Chapter 3
The Engagement Ball
Both Fuuko and Recca grew up in the company of one another. They became closer after Kurei's wedding. They played together and studied together. They also played pranks together on their unsuspecting preys. They didn't even notice that they both grew up.
Fuuko changed a lot from the tomboy who did every man-thing better than a man to a petite girl of seventeen. Though her body structure has changed to that of a woman, her attitude didn't. She still didn't like to wear dresses or make-ups but her manners sure improved.... in front of her father.
"Whoaaaaaaa!" a young girl crashed into a ladder.
"Princess, are you alright?" said the man occupying the ladder.
The princess shook her head and replied, "I-I think so. What in the world are you doing up there?"
"We're preparing for the ball. Didn't you're father tell you?"
"I guess he tried but...."
"You were excited visit your garden, right?" The man finished for her.
"Yeah. Anyway, do you know where Recca is? I've been looking for him all over and I still can't find him."
"Princess!"
Fuuko turned around to see her personal maid tapping her foot on the floor.
"Princess, you were supposed to stay put. How can we finish the fitting if you wouldn't?"
"I'm sorry." Fuuko sheepishly said. "It is just that I can't understand why I have to were that thing anyway."
"A ball is going to be held. This is supposed to be your first ball and your father wanted you to dress nicely."
"How come Recca doesn't have to wear something nice for a stupid ball!!!"
"Prince Recca is also being fitted for his clothes. Ok."
"Fine." She huffed back to her room.
***
"Is it already finished?" asked an impatient princess.
"Almost."
"Princess, hold still or we will never be finished."
Afraid by this, Fuuko stood perfectly still. A few minutes later, everything was all done. She went straight to Recca's room.
***
"Where is that damn Recca? He promised me he would stay with me so that no baka prince will dance with me. If I get my hands on him..." Fuuko was unable to finish her sentence as she saw a spiky haired boy dancing the night away with a beautiful brown-haired angel.
"Recca? Dancing?" she laughed so hard that all eyes fell upon her.
She blushed from embarrassment as she noticed this and excused herself when she noticed that Recca and his dance partner went to the refreshment stand.
"Recca, I see you got yourself a girlfriend." Teased Fuuko as the two blushed redder than a tomato.
"Yanagi, this is Fuuko, my annoying friend." introduced Recca recovering from his blushing.
"Nice to meet you, Yanagi." Fuuko said extending her hand.
"Same here."
"King Reishi and King Fumio has something to say!!!" a man said.
King Reishi got up from his seat and went to front. "As you all know, this ball is for my son. Recca is almost eighteen and I have made a decision regarding his future."
As the king said this Fuuko nudged Recca.
"This ball is for the official engagement of my son, Recca, to my great friend's daughter, Fuuko. Will their union be fruitful!!!"
Both Recca and Fuuko were shocked. Recca accidentally dropped the cup of champagne he held in his hands and just stared ahead to where his father stood.
