**after a week, at night in a chamber of the palace**
_"I told you not to show up at the palace before the wedding day, it could be dangerous if someone found you here" was whispering a female voice to a man standing in the gardens of the palace.
_"but my princess how long is this going to take I can't stand it anymore I miss you" said back the man loudly
_"shut up! Don't talk so loud, you have to be patient remember I am soon to be his wife, I have worked so hard for this, I am so close to getting what I want and latter we can be together and have all the fun you want"
_"what are you seeking here! You have all the lands you want, all the gold, all the dresses, what else would you want from here?"
_"imbecile! I need power, power the throne of my family was given to my old brother he has all the power the control while I have nothing but useless stuff, I want power here"
_"but if you marry him you only share a bit of the power! Why on earth are you working so hard for a bit?"
_"for the love of gods! Did you really think that I was going to stay under his shadows for ever; one night, only one night and the whole kingdom will belong to me, all the power. Once the ceremony of the wedding is over, the poor king will see nothing but his tomb. Now go and let me focus on my plan"
The man ran out of the gardens and the princess came into her chamber with a dark smile on her face, waiting impatiently for the day to shine…
**the next day**
Hitomi's green eyes opened softly and looked around; she found her self in an unusual chamber and remembered that she was in the fannel residence. She suddenly smiled at the sight of the old toys Varie used to bring for her to play with when she was in palace. She stood up and looked out the window and to her surprise she found that it was still dawn as the sun barely showed its beautiful lights over the lands.
She left her chamber and decided to have a walk in the gardens. As she walked in the wide green yard she remembered the first time she had walked up here to meet the person she never wished to meet…
…-"hitomi my dear come I want to introduce you to my son" queen Varie took the hand of the three year old girl and led her nicely to the palace gardens they were really huge in hitomi's tiny eyes and she could find her self easily lost and impossible to find, she suddenly noticed in the middle of all the greenness a small black spot that appeared to be the wild hair of the small boy named:
_"van, van darling come here, I want you to meet a nice friend you can play with"
"Yeah the old days, oh I hated him since the first day what a brat!" then hitomi remembered what happened a week ago the first time she saw van again after so many years…
_"go on hitomi why do you stand like this dear, kneel in front of prince van" whispered her mother
To hitomi's big surprise, van smiled at her and held her hand gently in his and kneeled gently and kissed it.
_"welcome lady hitomi, it is so nice to see you again in my modest palace, I am very pleased that you are attending my wedding"
_" oh but…but (hitomi stood still)
_"lady hitomi, are you ok?"
_"oh but…but who are you and what did you do with van?"
Did he really change that much? It was hard to believe, finally Alexander was right so small kid had grown up, but what Alexander was right about mostly was the busy schedule the king had for his wedding she hadn't seen him the past week not even for breakfast dinner or lunch… as she thought of everything in the past week she saw the sight of the familiar wild dark hair.
_"your highness! What are you doing here at this time of the day?"
Van who was deeply thinking didn't see hitomi walk behind him and her voice calling surprised him.
_"lady hitomi! I haven't noticed you were here, I ask you back the question"
_"well my eyes opened alone, and I decided to have a nice walk, I always loved those gardens"
_"yes they are lovely aren't they? I always come here to set my head straight and take a deep breath before I start of with a quit busy day"
_"preparing or the wedding is certainly tiring but at least it is exiting, to marry someone you love gives you the straight of working all life long"
_"hum…someone you love…"
_"excuse me your highness did you say something"
_"no, no not at all…lady hitomi can I ask for a favor?"
_"yes your highness"
_"stop calling me your highness please call me van"
_"what?"
Hitomi couldn't believe it first the polite greeting and second this, he is asking her to stop calling him with his title, and she had a hard time believing that who she heard was van fannel…
hitomi felt another slap on her back:
_"aw! What was that for?"
_"I told you girly, it's the way to say hello"
_"how many times do you need to say hello?"
_"as much as I want I am the king you get that!"
_"but you are still just the prince, you are not king yet"
_"who told you so? I decide when I want to be king, I love being king having the power to do what ever I want"
Hitomi just couldn't get what he said just now out of her head, all she could do was smile back at him feeling incredibly happy from the inside and reply nicely:
_"well in that case call me hitomi, simply hitomi"
