CHAPTER 15:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Why does he want to see me again?" Princess Relena asked Ella angrily. "I see enough of my father as it is."
Ella fidgeted with her dress and nervously looked around. "Well, my lady, word has it that he wants to see you and Prince WuFei..together!" She gave a weak smile. "I think the wedding date might have been set and that's what they want to talk about. But, then again, I heard from the cook's apprentice that he overheard King Peacecraft talking to himself. The apprentice said that your father was muttering something about you having too much of a dowry."
Relena frowned. "You mean he's not going to let me keep my clothes or my personal possessions! I know that the Myena Kingdom is rich and can buy what I want, but Ella, some of my personal belongings have meaning behind them. There is the mirror set that my mother left me, among numerous other items that I cherish. He can't not let me keep them!" Taking in a deep sigh the Princess stood. "When does he want to meet me and where?"
"Now, my Lady." Ella said bowing slightly. "He'll await for you in the west wing, overlooking the gardens." Stepping aside Ella allowed Relena to walk through the heavily-furnished room and out the doors. "Good luck Princess!" She yelled after her as Relena disappeared out of view. Ella gave a deep sigh. "I sure do hope that Princess Relena gets to keep her things. That father of hers is a demon!" Clasping her hand over her mouth she quickly looked around to make sure no one heard her.
Her father was the only one in the room when she arrived. Relena kissed her father's highly-jeweled hand and sat down on the small seat for two across from him. To her displeasure there was not another seat for the Prince to sit in. He'd have to sit next to her.
But when the Prince did show up and take his seat next to the Princess she couldn't ignore the slight giddiness that she felt but tried to suppress. She also couldn't hide her inward smile.
"You two are probably wondering why I have summoned you." The King said importantly, waving his hand to the waiter to bring them all drinks. When the waiter came back with wine for all of them the King lifted his cup up for a toast. "To the wedding. Which shall take place in two days hence!"
Relena numbly copied her father's actions with his cup and muttered. "To the wedding." Taking a light sip she set down the glass. "Father," She began. "I had no idea that you had planned the date of the wedding already."
The King beamed at his daughter. "Now, now Princess. You said the word idea. And that word means that you were thinking. What did I tell you about that? Women don't need to think. No, no daughter. You just sit there and look lovely as always." His smile widened. "The truth is though, your Prince here wanted the wedding to take place as soon as possible." He gestured towards Heero and had a silly grin on his face. "It seems that he can't wait to get you into bed." Giving a hardy laugh the King took another drink from his glass. "It takes a healthy and smart man to keep his wits about him with a beautiful young woman around. But having them around you too long could prove to be torturing if he can't do something about it."
Relena frowned and scowled at her father, giving a sideways glance at the Prince. Who showed no emotion or anything what-so-ever on his face. "Father, please. Talk like this is inappropriate. We are not yet wed!"
King Peacecraft shrugged and waved away the comment. "You will be in two days. The ceremony will take place in the morning. Anyone that either of you wish to have attend better be informed so that they might arrive."
The Prince of Myena nodded to this while The Princess scowled some more. "Now, there is just one more thing I wish to talk to you two about before I let you go about your day." The King said rather importantly. "I have been thinking and I say that the dowry that I have said I am giving you is far too much. I can't give you all that."
Relena's heart sank as she thought of her mother's few personal possessions that were given to her.
Heero on the other hand looked rather pale. His skin must have turned a milky color before he found his voice to speak. "Sir?" He said rather stiffly. "What will you be allowing us to have your highness?"
"Well," The King took another sip of his drink, and motioned for the servant to fill it up. "She can have everything I promised except for some. And that will consist of her carriage, horse, personal maids, jewelry, and the things I had previously promised for the baby you two will have." He grunted while yawning. "Other than that, she can have her personal things, and her expensive clothing of course."
Letting out a strangled cry Lord Heero tried to keep his wits about him. The King must have caught on what Heero was going to say so he spoke first. "I think, with a Kingdom as wealthy as yours that you wouldn't have a problem with this. Shurly you would want to equip your wife with far better horses, carriages, jewelry and what not." The Prince gave a dull nod. "Good lad." The King said smugly. "Now, you two leave me be. I have to go talk to the priest that you brought along."
Standing up the two left the room. Relena wanted to talk to the Prince, she had thought that after the day before the two were at least on talking terms, but as soon as he walked outside he and his two knights vanished down the corridor, deep in conversation.
"Your highness?" Ella asked walking up beside Relena. Princess Relena could see the question in Ella's eyes. But didn't feel like giving answers as to what went on inside just yet.
"I'm going for a walk Ella. Alone." Picking up the front of her skirts she headed off towards the gardens.

Relena Peace: Humm...I think that Myena is screwed unless something gets done. Hehehe....
Heero: "Duo, you have to do something quick."
Duo: "Yeah, I know." ::looks at his sword and smiles evilly:: "No problem...hehehe.."
WuFei: "Shut up Baka! You don't want to go and give the ending do you!" ::glares at Duo::
Relena Peace: "All three of you be quiet! Or else I'm going to have to pull out Relena. And she'll make all three of you be quiet!"
Heero and Duo: ::looks scared and vanishes::
WuFei: "I'm not afraid of no stinking women!" ::starts ranting on how inferior women are::
Relena: ::sneaks up behind WuFei in panties and underwear and slinks arm over his shoulder:: "You say something Nataku?"
WuFei: ::Sees what Relena is wearing, turns beat red, and sees Heero running towards him:: "Nooo!!"
Heero: "I said you can look but not touch!" ::Pulls out gun:: "It was meant for Duo AND you!"
WuFei: ::pisses in his pants and starts to run away, yelling something about injustice and unnas::
Heero: "Well, now that you're dressed for such an occasion lets put it to good use."
Relena: ::gives a smug grin:: "We're not married yet." ::Vanishes::
Heero: "I know I should have insisted on an early marriage..."
Okay People! Now that the cast has had their say on what's going on. I'd like to hear what you have to say! Review now people!!! ^_^"
