Chapter 2
Awkward Meetings Part IKai paced around in his grandfather's study.
"So, I'm to get married to Lord Robinson's daughter?" he asked irritated.
His grandfather, Voltaire, smirked and nodded. "With them as an alliance, we will defeat the Valkovs." He said.
Kai groaned and collapsed into his chair. The idea of marriage didn't really appeal to him right now.
"Was that the point of our meeting?" he asked now angrier than before.
Voltaire nodded. "Oh, and by the way, they are arriving tomorrow by noon."
"Who?" asked Kai.
"The Robinsons, Kai, your fiancée."
Kai scowled and walked out of the room. He found Ray, one of his loyal guards, standing outside his room.
"What's wrong, Kai?" he asked a bit concerned.
Kai sighed in frustration. "I'm....getting married." He stated.
Ray's golden eyes widened. "You're.. getting married?.. to whom?"
Kai entered his room as Ray followed him in. Kai sat on his bed as Ray sat on his chair.
"Lady Michelle Robinson."
Ray nodded. "I know who she is." He said.
Kai turned to look at him confused. "You know her? What do you mean you know her?"
Ray shrugged. "I mean I don't know her, but I've seen her. She's pretty beautiful and the people in her village say she's nice and caring."
Kai shrugged. "You've been to her village?"
Ray turned away. "Um, I'm friends with a maid working there." He said, his cheeks turning a little pink.
Kai smirked. "Friends?" he asked.
Now Ray blushed a scarlet color.
"So... who is she?" asked Kai.
Ray swallowed. "She's Lady Michelle Robinson's personal maid. The name's Mariah."
Michelle wrinkled her nose in disgust when the sun shone brightly in her eyes. She groaned and turned around putting the pillow above her head.
She heard a masculine chuckle and a female giggle. A very familiar female giggle.
She sat up quickly and narrowed her eyes searching for the giggle's owner. She found her beside her smirking brother.
She immediately rushed over to her, tripping with the bed sheets on the way and hitting her hip on the table.
She felt pain, but ignored it. She lunged at the girl.
"You're here!" Michelle grinned. "You're finally here!"
"I missed you, too!" she said.
Michelle took a look at the pink haired girl she was hugging.
"Mariah, where were you? I asked everyone here and nobody knew. I thought you had deserted me!" said Michelle with a small pout. The two girls burst out laughing. Michael just looked at them confused.
"Did I miss something?" he asked the two laughing girls with a raised eyebrow.
That made Michelle and Mariah laugh harder.
Mariah had pink hair and golden cat like eyes. She was Michelle's personal maid and had been her best friend ever since they met, which was when they were both young.
Then Michelle realized what day it was. The day to meet her future husband. She stopped laughing and sat in her bed looking at the floor sadly.
Mariah frowned. "What's wrong, Elle?" she asked concerned.
Michelle felt the tears sting her eyes. "I have to get married, Riah, married!" she cried out. And immediately the tears were running down her pink cheeks.
Mariah turned to look at Michael worried.
"Who are you marrying, Elle?" she asked.
Michelle looked up sadly. "Lord Kai Hiwatari"
"Well, that's not as bad!" she said. "Well, at least Ray doesn't think so...." She said more quieter.
Michelle looked up. "Ray?"
Mariah blushed. "His guard."
Michelle smirked but began sobbing again.
Michael kneeled in front of his crying sister. "Sis, it'll be ok? Right? You said so yesterday, Elle." He said worry evidently in his voice.
Michelle looked up at him with teary eyes. "I don't know, Mike, I don't know. I mean, what if he doesn't like me and... and.." she sobbed harder.
"Well, he'll surely not like you with those red bulgy eyes!" Mariah cried out.
Michelle turned to look at Mariah. She smiled at her.
"Come on, Elle, Let's get you looking more beautiful than you already are." She said.
Michelle snorted, but nodded.
"Oh, by the way, I bought you this." Said Michael handing her a wrapped box.
Michelle looked at him warmly. "Thank you, bro." She said hugging him.
She opened the box only to gasp out loud. It was a beautiful white dress, but in the bottom it was engulfed by a blue flame, but instead of the flame being made out of a blue cloth it had blue beads stitched to the white cloth.
"It's beautiful." Was all she could say.
"Now, turn around, Michael." Said Mariah.
Michael turned around as Mariah started clothing Michelle. She put on a corset and as she tightened Michelle gasped.
"God, It's really tight!" she mumbled.
Mariah and Michael chuckled.
Mariah put on the white/blue dress on. But as she put it her hand brushed against Michelle's hip.
Michelle gasped in pain. "Oww.."
"Is this from the fall you just had?" asked Mariah.
Michelle nodded and smiled sheepishly.
"Try not to hurt it more than it already is, ok?" She said eyeing the bruise that was forming.
"ok." Mumbled Michelle.
"Now, you're hair." Mariah sat her down in a stool and started doing her hair.
A few minutes later Michelle was ready to go. She looked at herself in the mirror and gaped.
The dress revealed a little more than she would have liked since the corset puffed out her breasts, but it still looked great on her. Her hair was tied in an elegant bun with two bangs framing her delicate face. On her hands she wore a pair of white gloves that reached her elbows. She was wearing a silver necklace with blue stones.
Michael turned to look at her. He smirked. "You look beautiful, Elle."
Mariah smiled proudly.
There was a knock on the door. "Come in!" said Michael.
Johnny came in and immediately gaped at Michelle. "Um...You're father..s-said the c-carriage was ready t-to go." He stuttered still looking at Michelle.
Michelle blushed and nodded. Then turned to look at Mariah, who was looking at her sadly.
"Um, I need a personal maid, you know." She mumbled hoping Mariah would agree.
Mariah grinned from ear to ear. "I'd loved to!" she exclaimed. Michelle smiled as they hugged each other.
"Come on." interrupted Michael.
The ride was about an hour and a half. She looked out the window to see her new home.
The castle was huge! It was even bigger than theirs. Michelle was nervous and couldn't stop her hands from fidgeting.
She felt a hand grab hers and she looked up into her father's eyes. He smiled at her and she smiled back nervously.
They came to a halt. And slowly they started to climb out of the carriage. Mariah walked right behind her. Michelle turned to look at her. She smiled sympathetically.
They walked right into the main entrance and she looked up as she saw an already old man and a young man beside him that had what looked like a guard behind him. She looked at him, as he looked right back at her. The same thought ringing to both their minds:
'Not bad'
