His Highness

Should I be worried? Is something wrong with her? What if she's in troub... He shook his head clearing his mind of any remaining thoughts on the topic. He had a meeting to attend and he couldn't afford to keep drifting off, but his thoughts refused to set him free. All he could was think about Hitomi.



He sighed when he noticed he had walked all the way to the north side of the castle when he was supposed to be in the east wing. Today just wasn't going to be his day. He turned around, forcefully setting his mind on work that had to be done. He couldn't help but glance out of the hallway window and look to the sky, even though it was daytime and the sun was shining bright and everything in the sky was out of sky, he looked to the direction of the Mystic Moon. He sighed once again and was on his way.



Tears wouldn't stop flowing. She sniffed, wiped her eyes, closed them tightly, she did everything she could, but her thoughts only remained on him. What if he is married. What if he has kids. I can't just barge in there and announce myself. She stood up, tears still running down her face. She finally looked over to the old woman who was still standing there. Her face was full of confusion. Great, she probably thinks I'm insane. She smiled to herself, she probably was crazy. "I apologize for my behavior ma'am, I wasn't really in the best state of mind right then." The old woman looked up at teary eyed Hitomi. "Well, I guess I would be too, if I had just fallen out of the sky."



Hitomi smiled. "Well, you are a very understanding person, ma'am." "Please call me Tsuska." The old woman told her, a warm motherly smile played upon her lips. A look of bewilderment suddenly spread on the womans face. "If you do not mind my asking, who are you and were did you actually come from?" She knew the answer, it was in the back of her mind, but she forbidded herself to believe it until she heard it from the young girl's mouth.



Hitomi smiled at the old woman who was standing before her still clutching her skirt full of sticks. Hitomi dodged the question for a moment. "It looks like you were doing something before I dropped in." She mentioned towards the wood." The old woman looked down at her skirt. "Oh dear I completely forgot." The corners of her lips turned down creating a frown. It had gotten late and her grandchildren and husband were more than likely freezing by now. She struggled with the load in her arm toward her home. She stopped in her tracks and looked back to the sandy haired girl, who was standing there in the freezing cold with a short black skirt and a long black cloak looking quite lost and alone.



"I don't know if you have any place to be, but if you wouldn't mind helping me with my firewood maybe we could continue our conversation over a warm fire." Hitomi's face displayed gratefulness immediately. "I would love to ma'...Tsuska."



"Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah" He couldn't handle it anymore if he heard one more thing about the upcoming wedding of Celena Shezar and Drydan Fassa he would go insane. For the past two weeks that was all his counsil's concern. He knew he had to attend, there was no way for him to get out of this. Fanelia was rebuilt, from ground up so he couldn't use having to deal with construction as an accuse and at that moment any others seamed to escape him.



He decided he would just have to attend what would surely be another stuffy affair, even if it was one of his closests friends wedding. He would love to congradulate Dryden when he finally tied the not, but not infront of hundreds of royals. He was never that big on being in crowds. He would be more happy on his own or with Hito... He sighed heavily catching the attention of the entire board.



"Your magesty, does that decision please you?" Van rolled his eyes they were more than likely talking about the security for the trip to Austria. He stood up in his chair, every eye following his moves. "Gentlemen and ladies" he nodded towards his only two female advisors. "I will give the liberty to you to continue the planning for the trip to Austria. Any further decisions may be made without me." He could tell they were about to protest. "That is my final decision on the subject, now if you don't mind I bid you goodday. He pushed in his chair and walked out the large double doors.
