Meanwhile back in the great dining hall with her family, "What a jerk that knight is!" Minako stated angrily as she stabbed the roast beast on her plate with a fork. "Minako, calm down, they are only knights and it was our first meeting with them anyways." Serenity said in a matter of fact way. "But I think we shouldn't judge them by first meeting Minako, that's not fair." Ami said as she sipped her goblet listening to the other two, "Ami! He insulted me!" Minako screeched hurting poor Ami's ears as she cut her meat up in tiny peaces. "I only picked up the stupid notebook and returned it to that little imp that's all and he bit my head off for it!" Minako said angrily as she downed her goblet. "Ah I hate men!" She finished as the other two giggled at her response. "But Minako not all knights are bad you know, take Sir Endymion for instance…." sighed Serenity. "Oh Sere! You with your head in the clouds over wonderful Sir Endymion!" She said exasperated, "He probably slept with almost all the girls of this kingdom!" Minako rose roughly as she excused herself from the table.
The King and Queen only stared as the sound of the door slamming echoed throughout the castle. "And what was that all about girls?" The queen asked raising her eyebrows a notch. "Oh nothing mother, Minako, Serenity and I just met with our new Knights and well… needless to say for Minako it didn't go that well," Ami said with a sigh.
The King laughed at his daughter's words. "So finally Minako has met her equal tongue lasher eh?" he stifled a laugh with his goblet. "My I never thought that would ever happen," his queen mused with a smile.
Finishing the rest of their meals Ami and Serenity excused themselves as they rushed to talk with their angered sister. When they neared her chambers they heard the musical sound of her harp. Opening the door they saw her at her balcony playing her harp in an attempt to calm down.
Coming out of the stables Yaten headed towards the Knights quarters to retire for the night. Crossing over to the courtyard he heard the most beautiful sound coming from the castle. Following the sound he stopped below a balcony. As he looked up he saw a figure playing the harp and recognized her. Her golden hair reflected the moonlight lighting up the night sky. Her creamy skin glowed as she strummed the harp strings with her delicate fingers. Yaten could only stare in awe at her ethereal beauty; he could dimly see her smiling calm face as she continued the melody.
Remembering the early evening where they first met, he recalled her crystal blue eyes as her fiery temper got the best of her as she yelled at him, and her childish attitude and her sharp tongue intrigued him. Looking up at the blonde beauty he felt guilty that he misjudged her. "Hey Yaten!" He heard a girl's voice. Looking up he saw the princess in her night gown staring down at him. "What are you doing spying on me down there!" She called back as he smirked. "Well I was going back to my quarters until I heard this screeching and then I found that it was you dear princess," he said sarcastically. "Is it not enough that you insult me in my face and now you are here to do the same again behind my back!" She said angrily as she left the balcony and slammed the doors shut.
Coming face to face with her sisters she stated hotly, "that so called knight has some nerve to insult me outside my balcony! He is such a jerk!" Minako fumed as she slammed herself onto her bed. Ami and Serenity who just stood there suddenly burst out laughing. "What is so funny?!" Minako demanded as she glared at her sisters. "Oh Minako, I've never seen you this mad than the time that some captain called you a Ditz!" Ami giggled as she wiped the tears out of her eyes from laughing. "You know Minako they say that when a girl is infuriated by a boy it means that she will love him later in life." Serenity said with a grin. Minako felt her cheeks hot, "WHAT! OVER MY DEAD BODY! I WILL NEVER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIM!" She screeched.
Looking up from the courtyard to the empty balcony he only laughed hard at the screeching of the angry princess. "I guess she's not like all princesses," he laughed as he stumbled to stand up. "Yaten you've been out here the whole time!" Turning around still stifling his laugh was Taiki and Seiya. "What are you doing out at this time of night?" Taiki asked as he looked at Yaten's flushed form. "And what were you doing?" He asked as he looked around the courtyard. I was just having a few words with Aino," he smirked as he strolled over to the knight's quarters followed by his confused brothers.
