Chapter 1

The room was quiet except the soft tapping Prince Zan made, as his fingers softly hit the smooth marble surface of the table. Standing by the doorway the hansome blond haired commander and also second-in-command of the Antarian Kingdom, Lord Rath, stared and waited for his boss and also best friend of life, Prince Zan, to attend his engagement party.
Outside the sun has went down and the three moons of Antar are slowly rising sending waves of orange, violet, and green light through the windows and the door of the conference room creating two silhouette of the two man in the room. The time is perfect for the start of a ball, but from the look of people in the room it seemed almost sad, as if Prince Zan who is sitting in the chair at the head of the long table is not so happy about this important day of his life, and Lord Rath even though understand and feels deeply sypathetic about his best friend's situation is getting deeply impatient and frustrated. Zan sighed again. Not able to stand these coutless sighs and minutes wasted, Lord Rath finally spoke, thus braking the silence.

"Your highness if I may ask for your permission to speak freely, um.. as a friend" the well-build blond asked.

"Of course Rath, you know you are always welcomed to speak your mind freely." not lifting his eyes and apparently still lost in his own world of frustration to even bother, the dark haired prince granted the request.

"well alright then, um.." clearing his throat "look Zan, no Maxwell I know you are not happy with this mariegge but enough is enough, would you please stop your dreading for one second at least long enough to make an appearence at YOUR engagement party, now you know as well as I do we can't have those royal asses from our galaxy wait. It is only manner we go out there and welcome them when they arrive at the palace. Which is right about NOW! Maxwell, I know you're not a weasel, in fact you're probably going to be Antar's most brilliant leader yet. The way you deal every matter to perfection still awws me sometimes, and your willingness to even sacrifice your life for the lives of the peasants posess the color of a true king in which no one can rifle, and for that I will always remain loyal as your second-in-command to death. But this fear of the marriage has got to stop, Lady Ava is actually NOT that bad!"

"now Rath I thank you for your concern, and I Have accepted my destiny as King and I am trying my best to cope with it, but I always have this filling that my life is missing a second half and my soul will never be complete if I don't find that missing part, in other words the woman I love. Now I know it sounds crazy to you but I know my true love is out there waiting for me, and Ava is NOT the one."

"Whoa, slow down there Maxwell, before you get all philosophical on me, now you know as well as I, that royal marriages are never meant for pleasure but alliance, alliance that will stable the power of both planets, now do I HAVE to go though the importance of this marriage with you again to make you go out there with me?

"no" the prince said now lifted his head only to stare out the window.

"well are you going to come with me to greet the guest then?" irritation in his tone.

"maybe in a minute" Zan replied simply trying to calm his hot-headed army commander.

"Zan please you have to go, I know about your 'maybes' they always turn to NOs, well I guess I'll just have to use my last resource." clearing his throat, Rath repeated for the 8th time what Queen Nan always say to Zan everytime he even thought about backing out. " Zan, I know you hate this but your mother her royal highness told me to say this you everytime you start to talk or even think 'nonsense', and this would be the 8th time I'm saying this to you, so here we go: Zan as you know our galaxy is made up of nine planets, Antar, Mortar, Tritar, Isles, Craine, Thiece, Calldre, Rase, and Unlai, and for the past five hundred years we have set up an alliance with each other against threats of other galaxies. Antar, Mortar, and Tritar being the Inner Ring planets are the most powerful three of the nine, with the kings controling most if not all decision makings of the alliance or it's formally called The Raque(I don't know what it means). As a result the kings of these three planets has always been in competition with each other to be the head of the Raque or the Grand King. The past three reign of The Raque has been held by Kings of Antar including your father, but unfortuanatly his highness passed away three Antarian Moons ago(each Antarian-Moon is one month), leaving his position as the Grand King (head of the Raque) empty. Of course by tradition, you Prince Zan of Antar, being the only heir to his Highness the Grand King, must take over for him as the king of Antar and then the reign of the Grand King. However by an ancient Antarian law, each future King of Antar had to wed before coronation of power can take place. Which in your case, for you to marry Lady Ava besides you and her have been engaged before your father's death."

"But that was only to calm my father and mother" the young prince protested.

"I understand your position, your highness, and normally you could find a way to get out of this marriage, but the situation with the King of Triton, Kivar, who has been tring for the ruler of The Raque for years, does not allow us to risk anything with Mortar. Therefore, your marriage with Lady Ava, who is from Planet Mortar, would create a natural alliance with Mortar, thus helping you secure your position in The Raque, because Kivar cannot usurp the power of the Grand King, if two of the planets of the Inner Ring are on one side. If not he will use this opportunity of your father passing away to seize that postion of Grand King. So the role Lady A_"

"Okay, fine Rath, we'll go now, please do not continue anymore, I swear if I hear one more word of duty and Ava it will make my head explode, now read the agenda for the rest of the day."

"Yes, your highness."
