Husky pointed to Nana stuttering, he couldn't believe it. She had one something stupid again. Not to mention he was fully decked out in a woman's dress.
"Nana…." He struggled to keep his temper in check.
"Yes?"
"What are you doing here? I just told you to leave and stay out of this."
"Oh come on, I had to do something to help. Beside, don't I look cute?" Yes she looked cute in that outfit, she looked downright adorable. The maid outfit really suited her personality.
"Yeah whatever, what are you doing?" He watched her started to clean.
"Cleaning, I'm your maid aren't I?" She spoke as if it were obvious thing in the world.
"No, you're going back to Duchess and the others. Don't you think Cooro and Senri will be worried?"
"They know where I am Cooro said it was a good idea."
"Well Cooro's an idiot!"
"What about Senri? He said it was good idea too."
"That's a lie; Senri never says more than three words a sentence if you can even call them that."
"Well he did so there!" She stuck out her tongue. The pair glared at each other with their best glares. Jaclyn giggled.
"Ah, young love." Husky glared at her.
"Get out." He said calmly. Jaclyn shrugged and walked away.
Meho lazed about on a chair reading a book her silver hair pooling on the floor. Nirvana walked up to her with Amber and sighed.
"The great princess Meho has been reduced to a mere couch potato." Meho glared up at her.
"Stuff it Nirvana." She stated. She knew that Nirvana was just trying to help in her own obnoxious way but it annoyed her. Amber shifted nervously; she wasn't nearly as outgoing as her friend. Amber genuinely cared about the twins even though they were competition. Those two always made their father happy, Amber loved her father and if the twins made him happy she wanted to see to their well being. After all, when Myrrha vanished their father was never the same a glimmer had been taken from his very soul.
"Cheer up Meho, Father will help him." Amber took a gentler approach.
"I know, but it's my fault. I don't even know what's being done to him. I'll never be able to look my mother in the eye again. My mother nearly died when he disappeared, and I just took him away again."
"Really, I thought your mother took I rather well." Nirvana stated.
"Are you kidding, that was just her outside face, her soul was crushed in a million pieces."
"Oh…." There was an awkward silence, everyone shifted uncomfortably until Teresa broke the tension. And by breaking the tension it is meant that she threw herself at Meho. Meho tried desperately to dislodge the crazy plus-anima's grip on her.
"Majesty sister is very pretty and so nice! You like Teresa, yes? I be your sister one day."
"Wha, I, uh? Get off! Jeeze my brother just had to have an insane girlfriend!" Meho panted but Teresa got stars in her eyes.
"Meho approve, oh, I make Majesty very happy, I be good mate for him!"
"Oh Moon and Stars get the insane creature away from me!" Nirvana and Amber watched Meho's struggle with her brother's wannabe lover.
"Teresa, dear, please get off Meho."
"Thank you Duchess!" Shouted Meho kissing her hand.
"No need to be dramatic dear."
"Hello Duchess." Chorused Amber and Nirvana.
"I have great news girls!"
"Really what?" Asked Meho pushing away Teresa to the best of her abilities.
"Your father is coming here now!"
"What really? Father?!"
"Yes! He sent a letter back telling me he was on his way. Considering the amount of time it takes for a letter to arrive he should be here in a few days."
"Yeah Dad's coming!" Shouted Amber and Nirvana; Meho didn't celebrate with her half-sisters. Elda peered around the corner. Meho walked away from the celebrating duo. Elda took her into the room she was sharing with Felicity. Elda was the only one who could stand her.
"You're worried about him, I am too." Elda said quietly looking at the ceiling.
"He's not your twin brother." Meho suddenly found her knees interesting.
"True, but you do not love him like a man does a woman."
"I would certainly hope not, you two are incestuous enough as it is." A voice scoffed. The girls turned their attention to the proud redhead standing in the doorway.
"Get lost Felicity, we're worrying about Myrrha together, it's not something you would understand sister dear. Your brother gets to be king now go rub it in someone else's face, maybe Sarah can tolerate you."
"Myrrha, what are you doing now?" Meho wondered aloud.
"No."
"But-"
"No."
"What if-"
"No Nana."
"But Hu-" She whined.
"My name is Meho, Nana." Husky said irritably, he looked up from his book.
"But Meho I wanna style your hair you always leave it down and put a chain circulate with charms on!"
"Maybe I like circulates, they suit me!" They glared at each other.
"Princess, is this maid bothering you?" It was Prince William.
"Nah, I like her but she like to get on my nerves."
"I see, um, I was wondering-"
"No."
"I haven't asked you yet."
"After you disgraced me, I have no interest in hearing what you have to say." Husky proceeded to look back to his book.
"Princess are you going to hold that against me forever?"
"Actually I can, you'd be surprised how well I can hold a grudge."
"What if I told you it was my Father's request."
"Oh that changes everything." Husky smiled sweetly, Nana shot a baffled look at him.
"I guess I have to say, HELL NO!"
"Eh? But my father is…"
"The King of Astaria, our enemies so I hate him more than I do you." He said sweetly.
"Look, if you don't start shaping up we'll send you away so your parents will never find you." That caught his attention.
"Fine what is it?"
"Dinner tonight." Husky stood and slapped him.
"You made all that fuss about a dinner I thought you were going to make become you concubine or something." William smirked.
"You interested?" That earned another slap.
"Come on Nana!" He stormed off. When they were safely in his chambers did he speak freely.
