"Dreams"

Chapter 1

"The New Servant"

Mihara Chiharu walked through the spacious field of Emperor Yamazaki. He was the most talked about king everywhere, and now, she was working in his palace. But she wasn't that excited, for though he was talked about a lot, most of the talking was bad. Stuff about his cruelty to his son and his wife (of whom disappeared when there son was 4 ½ ).

Though she knew they were just rumors something told her that at least some of it was true. But she couldn't think about that now, she had to think about her new duties as one of the many servants of the emperor's son.

"Now, this is where we sleep," Naoko said as she opened the door to the on the first cabin in a row of them. "One bed for you, one for me. Both accompanied by a little desk to put papers and pictures in. Unfortunately there's only one closet and one bathroom, but then again, this is the only cabin that actually has an inside bathroom so, it's still good."

Chiharu looked around the room excitedly, this was to be her new home, at least for now.

Just as she started thinking about this a short girl with dirt blond hair and green eyes step through the door with the worst of expressions. She quickly opened the closet doors and pulled out three dresses, two pairs of shoes and a few shirts, sweaters, etc. After gathering all that she bent down and slid a small suitcase from under the bed which now belonged to Chiharu.

Once she had put all her stuff in the suitcase she slowly stood up and headed toward the door. When she got close enough to Naoko and Chiharu she gave Naoko a hug, whispered something and then glowered at Chiharu as she headed towards the machine.

After she disappeared from site Chiharu asked Naoko, "Who was that, and why did she look so, so upset?"

"That was Nakita Melina, she use to be in charge of the same thing that you are."

"Why, isn't she anymore?"

"Well, something happen and the king decided to marry her off though she didn't want to. Actually she would've run away if it hadn't been for…"

Chiharu, completely understanding what Naoko meant, thought upon what she had just learned then asked, "Does he do that to all of the servants?"

"No, I mean I've worked here for years and he still hasn't married me off, or the nurse, Sasaki-chan."

"Well, how long had she been here?"

"A few months."

Chiharu sat down on her bed and thought about this intently. I mean how could someone force you to get engaged and then when you don't want to gets you pregnant so you can't leave? That's just cruel.

Naoko seeing Chiharu's distress suggested that they go to the castle to meet the king. Though she was still a little freaked out she quickly jumped up, ran to the door and said, "Let's go, Yanagisawa-chan!"

Chiharu was amazed as she entered the palace. I mean it looked beautiful from the outside, but it looked magnificent from the inside. Chiharu could've spent hours just staring at the marble and jade that filled the building, but of course she was there to work, not to stare.

"Hmm, I wonder where he could be?" Naoko said after looking in a few rooms. "Yamazaki-sama! Yamazaki-sama, the new girl is here!"

"Stop yelling, Yanagisawa-chan," a tall, handsome boy(whose eyes were closed) said as he walked out of one of the many doors, "Yamazaki-sama isn't here, so whatever you have to tell him tell me because I'm now in charge. At least that's what he said."

"Are you sure about that, Yamazaki-kun. I mean Yamazaki-sama and you don't have that good of a relationship, and there's the fact that you do tell a lot of lies."

"I do not lie, I just-"See, you're lying right now saying that you don't lie so you do lie."

"Nani?"

"Nevermind," she said as she shook her head at him. "Anyway, I came here to introduce the new girl to Yamazaki-sama, but since he's not here I'll just introduce her to you.

Naoko slid to the side revealing Chiharu who bowed slightly. "Ohayo, my name is Yamazaki Takashi," the prince said with great enthusiasm, "and I'll be the one that you'll be helping."

"Ohayo Gozaimasu," she said as she bowed once more.

"Aw there's no need to bow to me, uuh-"Mihara. Mihara Chiharu."

"Ah, Mihara-chan. What a beautiful name."

"Arigatou," she said as her face turned a slight red.

"Yamazaki-san stop trying to flatter her."

"What, it is a beautiful name for one of the most beautiful girls I know," he said once again making Chiharu blush.

"Well who are the other girls?"

"Let's see out of the people here there's you, Sasaki-san, and even though they left Nakita-chan and my okaasan. For other people I know there's my aunt Yelan-sama, my cousin Meiling and I think that's about it."

"I see there have been a lot of beautiful women in your life," Chiharu joked as she recovered from her fluctuation.

"You're quite right, Mihara-san," Takashi replied to her, "and for that I think that this relationship is starting off to a good start.
