A simple minded child learns from and repeats the actions he/she sees. It may take time, however, to figure out if the end result is a positive or a negative.
Prince Kaito had done, seen and heard many horrific things. But never in his life had he heard or seen something like that, as a result of trying to do something with another human being. Awkwardly, he sat beside his Princess on her bed.
"So you didn't mean…?" Princess Miku asked as she wrapped her fingers around the trim of her dress.
"Not at all." Kaito replied, still in immense shock.
Miku took a deep breath before speaking once more. "So what I did against the wall was…"
"Well…" the blue haired Prince paused, thinking of the right words to say. "… it was strange, to say the least."
In embarrassment, she looked down. "Prince Kaito, I'm truly sorry, but I don't think I'm ready for that yet."
He smiled at her in a sincere and understanding way after pressing his lips against her forehead for a brief moment. "Princess Miku, it's completely alright. If you feel uncomfortable, you may pick whichever activity you would like to do instead."
And so, Miku thought. She thought and she thought and she thought. She put so much effort into thinking that it almost hurt. Before Kaito could express his worry about Miku's 'lack of intelligence', the Princess leaped to her feet and dashed to the closet. "I got this new blue gown that would just look great on you!"
"Princess Miku, I don't want to wear…" But it was clear to Prince Kaito that Miku couldn't hear a word he saying. He laughed softly at her childishness. It was just then that he noticed that there was a stack of paper on Miku's nightstand. "How the Princess of Pure was Reunited with the Prince of True" was written on the top page in charcoal. Needless to say, Prince Kaito was very interested in, what seemed to be, Miku's picture book.
He leaned over the papers and began to lightly skim through the pages. "Once upon a time there were two royal families. … The children of these kings and queens fell in, but they were not allowed to date, for their love was forbidden." Kaito paused after reading the first page, unable to look over his Princess's grammar error. The two of them 'fell in'? 'Fell in' what?
Even so, the Prince continued to the next page. "… the Princess so sad that she ran away and cried and cried and cried. … she met a peasant. … he was able to think of a magnificent plan to reunite the Prince and Princess together. … How could the kind and innocent Princess say no?"
"Thank you, kind and wise peasant, for reuniting us." Kaito expressed his gratitude quietly to himself before continuing to page three. The Prince had spoken too soon. "But what she soon learned was that … He constantly wanted to kiss her and touch her – he even wanted intercourse! Oh, his deep love for her was a scary one."
"… made the King and Queen hate the peasant more and more each day!" Kaito's immense anger cooled off as he said "Ha! I knew the King loved me". He then went on with the, he also assumed, non-fictional story. "That was when the peasant went too far – he gave the princess … drugs!"
That was it! Prince Kaito grasped Miku's right shoulder tightly as she threw the closet door open.
"Prince Kaito?" She asked in a state of confusion.
"Explain this to me!" Kaito demanded as he shoved the story pages in front of Miku's face with his free hand.
The Princess stared at it for a minute. "Oh!" She exclaimed. "You found my story book. Did you get to the last two pages? I especially enjoyed those the most." She giggled.
Of course, if Prince Kaito Shion of True was smart enough to read the pages where Len explains that he doesn't love Princess Miku Hatsune of Pure and Princess Miku Hatsune of Pure was dreaming of the Prince and Princess's marriage throughout the time she spent with Len, he wouldn't be so angry now, would he? Unfortunately Prince Kaito Shion of True was even stupider than Princess Miku Hatsune of Pure in some ways and didn't read the pages that clearly state that Len didn't love Princess Miku Hatsune of Pure and Princess Miku Hatsune of Pure was dreaming of the Prince and Princess's marriage throughout the time she spent with Len. But oh well!
"You enjoyed the things you did with that nasty, slimy, filthy peasant?" Kaito snarled through gritted teeth.
"Well of course I had little fun with Le…" Miku paused, trying to remember what that guy's name was. "Le… Le… Le Peasant!" She finally said with a heavy French accent.
Kaito was obviously hurt by those words. "Princess… how could you lie to me?"
"I guess this dress would look a little disturbing on you." She shrugged. "We could use the pipes in my vanity instead, if you want to, though."
Her Prince was appalled at what he was hearing. He couldn't believe what had happened to the woman he fell in love with. Obviously there was a misunderstanding between the two, considering Miku just wanted Prince Kaito to enjoy himself the way she did.
Kaito released his grip on Miku's shoulders, dropped the stack of papers on the floor, and headed towards the door.
"Ah, Prince Kaito, where are you going?"
He didn't even have the decency to look her in the eyes. "Princess Miku… I do not wish to see you… ever. Goodbye." And with that, he left.
Another unfortunate character trait of Miku is that she was very unintelligent and acted similar to the boneheaded girls seen in typical animes today. Meaning, she just fell to her knees and cried like an idiot instead of going after the person she loved.
I apologize to all of you guys who were waiting for this chapter. It's been, like, two months since I last updated and I know that's ridiculous! But I have an excellent reason as to why I didn't write this chapter until today:
- Internet/ Video Games/ TV
- Summer Break
- I'm young and lazy
Yeah, anyway, I'll be wracking my brain out tomorrow as I try to think of the next chapter.
Pokapi Out!~
