"I did not expect this at all" The Moon Princess Tsukuyomi spoke with a sheepish smile. "Your highness?" The loyal servant stuttered with worry and fear. "Nothing for you to worry, Akiho. You can stay and observe the warrior if you are worried about him" The Princess left laughing quietly to herself. The servant, who has lived longer than the princess, who knows the princess than anyone at all is worried. Princess Tsukuyomi has great powers and hidden abilities that even the servant does not know. The princess keeps a lot of secrets. The servant smiled. "Surely, The Princess would never put her own beloved cousin in danger and get amused by it. She would never" Akiho whispered as she continues to watch over the warrior.
She has served this family longer than anyone. Akiho's family has lived under the rooves of Mirai Castle ever since her childhood. Her parents owed the Mirai Family after the King and Queen of Nihon took their family in. Sadly, The King and Queen along with her parents and older brother died in the War of Asahi when they were making the attempt to save the Asahi castle. That was the day she vowed to protect the three remaining royalties of the three Castles of Nihon. She knows the three royalties well but now, she is having second thoughts if she actually knows the Mirai Princess. Tsukuyomi is the most selfless and most caring person Akiho has encountered. No one, not even the King and Queen or the other royal families from Nihon was a compare with the Mirai Princess. She never lies. She is an honest person and not even once she lied to anyone. The King and Queen once lied to that Warrior Prince which did not end quite well as he despised his aunt and uncle but Tsukuyomi, even though she knows that she will be in trouble, she told the Warrior Prince the truth about what happened to his parents and what the King and Queen did to his memories of that war. These unnatural actions of the princess must be something that Akiho should not worry about or pry about.
The servant continued to watch over the warrior who is in the middle of an existential crisis. Akiho grew up taking care of these royalties and never once in her life has she saw the warrior prince this confused. The prince would never cry and the prince would only smile if he is satisfied. But this time, the prince is confused about his true feelings. Seeing the prince use his healing powers to someone he does not know entirely made the servant feel so puzzled. The only time she saw the prince use this magic was for himself or for The Prince Naoyuki. The unnatural actions. He would not even dare to let the princess hug him yet he hugged this stranger on purpose. The Princess Tsukuyomi and The Warrior Prince Hyousuke are behaving too differently. Should she be worried? She does not know. What are the plans that the princess was talking about? She wanted to know. Ever since the princess matured, she hid a lot of secrets from the servant.
She watched the prince again who is now spouting words. "Tsukuyomi, what is your real reason for sending me?" The prince frowned and his brows furrowed. "I wish I could answer you myself but the princess would not even dare to tell me" The servant whispered. She knows Hyousuke would not hear that but she wishes he can. The Princess Tsukuyomi soon came back with a small on her lips. "Why don't we leave the prince alone for now. It is currently night time and surely, he would not want anyone to watch him sleep" The servant flinched with the sudden appearance of the princess. "Yes...You are right" The servant stepped away from the magical waters as Tsukuyomi closed it with her magic. "I think it would be for the best if you get some rest. You have been watching over my cousin for so long and I assume that it is very tiring" The princess paused. "However for me, I need to stay up until I am finished with my task" The princess sighed and walked away slowly.
"Your Highness" Akiho spoke. She is too curious about what the princess has planned for her cousin and this might be the right time to ask about it. "Hm?" The stopped on her steps and looked back at the frowning servant. "Your plans for The Warrior Prince, what is it?" The Princess smiled and walked towards the servant. "Though I do want to tell you, I think it is best if you do not know. After all, this is for the prince to figure out on his own. You do not need to worry about him"
"But why did you say this is not what you expected to happen and you were amused about it" Akiho is not suspecting the princess on putting her cousin in danger she is just concerned. "I did not send the prince out there to punish him. I sent him for a different reason. But knowing Hyousuke he might be feeling miserable because it's always cold there and he will think it's a punishment. Knowing that something out of my control happened quite amused me and me feeling amused about it is not a bad thing, but a good thing. Trust me, Akiho. This is for everyone's good"
"Are you really not going to tell me about your plans?"
"Not yet. The time will come where I will tell you everything and I will not lie to anyone. You will find out soon, Akiho. Soon" The princess' words made Akiho feel more uneasy. But Akiho should not doubt the Princess' words. If the trustworthy princess said that her plans will cause no harm to the prince then she should believe. If it is for everyone's greatness then there is nothing for Akiho to worry about.
