Chapter 25: Chapter 22 - No One

Nakada Ryota stayed a while in his room after Miyu left. After some thinking, he left to see his mother. She was still sitting on the porch watching the training field, and the other woman was still there. Ryota wondered why Miyu wanted to make this woman jealous, he doesn't know her.

"Hello mother, how are you?" Ryota says. Kouki turns around and smiles when she sees him. She gets up from her chair to give him a hug.

"Oh, how are YOU, my dear child? I just saw you in the field with that string woman, I heard that she's your fiance?"

Ryota grinned, "That's the woman you told me about, the one you saw at the bar!"

Kouki dropped her jaw, "I've completely forgotten about that! Please forgive your mother's poor memory, but I'm happy for you. I can't believe you've found that girl!"

Ryota smiled at her as he patted her head, "I'm surprised as well, she wasn't easy to find."

Kouki pouts, "It seems like she was, because you found her in a day."

Ryota nods his head and glances at the woman next to his mother. He separated with her and walked up to the woman, "My name is Nakada Ryota, may I ask who you are?"

He holds out a hand to to the woman, who took it happily, "We met today earlier, my name is Fujimura Kasumi."

*****

Kasumi was a little pissed that her dream lover has forgotten about her AND has a fiance without her knowing. 'Weren't you waiting for me? Why did you choose someone else? YOU'RE MINE!'

Kasumi didn't show her emotions though, she only allowed herself to shake his hands happily.

"I'm so sorry, lots of things happened today and I couldn't keep track of everything, " Ryota said softly, which made Kasumi's heart beat fast.

Kasumi automatically forgave him and said, "No matter, you must be doing so much for our empire. I mean, you are the heir, my prince."

Ryota nods his head in thanks. He let's go of her hand and her brain is telling her to hold on, to keep his warmth. But she reluctantly let go with a small smile on her face.

Ryota neared her, which made her breath hitch, "May you keep the fact that I have a fiance a secret, she doesn't really want to be talked about."

Kasumi nods her head, willing to do anything for this man in front of her. She was also willing to do anything to HAVE this man in front of her.

"Sure thing, " Kasumi said. She will make sure NO ONE will know about this, and keep telling facade that Ryota's waiting for her. When she saw that woman and Ryota touch each other so intimately, she felt jealousy fire up in her heart.

Ryota's hers, and no one, she means NO ONE, will take him away from her.

*****

Ryota was beginning to feel a little creeped out by Kasumi. She kept staring at him longingly, even though he doesn't a single thing from her. When he heard that she was Miyu's sister, he finally understood why Miyu wanted to keep the marriage a secret. Her sister is crazy! Kasumi has a possessive attitude that makes Ryota want to run away from her. Ryota kept note to try to stay away from this woman as much as possible.

Ryota kissed his mother in the cheek before saying, "I've got to leave, it was nice seeing you mother."

Kouki gave out a gracious smile, "Oh, what have I done in my past life to get such a kind son like you? I feel like the luckiest woman alive!"

He gave a small smile, "I feel lucky as well mother."


Chapter 26: Chapter 23 - First Stop

Nakada Ryota was ready to leave but Kasumi stopped him, "Wait! Where are you going, I can come with you!"

Ryota turned around to look at Kasumi with piercing eyes, "You think you can handle where I'm going?"

Kasumi nodded her head quickly, "As long as I'm by your side, I'm not afraid of anything!"

Ryota grinned, which made Kasumi's heart stop. What Kasumi didn't know is that the grin had a hidden meaning behind it, 'You're going to regret saying that.'

Ryota gestured with his hands to let her follow him, which she gladly does. She skips behind him, her shoes clacking against the ground. He walks gracefully, giving off an aura of royalty. Kasumi feels honored to be walking by her side, and when Ryota wasn't looking she looked at the servants and guards lined up against the wall the hallways with arrogance. The servants already began to hate her and the guards already began to dispise her.

Ryota walks towards the throne room and opens the two heavy doors without much power. He walks in front of his father who was alone in the room, like usual, and bows. Kasumi bows right next to him, nearing him every second. He felt uncomfortable and he didn't show that, but his father noticed.

"Who is this, Ryota?"

Ryota clears his throat and says, "This is Fujimura Kasumi, father."

He nods his head and stares Kasumi down. The cold glare makes Kasumi visibly shiver, ready giving the emperor a bad impression if her.

"What is she doing here?" The emperor says with his booming voice.

"She wanted to come along," Ryota says calmly.

The Emperor raises his eyebrows at this, but doesn't retort, "Then why are you here, son?"

"I'm here to talk about my fiance, father, " Ryota says, making Kasumi stiffen. Jealous spread from her heart to her lungs to her entire body.

The emperor grunts, "What about her?"

"Do you like her, " Ryota asks simply, but tell question isn't that simple.

The Emperor takes a while to respond, maybe around a few minutes, before saying, "Yes."

It was one word, but it made Ryota's day. Not caring about his mask, he grins. His face seems like the sun, beautiful and shinning. Kasumi was shocked, she's never seen him smile like that. Along with that shock was hatred, hatred for the woman who made him smile like that. While Kasumi was angry, the emperor was astonished. He's never seen his son smile like that either, and it made him happy and sad. He's happy that his son has met someone that makes Ryota like this, but sad that Ryota react like this to him. It's true that the emperor was cruel during Ryota's childhood, but it was because he cared. He wanted Ryota to grow up safe and understand the meanings of war and betrayal, like the emperor has. But at the moment, the Emperor was happy for his son to get a woman that makes him smile like a thousand stars.

Ryota quickly closed his mouth and gave off an aura of indifference, "Thank you for your opinion, father. I'm sure she'll be happy to hear that."

The emperor nods and dismisses them. Ryota leaves hurriedly with Kasumi chasing him.

When Kasumi catches up, she says, "That wasn't so bad, why were you worried about me?"

Ryota turns around with an evil glint, "That was the first stop, now let's go to the second."
