The Prince and The warrior Princess

. Chapter 1

Warrior; a name conveying a person who can protect, defend, fight, be resilient and be strong-willed against injustice and discrimination against the weak. A warrior; someone who fight for his country, isn't it a great name to give to your child? Born as the son of a king, Warrior was known as the most beautiful man to ever exist in the kingdom of Aslaidaa. True to his name, Warrior was one of the most courageous princes known- eh no. while he was indeed an Adonis, a beauty that was able to capture the heart of women including men, Warrior was rather a disappointment. However, he made up for it in other ways.

Standing at 5'6 with gorgeous shoulder length curly black hair, glowing red eyes and pale white skin, Warrior, the prettiest man in the kingdom was in his garden, reading a book about dragons and fairies. He has always been fascinated by these stories. Long ago, these creatures really existed but due to mutation that wasn't in their favor, witches, vampires, werewolves and other creatures ceased to exist. Because of his red eyes and pale skin, Warrior was probably a descendant of vampires.

While these creatures indeed stopped existing, some of their traits did not disappear. For example, Warrior had a pretty good vision even in the dark while his brother who was a descendant of wolves had a hearing 3 times more powerful than most human. Unlike warrior, his brother was a pretty good fighter

Engrossed in the book he was reading; Warrior failed to notice the person looking at him from the bushes until he heard a bow. His heart started pounding when he felt a sudden breeze right next to his cheeks. Hearing a pained groan, he turned around and saw a man pierced with an arrow on the ground. The arrow had gone right through his head and he was now lying dead with his blood spilling everywhere.

Confused but not surprised, Warrior looked around for the archer. By now, he had survived a decent amount of assassination attempts so he wasn't exactly shocked, just curious. It took him only a few second to notice a figure hiding behind the branches of a tall tree.

Because of his vision, he had the ability to focus only on his desired target while the rest of the view was blurred to maximize the effect of his powers. This had a downside since he was now vulnerable to his surroundings. After noticing the persons aura, Warrior immediately switched to his normal vision. He was rather creeped out and felt vulnerable while using his powers.

"Come out right now, I saw you" Warrior said, pointing at the leaves. If someone saw him point at nowhere, one would think that Warrior had lost his mind. He could see the branches move and saw a figure jump down from the tree. Approaching right now was a woman with long red hair and brown eyes that fixed on Warrior's face. The woman had her face covered with a piece of clothed yet, her eyes captivated Warrior's attention.

The woman in question kneeled silently in front of Warrior and the man couldnt help but let out a noise of embarrassment when the woman took his delicate hands, pressing her covered mouth on his knuckles.

"My prince" The woman said in a soft voice and the way she called his title kind of made him feel funny. Clearing his throat, warrior placed his hand behind his back, looking away.

The womans stare was too much for him to handle. He realized he was currently behaving like a shy virgin but... he literally was one!!

Guards started filling the place while the woman got up. Removing a sword, she protectively stood next to warrior, pointing the sword at the guards in case they attacked the prince but when she saw the queen arriving, she immediately knelt, bowing her head politely.

All sorts of questions were running into warriors mind.

Who exactly was this woman and why did she save him?

"Guards, take his body away and clean the floor of his blood. Princess Venus, please get up. You're after all the princess of the elf community." The queen ordered and the woman got up

"It is such a great honor for me to meet you in person, my queen" She replied and the Queen smiled politely before looking at her son, softening her gaze.

"Scared?" she asked, relieved when his son shook his head

Hmm, as always, I see

Ah, how they grow up so fast!

The queen thought, remembering the little Warrior who would hide behind her dress because he feared thunder.

Look at him now, taking an assassination attempt as a normal occurrence

"Warrior, let me introduce you to princess Venus, your future wife" The queen said and shocked, Warrior dropped his book on the ground. Bending down to pick it up, he quickly wiped the book, internally apologizing to it for having dropped it

"My what now!?" Warrior exclaimed and the queen was amused at his reaction

"I said what I said, didnt I? Venus is your future wife. Unless you already have someone, you are going to marry her" The queen ordered and Warrior swore he never heard such bullshit before.

"I refuse!" Warrior exclaimed and the queen only smiled, expecting the reaction from Warrior.

"Of course, you do. I will leave you alone with the princess for a....discussion," The queen replied before going back to the castle.

"Is it because I'm flat?" Venus teased and Warrior's eyes unconsciously shifted to the woman's chest.

Turning pink, he looked away, ignoring the heat in his cheeks

"With all due respect, the size of your chest is none of my concern. You were forced into marrying me, right? Why don't we refuse the proposal together?" Warrior suggested

"What makes you think that I am against this marriage? It's either you or another shitty prince. It's either me, or another princess. Do you really think that if we deny the proposition, our parents will stop looking for another partner?" Venus questioned and as much as he hated to admit it, she spoke nothing but the truth.

"Still....marriage? Im only 21!" He exclaimed

"And Im 20 " She said and frustrated, Warrior let out a sigh.

"Why do they want us to marry each other anyway?" Warrior asked

"Well sweetheart, it's for political reason of course. Your kingdom is one of the largest suppliers regarding food and clothes. We were promised price reductions on many items as well as free movement from your kingdom to mine. As for my kingdom, we're all great warriors and our defense are high. Your parents are getting more and more concerned about you so they suggested a marriage proposal. Because it will benefit my people, I was not able to refuse" Venus explained and ignoring the rather questionable pet name, Warrior understood the reasoning of the princess.

He has long known that as a prince who has a duty towards his people, he would have to participate in the kingdom affairs; even is his brother was the next king. He, however, did not expect it to happen so soon.

After finally getting over his shock and after having processed the answer of the princess, Warrior slowly nodded in understanding.

"I am still not ready to give my decision yet. While I am not refusing the marriage, I am not going to accept it either. I apologies but I do hope that you understand where I am coming from" Warrior apologized and he heard the woman laugh

Was she laughing at him?

"My dear sweetheart, Ive never met such a cute person in my entire life. You make me want to have you at all cost" Venus teased and Warrior glared at her, his cheeks turning red while his heart raced against his chest.

"Do not call me sweetheart! I am not cute at all!! If you would please excuse me"

Not being able to bear the embarrassment, Warrior quickly walked inside the castle

Marriage? Absolutely not!
