~Sasuke's POV~

I open my eyes, panting from the nightmare. 'What a great way to start the day,' I think to myself. I sit up and stretch, hearing my bones popping and cracking when I shift my arms a certain ways. I climb out of my bed, feeling slightly sticky and sweaty. So I walk through the huge halls of the castle to my favorite bathroom. When I get there I peel off my slightly damp nightgown and hop into the bath, and I bathe myself. I hear a faint knock on the door.

“Prince Sasuke, I have some clothes for you, sir.” One of the maids say, opening the door slowly. I sigh and go back under the water, not hearing when the maid left. When I finally come up for air I step out of the now cold water and wrap a towel around my waist. After I dry myself off I put on my clothes and drain the water. I walk out of the bathroom not ready for the day to begin.

I hear another knock on my bedroom door, when the sun has finally risen. “The King has requested you for breakfast, sire.” The knight says opening the door. I get off my bed and close the book I was reading, and nod. “Thanks, Kakashi.” I say to him, making him smile. I walk out of my room with him next to me.

“Did you have another nightmare, Sasuke?” The white-haired knight asks me and I nod. Kakashi is one of my favorite knights because him practically raised me as a child. He, Father, and Mother are the only ones who know about my nightmares. He taught me all I know about fighting and the kingdom since Father is too ‘busy’.

When we walk into the dining room, Mother and Father are already there. Figures. I sit down at my seat and start grabbing food. Father clears his throat. “Sasuke, have you found a wife yet?” He asks, making me tense up. “No.” I say, unwilling to look in his face. The thing is, I don’t want a wife. He would have my head if he found out why. “Why not?” He says a bit angry. “I don’t want a wife, Father.” I snap back, unable to hold my temper. He grunts and goes back to eating.

Breakfast is pretty silent after that. Father does tell that there will be a trial today and I have to attend. So when Father leaves I ask Mother what the trial is about. “Well, a man murdered this boy’s father and your Father is going to be deciding whether or not to throw him in the dungeons because of his record.” She explains softly while wiping her face. Mother has always been a gentle creature, unlike Father who’s temper can get the best of him at times. I nod and leave the table, to my room.

In my room I read my newest book, while waiting for the trial. The trial does catch my interest a bit. I eventually fall asleep dreaming about beaches and palm trees that my book described. I was getting to the good part of my dream when I was shaken awake by Kakashi. I groan and sit up to face him. “And I was just to the good part too!” I say sleepily. “My Lord, the trial is about to begin shortly.” Kakashi says, pulling me on my feet. Soon after I’m instantly awake and already heading out the door.

When I walk into the room where the trial is being held, I sit down next to Father. I look around only to find the boy that is being tried. He had blonde hair with bright blue eyes, his skin was more tan then my pale skin. He also had whiskers across his cheeks, he was beautiful. I catch him looking at me too, sort of sizing me up. Our eyes lock, dull black with blue. He give me a small smile and the guards holding him tighten their grip a bit more.

He winces and break the eye contact with me. After a few minutes Father says that he has made up his decision. “Usumaki Naruto, will be sent to the dungeons because of his thievery.” He states, and my eyes widen. He can’t go down there! Think, think, think! “Father, you can’t send him down there. He’ll- He can work with the maids!” I say tugging at his sleeve. He looks at me and then looks at the boy, he sighs but nods. “Due to Prince Sasuke's complaints, Naruto will be working with the maids in the castle until further notice. Dismissed.” Father says and I walk/speed walk over to the blonde boy.
