Hyousuke closed his eyes and let the cold wind blow to his face, relaxing his nerves, ignoring the noise surrounding him. He was too tired to deal with these people and he was sure that if he ever attacked anyone in midday, The Princess's servant would just get in his way and he wouldn't want to kill his dearest cousin's most important servant, who she treats like her own sister. The violent prince opened his eyes after hearing a very familiar voice of a young boy, he quickly looked down from his castle's roof and saw his younger cousin that he used to train on how to use a sword. "Naoyuki?" He spoke to himself. Quickly jumping from roof to roof until he reached the ground. He ran quickly, following his cousin towards the tall red door of Mirai Castle. "Oi!" He yelled. The Archeologist Prince looked behind him and saw his cousin running towards him. "Prince Hyousuke!" He yelled back.
The violent soon reached his younger cousin and quickly ruffled his hair. "It's been so long, kid. Where have you been?" Joy can be felt by the tone of the Prince, obviously missed the younger prince. "Well, you know, exploring the mysterious caves of Kōri, doing archeology things for his highness" The Archeologist Prince answered. "Well, let's head in then" Both princes went inside the throne room. As much as Hyousuke hates this place, he missed his favorite cousin and would definitely wait for him even if it's gonna take him days. As they went in, Hyousuke was greeted again by the brow curling Akiho who's next by the Princess. "Naoyuki!" For a moment, Princess Tsukuyomi lost her calm and elegant side and ran towards his cousin, hugging him so tight. "I- I missed you too, Tsukuyomi" Naoyuki stuttered but hugged back. "Your highness, what are you doing here?" Akiho asked with annoyance, looking at the violent prince. "My cousin just came back. Don't forget that I'm part of this family and Naoyuki lives at the Castle of Inazuma" His smug look made the servant even more annoyed. "Quiet, you two" Retorted the princess. "Yes, your highness" Akiho replied.
"Tsukuyomi, why call me so early?" Naoyuki finally asked. "I have a huge request for you, prince" Tsukuyomi answered, collecting her elegance again. "But it would be proper if Prince Hyousuke couldn't hear us" The Princess added, whispering her words so the other man wouldn't hear. "Let's have a walk around the castle!" Naoyuki suggested. "I'll come" Hyousuke Spoke. "No, you are not coming, Prince Hyousuke. I need a little privacy with my cousin" Tsukuyomi smiled. "You too, Akiho. You two shall go anywhere you like but not even near us. I need to properly talk to Prince Naoyuki"
"What is it you want to say, Princess?" Naoyuki asked when they have left the throne room. Tsukuyomi stood quietly. They are now in front of an empty castle lounge, one that is facing her garden. The Princess took off her tight sandals and set on the edge of the wooden floor, touching the green grass below her feet. Naoyuki followed suit. The royalties' stroll stopped. Her dark purple eyes shimmering, lips pouting, she held her younger cousin's hand. "I have a request for you!" The princess shouted, pleading for her cousin's acceptance. "Sure, Tsukuyomi. Tell me anything" Naoyuki stuttered, shocked with his cousin's behavior. I've never seen her like this. Thought, Naoyuki. "In the Land of Kōri, there is a prince, right? A prince so noble and powerful" The Nihon Princess paused. "But so sad and lonely" The princess added. Tsukuyomi looked away from her cousin's eyes, looking at the beautiful view of her garden. "Are you talking about Prince Hiromitsu?" The archeologist prince asked out of curiosity. "Yes. The prince with shimmering Sapphire blue eyes and bright blonde hair, skin so fair and pale. The prince who holds such powerful magic, as strong as the most powerful sorcerer and sorceress of the Earth. Prince Hiromitsu" The archeologist prince eyes widened. How could she know what Prince Hiromitsu looks like? He spoke to himself.
"Tsukuyomi, how could you know his appearance? I am sure you have never seen the prince before" Naoyuki spoke. Still shocked by the Princess of Nihon's answer to him. "A princess who was born under the full moon like me has abilities that no one can ever imagine" The Nihon Princess paused. "Now, my request. It is for you to take Prince Hyousuke with you once you go back to the Land of Kōri. I want you to introduce him to Prince Hiromitsu and find an occupation that will suit the prince. Don't worry, if you successfully complete this request of mine, I'll allow you to take as much sakura flowers as you want" The Prince's eyes widened again. "You know about Princess Sakura?" He asked. "The Desert Princess who holds such powers of a true magician? Yes, I do" Tsukuyomi again paused. "Now, do you accept my request?" The Princess stood up straight and brought her elegancy back. Looking at straight at her cousin's chocolate brown eyes. "Of course"
"You'll go back the day after tomorrow, right?" Tsukuyomi asked but not out of curiosity, more like, for confirmation. Naoyuki nodded as an answer. "I'll have him ready before then. For now, you can rest and have fun with the Prince Hyousuke" Naoyuki nodded and smiled again. "Naoyuki" The princess suddenly spoke, making the archeologist look back at her again. "Good luck with your love. And don't tell Hyousuke about this" The archeologist was puzzled, head filled with questions, wondering what the princess meant but managed to nod and smile as an answer.
Naoyuki walked out of the hallway they were in, meeting Akiho in the corner waiting for her princess. They smiled at each other as respect. The archeologist then walked out of the tall red door of Mirai Castle bumping to his other cousin who's older than him. "What did you and Tsukuyomi talked about?" The violent prince asked with a fierce tone. "Oh, it's just a request from the Princess" Naoyuki answered. Walking past his cousin to avoid eye contact and interrogating questions about the request. "Hey, don't just ignore me" Hyousuke followed Naoyuki. "The princess wishes to not tell you or anyone about this. Sorry" Naoyuki manage to answer. "There's no forcing you then, huh? After all, you are committed to Princess Tsukuyomi" Hyousuke just smiled at his cousin making Naoyuki smile back. "Alright, I understand"
