's purity being compared to their deity with the clothing but for Fiadh that shit was more than lost. She was not a pure woman, nor would she pretend to be one. However, she will walk the walk for these people since she needs something from them. The clothing was similarly lined with intricate gold designs of flowers and vines. The upper part of the outfit was more just fabric wrapped along her torso with a body tight black long sleeve underneath. After situating the surprisingly heavy silk into what she assumed was appropriate placement with the fabric going over her left shoulder leaving her right arm exposed in just the black top.
Afterwards she decided to braid half her hair back into an intricate bun, weaving it into itself and pinning it into place with a gold hairpin. The hairpin was a keepsake from her mother and whenever an opportunity arose she would wear it with pride. It wasn't exceptionally intricate, but had a bejewelled butterfly that dangled off the top like a charm. The only color jewelry allowed was gold for unmarried women which worked perfectly well for Fiadh who primarily owned such accessories anyway.
Fia silently hoped she wouldn't be forced to wear these ridiculously intricate clothing the entire stay. She knew they weren't expected to wear it outside of official proceedings, but realistically how much time would she actually get outside of the business portion of their stay..? Fiadh definitely wanted to wander around the island and explore for at least one full day. It was basically tradition whenever she went to an island that was new to her.
When she was done Fiadh looked in a full body mirror propped on the wall of her room to look herself over. Unlike the men's attire she didn't have a sash, and instead of comfortable flats she was stuck in narrow heels. Though the heel was short and the fabric of the shoe comfortable, Fiadh still disliked them as she knew she'd be standing for hours at a time in them. The lack of sash was a direct stab at women's lack of voice in the country. The sash's color symbolized an outsider's purpose being there. Fiadh almost felt tempted to wear on of her own in spite but quickly pushed down the thought.
Around her neck was a basic gold necklace with a tiny circular diamond hanging from it. In each ear were gold earrings that hugged her earlobes like cuffs. Her right ear had a second gold clasp half-way up her ear that she forgot she had. Then her golden cuff that was well worn after years of having it, Fia slid it onto her right wrist. The cuff hid deadly silver needles since she knew this island would definitely frown at a woman walking around with a katana. Though it pained her to leave it behind on an unknown island she decided it would be best to keep the katana on the ship for this trip.
It had been a while since she had worn her golden cuff, Fia absent mindedly thumbed over it with her left hand as she thought back to her time at Totto Land. It felt like significantly more time had passed than what had since she had been there. Again she was reminded of the lack of contact from Brulee and Fia felt like a nagging family member as she felt the desire to call Praline to inquire again. She was well aware it wasn't her place to pry, but she still felt the desire to do so.
The ship noticeably slowed and Fiadh assumed they must be arriving so she collected her packet of papers to hand to the Oka diplomats and swiftly headed above deck. She would have liked to check Katakuri before their arrival but she had spent too much time trying to get herself in order to do so.
Above deck there was audible cheering and as Fia's eyes adjusted to the morning sunlight she could see the outline of a massive port and city. The buildings were almost all domed at the top, increasing in size and magnitude the further inward her eyes went. Fiadh noticed the array of small fishing boats as well as impressive Galleon ships already docked. Though the Sweet Commanders ship dwarfed all these ships, it was still impressive for the country itself.
At the docks there was a large crowd of people cheering, all in robes similar to hers. Looking along the deck she found Katakuri already in the appropriate attire thankfully. He was leaning on the railing furthest from the approaching docks, his scarf firmly in place, and a noticeably scowl on his face. Clearly unamused at the reception they were receiving here.
"Katakuri, are you ready?" Fia asks with a small smirk at the man's clear discomfort.
"Hm." It was neither confirmation nor denial. Though the man did pause to look over Fiadh, despite her own clear discomfort in the unusual clothes, he thought they looked good on her. The extra jewelry also caught his eye and he smirked at the cuff on her wrist. An untrained eye wouldn't notice but he quickly could tell it likely hid something deadly. It looked oddly familiar to him too.
Finally their ship came to a halt and the crew scrambled to tie them to the dock and get the gangway in place for Fiadh and Katakuri. When they both descended alongside each other they had a professional looking group of guards come up to them. Once again Fiadh mentally laughed at countries sending soldiers to receive guests. However, the guards simply bowed and made a pathway through the crowd. At the end there was a gaudy looking carriage that was drawn by large, two legged bird looking creatures with elaborately decorated harnesses.
