Hiya! Make sure to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It means a whole bunch! Thanx!

Lady Kaioh met her parents at their castle. She preferred to live in a palace, so they built one for her. Her parents were the King and Queen of Italy. Everything was so rich with culture here, and even the language sounded like angels singing to the stars. Lady Kaioh loved Italy. She smiled softly in the carriage while gazing at her embroidered lace handkerchief. There had been some quarrels between Italy and Spain, and now Italy was on the borderline of getting into war with them. Certainly her parents wished for her to be with them when they confronted the King and Queen of Spain. The carriage stopped, and Lady Kaioh got out of the carriage near the water of Venice. The water was sparkling like champagne, and she saw many gondolas along it. She smiled and blissfully closed her eyes for a minute before covering herself better with her shawl, and moving towards the castle. She heard singing, and she blushed. The men in the gondolas were singing a beautiful song that a singer had sung in honor of her at court. It spoke of her unchanging beauty and kindness. Actually, the singer was doing it for her because he knew that only she could free him from his terrible fate of being prisoner in the dungeons. He was from France, but he knew Italian. He had sung so beautifully that she pleaded her mother and father to let him be the royal singer of their country, and they decided it was alright. "Mi amor…" She hummed to herself quietly in her head. She was raised to be elegant and polite, so humming and whistling were definitely not allowed. The men on board continued singing of her. Lady Kaioh smiled softly to herself. What they were singing about her wasn't an exaggeration. Many singers and poets remarked on her beauty in poetry and music. Her beauty was universally known. None of the other states had any princess worthy of being as beautiful as she. Lady Kaioh had simple elegant features that emphasized her eyes and her baby-pink lips. Her eyes were large and deep as any ocean. They were a rich dark blue, surrounded by long, thick eyelashes. Her movement was like of a swan's… graceful and slender. Her long slender cream neck was an added attribute that showed her angelic features. Her hair was a soft aqua, falling in tresses on her shoulders. Her kindness was admired, most other princesses were haughty. Only few princesses were gentle as she was. The princess of the Netherlands, Minako, was known for her entertaining stories and jokes. Michiru and she became very good friends, and ever since, the Netherlands have been very peaceful with the Italians. The Princess of France, the brave Mokoto, was her enemy for some time, but then they made a peace treaty for the two countries later on. The Princess of Switzerland, the sweet Selena, was also Lady Kaioh's friend. But Rei, the fiery princess of Ireland, was one of her best friends. Even though her country was small, they had lived in peace for centuries. Rei came often when she could to explain battle techniques to Lady Kaioh, but her time was limited, and she had to depart very quickly.

"Princess Michiru?" The princess of Briton curtsied. Her dark blue hair was short, showing off her cute features and sublime voice. Lady Kaioh curtsied back.

"Call me Michiru. What is your name?"

"Ami."

"Come, Ami, let me show you around Venice." Lady Kaioh led her through the canals, past the famous bridges, and by the time they got back, Ami was quite tired.

"You have such a beautiful country, Michiru. If the Spanish attack, I'll be sure to be on your side."

"You're too kind, Ami."

"No, it was my pleasure. You should come visit British sometime, it is full of parks and beautiful palaces."

"It sounds delightful. Thank you Ami." Ami left without a trace. Michiru sighed. "One more ally…" she thought. But she knew that Spain still had the largest armies of all of them put together… and that she needed to find more countries to ally with. The Spanish were so powerful because of the trading routes they conquered and used them, becoming allies with China, Japan, and Russia. (I'm just naming off random countries.)

Michiru got on her horse, and galloped to her father's castle. When she got there, two guards opened the doors for her and as she walked in, everyone bowed. She then took her seat next to her mother and father.
