His Queen

Konoha Tour

You are staring blankly at the decorated ceiling of your room, feeling a little disappointed by how Tobirama ignored your supposed to be discussion for the planning of the wedding. With your disappointment last night, you barely even finished your dinner with the Senju and just kept quiet the whole time before heading to your bedroom to get some rest. You haven't spoke to him yet and you have no plan to leave the bedroom to avoid seeing him today. Just what are you thinking? Why are you acting like a girlfriend who needs pampering? you argued with yourself. Why, don't I have the right to feel as such? Besides, if he said something, he should keep it. You let out a loud sigh, loud enough to be heard by Kira and the other maid in the room. All of a sudden, you heard a soft knock on the door. You did not bother getting out of bed and just instructed Kira to check on whose out there. Kira went outside the room and began talking to someone. They have few minutes talking before she went back inside and turned her gaze to you. "My Lady, the house guard said Lord Tobirama is asking you to come to his office right now. He said there is something you need to talk about."

Hmm, so I'm being ordered now, huh.

You don't want to spoil your day so you set aside being sulky and dressed yourself properly before heading towards Tobirama's office. You knocked at the door three times and waited for his reply before going. "Come in," you heard him say. The shinobi who is guarding the office opened the door and let you in. You are greeted by a scent of refreshing mint and pine. The office is wide enough to accommodate twenty people and still have free spaces. There are few cabinets with books and piles of documents. The table is at the center near the wide window with an overview of the village. There are two long sofas on each side of the table in which you sat on one, near Tobirama's office table. You looked at him and he seems busy with the piles of paper in his desk. Then you stared at his face, still serious but not so scary like the first time you saw him. In fact, he is even more handsome when he is serious. He stopped his work and turn his gaze to you. His eyes look apologetic from the compromise he cannot make yesterday. Maybe he felt that it made you sad. "I am really sorry for not making it yesterday, your highness. My brother asked for my presence at the inauguration of the new academy building. I tried to be back earlier but some of our visitors and sponsors are there so I cannot leave him there with Lady Mito alone," he explained.

So that is the reason he got home late, you thought. Upon realizing the valid reason he just said, you felt embarrassed of your childish actions last night. You bowed your head down before speaking to him, making your voice a little livelier, "Oh, I should be the one to say sorry. It's totally fine, there will be other days to do that anyway." You tried to give him a smile but with the way your lips turned, you know you look awkward and the smile looks so made up. He chuckled a little, and relaxed his back at the chair. Looking at you puzzled as you try hard not to blush. Where did the warrior princess go, now? I need her help! you silently thought thinking why on earth this man can make her act like that. "Are you sure it's just fine with you, princess? Well, I have finished my work today as early as I can so that you and I can have a tour around the village. Is that okay with you?" he asked. You are surprised by his invitation but deep inside you feel that he is actually giving you more time and attention to better know you. You agreed to go with him and asked, "Do I need a horse for the tour?"

"Hmm, no. We will walk," he said with a slight smile on his face.

An hour have passed since he asked to accompany you with a tour around the village, Kira and Mei, your other maid helped you prepare the things you need. They are so enthusiastic in helping you that they cannot stop saying something.

Kira- He wants to show you the village and have some quality time with you.

Mei-He seems so sweet to asked you for that!" while smiling like a teenage girl.
