"I'm not sure about this." Nana fretted.
"Come on Nana, it's three words." Meho sighed while putting the finishing touches on Nana's dress. To elaborate the safe return of the seven princesses' and prince, not to mention the revived relation between Anahns and Sailanders a party was being held on the ship. Nana was borrowing a green dress from Elda and Meho was adjusting it for her.
"But, I'm sure it doesn't matter what I say, he's probably go back to Sailand after this party. He'll become king, marry lots of women and live happily ever after. He'd be a wonderful father, he's the right guy to be king and have lots of kids." Meho ripped a thread with her teeth.
"Nana….."
"Meho you're so nice and I want to say thank you."
"Eh, don't worry about, we're friends aren't we?" Meho smiled. Nana nodded.
"But, if I were you I would confess before that Teresa girl does."
"Huh?"
"That Teresa girl is determined to make my brother her lover. I know my brother doesn't love her but she does and she's a stubborn one and I know, I probed her thoughts."
"Why does she love him? She's only known him for a little while?"
"She smitten, believe or not my brother's quite a catch. A girl like Teresa had no chance."
"I guess….."
"Now come on, straighten up and be a woman my brother will drool over."
"Why are you so eager for me and Husky to get together?"
"Because I want you to be my sister in law, I think you two are a good match, and I like you."
"So you're doing this for your own benefits." Meho ignored her.
"Oh and think what beautiful children you would have!" Nana just blinked.
"But that is all useless if you don't confess!" She shoved Nana out the door onto the deck where he crashed into someone. Of course, the one she crashed into was Husky. He looked gorgeous as usual. He was wearing a silvery jacket with blue embroidery, a high collar and matching trousers. His hair had been trimmed and combed out for once, he usually used sharp rocks ad his fingers to manage his silvery hair. His blue eyes blinked at her stare.
"You alright Nana?" She nodded quickly, embarrassed to be caught staring. Elda tapped
"Myrrha, would you dance with me?" Husky smiled.
"Of course Elda." He took her hand and swept her into a dance to the smooth music. Husky was a skilled dancer as was Elda. The King was changing partners on the dance floor every couple of measures. Elda and Myrrha danced more gracefully than the angels of heaven. Nana fidgeted with her dress. She wanted to be the one dancing in his arms.
The song ended another picked up. Husky bowed to Elda and walked away. Nana blinked in surprise as Husky swept her onto the dance floor. She stumbled a bit struggling to keep up with Husky at a dance she didn't know. Husky smirked and whispered in her ear.
"I'll lead you. Just stay calm." She was led into a waltz. Husky was a wonderful dancer and in his embrace she was a dancer as well. She wanted to kiss him so badly. The dance ended far too quickly and Elda approached him again.
"Myrrha can I speak with you for a moment?" He nodded and Nana followed discreetly. She followed them to the edge of the boat. Elda, garbed in gold dress turned to face him.
"Myrrha, when we were children why did you treat me differently than the other children did?"
"Because, you're a princess, maybe not by blood but Father took you in when no one else would and raised you as his daughter. I believe that if Father treated you as he would he would any daughter then you should be given the same respect. But considering the competition, respect is something hard to find. I liked you, you were nice and sweet."
"When you heard we were engaged, how did you feel about that?" Nana realized where the conversation was going.
"I was happy."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I was happy that at least one of my wives would love me for me."
"Really, then….."
"We're best fiends aren't we?" Elda's smile vanished."Well, that's what I wanted to tell you, Myrrha, I love you……." Husky's jaw dropped, he gasped and tried to say something but no words came out. Elda made her second move of the day and kissed him on the lips. Nana felt her heart snap in two. After a few heart wrenching moments she pulls away. Her face was as red as her hair
"Well?" Husky sighed catching his breath fighting down his flush. He reached out and stroked her blood red hair.
"I'm sorry; I love you but not like that. You're my precious sister, the only sister other than Meho that I trusted."
"I understand, are you in love with someone else?" He looked hesitant to answer.
"Yes…." Elda smiled.
"Well I pray for your happiness dear brother." She squeezed his hands one last time before letting go. She was crying ever so lightly, tears dribbling down her pale face. Husky wiped a tear away.
"You will always be my precious sister Elda."
"I understand that but I will always love you as a woman does a man."
"Elda you deserve better than a used up whore of a plus anima. You deserve a doting husband and many cute children."
"You deserve more as well, Myrrha, you've never given yourself enough credit. Meho told me what happened, it wasn't your fault. You deserve just as much as I do if not more. You deserve the big family you always wanted; many children and loving wife." She sighed and walked away. Husky made his way you onto the dance floor. He was looking around casually. Nana knew it was time to strike. Just she stepped out she heard a dreaded voice.
"Majesty!" No sooner than she yelled that she was immediately tackled by two blurs. She saw who it was, it was Nirvana and Amber tying up Teresa. They both gave her thumbs up. Nana was tapped on the shoulder. Meho was behind her in a silver-blue dress that complemented her petite form. She was wearing circulate decorated with small diamonds.
"What are you doing here we have apprehended the annoying one so go over there and win your man!"
"Wha?"
"Do I have to drag you over there and tie the both of you to the railing because Amber and Nirvana are already busy with Teresa and I have no other agents!" Nana stared.
"………..Agents?"
"Yes no go and confess already you stupid lovesick girl!" She gave Nana a good shove then sauntered off to help Amber and Nirvana deal with Teresa.
