Five
By Elf Asato
Setsuka always thought it would be fun to have a knight in shining armor whisk her away. Instead of being outside and playing with the other children, she spent her childhood reading romances where the lead female was always seduced by an intriguing, larger-than-life man. As a result, her mind was always in a fairytale world where she was a princess instead of in reality; she failed to notice or care about her failing health.
And, ironically, the one who entertained her fantasies the most was one responsible for maintaining this health.
It was because of this doctor that she was alive and on a fairytale-like ship, openly calling herself Princess Camellia after the flowers she loved so much. Everything was going so well in her world, and the only thing missing was a knight who would come to take her away.
And the first fateful day on the ship, she thought she met her knight.
Setsuka always thought she'd know what to do when love came to her, but, as she stood, staring at him, she found that she was clueless as to where to begin.
Introductions were always a start.
"Hello! I-I'm Princess Camellia," she said, excited and blushing. "What is your name?
Her knight who would take her away, a young man around her age with the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen, seemed a little started by her forwardness, but responded in turn.
"...Hisoka Kurosaki."
Ending Notes: This was a "crossover" with Yami no Matsuei. There was a girl in one of the arcs who went by "Tsubaki-hime" (Princess Camellia) and liked Hisoka. She's actually one of the most hated females in the series, but I still like her, haha.
