Previous Life
In a foreign land, a long time a go. There lived a king named Kyougo, he lived with his daughter and son, Kotori and Fuuma. His wife, Queen Saya has died not long after she has delivered Kotori. The kingdom he commanded, Toga Kingdom is one of the most prosperous kingdoms ever. They never involved into any war and the king ruled his kingdom in full wisdom. Public also loved the prince and princess, as they grew up and turned to jewels in people's heart. Prince Fuuma grew as a lovely person in beautiful figure. His charms and kindness stole any girl's heart. Princess Kotori though still young also as lovely as her brother. Her cheerful spirit made everyone happy just to look at her. The flowers and birds and other small animals were also in love with her. The sibling loved each other and very fond of each other as with their people as well. They would spent many times wandering around the city or just take a look and have a small talk with their people.
Prince Fuuma really looked like his father when he was young, with dark short hair and medium built, many girls have fallen for him, from the princess from other kingdoms or nobles in around the country. But he never show any sign of attracted with any girl at all. He really protected his sister at his fullest. On the other hand, his sister, Princess Kotori was really resemblance her mother. She has the same long blonde hair like her late mother, and the same lovely spirit around her that made others loved her. King Kyougo and Prince Fuuma ever admitted that she was really looked like her mother when she was smiling. It was very heartbreaking that she hardly ever knew about her mother. Queen Saya died a year after she gave birth to Kotori. She had an incurable and also unknown illness, and it reached the limit when she had Kotori. After a year in the sickbed, Queen Saya gave her life up and died. Not just the royal family that mourned her death, but also the people around the nation. It spent more than three months for them to mourn her death. Queen Saya was not only beautiful but also a divine queen. She has the reputation as a wonderful oracle and white-magic user. Before she married the King, she was a daughter of a nobleman in a far away country. She was the most wonderful queen they ever had. But that was an old story, now Prince Fuuma and Princess Kotori were adolescence and prepared to claim the throne one day.
Two months before Princess Kotori fifteenth birthday, King Kyougo brought very surprising news, not only for the sibling, but also for the nation as well. On a dinner, the King introduced a beautiful woman to his children. 'Kids, this is princess from Yume Kingdom. Her name is Princess Kanoe.' The king introduced her. The prince and princess stared at the woman who was before their eyes. They admitted she was very beautiful, with long dark wavy hair and slim figure; she looked like a sexy goddess. Her dress was shown part of her breast and when she walked, her long legs were peeking from her dress. 'Nice to meet you, Princess Kanoe.' Prince Fuuma and Princess Kotori said at the same time. 'Dear, this is my son and daughter. This is Fuuma and Kotori.' He introduced his children.
'Nice to meet you…' Princess Kanoe spoke up. Her voice somehow dark and deep, and mystified the hearer.
Prince Fuuma and Princess Kotori bowed respectfully and stayed silent.
'I have decided to marry her.' King Kyougo continued. The Prince and Princess both looked at their father and Princess Kanoe with surprised look, but Princess Kotori showed a very happy face when she heard that news, unlike her brother who accepted the news coldly.
'Is that true Father? You're going to marry her?' she asked gaily.
'Yes, my dear. I will.' King answered.
'When did you two meet? Tell me! I want to know the whole story.' Princess Kotori pursued her father for explanation. She was really excited about the news from her father. King Kyougo just smiled at first, he partially remember that Kotori was grown without her mother. She must be hungered for a mother's love, he thought.
'Yes, father. I also wished to know.' Prince Fuuma joined his sister and gazed his new mother want to be with cold stare.
'Do you still remember when I have to go to Yume Kingdom a while a go?' the King asked his children.
'Yes, father. I still remember that.' Fuuma answered shortly.
'That time, I met her on a dinner. She was really astonishing. I couldn't get my eyes off of her.' The King continued his story with his hand tightly gripped Princess Kanoe's hand. Prince Fuuma who saw this scene excused himself out in a sudden.
'Excuse me father, I did not mean to being disrespect or else, but I have something else to do. General Kusanagi was looking for me. Excuse me.' he rose and bowed deeply to his father. 'It's a pleasure to meet you, Princess Kanoe.' He said courteously.
'You don't have to worry, he's always like that.' Princess Kotori said to their guest.
'Is that so?' Princess Kanoe replied.
'Yeah, but actually he's a nice and kind person. Sometimes, the politics a bit drifted him away. Anyway, I'm still haven't heard about your planning on your marriage.'
'We're planned to marry at your birthday, two months later.' The King answered.
'Is that true? Oh, I'd be really happy. Father. That's the greatest gift you ever give me!' Kotori said, very delighted with the news.
'That's really relieved me. I thought you'd be angry about my decision.'
'No, Father. Of course not! We're really happy that you finally overcome your sorrow.'
'Thank you so much, Kotori.'
'You're welcome Father. Anyway, I have to go now. It's been a pleasure to know you, Princess Kanoe.' She rose and kissed her father's cheek before left the dining room.
'That was a wonderful kid of yours, dear.' Princess Kanoe remarked.
'You're right, dear. They're really wonderful.'
Princess Kotori found her brother sat on the couch stared at their mother's picture in the study. His face showed a different aura, not the usual cold and silent Prince Fuuma. 'Hey, brother. Do you know something?' Princess Kotori surprised her brother by wrapping her arms around his neck.
'What is it, Kotori?' Prince Fuuma replied, he was really quick on hiding his expression.
'They said they're getting married soon.'
'I know that…'
'They will married on my birthday, isn't that wonderful?'
Now, Prince Fuuma really surprised and abruptly turned to see his sister. 'What did you say? That means two months later.'
'Yes,' Prince Kotori removed her arms and walked around her brother. 'I'm not kidding, my dear brother. That's true. They just told me that.'
Prince Fuuma didn't say a thing, instead he turned his eyes to the picture of a smiling beautiful blonde on the wall. Princess Kotori followed her brother act. 'I think Mother is really happy about the news.' She commented.
'I hope so,' Prince Fuuma responded in pitiful tone. 'You better have a rest now; you have to take care of your health.'
'I know, brother. Good night.' Princess Kotori left her brother alone in the study.
Prince Fuuma stood alone in the dark of the study 'Mother, this is a bad omen…' he muttered as he saw a greenish blue light on the fireplace.
Author notes :
Well, my first multiple shots fanfic. Whoever thought that Snow White could be this long? Maybe I'm just exaggerating some things. I've got the idea back then in 1999-2000, but I've got the chance to write it down fully right now. !
Actually, I've lost my papers where I put the idea, and this is the revised version.
Aside from the site's feedback form. You also can email me at which more likely to be responded more often.
Thank you for reading!
Ps: I'm not really sure about the author of Snow White. Anyone who knows the real author please contact me so I can revised it. Thank you once again!
