My Eyes Are Open

Outing pt.3

"Is this a joke?" I asked. "Because, it's not funny."

"No joke. You're finally awake. What did you dream about?" Mom asked.

"I won't tell you."

"Why not, V-Moira?" Did my brother almost call me by my Martian name? No, not my brother, a stranger.

"Show yourselves properly. This is an order from your princess."

"Ok, you caught us." The, what I assume to be, leader said."You're not going to rule, Valinque. I am."

"Someone! Anyone! Save me!" I yelled, but it was no use.

"Ha ha ha! You really think that anyone is going to save you? No one in the kingdom likes you. You have not shown that you are worthy of ruling." The leader said.

"Well, at least you could introduce yourselves." I said.

"Of course. Where are my manners. You may call me Tona. You don't need to know my real name or the other's names."

"Would you mind telling me where I am?"

"You don't need to worry about that, my fair princess. No, Vali-chan."

Oh, no. An otaku.

"I'm afraid that you won't be leaving here any time soon, so make yourself comfortable." He looked at one of the men beside him. "Take her to her room."

We were walking down the hallway, when the man stopped.

"I'm going to get you out of here. Call me Alor." He said.

"Alor, where am I?"

"If I say it out loud, I'll be killed."

"Oh, Ok." I said.

He laughed and gave me a kiss on the head. "You're so cute, I just couldn't resist."

I stood there, frozen in shock. Who wouldn't? Now I had four men after me. Who's next, Tona?

We started walking again, when finally we got to my room. It was a nice room. Much like my one back on Earth.

"I'll be bringing you your food later. When I do, we can come up with a plan to get you out. Until then, you should rest." Alor said.

I plopped down on the bed when the door closed.

The door suddenly opened again.

"Vali-chan, I'm coming in to talk to you about something." It was Tona.

"Ok."

He closed the door and sat down on the bed.

"I love you, Vali-chan. Marry me, not that brat."

"W-what?" I acted shocked, but I was totally expecting it.

"Marry me, and I'll let you go back to the castle. I will take over ruling, of course." He said.

"Why should I? What if I want to rule? Ever think about somebody besides yourself?" I decided to play with him.
"Or do you just want me to be an ordinary housewife? You know, since you are not of royal blood, you cannot rule, right?"

He stood there, shock written all over his face.

"Brat." He said. He leaned over and kissed me. I pulled away and said, "What do you think you're doing?"

"What I want to do, of course. I'll be back after dinner."

"Why?" Let the annoyance....begin!

"What? Did you just ask me 'Why?"

"Why?"

He marched over and slapped me.
