Jess: for quite a while I've been planning on writing this story which I have promised to. compared to my first ever digimon fic "Loving Your Enemy", this fic is totally different. the settings, the plot, the storyline... all of which will capture your attention as well as your heart. the story is set during a time when there are such things as kings, queens, princes and princesses etc.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Princess Mimi was betrothed to Prince Matt. but Prince Matt doesn't like the whole idea at all. is it too late to appreciate that someone who had been quietly showing her affections, until she decides to leave you? this is a heart-aching, yet at the same time, heart-warming story that every Mimato fan should never miss!

Chapter 1
"Oh, Princess! Please stop moving around so much. I must get you ready or the King won't be please with you!" Mimi sighed but knew she had to cooperate with her hand-maid, Yuri. "Yuri... I-I just don't get it. I mean, isn't it true that any female should have the right to find her own true love? I don't see a point in father's decision! How can he expect me to love someone, let alone spend the rest of my life with him, when I bearly know him? Is my own opinion at the least of importance to father? I-" Mimi was not ready to finish when Yuri cut her off, "Surely, Princess, you ought to stop complaining... I'm sure the King has your best interest at heart. Now, I've chosen this lovely sky-blue gown for you. You better start putting it on now."
Mimi knew better than to defy her father's efforts at arranging this betrothal but she still felt that her excuse was good enough not to be ignored. She heaved a long sigh then turned to look at Yuri, who was holding up a beautiful, long, sky-blue gown that would bare at her shoulders. "Oh well... alright," she said as Yuri smiled and handed the gown to her.

"It's such a pleasure to see you, King Ishida!" King Tachikawa's faint wrinkles at his eyes cringed as he laughed heartedly as though King Ishida was his best partner during his childhood years. But of course, he wasn't. There was certainly conditions and agreements the both kings had settled between them to result in the final stage of linking both kingdom together in a friendly tie. "No, King Tachikawa. It is I who takes on this pleasure of seeing you!" King Ishida answered. "Well, I say it's mutual then, King Ishida. I'm glad that you have brought your son, Prince Yamato, I presume?" King Tachikawa started. King Ishida nodded and smiled as he placed a hand on his son as though proudly publisizing him. "Yes, he is my son, Yamato. Isn't he fine? As a father, I am very proud to have a son like him. I'd never thought he could so easily master the highly established skills of military approaches. I say, he is gifted with such talents!" King Ishida continues to praise his son boldly. "Yes, yes. I must agree! An extrodinary gentlemen indeed! I didn't expect such intelligence even at such a young age! Surely, he must have his father to thank." King Tachikawa said.
There was a moment of silence as the three sat at the large table in King Tachikawa's spacious dining hall. "Oh, King Ishida! If you may excuse me for a while..." King Tachikawa raised himself from his seat and went to ask someone to call upon Yuri. Yuri rushed hurriedly to see the King. "Yuri, what's been taking Princess Mimi so long? You know it's not right for me to keep others waiting, isn't it?" He said. Yuri bowed in respect and answered, "Yes sir, I understand. The princess will be ready very soon. I'm sure she's done already." "Good. Please escort her down as soon as possible. You may leave."
"Haha! Sorry about that. I had to persuade my daughter. You know, sometimes she's very shy about such things. If I'm not wrong, it's only her first time, you see! Not to worry, she'll be here very soon!" King Tachikawa said, hoping to stall some time. "That's all right. I understand. So, let's talk about your daughter. Frankly, I've only seen her once," King Ishida stated. "Oh yes! My lovely daughter... Perhaps almost similar to your son, she takes on the gift in politics. She's currently learning several other languages and many other subjects. She's extremely good in the knowledge of how to rule a kingdom, I'm sure she'll make a very good queen when she grows older," King Tachikawa said. "Oh, definately! I've heard a lot of pleasent things about her from other Kings, I must say!"

"Now, just look at you!" Yuri exclaimed excitedly. "Aren't you the most beautiful?" Mimi could only stare at her reflection blankly in the full-length mirror in her room. "Come on now, Princess. You know you look lovely. All you need is to smile! Surely, it's not very ideal to sulk when you meet your betroth, right?" Yuri tried persuading her young mistress. Mimi stared at her reflection again, taking in the details on her body. The dress suited her perfectly. While it bared her shoulders and hugs her waist, it only served to accentuate her curves. Yuri did a very good job in braiding her long, chestnut-brown hair into a thick and slightly loose braid that hung down her back, lengthening pass her waist by a bit. Her usual tiara was replaced with a thin piece of silver ring that rests on her head fittingly. Yes, Mimi knew she looked splendid, but she wasn't much in the mood of dressing up. "Now, I feel absolutely honored that you like the way I have dressed you up, Princess... but I must tell you that if you don't stop admiring yourself in the mirror, your father will be very upset." Yuri's words broke her train of thoughts. Mimi blinked twice before realising what Yuri meant and said, "Oh! Yes. I think I've been taking too much of time. Quickly, Yuri! Let's go!"
* * *
"Now, I wonder what's taking that daughter of mine that long! I must apologise indeed-" King Tachikawa was so to say when the melodious voice of his daughter caught his ears. "Father..." Mimi greeted as she walked down the steps elegantly with Yuri by her side. "Ah! There you are my princess! Father has been speaking of you to King Ishida and his son, Prince Yamato," the King said, smilingly. Soon, Mimi reached the foot of the stairs and walked towards the dinner table to her seat right next to her father. "King Ishida. Prince Yamato. I apologise for my late entrance. It is truly my pleasure in meeting the both of you." Mimi started as she gave a small respectful bow.
"Ah! Yes, I'm sure I feel the same in meeting you too, Princess Mimi. King Tachikawa! Indeed, your daughter has been taught perfect manners! I'm very impressed." King Ishida praised. Mimi smiled graciously then turned her attention to Prince Yamato, her betroth. Words could probably never describe the twisted emotions twirling inside her when she first laid eyes on the prince. Prince Yamato was very handsome and striking in his appearance. His blonde hair seems to match attractively with his cold blue eyes... those eyes that Princess Mimi felt so hard to tear her gaze away from. "It is rude of me not to introduce myself to you," Prince Yamato suddenly spoke, "I'm Prince Yamato. Son of King Ishida. It is nice meeting you, Princess." After that, he did a similar bow. Mimi nodded and took her seat...
