Chapter 3

Echizen Ryoma's POV

I was eating my food quite bitterly. Sanada has already left. He had an important business to attend to and leaving me with a bastard of a prince that's been staring at me while I eat. It's quite disturbing…

Is he having dirty thoughts about me?

I was disgusted at the thought. I did thought that I'd prefer this Yukimura guy here but I didn't expect that he's actually the one I'm getting married to…And I thought I was going to get away with it until he showed up and says he's my…. Ugh… fiancé.

I did prefer him over Sanada but that doesn't mean I'd marry him now that I know he's actually… my FIANCÉ.

I suddenly lost my appetite. The things I've been doing the whole time, wasted. If I knew, I wouldn't have. Damn… I shouldn't have ignored Bunta when he was trying to say something…

"You're frowning…" Yukimura said out of the blue.

"I hate you…" I said bluntly. He wasn't fazed.

"But I know you'll end up falling for me…" he said with all confidence. I scoffed.

Does he really think I will? Yeah, right… In his dreams that is.

"If you think I'm going to fall for you, you've got zero chances, prince." I sneered.

"I knew you liked me better than Sanada considering I did notice the way you looked at me just a while ago." he smirked.

"Well, I've changed my mind..!" I huffed and crossed my arms.

"I'll make you change it again." he said slyly.

"Bastard…" I muttered under my breath. "I know you're making fun of me for getting the wrong prince…!"

"Indeed…" he said, just smiling. Forget about his smile being nice. It's annoying… That angelic smile of his makes me want to hurl…

"You pedophile..! I want to go back home!" I demanded, got out of my seat, and slammed my hands on the table.

"But you can't. We're getting married." he said with a smug look on his face.

"I did NOT agree to this marriage!" I shouted.

"It's already been set. It can't be canceled. It's official, we're going to get married..!" he said happily.

"Don't smile like that! You're making me feel sick!" I said in disgust. He chuckled.

"But if you get married to me, don't you think it'll be like a dream? You can do everything and have everything you want." he said. I thought for a moment.

He's got a point… Ponta… New tennis equipment… Wait a minute…

"Are you trying to bribe me?" I asked, annoyed.

"I don't know what you're talking about." he said and tilted his head innocently.

"Don't try to act all innocent with me, prince! No matter what you say, I WILL NOT MARRY YOU!" I said with finality. He just raised a brow and crossed his arms.

"We'll just see about that now, won't we?" he smirked.

Still feeling confident now, are we?

"I'll wipe that smirk off your face!" I hissed.

"When I want something, I always get what I want." he said to me confidently.

"I know. But this time, you won't." I snarled and stormed out of the room.

I am never getting married to him! EVER!

Yukimura Seiichi's POV

Quite an energetic prey I see…So cute..! I am definitely going to marry him!

I smiled to myself. Definitely the perfect bride… I stood up and ordered one of the maids to clean up the table and then took my leave. While I was walking in the castle corridors, I met Bunta.

"Yes?" I asked with a smile.

"T-The kid… is he?" he stuttered.

"If you're talking about Ryoma, he's just fine." I reassured him. "And don't worry, Bunta. Nothing bad happened between him and Sanada."

He sighed in relief. I wouldn't let him off easily though…

"And Bunta…"

"Yes, your majesty?" he asked. His face now calm than before.

"Look after Ryoma for me. Don't let anything happen to him. You fail, you die." I said with an angelic smile. Bunta immediately tensed.

"H-Hai!" he squeaked.

I just walked past him as I heard Jackal asking him what was wrong.

Ah… Such a perfect day… Nothing could possibly go wrong…

I'm feeling quite excited for my wedding. I just can't wait to marry my little uke.

I'm going to make him wear a little wedding dress once I've picked one out for him!

I laughed to myself. Everything was just perfect as it is. I'll take the little uke's firsts all by myself… But first, where's Akaya…? I have a little something for my Ryo-chan…

Echizen Ryoma's POV

I must get out of this castle quick! That damn Yukimura guy might just change the date of the wedding before I even get to escape..!

I was walking in the corridors again. I still don't know where I'm going…

This stupid castle's too big… Why did it have to be this big, anyway...?

"Hey, you..!" I heard someone called out to me. I turned around. It was a guy with seaweed-like hair… He walked towards me and stopped in front of me.

"What…?" I asked, frowning.

