It was the night of lantern festival. King Akihiro found himself wandering along the street as a disguised commoner. The streets filled with lights and colors. Happiness and celebrations echoed through the air. He felt a relief about them as their leader. But suddenly atmosphere changed. Men and Women around him started to bow. He was curious who was it. He went through the crowd and saw the most beautiful and innocent looking maiden he ever saw in his life. His heart was trumping and beating fast as a war drum. He couldn't take his eyes from her. Her smile was brighter than the stars, her beauty was greater than the full moon.
"Sakura," an older voice called her.
"Coming father," her voice rang like a silver bell.
"Sakura, Sakura," King Akihiro mumbled over and over like he was studying her name. His Sakura disappeared through the crowd like a fairy queen. He tried his best to track her but she was already gone.
"Sakura," he looked at the bright moon with a beating heart.
