Forced Wedding

Chapter 4

It had been a month since that night and we had just entered June. Usually this is the most fun time for me since I get my vacation and can visit my family but not this year. It saddened me very much since I haven't heard from them since the morning I got kidnapped. I sat down on a chair on the balcony looking out as the twins ran around playing catch with their new dog they got in pre-termination gift. Today me and the prince would announce our engagement to the whole world as well as our wedding day. We would get married the 20th of August and I just hoped we could use the loophole before that. A knock on the door made me turn my head and I saw it was Miyuki. She came inside with a package and laid it down on the bed before she came out to me.

"Did you not enjoy the breakfast?" She asked with a pitying face.

"I'm not hungry" I said and went inside my room.

"Aiko-sama you must eat."

I shook my head, I just couldn't eat I was too nervous. Miyuki shook her head and pulled me over to the box.

"This is a gift from the prince" She said. "He wanted you to wear it on the announcement."

I sighed and opened the box. Inside was a dark blue dress. I took it up and held it up in front of me. The dress was a knee dress and it was strapless dress with a lace coverage like an a-line. It was beautiful I could admit that. Miyuki nudged my shoulder and I changed.

"Let's fix your hair" She said and we went over to the vanity table.

I sat down and she plugged in the curling iron. While she waited for it to hot up she brushed my hair. The curling iron was now hot and she started to curl my hair. When she was done she pinned back my hair with a hair clip. Then she did my makeup and when she was done she looked at me.

"You're done" She said. "I will come and get you when it's time to leave."


I just nodded as I looked in the mirror. She left and I sighed again. The door opened again and I looked through the mirror to see who it is. I turned around the stool and saw the prince come inside with a servant behind him pushing a trolley. On it there was two glasses and a champagne bottle.

"M-Masahiro-san" I said as I rose.

I hadn't seen him since that night it feels like he has been avoiding me. He only showed himself for me during the weekend meals but he never talks to me, just over me. The servant left and it was just him and me left.

"Don't get me wrong" He started. "I'm just here celebrating our engagement against my will because my parents thought it would be an good idea."

He corked up the bottle and poured up. Then he gave me one glass and then took his.

"Congratulations to us" He said with a bitter voice and toasted.

I didn't said anything I just sipped my drink peeking glances at him from time to time. He wore a black suit with a red and blue tie. His brown hair had been combed but it hanged loosely. It knocked on the door and both of us looked at it.

"Come in" I said when he didn't say anything.

The door opened and Nobuo and Miyuki went inside.

"It's time to leave your highnesses" Nobuo said and bowed down to us.

We both nodded and drank up our champagne. Masahiro offered me his hand and I took it. We followed Nobuo and Miyuki and walked outside to the limousine that were waiting. The chauffeur opened the door to us and Masahiro helped me inside. Then he jumped in after me and then Nobuo and Miyuki came inside. We buckled up as the chauffeur closed the door and went inside the car.