Fiadh was more fascinated with the animal pulling the carriage that she completely missed whatever introduction was announced for the people stepping off the carriage. Though she looked at their clothes and saw the primary silver used in it and knew it was one of the royal families of Oka. Suddenly Fiadh wished it was just the guards receiving them…
"Hello! Thank you for travelling all this way Charlotte-sama, Dartraigh-sama." Said the older gentleman that stepped off the carriage first.
Fiadh's eyes swept over the four individuals that stepped out from the large carriage. There were two men and two women, clearly a family. Both the men were as tall if not taller than Fiadh and the women were both more average height. They all had darker skin tones and dark blue hair, except what Fiadh presumed was the younger daughter who had light blue hair.
Fia noticed Katakuri's lack of response and not so subtly elbowed his side to remind him he had to speak first. Though she would love to just respond freely it was not Oka's custom.
"Ah, hello. Thank you for welcoming us." Katakuri responds clearly to travel the distance between the two groups.
Katakuri was surprisingly not awkward in delivering his response and Fiadh almost gawked at him for how strong and concise his voice was. Maybe he was just painfully awkward around her…
"I am the patriarch for the Aki family, you can call me Anash. We are one of the five ruling families of Oka and volunteered to be your hosts for your stay here. This is my wife, Aruna, one of the five queens. These are my two children," Anash points to his son first in introduction, "my son Aries. And my daughter Arena."
Fiadh silently wondered if this royal family had to all have A names… probably.
"I am Charlotte Katakuri."
"I am Dartraigh Fiadh, a pleasure." Fiadh says after Katakuri, both with a slight bow in their head.
Fiadh noticed Arena staring openly at her, more specifically her left side. She had seen all the women around them in the crowd with perfectly unblemished skin, and no signs of hard labor on them. It would have made Fia's younger self self-conscious, however, she didn't mind it anymore. The staring was something she expected at this point.
Then the queen lifted her hand and elegantly waved to Fiadh who returned the gesture as she stood back up to her full height. This display of courtesy was met with rowdy cheering from the crowd that almost made Fiadh smirk in triumph at not fucking anything up.
"We will escort you both to the castle so the two of you can get settled if you wish?" The noble's eyes swept over their clothes as if picking it apart before noticing the packet of papers Fiadh held in her hands.
"We'd like to go to morning court directly if that's okay with you." Katakuri responds coolly. Fiadh had briefly gone over what to expect with the man, but he was doing much better than she had expected at handling this.
Suddenly the younger man, Aries, that hadn't said anything at this point began walking towards them with long, confident strides. He had a pleasant smile on his face and as he came closer Fiadh noticed the gold trim on his silver attire. Despite Fiadh's distaste for how stuffy Oka's formalities were it was highly useful in information gathering. From his face she presumed he was younger than herself, but she knew well looks could be deceiving.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." The man said with a devilishly handsome smile as he came to a stop in front of Fiadh.
Suddenly the man bowed a surprising amount at the hips, and held out a hand clearly requesting hers. Fiadh wasn't certain if this was another custom, and she certainly hadn't read anything about it so she held out her hand with a confused but amiable smile. As she glanced down Fiadh saw a mark on Aries' forearm that was obviously his fated match mark. It barely peaked from his shirt on the hand he held her own in. Aries briefly kissed the back of her hand before standing back up and smiling at Fiadh, never once acknowledging Katakuri. To her it wasn't out of the norm for this sort of interaction to be a typical greeting.
The crowd surrounding them rippled in gasps and whispers instantly making Fiadh look around in confusion. Fiadh awkwardly looked at the still grinning man silently requesting an answer. Glancing behind him he could see who Fiadh presumed was the man's mother staring with wide eyes and face crimson.
"Um…" Fiadh mutters, thoroughly confused on what had just transpired.
Katakuri was next to her silently seething and staring a hole into Fiadh's hand that had just been kissed by the disgusting man still in front of them.
"I believe we should be going now." Came the stiff voice of Anash, still standing by the carriage with his wife and daughter.
"Agreed." Came an equally stiff response form Katakuri.
Katakuri silently offers Fiadh his arm which she gratefully takes as they walk to the carriage with the grinning prince. They all board the large carriage which they comfortably fit into. Fiadh sits on the same side as the queen and her daughter, she sets her packet of papers in her lap and has to choke down a sigh.
"So… Dartraigh-sama, we've heard much of you from the chancellor." Came queen Aruna's timid voice.
"Hopefully all good things." Fiadh says with a pleasant smile to the woman.