"I hate that guy." He huffed flopping on his bed.
"Really I think he's cute."
"He hates plus anima and he kissed by force!"
"He did?"
"Yes he did. The bastard."
"Wow he must really like you!"
"Unfortunately."
"He doesn't seem so bad."
"I know he's not, if we were normal kids we could probably be friends. I know he'll end up kissing me again."
"Husky, if your father would let you go home, would you?" Nana sat down in a chair.
"I think I would, if my father wouldn't kill me first."
"Would you marry Elda if you did?"
"Probably, she doesn't have any plans but marrying the future king. She's fond of me so it would work out."
"What do you mean; she's got nowhere else to go?"
"Her mother was married to a man before my father and when she was pregnant with Elda he died. Everything was left to his brother and he agreed to marry Elda's mother if Elda was killed but she refused and went back to her father. No one wants to marry a widow with a child, so her father sent her to be a wife of my Father's harem; he didn't mind Elda and offered her a place in the next King's harem."
"Wow so she gets a happy ending."
"Pretty much." He paused.
"I think she really loved me so her happy ending was taken away."
"She's fourteen what does she know about love." Shrugged Nana.
"About as much as anybody does, my father loves my mother, even though there's a seven year difference between them and my mother became his bride at twelve. To the ordinary eye they seem to detest each other but Meho has told me that our mother has been accepting his advances as of late, they are utterly in love." He sighed.
"No one understands love. I know I don't." He sighed again.
"I think that no one can understand but we enjoy it, I know I do." Husk shot her a baffled and hurt glance. Jaclyn, with her unusual impossible timing, burst in. Jaclyn was carrying a silver blue dress that reminded Nana of the moon.
"Come on Princess let's get you bathed and dressed. Now undress."
"Excuse me?"
"What are you wearing girl's underwear or something."
"No!"
"Then what's the problem you've had maids undress you before haven't you." Jaclyn asked twitching her fingers.
"No actually not since I could dress myself!"
"Aw, prince charming is a prude."
"I am not so I'm going to change in the bathroom!" He grabbed the dress and stormed into the bathroom. He came out a few moments later blushing.
"It looks like a ball gown or wedding dress." He groused. The dress was snug on his abdomen with a gauzy bodice where his chest was flat as a board and the skirt puffed out with the same gauzy material with tiny silver stars scattered over the skirt. Jaclyn whipped out an intricate headpiece with star charms and tiny chains. Jaclyn brushed out the wig and set it in place on his head. Jaclyn whipped out an intricate necklace with crystal gems. Husky's eyes involuntarily followed it.
"You like Princess?" Jaclyn giggled.
"What's that?" He was entranced by its beauty; Jaclyn smirked and whispered in his ear.
"A gift from your suitor." She placed it on his bare throat.
"It's really nice, I mean the cut and quality is top of the line, you don't see this outside of royalty."
"That's probably why he gave it to you. I won't even ask why you know all that junk." Husky touched the necklace that suited him, or Meho.
"This isn't good; this is extravagant even for royalty. I think he's serious." Jaclyn put the finishing touches on.
"Well, do I look convincing?" Nana and Jaclyn were speechless, they were jealous of his utter beauty. He looked like Meho.
"Do I really look that bad?"
"No, Husky, you look absolutely stunning." He blushed and looked at his feet; of course this was difficult because they were covered by his skirt.
Husky sat at the unnecessarily long table. He picked at his meal. He detested Astarian food it was rich and greasy. He liked the food of his homeland; it was all clean and fresh, like fruits. William saw the necklace and took it as approval. The king watched the simply divine child pick at her food.
"So Princess Meho, do you have hobbies?"
"I like evaluating jewels; I'm also very fond of writing."
"Um, do you like to dance?" Asked William shyly.
"Not your Astarian dances but Sailand ones yes."
"Well then let's show my father what we can do."
"Excuse me?" He panicked inwardly; he had said Sailand in an effort to get him away. William however was not discouraged. The Prince snapped his fingers and music sounded. The Prince grabbed his hand and swept him into an intricate dance. Husky had to admit, he was good dancer, for Astarian stuffed shirt. He somewhat enjoyed the dance he felt like he was flying for the first time in years. The dance ended as abruptly as it started.
"Father I would like to make an announcement, to you and the Princess." Husky froze.
'Oh Moon Goddess, this can't be good for me!'
"Might I add her ladyship looks ravishing tonight? I have something very important to ask you."
'Oh please don't let it be what I think it is!' He got down on one knee.
"Princess Meho, you are one of the most infuriating people I know, you're stubborn as a mule yet you're an interesting person and I'm pretty sure I love you. And what better way to sop or fighting than to unite our countries than our union. What I'm saying is that Princess Meho, will you marry me?" Husky was so overwhelmed. He couldn't believe what he was hearing, so out of shock and stress he fainted, like any girl would.

Princess: So yeah, prince proposed. Not really surprising. I know it seems a bit too soon, but in royalty and nobility someone could not meet their spouse until their wedding day. So the thought of him proposing to a Princess only a few days after they met is not unheard of. Besides its to untie their kingdoms so it's all good intentions. Poor boy can't catch a break. BTW I just wanted to say that Meho and Myrrha are not meant to be Japanese names, they were meant to be Sailand names which means that can mean whatever the heck I want in this story. Ha ha, he fainted, (chuckle) Oh and stuffed shirt is because the people of Sailand are much more free spirited and fun loving and consider Astarians stuck up.
