Gentle Maiden

Chapter 1

A beautiful woman with long strawberry-blonde hair laid asleep on a queen-sized bed opened her ruby eyes as her long eyelashes fluttered slightly when she heard someone knock the door of her bedroom. She sat up slowly, yawning as she rubbed her eyes 'It must be Sora...'

"Come in" the woman answered.

Sora turn the door knob as the door opened, smiling warmly at the woman, Haruki Miyu in front of him with admiration and respect. She is the first princess of  Ruoki Kingdom, doted and loved on dearly by the king and the first and crown prince. Well verse in martial arts, history, etiquette, studies and all things that is needed to be known of in this world. Also loved by the people of Ruoki inclunding the citizen for her gentle and kind behavior. But all of his admiration and respect for her wasn't because of that, it's because she saved him from slavery in the past. "Good morning Hime-sama"

"Good morning to you too, Sora"

"You need to get ready to go to Kouka Kingdom later evening, Hime-sama. His Majesty and His Highness told me to tell you that they will be waiting for you to eat breakfast together"

"Is that so... Sora, did you already prepare my bath and clothes?"

"Of course, Hime-sama"

"Thank you, Sora. I can always rely on you" Miyu praised, gently smiling at Sora who smiled brightly in return.

"Then i will wait outside, Hime-sama. Just called me if anything happend"

Miyu chuckled "Yes, yes"

As Sora leaved to wait outside at the door, Miyu went to the bathroom, slipping her nightrobe from her body. After finished taking off everything, Miyu went in the bath that Sora prepared for her, sighing in sastifaction at the water temprature 'Kouka... huh? I hope there will be no problem arise when i'm there'

After nearly an hour bathing, Miyu slip out of the bath, taking the bathrobe on her body. Miyu opened the door to see the maids already standing to help her change. She nodded at them as they started to help her change, dry and comb her silky hair down in a simple but elegant style. After they finished preparing her, Miyu looked at the mirror in approvement. She glanced at them "Thank you, you may go"

"Yes, Miyu-sama"

Seeing them their silhoutte slowly dissapeared from her sight, Sora suddenly appeared in front of her, smiling politely "Are you done, Hime-sama?"

Miyu softly smile as she reply "Ah, yes. Let's go, Sora. Otou-sama and Oni-sama must be waiting for me"

"As you say"

They went to the dining hall with Sora few steps from Miyu at her right.

Arriving at the dining room, Miyu eyes lit up seeing her otou-sama and oni-sama.

The king, Haruki Kazuka and the crown prince, Haruki Kyoya smiled warmly to her when they just noticed her presence approaching them.

Miyu bowed in front of them showing a perfect etiquette of a high nobel like her should have before kissing them on the cheek with a soft chuckle "Good moring, otou-sama, oni-sama"

"Good morning to you too dear. Take a sit my dear daughter"

"Haha, good morning to you too Miyu. I hope you had a peaceful sleep?" Kyoya asked concerned as his dear sister is going to go on a long trip to another kingdom.

Miyu take a seat in front of his brother "Ah,  yes have a good sleep yesterday onii-sama"

At that, Kyoya face relaxed as he smiled gladfully "Is that so..."

Seeing their interaction Kazuki eyes softened as they started to eat with a small interaction here and there.
