Chapter 17. The Wedding Plan
"Ooh Retasu !" the king chirped as he skipped around the castle walls.
Retasu was still a little mad at her father, but she didn't want to be rude so she answered as she met him
"What Daddy?" Retasu said ( feeling forced to do it )
"I have some good and bad news"
"What is it ?" Retasu said pretending to care.
"The bad news is that Masaya would be away from the castle for a few days"
"And?" Retasu said. Deep inside she felt happy, because he wouldn't be around the castle for a few days.
" The good news is that your wedding will be in 4 weeks!" The king said cheerfully.
'W-what? T-that fast. I'm g-going to be married in four weeks' Retasu said as she tried to hold her tears.
"W-what Daddy? That s-soon?.. But we only met for about 4 months"
"Ohh... but I'm sure you already know each other quite well. In fact Masaya himself told me that you two wanted to get married"
"... but.." Retasu said lost for words.
"Well you know, Retasu, the sooner the better" the king winked,
Retasu was speechless, as she held her tears , pretending to be happy.
"Here is your wedding planner" he handed Retasu a piece of paper .
On the paper wrote the most disgusted words 'The wedding of Prince Masaya Aoyama and Princess Mirodikawa Retasu'
Retasu received the paper with her eyes ready to burst in tears.
"Now run along" The king said. He left Retasu to run to her room .
She let her tears out.
Ryou was the only thing that crossed Retasu's mind as she wet her pillow with miserable tears .
She took the piece of paper and tore it to tiny pieces and threw it out the window. The pieces were blown by the wind.
Ryou was walking on the market place. People were laughing at him because he was an ex best friend of one of the most popular princes, in the whole kingdom. And now he was walking around the marketplace because he was banned out from the castle for having a secret relationship with Prince Masaya's fiancee.
Ryou just ignored them and thought of plans to get Retasu out of that miserable life, when pieces of paper flew on his face.
Ryou was suprised but he took the paper and there were writings on it.
The tiny piece wrote ''wedding of Prince Masaya Aoyama and Princess Mirodikawa Retasu"
Ryou became even more suprised.
Ryou was scared that they would get married soon.
But he was more scared that Retasu might break down and cry.
It tortured him that everytime he came to visit her at night, she would cry.
He couldn't stand it anymore. He went to the castle. And waited patiently for the darkness of night.