Nana walked hesitantly to where Husky stood at the bow of the boat. The wind was ruffling his hair and it glinted the moonlight. Nana walked up behind him and cleared her throat. Husky turned to look at her and smiled lightly.
"Hi Nana, enjoying the party?"
"I guess…" She stuttered.
"That's a nice dress, doesn't that belong to Elda?"
"Uh yeah…." His face scrunched into a pout.
"What's wrong, did someone upset you?"
"Oh, I was wondering why Elda took you aside….."
"Oh."
"It's alright if you don't tell me!" She added.
"No, no, it's fine." He paused and looked out over the ocean.
"She said she was in love with me."
"In love…..what did you say?"
"I told her I was in love with someone else."
"Are you truly?"
"Yes, I have the heart of male youth in love." He stated sarcastically.
"So you're not in love with anyone."
"Oh I am, speaking of which I wanted to get advice from a girl on what to do."
"Huh?"
"You see I've liked this girl for awhile, even though we haven't known each other that long I feel like I've known her my entire life. She has the prettiest blond hair and light colored eyes. She's a bit of a ditz at times but I truly love her……." Nana's breath caught, he was talking about Teresa. She did her best to suppress her tears.
"Well I think she loves you back so go after her, tell her how you feel." She pushed away from the railing and began to walk away. Husky had other plans he grabbed her arm and yanked her into his line of vision.
"Alright then, I love you Nana." She blinked in surprise, tears still running down her face.
"R-really?"
"Yes really I wouldn't be filleting my heart here if I were ling. Besides I'm not scum enough to play with a girl's feelings." He muttered his face flushed red."Of course if you don't feel the same way……" He turned away blushing all his Prince-like confidence swept away in a single moment. Nana smiled tears still flowing from happiness grabbed the front of his jacket and pressed their lips together. Husky put her hands at her waist and she threw her arms around his neck. They were both sure there was never a kiss with as much love and adoration as their first one. It was the purest and gentlest bliss that either of them had ever known. Nana smirked to herself, she was right he was a good kisser.
Unbeknownst to the pair in love, Meho watched with Amber and Nirvana. Amber and Nirvana giggled and whispered to each other. Their clothes were extremely mussed from wrestling with Teresa tying to tie her up. In the end they gagged her and stuck her in a broom closet. Meho fiddled with her skirt watching the couple peruse their pure unprecedented love for each other. This loneliness, this feeling that she had lost him; this must have been how Aunt Crystala felt when she saw her brother hugging her mother Marien. But this was for the best, her brother was happy. All Meho could hope for now was that she would not end up an outcast of the royal family like her aunt did.
"Come on, let's not spy anymore, and let's have some fun."
"Is there any other reason you no longer wish to spy, are you jealous perhaps?"
"Shut up Nirvana."
"Aw come on we know you want to be kissing your brother!"
"Shut it or I'll get Myrrha to kick your but three ways to Wednesday!" There was a pause.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"I have no clue." Meho answered keep her threatening stance.
"Fine whatever, come on Nirvana."
"I'm coming, I'm coming."
Meho lingered for a while longer watching her brother and Nana so blissfully in love. Husky smiled sweetly and pushed a lock of hair out of her face. Meho, although happy for her brother and yet this sadness. This was a breaking point, they had been drifting apart. They were no longer one person, they were separating. Meho hoped that he would keep their promise. The promise they had made as children, their sacred vow.
"Well, that was……" Husky started, catching his breath.
"Amazing." Finished Nana. Both of them were flushed pink. The entire of cocky attitude had evaporated in that instant. They had become a pair of awkward teenagers. Husky pet her hair.
"You're hair is much nicer than mine, so are your eyes."
"We both know that's not true."
"Yes it is, your eyes are full of life and happiness not sadness and pain like mine. That makes them far nicer than my eyes. Nana you have always my light of salvation, I thought I would never trust anyone whole-heartedly again, but you made my life worth living."
"You don't mean that."
"I do." He held her in his arms, Nana had never felt so safe.
"One, day if I can, I'll make you my one and only queen." His words wisped into her ear. She shivered and blushed. Becoming his queen, becoming a queen was every little girl dreamed of. Finding her prince charming and living happily ever after. This was her dream come true, but really it made no difference whether or not he was a prince, she would have loved him if he were a labor without a penny to his name. She loved him long before she knew he was a prince, she loved him unconditionally. They sat down on a bench.
"I'm sorry was that a bit much?"
"N-no, I just never really thought someone would actually ever say something like that to me."
"Why not?" He pulled her on his lap and rested his head on her shoulder.
"Because I'm just a farmer's daughter, deep down I knew that no prince on a white horse was going to whisk me away."
"Well I guess I wasn't on a white horse but I whisked you away didn't I?"
"Yes, yes you did, you made me a very happy girl."
"I'm glad to be of service." He joked and Nana smiled.
"Could I have everyone's attention?" Husk looked up.
"Father? What could he want?"
"Come on let's go." She got off his lap and walked over to where the King of Sailand was making his speech.
"Now, all my lovely children and my wives here; good." He took a breath.
"Now as many of you know six years ago we suffered a terrible loss in our family, my son, Myrrha. For six long years only my wife marine and my daughter Meho kept faith that he was alive. Out of all my sons Myrrha has always been my favorite, he is like his mother. He is a warm and loving person but he knows when to lock away his emotions. But of all my sons he has always been the most intelligent. He is strong and willful, that is why I would like to announce that Prince Myrrha, son of Queen marine will succeed me as the King of Sailand." Everyone's jaws dropped.
