Chapter 4

"Oh? Now what does my honorable sister want from me this time?" Kentoras was annoyed. But he grinned to show interest into the subject. Haruka did not like this but chose to keep her temper down and started to speak. "Michiru is going to be the queen of Neptune. That means you are going to be the king of Neptune." Kentoras raised his eyebrow. "What's your point??"

"It means that you have the power over Neptune. Look, I don't think that the people of Neptune will appreciate as a prince of Uranus being their king. That means that you'll have to prove to them that we aren't bad as we were. This also helps our kingdom very much." Haruka explained. Kentoras thought for a moment. She was right. "How does this link to Michiru?" Kentoras asked. "The people of Neptune trust Michiru better than they do to you. This means that whatever Michiru says about you, true or not, they'll believe her. You have to show to Michiru that you are a loyal, honest, responsible, nice king and deserves what a husband should deserve from his wife." Haruka said.

"I....haven't thought of that....I guess you're right..." Kentoras stated. He started to lean against the wall and sighed. Haruka didn't know if he was tired or was thinking. There was a moment of silence between the two. "I'm going to get something to eat." Haurka finally said and Kentoras nodded. Haruka didn't really want to get something to eat but she wanted to get away from the silence between her brother and her. She walked slowly to the buffet table. To her big surprise, Michiru was standing. Alone. She had a few choices: A) Walk up to her and chat B) Walk away C) Eat D) Don't do anything. She didn't want to choose choices C and D. She had ten seconds to choose. She slowly walked towards Michiru.

Her whole body was shaking. Kentoras was right. She had no right to interfere. She was getting closer to Michiru. When she was close enough, she lightly tapped on Michiru's shoulder. Michiru turned around. When Michiru realized who it was, she slapped Haruka. Hard. Haruka's eyes went wide with surprise. "What was that for?" she asked. "For everything you've done!!" Michiru then quickly ran outside. Sobbing. "That went well...hahaha..it's called rejection, sis" a man said. Haruka turned. Kentoras was standing, grinning. Haruka was angry and confused. She needed to straighten out. She pushed Kentoras out of the way and followed where Michiru ran. Kentoras yelled, "Good luck...hahahha...yeah right.." He mumbled the last two words. He then walked to talk to some of the inners.

"Michiru!" Haruka yelled. She couldn't find her anywhere in the courtyard. Where did she go? Haruka continued to look around for her. She then heard really quiet sobs. She began to walk closer. There, she found Michiru on a bench curled up into a ball. Oh my god, what have I done? Haruka didn't want to surprise her or get her mad again so she said, "Hey. May I join you?" Michiru looked up. She wiped her teary eyes. "No." Instead of walking away, Haruka walked closer to Michiru until she was in front of Michiru.

"I know you may think that Uranus is an evil planet. But, things have changed over the past few years." Michiru started to speak but Haruka interrupted her. "Please let me finish. Okay, so we haven't given you the greatest impression of us. But even if you think we are all evil, you would still not know who we are. I'm not evil to tell you the truth." Michiru gave Haruka a cold stare. Haruka proceeded. "You don't even know me. How would you know that I'm evil or not? I may be related to a merciless king, but you don't even know who I am, first of all. Look, I'm sorry that your father died but things have shifted around. I understand that you'll hate Uranus forever but please don't blame on my brother. Okay, he might act like a jerk most of the time but he's loyal and honest." Haruka sighed. She was done with her speech. She decided it was best to leave Michiru. She slowly walked away. Haruka..., Michiru thought. Haruka's right. Not everyone is evil but still....Uranus is her all time enemy. Michiru thought for a moment. Then, Michiru started to run after Haruka.
