Shangri La Pt. 1

1: Agree to Disagree

"W-What?!?! 3-3 months before the wedding?!?! When is this wedding supposed to happen?!?!" 

"It will be in September." Momo froze, which meant she was about to have exactly 3 months until the wedding. 

"T-That's impossible! I can't trust a man in 3 months!" Momo yelled as her cheeks turned flush. 

"That's alright, we will make sure you two get to spend as much time as you can before the day comes." Pisces said happily. 

"B-But I- have you ever met the Prince?" Momo asked. 

"Not in person, but I'm sure he's a completely different person off the battlefield. So why don't you give it a try, Princess?" Pisces offered. 

Momo wasn't sure about anything at this point. 

Would this be safe, was this really a good idea?

Momo sighed and her eyes were filled with worry again. 

"Is this the safest way for my people and home?" Momo asked. 

"For your people and for his people, yes. I'm sure you two will gain trust and be a lot closer once you get to know each other more too." Pisces said sweetly. 

"Then I'll... send him a letter asking him to come here to stay until the wedding..." Momo said, as she blushed with embarrassment. 

"Hmph, we've already sent a letter." Momo froze, she looked up at the beautiful woman. 

"W-What?" 

"I knew there would be a way to convince you, so I sent one of my servants to take the letter themselves. I'm sure they're close to reaching the castle as we speak." Pisces said happily. 

'She- She knew I was going to change my mind?!?! What kind of power does she have?' Momo thought.

"Do not worry, the Prince will receive a letter from the Yaoyorozu Clan in no time, Princess." Pisces said. 

"I-I see..." 

Momo couldn't think of anything to really say. She was taken aback by the fact that the Great Pisces practically persuaded her to change her thoughts on Arranged Marriage. 

"Was there anything you wished to speak to me about, Princess?" Pisces asked. 

"Ah- no, I can't think of anything else right now." Momo said nervously. 

"I see, well you are welcome to come here to speak to me about anything your mind has to offer me. I will always listen to your requests, Princess." Pisces said, as her eyes smiled at Momo.

Momo stared at those deep Sapphire Blue eyes again, they always reminded her of the sea and how gentle but powerful they appeared to her. 

"Y-Yes... then I will be excusing myself now." Momo said, getting back on her feet and bowing to the Koi Fish woman and leaving soon after.

Pisces waited until she couldn't hear any footsteps and sighed. 

"Zeri, you can come out now." Pisces said, relaxing her posture.

The door behind Pisces opened and a woman with Electric Purple hair and Red Violet eyes appeared, and she appeared to have scars of what looked like lightning shocks. 

"I'm surprised you managed to persuade the Princess, then again you've always been able to persuade anyone with those eyes of yours." the woman, named Zeri, said. 

"Were you able to hear anything from those advisors that spoke to the Emperor and Empress earlier?" Pisces asked. 

"Yes, they reported they were going to speak to the White Lotus Organization as soon as they left. Which means you need to get there soon, Shiro." Zeri said.
