Kai

   As I neared the approaching hovercraft in our palace hangar I sighed, wringing my hands.
   My girlfriend, Camilla Bromstad was the daughter of the Prime Minister of the European Union. The people often referred to her as Princess Camilla, or the Daughter of the People, but to me she was always Darling or My Dear.
   My beloved Camilla stepped from the ramp, and grinned upon seeing me. She ran as best as she could in her dress and heels to me, and threw herself into my arms.
   "Kai, how long it's been. Darling, I've missed you!" I kissed her forehead, and snaked my arm around her small waist, and led her inside. I took her down to our nicest, most private, library.
   I sat across from her, holding her hands. "My dear, this is so hard to say, so I'll just say it..." I inhaled shapely, and exhaled. "I can no longer see you, as a girlfriend at least." Her face fell, God I'm a horrible person. "Why? Kai, what's going on? Is it Rikan?" I smiled sadly at the floor, my sweet Camilla. Always willing to fight for me.
   "Darling, my father has arranged a marriage for me. I'm to be married to--- Nevermind that. I'm sorry." "My darling Kaito, I beg you to stay with me! I can protect you! My father and I, we can keep you hidden!"
   "Camilla," I said, wiping tears from my face, "you need to go home, I'll walk you out if you'd like." "No. This isn't you, Kaito." she said, spitting out my name as though it were a bitter fruit. "This is Rikan and Torin talking. I'll get to the bottom of this. Nothing can keep us apart. Nothing."
