Thank you for everyone who's been reading here's another chapter. I know the main characters haven't been that involved as of yet but I'm just introducing the characters they will be back!

"I'm scared"

"No you're not" Kiara's father said she looked at him as they were going through the town outside of Hiryuu Castle, everyone on the street was looking on in awe, trying to get a glimpse of the princess in the carriage. Kiara had washed this morning at the inn, was wearing clean clothes, her hair was well done and she honestly couldn't fault her appearance right now, except that she was terrified, or to be more specific.

"Okay I'm nervous, what if he's ugly?"

"I've met him, he's not, in fact he seems too pretty"

"He could hate cats"

"Cats are the least of my worries"

"What if he keeps me trapped at Hiryuu castle forever?!"

"Kiara stop it, you're going to be fine, you're my daughter and the princess of the Kai Kingdom, and you will be the queen of Kouka"

"But what about Kai?"

"When I pass that will also fall to you"

"I don't like this" she pouts crossing her arms.

"I wasn't to fussed about marrying your mother either but she became the love of my life, who knows maybe luck will be on your side"

"Maybe" Kiara says peeking out of the curtain to see the gates of Hiryuu castle getting closer.

"What if he's evil?" she half whispers.

"I would never give my only daughter to an evil man Kiara I promise you, I knew his father, his uncle I even briefly met the former princess before her death, well their deaths I should say besides his father they were good people"

"What about his father?"

"I'm not quite sure, something about him always kept me on edge but he died many years ago, and Soo-Won was brought up by Emperor Il so he has the same temperament"

"I trust your judgment" Kiara says taking a deep breath, her father smiles.

"You look beautiful"

"Thank you, you're not too bad yourself" she notes, he was properly dressed up, even with his crown on, Kiara as well had her tiara entwined with her hair.

Please god I don't know what you have in store for me but give me strength Kiara prays.

The carriage comes to a halt and Kiara wants nothing more than to bolt back home to the Kai empire, her father takes her hand and they share a moment before he exits the carriage holding out his hand for her, she takes it trusting herself to his strength, and follows him out, there are two at the entrance of castle, Joo-Doh and another man who promptly walked down to them bowing

"Your highness, it's an honour for Hiryuu castle to reserve such important guests, his highness is awaiting your arrival in the great hall, I am Kye-Sok adviser to the king should you need anything while you are here do not hesitate to ask"

"It's rather improper to not met us out here but I'll forgive it for my daughters sake, lead the way"

"Of course your highness" Kye-Sok says bowing again he leads the way inside, Kiara's father following, Kiara takes a quick glance around.

"Come princess" Joo-Doh says, she looks back to him, he offers her his hand and she takes it ascending the stairs.

"I promise no harm will come to you on my watch" he assures her, he seemed very sincere, even though she had never seen him smile, or show much emotion beside obedience and shock she trusted him at his word.

"I'll hold you to that" she says with a smile while his face shows no emotion she sees a slight glimmer in his eyes, she'd take that as a smile.

The King of the Kouka Kingdom sat on the throne as the four person party approached, Kye-Sok bowed to the king before stepping up to the dais.

"My lord let me introduce the king of the Kai Empire and his daughter Princess Kiara"

"Your highness" her father slightly bowed to him, Soo-Won stood and did the same, before turning to Kiara, their eyes met, jeez he was handsome she quickly curtsied to him, thankful that even with her nerves she didn't waver, Joo-Doh had taken his position to the right of Soo-Won.

"It's a great pleasure to have you here, I'm glad your trip had no problems" Soo-Won says suddenly becoming very friendly, was this what Joo-Doh meant when he said the king sometimes appeared like an idiot?

"Yes, yes good, anyway I want to discuss somethings with you, so if you don't mind can one of your servants show my daughter to her room"

"Of course" Soo-Won says with a smile.

"Joo-Doh, please show Princess Kiara to her room, I hope it is to your liking" he says to her.

"I'm sure it will be" she says with another curtsy, she turns from them to walk with Joo-Doh out of the great hall.

So that was him…he's very good looking, strong, he seemed a little airheaded but at the same time, a lot was hidden in those beautiful eyes, what a beautiful mystery to unwrap

Kiara thought as they turned down corridors and stopped at one room, Joo-Doh slid open the door.

"If you need anything there will be servant around everywhere, your luggage will be brought in momentarily, we'll be having dinner at six"

"I'll see you there then" Kiara says Joo-Doh bows to her and leaves, Kiara closes the door and waits for her belongings, she snoops around her room, it was quite nice, but defiantly temporary she guessed since when she was married she would share… Kiara shivered putting that from her mind. She sat by the window which over looked a garden and started thinking about Princess Yona what had really happened? Did she really fall off a cliff? Did Hak kill the previous king? Somehow she didn't believe that, she'd met him, he was overly protective of Yona, they all were, and she couldn't believe he would do something that would hurt her.

A lot of things didn't make sense and she wished she could talk to Yona and her friends she remembered they said to look out for mention of 'The Dark Dragon and the Happy Hungry Bunch' how they came up with that name she didn't want to know but she was determined she would see them again, and she'd reveal who she was too, she started daydreaming about meeting them seeing their faces, Yona's kind smile, Jae-ha flirting, Kija panicking, Yoon mothering, Shin-ah's silent presence, Hak's watchful gaze and Zeno…something about Zeno made Kiara happy she wasn't sure why he just had had that affect, yeah she looked forward to seeing all of them again.

Okay another chapter is over tell me what you think and get ready for more intense actions after all this traveling around, I might slip in a Yona and the others scene in either the next chapter or the one after for sure.
