Your place in my heart is the whole of my heart.
Hope.
Princess Shinkokami of the Yamani Isles is bored. Very, very bored. She is sitting at the Royal Table now, pretending to be interested in her betrothed's ramblings. She was moderately suprised when her uncle had ordered her to marry the Crown Prince of Tortall, and when he had named the two ladies that were to have accompanied her.
She is hoping that Yuki, or even Haname would come and save her from the boredom, as it is getting harder and harder to mask by the minute. She turns an attentive ear to Roald, as he tries to engage her in a conversation. He fails.
Glancing around, she spots Yuki looking at her. Subtly, she tries to covey a plea for help. It works, and Yuki turns to corners of her eyes. She approaches the betrothed couple, and in a maidenly voice that was most unlike her, invites the couple to join her in the bookroom.
Hours later, the royal couple has become better acquainted through the joyous talk of the evening, and the gate was opened.