"You're the prince's fiancée?" he asked impatiently.

"Yes, why..?" I questioned suspiciously. Honestly, I don't like being the prince's fiancée.

"Come with me." he said and gestured me to follow which I did.

We walked silently to who knows where and he took me to a room which was better than where I slept in. I frowned and looked at him.

"The prince told me to bring you here. This is your new room." he said when he noticed I was looking suspicious.

I took a good look at the room. The bed was a golden canopy bed with golden pillows, maroon sheets, and fabrics with gold ends and was more spacious than the one I slept on. The room was a bit bright too. The walls were also maroon and the floors were golden tiles. The windows were long and had gold curtains. It was fit for a queen. Does the prince think I'm that easy?

Too bad, prince… Bribery's not going to work on me…

"If you need anything, go ask Marui-senpai or Jackal-senpai… You can just pull that rope over there and we, servants, will know if you want something.. You can take a bath in that room over there." he said and pointed at a golden door.

"And the prince also brought clothes for you. You can find them there." he added and then pointed at a brown closet. It was obviously made with the finest wood.

"I'll be taking my leave now, your majesty…" he said, bowed, and then left the room.

After that, I slumped on the bed. It was nice, warm, and so comfortable. It's perfect for taking naps and sleep. I saw a rose with a letter tied to it on the table. I took it.

To: Ryo-chan

From: Your beloved fiancé

I frowned. Ryo-chan? I never gave him permission to make up a nickname for me or even call me that.

Beloved my ass… You're not going to be my fiancé for long…

I opened the letter and read it slowly.

Dear Ryo-chan,

Do you like your new room? I chose it especially for you and I do hope you like it. When we get married, we'll have our own room filled with lots of love.

Love, Seiichi

I blushed after I finished reading it.

No, wait. Did I just blush? No way..!

I shook my head. The room was probably too hot…

Yeah..! That's it! Che..! This is very cute of you, prince, but don't even dream about it. It's not going to happen.

I placed the letter back on the table. I suddenly felt like taking a warm bath and then sleep. I locked the door first so there'll be no one coming in and then went to the bathroom. I took a look at it.

Nice… Even the bathroom's gold… Not all gold though… It's even bigger than ours at home…

I went to the tub and turned the sink on where the hot water comes from and waited for the tub to be full. When it was full, I took my clothes off and went inside. It was relaxing… I could just stay here forever… Not literally though…

After that nice warm bath, I took a towel that was hanging on a golden towel bar and wiped myself with it and grabbed another one and wrapped it around my waist. When I got out of the bathroom, I went to the closet. I opened it and my eyes had widened.

Maid outfits… Bunny costumes… Bathing suits..?! Thongs..?! Lingerie..?!

I searched the closet to see if there were any decent clothes I could wear. None… There was none… I blushed furiously and remembered what the seaweed dude said.

"And the prince also brought clothes for you"

That's what he said. The prince brought these clothes for me.

I clenched my fists. I felt like I was about to burst.

THAT PERVERTED PRINCE…!

Yukimura Seiichi's POV

I sneezed and wiped my nose with a handkerchief.

"A-Are you alright, your majesty..?" Akaya asked worriedly.

"Iya…" I shook my head and smiled. "Someone's probably talking about me…"

I suddenly remembered something I ordered him to do.

"Oh! Did you send Ryoma to his new room?" I asked.

"H-hai, your majesty…" Akaya answered.

"Sou ka…" I said and chuckled.

"What's wrong, your majesty?" Akaya asked me curiously.

"Nothing… I'm just wondering if he's seen the clothes I bought for him…" I replied. "Do you think he'll like them?"

Akaya looked at me nervously and scratched his head.

"If it's your majesty, I'm sure he will…" he said, quite unsure. I just chuckled softly.

He's probably seen them by now…

Echizen Ryoma's POV

"I'll kill him… I'LL KILL THAT PRINCE!" I grumbled.

"O-Oi… Your highness, please calm down…" Bunta said worriedly. "Oi, Jackal! Tie him up!"

"Calm down? Once I kill the prince, I'll calm down!" I hissed.

"Your highness, we will buy you new clothes so please calm down!" Baldy reassured. I ignored him. Right now, I'm in the mood for a game called let's kill Prince Yukimura game.

"DAMN YOU, YUKIMURA!"