It was clear no one would openly explain what had just transpired with the prince so Fiadh would patiently wait for a time to ask the queen or her daughter in a more private setting. The daughter looked to be in her early 20s and had an indifferent expression the entire time, almost uninterested at everything transpiring. The only spark of interest Fiadh saw was when she was glancing at her face.
"Of course! He spoke very highly of you and your work." Said the king.
Fiadh kept her amiable expression as she modestly responded to the king. Katakuri sat with crossed arms and a clear scowl on his face. The carriage rattled as they drove down the well maintained roads. The buildings passing by doubled in size and the small markets Fiadh saw by the docks were nonexistent in this area. Clearly a sign of the increasing wealth.
Throughout the short trip the king had attempted repeatedly to get Katakuri to communicate with him. He showed little interest in talking to Fiadh as she expected. However, Katakuri was even less interested in the king. Though he did respond with grunts or nods of his head, which was more than what he'd normally do in this situation. If it wasn't for Fiadh's presence he was sure he'd already have started a war and just gotten what they were here for and left.
When the carriage came to a halt Fiadh followed the queen's actions as they waited for the men to exit first. She exited last and saw the prince reach a hand out as if to assist her descent. Fiadh kept a tight smile as she accepted the hand but swiftly snatched her hand back as she walked over to Katakuri who still looked immensely annoyed.
"Katakuri, here." Fiadh pushed the packet of papers into his hands. It was the business proposal they had both worked on.
"Thank you." He says back just as quiet as she had been. He let his hands brush hers as he took the papers.
The two followed the royal family ahead of them into a large domed building with columns in front of a grand entrance. It looked like a courthouse as Fiadh expected. As they walked through the maze-like building, they reached a large hall where a half circle of seats and podiums stood. There were exactly 13 seats, all etched in gold. The entire hall was overwhelmingly elaborate. With marble floors, and expensive looking chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
Each seat held a man, all in formal attire of various collars, and all looking exceptionally serious. They all had various shades of tan skin like the Aki family. However, there was no silver fabric to be seen in the people at the seats. Fiadh presumed they were part of the elected system that Oka was governed by. As they all came to a half in front of them, Katakuri and Fiadh bow again in courtesy. Though Katakuri's isn't more than a head nod.
"Good morning, thank you for coming to our beautiful island." Said one of the men with grayed hair and a maintained beard that still held trace amounts of color.
"The pleasure is ours." Katakuri responds with little emotion but a confident tone.
"So… You have come for a business deal." Another man says, significantly younger than the first and clear excitement shown in his shockingly blue eyes.
"Correct, these papers hold all necessary information as well as our business proposal itself." Katakuri says while holding out the packet of papers.
A young boy runs out from where he had blended into the wall to rush the papers from Katakuri to one of the men sitting at the podiums.
"Hm… Alright, we shall look this over then. Would you like us to call for you when we make a decision?" said the man who had first spoken.
"Yes, or if you have any questions. Please feel free to contact myself or Fiadh. Thank you for your time." Katakuri says with a nod of his head.
Fiadh found it surprisingly painful having to stay completely silent during something she disliked doing in the first place. Regardless it was her job, she really fucking despised patriarchal, mysoginistic countries…
The men simply waved them off with them all mumbling confirmation to this arrangement. The royal Aki family that had been patiently waiting to the side of the room stepped forward on Anash's lead to guide them out of the courtroom. Fiadh did release a sigh of relief this time. She had been very concerned about them asking any questions while they had been there. Luckily they seemed very content just having the papers to go over.
The formal attire suddenly felt extremely stuffy and overly warm as they stepped out into the quickly warming morning air. Fiadh took the chance to glance down the streets taking in the odd architecture, clear displays of wealth, and well maintained stone roads. There was a handful of carriages all drawn by the odd chicken looking creatures and all different colors. None had as elaborate harnesses as the royals' birds, but there was clearly no lack of money in this country. Even by the sea the smaller houses were still very well maintained and the markets were full of life.
Though Fiadh enjoyed seeing the prosperous city she also felt the desire to exit it. A capital city like this did not show both sides of the coin. There were always impoverished areas, and she assumed that must be their countryside. She also just wanted to look at beautiful scenery and explore too. Fia was a person of simple pleasures when it came to her worldly travels. Extravagance really wasn't part of that.
"Do you like Oka so far?" Aries questioned, walking to match Fiadh's stride.
