Chapter Three:

"Princess Mami continues this, nevertheless the people also continue revolting. She really needs industrialization, but it's simply unjust to use the natural resources." Yamato diplomatically said, and smiled as it erases the serious gesture. "Yuuya, that opinion talk is good!"

"We also need to discuss that, your highness." Yuuya said.

"I liked your way of thinking about it. I think you're a much better ruler than a knight!" Yamato exclaimed admiringly.

"Yamato," Miyu sweetly called. "You said to me you're taking me to the jamboree this evening…" she clings to him.

"Ah! Why won't I forget about that? It's at the intersection of the 3 kingdom's borders… I know many royal and mediocre people will come and see it."

"The jamboree," Yuuya thought. "I wonder if Princess Ran has someone with her tonight…"

"Hey! Masato…" Princess Sayo called. "Come and find me!!!"

Yuuya laughed at the kids playing detective again. He likes kids and wants a younger sister or brother.

Family… that word. Forget it. I never met them… so why would I think of them?

Princess Mami took no hesitation in going to Rei to ask him to escort her in the jamboree. She went to Rei's favorite place, and was shocked when she saw Aya with him, as they were chuckling about some stories Rei was telling Aya. On the way she can see it, they are sweet.

"Hmm… ah, tonight... are you going to the Jamboree, Aya?" Rei suddenly blurted. Aya looked at him straight.

"Me?" she asked, and then blushed. "Um…"

"I can accompany you, besides… I'm not going with anybody." He said out of the blue. "Would you go with me…?"

Aya smiled. "W-why not…?"

Rei stood up and reached out his hand for Aya.

"Its nightfall… shall we?"

Mami angrily watched the two of them. While Shui, watches them with glee.

"Aya must've found her knight in shining armor… she's a lady now…"

Lights. Many colorful lights. Trees too, are lighted with different colors. Stalls… people… children, they are happy; flowers… couples… and…

Rei?!

"Well?" Rei asked "how do you find this year's jamboree?"

"Ex-exciting, fun… wonderful…" she told him. "Especially when I'm with…"

When I'm with you…

"You told me you've never been here," Rei said "the princess mustn't have allowed you."


"Only these times I was allowed. Maybe the princess has lots of business to do, and even the revolt is a pain for her," she said sadly.

"Don't mind her now. Just enjoy the night, Aya. We've got lots of this to do!" Rei smiled at her and took her hand. Together they walked and watched some of the entertainment prepared for the Royals.

Aya was happy that she sees Rei fully entertained at the show. Rei is usually cold and emotionless, and only that show made him laugh intensely; and at Aya's side.

"Wait, I'll just buy some food," Rei said and left.

Aya, on the contrary saw Princess Ran sitting beside her little sister, wit Yuuya at their side. Aya quickly waves her hand and Princess Ran comes to her.

"Aya! Who is with you tonight?" Ran asked her as she catches her breath.

"Rei, your highness. He is one of the knights in our kingdom."

"I perceive," she said "you have a rendezvous tonight. Well, I think you need… a bit makeover…"

Rei arrived and bowed down.

"Good evening, royal princess Ran of Ruby Kingdom."

"Can I borrow Aya for a while?" Ran said. "Just… go with Yuuya first. Don't worry, he'll keep you company while we're out."

The two girls tarried together and now were out of sight. Yuuya sighed, and then turned to Rei.

"You're lucky that you have Aya as your rendezvous tonight," Yuuya began "I made a pale excuse to have Princess Ran tonight, to be her guard. Bu unfortunately, little Princess Sayo came along, and I didn't have the chance."

"A rendezvous? Oh, yeah. I asked Aya to go with me. I want her to enjoy this night. To be free from worries and from her hard work at Princess Mami's side." Rei replied. "I don't like her to live her life under the princess's stubborn and stone-hearted ways."

While Princess Ran tries out some of her dresses at the stagecoach for her to wear.

"Princess, you don't need to actually…"

Princess Ran pointed her fingers to her lips.

"Don't say anything. I want my friend to look best. Besides tonight is your night. I want to make you up into something more beautiful, and to release your hidden physical beauty." Ran told her. She smiled. "Tonight, you're Princess Aya."

She smiled at the kindness she's showing her. Her friendship is serious, and she really is good. After sometime, they came out. Rei was surprised when the plain Aya he knew was turned into a beautiful, elaborated Princess.

"Rei, a knight of Sapphire Kingdom, meet Princess Aya, the real princess…" Ran smiled at them, and let Aya walk towards Rei. Ran and Yuuya exited, so that they would have time together.

