Chapter 6. Is it really you?

Retasu looked straight at his eyes, and asked with anxious eyes.

"Figure? Is it really you?"

Ryou turned back and looked at her. It was written all over her face "I don't want him to be my Prince "

Ryou said "H-How did you know?". He looked at her.

Retasu's heart was filled with despair.

'Have I fallen in love, with ... my fiancee's ..best friend' she thought. Tears slowly strolled down her face. She cried. She knew if she fell in love with him and if he fell in love with her, they would never be able to get married because Retasu was engaged. She continued to cry.

Ryou didn't bother, and walked away, disappointed at her reaction. He walked away slowly... leaving sad tears fall from Retasu face.

Retasu on the other hand ran away, to her room looking for Minto. She barged in her room and hot tears continued to drip from her wet eyes down to her fluffy pillow. A few minutes later Minto came, worried, and suprised.

She was suprised because Retasu was crying. She hugged her and waited for her to stop crying in her arms.

"What happened Retasu?" Minto asked anxiously

"Minto-san. I-I-I .. have fallen in l-love w-with .. my fiancee's ..."

"Oh that's okay Retasu. You're gonna marry him anyway." Minto said trying to comfort her.

"My fiancee's... best friend" Retasu continued to cry

Now Minto understood everything.

"W-what?" she hesitated.

"I fell in love with my fiancee's best friend Minto-san...My fiancee's best friend!"

"Shh.." Minto said as she let her finish crying...

Retasu slept into Minto's lap after all the crying. But there were tears dripping from her eyes even then. Minto tried her best to put Retasu on her bed but she was too heavy.

Minto tried and tried when somebody knocked,

"Excuse me, Princess?" a voice said. It was Masaya as he walked in her room.

Minto who didn't hear him stayed still and out of breath.

"Excuse me, miss, are you okay?" he offered a hand to Minto.

Minto looked up at his eyes as she blushed.

Minto smiled at him and nodded. Her heart beating faster and faster.

Masaya carried Retasu and slowly put her on the bed. He covered her with her green, silky blanket. Minto watched and blushed. But Masaya didn't look at Minto. Minto looked deeply into his eyes from afar as her cheeks turned hotter by the second and her heart started beating faster. She turned her head around and headed out for the door.

Masaya looked at his fiancee without noticing a dark shadow watching him from the door of Retasu's room.

He kissed Retasu on the forehead and said "I love you, Retasu, I'm glad you're my fiancee"

Ryou, who was watching outside felt like giving up and disappointed but he didn't because he loves Retasu also, and he will do anything to get her, even if it means to fight his best friend.