The small group was making their way back to the carriage at a much slower pace than when they had exited from it. Fiadh took a moment to take in the prince's appearance. He was a few inches taller than her which was surprising, a slimmer build than Katakuri who was trailing behind her. With dark blue hair cropped short on the sides but longer on the top. His tanned skin looked pristine, clearly well cared for, and he had surprisingly sharp hazel eyes. He overall was very handsome, but looked much too young to be showing so much interest in Fiadh making her snort to herself.
"It is gorgeous. I'm hoping to explore a bit during our stay to see more of it." Fiadh says in a slow but amicable voice. She felt like she was walking on thin ice with this prince after the odd interaction before.
"Oh, I could escort you if you'd like!" Suddenly the man's voice rose an octave in excitement and Fiadh swore his eyes sparkled.
"Um… Thank you, I'll let you know." She neither accepted nor denied his offer. The larger man looked like an excited puppy and it honestly overwhelmed the woman.
As they reached the carriage Fiadh saw a flash of orange in the corner of her eye. Turning she saw the strangest looking animal that she instantly knew was the Nubian-Aquita. It had large horns that stretched upwards adorned in gold. Floppy ears that hung down the length of its neck and was exactly as she expected in body. A perfect hybrid of what a typical goat and cow look like, just with strange orange fur, a white belly, and the head appeared primarily goat-like. This one looked to be old, and had a family in much more casual clothing than she'd seen so far walking alongside it all smiling and gently petting the animal as they walked down the street. It's eyes looked vibrant green with rectangular pupils.
"Oh, interesting!" Fiadh murmured as she accidentally stared at the animal. She always loved seeing Dr. Vegapunks animal hybrid creations and just new animals in general.
"Hahah! Nubian's are always a shock for newcomers. Though you seem more curious than most." Said Anash, only honest humor in his tone.
Luckily Fiadh didn't offend them with her curiosity for their deity, it seemed to please the nobles walking with her more than anything.
"Sorry… They are as gorgeous as the chancellor said." Fiadh says, ears slightly burning in embarrassment at getting her childish moment caught.
Katakuri chuckled softly and patted Fiadh on the head. He had been silently following her, and though he didn't see the fascination with the weird looking goat he enjoyed seeing her eyes light up as they did. Seemed it wasn't just food that this woman was interested in. Fiadh looked up at the man with a surprisingly meek grin.
"No worries my dear, we're glad to see you enjoy yourself here. Our culture sometimes is a bit… much for outsiders." said Aruna shocking Fiadh with her voice but she had a pleasant smile as always.
They all crowded back into the carriage setting off towards where they would be staying while at the island. Fiadh knew Katakuri had set up for a few crew members to get their bags of clothes to them. She hoped they'd be there before them as she felt more sweat bead down her back in the layered clothes she was in.
"Oh, I love getting to experience different cultures. Part of the joys of my work." Fiadh says awkwardly rubbing the back of her neck.
Not for the first time she saw the younger princess staring at her across her mother on the seat between them, specifically her hand by her scarred neck. Instead of ignoring it Fia made eye contact and smiled her brightest smile to the woman. Arena's head jerked to look down at the floor of the carriage, and Fiadh couldn't help but chuckle at the girl's reaction. Though Fia's face felt tired and tense from all her forced smiles, she knew it was worth it given the calm mood surrounding the group.
"So… You are a woman who travels the world?" The curious question from Anash didn't seem judging, but Fiadh was certain there was some hesitation.
Aries and Aruna were silently listening with eyes focused on Fiadh's answers. Whereas, Katakuri was looking out the window in what appeared to be disinterest. Though Fiadh knew he was also listening.
"Yes, I am a food inspector. Well I mostly just connect people and help supply routes flow smoothly. I used to do more hands on inspections for quality control, but I'm in too high demand now!" Fiadh says with pride in her voice.
She would still do inspections of food when she could, but now her job had become more of the frustrating business side of things. It paid well, but man was it boring.
"Interesting. You seem to do well for yourself." Anash said with a pleasant smile, but seemed to lose any genuine interest.
"You travel alone?" the queen asked with a more timid voice.
"Well, kinda. I have Darra, but he's more of my ride getting place to place."
"Your… ride?"
"He's my companion, been with me since I was younger. He's basically a giant vulture and flies me so I can get to my various job requests around the oceans." Fiadh says with another more genuine smile as he thought of her friend. "That reminds me, I have to find him a gift. Any good stores for large gold jewelry I should go to?"
