" This is Chihiro? Yubaba...." Kaonashi turned to the unkind lady for an
answer.
" Of course." A big fake smile was pasted on her face.
[Oh my god, is she the girl that I'm supposed to marry?] Kaonashi thought to himself.
Calling Chihiro a 'girl' is not really unappropriate.
Even though she's already 16 years old, 17 to be in two months' time, she could be very well mistaken as a mere 12 years old child.
She looked malnourished and thin. No one would believe that she is the daughter of a merchant. Instead she can pass off as a peasant's daughter. And the oversized gown she wore does not help either. It made her looked more childlike.
Kaonashi groaned but he quickly silenced it by mentally clamming his hand over his mouth. No one heard it except for Yubaba.
She very well knew that Kaonashi is not very happy with his bride-to-be but she's not going to give up pushing Chihiro into his hands, laying her wrinkled hands on the rich lord's fortune. Moreover, Kaonashi can't back off from this marriage since this was a marriage arranged before their birth.
Whether he likes it or not, Chihiro is his.
Chihiro fidgeted under Kaonashi's gaze. She took occasion glances at him. Sure, just like what Rin said, he looks kind. However, the look that he gave her was embarrassing.
"Apparently, he was thinking that I were unsuitable to be his bride," Chihiro thought miserably. " So be it, I don't really look forward to a arranged marriage with no love."
She STARED at Kaonashi, directly in the eye, trying hard to convey her messenge to him.
Kaonashi was obviously too deep in his thoughts to notice that Chihiro was looking, if not, glaring at him.
Not allowing him to find a reason to back off from this marriage, Yubaba pressed him for an answer, " So what do you think of your bride-to-be?"
" Fine." Kaonashi replied absently.
Yubaba grinned.
Chihiro sighed inwardly and stand behind Yubaba as they discuss the preparation of her marriage.
Finally, it was decided that the marriage would be held as swift as possible, which is 2 days later.
" Of course." A big fake smile was pasted on her face.
