Chapter 9 - Marriage

Opening her eyes she blinked away the blurriness from sleep and the memory of last night as she sat up. It was morning which meant anothey day. The unsuspecting female does not know that something will happen today that could save or ruin her for the rest of her life.

Crescent was walking through the halls of the palace when he saw him, the silver haired prince. Cresent tried hide to avoid being notice when her uncle called her. She has failed to noticed him among the crowd when he sole focus was on the said prince. With no choice Crescent proceed and greeted the party. "Greetings! To the Sun of Eastern Kingdom, Lord Lei Mo." she greeted and proceededs to greet the rest of the guest.

"Greetings! To the Lord and Ladies of the West and its little stars. I'm Crescent Luna de Yui, welcoming you to East. I apologised for greeting you this late."

Lord Touga took in the sight of her. He observed her innocent eyes before looking at her dark straight hair glistering, as the sun touch it. Small button nose with a plum pink lips. The Lord seem pleased with his future daughter in law looks.

"A pleasure greeting the Jewel of East" greets back by Lord follows by the greeting her mate and wife to his heirs."

After the formalities were spoken the group proceeded to go the dinning area for breakfast.

Aside from the Lord, Lady Tsubaki took notice her elegance and strong aura on which the just smirk on what she has discovered.

True, her kinds does not think highly of the humans, especially for her, bearing the purest blood amongts all of the beast. But seeing this little female, make her excited. Her husband may have not know but she knew that this little lady was strong just from the aura she was feeling from her. She is a Saint, but her powers were suppressed.And a faint smell of bloodlust was still lingerings to this little female form.

'an interesting human. A princess who is also a saintess. A Saintess who is bath by blood. Ha! I wonder what interesting show this little female will do in the future.' though by Lady Tsubaki.

The Lady knows that this union is bound to be broken. It is not only the humans who has doubts with this union even the beasts. She does not know what was her mate thinking about this union but this little lady will surely be hurt in the future. She just hopes that this human can endure it and won't break. The Lady sympathetically looked at Crescent and glance at her son.

Crescent looked down at the food and began eating slowly. The breakfast was great, but as usual her mind ended up wandering and she began to play a guessing game. ' What could uncle possibly have to talk to me about?' she thought as she amused herself with the thought that maybe he was going to tell her to kill the heirs or the ladies? or the Lord?' She smiled when she thought that there is a high chance the he will indeed order her with that tasks. The more her thoughts traveled down this path the more she began to believe it. And because of his greed, there is no questions that eventually an order will be delivered in her room tonight.

"Princess Luna."

Her lined of thought was cut off when someone called her name. She abruptly risen her head and looked for someone who has calles her.

"Luna." her eyes stops searching and focus to her her uncles form. " Yes, my Lord?"

" There is something I would like to tell you about. You will be wed to the first prince of the West. A week from now, preparation for the wedding was already been made and fitting for your gown will be done after the breakfast." The sudden words utters by uncle was still not registiring. I was shock to what I have heard that I forgot to mind my manners and drop the fork that I was holding. The clattering sound rings towards the rooms that I could feel threatening glare of my uncle towards me. Then all of a sudden a loud *bang* was heard. I watch as the first prince angrely glares at his father then looked at me. Our eyed met. And I could see the pure hatred in it. I shivers runs to my spines while meeting those eyes.

I would feel it!

His malice!

I have fought countless beasts and humans in the past years but nothing could ever prepared me to face thoses eyes. I feel like a prey being eyed by the predature. Its suffocating, I could not breath. My knees are losing streght that at any moment I could faint.

" Akitou! Enough!"

The suffocating air stops, I cough as I hungerily breaths for air. Opening my eyes and blinked away the blurriness from my tears. I could see the first prince staring daggers to his father and storms out of the dining room.

Her breathing was heavy and she was shaking. Trembling fingers grabbed her chair before steading her weak legs.

"Princess! Princess are you alright?" the maid asked in a panic." Im fine." I replied to the maid and looked at the uncle.

"Princess, I apologise for what my heir has done. He must have been shock on what he has learned." apologised by the Lord Touga.

" But fear not, the wedding will still proceed. I would talked with my heir about this. Excused us." I watch as Lord Touga left the dining room but to my surprise the found the Lady of the West watching me. How long does she been watching me?

The Lady then excuse herself but Lord Tougas wife and second son remained. And is that a smile? What the f*cked! Is he laughting!? Did this rascal thinks that what has happened was funny?! I was infuriated, because of that smile I remembered that I was breath away from hell! This rascal!!!

I too asked to be excused and left the dining room. I dont know what will I do if I still continued staying there for another second. Those beast!

Whats the problem with that damn second prince! Oh, I forgot that f*cking psycho first prince! What is name again? .....Kito? .....Kuto?

the heck, I don't know! I don't want to be married with that psycho, I was almost killed today. Whats more, if this marriage continue who knew if I would be a corpse a day after the wedding.

Crescent angrely storm the hallways
