Elios knew that his king was coming, and so was Selenity, Rini's sister. "Oh maiden, please try to understand my situation." He said when he saw King Endymoin and Princess Selenity coming toward him. "Hello King Endymoin, Princess Selenity." Selenity was smiling sweetly, but he knew by her dreams that she had told lie after lie about Rini. "Hello Elios, might I talk to you privately?" His king said, and Elios cringed. "Yes sire, Princess, if you want, you are welcome to look around the shrine." She nodded excitedly, and he sighed. "I want you to marry my daughter Elios, plain and simple." He decided to play the ignorance card. "Of course, I love Rini, I would never want to marry anyone else; I have felt that way since the day I met her when she was eight." The king sighed now. "Elios, you are to marry Selenity, not Serenity. Serenity is in trouble now, and I fear that she will not become queen when she is of age. She made a very big mistake, and now she has to deal with the consequences. I think that you would make a perfect king Elios, but I do not think that your queen can be whom you wish her to be." So what Rini had said was true; her sister wanted to marry him, and there was nothing that he could do about it. "If I might speak freely sire?" The king nodded. "I would be betraying Rini if I did that, and I have never felt that way about your other daughter. She's a great kid, but the last time I saw her was for two minutes at the palace when I came to visit Rini, and I left almost immediately since she was not home yet."
"Nonsense, you see her all the time in her dreams, because she has the golden dream mirror."
"Are you all right sire? Rini has the golden dream mirror." The king nodded, and Selenity came out of the shrine. "Yes, I'm fine, now come with us to Crystal Tokyo, your wedding is in two months on Selenity's birthday." Her birthday? That was Rini's birthday!

Rini stood when she was finished with the garden. "There, done." Diana sat next to her. "Hey Rini, how has your day been?" Rini cringed, and told the whole story to Diana. "They are engaged? That's not supposed to happen though!" They walked inside, and a servant told her to go to the conference room. When she was changed into her best dress, a white velvety one with silvery highlights, she entered the room. At the table sat her mother, her father, and Elios with Lini leaning on him and holding onto his arm. Her heart almost broke at the sight, but she pulled herself together and sat across the table from Elios. "I suppose that you know why you're here Rini."
"What now, you want me to be the maid of honor or some such nonsense?" Her mother glanced at her father, and she said; "Actually, yes; do you accept."
"Accept, are you nuts! What do you expect of me, to take this lying down? I will do no such thing!" She hissed, and left the table with Elios looking more upset than he already had been.

Elios shrugged the princess off his arm out of instinct and ran after Rini. He quickly caught up to her and yelled; "Rini! Slow down, it's me." She turned around, and he saw that she was crying. "How could they? Dammit, how could they?" Again out of instinct, he took her in his arms and kissed her forehead, making the golden moon symbol visible and begin to light up. "Maiden, I did not mean for this to happen, I hate to see you like this, especially when I caused your reaction." That was how he saw it, but she shook her head. "This is not your fault Elios, do not blame it on yourself, it's my fault." Now he shook his head. "No, it most definitely is not you fault Rini, I can't let you think that; I love you too much." Unfortunately, that was when the three remaining members of the royal family caught up with them. "Elios, get your hands off of my sister! We're engaged!" He pulled away from her unhappily and walked back over to Selenity. He could never think of her as anything else; he was not in love with her. "I'm sorry." He said to them, but he aimed it more towards Rini.
