"Sakura!" a girl yelled knocking on the door. The door opened and another girl appeared.
"Hi Tomoyo! What brings you here?" Sakura asked.
"A PRINCESS! A princess is coming to our town and staying here for 1 week!" Tomoyo cried happily.
"What's a princess doing all the way out here?" Sakura asked.
"What do you mean by all the way out here?" Tomoyo asked her back.
"Well, this is a really poor town and it's a real surprise that a princess would want to come here. There's hardly even enough food for the people here," Sakura said.
"Well, maybe she's a nice princess and will give us food to eat," Tomoyo said. Sakura sighed.
Ayumi's POV:
I was looking out of the carriage when suddenly it stopped.
"What happened Fujita?" I asked.
"Princess…someone is in the middle of the road and won't get out of the way," Fujita replied from outside the carriage. I stepped out of the carriage to see what's happening. Once I stepped outside, I saw a lot of people on the side staring at me. I felt very awkward. And right in front of me was a child standing in the middle of the road.
"Little boy, it's very dangerous to stand in the road," I said.
"Are you a real alive princess?" he asked.
"Yes," I said and laughed.
"Princess! My sister is dying and my family doesn't have enough money for a doctor, so can you help me?" the little boy asked.
"NAOKO!" a woman screamed and was pushing people to get out of the way. She ran to the little boy.
"M...o…m," Naoko said.
"I told you not to bother the princess!" she said to Naoko. She turned to me next. "I'm very sorry Princess! Please don't do anything to him! He's just a little boy!" she cried and kneeled before me.
"Do I look THAT scary?" I asked.
"No, you don't. You look very pretty," Naoko said. I laughed. The mother stood up after noticing that I wasn't mad or anything. I reached into my pocket and took some money out. I handed it to the little boy.
"Here, save your little sister. She has her whole future ahead of her. How old are you?" I asked handing him the money. He took the money and put on a big smile.
"She's my older sister, not younger sister. She's 16 and I'm 9," he said.
"Wow, 16, she's two years younger than me then," I said smiling.
"Princess…we need to get going…or else we'll be too late…," Fujita said. I looked at him and nodded.
"I have to go now Naoko, bye," I said. I stepped back into the carriage. Naoko's mom took him to the side of the street.
"Thank you Princess! Either my sister or I will repay you back somehow. My sister's name is Aki! Remember that," Naoko screamed from outside.
I stuck my head out the window and screamed, "I'll remember that. Aki, what a nice name!" The carriage then rode away.
Syaoran's POV:
"Mom! Can you stop walking around?" I asked.
"Can't you be a bit worried? Princess Ayumi ran away! She was supposed to be your bride!" she cried.
"Maybe it's because she doesn't want to marry me and I don't want to marry her," I saw in a very low voice. But I didn't say it low enough, because mom heard.
"Do you have any idea how much I worked for your wedding! It was hard enough to even arrange the marriage for you with Princess Ayumi! Lots of princes wanted to marry Princess Ayumi, but it was I, Queen Yelan, who talked King Yamada (from another kingdom) to pick you for his daughter to marry. I worked so hard just for this wedding and you don't even care about it!" Yelan exclaimed. I sighed.
"I'm sorry mother. I shouldn't have said such thing. It is such an unfortunate thing that Princess Ayumi ran away. I really want her to be my bride," I said in a really dull voice. Mom gave me a dangerous look and I didn't say anything anymore.
I never saw Princess Ayumi and neither did my mom. But rumors had it going that she was the most beautiful, artistic, cleverest princess there was. I was never interested in people I don't know, so I didn't really want to marry her. I was indeed happy that she ran away.
"Queen Yelan, King Yamada is outside waiting for you. He says that he wants to have a word with you," a voice said. I turned around and saw Nariko. I smiled at her and she smiled back at me. Mother was too busy worrying, so she didn't notice. She just walked out the door on her way to see King Yamada.
"Syaoran, you're happy that Princess Ayumi ran away, right?" Nariko asked with a great smile.
"Of course! I don't want to marry a girl who I've never seen before! She might be an ugly, old princess with a bad attitude. You can't trust the rumors," I said.
"What kind of girls do you like then?" Nariko asked.
"Well, she must be a very gentle and pretty girl. It doesn't matter to me if she's a princess or not. And the most important thing, I must know her before I marry her," I said.
"Like me?" Nariko asked smiling. My cheeks turned all red. Even though Nariko was a servant, she was my closest friend. She was also very pretty. Her eyes were a dark watery blue and her long black hair was curled into a long ponytail.
"Uh…," I said. I didn't know what to say.
"I was just joking! Wow, look at you. You look like as if you like me or something. You're blushing!" she said and laughed.
"NARIKO! WHERE ARE YOU!" a voice screamed.
"Oops, I've been talking too long. See you around Syaoran. I have to get back to work," Nariko said and left in a blink of an eye.
I was just standing there motionless and speechless. Her words you look like as if you like me or something kept repeating in my mind. Was she right? Do I really like her after all? Just that I didn't know?
Eriol's POV:
I was sitting in my room looking out the window thinking about the conversation I had with my uncle.
----- Flashback -----
"Eriol, it is time for you to find a wife," Dad said.
"But I'm still too young dad!" I said.
"You're 18 and that's old enough. You are a prince and everyone in this family married when they were 18. And it's time for you now," he said.
"But...but…but…," I said trying to think of a reason, but couldn't.
"You can pick a princess for your bride. Whichever princess you like, I wouldn't mind," he said.
"Does the bride HAVE to be a princess?" I asked. Dad shot me an angry look.
"OUT! NOW!" he exclaimed. I then realized what I have done wrong. I reminded dad of his past again. I just nodded and went out of the room.
Author's Note: I hope the chapter is good! I will update this story again and the other once I have more time. There's this really big test I have to take in October, so I need to study. October is a long way, but once school starts, I won't have much time. PLEASE REVIEW!
