i look at myself in the mirror as my seamstress
alexandra laced up the corset to my wedding gown. tonight was the night, the engagement ball for prince toji and i.when i had first found out i was getting married to some 30 year old prince when i was only 16, i was repulsed. but i knew this marriage was what was good for the nation.. to my parents my nation was simply more of a priority to them than i was
i felt hopeless, completely lost, and in need for an excuse to escape anything i could get. maybe i should run away or not i couldn't survive in the village all by myself. maybe id find someone a nice boy my age tonight and we could run away together, or maybe i can call off the engagement and stay alone for all of time. all my options were running through my head, debating on which one to pick i was completely desperate to not go through with this wedding. but i was pulled out from my thoughts as my seamstress called my name."why, miss.y/n.. you look absolutely stunning in your dress! how fast you've grown would you like me to do your hair now? or is that something you can handle."
she asking teasingly we had been close since i was a child, she took care of me in every way my parents didn't. i chuckled and nodded my head sending her off. i went straight back to staring at myself not noticing as she closed the door i glare at what i see in the reflection, the long poofy white ball gown made me want to hurl id never wear something like this!! i heard toji had picked it out for me, personally it was just too much for me the beads and flowers all the un-needed details just seemed so tacky to me. but to be fair i despised toji and i vowed to hate everything he did. and the dress. my god it was so heavy! i sigh and i slowly reached for my hair brushing it and tying it intro a nice bun i put on my tiara and smile a bit unsure of what to feel.
(mid episode banner:3)
hours pass, it was finally time for the engagement dinner. toji and i stood at the top of the grand stairs of the palace ball room our arms intertwined making me want to gag, we begin to raise our glasses clinking them together for a toast, the crowd cheers as he put the ring on my finger i smile a bit and look out to the crowd smiling and waving, i go down the stairs to tend to my guest but when i was walking towards my friends i bumped into someone. i look up my eyes widening as i saw an almost carbon copy of toji.. he was slimmer and a bit more short but he seemed to be my age. my cheeks grow red as i mumbled a small apology.
"oh my, i'm so sorry.. i didn't mean too.. i'm.. uhm, y/n and you are?"
i asked softly my voice barley being able to be heard over the chatter and music.. the mysterious man looks down and chuckles at me he speaks in a quiet nonchalant voice.
"i'm.. megumi fushiguro, i've heard all about you from my father and it's nice to finally see you for myself."
"wait, fushiguro? your father..? are you tojis so-"
"yup."
my eyes widen as megumi revealed that he was tojis son, personally i thought he was much more attractive than toji but maybe that's because he was my age and he didn't seem like a total jerk. i such a bit and continued to walk towards my friends, just then the music began it was was for a slow dance everyone partnered up and they began to sway to the music.
everyone except me, i looked up at toji who was dancing with his mother, did he.. have a good side? my eyes widen seeing how gentle he was being maybe i was too rough and i should truly give him a chance! just then megumi tapped on my shoulder his hand extended out to me.
"..so, shall we? princess?"
he asked gently his right hand reaches out stroking the top of my head, gently touching my hair trying his best not to mess it up. my face flushes red as he emphasizes the word "princess" he looks at me waiting for my response, i stare at his hand.
