Chapter 5: And from here it starts.........





"Lord Van you asked?" Called a sweet voice from beside the rose bushes. Van's head snapped forward in an instant as he forced himself to smile. A young woman with long black thigh length hair and cold icy blue eye's was walking towards him, with a beautiful kind smile on her gentle face. Any man in his right mind would have his eyes pop out of his head and immediately start drooling, but all except the handsome king of Fanelia. He just stood there and waited for the girl to finally reach the fountain, still wearing his fake smile.





When she finally got there, which seemed like a million years, Van just simply sat down and waited for the girl to do the same. He never caught the small frown that she wore as she slowly sat down beside him. "Melody, we have know each other for a very short time and my advisors are expecting me to marry you," He started, but was interrupted by Melody who grabbed his hand and pulled him towards her. "Van are you asking me to marry you?" Her voice started to tremble, as tears started to fall down her face. Van was just about to say his answer when Melody stopped him, "Van I can't marry you. I'm sorry but I just can't.........you see there is this man who I'm in lo..........." She was about to finish her plea when suddenly Van placed a finger on her lip's to shush her. " Melody that is just the very same way I feel except I'm in love with a girl I may never see again. My advisors sent you here in hopes that I would change my mind but instead I made a new best friend." He whispered as he smiled removing his finger from her lip's.





Melody started to smile brightly as she threw her arm's around his back and hugged him hard, "Thank you!" She cried out while hugging him harder. Van blushed slightly at her action but didn't mind, Melody was like a sister to him along with Merle. Van pulled Melody away and helped her up, he smiled at her before they walked back to the castle. " So how are we going to break the horrible new's to your, as you say very annoying advisors?" She mockingly asked him, which earned her a groan that escaped Van's mouth.



"Well?"



"How do you explain to a band of complete idiots that you don't want to get married? Do you think that I know?" He alleged miserably as he scratched his head.





" And you think that I know? Well I certainly do not know, since my parents are the ones who deal with our advisors back in Basram." She replied knowingly as they continued to walk down the beautiful hall way.





"Maybe I should tell them after the ball in Asturia. Millerna will be expecting me tomorrow so I shall have no time to deal with those fools."

Van concluded as he looked at Melody.





"Are they really that bad?"





"Worse than me............" He replied mockingly.





Melody just burst out laughing, while trying desperately to hold it in before she ripped her dress. "Oh haha laugh all you want ,Melody, but I'll get my revenge soon enough. Just wait till I meet you boy friend."

Now it was his turn to laugh at the face Melody made. "No you wouldn't Van!"





"Yes I would. And I will!" He laughed harder, and quickly sprinted away before Melody could murder him.







~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Somewhere in Gaia~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





Hitomi stirred in her sleep not noticing the man that was carrying her. She never felt his strong arms encircle her waist and lift her into his arms. "Van.........." She whispered quietly as she once again fell into a deep sleep. The man that was carrying Hitomi just shook his head in amusement as he jumped onto his white stallion still holding the girl in his arms. 'This is going to be so funny, Van is going to kill me when he sees that Hitomi has arrived in Gaia and no one has told him!' The man with long blond hair thought while fighting against the urge to start a laughing fit, as he slowly trotted away on his horse heading for Asturia, is homeland....................





A/N: Guess who the guy is? See I told you that Van won't propose to Melody, oh wait a sec I didn't tell you that!? And yes there will be a ball in Asturia, guess who is going to be surprised to see Hitomi there? Anyways I decided that Melody and Van should have a brother and sister relationship because it'll make the story much more fun to read, at least I think so? Anyhoo, Van has very stupid advisors cause I made them that way........... So if you people think that this is a very boring story then don't hesitate to criticise me cause I'll learn from my mistakes, I hope so! Well see you soon! And please be a fateful reviewer and review this horrible story thank you!!!!
