Robin woke up around ten; she felt Amon's warmth next to her and inside of her. She opened her eyes and saw he was still asleep. Robin brushed some of the hair out of his face; she let her hand explore his face a little. She caressed his cheek and Amon opened his eyes. Robin pulled her hand back, but he gently grabbed her wrist and kissed her hand. Then he kissed her lips, his arms encircling her waist and her arms going around his neck. When they broke apart for air, she smiled up at him.
"Good morning Robin." he said and gave her a light kiss again.
"Good morning, you know I think I like waking up this way." She said and he smiled at her. After a few more minutes of kissing and cuddling, they got up. Robin put on her usual black dress and Amon put on his usual clothes. They got their things together, ate breakfast and left. As they rode, Amon explained to Robin that they had a week left before they would be at the Palace. Robin wasn't sure she wanted to end their trip so soon, but she couldn't do anything about it.
The Royal Palace.
Prince Syunji was sitting with his old father, the King. They were waiting for Lord messenger. Prince Syunji was pisst off at his father and the King was ignoring his son's attitude.
"Syunji, I think this is best. When your son is old enough to marry, you are going to find a suitable bride for him." His father said. Syunji just scoffed. There was a knock on the door the two men looked up.
"Enter." Raven walked into the room, following her was the messenger.
"Lady Raven, you look positively lovely today." The king said, Raven blushed and curtseyed gracefully.
"Your Highnesses. Sir Lance, the messenger is here." Raven said and she left them to talk amongst themselves.
"My Lords, here is the marriage offer from Lord Zaizen." The man said bowing. Nagira felt the urge to kill his father.
"Lord Zaizen?" Syunji asked aloud.
"Yes, his daughter Touko is the perfect match for your brother. Now Sir Lance, let me see it." the King said and looked it over. For a half hour the King and Sir Lance made offers. At last they settled and the man left.
Nagira left the chamber pisst off. He went to his privet quarters. There his wife Miho was sitting with their son; she was singing a lullaby to him. He went over to her and kissed her. When he kissed her she felt his mix of emotions.
"Dear what is wrong?" she asked.
"It's my father, he is going to have Amon marry Touko." He said, sitting down next to his wife. She turned to him and put her hand on his shoulder, reassuring him.
"Syunji, why is he doing that, doesn't your brother hate Touko?" she asked.
"Yeah, but father does not care. He thinks this will be good for Amon. What do you think will happen when Amon finds out? Because if what I think is going to happen, you, our son and I will be leaving for a few days." He said, trying to smile.
"Well, maybe we can think of a way to get him out of it. Besides that, Robin is going to be heart broken; Raven said her sister told her she is in love with Amon." Miho said.
"Speaking of Raven, where is she?" Syunji asked.
"She left an hour ago to some place with Yurika. They asked me to come, but I didn't feel well. I promised them I would not say where, and you're not going to try and pry it out. Or else thou shall be sleeping alone." Miho said. He husband smiled at her and she kissed him.
A small village near the Palace.
Raven and Yurika were sitting in the small cottage of Mae Long, a witch who could help Yurika. Yurika liked down, her under dress pulled up so Mae could see her stomach. Raven was next to the older woman who was spreading a thick mixture of herbs on Yurika's stomach. She was saying something in Chinese and Yurika was a little worried. She squeezed Raven's had a little and Raven gave her a reassuring smile.
"Ah, I see what's wrong." The woman said with a smile. The two younger girls looked at her with anxious eyes.
"Its not serious is it?" Yurika asked. The woman looked at her as she cleaned off the herbs.
"No my dear, it is far from that. You'll be ready by the fall." She said.
"Do you mean I'm..." Yurika trailed off as she sat up.
"Yes dear, you are pregnant. I'm not sure what sex it will be, but it will be ready in the late fall. Now what about you Raven? Do you have anything you would like me to check out?" the woman asked looking over Raven.
"No, I'm fine. But we should get back. We'll be back in a month." Raven said as she helped a dazed Yurika dress.
"Of course. Make sure your friend drinks plenty of the herbal tea I give you." The woman said as Raven paid her the bill.
"Yes, thank you again." Raven said, bowing. Yurika snapped out of her dazed.
"Thank you, I can't believe it. I can't wait to tell my husband. Thank you!" Yurika said hugging the Chinese woman.
"It is no problem dear. Just take the herbal tea and you will be fine. I shall see you both in a month." The woman said as the two girls put their cloaks on and they nodded and left.
Later that night.
Raven sat down on her bed, getting ready to sleep. It had been pretty exciting when they came back Yurika and her husband Haruto were busy 'celebrating' their good news. Prince Syunji had told her about the marriage news; she broke a window and froze all of the water in a hundred feet. Raven had taken a long, hot and relaxing bath, but it didn't help to ease the tension in her body. For once Raven had clothing on, although it was just a shift. She brushed her hair, thinking about how her sister was going to take the news. She had a long and tiring conversation with her sister two days ago. Her sister had told her about the festival, the archery contest, and her 'marriage' to Amon, and her wedding night. She had smiled the way her sister's mind voice was so happy when she had said all that. But now she was sad, her sister would be heart broken. Raven was brought out of her thoughts when she heard a sound coming from her door. She looked up and Micheal was standing there. He was in black pants, white shirt, and black over shirt and a dark green cloak over him.
"Micheal..." she said as she stood up and he walked over to her. His arms went around her waist as he kissed her on the lips. They kissed for a few minutes until they had to break for air. Raven looked up at him; her eyes had tears in them.
'Why the hell am I crying? Is it that time of the month?' Raven thought to herself.
"Raven, why are you crying?" he asked as he wiped a tear away.
"I've no idea, but Micheal, how do I tell my sister the man she loves can never marry her? I have the perfect life, I have many things I never thought I would ever had." she cried into his chest.
"Shh, it's going to be okay. I promise we'll find a way to help your sister. Everything will work out, I am sure." He said stroking her back. It hurt him to see his Raven like this. In the last year he had seen her cry once, and only once. He never wanted her to cry, it ripped out his heart when he saw her like this. Micheal put his cloak around Raven's shivering form and let her cry. A little while later, Raven's knees gave out, she started to fall, but Micheal caught her. He put laid her on her bed and she pulled him down next to her.
"Micheal, don't leave me tonight, please. I don't want to be alone." She said softly into his shirt. Micheal wrapped the cloak around them both and kissed her forehead.
"I'll be here all night, I promise not to leave you." He said. She closed her eyes and thanked every god and goddess she could think of for giving her Micheal.
Mean while, at a medium size castle.
Lord Zaizen was in his study, waiting for his spy and his messengers to come. His spy, Lucas had seen Amon in the village known as Rose Village and said he was with a female companion. Lord Zaizen wanted to know more, but the falcon only brought a few words. Lord Zaizen looked up when he saw both men arrived at once.
"What news Lance, does he accept?" he asked.
"Yes milord, here is the pre-agreement. The older prince was not too happy when he heard of the news though." Sir Lance said.
"Thank you, here is your pay. I'll see you tomorrow. Now Lucas what news?" Lord Zaizen asked the young man. Sir Lance left and Lucas sat before his lord.
"Well Milord..." Lucas told Zaizen of how Amon won the archery contest; how he was with Robin and everything else he saw and heard from his lesser spies. Lord Zaizen figured that this 'Robin' would be the way to Amon marrying his daughter. He paid Lucas twice than before and told him to plan a kidnapping for Robin. the man agreed and left. 'This is perfect. My plan is going better than expected.' He thought, smoking a cigar.