Fiadh was relieved that this group of nobles seemed less stuck up than she was worried about. They weren't nearly as terrible as she thought they might be. Talking comfortably with her even if she was a woman, though there were obvious differences as expected.
At her question Aries shot a hand up and answered loudly, "Yes! I can take you to it tomorrow if you'd like."
"Sounds interesting. I've never heard of such an animal." Anush suddenly looked more interested in the conversation.
Fiadh was glad in the New World people wouldn't bat an eye or think she was crazy for saying she flew around on a giant bird. Here there were much stranger things to be seen compared to the calmer seas.
"He's a brat." Katakuri surprisingly spoke up.
Fiadh sent him a mock frown and retorted, "Yea, but not as bad as you."
Shit… Shouldn't have said that.
Anush and Aruna looked equally shocked. The king's face turned slightly red and he looked clearly disgusted at her response. Aruna looked mortified and her face was pale in fear. Obviously a woman wasn't supposed to talk back like that in this country, but Fiadh felt exasperated as she had been talking to Katakuri. Not someone from Oka. Aries looked interested in the conversation still, but not as upset as his parents seemed to be.
Katakuri started chuckling before saying, "She's not wrong."
"That explains why she isn't married." Anush said with significant bite to his words.
Fiadh felt herself bristle in anger.
"Father, they are guests." Aries surprisingly spoke up though his voice slightly cracked.
Anush seemed to take his words to heart though and nodded his head with a sigh.
"I apologise, that was rude."
"Indeed it was." Fiadh said in a clipped voice.
An awkward silence fell over the occupants of the carriage that continued to rattle down the road. Fiadh could feel Katakuri's clear irritation after Anush's comment. Though he seemed to be refraining from doing anything she appreciated his emotions nonetheless.
When the carriage came to a stop at the heart of the city Fiadh didn't wait for formalities sake and lurched out the carriage with Katakuri right behind her. They had attempted to stay amicable and match Oka's pace, but neither of them were about to be disrespected. Both individuals had too much pride to sit still after the king's comment.
Fiadh wasn't about to back down and leave, she was much too stubborn. No she'd face these misogynistic twats head on, and win.
A disgruntled Aki family left the carriage after them and Anush quickly excused himself saying his son and wife would escort them. His quick retreat gave Fiadh sickly sweet satisfaction. Katakuri was still scowling heavily and kept his arms crossed in front of him.
Aruna awkwardly tried to give them a short tour of the castle-like house they'd be staying in. Apparently the surrounding buildings were the four other royal families and they'd be coming over for dinner.
"Do I have to wear this outfit for that?" Fiadh asked, speaking more comfortably now that it was mostly women present. She had a feeling Aries didn't mind her unladylike mannerisms as much as his father anyway.
"Um… Y-yes, but since you're guests you don't have to if you don't wish to." Aruna seemed far more uncomfortable than before and Fiadh momentarily regretted ruining the calm they had before.
Oh well. Was bound to happen sometimes anyway. At least it was semi-private instead of infront of a crowd.
"Okay. Me and Katakuri will discuss it later and let a worker know." Fiadh had seen plenty of servants running around the building and as always castle walls would have ears.
Asuna just nodded and continued giving them the tour. Aries and Arena kept walking at a distance behind them. Neither spoke to them though Fiadh had seen them quietly whispering to one another a few times. The princess seemed very shy, whereas the prince seemed overly interested.
"These are your rooms and these three attendants will be taking care of you while you're here. Just ring one of the bells by your door if you need anything." Aruna said with a weak smile before she curtsied and turned to leave with her children.
Aries suddenly turned to Fiadh and said, "We'll see you at dinner! If you need anything feel free to ask the servants to call me and I'll come by." His puppy-dog impression quickly melted away as he winked at her with an overly sultry smirk.
Fiadh just nodded her head knowing damn well she would not be requesting the prince. She could feel Katakuri rest a hand on her shoulder with a slightly tense grip. Turning to the man she nodded to him to follow her and they both entered her room together.
The servants seemed to gasp and fluster at this but she ignored them. She was certain it was against their strict customs for an unmarried woman to have a man in her quarters. But yet again Fiadh wasn't a fucking Oka woman and they could spread rumors all they'd like, Fiadh honestly hoped they would. Get the prince's interest off her maybe.
'So much for playing nice.' she thought to herself.
WHEW! This was so fun to write. Hope you all like sassy Fiadh stirring up trouble and jealous Katakuri appearing once again.
Anyone wanna guess what the prince's kiss meant?
