" The Cursed Princess and the Ghost Prince"
Characters: Yukimura Aguri; Koro-sensei; Yanagisawa Kotarou
"This is Prince Kotarou of the Kingdom of Gengetsu, and he will be your fiancé."
Princess Aguri of Kunugigaoka was looking at her window, staring sadly at the view. She sighed, as she was looking at the people outside of their castle, happily preparing for her incoming wedding.
Her parents, the King and Queen of Kunugigaoka, was arranging her marriage to the Prince Kotarou of the kingdom of Gengetsu, to maintain peace among the two kingdoms. She was surprised to hear that shocking news, but her mother, the Queen, was telling her that she need to marry Kotarou, or the Kingdom will be doomed to be in war with other kingdom.
Her wedding to the Prince was now widespread across the kingdom, and everyone is happy, except her. She never loved the man, but as a Princess, she had no choice but to follow her parents for the sake of the kingdom.
"Are you alright, my Princess?"
Aguri looked up from her windowsill and looked at the source of the voice.
It was a man, possibly in his late 20's, with dark hair that reached his nape, warm raven eyes, and with a smile so kind, anyone can melt in his warm smile. He was wearing fancy black robes, with a little crown in his head, its crescent moon-shaped sapphire shining brightly in the sunlight.
What's weird about him is he was floating, and he was actually transparent, you can see through him.
"Oh, it is you, Prince Koro-sensei..." She smiled sweetly, as she looked at the man in question. "What are you doing here? I thought you were travelling with some of your 'friends'..."
Koro-sensei just laughed as he floated towards the young princess, as he properly arranged his crown in his head, "Well, Karasuma-san never wanted to be with me, and Irina-chan wanted to kill me, even though I was already dead. Being a ghost was hard, especially in terms of having friends."
Aguri snorted as she looked at her black-haired companion, " What about me? You never treat me as your friend?"
Koro-sensei's eyes widened as he was flustered, "Of course! You are my friend! And no one can take that away!"
Aguri stood up and brushed the dirt from her gown. "Yeah, no one can ever take it way from us."
Not everyone knew about this but the princess has the ability to see ghosts and spiritual entities. Her mom said it was given to her by a witch before she was born, and because of that, it was treated as a curse.
When she was a child, she had seen some bad and good spirits roaming around the kingdom, and she tried her best to help the,m, even though her parents were horrified to find out.
But to her, it was a blessing in disguise, especially when she met him.
Prince Koro-sensei, or just Koro, is a young prince from the Kingdom of Gengetsu. He was supposed to be the heir to the throne, but he was killed by a mysterious incident years ago. His only cousin, Prince Kotarou, replaced him unofficially, because Koro is the only child of the king and queen. Unfortunately, Prince Kotarou was an arrogant young prince, which treated his constituents as pawns.
As much as she hated this fact, Princess Aguri liked him, as he was the friend Aguri never had. At first, he was an arrogant, spoiled and a cold prince due to him being an only child, but due to Aguri, he had changed for the better and became a sweet and kinda pervertic spirit. Not as she never mind it, of course.
As months and days passed, Aguri has started to fall in love with him, but was afraid to tell him her feelings for the fear of her feelings not being returned.
If Koro-sensei was alive, she could be with him. She could be his future wife, not Kotarou. They could live happily ever after.
But it will never happen.
After all, how can she love a man who she knew had died many years ago?
Prompt:
A princess is arranged to marry a prince as a sign of peace. Problem is that the princess has been cursed with ability to see ghosts and has fallen in love with the ghost of the true prince as it turns out that the man she is supposed to marry is a fraud.
A/N: Here is the tenth chapter of Drabbles and Tentacles! It was still KoroGuri, yes, but some pairings, like NagiKae and Karmanami are on the works now.
Gengetsu, by the way, means Crescent Moon in Japanese, you know.
