Relena blinked, took in a deep breath, then blinked again. What did he say? No, she didn't need to ask. She heard what he said. She just wished that she didn't hear what he had said. Her eyes started to water as she let his words sink in. Slowly, very slowly. But they did sink in.
'I'm not the Prince of Myena. I am not WuFei Chang. I am only a humble Knight that was sent here to trick you and your father into thinking I was the Prince. And to marry you.' Relena's mind numbly went over his words. 'I'm not the Prince of Myena...' '..sent here to trick you..' Relena's face started to flush hot red. Trick her! He's only a knight sent here to trick her! Of all the nerve!
Turning around towards him Relena's hand lashed out and collided with the side of Heero's face. He flinched from the impact. "How could you?" She said, barely above a whisper. "Right when I finally trusted you and decided to agree with this marriage, you..you! OHHHHH!!" Stubbornly Relena sat down on the chair beside her.
After the walk to town Heero and Relena went inside to talk. They were now in the library, a place that Heero saw fit to talk. They wouldn't have any disruptions there.
"I'm sorry your highness." He said quietly. "But please, let me explain. I.."
"No!" Relena shouted, crossing her arms in front of her. "You lied to me! That is totally unforgivable!"
Heero let out a low growl. "I had to your highness. Please, let me explain. I am sure that after I do you will understand."
Relena turned her narrowed eyes on him. But said nothing. Heero took this as permission for him to speak and did so. So, he spent the next good half hour telling Princess Relena everything. About the Kingdom and its poverty, about how Prince WuFei loves someone whom King Chang hates, how Heero is a first cousin and a Lord, about the trip to the castle, and most of all about the plans to save his kingdom.
"You said that if you could you'd try to help all of the kingdoms that were suffering poverty and pain. Princess Relena," Lord Heero knelt beside her, looking up into her face. "This is the perfect chance. With the help of the money from your treasury we can save two kingdoms."
Relena had to admit that she was touched by the story. And it did make a lot of sense, giving a perfect excuse as to why they had deceived her. But still, she could not help but be angry and upset at the fact that the man that she was supposed to marry wasn't the same man at all. But his cousin! And not a Prince! He was only a Lord!
"I can't marry you." Relena said quietly. "You are but a Lord. And once my father finds out he'll.."
"No!" Heero almost shouted. He quickly looked around then lowered his voice. "Please, you must not tell your father. He will shurly kill us. I beg you, Relena, please.."
"It's Princess Relena to you, Sir." Relena said with a sharp tongue. "Remember your station. I'm a Princess, while you are a Lord. I shall be treated with the proper respect."
Heero flinched. Her words stung sharper than her slap had. He looked up again at Relena's face. She had pain, agonizing pain in her eyes. But her face showed no emotion. It was a hard stone. Her lips pressed firmly together, she stood. "I will not tell my father. Not yet at least. But I do wish to talk to the Prince of Myena." She glared at Heero as he rose. "The real Prince of Myena. Escort me to him at once."
Dully Heero led the way out of the room and towards his chambers where Sir Duo and Prince WuFei were. Knocking slightly on the door Heero and Princess were greeted with Sir Duo opening. "You tell her?" He said, cautiously looking at the two. Prince Heero looked defeated, which never happened. And Princess Relena's eyes looked as if she was about to cry, but her face looked as if she was about to kill someone.
"Just let us in Maxwell." Heero said pushing his way inside past the Knight.
Duo shook his head as he watched the two enter the room. It was going to be very interesting, finding what the Princess had to say now that she knew. Duo crossed his fingers. With hope, the gods would be on their side. Making a silent prayer he sat down at the small table that Heero and Princess Relena had just placed themselves at, along with Prince WuFei.
Relena regarded Prince WuFei for a moment before nodding her head in a slight bow. "Your highness."
