the princess of fontaine very much enjoyed to have tea parties with her female companies. she would often invite them over the weekend and have tea and cake while catching up on the recent gossips.
on this fine day, himiko was enjoying her usual afternoon tea with her fellow acquaintances and talked gently with them, careful to not share any vital information knowing that it would backstab her one day.
as the princess took a sip of her tea, her usual company and extraordinary guard, paimon ran into the garden with an envelope in her hand.
"princess himiko! princess himiko!! it is and urgent matter!" she ran as fast as her little legs could carry her and stood in front of the chair in which himiko was sitting on.
"shush!" princess himiko glared and signaled paimon to her friends, knowing that if they were to hear anything about an urgent matter, it would spread like wild fire among other kingdoms.
himiko grabbed paimon's little hand and walked with her inside the palace before excusing herself from the ladies.
"did i not tell you to be subtle in front of them?" himiko eyed her, annoyed.
"s-sorry princess, but this letter! it is a proposal!!" paimon stood on her tippytoes and flapped the letter in the air so that himiko could take it without bending.
"a what?" himiko asked, confused and took the letter from her tiny hands.
himiko opened the golden seal of the letter and unfolded the paper, revealing a beautiful handwriting.
himiko finished reading the letter and scrunched her nose in confusion, "scaramouche?" she looked at paimon. "you mean the same scaramouche who hated my guts when we were younger and always pulled me by my braid?" paimon laughed at her question and nodded. "it seems that way princess. but i must say, the letter is written splendidly. it is certain that scaramouche does harbor some.. feelings for you."
himiko hid the flush of her cheeks with a stoic expression. "whatever. but didn't his mother pass away few weeks ago? is he seriously going to marry this soon?"
"i guess so, perhaps it is cuz of his mother that he is marrying." paimon stated.
himiko squinted her eyes, "what do you mean?"
paimon looked at her and smiled innocently, "i mean, he must be feeling lonely by himself, hence why he wanted to marry you. think about it! if you both were to get married, kingdom inazuma and fontaine would be flourishing together, would it not?"
himiko thought for a while and nodded "that certainly is true. especially after father and mother passed away in an accident, no one has taken the kingdom of fontaine that seriously.." she mumbled sadly and looked at paimon. "i accept the proposal, send a letter back."

"your highness!" the same guard barged in scaramouche's office without a warning. scaramouche sighed upon his arrival. "you again.. i will seriously fire you."
the guard stood up straight and bowed, "my apologies your highness, i was far too delighted to tell you the news!" he showed him the letter. "it is from the princess of fontaine!"
scaramouche's eyes widened and he quickly walksed up to the guard. he took the letter from him and opened it with shaky hands. the letter revealed a charming handwriting.
scaramouche smirked evilly at the words with 'good intentions'. "of course princess, i have very great ulterior motives." he mumbled and turned towards the guard.
"prepare for the marriage, make sure it is the greatest and the best marriage out of all the kingdoms." he announced and dismissed the guard.
"i hope you will be proud of me mother." he whispered to himself and looked down to the floor.
"i will kill her as you asked me to and rule over the kingdom."
