Selene's face was not smiling. "You heard me the first time, Serenity. You will not act like a child. You are fifteen, an adequate age to get married. As the future Ruler of the Moon, you will marry King Endymion and unite the Solar-Galaxy."
Serenity did not make an effort to dry the tear that split down her face. "The marriage has to be approved by my Senshi, according to the Millennial Law."
Selene smiled bitterly, "You know, I have sent the inner Senshi, which would be Mars, Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter to Nemesis. King Damian is trying to colonize the eight planets without my consent. They will not know about this until tomorrow, and by then, you and Endymion will already be married. Let him deal with the consequences."
"Damian," Serenity repeated. Damian, or more commonly known as the White Prince, was the supreme ruler of the planet Nemesis. Serenity and Damian had practically grown up together, hand in hand. He had been her prince and she his princess. Her silver hair had matched his until he had reached his mid-teen years and his silver hair had turned white. Serenity had always felt that she was meant for him and him for her. "Damian will not accept this. He."
Selene rose to her full height, "I do not care what the Nemesian King accepts Serenity, I expect you to be mature about this."
But the princess didn't stay to listen to what more her mother had to say. The mention of the White King's name brought a spark of hope to Serenity. She pivoted on her heal and ran to her room, instantly locking the door. Putting one hand on her heart and the other on her forehead, Serenity silently hummed until she felt the glow of the Ginzuishou. She then slowly called Damian's name over and over again.
So absorbed by the power of the Ginzuishou was she, that she did not notice Ursula break the lock, and step inside.
"Princess, I have brought you your clothes." Ursula's ocean blue eyes smiled brightly, "I will have to do your hair differently Princess, those two buns on your head will have to go."
Coming out of the trance as she felt no reply from Damian, Serenity obeyed Ursula limply. She stared into her reflection in the mirror, "Why do I have to get married to Endymion, I do not even know who he is. I've never even been to earth before." Serenity sighed again; sometimes she hated her mother with a passion. Moreover, she hated herself even more for being so helpless. "Hi Ursula," she said looking away from the mirror.
Ursula, her maid since childhood held a silver gown in one hand and a diamond crown in another. Her chestnut brown hair flowed in a long braid that reached the ground. Ever since Serenity had been a child, Ursula had told her that Serenity would get married the day her hair was as long as hers. "Princess, everybody has to get married one day or another." She brushed the girl's hair soothingly, as if trying to make all her troubles disappear.
Serenity smiled, "I know, Ursula, I know. I just wish I could go back home."
Ursula frowned and chided the child; "You must keep your girlish fantasies out of your head little one. Marriage is a part of life, whether you want it or not. You cannot hide from it my lady."
Serenity stared out of the transparent screen out onto the Neo-Galaxy. Stars.stars burned brightly against the darkness of the Galaxy. Her eyes grew hard and distant. "Never mind that Ursula; just get me dressed and ready."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"How long is this going to take?" Endymion asked impatiently. It seemed as if his future wife's ship was going to make him wait forever. All he had been told about his wife was that she was fifteen and liked dancing. A spoiled little princess who was from the Moon. The little rock that the Earth had dubbed to be an egotistical s.n.o.b.
The Earth and the Moon had not sent representatives to each other's planets for thousands of years. As soon as he and the princess bred enough heirs, Endymion planned to send his dear little wife back to where she came from, under supervision of Earth Authorities of course.
He chuckled to himself; Kunzite surely was one hell of a genius when it came to diplomacy. After the marriage contract was signed, the earth would eventually gain control of the moon. Endymion's sapphire eyes darkened, the entire galaxy would be under his control. The first thing he would probably do would be to kill off the senior council. Lucius Marius, however, he would not kill. He would keep Lucius Marius alive as an example to any others who dared defy him. and Amelie. he still had no idea what he would do with her.
"She's here."
"Finally."
Kunzite gleamed, finally, the earth would gain the power it deserved; after all these years of fortitude, the earth could rule the galaxy and maybe even Nemesis. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Serenity stepped out of the ship, holding Ursula's hand; she squinted her eyes at the orange and purple twilight glare of the Earthen sunset. The Earth was so much brighter than the Moon; everything present seemed to have a glowing shine to it.
She cast one last look at the direction of her ship, her eyes hardened. Abruptly turning away from the golden craft, Serenity walked toward the castle, still holding Ursula's hand.
The King's palace was enormous. The white palace walls seemed to soar to the sky. The palace was surrounded by four towers that were even higher than the palace itself.
The walls of the castle had delicate carvings of mythical creatures Serenity had heard about. She stopped for a few seconds, marveling at the realness of the carvings.
Leading up to the palace entrance was a silver staircase. The silver of the stairs gleamed against light silver of her hair. Straining to keep the tears that had accrued in her eyes from pouring out, she walked up the silver stairs boldly with her head held high. The dreaded moment had arrived; she would finally have a chance to meet this so called King Endymion. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Endymion, old man, you are in luck," Jadeite said casting a headlong glace at woman being led to the Crysthilia. "She looks even better than that slave girl in Kinmoku. I wouldn't mind being married to her, not for one night anyway."
"Which slave girl," Nephrite asked, "The one with the eyes, or the one with the legs?"
