Prince - Kazunari

Requested by @freakineh ^-^

| Takao Kazunari |

You could've had the world in your hands, a whole kingdom underneath your fiery gaze - but you didn't. You chose him.

He was your knight in shining armour, a prince that rode on his silver clad stead with piercing eyes and dashing looks. A broad sword tucked away by his hip and a strong hold on the reins of his horse, Takao Kazunari was your saviour.

You were a prisoner, kept behind castle walls and a control freak for a father. Why couldn't you walk freely, without the powerful stares of the men that followed behind, armed and ready to dispose of anyone that proved to be harmful? A princess that felt as if she was never really in full control of her body - that's what you were.

You're a princess, a lady that should not be threatened or looked at with sinister eyes. You're a princess - soon to be a Queen - and you'll have the whole world in your hands.

But that was the thing - you didn't want a world in your hands, you wanted yourself in your hands. You wanted to be able to stare up at thousands of stars instead of a bare ceiling, to be able to run your hands through hanging leaves and to be able to walk with the sunlight on your back.

So he came, the boy who made your wish come true. Takao Kazunari, a prince of the tenth kingdom, the youngest of four boys and a father with the kindest of hearts. But he ran, because there was no chance of ever becoming King, so what was the point of remaining when a whole world was waiting for him to be discovered.

His long, straight black hair glistened underneath the glaring moon and sparkled through your bedroom window.

Princess?

A single word that woke you from your sleep, his soft voice felt like it resonated of your bedroom walls. You didn't move a muscle, doubting that his heavenly voice wasn't a part of your imagination. Spending hours stuck in this room made your imagination go wild sometimes.

Princess?

There it was again, and you were sure you weren't hallucinating. Throwing off your covers and rushing over to your window, you cautiously opened it, hanging half your head out.

Princess!

The boy exclaimed, a wide, toothy grin spreading across his half-shadowed face. Intense, silvery blue eyes lit up at the sight of you - despite how late it was (or how early it was.)

Who are you?

You whispered furiously, afraid someone would find whispering voices shouting and would take away the boy.

Takao Kazunari, youngest prince of the tenth kingdom.

The tenth kingdom? You were positive that the tenth kingdom had only two princes, one that was ready to take over the role of King. Your father had thoughts of an engagement - which you didn't really mind, since you had met him and he was a perfect gentleman, as well as his handsome looks (although, you definitely found the youngest prince better-looking). You had never encountered or heard of a Takao Kazunari.

I don't believe you.

You stated bluntly, your eyes becoming cold. Besides never hearing about a Prince Takao, the tenth kingdom was definitely not close. The journey from there to here would've taken at least a few weeks, maybe a month or two.

The so-called prince grabbed hold of the hilt of his sword and pulled it out, a shrill sound crashing through the air for a second. He lifted it to show the hilt, careful not to cut him. A hawk's eye appeared on the hilt, the symbol of the tenth kingdom. You choked back a gasp. Only members of royalty were to ever wield a weapon that had the kingdom's symbol.

I'm here-

Your breath caught in your throat. He paused mid-sentence, a cheeky smile lifting up the corners of his lips.

-to be your prince.

Would you guys like a part 2? :3

And do you guys get it? Takao Kazunari - prince of the tenth kingdom. Their symbol is the hawk's eye.

Because Takao has Hawk Eye and wears the number 10!
