~ My beloved one ~
One shot (Normal IE time)
Normal P.O.V.
It was the year 1780. Princess Haruna stood in her giant ball gown next to her parents and brother. They were soon to be announced. Today was the big anniversary. Her parents held a big feast in honor of Haruna's sixteenth birthday. Royals from over the whole world were invited to find a prospective husband for Royal Highness Haruna. Her brother Kidou, wasn't so happy with this feast. He was very overprotective about his little sister and was determined to show all the princes and other high royals that his sister belonged to nobody but him.
''Royal Highnesses, the King and Queen of Japan and their offspring, Princess Haruna and Prince Kidou.'' A guard presented them.
The big ballroom doors went open and the four stepped inside. People stopped dancing, turned towards the royal family and bowed deep. Haruna slowly walked off the big staircase, while she held her brothers arm. Her big, soft blue dress and matching heels were looking stunning, but impossible to take small steps in.
''Are you all right?'' Kidou asked her, while he wore an amazing royal suit with golden medals and shoulder patches.
''Yes, dear brother.'' Haruna replied, while she gave her brother a smile.
They walked behind their parents and reached the bottom of the stairs.
''Welcome, royals all over the world.'' Haruna's father greeted the people in the ballroom.
''Tonight, we all came together for a special occasion.'' Her mother continued.
''Our dearest daughter, Princess Haruna of Japan, turned sixteen. Let us all celebrate.'' Her father said.
''And may she have a long, happily ever after.'' Haruna's mother finished the story.
All the royals started clapping and shouted. 'Long live princess Haruna.'
Haruna started to blush.
''Let the party continue.'' She said formally.
The music started again and people continued dancing.
Haruna's P.O.V.
''Why don't you look around, dear?'' My father asked me.
''Only if she wants to herself.'' Kidou said to him.
I giggled and held my fan in front of my face.
''Don't worry, my dear brother. Everything will be fine.'' I said. ''Besides, don't you have pretty girls to dance with?''
Kidou shook his head.
''My dearest sister always goes on the first place.'' He said.
''Don't worry. I'll be fine. Enjoy yourself.'' I said to him.
I already saw giggling girls in big gowns pointing at my brother.
''Go on.'' I supported him.
My brother smiled.
''All right, if you insist on it.'' He said.
He walked away and started dancing with lady royals.
''We'll be over there, dear.'' My mother said, while she pointed at the two throne's in the room.
I nodded.
''Understood.'' I replied.
Then, I stood there, down below the staircase, alone. I looked around the room. I already saw royal men from my age glaring at me, but I wasn't interested in them. I sighed.
''What's the matter, my royal princess?'' I suddenly heard a voice beside me.
I turned around to look at a platinum blond guy who bowed in front of me. I bowed back.
''Young man, may I ask your name?'' I asked him.
The guy slowly took my hand and pressed a kiss on my hand palm.
''Of course, my lady. My name is Shuuya Goenji, the son of the general of Japan's biggest army.
''The Goenji family?'' I replied. ''It's such an honor to meet you.''
I bowed again.
''The pleasure is all mine.'' Shuuya replied.
I giggled and waved gently with my fan.
''May I ask you for a dance?'' Shuuya asked me, while he bowed and held out his hand.
I laid my hand in his.
''I would be delighted.'' I replied.
He slowly took me to the dance floor and we started a royal dance. First, he bowed. Then, I bowed. Then, we slowly laid our hand palms against each other and swirled around.
''So tell me, your highness. How can it be possible that I've never seen you before?'' Shuuya asked me.
I smiled.
''Maybe faith wanted us to wait longer.'' I replied.
Shuuya gave a gentle smile.
''But this meeting is pleasuring me.'' He said.
''So do I.'' I replied.
We twirled around longer and danced the whole night. When the tower clock indicated three 'o clock in the morning, he let go of me.
''No, don't go.'' I begged him.
''My princess, I can't stay any longer. My father and I have to fight in the royal army.'' He said.
''I don't want anything happening to you.'' I said.
Shuuya smiled at me.
''I promise you I'll return. And then, we'll get married.''
I smiled bright.
''I'll count the moments.'' I said.
Shuuya pressed a last kiss on my hand palm.
''So will I.'' He replied.
We said goodbye and he left the ball room.
''Shuuya Goenji, stay well.'' I whispered.
Normal P.O.V.
Three months had past since the dance and Haruna still waited on the return of her beloved general's son. She knew he was somewhere fighting on a battle field and it made her feel so worried. Then, a maid walked in with a letter and bowed in front of her.
''Your highness, a letter has arrived for you.'' She said.
Haruna looked at her maid.
''What's this?'' She asked, while she opened the letter. ''To Royal Highness Princess Haruna of Japan.''
Haruna slowly red the lines and her eyes widened more in shock every word she red further
''My dear princess, I have sad news. My father has past away during a battle. Now, I'm made the new general of Japan and I'll have to announce that I will stay away longer. But every second, your delightful appearance flashes through my head. I can't wait to see you again. I'll count the moments. Your dear general, Shuuya Goenji.''
She sighed.
''I don't wanna wait any longer. I want to see him.'' She said.
Her maid shook her head.
''Miss, that's impossible. He's out on the battlefield.'' She said.
Haruna sighed again.
''You're right. I have to be patient.'' She said.
She leaned back in her royal seat.
''My general, may faith stand at your side.'' She prayed.
Haruna's P.O.V.
Half a year past and my parents past away. Because Kidou nor me were married, we were made the king and queen of Japan at the age of 16 and 17. It was a hard task and it asked a lot of my daily strength, but one day, an unexpected message came. A maid walked into the throne room and bowed in front of me.
''Your royal highness, there's someone here to see you. He's waiting in the arrival room.'' She said.
I nodded and stood up from my throne.
''I'll be right back.'' I told my brother.
He nodded and I left the throne room. I walked towards the arrival room and my eyes widened. In front of me stood a platinum blond guy.
''General Shuuya!'' I shouted out, while I ran towards him and jumped into his arms.
''My dear princess Haruna.'' He said back.
''No no, QUEEN Haruna.'' I said to him with a wink.
Shuuya smiled and winked.
''Queen Haruna.'' He said.
''I'm so happy to see you.'' I said to him.
''I've been counting the moments.'' Shuuya replied.
I smiled.
''Are you still willing to marry me?'' I asked him.
Shuuya's face lightened up.
''Of course! It's the thing I want most in the world. You as my wife.'' He said.
I bend forward and pressed a gentle kiss on his lips.
''Then, shall we make it official?'' I asked him.
''You mean, with wedding plans?'' He asked me.
I giggled.
''No, we're gonna tell it my brother.'' I said.
Shuuya's eyes widened.
''I fought many battles, but this is going to be the toughest.'' He said.
I giggled again and dragged him to the throne room. The entire time, I didn't want to let go of his arm.
''My general…'' I said.

(A/N: I saw the movie Marie Antoinette just a few moments ago and it inspired me HUGE to make this one-shot. I love this kind of things. ^^)