Endymion was busy looking at Serenity himself. Not bad. His eyes swept over her body and lingered on her face. Not bad at all. His night was certainly going to be interesting. He cast a wary glance at Jadeite. He did not like the way Jadeite was looking at his future wife.
Kunzite steel gray eyes hardened frigidly. He was not sure if this little girl was the power behind the Ginzuishou. His carefully drawn plans would be destroyed if she could not use her power.
Only Zoicite remained inexpressive. He stared at the little girl making her way to the Crysthilia. His silent lips caught up in a smirk. It would not be long before the earth and the moon were legally bound. The power of the earth would make Nemesis bow. He had a score to settle with the Nemesian Prince.
"She has arrived, your highness."
Serenity walked uneasily, trying her best not to trip on her silver dress. She had not chosen it. For one thing, it was not as colorful as the rest of her dresses and it did not have any frills as she preferred. The scooping low neck made her uncomfortable and the flowing cloak made her feel clumsy.
Her beautiful silver hair was not in its usual hairstyle. Instead of having it arranged in two little buns on her head, her hair was loose and flowing. Unfortunately, her hair had reached the ground and she had problems trying not to trip on it.
She turned to look at Endymion. At her first glance, she did not know quite what to make of him. He had what Sets would call the perilous good looks, midnight black hair, rough chin, burning azure eyes, and full lips. Her stomach suddenly flip-flopped when she met his eyes. His expression of lust and longing unnerved her. She suddenly wanted nothing more than to bolt out of the palace and run as far away as she could.
Endymion smirked as he saw the stirring blaze of fear in her eyes.
Kunzite broke the silence. "Welcome to the Planet Earth, Princess Serenity," his steel colored eyes bored into hers. The corners of his lips twisted into a small sneer glancing at her uneasiness.
Serenity shakily turned away from Kunzite's brooding stare; she looked around, the palace was beautiful. White marble walls and sweeping staircases. Everything was red and white; not a bad color coordination, but Serenity definitely felt the interior needed more color. She rolled her eyes, you are getting married to some hideous monster in two seconds, and you are thinking of color coordination. "Thank you," she said remembering her 'conference' lines, "Your planet is very beautiful."
"Yes Princess, that's nice," Kunzite broke, "we can converse after the wedding."
Serenity stared at the man with white hair. Her eyes hardened. "Alright," she said, "so it is." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Serenity vaguely remembered the ceremony; it was a blur to her. She simply repeated the vows and stared into nothing when she did not need to talk.
Immediately upon the wedding, a foreign maid, Abene, had whisked her away to one of the rooms. She fussed about Serenity's hair, her clothes, and the bed.
Serenity sighed internally as she saw Abene fluff the white pillows on the massive four poster bed. Nothing, she told herself, she's preparing the bed for nothing. Serenity had no intention of letting Endymion have her on the wedding night. Her face furrowed when she recalled the lust written on his face earlier that day.
"Smile, my lady, it will be an eventful night," Abene said giggling; her small figure of four feet made even Serenity feel tall. "I have heard the King is a wonderful lover."
Serenity rolled her eyes. So had she. The rumors of Endymion's 'women' had not escaped the ship's crew. Tears sprang up in her eyes and threatened to flow ceaselessly. Her head throbbed as she took in a deep breath, telling herself that everything would be all right. She was married to Endymion, a lover of many countless women. The childhood dream of Serenity's in which she was married to a handsome prince who had eyes for her and her only were emotionlessly ripped and shredded into a million pieces.
Serenity was tired. She just wanted to sleep off the tension. "Thank you Abene," she said politely, "that will be all for tonight."
"Can't wait can you?" Abene said, still giggling, on her way out. "I understand."
Serenity smiled and rolled her eyes at the same time. She could wait alright, she could wait a thousand lives. She looked at her nightgown. The powder blue silk robe was see-through and she was practically naked. Would she allow her wonderful husband to see her in something like this?
Highly unlikely.
Her mother may have made her marry the bastard, but she would not be his legal whore. She changed into a pair of thick silk pajamas, buttoned her pajama top until her neck, and jumped under the white silk covers. Take that King Endy, she thought before dozing off to snooze land.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Endymion," Kunzite reminded, "I think it is time for you to leave. You have a wife awaiting you." Inwardly he added, 'you need heirs.'
King Damian of Nemesis raised an eyebrow. His beautiful face caught in a perfect mask of astonishment. "The Earth Prince, excuse me, my mistake, the Earth King, has finally tied the knot. Well who would have thought of it?"
King Endymion sneered, and his eyes stayed arrogant, "King Damian, excuse me for saying so, but I think it is time to remind you of your arrears to this planet."
Damian laughed, "Arrears Endymion? I have no such arrears." His ice blue eyes twinkled and his lips curved slightly. Perfect. there was not one slight imperfection on his face. It was as if the Gods themselves had carved Damian's face.
"Damian," Endymion's eyes were blazing and his voice was deep, he was enjoying this, "and the Earth is now legally bound to the Moon, with the armies of the other eight planets. Nemesis would be an easy victory and add to my collection."
King Damian was no longer laughing. His eyes were wide in shock and his brain throbbed. His expression of shock this time was not a mask. It couldn't be! She was meant to be HIS.
Damn that Selene, she would sell her daughter for power. "Your wife, is she Serenity?" His resonant voice was trembling just a little bit as he spoke.
