Chapter Two:
"I don't care what you sya. You are going to marry Princess Relena if I have to have my servants tie you down like a hog to do so!" King Chang said angrily to his son. "I will not have a disobedient son! That is very dishonorable and serves no pride!"
WuFei opened the door that entered into the hallway from his chambers. He had locked himself in t here for the past three hours and refused to come out until the wedding was called off. "How dare you, father, say that I do anything that is dishoborable! I am the heir to the throne, and I am a very honorable Prince!" He said, glaring full-force at his father.
The elder Chang sneered at his son. "Unless you do as I ask and marry this Princess you will bring no honor to this family. You have no idea, son, what I have done to get this marriage arranged, and I will not have you ruin it by being stubborn and dishonorable!" His eyes were growing narrower as his temperature rose. "you should not disobey me anymore WuFei. I am warning you. You are going to go to the Sank Kingdom, and you will marry the Princess, and you will do this before they find out that we are nearly broke you hear!?" The King's nostrils were starting to flare with anger as he spoke. "I have strung a web of lies about our riches and I even staked our honor and pride on it. This marriage is very important to keeping our royal family alive and you know that!"
WuFei's eyes leveled with his fathers. "Yo usay that I am the dishonorable one by refusing to marry a spoiled Princess that I do not know, but yet you tell lies and put the stake of our kingdom on the line. I tell you now father, it is not I who has no honor, it is you!" The movement came as quickly and sharlpy as WuFei's words. King Chang slapped him right across the face, leaving a prink imprint on the very spot where the two skins met.
The father walked over to the nearest chair and sat down in his son's chambers. "This isn't about honor or pride. Is it WuFei?" He sighted angrily. "This is about that girl Meilan." He pierced his son with a stare. "I care not that she is beautiful, I care that that you have already taken her to bed, I care that she is an honorable person, I care not that she is a good fighter, and I care not that you love her."
His words seemed to stab the Prince in the heart but he did not show it. Instead he held his head up high without a responce. "What do I care about her is this though," The King stood in front of Prince WuFei. "I do care that she is not of royal blood and that she does not have the riches to save our family and our kingdom. You will learn, son, that I am making this sacrifice so you and the kingdom will benefit."
The King paused, waiting for his son to reply. When none came he moved to leave. "You lie." WuFei said before he could reach the door. "It is not your sacrifice that you are making, you are making my sacrifice. You are forcing me to sacrifice for something that I do not even want." He turned away from his father. "I will never want this, the crown, or the Kingdom." He gestured out the window. "I would rather be a peasant with honor then a Prince with none. And that is what I will be if I marry this Princess based on lies."
Angry, the King rushed out of the Prince's chambers. He had nothing to say to his son. After all, his son was right, but not even he could admit that. He believed that he was doing this for the good, and if his son wanted to refuse to it then to him be damned. He'd have to find another way arounmd this so his Kingdom will thrive.
Lots O' Love,
Relena Peace
