Giuyy X Shinobu ~oneshots~ requests (OPEN)

jewel smith/royalty

... Ok, I'm sorry for basically dying for a few months, I've been caught up on things in my personal life, here's the new story.

I present to you: another royalty/fantasy au because I love medieval time prompts sue me! The ending might be rushed, sorry.

Sanemi is a commoner, a jewl-smith, if you will. He is respected and skilled at his craft, he even catches the attention of princess Kanae.

Kanae is a royal, a princess. Her duties often come in the way of her own needs yet she finds herself falling for the jewl-smith.

Shinobu is her younger sister and more rebellious than her older sister. She has more freedoms as she is not expected to become queen.

Giyuu is also a jewl-smith, but he takes more decorative roles in the shop, usually handling the decorative gemstones and carvings on jewlery.

-My dear sister, Are you mad?" Shinobu's eyes were wide as saucers as she questioned her older sister who, at the time, was lying face down on her bed.

-I think I am." She replied honestly. Shinobu rubbed her temple, this was not good.

Shinobu often snuck out of the castle to see the town and hang out with the other younger townsfolk. Kanae was more often than not busy in the castle, but at times Shinobu convinced her to come along on her escapades. One of those outings led to Kanae meeting a man named Sanemi. A hot headed yet somehow polite lad that was respected in the kingdom for his jewlery work. He owned a shop with another man named Giyuu tomioka, or "loner" as Shinobu put it. The two were always at odds bit they did a fine job in their craft.

-You do know it will never work, Right?" Shinobu said bluntly. Kanae only pressed herself more in to the pillows. She would have given away anything, even her title, to be with him.

-I know... I have a duty to my kingdom. He knows that, I know that, you know that.. everyone knows that." She lamented. Shinobu turned her gaze to the ceiling. The room suddenly felt cold, she could see just how anguished it made her sister.

-So then.. why are you still fighting for him?" Shinobu muttered. she knew she was being a hypocrite. The more time she spent with Giyuu the more she understood why Kanae was willing to do anything to keep seeing him. Kanae stayed quiet for a long moment before raising her head from the sating pillows, her hair a mess, her eyes glimmering with sadness.

-He promised to recreate our mother's ring.." she said. Shinobu's eyes widened once more. The ring their mother wore was at the bottom of the ocean along with the rest of her. That ring was commissioned by the princesses father.

-If he does that... Surely father will have to consider him.." Kanae tried to sound hopeful, but they both knew it was a long shot. That ring was imbued with all the affection their father wanted to give their mother. The king had searched for months for the best emerald in the kingdom before choosing. The ring was made of gold, embedded with diamonds and arranged so that it looked like the flower of royalty; carnation. The emerald standing out in the middle... It was one of a kind. Shinobu let out a long sigh, looking at her sister.

-I can't tell you what to do, but I hope for the best... For both our sakes." She mumbled the last words. Somewhere in the distance she could almost feel the storm that was brewing.

.

On another summer day, the two princesses were out in town, hiding their faces as they made their way to the familiar shop that stood just barely out of sight in the central square. When coming in the stinging smell of metal and wood wafted into their noses. Checking that no one was inside expect the two jewel smiths, Shinobu was the first to call out.