"Umm.. Rei, how do I look?"

"Very… very attractive, Aya…" he replied. "My Princess,"

"You… actually called me-- " she paused. "a-- come again?"

"You are a princess, indeed, Aya. So my Princess, shall we go now and watch the awaited fireworks?"

She nodded, and then the both of them walked together, hand in hand. Ran clapped at this, because she made a friend of her happy.

"Love really does all…" she said "hmmm,,,"

"That's why I am a fool for you…" Yuuya replied to himself. He smiled, that at least he is with her beloved princess. He just quietly stays beside her, and watches the star… and then saw an approaching falling star. Then he remembered something…

"Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket…" a woman was telling.

She is beautiful, with that long jet black hair that falls limp on her shoulders. And she looks like Aya. Another girl is located beside her, and the background is a night sky which is peaceful…

"Hey, Yuuya! Did you see that?" Ran asked him as she runs to him. Yuuya did catch it through his open fist, and closed it immediately. He placed it in his pocket, and wished.

"What did you just do?" Ran asked as she curiously stares at his undertaking. Then Yuuya smiled at her, and quoted the exact words he recalled from that beautiful woman.

"Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, and then make a wish." he explained.

"Hmmm... what would I want," Ran thought. "I think I need a man who will love me ceaselessly."

"I'm just here, Princess Ran…" Yuuya wanted to tell her. But he simply can't.

"I can't believe that I would wear these jewels and dress… the shoes and everything the princess lends me."

"But that fits you right Aya. You must be the one wearing all the stuff Mami has." Rei said to her frankly. "I actually don't like her character. You are more princess-like than the one who was trained for years and the one who lived an extravagant life."

"Whatever happens, I will still be glad to serve the princess till I pass away…" she vowed.

"What a solemn vow," Rei said "if I would be given a chance, I'll probably take you out to the castle… to live with me away the hands of that stubborn girl"

"Wow, I won't think that a cold-character guy like Rei would tell an ordinary maid… some things like that… what I've heard from his truthful lips of chivalry…"

"Anyway, let's set aside those thoughts of her, my princess." Rei said courteously. "From now on, I'll call you the way that fits you."

"But-- you" Aya said "don't truly…"

"For me, you're the most beautiful and kind princess I'll be willing to serve eternally with all my life and strength." He said romantically. Aya was swept by those words, even said nonchalantly, but in fact, true…

Striking words that he mentioned: do they mean something? Now friendship was built. A friendship that will grew stronger as days passes by; the lasting bond that connects 2 lonesome hearts that combine in a loop called LOVE.

"The duke and duchess already arrived!" Shui called out to everybody. They gave them a warm welcome from the outside of the palace.

"And where's that stoop Aya once again! She didn't…" she stopped when the disgusted-like face of her relatives shown up, disappointed on the way she speaks and act.

"You never changed, Mami." They said. "that stubborn attitude…"

She cringed because of shame.

"I'm so sorry about it, aunt… I was just pestered by the anxious and silly maid I have!" she replied angrily "well, those matters mustn't be discussed, right? Now what did you go here for?"

"We have to say something about the investigation about your lost older brother. We need to find him to be the next king." His uncle said "we won't probably allow a girl ruler here. We need to find him"

"But the fact that I can run this is true!" she cried "you know I won't fail my duties!"

"What can you say about the revolt?" her aunt replied coldly.

Aya and Rei arrived at the palace and Mami angrily welcomed the maid.

"Where have you been and why are you dressed weirdly? Who did a fashion massacre on you? You don't look good! Go away! You suck with that…"

SLAP!!!

"Mami! I order you to stop that abusive language!" her aunt released her hand. "Learn your lesson to treat others as they should be treated!"

She turned to Aya.

"Young lady, I am sorry for that." She said sweetly. "On the other hand… you really look exactly as Mami's mother when I dressed her for her first date with the king…"

"I… do?" she asked "thank you ma'am, but unfortunately, I live a life to serve the dear Princess Mami."

"I think you are more likely to be princess: a dignified and courteous girl, demure and gentle in her ways…"

She bowed down, and Mami left in disgust.

"This shouldn't be happening! Why does this plain girl be favored all the time! I amt he princess here! And I am defeated? Hah! Even the guy I want likes her! I should do something!" she cried to herself…

Princess Mami can't accept the difference insisted between her and Aya: the difference of personality and an undoubted beauty that lies within Aya: in heart and in physical aspects…

***to be continued!***

Closing Remarks: I'm sad at the not supposedly end between Aya and Rei's relationship!!! Wahhh!!!*cries out loud*
